Arigato, Sayonara.

Those two words were the last ones I said before my death in SAO. It's been a fun life so far. Me and my friends buying and playing the game and becoming closer than ever before. Though I was scared at first I thought that I could become a stronger person and eventually make the others not have to protect me every day.

Then Kirito came and saved us. He swooped in like batman, clothed in black, and killed all the monsters right before they would kill us. We took him to the tavern and had a celebration in his honor. It took some poking, prodding, and persuasion in order to get him to join our guild but by the end of the meal he was officially a black cat.

We had plenty of adventures and life changing moments including a nice heart to heart chat under the bridge. After that night I learned that he wasn't just a regular player like us but that he had the skill and level to be a front line player. I felt much safer with him protecting the rest of us.

When Keita went to buy our guild house for all of us to live in, Ducker decided that the rest of us should go out and raise some money. We went to one of the dungeons that had already been cleared by the clearers. Ducker found a hidden room with a chest. Right before he opened it I could hear Kirito try to stop him but it was too late. Ducker had opened up the chest and a horde of monsters spawned in the room. The door had closed behind us and we couldn't use our teleport crystals.

We fought as hard as we could but one by one we all fell. I could see Kirito was clearing a bunch out of the way so I tried to go to him. But a scythe caught me in the back. I knew that I was going to die but I was happy. I had so many friends and I met and friended Kirito. My Christmas message should get to him to Christmas night.

"Arigato, Sayonara." I told him as I disappeared in a flash of polygons.

I appeared in a dark room. I was all alone and it was so cold. Suddenly giant numbers appeared before me.

What do these numbers mean?

Why are they counting down?

What's going to happen when it reaches zero?

I'm ready to go on.

My only regret…

Was not being able to tell Kirito...

How I feel about him!

When it hit zero my brain began to have the worst head ache of my life. The pain was terrible yet I was able to deal with this pain. I could survive through this pain. But it became progressively worse and worse until I could no longer help it. I could only see black.
