Okay guys, here it is. My first full fledged Sword Art Online story. The story pacing, and chapters are going to be told through different point of views. Then after the first six chapters, I restart the order, and it just kinda goes on like that. So, if you have any requests for the story, I am open to them. Hope you enjoy, and feedback would be appreciated.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sword Art Online, though I wish I did. If I did I wouldnt wait a year before doing the english dub. I would do them at the same time, since its fucking popular here!

So, I just recently bought this game. Sword Art Online. I had been apart of the beta, and was one of those who had managed to get to the tenth floor. Anyway, you should remember that. Its kind of important. As it happens to define me, and the others who reached the tenth floor as Beaters. Beta Tester-Cheater, you get it. Well, I bought the game, and now apparently the creator Akihiko Kayaba announced that all 10,000 players are trapped inside, and the only way to escape is to clear the game. Oh, and if you die. That's it, there's no respawns. You're dead for good, in SAO, and IRL. That's In Real Life for you slow people. But, anyway, there. You're all caught up. Now we can begin the real story, which really starts the first time I met her...

Kitass wandered through the wilderness, after that amazingly wonderful appearance by the creator of SAO(Can you sense the sarcasm?) He had been on nerve constantly, there were a few options, he could give up for one. But he was never a quitter, and to be honest he was afraid to die. He saw a girl fighting a wolf, and having trouble. Obviously not a beta-tester, she wasn't using any of her sword skills.

Kitass ran up to her, using a quick sword skill he killed the wolf, just before it landed a killing blow on the girl. Kitass turned to her, she glared at him. He sheathed his sword, and smiled at the girl.

"What the fuck, that was my kill!" She yelled storming up to him, and shoving him back, he staggers, and before she can shove him again he grabs her wrists.

"I just saved your ass. You let your health drop too low. You do know that you'll die for real if you lose all your health." He told her, she scoffed.

"You actually believe that? I don't think he could really do that." She said, Kitass shrugged.

"You don't understand the full capabilities of Nerve-Gear, he does. You don't know what he can really do with it." Kitass said, the girl paused for the moment, because he was absolutely right, she did not know a single thing about Nerve-Gear, other than the requirements to play SAO.

"Fuck. I guess you're right... I apologize for my outburst. You were just trying to help... And what is a sword skill?" The girl asked, Kitass laughed.

"This will take some time to explain... But, I'll do it... If you tell me your name." Kitass said, smiling at her, she glared at him.

"Why would I do that?" The girl asked, Kitass shrugged.

"What, I can't ask for a beautiful girls name?" Kitass asked, the girl blushed slightly, but quickly glared at him.

"I'm not giving you my real name. You can already see my player handle. Don't be stupid." The girl said, Kitass laughed.

"Fine, you can't blame a guy for trying. How about we travel together. That would be sufficient payment." Kitass said, the girl shook her head.

"So basically you plan to make me follow you around, because your teaching me, that hardly seems fair." The girl yanked her hand out of his grasp, and turned away from him. "I'm leaving now, I'll figure it out for myself." She said, and stormed off, Kitass sighed. Then chased after her.

"Wait! Hey, come on! I'm sorry, I just really want to work with somebody, and I saw you, please work with me?" Kitass pleaded, after he caught up to her, and grabbed her hand. She sighed deeply.

"You really don't give up... Fine, I'll work with you. Only because I feel bad, but I will make this clear. We are just working together, nothing more, nothing less. We watch out for each other." The girl said, Kitass smiled, nodding.

"Okay then." Kitass said, before opening his menu and inviting the girl to a party. "Ryder. I like that name." Kitass said with a smile, Ryder accepted his request, and pushed some of her white hair from her face, as she gazed at him with her dark blue eyes.

"Thanks. Kitass is a strange name, but I'm not judging you. It is a game afterall." Ryder said, staring at Kitass as he smiled, and tilted his head so that his brown hair moved slightly, as he looked at her with his emerald green eyes.

"I know it's a strange name. But, we really should get moving. I know a place we can get a ton of easy xp." Kitass said. Ryder nodded and followed after him.

"Were you in the beta test?" Ryder asked, Kitass nodded.

"Yup. Me and a couple others made it to floor ten. That's also why we need to hurry. One of the other top beta testers was running to the easy quests." Kitass told her she nodded and they both ran off, trying to beat the other beta tester, not likely, but it never hurt to try.

"Wait a second." Ryder said, suddenly stopping, Kitass stopped, and turned around to look at her.

"What is it?" Kitass asked, raising a single eyebrow. Ryder poked his chest.

"You still haven't taught me how to use a Sword Skill." Ryder reminded him, he sighed.

"But I hate working... Ugh, fine. Come on. Little miss demanding." Kitass said, Ryder glared at him, and followed him so he could teach her how to use Sword Skills.

Now lets fast forward a bit, the first floor had been cleared, and my fate was sealed, that's when I was labeled as a Beater, because of Kirito, the Beta Tester who cleared the first floor. Me and Ryder had gotten past our little strictly business stage, and became friends. But more importantly that's when I met Ridex, a fellow beta tester. He didn't make it to the tenth floor, but he made it pretty far.

Kitass and Ryder had showed up at the setup for another boss raid. Floor 55. Asuna was leading the meeting, she really wasn't someone to cross, she was known for her lightning fast speed. She actually was Kirito's partner in the very first boss raid, where he named himself, and the rest of the top Beta Testers, Beaters. He was also present.

"I'll have the assault team switch out, and the secondary team can supply some damage. While I lead a flanking team to the left, Ryder, and Kitass you two will help Kirito, and Ridex in flanking it from the back, are we clear?" Asuna asked, Kitass, Ryder, and Ridex nodded.

"I don't need them, I can flank him by myself." Kirito said, Asuna glared at him.

"We all need to work together. You know that, just because you're a solo beater doesn't mean you can't participate in the plan." Asuna told him, Kirito shrugged.

"Fine. Just don't get in my way." Kirito said, Ridex gave him a big smile and clapped him on the back.

"Hey, wouldn't dream of it. After all, its not like we die in real life if we make one tiny mistake... Oh wait..." Ridex said in a joking tone, Kitass laughed, but Ryder elbowed him.

"Ow. It was funny." Kitass defended. Ryder glared at him, and shook her head.

"It's not funny to joke about death. I thought you would be smart enough to see that, you bonehead." Ryder said, Ridex laughed.

"Ha, somebody's whipped, man. Are you sure you can defend anyone when your scared of your own girlfriend?" Ridex questioned, with a smirk. Kitass, and Ryder glared at him.

"We aren't together!" Kitass, and Ryder yelled simultaneously, then glared at each other.

"Anyway!" Asuna yelled, interrupting the banter between them, as she slammed her hands on the table. "Are we agreed on the plan?" Asuna asked, Kitass nodded, as did Ryder. "Good. Tomorrow we move. Don't be late." Asuna said before walking out, she was 2nd in command of The Knights of the Blood Oath, the best guild in the game. Everyone else filed out, including Kitass, and Ryder. That's when Ridex approached them.

"Hey, nice to meet you. Names Ridex, in case you have short term memory loss." Ridex said, holding out his hand, Kitass shook it, then Ryder. Ridex tilted his head, so that his dark brown hair shifted from its usual windswept style. His eyes were a deep green.

"I'm Kitass, nice to meet you. And this is my partner Ryder." Kitass introduced them.

"You were in the beta right?" Ridex asked Kitass, who looked nervous.

"Yeah, I'm a Beater. You got a problem with that?" Kitass asked, Ridex shook his head.

"Calm down there. I'm sure you had a good reason to beat her. I know, because I'm a Beater." Idex said, Kitass looked confused.

"What are you talking about, beat who?" Kitass asked, with a confused look.

"You know, men who beat their wives, get labeled as beaters. It was a joke, kinda like your life." Ridex said, his words were spiteful, but his overall tone was light.

"Are you just gonna keep cracking jokes? Because it's really getting old." Ryder spoke up, in defense of Kitass.

"What's getting old is my body. I've been in here for a while." Ridex stated the obvious, Ryder threw up her hands and let out an enraged noise.

"I'll be at the inn when your done talking to the idiot." Ryder said, bitterly and started walking away, Ridex smiled and waved after her.

"Love you too!" Ridex yelled, Ryder flipped him off, without turning around, or stopping. Kitass laughed.

"Thanks a lot. Now I have to deal with an angry Ryder. The one thing I'm scared of." Kitass said, shuddering at he past memories when she was angry. Ridex shrugged.

"I'm sure she'll be fine. Just lynch a couple children, while dipping some puppies in burning oil, that's what I do when I get angry." Ridex said, very casually, Kitass started laughing.

"That's probably one of the most fucked up things I've ever heard... I like you." Kitass said, Ridex looked like he got serious.

"Okay, you like me. Lets go blow each other over there." Ridex said, pointing to a cave. Kitass laughed a bit, and shook his head.

"I'm not gay, but fuck it." Kitass said, Ridex laughed.

"Nah man. But for cerealness, we should legit keep in contact. Us Beaters need to stick together." Ridex said, sending Kitass a friend request. Which he accepted.

"We'll keep in touch." Kitass said, Ridex nodded, then began to walk away.

"Okay cool man. Listen, I got to go get some crafting done. But I'll see you tomorrow during the boss raid." Ridex said, Kitass nodded. They went their separate ways. Kitass picked up some ingredients from a NPC merchant before heading to his shared room with Ryder.

"Ryder, I've got the ingredients. Can you make something now?" Kitass asked, Ryder glared at him.

"I storm off in a fit of rage, and the first thing you ask me when you get into our room is about eating!" Ryder yelled, Kitass rubs the back of his neck.

"Well, You're always happier when your eating." Kitass said, Ryder sighed.

"I suppose you're right. Put the ingredients on the counter." Ryder told him, Kitass did so, then she began work.

"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider my offer? It's the logical thing to do." Kitass said, Ryder glared at him.

"Kitass, I meant what I said. I'm not marrying you." Ryder said firmly.

"Its useful, we'd have a shared inventory. That way, once I buy ingredients you could pull them, and have the meal done by the time I get here." Kitass said.

"See, right there. A selfish reason. And no, I won't marry you. I have a boyfriend IRL." Ryder said, Kitass shook his head.

"And you really think he's going to be waiting for you? We've been trapped for months!" Kitass said, Ryder stopped everything she was doing and glared at him coldly.

"I'm going out." Ryder said, angrily. She stormed out of the kitchen, Kitass followed her.

"I'm sorry, I'm just being realistic!" Kitass said, Ryder didn't turn back.

"Fuck you." Ryder said, before throwing open the door, and slamming it shut behind her.

"Hi!" Ridex said, as Ryder stormed past him. She glared at him with an obscene amount of hatred, as she left the inn. Ridex shrugged. And knocked on the apartment door she just stormed out of. Kitass opened it.

"What?" Kitass asked miserably. Ridex waved jovially.

"Hi, I was just heading to my room, when I saw cranky pants. What did you do? Try and rape her? I would." Ridex said, Kitass shook his head and let him inside. The food was done, but Kitass would wait for Ryder, like he always did.

"No. I've been trying to get her to marry me, for the shared inventory. But she got mad because she actually has a boyfriend IRL, and then I said that he wouldn't wait for her, and she stormed off." Kitass explained.

"You weren't wrong. Jews probably cheating on her right now. I would." Ridex said. Kitass shook his head.

"Do you just open your mouth and think. 'Hey, what's the most offensive thing I can say?'" Kitass asked, Ridex nodded.

"Yup for sure. Anyway, I gotta go. Just wanted to see what was up. Like I said before, see you at the raid." Ridex said, before leaving. Kitass slumped down in a chair, and waited for Ryder to get home.

She did return though it was a few hours later. I couldn't tell, we worked through it... Well, she said she was fine. But then again when a girl says that, it usually means that Hiroshima plus Nagasaki, times 9/11 is going to come upon you, in the form of her wrath. Anyway the next day was the boss raid, it went well, there were no casualties, but a few close calls.

"Well, nothing like almost dying to get the seamen pumping in your balls." Ridex said, as he stretched after the fight, Ryder looked at him disgusted, while Kitass laughed.

"Gross. But, thanks for the save. I'd probably be dead if it wasn't for you." Kitass said, glaring slightly at Ryder. She noticed, needless to say, she wasn't pleased.

"What?" Ryder snapped, Kitass shrugged.

"Where were you, we're supposed to be partners." Kitass said, and Ryder dropped her glare, and sighed. She looked away from him.

"Lets talk about it later. I'll go get us a room on the new floor." Ryder said, and strode off. Kitass and Ridex looked at each other.

"Somebody's on her period." Ridex said, Kitass thought for a moment.

"I wonder how that works. Since its a virtual world, and not her real body, do they still get periods?" Kitass asked, Ridex thought.

"No clue, who cares. This battle proved I need some better gear. Ima go, and get some of that." Ridex said, before walking off. Kitass followed after him, not wanting to stay inside the boss room. When he made it to the next floor, he was intercepted immediately.

"Hey, you did a good job in there." Asuna said, Kitass nodded.

"Thanks Asuna. You did good too. Hey, do you now which direction Ryder went in?" Kitass asked, Asuna pointed in the direction she ran off to.

"Here." Asuna said, before sending Kitass a friend request, which he did accept.

"What's this for?" Kitass asked, Asuna shrugged.

"You're good. I know you're a Beater, and you'll be useful for the next raid. This is so I can contact you." Asuna explained, Kitass nodded.

"Okay. Well, take care. Contact me whenever." Kitass said, before he walked away, Asuna waved. Kitass found an inn, and Ryder, who was cooking something in the room.

"It'll be ready soon." Ryder said, Kitass eyed her curiously.

"Are we not going to talk about the last two days?" Kitass asked, Ryder sighed. But she didn't answer his question. Just finished up the food, and set it on the table.

"Eat up. Its your favorite." Ryder said, Kitass sat down, and began eating. She joined him. "I'm sorry for snapping like that. I know it's a practical thing to do. And I know that he probably won't still be waiting for me... That's why I was so angry... But now that I think about it, he moved on... So why can't I?" Ryder asked, Kitass looked at her strangely.

"What are you talking about?" Kitass asked her, Ryder blushed.

"I think it's time we take our partnership to the next level, don't you agree? We have stayed together since the beginning, we both like each other, why not?" Ryder said, her blush growing with every word, Kitass blinks. Sure, he was attracted to Ryder, but he didn't think, or even hope she would return his feelings.

"How long have you felt this way?" Kitass asked, Ryder got angry.

"Yes, or no! It doesn't matter how long, the point is that it's there, and its real!" Ryder yelled, Kitass put his hands up in defeat.

"Okay." Kitass said, Ryder dropped her glare and just stared at him. "I mean, you are right. We do like each other. I wanted this for a long time. But I thought I could never have someone like you." Kitass admitted.

"You... You felt the same way..." Ryder said. Kitass nodded, then Ryder got angry. "And you made me say all those things! Oh, you aren't nice at all." Ryder complained. In a weak voice, Kitass smiled and got up, he took her hands.

"I'm sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" Kitass asked, Ryder sighed.

"I guess. So, what now?" Ryder asked, Kitass shrugged.

"Well, now... Does this mean... That we are in fact, dating..." Kitass asked, Ryder nodded.

"Uh, I guess..." Ryder said. Kitass smirked.

"Does that mean we can make out?" Kitass asked, and the next instant he was smacked.

"I'm not that easy. And, no. We can't." Ryder said, in finality. Kitass frowned.

"Aw, why not?" Kitass asked, with a hurt look, Ryder shook her head.

"Because, we haven't even been on a date yet. And no, before you say it, this, or our leveling sessions don't count. I mean a real date. Like a restaurant, or picnic." Ryder said.

"Okay, we'll do that tomorrow." Kitass said. Ryder smiled.

And so began Me and Ryder's relationship. It lasted a long time. We were still going strong mind you, but now things had reached a stand still, Kirito and Asuna had cleared floor 74 and things were not going well on floor 75. Given the fact that Kirito and Asuna had gone off the grid, at least for the moment. And a new problem, his name was Dethunter...

"I'm just saying." Dethunter argued. His dark blonde hair shifting as he tilted his head.

"I don't care." Kitass said in finality. Dethunter sighed, in a dramatic way.

"But, I'm gonna die!" Dethunter yelled. Kitass glared at him.

"How will you die? Ask Ridex to do it." Kitass said, he and Dethunter were doing a quest for some extra money. Kitass was planning a special surprise for their anniversary.

"I'm kinda being hunted by The Laughing Coffin!" Dethunter yelled, exasperated. Kitass stopped and glared at him.

"That's nothing to joke about dude, The Laughing Coffin is a serious murder guild, don't just yell their name. Especially when I'm pretty sure I saw the emblem on a couple players we passed." Kitass said, Dethunter's eyes widened.

"What! Are you serious!" Dethunter yelled, Kitass nodded, and motioned to his wrist.

"That's where the emblem usually is. Pay attention. But not too closely, you don't want to get caught." Kitass said, Dethunter shook his head.

"Will do, so will you help me now?" Dethunter asked, Kitass stood there thinking for a moment.

"... No, I have a date tomorrow. Its my anniversary with Ryder. That's the whole reason I invited you on this quest with me, I needed two people to do it, and Ryder would have known something was up." Kitass said, Dethunter thought for a moment.

"But won't she be notified, or at least notice the extra gold? Since your inventory is shared." Dethunter said.

"Well, we both do quests, and she knows I'm doing one right now, so... I suppose, but I also needed you to store the reward for the quest." Kitass said, Dethunter crossed his arms.

"And what do I get in return?" Dethunter asked, with a smug smile, Kitass glared at him.

"You get me saving your ass. I have a very rare cloaking item, it lasts for a whole hour. If your ever being hunted use it to escape. In return just keep the item until tomorrow, then gift it to me." Kitass explained, Dethunter thought for a moment.

"Fine... What is it?" Dethunter asked, Kitass blushed slightly.

"Well, it's a ring. A really fancy one. It gives a boost to all your stats, as well as prove my love for her." Kitass said, Dethunter sighed.

"I thought you got her a ring, and that one was given to you when you got married?" Dethunter said.

"I did. But this one is better." Kitass said simply. Dethunter nodded.

"Okay, I'll help. But you better love me for this." Dethunter said, and followed after Kitass as they set off on the quest once again. They encountered the final room shortly after and inside was a high level Chimera. Named Skar.

"Well then. That thing is big." Kitass said, Dethunter nodded.

"It looks like it can rape us." Dethunter said. Kitass nodded. He un sheathed his sword, a weapon he had crafted by a master blacksmith. It was a long sword the blade was a deep blue, and the handle was wrapped in a black cloth. With a gold hand guard.

"Then lets kick its ass!" Kitass yelled. Dethunter let out a battle cry, as he drew his large scythe, a specialization rarely mastered. Kitass ran up, and jumped over Skar, using a Sword Skill midair and slicing off the snake head the monster had for a tail, Skar screamed in pain, and stood on his hind legs, using his left paw to smash into Kitass, sending him flying into a wall.

"This is where you die!" Dethunter yelled, as he jumped into the air, and used a Sword Skill, or Scythe Skill in his case, he drove his scythe into Skar's skull, causing the monster to let out an enraged howl, as he tried to remove Dethunter and the Scythe from his skull. Kitass recovered, and seeing his opportunity while Skar was busy, he ran and jumped at Skar he embedded his sword in his chest, and yanked it downward, cutting the monster wide open, moments later it faded away. Kitass and Dethunter both gained a level.

"Nice work, Brah." Dethunter said, Kitass nodded.

"That seemed a bit too easy..." Kitass said, Dethunter laughed.

"That's right up there with, 'what could possibly go wrong?'" Dethunter said, and speak of the devil the spirit of Skar rose from the central glyph on the floor.

"Well, fuck us..." Kitass said. And the two friends prepared for a tougher fight then the last. Meanwhile on another floor, where Kitass and Ryder's house was located. At the moment Ryder was entertaining some guests, well one guest. She wasn't the nicest guest either.

"Joey, stop touching everything!" Ryder yelled, her 'friend' Joey was messing with all of her trinkets she collected with Kitass from doing quests. The blonde haired girl didn't listen, she lazily looked back at Ryder with her dark brown eyes.

"Stop being so protective, its a virtual object, its not like it can break..." Joey said, before she accidentally dropped one of the most valuable objects, and it shattered. Joey blinked several times, then looked at Ryder and smiled, Ryder was furious. "Now, before you get angry- Shit!" Joey yelled, as Ryder grabbed the largest knife she could reach and began chasing her around.

"You trouble making, good for nothing slut!" Ryder yelled, as she chased after Joey, after three trips in circles, the door opened, and Joey slammed into it, afterwards falling on her ass. Ryder caught up, as the person behind the door peered out from around it.

Rebecca Landshire, your typical spoiled, preppy, rich girl. She wasn't a bad person, she was actually very sweet, if not a little conceited at times. She meant well, had a good heart. She had her dark brown hair bound in a ponytail, and had deep blue eyes. She was truly beautiful, and she knew it. She used it to her advantage at times.

"Oh, sorry about that! Joey, you okay, girl?" Rebecca asked, before she noticed Ryder looming over the poor klutz, with a knife in hand, and a look that could kill. Rebecca got worried. "Ryder, what did Joey do?" Rebecca asked, Ryder glared at her.

"She broke one of the presents Kitass gave me!" Ryder yelled furious. "One of the first! He got it as a rare quest reward!" Ryder yelled, ready to kill Joey, but Rebecca stepped in, and gently as she could removed the knife from Ryder's hand.

"Calm down girl, she didn't mean it. She's just an irresponsible, klutz." Rebecca said, earning an angry glare from Joey.

"You rich bitch!" Joey yelled, Rebecca put her hand in front of her face.

"Yet she is lovable, and sweet." Rebecca added, Joey crossed her arms, like she was pouting.

"Damn right I'm lovable, you slut." Joey said, Rebecca glared at her.

"Stop being an ungrateful brat, I'm trying to help you!" Rebecca yelled. Joey put up her hands in mock defeat.

"Fine slut. Do your magic." Joey said, Rebecca growled at the degrading name, but didn't comment on it otherwise.

"She didn't mean to, you know how clumsy she is. And she's not the smartest, just let her go, maybe she can replace it." Rebecca suggested.

"It was a rare reward, they don't just appear out of nowhere!" Ryder yelled, just before a little window opened in front of her. It was the object that Joey shattered, gifted by Ridex. Ryder eyed it suspiciously, and accepted it, to see that it had a message with it.

"Dearest, sweetest Ryder. I got this and thought, that it was too girly for me too have, take it, I don't want to seem like a Fag for having it in my inventory." Ryder read aloud, and closed the message. She opened her inventory, and materialized the item, placing it where the other was once held. Then, calmly she turned to Joey, who was still scared.

"You are lucky that insensitive idiot saved you." Ryder said, before holding her hand out for Joey to take, which Joey did, and pulled herself up.

"You're not planning on murdering me later right?" Joey said, with a worried expression, Ryder shook her head. Then turned to Rebecca. Who was checking her inventory at the moment.

"So guys, look what I got!" Rebecca yelled, excited as she materialized a fancy looking necklace from her inventory, it was a super rare drop from a shining demon. Ryder eyed it with moderate interest, she wasn't into all the fancy jewelry, she appreciated it, but she didn't obsess like Rebecca did.

"Its beautiful! Can I have it?" Joey asked, in a greedy way, Rebecca looked at her offended, and held it close to her chest. Then started glaring at Joey.

"No! Its mine! I worked super hard for it! I'm lucky my guild master let me keep it." Rebecca said, Joey tilted her head.

"What do you mean?" Ryder asked, suspicious. Rebecca shrugged.

"Well, my guild usually has everyone put their most valuable drops into a vault to sell at the end of the month, but I begged my guild master to let me keep it, after it dropped, and he let me!" Rebecca yelled happily. "I think he might like me, because he always blushes when he sees me, or talks to me... Think I should go for it?" Rebecca asked, Ryder shrugged.

"Do whatever, I don't really care Rebecca, just be careful. But if he hurts you, I will kill him. Slowly, in a very sadistic way." Ryder said, Rebecca blinked at how forward her friend was.

"You're scary you know that?" Rebecca said, Ryder nodded. Joey agreed.

"You are pretty scary." Joey said, Ryder turned to her slowly with a dangerously dark look in her eyes. Joey's eyes widened, and she started backing away slowly. "I... I meant, very, very pretty, and perfect, and divine, and- I love you!" Joey said, cowering behind a door, Ryder grabbed the door, and slammed it shut, so Joey couldn't hide behind it.

"Joey, I want you to run. Run all the way to Ridex. I don't care how, just run, because being around that idiot is the only way you'll be safe from me hunting you down, and murdering you." Ryder said, and with every word she leans closer, and closer to her, extremely scared friend. Who ran four point two seconds after Ryder finished her speech. Rebecca blinks.

"Do you mean to be that scary all the time?" Rebecca asked, Ryder shrugged, with a smile.

"To her, yes. I like messing with her. It was also payback, because she did break one of my things that was very important to me, I'm actually glad that Ridex became friends with Kitass back on floor 55." Ryder said, Rebecca nodded.

"He's cute." Rebecca said, Ryder stopped.

"Who? The idiot, or Kitass, because one I'll beat you to death, and the other I'll beat some fucking sense into you." Ryder said, Rebecca tilted her head.

"I'm talking about Ridex, you know in that sexy warrior type, you know funny, great sword wielding guy." Rebecca said, in a dreamy way, Ryder fake gags.

"That's really fucking disturbing." Ryder said in disgust. Rebecca shrugged.

"That's only because you hate him, and I don't know why, he's so funny!" Rebecca said, Ryder shook her head.

"I don't hate him, his sense of humor is vile, he makes the most horrible 'jokes' I've ever heard." Ryder said, before she started preparing dinner.

"If you say so, why are you making dinner?" Rebecca asked.

"Kitass just got the gold from the latest quest, and bought ingredients. I always start before he gets back, so he can eat as soon as he gets home." Ryder explained, Rebecca sighed dreamily.

"That's so romantic, I wish I had someone like that..." Rebecca trailed off, Ryder shook her head.

"Believe me, it's not all fun and games. Relationships are hard. Especially in SAO. Trust me, IRL relationships are way easier. Except when you get trapped in a game, and your stupid boyfriend isn't waiting on you, so you find someone who you actually like, but you don't even know his real name." Ryder said, Rebecca shrugged.

"You, and your sob story. What a bore, I've head it all before." Rebecca said, Ryder glared at her.

"Well, excuse me for- 'Do you accept the gifting of Crystalium Cloaking To Dethunter?'" Ryder said, glaring at the message box. She denies the request, and waits for Kitass to give her an explanation as soon as he gets home.

"What was that about?" Rebecca asked, peering over Ryder's shoulder, Ryder glared at her, and gently shoved her back.

"You know I don't like it when you do that." Ryder said, Rebecca shrugged.

"Sorry, but what was that about? What's Kitass thinking giving that item away?" Rebecca asked, Ryder shrugged.

"No idea. He better have a Damn good explanation though." Ryder said, using her dangerous, and low voice. Rebecca blinked.

"When you use that voice it just says, I'm a sociopath!" Rebecca said, Ryder glared at her.

"You don't have to stay in my house you know. There are inns you can stay in." Ryder threatened. Rebecca put up her hands in defeat.

"I'm sorry! I'll go up to my room, can you call me back down when Kitass gets home? Because I know you, that's when you always serve the food." Rebecca said, before she bounded off, upstairs to her room.

"Preppy, energetic... Bi-" Ryder is interrupted by the door slamming open, and the other idiot walking through, Dethunter, followed by Kitass.

"I'm just saying I'm a Beater too!" Dethunter said, Kitass shook his head.

"And I'm just saying using logic, something you obviously don't have, that you have to had participated n the Beta Test of SAO and been among the people to get to floor ten or a floor or two lower to be considered a Beater." Kitass said, Dethunter shook his head.

"I did get the game a day before release." Dethunter complained.

"And it wasn't even online at the time. I've technically had it since the Beta, its just been offline." Kitass said, Dethunter shrugged.

"I managed to play it." Dethunter said blankly, as he caught Ryder glaring at him, and Kitass, who was about to say something but Dethunter hit him, Kitass followed his gaze to see his very angry 'wife' glaring daggers at the two of them.

"Hey, babe, uh... What's wrong?" Kitass asked, slightly scared. Ryder shifted on her feet, and put her hands on her hips, like she always did when he was in trouble.

"Why did you try and gift our cloaking crystal to Dethunter?" Ryder asks him, Kitass scratches the back of his neck.

"I kinda lost a bet. I'm sorry." Kitass said, Ryder sighed. Then opened her inventory, and gifted the cloaking crystal to Dethunter, Kitass gave it the okay.

"You're lucky I love you. So, your main punishment is going to get Rebecca. Dethunter, are you staying?" Ryder asked, as Kitass walked upstairs to get Rebecca for dinner. Dethunter shrugged. He grabbed the door handle, getting ready to leave.

"No, I really got to get going. Gotta beg for some help. I'll see you around though Ryder." Dethunter said, before he left, hastily. Ryder shrugged and placed her finished meals on the table.

Things were looking up in SAO. Despite the circumstances, and against all odds they had found each other. Kitass, Ryder, Ridex, Dethunter, Joey, and Rebecca. They would make sure they all made it back to the real world alive... Hopefully.

There you guys have it. Anyway like I said at the beginning of the chapter, I will pace them in a different then usual way. Kitass narrated the time skips and shit in this chapter, so next chapter will be from Ryder's narration. If you liked what you read here, or even didn't leave a review. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, follow, favorite if you want.
