HEY GUYS. SECOND CHAPTER. I DON'T OWN SAO OR ALO. ON WITH THE STORY.


"Link Start!" Jaxson spoke, the Amusphere going through the start up. Everything was okay, and he entered ALO as Yuki.

"Sweet. I hope Misaki is on soon. It's already fourteen ten. I guess I could go and battle mobs while I wait for her," Yuki figured, turning around accidentally bumping into someone, knocking them both over.

"Déjà vu," Yuki whispered to himself, noticing the person he bumped into.

"Well hello there," the person replied, turning around to see Yuki on the ground, offering him a hand so he could get up easily.

Yuki simply jumped backwards to his hands, and pushed up, sending him over the male's head, landing behind him. "I can handle the basic movements and fighting," Yuki spoke, using the combination voice so he sounded feminine.

"A smart girl. You are a girl, right?" the male asked.

"Nope. I'm a male," Yuki informed, using his real voice.

"Damn it. I was so hoping I met a girl for once," the male admitted, his cat ears dropping.

"I'm Yuki. And you are?" Yuki introduced, holding his hand out for a handshake.

"Cryptic. I specialize in ice magic. Best kind there is," the male spoke, introducing himself. Cryptic was a Cat Sith obviously with blue hair and blue eyes. He had a dagger on his belt, and his clothes, well, they were blue and white. He didn't have any tamed monster out, only because he didn't have one.

"Do you know anywhere where I could tame a small winged dragon in thirty minutes or less?" Yuki asked.

"Yeah, just to the north. Do you want me to take you there?" Cryptic asked, blue wings forming.

"Yes. Also, how do you tame a winged dragon?" Yuki asked, white wings forming, taking to the skies, following Cryptic.

"It's easy. You might want this. Makes things easier," Cryptic yelled over the fast speed they were going at, sending Yuki an item.

"An ocarina? I used to play one! This should be easy for me!" Yuki called back, thanking Cryptic in his own way.

"I would rather tame a Dark Wolf, which I heard was coming out sometime in the near future. Also, I have these Viper Twin Blades. I'm a single hand swordsman, and since you haven't trained in any type of weapon yet. First day I see," Cryptic informed, giving Yuki the sword set.

"These aren't Viper Twin Blades," Yuki spoke, landing next to Cryptic.

"That's the real world name for the swords. I insist you take those. I wouldn't be caught dead with dual swords. And usually dual swords are more of a Spriggan thing. I'd rather stick with my black bolo machete," Cryptic explained, Yuki taking the dual swords, equipping them.

"So, how do I tame a dragon?" Yuki asked, adjusting how the sword sheaths were positioned, making them to his liking: the longer one on his back, and the shorter one at his waist.

"It's easy. Just do as I tell you," Cryptic informed, pointing at a small white scaled dragon. "That's a rare colour for those, but pretty easy to tame."

/-Thirty Five Minutes Later-/

"Who's a good boy?" Yuki asked, playing with his new dragon.

"It's now two forty. You want to head back now?" Cryptic asked, sick of watching Yuki play with his dragon which was named Jaxson.

"SHIT! I NEED TO GET BACK NOW!" Yuki practically screamed, taking flight. He headed south bound, Jaxson keeping up with Yuki. Yuki saw the pink-haired girl from yesterday and made her wings disappear, landing next to her.

"There you are. So, what kept you?" Misaki asked, Jaxson landing on Yuki's shoulder.

"This," Yuki answered, petting his dragon. "His name is Jaxson."

"Not the best dragon to have, but a Snowy Wyvern is good in casting spells, especially healing ones," Misaki informed.

"Hey! Yuki! Wait!" Cryptic yelled, face planting.

"Please tell me you didn't let him help you," Misaki asked.

"Is there a problem?" Yuki asked Misaki.

"You left the ocarina back there," Cryptic informed.

"I know. I left it there on purpose. Someone else could use it," Yuki corrected.

"So, want to form a guild?" Yuki asked Misaki.

"First, PK this guy so he will leave you alone," Misaki ordered.

"Do I have to?" Yuki asked, Misaki glaring at him. "Fine."

Yuki drew the swords, and sliced Cryptic's neck with his longer sword. Then, with the shorter sword, Yuki stabbed Cryptic's face, turning him into a small flame.

"What is that?" Yuki asked Misaki.

"Just leave before he regain's consciousness. I'm also going to give you this warning: as long as you are my slave, you do what I say without question. Otherwise, I'll leave you high and dry, and you can figure out how to finish up," Misaki warned, knowing Yuki would now do anything she wanted.

"Under one condition: you treat me like a slave," Yuki requested.

"So you can get off? As if," Misaki declined. "So, where do you want to go?" Misaki looked at where Yuki was, and saw a dust cloud in the shape of Yuki realizing that he ran. Again.

"This time, I got a dragon on my side!" Yuki yelled, heading south.

"Not again you sick bastard," Misaki growled, chasing after Yuki, who darted above the clouds as she got closer, making a sudden change in direction flawlessly.

Once above the clouds, Yuki stopped, finally where he wanted to be. Misaki broke through the cloud skyline a few meters in front of Yuki, and saw that he was actually staying still.

"Why are you just standing there?" Misaki asked Yuki, who put his hand up, signaling for her to be quiet.

"The sound of music being played. I'd recognize that song from anywhere. That's Midna's Lament. Where is it?" Yuki questioned, letting the sound reach his ears, Misaki actually taking the time to look at him. Not with hate or lust, just looking at Yuki.

'Did I really want to be mean to his person?' Misaki questioned, hearing the music now.

"Violin, grand piano, a harp, one ocarina, traditional 12 hole, and vocals harmonizing with it all," Yuki sighed, smiling. "It's in the Sylph territory. Follow me!"

Yuki rushed passed Misaki grabbing her wrist, dragging her on a face paced flight towards the music.

'He's really nice. Wait, what am I thinking? Men are just pigs looking for a one night stand. But, somehow, Yuki is different,' Misaki thought to herself, blushing as they landed next to a pub, the song ending much to Yuki's dismay.

"Dang it. We missed it. Sorry. I heard it, and I can hear the exact location when a place is quiet. I wanted you to hear the entire thing. I'm sorry you couldn't hear it all," Yuki apologized.

"W-whatever," Misaki blushed, Yuki showing her a whole different side of men that she never saw before. Yuki had his head hung, sitting against the outer wall, feeling really terrible that his friend couldn't hear a song that he hoped she would like. Misaki couldn't stand to see him down.

"Look, is there anything you want to do?" Misaki asked, finding herself helping Yuki feel better.

"Nah. It's okay. It wasn't your fault. I wasn't fast enough to get us here earlier. Hopefully we can meet each other in Japan so you can hear it then. I hope it is something you like, since it seems like you," Yuki answered, smiling.

"Look, is there anything you want to do? Anything at all?" Misaki asked.

"Is there a place where people won't see us, or hear us?" Yuki asked, still sitting on the ground.

"This way," Misaki said, guiding Yuki to a secluded place that was in neutral territory where no one went.

Yuki was just standing, silently crying, facing away from Misaki.

"Are you alright Yuki?" Misaki asked, Yuki suddenly turning around to hug her, now being heard crying by Misaki. "What's wrong Jaxson?"

"Sorry. I just have a lot I'm dealing with. I've been trying to open up more, but people still get hurt. I want to end it, but I simply can't. I'm a coward who's unable to hurt themselves, and if I were to do so, that would also be cowardly. Please don't leave me alone. I can't take it anymore," Yuki cried into Misaki's shoulder, "I've been abandoned by both parents and most people that used to be friends because I'm a furry, and I can't bear the pain anymore. Please. Please save me."

"Everything's going to be okay. I won't leave you," Misaki whispered into Yuki's ears, still crying.

'Is this the same person who was online yesterday? He seems more mature, yet at the same time, he's so young. Could this be the real Jaxson?' Misaki noticed, beginning to cry herself.

Yuki was now out of tears, and noticed the time. On his side, it was 16:06. Using his knowledge of time zones, he deducted that it was around 21:06 where Misaki was. "Don't you have homework? I could help you if you want," Yuki offered, wiping away his tears.

"I could use some company while working, but tomorrow. It's getting late here," Misaki replied, accepting his offer.

"From now on, we'll meet at three p.m. your time. I know that is late for me, but I want to see you," Yuki said.

"It's okay. Two p.m. over where you are is seven p.m. for me. I'll meet you every day at seven my time, okay?" Misaki offered, opening up to Yuki after he had just cried his heart out to her.

"Okay. I'll logout for now. We should probably head into an inn to log out there," Yuki smiled, hiding the monster that lurked inside of him.

/-Sapporo Hokkaido, Japan, 21:10-/

A young girl opened her eyes seeing through the Amusphere, sighing. The girl had just helped a friend slightly with their problem. This girl was 16, with long black hair, 75 centimeters. Her eyes were emerald and her hair was parted in three ways: one section in the back, and two sections in the front in each side of her shoulders. She currently had on a shirt and undergarments, not caring if someone walked in, since the door was locked. She sighed, again, removing the Amusphere from her head.

"Yuki. I'll be there for you," Haruko "Misaki" Kobayashi swore, making sure that her new friend would be alright.
