A/N- Okay so I decided to try a SAO fan fiction since I found that Kirisuna was lacking in my opinion. I will still be updating True Friends if anyone is following that. I also always wanted to see a story where Asuna follows Kirito after the first boss fight. SO without further ado here it is :3

Asuna's POV

I watched as the player walked up the stairs after his speech. Many people seemed to fear him already but somehow I could tell it was an act. He was so considerate the night before when he offered to show me a quest to help make my bread taste better. Now he is walking up the stairs purposefully in what could only be an attempt to protect the other beta testers. I made up my mind and raced up the stairs. "Wait," I called out as I stopped halfway up.

He turned around slowly and I thought I noticed something flash behind his eyes. It took me a second to realize that it was regret. His voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "You'll be strong one day. If you ever get a guild invite from someone that you trust you should take it."

My mouth dropped open in surprise. It was almost as if he was expecting to die before he saw me again. 'Wait see me again,' where did that thought come from I just met him a few days ago. "What… what is your name?" I ask hesitantly.

"Kirito," he said simply while pointing up. "If you look at the top of your HUD you can see party member names."

"Ki...ri...to," I said slowly before chuckling, again he turned around to leave. "Wait! I… I'd like to go with you and party still," I said boldly while looking up to his face.

A smile appeared on his face briefly before it disappeared. "You wouldn't want to party with me. I'm a beater and beaters should solo only. Everyone I interact with will be outcasted as well, you don't need that."

"I wasn't in a party until the boss dungeon so that doesn't bother me," I said while shaking my head. I couldn't figure out why but I had the feeling that I should follow this person, Kirito. I looked back behind me at the other players who were watching us with disbelief and what seemed like anger. The only player who didn't have that look was Agil which I was grateful for.

I turned around and saw Kirito sigh while shoving his hands in his pockets. "If that's what you think is best," he said in a calculating tone before opening the dungeon door. A friend invite appeared in front of me which I accepted immediately. "Coming?" he asked casually before entering the new floor. I smiled and raced after him.

A/N- Okay so this is just a short teaser of how I am going to write this story. It will also hold Kirito's POV in chapters and possibly other characters. Please review I appreciate it so much.
