My first SasuHina! I'm so siked! Lol.

Okay, for those of you who have watched SAO, this story follows that plot, however there will be changes, lots; this is my story after all! ^^ :P

In SAO, they don't use their real names for their avatars; the only person who did was Asuna. However, in my story they do, because I can't come up with anything and it will be so much easier, yes?

For those of you who haven't watched SAO, I'll explain what "NerveGear" is.

It's a helmet with a smooth, deep blue colour. At the back, it has a wire of the same colour stretched out a long pad. It also has a battery and internal memory to store data from the games. The NerveGear also possesses an internal battery. The NerveGear's high density microwave transceivers can determine what the user's face looks like. The transceivers not only block every transmission from the brain to the body, but also from the body to the brain; while using it, the player is completely insensate to the physical world.

Now for a Beta:

A Beta is one of the lucky thousand from a hundred thousand players that got to experience the SAO world before the other ninety-nine thousand did for two months.

So now I'll start with the story now...Enjoy!

"Hell yeah!"

"Congrats." The raven head smirked, "Unfortunately, that boar was just low level fodder like smiles."

"Wha— You kidding me teme! I thought it was some sort of mini boss..." At that Sasuke, the raven head chuckled at the blonde's outburst.

"Only you could think that, dobe."

Naruto just managed to kill a wild boar. Of course with the help of Sasukes demonstration.

Sasuke and Naruto...Best friends as well as rivals since they were five, their parents were best friends so it was no surprise that they were too. Although they wouldn't admit it, it was obvious. Sasukes entire family was killed when he was just seven, besides himself and his older brother who disappeared that same night. Narutos parents were killed in a car accident the next week after that tragic incident. Sasuke now lived with his parents close friends who adopted him. As for Naruto...He was adopted by his father's guardians.

The two did kendo along with Sasukes adoptive sister Sakura Haruno, together. Even though Sasuke was adopted he didn't change his surname. It still remained Uchiha. Same goes for Naruto. Sasuke and Naruto didn't attend the same school but that didn't change anything for them.

Narutos attention turned towards the wild boars that were appearing before he sighed and started practicing with his sword. His eyes widened as he grinned.

"Hey teme, there's a ton of skills like blacksmithing and stuff, right?" He said as he swished his sword in the air.

"Supposedly there are an unlimited number of them." He watched his friend practice. "However, there aren't any magic-based skills."

"An RPG without magic-skills?" He started activating a skill; a dark red light started engulfing his sword. "They're normally given." He completed and swished his sword in the air with full force, the light disappeared. Sasuke watched with a smirk.

"It's awesome, right?"

"Hell yeah! Haha! I can't wait to tell Sakura-chan about this when we get back!" He beamed and jumped in the air, his grin never fading from his face.

"Whatever" He crossed his arms and cast his eyes down. He didn't like his "sister". Mainly because she liked him more than a sister should, like...like like. He didn't like that. She also treated Naruto like dirt. When her parents offered to adopt the blonde she immediately refused, which was another reason he didn't really like her. So he ignored her.

Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Let's go to the next arena." He said nonchalantly.

"Yeah! Let's go I'm ready! Believe it!" He yelled enthusiastically, Sasuke only sighed inwardly. He had an annoying best friend and rival...But he couldn't ask for a better one.

-:-

"This place sure is awesome, much more awesome than the real world." Naruto said as he scanned the place with his striking blue eyes. "It's hard to believe this is all a game. The guy who made this must be a real genius. It puts me at a loss for words..."

"Hn" Sasuke cracked a smirk again. "You're acting Melodramatic." Naruto frowned and stood up from the grass where he was sitting.

"Shut up! This IS my first time taking a full dive! Unlike you who's a beta tester!" He grumbled a few incoherent words before looking away. Sasuke laughed a bit at his blonde friend's outburst. "You really lucky teme, only a thousand people got to beta test the game before it was even released." The raven head simply nodded.

"I never did ask how far you got, so how far did you?"

"It took me two months to get to the eight floor." He glanced at Naruto with a smug smirk. "But now I'll be able to do it in half the time." The blonde only smirked back. "We should get back to hunting."

"I'm in!" Naruto grinned until it faltered. "But I'm starving and have some ramen waiting at home for me...So...I'm going to log out for a bit." Sasuke face-palmed inwardly. Though...He was hungry too...

Although Sasuke would never ever admit this to anyone...He loved food...REALLY loved food.

"I'll log back in after some time." Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. Sasuke nodded...Maybe he'd log out too after Naruto does so he can eat something too. "Hey Sasuke, later I'll be meeting with some friends. Why don't you meet them too?" He frowned, why would Naruto even ask that if he knew he was going to decline anyway? He hardly had friends...Excluding his friend Gaara, which was his only friend at his school. That's right! He was supposed to find the red head earlier...It slipped his mind.

"If you know my answer why do you ask that?" Narutos eyes widened before he looked down. He said nothing.

"I'll go now." Sasuke didn't reply.

"Wha— There's no log out button." His onyx eyes averted to Naruto. Was he that much of an idiot that he couldn't find the logout button?

"Check again" Naruto shook his head furiously.

"I still can't find it!" He yelled before growling. "Check for yourself."

Sasuke mentally rolled his eyes and did just that. His eyes widened...There was no logout button... The dobe was right. "You're right..."

"Well maybe since today is the open day a bug or two is normal. I'm sure the GM (Game master) is working on it right now, um...Sasuke you a beta so is there any other way to log out?" He asked with a hopeful expression.

"No." Sasuke stated simply.

"Damn! There's GOT to be another way! I'm starving! Err...Return! Logout! Go back!" Naruto began jumping up and down in frustration.

"You idiot! That won't work there's no other way. There isn't anything else in the manual." The blonde pouted. Sasuke wished there was another way though... He had a bad feeling about this.

"Awww come on Sasuke..." He whined.

"Believe it." He did his best friends catchphrase causing Naruto to glare at him. Suddenly it began getting dark.

"Listen, I told you, there wasn't anything written in the manual about emergency logouts."

"Ugh! Can't we just remove our NerveGear?" Naruto asked clearly panicking.

"No, when we dive we can't move our bodies in the real world." Sasuke paused, "A component in the NerveGear is designed to intercept all brain signals concerning movement."

"Seriously?" Naruto looked at Sasuke with a blank expression. He had a bad feeling. "Can't someone just take the NerveGear off in the real world?"

"I suppose..." He sighed, "Something bothers me though, and we haven't even got any system announcements."

"You're right..." Unexpectedly a sound of a bell could be heard as their eyes widened. After a while both Sasuke and Naruto were engulfed in a bright blue light that transported them to the Starting Town.

"What's going on Sasuke?" Naruto asked with apprehension.

"I don't know..." A forced teleport...

They looked up to see the game master appear. Chatter could be heard all around.

"Attention, players," He raised his arms. "Welcome to my world."

"My world"?

"My name is Nagato Uzumaki. I am currently the one and only person who can control this world."

Sasuke gasped and so did Naruto, both for different reasons.

UZUMAKI!? Was all that going through his head at the moment.

"I'm sure you've all already noticed that the logout button on the main menu has been removed. However, this is by no means a mistake. I repeat it is not a mistake but a feature of the true Sword Art Online."

"A feature?" Naruto asked to no one in particular.

Nagato began to continue, "You are all unable to log out of SAO, and nobody in the real world can remove the NerveGear or interrupts its operation. Should it be attempted, a powerful burst of microwave radiation emitted from a transmitter in the NerveGear will destroy your brain, thus ending your life."

Everyone began to panic hearing Nagatos words, some even started crying.

"He can't be serious right?" Naruto asked Sasuke hoping for the answer he wanted.

"He's right in whatever he said. The NerveGear also has an internal battery so the power can't be cut either." Sasuke clenched his fists as Naruto looked at him in astonishment.

"Unfortunately it's certainly possible that a player's family or friends would ignore this warning and attempt to forcibly remove the NerveGear. As proof of this, 213 have died from both this world and the real one."

"Two hundred and thirteen people!" Sasuke gasped as his eyes widened in shock. Naruto was too shocked to say anything.

"I can't believe it!" Naruto yelled followed by a low growl.

He then began to show everyone what was happening in the real world. "From this point on, all methods for revival in the game will no longer fuction. If your HP hits zero, your avatar will perish for eternity, and at that moment...The NerveGear will destroy your brain. There is away to get back to the real world however, the completion of this game. You are now on the first floor, the lowest point in Aincard. If you conquer a floor's dungeon and defeat the floor's boss, you may continue up to the next one. Assuming you manage to defeat the final boss on the 100th floor, the game will be considered clear."

Naruto clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes. "Then we'll do just that." Naruto muttered.

"We will clear the game!" He yelled causing everyone to look at him. "J-just you wait Nagato! We'll clear the game!"

Sasuke looked at his friend who was overflowing with emotions. All 100 floors...

"As I was saying..." Nagato continued. "I've prepared a present for all of you in your item storages. Take a look."

After that was said, everyone obliged and began to take a look.

"A mirror?" Each person began to look into their mirror. Unexpectedly a bright light engulfed them as they looked into it.

"Wow Sasuke you look like...You?" Naruto stated in shock as he stared at his best friend after the bright light faded...

"You do too." What the hell is going on! This is crazy...!

"No one will leave Aincrad until all 100 floors are completed. This may be a game but it is no joke."
