Testing the waters
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Disclaimer: I do not own SAO. Just meh OC
*Huff* I breathed. My body was being pushed all the way to its limit. "Get back here, brat!" A voice behind me shouted. "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed. I was running through this deep wild forest, and I couldn't really see where I was going, so I was just running blindly. I kept on running for what felt like hours before I finally came across this small white cabin. "You can't run from me forever." The voice said to me. He wasn't very close to me, but at the same time he wasn't very far either. Being desprate I quickly ran into the cabin, and slammed the door shut.
When I was inside the cabin I could see that everything was empty. The floors were made out of brown blanks, and the walls were just default white bricks. Seeing as I couldn't go nowhere now, I slummped down by the door and covered my face with my legs. I just hoped for the best.
"Come out, brat." I could hear the voice say.
I kept my silence. The strangers feet got closer and closer to the cabin. He got so close to the point where I could basically hear me breathing outside of the door. "Your in there." the stranger said. It was at that point my heart sunked, and I could no longer hear myself breathe. Then...
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
I squinted my eyes, awakeing to the sound of my alarm clock. As I regained more of my vision I slowly started to rasie my body up from it's sleeping position. When I was fully awake and sittiing up straight on my bed, I quickly touched my head. Thinking about the events that just occurred.
"It was all a dream..." I said, while clucthing my head with my right arm.
I looked over to my left just too see my younger brother, Daku. He was still laying in his bed sleeping. He had black hair, black eyes, and had nogut skin color, he was about 5'3 give or take, just an inch shorter than me.
I slowly got up and out of my bed, and I started to make my way over to the bathroom. When I was inside, I took a look in the mirror. My hair was still as white as ever, my eyes were green, and of course I had to have been the same nogut color as my brother. I was wearing a white t-shirt, and black boxers. After I was done looking at myself I took my toothbrush and started to brush my teeth.
About a minute in of me brushing my teeth, I could hear my mother's voice saying: "Kaoku, is that you in the bathroom?" I looked at the bathroom door and responded by saying: "Yes."
"Okay, is Daku awake too?" She asked.
"No, he's still asleep." I replied.
"Wake him up then. The food's almost done."
"Okay." I said, as I spit a little bit of toothpaste that was in my mouth, out.
When I was finished getting dressed, I went back into my room and changed into my usual attire. Which was a red hoodie, grey sweatpants, and white nike sneakers. "Daku." I said. He didn't respond. I then walked over to my brother, and started to lightly push him. "Daku!" I said again this time a little bit more fierce. His face squinted and he started to move his body. "Hm?" he said grumbling with his eyes still closed.
"Mom said wake up." I told him.
"Ok...Just give me 3 more minutes." he replied.
"...Everytime you ask for 3 minutes, you stay alseep for an hour more."
Daku just grumbled, and took the white cover that he was using and placed it above his whole head. I just sighed and walked out of the room. I then walked down stairs and into my kitchen where mom was there cooking.
"Oh, Kaoku. Did you wake up your brother?" Mom asked.
"I tried, but he didn't budge." I replied.
Mom just sighed and continued on cooking. She told me: "Just take a seat, the food's ready." So I did just that. I could smell the scent of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Once I taken my seat just a couple of minutes later mom came over and placed the food right infront of me.
"Thank you." I told her.
She just smiled at me, and walked back to the counter. I always loved the way my mother smiled at me. She had the most beatufiul smile, her hair was black and silk, her skin was so soft and moist, and she gave off the feeling that everything was going to be okay.
A few minutes passed and I was nearly done eating my food, I was a particular fast eater when it came to certain foods. When I was just about to chew on my last straw of bacon I saw Daku coming down the stairs looking like a complete trainreck.
"Oh, Daku. You finally decided to join us." Mom said.
"Hey mom." Daku said grouchy and made his way over to the chair next to me.
"You were longer I than 3 minutes." I told him.
"...Whatever." Daku said.
A few seconds passed and mom soon came over and handed Daku his food. "Oh, boys." Mom said getting our attetion. "Yes?" we both said insync. "Have you guys heard of that new toy thingy there making?" mom asked us. "Toy thingy?" I said. "No, not that I know of."
"You mean the 'nervegear'?" Daku asked. I just looked at him, as I had no idea what there nervegear was.
"Yes, I think that's what its called." mother replied.
"Eh, I'm not too interested in it." Daku said. I was just confused about what they were talking about. "Umm, what's the nervegear?" I asked. Daku just looked at me shocked that I didn't know it. "You mean to tell me this whoolleee time people been talking about it, you have no clue what it is?" Daku asked.
I just nodded my head. "I don't pay that much attention to gossip." I said.
"Meh." Daku shurgged. "That's fair." he said, "But the nervegear is a VR device that's sooo advance. Everyone's been using it lately, especially for this new game that's going to be released tomorrow called 'Sword Art Online' people are going crazy for it." Daku said.
"Huh, neat." I replied. "But no way in hell am I going to get something like that." I said. My mother then snot a glare at me saying: "Hey! Watch your language!" I just shrunked back in my seat. "B...but 'hell' isn't a cuss word." I said softly. "I don't give a dam whether it is or isn't, don't say that kind of lanugaue in this house." mom said. I quickly aplogoized, and I could see Daku right beside me snickering.
"You two better go get ready to go to school." mom said, "Your father will be back any minute now."
"Yes ma'am." We both replied.
Since I was already ready I just made my way over to the den and sat down to watch some tv to pass the time. Daku went back upstairs to finish getting ready. After about 25 minutes passed there was a loud knock on the door.
"I got it!" I said, as I got up from my seat and made my way over to the door. "Who is it?" I asked. "It's me, dad." the voice said. I reached for the door knob and gently moved the door inward. And there appeared my father, he was as tall as ever standing at 6 ft, he had white hair the same color as me, black eyes as dark as the night sky, and his skin was caramel. Dad was wearing his usual brown coat, white and black striped shirt, and cacu pants.
"Hi, Dad." I said.
"Hey, Kaoku." Dad replied smiling at me. "You ready to go?" dad asked. I nodded my head yes. "Good, but where's Daku?" And I replied saying: "Up stairs getting ready still."
Dad just sighed. "That boy's always late." he said. As dad walked into the house, mom camed into the den to see who it was. "Oh, hi honey!" she said. "Hey, dear." dad replied.
Just as I was about to make my way back over to my couch to watch tv, Daku came down the stairs. He was wearing a blue jacket with grey sleeves, black jeans, and red champion shoes. "About time you made it down." I told him. "Yea, I couldn't find what to wear." he responded.
"Okay we ready to go now?" Dad asked. "I guess so." I said. "Yea, I'm ready." Daku said.
"Good." dad said. And he walked out of the house, Daku and I following.
"Bye boys." mom said.
"Bye." we said insync.
When Daku and I were outside I could see that dad was already in the car starting it up. It was a blue honda. So, we walked up and got inside.
"So, you boys finally decided to play any sports?" Dad asked us.
"Nah, not me. I'm not interested in sports." Daku said. Dad just sighed. "What about you Kaoku?" he asked. "Hmm...I'm not sure..." I said. I didn't particulary hate sports, but I never thought of playing it before." I replied.
"You should give it a shot kiddo. Hell, you might surprise yourself." dad told me. I just stared at him with a small smile. I mean who knows, I could be good at playing sports, but however my thought process didn't last long before Daku got my attention by trying to hold in a laugh.
"What's so funny?" I asked him.
Daku continued to laugh and grin. "It's nothing, it's just its funny imagining you playing sports." he said. "And why's that?" I asked.
"Because...You know...Your weak, bro." Daku said.
"Nun huh."
"Yuh huh."
"Alright. Daku, your in no position to laugh, your in the same boat as him." dad said. "HEY!" Daku shouted. A small smirk then came across my face, and I could also notice a small smile across dad's face as well. "Hmhp." Daku grunted as he crossed his arms and remained silent the rest of the way to the school.
The ride took about 30 minutes at best. When we got out of the honda, I heared dad said: "Have a good day boys." before pulling off.
Daku and I just stared at the huge building with a bunch of kids walking in. (Don't really know Kirito's school name, or the way it looks, I just remember seeing it for a split second when he and Asuna were talking on the wooden bench.) "Let's just get this day over with." Daku said, as he sighed and walked forward. I took one more glance at the building and I then started walking right behind Daku.
As we made our way up the steps and were about to enter into the building, I could hear a voice call out: "HEY, GEEKS!" I instantly frowed reconginzing that voice...
"Bill." I mumbled underneath my breath.
"Aww shit here we go again..." Daku said.
We slowly turned around, and we could see 3 boys walking up towards us. One of the persons was Bill. He had blonde hair, blue eyes, peach skin, he was wearing a red baseball cap, red jacket, and blue jeans, followed by black sneakers. He was pretty tall, if I had to guess I would say he was 5'9, and the dude was pretty jacked, he was "Mister Charming" around the school, so eh. The other two other two accompaying him were Jermy and Fred. Jermy had black hair, freckles around his cheecks, brown eyes, and was just a lil shorter than Fred, but not by that much, and he was on the skinny side...He was very skinny actually. Jermy was wearing a green cap, black shirt, black-ish jeans, and blue sneaks. He didn't look like he was much of a threat by himself. Fred was a dude that was probably the worst of them yet, he was 6'4, blue eyes, silk-ish blone hair, blue deep sea eyes, peach skin, and unlike the rest he didn't wear a cap, but he was Bill's older brother. Fred was wearing a blue jacket that was zipped open, and a white shirt, and orange pants, with black and white sneaks.
"What do you guys want from us now?" I asked them, with an annoyed tone.
"Aww, don't be like that, Raymus." Bill said, as he got closer to me, and since he was much taller than me he had to bend down just to come in eye-to-eye contact with me.
"We just wanna be friends." he said, with a dumbass grin on his face. This guy gave off all the signs to just get fucked up, but I was so weak that I couldn't really do nothing to him.
"Well we ain't interested." I said.
Bill's smile then went away and he took his face and slammed it against my face. I immdaitely fell to the floor in pain grabbing my face. "KAOKU!" Daku shouted. As he made his way to the ground to try and help me.
"What's your problem man!?" Daku shouted at Bill.
"My problem?" Bill asked, "Maybe its not us with the problem, it's you loosers." he said.
I was still lying on the ground holding my face. The pain from that punch hurted soooo much.
"We should teach this one a lesson too." Jermy said.
"Yea, we should." Bill said. "You want to take this one, Fred?" Bill asked. "Hmph." Fred just grunted. "No, just hurry up and get it over with. I don't want us to be seen picking on scum." Fred said, as he turned his back and walked away.
Daku just kept his teeth clenched in anger. Glaring at both Bill and Jermy. "He's ficesty." Jermy said. "Let's teach him some manners then." Bill said. Bill and Jermy both made there way over to Daku, Jermy grabbed Daku by the chest. "You get back, I'll take the front." Bill order. Jermy just nodded his head. He then took Daku's arm and lifted them above his head, and he went from infront of Daku to behind him, holding him up.
"I hate you guys." Daku said, with pure hatred in his voice.
THUD
A huge thud come be heard from where we were at. Bill's fist went directly into Daku's stomach, causing my brother to spit on spit. I could see that Daku's eyes were wide and a little bit of tears were welled up in his eyes. I just watched, my anger boiling up inside me.
"Awww, is the little baby about to cry?" Bill teased.
Daku didn't reply as I could tell he was trying to hold back his tears. "Maybe you should do it one more time Bill, to teach him not to talk back to us." Jermy said. Bill just smirked and said: "Yea, I think I should."
But before Bill could do anything, I could hear a voice cry out: "BILL!" Everyone's attention, execpt for Daku, went towards the direction of the voice. "Put him down." it said. The voice sounded femaine. When I got a clear look at the person I could see that it was...Asuna.
"Asuna?" Bill said. "Leave them alone!" she shouted. "Do you two really want to be suspended for picking on little boys?"
When she said "little" that kind of set me off. I mean I'm sure we were exactly the same age as here, and if not we were most likely older. "Hmph." Bill said, as he grunted. He took one last look at Daku who was still trying to old in his tears, and then he looked at Jermy. Bill nodded his head at Jermy dropped Daku, and Daku fell to the ground face first right beside my feet.
"Let's go. These loosers aren't worth it." Bill said.
"Aww, I didn't even get any hits in." Jermy said.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll have more time to have fun with the geeks, but for right now let's just leave'em." Bill said.
Jermy just nodded his head, and the both of them started walking to the entrance where Asuna was. (AN: I felt like I didn't have to describe what Asuna looks like, since if your reading this story you most likely watched SAO, and you should know what Asuna looks like. The only thing different is that she's wearing her school outfit like in the show.)
As Bill and Jermy walked past us, I could see Jermy looked right at me. Even though I was still on the ground I moved my eyes up the best I could to see his face, and before I knew it, I felt a kick right to my stomach causing inmense pain to emerge in me.
"GAH!" I groaned, as I started moving my body left and right trying to ease the pain, but to no avail. "Bitch." I heard Jermy said, he then started following Bill towards Asuna.
"Geez, you guys are annoying." Asuna told them.
"That's what we do best, bae." Bill said.
"I'm not your bae!" Asuna replied back. And that was the last thing I could here them say before they entered the school.
And there Daku and I layed, with no one offering to help us. I could see people walk by, but the only thing they did was either made fun of us, gave us a stare of disgust, or just pretend we weren't there.
"Daku..." I said.
"Y...yea?" he replied back.
"You alright?"
"I guess, could've been much worse."
I then tried my best to lift my body up, and by the time I was sitting up straight I could hear the bell ring. "Shit." we both said insync.
After a couple of minutes of us struggling to get back to our feet, once we were finally up and standing. I could hear someone shout: "HEY, WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING OUT HERE ON SCHOOL PROPERTY!"
"Hm?" Daku and I said, as we turned around to where the direction of the voice was. "Oh come on!" Daku said, "Now we gotta deal with him..." I just sighed, and got prepared for what was next. It was our school principal, but for us...He was basically hell. He was nice to everyone else, but for some reason he couldn't stand me and my brother.
"This is an outrage!" The principal said. When he got closer to us, I could make out that he was still fat, still had them big ass glasses, he still had hair around his head execpt for the top where it was completely bald, and he was wearing the usual principal's outfit. White shirt,black coat, red tie, black pants, and black dress shoes. I also forgot to mention that he had a black mustache.
"Students should not be out of class! Especially not OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL'S BUILDING!" He shouted, as he was now just a few feet away from us.
"P-principal! We can explain!" Daku tried to say.
"Explain what exactly? There's always a problem with you two!" he said to us.
"B-but..." I started to say.
"Give me one GOOD reason why I shouldn't expel the both of you right now?"
"Because! It was Bill and Jermy! They jumped us, and left us he-" Daku tried to say.
"ENOUGH!" The principal shouted. "Everytime I see you two, you always blame it on our school's most valueable althetes! You two should be ashamed." he said. "You didn't even give us a chance to explain ourselves!" I yelled.
"That's it, you two go in my office immideatly, I will not stand for this kind of beahvior from students." he said, as he grabbed me by the collar, and Daku by the collar also and started to make his way to his office.
Everything was embrassing. We didn't even do anything, and yet...We were being dragged across the hallways with every student looking at us, smirks everywhere. But of course what caught my attention the most was none other than the 3 jackasses them selves...All of them were just bursting out laughing while pointing fingers at us.
I just turned my gaze to the floor, but before I could move my eyes. One person caught my attention...He had black hair, dark black eyes, pale skin, and looked to be close to my height. He wasn't laughing at all, he was just staring on. My eyes then diverted from him, and to the school's floor.
The Principal's Office
There Daku and I sat...We were right beside each other in different chairs, and the principal was right infront of us sitting in his desk. He was currently on the phone with our parents.
"Yes, I agree." the principal said.
"Mhm."
"Yes."
"I wonder what there talking about." Daku whispered to me. "I don't know, but it can't be any good." I replied. The principal then lowered the phone from his ear and said to us: "Silence! You two are not permited to talk."
We just backed off and remained quiet.
As I tried to make myself comfrortable in the seat, I could notice a quiet knock on the principal's glass. Even though it was faint, I still managed to hear it. When I looked back I saw none other than Bill and Jermy giggling like freakshows through the window.
I then looked away from the window and then toward the principal. I was going to try and tell him that Bill and Jermy were at the window, but I figured he wouldn't see anything, and then me and Daku would be in even MORE trouble. So the only thing I did was just sat back in my chair and closed my eyes.
The conversation went on for about another 15 minutes, and when everything was over with. The principal finally said something: "Ehem."
My eyes were now gazing at the principal, hoping what he had to say was wasn't going to be that bad.
"With some high consideration, your mother and I came to an agreement." the principal said.
"That were going to be suspended instead of expelled?" I asked.
"No, I'm letting you go back to class, but your punishment will be after school dention." he said.
"...We'll take it." I said, looking over to Daku, who was still fast asleep. I looked back to the principal. His eyes went a little wide at the fact that I took that offer without much hesitation to aruge back.
"Good." he said firmly.
"Now wake your brother up and get out of my office."
So I did just that, I lightly pushed Daku to wake him up. "Hm.." he groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. "Daku, come on let's go. Were done here." I said. "Oh...Okay." he replied, he's eyes now fully open.
We walked out of the principal's office and started making our way to our class. As we were walking I looked up at the walls trying to see the clock. "It's 11:00 am." I said. "Ugh..." Daku groaned. "It felt like we were in there for hours, but your telling me we were only in there for just an hour?!" he said.
"Yep, that's what I'm sayin." I said.
Daku just sighed and we kept walking, we were almost to our class, and since everyone was in there class right about now, we didn't have to worry about people coming incontact with us.
The walk was about 3 minutes before we came to our classroom. I knocked on the door a good 2 times before someone came to open it.
"Who is it?" The voice of a student said.
"Kaoku and Daku." I replied. Silence came across everything, as I looked back at Daku and he looked back at me. I then could hear the noise of giggling sounded off in the classroom. That just caused me the frown up and it caused Daku to grit his teeth in rage.
"...Should've know." Daku said with pure rage in his voice. I could tell Daku was getting REALLLYY pissed off by everyone right now, so I didn't really want to bother him right now.
Me on the other hand...I was just...Depressed...
After what felt like hours of waiting, the door finally came open, and it revealed our English teacher. She wasn't that tall, but she was defintaly taller than us, she had chocolate skin, and black hair that was tied together in a bun, she had black glasses on her face, and she had black eyes. I wasn't really a pervet, but if someone would tell you...She was REALLY thick. She was wearing a white shirt that said our school name, and a black skirt, with black high-heels.
"Why are you late?" she asked us firmly.
"We were in the principal's office." I responded, my voice sounded like I really wasn't in the mood to aruge, which I wasn't.
Daku just remained quiet, pure rage on his face.
I guess the teacher could pick up on our mood, because usually she would say something smart and scold us for no reason, but this time...She just stepped aside and let us through.
We didn't say anything and we just walked in the classroom, when we got in there all eyes were glued to us. I could see the reactions of the majority of kids trying to hold back a laugh at us, others just stared in disgust, some just looked to see who it was I guess, and very FEW didn't care who it was.
Once Daku and I took our seats at the very back beside each other, the teacher then came and started kicking back up with the lesson. The rest of the school day was a normal day for us, we just got bullied till the end of the day. Same old, same old.
At The Cafeteria
"Man, I'm getting realll tired of this." Daku said.
"Come on bro. You should be use to it by now." I said.
"Yea...but still...Shits irritating." Daku said.
"Meh, nothing we can do about it." I said.
"Look on the bright side. At least we only have 3 more years in school after this one." I told him.
"I guess..." Daku said.
We were sitting at the table we always sit at, the small one by the window, just the two of us.
"Hey, you guys heard about the release of SAO coming out tomorrow?" A voice said. "Yea, duh! I mean who hasn't." Another voice said, as they walked passed us.
"Everyone's been talking about that new game SAO all day." I said.
"Eh, I mean from what I heard it sounds cool, but bro...Come on now, there's no way in hell I'm playing a VR game." Daku said.
"Why not?" I said raising my eyebrow at my brother.
"Because...VR is stupid." Daku said, "Does no one think of the consquences?" he asked.
"True..." I replied. "But eh, it's not like we were going to get one anyway." I said. "I'll just stick with consoles."
"Amen." Daku added.
I then took a sip of drink of my apple juice. "It would be fun to try it though." I said.
"Dude, no." Daku said.
"Bu-" I was cut off before I could finish my setence.
"HEY LOOSERS!" A loud voice shouted. Causing everyone in the cafeteria to look.
"Awww, shit." Daku and I said insync.
It was none other than Bill and Jermy...The jackasses.
"You didn't think we'd forget this beatdown you had coming?" Bill asked us.
"Let's go, Daku." I told him. He nodded, and we got up from our seats and started to make our way out of the cafeteria.
"Hey!" Bill said, as he grabbed me by my hoodie.
"What the fuck did I say about ingoring me?"
"..." I just remained silent, keeping eye contact with him.
I could see the rage in Bill grow, as he then took his fist and slammed it into my face. "GAH!" I yelped as I flew to the ground.
"THAT'S IT!" Daku shouted, as he charged for Bill.
But it was no use as Jermy grabbed him from behind again. "?!" was all I could remember from Daku's face expression, as Jermy took him up in the air, and slammed him to the ground head first.
My eyes went wide, and everything went in slow-motion for me. I couldn't feel my heart beat...The only thing I could see what's my brother's head crashing into the ground...
"You have been chosen." was the only thing I could hear in my head, as I didn't pay it much attention because the only thing I wanted to do was rage out.
I don't know what was going on with me as my body started trembling, but the only thing I wanted to do was just to beat the living shit out of Jermy. So, I got up, and it felt like I was going at hyper-speeds, and I charged at Jermy, and with a cock back from my fist, I slammed it against Jermy's face as he was getting back up from body slamming Daku. I had sent Jermy flying to the ground, with blood streaming out of his face.
I could see everyone's reaction to my punch, as they all went wide-eyed. Especially Bill, and that was my next target. I dashed toward Bill and with another cockback I smashed my fist against his face, I could feel his bones crush at the pressure of my punch, and I didn't know how I could do something like that, but I wasn't thinking. I didn't plan on stopping there either, I didn't know what had came over me, as I wanted more...I wanted him to suffer. So I dashed at him one more time while he was falling to the ground and with one final cockback...I released my fist, but I could feel my body weakend tremendously, and my fist and slow'd it pace down so much, that someone had caught it!
When I looked up to see who had caught it, I could see that it was none other than Fred. I could see him glaring at me with thoose cold eyes, and that was the last thing I saw from him before he took his fist and punched me...And that was it...Everything blacked out.
