Kirito point of view

I stood up slightly, glancing around at all the trees surrounding the clearing where I would lounge in the sun whenever I had the time.. I then proceeded to stretch in what was very much the norm for fairies like me, the cait syth. I then stood up and began walking through the massive crowd in front of me. It was hard being among the few cait syths with black hair and black fur on my tail and ears. It didn't help that i was a mere 5 foot 3 inches.

'can't be helped' I thought resentfully.

People actually let him through very quickly seeing who he was. He was no noble, far from it, he was a mix. Not by much, but it was still there. Four generations ago, as he had been told, a young cait syth married a spriggan. However, it had apparently not been shown since all the descendants had had varying shades of brown or even one with white fur. Except him.

'the universe obviously hates me.' was all I had time to think before being knocked down.

"What is a little fella like you doing right know" It was one of the guards. Again.

'Obviously a new recruit.' Since i was unlucky enough to have the black fur and hair(although i had started to like color) gaurds often thought I was a disguised spriggan using ilusion magic. However, the older gaurds saw me often enough to just let me pass.

"Stop right now I have done this a thousand times already." It didn't help that apparantly the only thing that wasn't passed down was height. I was a head shorter than most of the cait syth, a fact that never helped.

What was confusing was the chuckling. 'Doesn't he seem familiar'

"You really like that sun spot don't you" That was when it hit me.

'Idiot! Every third day of the week he covers this area on gaurd duty.'

He was the only one that knew my spot because, after seeing me walk off(and thinking i was a spriggan walking off to report or do something that could be bad for the city), he tailed me. However, seeing me roll around on the grasss for a moment before dosing off in the sun, he obviously knew i was cait syth. So it became a game.

"couldn't resist?" i questioned.

"Nope, since you never realize it's me!" He shouted. He was still new to the watch, otherwise he would have not shouted drawing some attention from those nearby.

He was at about 5 foot 11 inches and had rather broud shoulders with an eversmiling face coupled with mottled-colored fur.

Seeing the attention, he quickly set me down and let me scamper off.

' Shame things are like this for him...' was all the guard thought as the flicking black tail disappeared from sight.

'i'm going to be so late' was the only thought on my mind.

"bye!" I shouted as I dashed in, grabbed my new sword and dashing for the do-

I was hugged straight out of full speed, my feet flying up but not falling because of my mother's hug.

"Stay safe" she whispered.

"Got it. Going now!" I shouted running out before my mom could say anything else.

I glanced at my sword. When hearing how I would be training to be in the attack and defense forces she had gotten the sword for me from a passing leprechaun blacksmith. It was black, to match my fur, and otherwise looked like a normal sword one would expect. It was styled to be a single-handed sword with a simple two sided straight blade. It didn't need to be anything spectacular. After all, I was going with the other eleven kids from my age group that signeed up to hunt the low-caliber animals left behind by some patrols.

At the age of fifteen kids would choose to continue to stay iin school on a scholarly bookworm path, pick up a trade(blacksmithing, mass taming, etc.), or join the fighting forces. Not many joined the fighting forces due to the fact that not many were needed. With the races momentarily at peace due to a treaty, All they did now was hunt monsters(mobs for short) and stand gaurd.

'Not a very boring job at all..'

hmpth! was the sound as i felt something hit my stomach ending me stumbling.

I looked up slowly, know what I would see. Only one person did things like this to me.

"what do you want."

"What are doing here? i thought they didn't allow wimps in to positions were they would die in seconds. But hey, I guess i was wrong." Kibaou snorted out.

Kibaou was at around 5 foot 7 inches and even alittle pudgy with his orange fur.

"Leave him alone" We both slowly turned their heads.

"Alicia, stay out of this. Pretty girls like you shouldn't be near him. It's bad enough with that Argo girl but you too?" Even I was surprised at this.

Alicia came from a well off family and was the only fairy shorter than me in our class, and even then it wasn't by much. She was also considered the cutest girl at our entire school.

Alicia was short, at 5 foot .000001 inches tall. She had nice, golden hair and a slim figure. Coupled with the semi-exposing clothing that everyone believed was for showing off but noone would tell.

" You can't just be mean to people like that kibaou, it's not nice, and ""Kii-bouoooo"

'Oh no'

I stumbled froward at the weight suddenly on my back before falling over gtting a face full of dirt.

"Argo" i said as well as i could with my face being in the dirt.

"Yes, Kii-bou?" she asked glancing down at me while leaning over to where i could see her face.

Argo was at 5 foot 7 inches and had curly auburn hair and fur to match it. She also loved teasing me.

"could you please get off" i said quickly.

"Since kii-bou asked i shall" she said while purring rather loudly, jumping off of me. I paused to say something about randomly jumping on m back whe i heard a familiar voice.

"Well since i'm tthe lowest on the totem pole i get you all for the next hour."

I slowly turned.'that is it. i am obviously the universe's laughing stock' was my thoughts as I turned to see an all-too-familiar gaurd's face.

"Kirito!" he shouted surprised to see me here."I can say im quite surprised. With the amount of time you spend in that hidden sunny clearing of yours i thought you hadn't even chosen a role section!"

At this time both argo and alicia glanced over at me, argo's look questioning and alicia's curious.

"Well that runs my chance of me avoiding everyone for peaceful afternoon ever again, thank you very much," I practicallly hissed just loud enough for everyone to hear. So far everytime i found a spot i would wake up to find argo either napping next to me or on me. Except for my newest one, which i plan to savor for as long as i could. Really, why would argo even do that?

He gave me that same happy smile and said the only thing that could make it worse.

"Kirito which one is your girlfriend?"

At that moment i blushed to the point of no return. But that was the least of my concerns as both of them shifted their position so they could stare at me as punching holes through my soul. At that moment, i knew true fear.

"Well, look at the time,... i thing i need to get home before my mom starts to worry." After that hurried save i sprinted off with my tail between my legs, not daring to look back for fear of that stare.

next day

I knew that come afternoon i wold be subjected to the same thing, but hopefully with a different ending. Therefore, i'm currently heading to my nice little clearing so i can rest and think before then.

'maybe even get a nice little catnap while i... stupid, idiotic, -grumble,grumble-'

There, right in my little clearing, was alicia and argo. Even i knew not to get involved, Especially since i could tell they were yelling.

"... why would you think that?!"

"well, it is obvious. Afterall, i don't even try to seduce him and i'm winning."

"Seduce him?! i would never"

"Oh really, just look at your clothes."

By this point, i was confused. Greatly. So i stepped in.

"ummm, what are you all doing in my clearing, and who are you all talking about?"

'the dense idiot' was the thought going through both girls mind as they blushed.

That, of course, olly lasted a second as i was swiftly tackled by argo while she shouted "Ki-bou!"

"Argo, can you please get off."

"Sure!" she shouted hurriedly.

"Now, what are you all doing here?

'Well, i was waiting on you, ki-bou, what else could i be doing?"

Sighing, i just walked past the two to lay down on the rock. That is, until i noticed someone laying down next to me.

"What are you doing?"

"Keeping ki-bou company."

"Why?"

"Because it's ki-bou!"

At this point i notice alicia scampering off but don't think about it bbeause i'm starting to dose off in the sun.

...

Yaaaawwwnnnn

"Argo, what are you doing?"

"nothing." BY this point argo was laying there with her head on my chest looking at me.

"Well, it is time to get going."

"On it, ki-bou." With that she scampered off quickly.

"What is up with those two recently..." Was the beginnings of me mumbling while i start on the way to get my sword.

Later

"Okay, everyone, lets all get into thee same group as ysterday and get a move on."

'This is odd.' was all i could think as some people sent looks my way while i walked.

An hour later

"Those wolves were hard and very annoying..." I muttered.

"Definitly" Was what they both said exhausted.

THen a slight tremor shook the area.

Then another.

Then another.

Then they saw it.

The alpha wolf

The size of a smalll tree these wolves were extremely rare these days since the patrols prioratised killing them a while ago. About the size of a small-ish tree they could easily knock someone out in one blow.

"Everyone get back, i'll hold it off for you all to get to the city!" THe gaurd quickly yelled.
