"Ready?"
Sakuya was dropping me off a self help group. All yesterday I tried to remember, I tried everything, but nothing worked. All I could see was a flash of chestnut orange hair. Who were they?
I didn't want to go here. Everyone from this area that was in the game was in there. I was afraid I wouldn't remember anything, that I would just stand there, with a group of people I didn't even remember. But I was more afraid that I would remember something terrible.
"Do I have to go?" I asked. I wasn't a fearful person, I never act like this, but that game, all that time wasted had change my perspective. All that time wasted and I don't even remember it. Thousands had died in it but I had some how survived. It wasn't fair.
"Yes. You do." She reached across me and pushed open the door. " Go have fun." she gave me a smile. I was glad to have her. If I didn't have her, I don't know what I would of done.
People were still entering. Most of them were guys, my age or older. Some of them looked just as awkward as me, but others looked excited, like they might actually remember. The doctors said that they don't know what happen to the memory. Either were trying to push it out of our mind, and forget, or something like that. There were more girls there than I suspected. I didn't know that many pretty girls played.
I was about to catch a cab when I saw it. A flash of chestnut orange hair. They were here. I ran up the step, wanting to see them, find out who they are, to see if I could remember. But I was too later. When I opened the door there were hundreds of people here. Everyone had name tags. I saw some guy trying to convince a guy that they were married in the game. She had a disgusted look on her face and walked away. She had pink hair. Where did I know her from?
"No one here looks familiar to me either," said a man besides me. He looked 21 sh. A tall black man. He also looked familiar. Was I just tricking myself that I knew all these people, trying to make myself cope?
"I'm Kazuto, but you can call me Kirito," I held out my hand.
"Nice to me you kid. Agil's the name." he shook my hand. "Do I know you? You look familiar." I was about to answer, to tell him yes, to finally have some memory, when he just laughed it off," Na. Everyone here looks familiar."
Great.
After a while, and talking to a bunch of people, I saw a small group of boys surrounding something. Or someone. All I could see that it was the chestnut color hair person. For some reason, my heart started to pound inside my chest. Who were they? And for some reason my blood boiled at the fact that all those boys were there instead of me. Please let that person be a girl.
"Hey," someone yelled from the group, " Where did she go."
The group separated and she was gone. Signing, I walked over to the food table to grab something. Then I saw her. Across the room, hiding in the shadows was her. She looked so familiar. Her long chestnut colored hair glimmered and glistened. She look scared. The group of guys must of scared her. Then she saw me looking, and I immediately looked away, felling my face turn read. But, instead of looking away, I looked at her again. She looked so familiar and it was driving me crazy. I'm about to walk up to her when I here a voice from behind me.
"Kazuto!." It was Sakuya.
I turned back to see the girl but she was already gone.
...
"Why are they having school on the same day as the self help group," I asked.
"Because its on the next floor and its more easier." Sakuya explained," Now go. I'll pick you up in two hours."
After meeting- or re-meeting- everyone from the game, we were to head to the class rooms. Missing two years of school was alot. Some people even forgot things that they learned weeks before they went into SAO. Its weird to even think about. I know so much must have happened. How did we get out? But the one problem, one question was still there, coming up to remind me every time I forgot; Who was she?
"Nah,I'll just get a cab. I need some alone time." It was nice to have Sakuya around, but she worried to much.
"Okay."
I walked and took a set in the back. Some people, maybe 5 or 6 were in there. I waited in the back as kids began to flood into the room. My mind drifted else where. I looked out the window, watching the sun set. I was trying to remember my missed time when all of a sudden I felt like I was shift into another body. It was a memory.
I was in the sky. There were cloud below me. I looked down at my hands. How was I alive? I thought he killed me? He did. It was game over. But how am I still here?
"Where am I," I whispered. The sun was burning bright in front of me.
I check my menu. It said ' Initiating Final Phase: 54%'
"Kirito," said a small voice behind me. I knew who it was . It was my wife, my true love, the mother of Yui. I turned around to see her face and-
The bell rung, shaking me out of my memory. It was... I didn't get to see there face. Who was that? My wife? I was married? My true love? Who's Yui? Instead of making things easier on my self, instead of answering any questions, all it did was make me have more.
"Is this spot taken," said a voice beside. I whirled my head around to see the chestnut haired girl from before.
"N-no," I stumbled. She gave me a weird look." No." I said more clearly.
Before I could say anything else, the door was slammed shut and the teacher walked in. "Nice to meet you all. I'm Emi Hiato. I will be your teacher. Also, I hope you picked a set next to someone you like, because you'll be sitting there for the rest of the year, so I would like you to introduce yourself to them."
I looked over at her and smile.
"I'm Kirito," I held out my hand
"I'm Asuna."
