Hello People, welcome to my story, I know you have your choice of fanfics so I'm glad you pick mine. But before you read, I'll give you the setting and junk. This takes place after the anime, boom done. I'm sorry if I'm force feeding you the facts.
"Hah take that" Kirito said as he slashed the mutant mushroom skeleton with his golden sword.
"Hey save some for me, I need to level up my hammer skills" Klein said exhausted from running and using heavy attacks.
"Yeah, you can't keep taking all the kills, the rest of us still need to level up too", Simon commented cheerfully as it was just a harmless statement
Kirito sat there just exhaling trying to take in all the "insults" at once. He knew they were kidding, but he thought it was a friendly thing.
"Well anyways, Asuna could you heal me I'm looking a bit low." said Kirito with a hand gesture that said to hurry.
Asuna was just about to say the incantation when a man appeared from the grass; He seemed to be a old looking fellow in a black but somehow also green cloak.
"Well hello there, which one of you is Asuna" asked the man with a warm and sunny smile on his face.
"Oh I have heard of these, they just came out in the newest update; Your family writes a message to tell you something and a npc delivers it in-game." Klein told the group as Asuna raises
her hand.
As the traveler walked over he handed the girl a white yet old looking piece of paper.
"Woah that's so cool, it really gives you vibe of the game", said everyone more or less the same.
As Asuna opened the parchment she gasped and had a concerned look on her face. She had received some concerning news.
"What is it!" Kirito aggressively asked fearing for Asuna's security, as if he were his child.
"I have to go, bye everyone" Asuna said with a depressed face as she logged out and the words A PLAYER HAS LEFT THE PARTY echoed on each players screen.
Everyone felt uneasy, this hasn't really happened before. A member of their group disconnecting so sudden.
"Daddy, is Mommy gonna be ok?" asked Yui with a scared look on her face. She was frightened for the safety of one of her caretakers.
Kirito, caught off guard by the question, paused and didn't know what to say.
"I, um… yeah, Mommy's gonna be just fine, I hope stammered Kirito while holding one hand on the back of his head.
~=Meanwhile in the real world=~
Asuna laying on her bed, taking the AmuSphere off her head, leaving her hair messed up and uneven.
She saw her mother sitting next to her and the foot of the bed. Wearing her usual face of indifference. But this time it was different, Asuna saw something was wrong on this situation.
"Yukki, I have thought about it for some time now. I think you should spend a little more time in the real world. I know everything has been hard on you for a while; that's why I'm sending you away to boarding school." Asuna's Mother told her.
Tears start to manifest in Asuna's eyes, but the overwhelming sadness was canceled out by her anger.
"Why can't you just let me be happy with my life" Asuna yelled at her mother, giving her a look of disbelief and disappointment.
"The decision is final, there will be no change. Your leaving in one month. Say your goodbyes and pack your things" said Asuna's mother with a sigh while she got up and left the room.
Yukki just started to cry, she felt nothing else to do. In her moment of sadness and anger Asuna threw her AmuSphere in the ground, fracturing the screen.
The only thing she could do was lay in her bed. Crying herself to sleep.
~=The Next Day=~
As the whole gang meets at the dicey café, Asuna walks in and a smile invades everyone's face, Except herself.
As those smiles turn to frowns she walks to the bar. Everyone staring at her, she could see the pity overflowing from their faces.
"I'm leaving in a month, possibly for a couple years" said Asuna, the words sliding out of her mouth.
Everyone gasping with disbelief, Klein falling out of his chair.
"What's happened, are you alright" asked Kirito leaning in while staring at Asuna. Rage mixed with pity and shock.
"I'm going away to boarding school, it's in my best interest. And Kirito; I want to speak with you in private" Asuna said with sadness, everyone knew she was defeated.
Kirito stood their, unable to move. He had begun to think about everything they've been together. And some school was going to take it away.
Asuna grabbing his arm pulling him to a back room.
"Before I say this, I just want you to know that you are a good friend. And I just want us to be friends now. I just want to be two normal people." said Asuna while she looked at the ground.
Kirito stared at her, overtaken by his anger and disbelief. He couldn't grasp the situation he was stuck in. Then, all of a sudden his face just went blank.
"I just can't believe it, after all we have been through. I guess this is how you repay me" Kirito spoke, words like daggers piercing her heart.
"Well I guess you won't care if I leave" Kirito said as he charged out of the room and out of the cafè. Getting of his motorcycle as Asuna stuck her hand out of the door, but she already knew. She lost him.
Boom, I hope you liked it. Thanks for reading
