Note:This originally started a lot longer, and this is my second try at this, but seperated from the other idea because the other idea made this too long. This story is dedicated to John Glenn, the man who was the first to orbit Earth, oldest man to go to space, Senator of Ohio, and a model American, dying at the age of 95, the exact day which this story was published.
Chapter 3:
Black Lotus and Scarlet Rain were neck against neck in battle, Silver Crow, Sky Raker, Cyan Pile, and Lime Bell holding off the Red Legion members from interfering, but nobody really intended to. Everyone understood this was a battle of the Kings, and was not something they could interfere, or Silver Crow, Black Lotus's protegee would already have. Slowly but surely the battle was ending as they lost their health. Finally, they were locked weapon against weapon. One hit, and they were done with Brain Burst forever. Finally, as the tensions increased, second by second. Black Lotus herself didn't want to fight. But as she stared straight into Scarlet Rain's electronic avatar eyes, she remembered Kirito's words. And she knew, if she had any chance of regaining her family, and her relationship with her family not being damaged, nor her pride either, she had to kill Scarlet Rain, the innocent, now 13 year old. And with a swift moment, as everyone's eyes were trained mostly on her arms, she quickly brought herself up by hovering, and slicing Scarlet Rain's head off, with her legs. Scarlet Rain's blast hit her own comrades, her electronic eyes widening, as her head fell off, Black Lotus landed, and Scarlet Rain forever disappeared from Brain Burst.
Unlike usual level ups, Black Lotus had way more than enough points, and once Scarlet Rain disappeared, it automatically leveled up, with a large congratulations over her head. Everyone held their breath for a minute more, but nothing happened. With that, Black Lotus herself knowing what to do, but leaving everyone else confused, logged off. "Senpai!"Haru cried in surprise befor elogging off himself.
As Black Lotus unplugged the cord that directly linked her to Haru, Haru snapped out of Brain Burst, and unplugged the cord that connected him to Taku, just as Taku logged off, and tugged off the cord that connected to him to Chiyu as Chiyu woke up. Kuroyukhime gave them a sad look over, before Haru bursted out, "I-i understand why you did that. They probably sent you a message about your prize, and where to meet the creator of Brain Burst right?"
Kuroyukihime gave him a sincere glance accompanied with a sigh that was even sadder than her glance. "As of now, I am no longer a Master to all of you. Any further relationship with me can be decided when you understand the situation... and when I fully understand. Haru, I invite you to come with me, because I feel you deserve to know too, as my loyal protegee, and boyfriend,"she offered. Haru nodded without a moment of hesitation.
She put her hand up and typed a quick message, before heading out the door, with Haru at her heels. At the door of the lobby, a limorsine waited. Kuroyukihime grabbed his arm, and gently pushed him into the limorsine as he objected, "B-but, S-senpai, I think this limo is waiting for somebody!" The driver turned around to face them, who was dressed impeccably in a suit. Sitting in one of the seats was an even more impeccably dressed business man in his 50's.
As Kuroyukihime climbed in and closed the door, he looked at her as if he was looking at somebody with immense power. "I didn't happen to barge in on anything important with the urgent call for a ride, did I?"she asked sincerely. "No. Not all, Miss Yuuki. It was just another business meeting with one of our biggest customers. It is my honor to have my best limousine and driver, drive you anywhere. But, Ms. Yuuki, are you sure you want this boy to come with you?"the man answered, not with a single hint of sarcasm, and seeming to mean that one of the biggest customers was inferior to Kuroyukihime.
Kuroyukhime burst at that, "Of course he has to come, unless you want me to tell Grandpa, Uncle, Mom, and Dad! In addition, we're in a hurry, so would you mind getting there as fast as possible?" "N-no... of course not! Yes! Driver! Get us there, no matter how you do it!"he answered, sputtering at the mention of Kuroyukihime's family, and ordering his servant harshly. The driver hit the gas hard. The car zoomed down the highway at breakneck speed, and they got there within 10 minutes. As Kuroyukihime stepped out of the car, six body guards flanked her, all bulging with muscles and much taller than Haru. Haru was 5 foot 10. A young man stepped forward, and introduced himself, "I am Sato Daisuke, son of your Grandfather's secretary, and I am at your command. I am to lead you up to your father's all floor office on floor 40."
"Go buy me tea, and.. Umm... Haru, what would you like?"Kuroyukhime asked, finally acknowledging him after a while. That is why it surprised Haru, and he answered, sputtering, "Huh? Oh U-Umm, I'll j-just have the same please. And thank you Daisuke." "You heard him,"Kuroyukihime commanded harshly before waving him off. Daisuke scrambled away, almost tripping over his feet, sprinting across the street towards some cafe. This was weird, and all, but what was really stunning and petrifying Haru, was that the caring Kuroyukihime he knew in real life had turned into the steel sided, business side of Kuroyukihime, with what seemed like ten times more power, she seemed to take advantage of it, something she never did unless she absolutely needed to, and Haru didn't see why she needed to right now.
Kuroyukihime grabbed him by the wrist rather harshly, with her iron grip, and pulled him in, two security guards standing next to the automatic doors. The floor and walls were marble, there was a lounging area that obviously nobody used, two huge projections of the news on each wall, and ahead was the elevators, 4 on each side. Kuroyukihime didn't even have to press the elevator button. The guard did it for her. She stormed into the elevator, and two of the guards, the two biggest ones, followed them into the elevator. "What floor, Ms. Yuuki?"the elevator asked. This man, spoke impeccable English. And he was an elevator operator. "Floor 40,"Kuroyukihime answered.
There was the other most surprising thing other than her behavior. Why was everyone calling Kuroyukihime, Ms. Yuuki? Wasn't the Yuuki family the owner of RECT, the headquarters of which they were standing in right now?
The elevator doors slid open with a ding, and everyone but the elevator operator (who really just pressed the buttons) stepped out. Kuroyukihime's hand was still on Haru's wrist. But now, as the two guards stepped forward to talk to the secretary in this lounging reception area, she took a glance at his confused face, and took note of his shaking, nervous and anxious, even he seemed to know he was entering a vital moment. Kuroyukihime softened her grip, and slid it down into his hand, holding it softly like she regularly did now, and gave him one of her enchanting smiles, before snapping back into a stoic, business-like expression, although her hand was still in his. Kuroyukihime squeezed his hand, to reassure(mostly to reassure herself, but to reassure him as well :P ), as the guards pushed opened the heavy oak doors, and conversation flooded the lounging area for a second, before abruptly stopping as they realized they were being interrupted.
Four people were sitting in a comfortable and cozy lounging area, all staring at Kuroyukihime and Haru, hand in hand. Each one got better looking than the next. The first was a man in his mid twenties, in all black, his black hair tied in a braid behind him. He kept blinking at them, as if not believing. Next was a man that looked perhaps in his late 30s, with three glinting, but plain. The next was a girl, and she had to be called a girl although she looked in her 20's, because she was cute. Really cute, and in her light pink sundress, she was overflowing with happiness even though she wasn't smiling. Last, was a woman, perhaps a little younger looking than the second man, but her fingers sported three identical rings. She was like a character from VR had come to life. Her chestnut hair and hazel eyes sparkled, with just a bit of her chestnut hair pulled into a braid, that commented her white attire.
Haru turned to look at Kuroyukihime, but suddenly realized, she seemed to belong so much in this picturesque family. However, her body was tense, and rigid. Suddenly, tensions snapped, and the cute girl charged at Kuroyukihime, and wrapped her in a hug, tears flooded the girl's face, as she buried it in . "C-can't breathe...Yui,"Kuroyukihime choked out. Yui, the cute girl giggled and stepped back. But before Kuroyukihime could even take a breath, the other woman was already there, grabbing her ear and tugging it so that Kuroyukihime let go of Haru's hand, and tipped off balance so she had to flail her arms to keep balance. "What took you this long?!"the woman asked. "M-ma!It's not that easy, I'm not Kirito! S-stop that!"Kuroyukihime answered desperately.
Haru's face had turned from confusion and puzzlement to shock. He had never seen his Senpai flustered like that. And the name Kirito was triggering something in the back of his mind. The woman, Kuroyukihime's mother, let go, with a sigh, and then gave Haru a soft smile. "Now, who's this young man?"she asked. Haru stepped forward, and gave a bow, before introducing himself, "I am Senpai's... boyfriend, Mister and Misses..." Haru trailed off, not knowing what to call them. Haru glanced backwards, at the already closed doors which had closed during the whole ordeal, and there was no escape for him, from meeting his Senpai's parnets.
Finally, the man with three rings, who was also dressed totally in black, said, "Kirigaya. I find it interesting you are her boyfriend and still don't know her last name. But you refer to me as Kazuto, and to my wife as Beserk Lady!" Kazuto finished it off with a mischevious, childish, grin. "H-hey! Now that's harsh! I told you not to say that! And I haven't used it much since..."Kuroyukihime's mother objected, before trailing off, and then continued, this time looking at Haru, "But anyway, I'm Asuna, Asuna Kirigaya, or Asuna Yuuki if you prefer. It is my pleasure to meet a nice boy like you, especially as... Kuroyukihime as you call her's, boyfriend."
It all came crashing down at that moment. Yes, he'd known before, but Asuna Yuuki was married to Kazuto Kirigaya, Asuna Yuuki was the brother of RECT's current owner, and they were developers for several very popular games. His Senpai was their daughter, and Yui, and the other guy, was probably Yui's siblings or something like that. "Ma, you and him are confusing Haru,"Kuroyukihime complained as she took his hand, noticing his realization. "Haru, look at me,"she ordered. He did, and he expected to see a totally different Kuroyukihime, but she was still the same Kuroyukihime. "Haru, remember when I thought you looked through my real passport?"she asked.
Haru nodded. "Well, my name is Kirigaya. Kirigaya Yuuki. This is my mother, Kirigaya Asuna, or by her maiden name, Yuuki Asuna, this is Kazuto Kirigaya, this is Kazuto Yui, my sister, and this is Kan Takahashi, my future brother-in-law,"she introduced. Nobody mentioned how she never called Kazuto her father. "A-actually, we're not even engaged yet,"Kan murmured barely above a whisper, in a very, very, soft voice that didn't match his stoic and strong looking exterior. "Well... actually, you know everyone's been betting hundreds since you two met when you'd get together and get married right?"Kazuto cut in.
Nobody got to answer, because the next thing said, was barely above a whisper, as Haru looked straight into Yuuki's eyes, "Kirigaya...Yuuki?" She gave small smile, and nodded slightly, watching for a reaction. "It's even more beautiful than your fighting avatar,"he said, blinking, barely audibly. Yuuki gave a laugh, before hugging Haru, which was proving harder and harder, as he was much taller than her by now. She whispered in her ear, "Thank you Haru. For being you. Always."
Any bit of support shown is welcome. Thanks, for anyone reading this at all.
