Hey guys Crimson here and I like to say something about this fanfic. In 2016 I had a idea where Kirito upsets Yuuki which she runs of a former laughing coffin member sees Kirito chasing her who will then walk to to Kirito and will begin taunting Kirito about events that took place in SAO but this idea is totally different than this idea as the old idea was called Reapers of Darkness while this idea is called Relics Of The Past where Yuuki runs of and bumps into some who hates Kirito for many reasons but also wants to atone his sins which Yuuki will then helps him to find happiness. But any I really hope you enjoy this fanfic
? P.O.V
"Hey have you heard that a guy called Kirito almost managed to defeat Zekken and that he's the first person to bring her health bar into the red." "Seriously? I think he's the only person who mange to bring her health down by seventy five percent." I heard two players talk about the unbeatable Zekken which I didn't care about but however they'd said a name that's very familiar to me. "Heck the guy was even using two swords and I think he could of beaten her if the timer didn't hit zero." I got up after I heard that and walked off with a smirk. "So Black Swordsman your playing this game too huh? No matter, our paths will cross soon, so you better be prepared or should I say Beater?" I said to myself as I walked to an inn

Kirito P.O.V
A few months had past since Asuna had to leave us due to family which caused a big impact on us all but mostly importantly it felt like I had nothing left. "Hey Kirito-kun!" I turned around and it was Yuuki. "Hey Yuuki, what's up?" I asked as she looks like she wants a favour. "Hey can I ask your for a favour?" She asked me with that smile of hers and I sighed. "Sure what's the favour?" I asked and stood up. "Well there's a fountain that has a legend that states if two people stand in front of it with their backs turned-" I placed my hand on top of her head which interrupted her "You mean the legend that if a couple stands in front of it and if you throw a coin into the fountain with their backs turned, you find true happiness?" I asked as I knew this is what she's referring too and I can see a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Yeah...that's the one but we can still do it even if we'll not a couple." She smiled at me which I just sighed. "Yuuki Iv'e haven't moved on to form another relationship, so I have to reject your offer sorry." I told her which she looked like she was going to cry. "Aww come on Kirito, don't be a lazy bum. You've been sad for five months now and I want to help you move on." I clenched my hands together. "Yuuki... what if somebody saw us doing it together? What if they thought that we'll started dating?" I told her but she gotten angry. "SO WHAT KIRITO! LET THEM THINK THAT WE'LL DATING! I JUST WANT TO HELP YOU TO FIND HAPPINESS SINCE ASUNA HAD LEFT US! SO THERE'S NO NEED TO BE A JERK TO ME ABOUT IT!" Yuuki said and slapped me and ran off
Later
? P.O.V
I'm walking to the towns inn and a small girl is running away as if she's being chased but because she's not watching where she's going which she knocks me over and she falls on top of me. "Ow... huh?" That's all I hear she said and I placed on a unamused face. "I'm so sorry mister, I didn't mean to knock you over?" I she apologised to and at least she has good manners. "Never mind that but why are you running as if you being chase by a stampede of monsters?" I asked jokely which made her giggle. "Well I just had a argument with a friend and he was being a complete jerk to me." She told me and I placed my hand on her head. "I don't mean to be rude but what''s your name?" I asked and she smiled. "My names Yuuki and it's the pleasure to meet-" "Zenith... my names Zenith and it's a pleasure to meet you Zekken." I told her which shocked her. "Wait you already know who I am?" I smirked due to her response. "Well to be honest, I didn't know you was Zekken till you told me your name as I heard people talk about you and what you look like. I replied with a straight answer and she gave me a weird look
"Zenith can I ask you a question?" She asked and I began to guess what he question might be. "You can but however, I won't give a solid answer depending on the question." I told her but her face expression changed. "I want to ask do you know somebody called Kirito as-" I decided to interrupt her. "Iv'e known him for quite sometime now as I'm nothing but a relic of his past and he's a relic of my past." I replied which surprised her. "You sound like as if you hate Kirito... is there any reason?" "Lets just say we have a very long history and there was something that he'd did but lets talk somewhere private, so lead the way." I told her which she nodded and I followed her
Yuuki P.O.V
("Zenith... I wonder how you met Kirito and what he did to you to make you hate him.") I couldn't think of any reason but what does he mean by relic. ("But he wants to talk in private but instead of taking me somewhere, he decided to trust me to take him somewhere... does he want me to trust him or is he just using me? No he wouldn't of told me that he's a relic of Kirito's past and that Kirito is a relic of his past." I continued to think as I lead Zenith to a safe area where we can talk privately.
Five minutes Later
"Hey Zenith... is this place okay with you?" I asked him and he looked around a smile was formed. "Yeah this place is suitable enough and now what questions do you want me to answer?" He replied with smile and he was impressed by the place I took him. "Right!... How much do you know about Kirito?" "Well...The Black Swordsman is a fucking asshole for one for what he did back in SAO. First he allowed Diavel to die by not saving him! Secondly he's one of the worse beta testers which everyone decides to call him Beater. That's two things I hate about him and I can continue if you like." He replied back to my question and I couldn't believe that he use to be in SAO too. "Okay...next question what do you mean by relic?" He sighed "Because I used to be in SAO and that we have encounter each other a few times... lets just say our relationship wasn't friendly. So if our paths do cross once again, one of us will shatter to pieces." He said and it made me gulped "What do you mean by one of us will shatter into pieces?" I asked but he sighed. "I'll be battling the Black Swordsmen while he'll be battling the Reaper." My eyes widened as the player standing before me was a player killer back in SAO but I might as well ask him why was he called the Reaper.
"Hey if you don't mind me asking but why was you given the nickname the Reaper for?" I asked but his reply was something I was expecting. "Well I defeated a undead boss which dropped a legendary sword that was called the Reaper which had all skulls on the handle and because I wore a black cloak, they'd gave me a nickname the Reaper. We lost so many good people and it is my burden to carry as I'm being haunted by their screams. People had thought Iv'e committed suicide but there all wrong as I'm still well alive and I refuse to become a myth or some dumb fairy tale." He sighed after explaining it all but I began feeling sorry for him as he lost the people he cared about and now he's being plagued by their dying screams.
"I think you should make new friends Zenith, you cannot just isolate yourself forever as don't you want to find happiness?" I do want to find happiness but before I do I need to atone for my sins. I was feared because of my greed for the weapon and people refused to invite me to their parties but it makes sense as I could of gotten them killed." I instantly hugged him as he's been alone for so long and yet he wants to find forgiveness which got me a idea
"Hey how about we spend the day together such as going on a quest or even mob hunting?" I asked him but he began laughing. "here I thought I might of scared you and it's been a very long time since I heard someone say that to me so sure I accept your offer as maybe I could find forgiveness though your kindness." He told me and a smile which made me blush but I'm glad I could help someone who's been lonely for years and yet here I am making them happy. "I want to show you a surprise but I'll show you it during a battle as I have a unique skill that many envy me." He told me and I began wondering what it could be.
I really hoped you guys loved the story and tell me whatcha think as I'm somewhat thinking I should pair these two together and I got a great idea about when Kirito finds out that Yuuki is with someone else who actually gets jealous but any please commit and favourite and this is Crimson signings out.
