:::April 18th 2024 Agil's apartment above his shop:::
Agil was staring at the news reports about Kirito's basically solo fight with the Gleam eyes the boss from the floor 70 dungeon.
"A blue demon that nearly wiped out a whole squadron of army guys, is defeated by a dual wielding swordsman with a 50 hit combo, oh man Kirito what have you gotten into ." Agil asked as he laughed a little whit Silica chuckling off to the side.
"That is not even how it happened, still I got swordsmen and info brokers nearly knocking my door down for this, hell the only one not harassing me about this is Argo." Kirito states as he sulks.
Liz walks in carrying a box of goods.
"This is your fault Kirito you said it would be our little secret but you had to go and show it off." Liz stated with a smile on her face.
Kirito looks over to the last person sitting in the room hoping to get some support from her.
"Don't look at me Kirito-Kun I still think you're a reckless idiot for nearly getting yourself killed like that." Asuna replied while slightly glaring at him.
At this point Silica popped her head up and Glared at Kirito. "Yeah Kirito-Niichan you promised me that you would not do something so reckless like almost die." She said to him still glaring at him.
He threw his hands up. "Hey hey it's not all my fault Silica Asuna ran in first." He said in his defense.
Asuna then looked down at the ground with a little bit of sadness due to her promise to Silica to not Kirito do anything reckless.
"Silica-Chan sorry I know I promised that." She started to say only to have Silica interrupt her.
"Neh its ok Asuna-Nechan at least you all came back alive." Silica said with a smile on her face.
At this point Kirito turned to look at Asuna. "Hey Asuna what did Heathcliff say about you taking a leave of absence?" Kirito asked.
"At the moment I have a few days he wants me to report back by the end of the week, I will take what I can get at this point." Asuna stated.
Liz laughed a little. "Well at least he was nice enough to do that, has he done anything about that Kuradeel guy making a fool of him-self in front of all those people when he dueled Kirito?" Liz asked having seen the news reports of a top fighter in the Knights of the Blood oath embarrassing himself in the floor 70 town.
Asuna just shook her head as Agil laughed. "I can't believe he even challenged you Kirito your like 10 to 15 levels above him." Agil sated as he laughed.
They all talked a little more before it was time for Agil to open his shop when all of a sudden they hear someone banging on the front door.
"I'm coming hold on to your sword." Agil says as he walks to the door thinking it's someone looking to hound Kirito.
To their surprise when he opens the door the person falls to the floor with only about 100 hit points left.
"Kami-Sama that is Argo-san!" Silica yells out as she runs to her and pulls out a healing crystal.
She uses it on Argo bringing her health back to full though she still looks beaten up and her gear is torn.
"Kirito get her into a bed upstairs man, Silica can you run and get her some water." Agil states as Kirito picks her up and carries her upstairs while Silica runs to the sink to get water for Argo.
Kirito lays her down as Asuna and Liz walk with Silica and they shoo Kirito and Agil out of the room.
"Now go boys we are gonna help her get changed and I doubt Argo-san wants you two to see her undressed." Liz says as she helps push the two men out the door.
Kirito, Asuna, Lisbeth, Silica and Agil are sitting downstairs having also been joined by Klein and a couple members of his guild discussing what might have happened.
As they are talking Argo has come downstairs to see them all sitting there and her only in her shorts and t-shirt that she slept in blushes a little.
"Argo-San I am glad to see you awake are you ok?" Silica asks her.
Argo nodded that she was but had a depressed look on her face.
Agil motioned for her to sit with them and asked her what had happened as she sat with them.
"I don't even know where to begin, Kami-Sama." She said as she started to cry a little.
This caught Kirito by surprise he had always seen her so composed or joking, this was a new side of her he has never seen.
Asuna started to rub her back. "It's ok Argo we are here for you just tell us what happened so we can help you." Asuna said to her soothingly.
"Arigatō Asu-Chan, Anyway me and a close friend and fellow info broker Saya where hired by Lind of the Divine Dragon Alliance and Heathcliff of the Knights of the Blood Oath to meet with two members of Laughing Coffin to try and broker a peace with them." Argo stated.
"When we got there, we saw PoH there leader and another with a black mask over his face standing there, we started to relay the message when all of a sudden we were hit with throwing picks and fell to the ground paralyzed."She continued to say.
"That is when more of their members appeared out from behind the trees, they started laughing at us PoH asked what they should do with us, that is when the red eyed one licked his lips and started cackling, he said that they should have their fun with the two of us before killing us." She said as tears came down her eyes causing her whisker makeup to smudge.
Asuna sat there rubbing her back trying to support her.
"They used our own hands to open our menu's and shut the moral code off for us, they then started to remove our gear or just tear at the pieces to wear there durability down that was when they, they." Argo tried to choke out.
"Argo you don't have to finish that part we get the idea what happened after that?" Kirito said as he grabbed his friend's hands.
Argo started crying more. "Ki-Bo they violated me and her they took turns then they stabbed Saya till her hp hit zero, at that point I just raged and kicked the one on top of me and took off running till I got to a safe zone and teleported here, Kami-sama they killed her Ki-Bou they took her from me." She stated as she started crying even more, Asuna then enveloped her in a hug.
"It's ok Argo we will be here for you we will protect you." Asuna said as everyone there nodded and voiced their agreement to that.
After a few minutes of crying Argo had fallen back to sleep in Asuna arms, Agil carried her back up stairs and placed her in the bed for her to rest, he walked back down the stairs to hear a large band and the ping of the sign for immortal object popping up on the wall.
Kirito was standing there hitting the wall over and over again. "This needs to end, they cannot get away with this anymore." Kirito said seething with anger.
"Yo Kirito while I agree with you, both you and Argo seem very upset on this Saya girl that died?" Klein asked.
Kirito looked up at him with a hint of sadness. "Argo and Saya know each other IRL they are best friends from what Argo has told me and have been since they were only 3." Kirito explained.
"I am not the only one that agrees with Kirito, I just got a message from commander Heathcliff that they are calling for a clearer meeting to determine what to do about Laughing Coffin the meeting is in 1 hour at Knights HQ." Asuna states.
Agil, Kirito, Klein and his guild members as well as Asuna get up to head to the meeting, Agil turns to Liz and Silica.
"Would you two mind watching the store and Argo while we are gone?" He asked them.
Liz nodded stating she would focus on the store while Silica who knew Argo better would take care of her.
"Kirito-Niichan please be careful." Silica says as Kirito nods.
"Don't worry Silica this is just a meeting." Kirito says to her as he heads out to the teleport gate.
::: floor 55 town of Granzam KotB HQ meeting room:::
Heathcliff and Lind where standing in front of a board with pictures of the leadership of Laughing Coffin, to their sides on the left was Klein representing his guild and Thinker representing the Army on the right.
In the crowd were about 50 players from the three clearer guilds and the army who ran the prison on the first floor where they would send the Laughing Coffin members after their capture.
Everyone listened intently as the plan was discussed Godfree would lead one group of 25 players consisting of himself, Asuna and Kirito helping to lead with all the members of Fuurinkazan, and a few members of the Knights and DDA.
Though one member of the Knights that was in there group that caught his attention was Kuradeel who had approached him and apologized for his actions that day in the town and Kirito accepted it.
At the end of the meeting which took 3 hours Heathcliff would with Lind would be leading the second group into their base told everyone to get some rest they would meet at the teleport gate on floor 35 the next day at noon and proceed with the operation.
Asuna, Klein, Agil and Kirito headed back to Agil's shop to plan for the next day.
:::April 19th 2024 11:00 A.M. Agil's shop:::
They had all decided to meet at Agil's shop before heading off to the teleport gate.
Kirito, Asuna, Lisbeth, Agil, Klein, Silica and Argo where all in the front of the shop, Argo was still hurting over the loss of her friend looked up at them.
"Ki-Bo promise me you and Asu-Chan will come back from this, other than Saya you two are my closest friends in here." She says with some sadness on her face.
Asuna walked up to her and hugged her. "I promise Argo-Nechan we will come back." Asuna stated using a suffix she used for Argo back on floor 2, this brought a slight smile to Argo's face.
Kirito placed his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry I'm your best customer so you know I will be back." He said with a smile on his face only to earn 3 slaps to the back of his head from Silica, Liz and Asuna.
"Ow what was that for?" He asked with a scowl on his face.
"For being so insensitive Kirito." Liz says.
"It's ok that is just Ki-Bou showing he cares." Argo says with a slight smile on her face.
"Kirito-Niichan why can't I come with you guys I'm level 65 now." Silica asks with a begging look on her face.
"Because Silica these guys are relentless and I would never forgive myself if something happened to you." He said as he patted her on the head.
She just sulked and went back into the store with Liz and Argo.
:::Teleport Gate Floor 35:::
With the arrival of Heathcliff everyone was now assembled Heathcliff turned towards the group.
"Now remember fight to disable only use deadly force if necessary once you have disabled a group use the corridor crystal's each member of your team has to transport them to the Black Iron Prison where Thinkers men will lock them up." Heathcliff explained as every acknowledged his orders and they split off into the two groups.
:::Group 2 Laughing Coffin cave HQ:::
Godfree was leading his group he had Klein, Kirito and Asuna right behind him with the rest of the group following closely.
Kirito had his detection skill running to keep a look out when all of a sudden he threw a arm out to stop Klein and the other arm to grab Godfree.
He looked back at Kirito. "Scatter we have walked into a trap!" Kirito yelled as about 40 to 60 members of Laughing Coffin lead by Johnny Black and Red-eye XaXa jumped out of the shadows to ambush the assault team.
"Son of a bitch they knew we were coming someone must have tipped them off!" Klein yelled out as he took on two members of L.C.
Kirito and Asuna where fighting their own targets trying everything they could to disable them.
After about 2 hours of constant fighting 10 members of L.C. were now dead as well as 8 people from the assault team they had managed to get the leaders of the attack group disabled as well as most if not all of them.
Godfree and Kirito as well as Klein where shackling the last of the group when all of a sudden they heard a yelp come from Asuna's location.
Kirito and Klein turned to see Kuradeel whose cursor was now orange with his arm around Asuna's neck and a small dagger to her head.
Kirito focused on her bar in his party and noticed she was paralyzed, he then glared at Kuradeel.
"So that is how they knew we were coming and what way's we were taking to get to them, you betrayed your guild to a bunch of sicko's." Kirito yelled as Godfree and Klein unsheathed their swords.
Asuna suffering from the paralysis asked him why.
"Why dear vice commander because you beater made me a top fighter in the greatest guild ever made me look like a fool shy hoping to replace me in the guild, I will never allow that to happen." Kuradeel said as he brought the dagger towards her neck while he tightened his hold on her.
The whole assault team was standing there afraid that he would kill Asuna if they moved towards him.
"So because Kirito-Kun defeated you in a duel you betrayed us to L.C.?" Asuna asked him.
He just laughed as he was joined by four new members of L.C. that had not participated in the fight.
"Oh no Vice Commander I have always been a follower of PoH I joined the Knights to help take them down from the inside for PoH but then I met you when I was charged with guarding you, here I was with the Lighting flash Asuna I knew as long as I was your bodyguard I would get you when we destroyed the Knights but no this beater had to come and ruin it for me, and make me a true strong player look like a fool in front of all those people." He screeched.
"This guy is not just crazy he is a sociopath and a stalker." Klein thought to himself with his sword still drawn.
"Drop your weapons now beater or I will kill her." Kuradeel demanded Kirito.
His grip on his swords tightened as he glared at Kuradeel.
Kuradeel just started laughing at him not noticing that someone was coming up behind him, all of a sudden he is hit in the head with the flat side of the battle axe that Agil wielded.
"Leave my family alone you sick bastard!" Agil yelled at him as Kuradeel fell forward releasing Asuna and dropping her to the ground.
In that moment three of the new L.C. members that had jumped down to join Kuradeel went in for the Kill on Asuna only to be blocked by Kirito.
To make matter worse a few of the subdued members of L.C. had used the time Kuradeel bought them to get themselves free and start attacking the group again.
Kirito was now trying to fight three members of L.C. while trying to protect Asuna, when he is all of a sudden thrown away from her when a bulkier member tackled him.
He landed about 4 meters from Asuna on the ground, he then used his high strength stat to push the member off of him to then see the other two members of L.C. taking a swing at Asuna.
" DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" He yelled as he charged the two L.C. members engaging them in combat.
The two he was fighting refused to surrender fighting him as hard as they could one was able to pierce Kirito's shoulder with a small dagger only to have Kirito respond with a sword in his gut, Kirito watched as his HP started to drain till it all disappeared and the guy disappeared into a swirl of polygons.
He then swung his two swords around to the other member who had slashed his back, meaning only to disable him accidently took half his head off killing him as well.
Kirito was speechless at this point having for the first time taken not one but two lives in this death game he was in shock to say the least, as well as noticing that he was under paralysis now from the dagger that hit his shoulder.
Meanwhile Asuna had finally been cured of the status effect was in combat with Kuradeel and had disarmed him and taken a good chunk of his HP out.
She had him on his knees where he started to beg for his life and was surrendering, this caused Asuna to lower her guard a little not wanting to kill a defenseless man.
This however was a ruse for him to grab his sword and disarm her, he then jumped to his feet with his large sword held over his head readying to strike her and kill her.
As he brought the blade down he was surprised that all of a sudden Kirito had jumped in front of Asuna throwing his arm up to block the sword only to have it slice his hand clean off.
This however did not seem to faze Kirito as his eyes glowed a bright yellow and his other remaining hand started to glow as well from Kirito powering up a martial arts skill.
Kirito hit his mark driving his hand straight through Kuradeel's chest depleting what remained of his HP, as Kuradeel was about to die his head slumped on Kirito's shoulder.
"God damnit you murdered me." He said as he finally burst into a swirl of polygons.
A few minutes after that Klein, Godfree and the rest of the group were able to stop the remaining attackers and use the corridor crystal to send them to black Iron Prison.
In the end after both teams met up after the mission there had been a total loss of 19 members of L.C. and 13 members of the assault team Heathcliff then turned to everyone standing there and began to address them.
"For the next week all members of the assault team are to rest to recover from this misson you have all earned it." He stated being basically the leader of the assault team due to his guild being considered the strongest.
Agil, Asuna and Klein were standing in the back of the group Asuna was helping Klein hold Kirito up who was still in shock from that battle she them looked over to Agil.
"Agil-San can you please help Klein hold Kirito I have to speak with Commander Heathcliff." She said as Agil nodded and took over for Asuna holding Kirito up.
"Actually Asuna we are gonna head back to my shop so we can get him to lie down, can you meet us there afterwards?" He stated then asked her.
She nodded and they headed for the teleport gate to go back to Algade, while Asuna headed into Heathcliff's office in KotB HQ.
She entered it and Heathcliff at this time was sitting at his desk, he looked up to see Asuna standing there.
"What can I do for you Asuna?" he asked.
"Sir in light of what transpired today with Kuradeel and also for a personal matter I respectfully resign my rank of vice commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath, as well as resign from the guild as a whole." She stated as Heathcliff stared at her.
He shook his then looked back up at her. "In all honesty Asuna I can understand why you are doing this and I would hate to lose such a valuable member and leader within my guild, I will accept your resignation under two conditions." He stated.
"What would those be commander?" She asked him.
He placed his hands under his chin." First you pick your replacement as Vice Commander of the guild and second you promise you will still aid the assault team in clearing floors." He states.
She nods back at him. "Of course sir I will no matter what still work with the assault team on the front lines that will not change however I will be taking a good amount of time off to help Kirito recover and there is nothing that will change my mind on that." She stated.
"As for my replacement I can think of no one else better suited to replace me would be Vanguard commander Godfree." She stated as Heathcliff nodded to both statements.
"Those are acceptable to me Asuna I wish you luck on your future endeavors, though if I need you and Kirito to return to the front lines I do expect you to answer the call." Heathcliff stated.
With that Asuna left the guild and left to head to the 50th floor to see Kirito and the others.
:::Agil's apartment above his shop:::
Klein and the others are sitting out in the common area of the apartment while Kirito was laying dawn still in shock in the other room with Silica in the room sitting next to the bed trying to comfort him.
"It's ok Kirito-Niichan I am here for you the others are also." She said while hugging him.
"I killed them Silica I killed three people, I was so angry I don't know what I was thinking I just saw them hurt Asuna and then I thought back to what Argo said they did to her and her friend and I just lost it, Silica I lost it how can you even stand to be in the same room as me after this." He asked as he cried into her shoulder not realizing Asuna had entered the room or that Argo was using her hiding skill to listen in.
"It is because you are a good person Kirito-Niichan, you're the person that helped me get Pina back, you let me in on your life also you have been the light in everyone's darkness here in our little family." Silica said as Kirito still had tears coming out of his eyes.
"Family?" He asked through the sobs.
"Yes Kirito-Niichan me and Agil have stated that we see us all as a family, me you Asuna-Nechan, Agil-san, Klein-San, Liz-san and even Argo-San, we all would do anything to protect the other without hesitation." Silica stated.
Kirito pulled back that was when he noticed Asuna, but not just her but everyone else.
"She is right Kirito your like a little brother to me man I would take a blow for you." Agil said as he walked over and placed his hand on Kirito's shoulder.
"Ki-Bo you mean a lot to me, what has happened to me and how you helped me and had my back made me realize that I may have lost Saya but I still have you, I'm here for you like you were there for me, besides if you die I would lose a lot of Cor without you to buy my info." Argo stated with a small smile on her whiskered face trying to lighten the mood.
"You took time to teach me how to play and survive in this game when it first started even though I was a complete noob you became my best friend in my eyes." Klein said with a smirk on his face as he was backed up by the rest of Fuurinkazan.
"Kirito you showed me there was something real in this death game that made me happy it really did, it was a huge boost for me in a long time." Liz said with a small smile on her face.
"Kirito-Kun ever since I first met you on the first floor till today you have always had a way to make me smile, even though we argued a lot you still made me smile somehow and I was not sure why for the longest time, till I found you napping in the grass that day, you then told me that Aincrad is where we live right now and that I should not think that one day in here is a lost day out there." Asuna started to explain as she walked over to him.
He looked at her he face stained from the crying. "It was then I realized that you were right, you see Kirito-Kun I always had nightmares that we would never make it out of here, or of people dying in front of me it was that day laying down next to you on the grass and drifting off to sleep it was the first time I had a peaceful sleep." She kept explaining to him.
"I have thought about this for a while and I finally found the reason why I always feel safe and happy around you, is because I have fallen in love with you Kirito-Kun." She said with a smile as she placed him in a hug.
He was confused but he started to push her away.
"How can you even say that Asuna how can any of you say those things after what I just did I killed three people I have their blood on my hands." He stated.
Asuna then tightened the hug. "Kirito-Kun you're not a murderer you did what you had to do to save people's lives, to save my life, Silica-Chan is right you're a good person that thinks of others before himself, hell even sitting here feeling regret and disgust for what had happened proves you are not like them." She said as he took her words in.
He then returned her hug. "Arigatō Asuna, Arigatō all of you." Kirito said.
That was when Kirito noticed she no longer had a guild tag next to her name. "Asuna did you leave the Knights?" He asked her.
She nodded then explained why and how it went.
Klein then stepped forward. "hey Kirito listen we were all discussing this earlier i was thinking I would dissolve Fuurinkazan and we would all join as one guild, together so we could all look out for each other." Klein stated.
This caused Kirito to turn white as he started to have flashbacks of what happened to the black cats.
"I don't know Klein." Kirito said as tears started to flow out of his eyes again.
This time it was Silica spoke up. "Kirito-Niichan why do you not want to form a guild or ever join one, I heard you used to be in one a little while before you met me." Silica asked.
Argo shifted a little knowing what had happened but in respect for Kirito never told a single person about it.
Kirito looked down at the floor. "What I am about to tell you no one knows about and it is the main reason I shy away from guilds."He says.
After about a half a hour he had told the whole story of what had transpired with the Black cats of the moonlight.
Silica and Liz had gasped when he finished the story and had tears forming in their eyes while Asuna had placed her hand on his cheek, Agil and Klein had both tensed up.
"So that was the reason for him soloing the holiday boss he hoped he could revive them." Klein thought to himself.
"Kirito-Kun you don't have to worry about me dying or any of us because we have to protect you like you protect us." Asuna stated as she pulled him into another hug.
Kirito smiled and returned the hug thanking her at the same time, after a few minutes Asuna noticed the weight shifted and noticed he had fallen back to sleep.
She laid him down while her and the others left the room to let him sleep and recover from both the fight and the mental trauma he suffered.
As they all sat discussing how to get Kirito to form a guild for them all they heard a noises coming from Kirito's room.
They all ran in there and they see him tossing and turning.
"My fault it's all my fault." He says in his sleep as they listen trying to figure what he is dreaming about.
I caused you all to die, it is my fault." He said.
"He must be having a nightmare of losing his guild." Klein said with a sad look on his face just trying to understand what it must feel like to lose your whole guild like that.
"It is not your fault Kirito-Niichan." Silica says as she moves closer to him.
"I tried Keita I tried please no don't jump." He says still sleeping.
"I know you tried Kirito-Kun you would rather die than lose a friend." Asuna says as she sits on the bed next to him.
"I don't belong I deserve to be lonely I don't belong." He muttered.
This time it was Liz that said something. "Yes you do belong Kirito you belong right here with people that love you, you deserve to be happy even in this game." Liz said not realizing he has awoken.
"Do you mean that?" he asked groggily.
She was a little speechless as he looked around at everyone.
They all answered at once that yes they did.
"Hey man I knew you were a good person and someone I could look to after what you did for the other beta testers after the floor 1 boss." Agil said.
"Man like I said earlier if I had not met you I could be dead right now you're my best friend ma." Klein said.
"Listen Klein I need to get this off my chest now I am sorry I left you behind on the first floor like that it has bothered me ever since." Kirito says as Klein shakes it off saying he understood why he did and that he would not fully accept the apology till they shared a meal back in the real world.
"Ki-Bo yeah I care about you a lot even more after I heard what you said to Sili-Chan earlier I would follow you to hell and back." Argo said.
"Kirito you pulled at my heartstrings that night in the hole it felt like my darkness hour after the day at the start of the game and you gave me light." Liz said with a smile on her face.
"Kirito-Niichan I do love you too you are a older brother to me and I never want that to change." Silica said as she rushed to him and hugged him after confessing that to him.
"Kirito-Kun I want to be with you, you make me happy, and it's a type of happiness I have not felt in a long time." Asuna said to him with a smile on her face.
He looked around at all of them sitting in the room with him and actually smiled for the first time in a long.
"Arigatō all of you, yes I will form us a guild then, though you Asuna you helped me a lot lately and for that I feel like my life belongs to you, I want to stay with you Asuna." Kirito said to her as she smiled brightly at his confession.
"I want to stay with you tonight Asuna if you will let me." He asked her.
Asuna smiled and nodded that she would love that.
:::April 20th 2024 Agil's shop:::
Kirito and Asuna had returned the next day after having spent the night before together.
"Come on Asuna give me all the juicy details about the night." Liz begged her with a lecherous grin on her face.
Asuna just waved her off. "Neh Liz no it's embarrassing." Asuna said while her cheeks were bright red.
"Aww come on Asuna please just a little bit." Liz begged.
"Liz-San stop being a pervert they don't want to talk about it." Silica said.
"Hey just because you're too young for that kind of stuff does not mean the rest of us cant know about it." Liz stated at her.
"Hey I am 14 I'm not much younger than some of you." Silica said with her face turning red.
Asuna leaned towards Liz. "Listen promise me you will leave us alone after I tell you this." Asuna stated.
Liz got a huge grin on her face nodding her head.
"Fine." Asuna said as she leaned in and whispered what had happened after their meal the night before.
Liz snapped her head back with her eyes opened wide.
"HE DID WHAT!" Liz yelled.
"KAMI-SAMA he is hopeless." Liz said laughing as Argo was chuckling off to the side.
"Oh I am never letting Ki-Bo live this one down." Argo said.
Asuna hung her head her face red with embarrassment. "This is so embarrassing." She said.
She looked around and could see them all laughing now she then smiled at the sight before her they were not just friends or a guild they were a family her little family in this death game.
She could not be happier.
Well folks that was a long one but it is complete as you could see this chapter focused on the Laughing Coffin raid and dealt with Kirito having guilt for taking the lives he took, next chapter will focus on them forming the guild moving to a new guild house and Yui-Chan will be making her debut next chapter.
Also i would like a little feedback i am trying to think of a good guild name for them now any ideas you guys have please PM them to me the ne that i like the most will become the name and you will get a shout out in the next chapter.
Also to answer a question that was asked of me, Kirito pats silica on the head like that because to him she is like a little sister and this is something he has done with Suguha in the fairy dance arc.
Anyway please R & R and until next chapter Catch ya on the flip side
