Chapter 1

(Buranku P.o.v.)

"Beep, beep!Time to wake up, Buranku!" My roommate, Argo, slammed opened my door, and threw a book at my face.

"What's this about? ''Codes for hacking into GGO'? Thanks. I can get all my old stuff back from SAO." I laughed, then threw a playing card at her. Surprisingly, it hit and pierced her shirt.

"What the heck was that for? I just gave you what you'd been searching for, since you started to play Gun Gale Online!" She punched me on my arm, and I laughed.

"You know, I just thought of are we even roommates? I mean, we're only in highschool." I threw one of my cards at a target that I have placed onto a wall in my room of Kirito.

"Because we have to. We both have nowhere left to go to, except for a foster home or orphanage. I know it sucks, but at least it wasn't with someone that we didn't know, right?" She walked out of the room, and I just stared at a picture that I have on a desk next to my bed. It was of my brother: the creator of Sword Art Online, the great Kayaba Akihiko. When most people that I'm near speak about my brother in a negative way, I just throw some playing cards at them, aiming at their pressure points. This causes them to collapse, and I just laugh at that.

*Knock, knock* I heard Argo knocking on my door again, and she asked "You're actually gonna' come to school today, right?"

"Sure. It's not like I have much else to do." I threw myself off the bed, and looked at myself in the mirror. My white hair went down slightly past my neck. Though, right now, my hair was all messed up and knotted. "Yo, Argo! I need you to un-knot my hair!" Once I said this, I could've sworn that I heard her chuckle.

"Sure, just give me a minute!" I heard some banging and cursing, then I saw Argo as she opened the door with a brush in her hands.

"Get that thing away from me!" I attempted to step back, but then I realized that all the room I had left was on my bed. "Damn. Just get it over with." She punched me, then began to tug on my hair with that brush. "I hate you."

"Let's just get this over with, yes?" I nodded, and grabbed my phone.

"Let's see here. There's an upcoming tournament in GGO, which is actually offering real money? Good. I'll make my debut there."

"Alright, I'm all done. Now go away."

"Thanks, ma-" I cut myself off, and she punched me in the face.

"Shut up, man." She walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

"I hate this." I got up, and opened my closet. "I hate this uniform." It was an average uniform for the school of people who were stuck in SAO. A black standard high-school uniform, with a golden-colored symbol on the left of it.

"Hurry up, Buranku! You'll miss the start of class!"

"Crap!" I quickly threw in my clothes, and added my favorite white, light material jacket, with light orange fur on the inside. "Let's go to school." I grabbed some keys from my desk, and jumped out of my second story window, onto a tree, and climbed down from it. I walked over to my custom made motorcycle, which is sleek, aerodynamic, and extremely fast.

It took me about six minutes of riding to get to school, and when I did, I walked straight to class. When I opened the door, I saw that there were already two people in the classroom, sitting next to each other. One had long, flowing, orange hair, and giant breasts, while the other was a guy with black hair and a black under-shirt.

"Oh, someone else is here!" The girl looked over at me while I was walking over to the farthest seat in the back, right next to the window. I sat down and saw them talking amongst themselves. I think I heard one of them saying "I think we should introduce ourselves." They walked over to me, and the girl giggled. "Hi, I'm Yuuki Asuna!" She bowed, and walked away. "Kirit-I mean, Kirigaya, introduce yourself!"

"Okay, Asuna. Hello, person. I am Kazuto Kirigaya." He waved his hand, and walked away. By the time that he was seated again, the whole class was filled and the teacher walked in.

"Ah, it looks like you actually decided to show up today. Eh, Akihiko?" The teacher stared at me and laughed, while I heard whispering around the class.

"He's related to the psycho who put us in that death-game?" When I heard that this was said, I threw six cards at she who had badmouthed my brother, and they collapsed, as I only hit her in the pressure points.

"Don't you dare disrespect my brother!" Everyone looked at me, and then the teacher broke the silence.

"Buranku Akihiko, you have detention."

"Like I'll even come," was all I had said for the rest of the period. Though, I did see the girl taken to the school infirmary, and I said "She deserved it."

After a few hours of this class, it was time for lunch, and I was quickly pulled back by the teacher. "Here's your detention slip." I was about to walk away, then she continued. "Don't take everything personal. You're not the only one wh-"

"I could've been the only one who watched their family killed right before their own eyes!" I stormed out of the room after that.

After I stormed out of class, I ran over to a cherry blossom tree, and sat under it. I saw a cherry blossom falling, so I threw a playing card at it, and it split in half. "Why did he have to enter that game?" After I said this, I drifted off, into sleep.

Everything's dark. There's no one here. Just black, blind, darkness.

"Hello, little brother. How have you been faring in the real world?"

"Hello, big brother. How've you been? Great, I assume?" His body began to materialize in front of me.

"How have you been liking school? Do you still have the gloves that I made and gave to you?" I nodded, then hugged him.

"I'm glad to know that you're still alive."

"Yes, I guess I am still alive. In your mind." I stopped hugging him, then he backed away.

"It was nice talking to you."

"Indeed. It was ni-" I saw something go through Kayaba's chest: Kirito's black sword, Elucidator. Once he was impaled, I saw Kirito's silhouette, and when I got a better look at him, he was impaled as well.

"I'll kill you!" I jumped up and attempted to strangle him, but he pixelated, just as my brother did, before I could kill him. I saw brother's sword on the floor, and then I just broke down. "Br-brother. Brother? Suicide? No, someone would pull me back. Th-th-th-th-that's the only option that I would have." I looked around and saw that everyone was taking amongst themselves. "No. Alone. All alone. Scared. Out of mind. Breaking down. No, no, nono. nononono. nonononono, nonononononononononononononononono!" Soon after that, I'd blacked out.

"Gaaaaaahh!" I suddenly woke up, sweating bullets. When I looked around, I saw that same couple from earlier sitting next tome and eating sandwiches. And, as it had appeared, I had scared them as I awoke.

"Hey, are you okay?" Asuna walked over to me, and put her hand out.

"Info?"

"What?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry. I'm a very... Distracted person. I ramble to myself." When I saw her hand, I grabbed it, and when I grabbed it, I suddenly collapsed.

"Are you okay? We need to get you th-"

"I don't need to go to the infirmary. Could you lean me onto the tree? I can't feel my left leg." She looked at me puzzled for a moment, then Kazuto stood up.

"I'll help you, Buranku." He grabbed my arm, then dragged me to the tree.

"Thanks, and could I have glass of water?" Kazuto nodded, and went to get it. While he was getting it, I went into my jacket and pulled out a small syringe. I then proceeded to check it, then I quickly injected it into my left leg. This gave me enough adrenaline exclusively for my left leg to last for at least 12 hours. Next, I pulled out a small pill bottle, and took two out.

"Here's your water, man." I took it, and said thank you.

"Here goes nothin'." I popped the pills into my mouth, and drank the water. I felt my heart skip six beats, then I felt somewhat normal. "Now, we go back to class?" They both nodded at this, then, I walked over to my motorcycle, and rode home. "I'm skipping school."
