A/N: Hiya all! Have been writing like mad these past few days, really hope you're enjoying this as much as I am. Nothing else to say so BEGIN!


Chapter 6. Comfortable.

"Uhh, Hi. Uncle Eugeo." Yui performed a short bow. Eugeo returned it.

"Hi Yui, how are you?"

"Good thanks, how about you? Are you getting used to your new body?"

"Yes, I am. I need to learn the laws of your world though, I need a job and a house and all kinds of stuff, You grew up learning, It's much hard for me!"

"You'll be fine. Umm, I came in here to tell you something though."

"What is it?"

"I wanted to tell you so you could back me up with my parents."

"Go on." Eugeo took of his apron and oven gloves.

"Well you know my friend, Dante. I-err, He asked me out."

"And?" Eugeo said, a glint of excitement in his eyes.

"I said yes. Aren't you going to get all protective or worried or something?"

"No, I'm not, But your parents will!" He laughed and embraced Yui. "I've seen you grow up from a little girl; I'm finally starting to see you grow up!"

"Thanks Eugeo. Think Alice will act the same way?"

"Probably, we can tell her later. I'll help out with telling your parents." He said, turning down the oven, making sure his food wouldn't burn.

Yui sighed as she flopped onto her bed. That wasn't too bad, she thought, it only involved me inviting Dante over for dinner with my parents and extreme embarrassment. "Ugh."

Yui decided to go on gravity then get to bed, it was nearly eleven pm, so just a quick twenty minutes she thought.

"Link start!" Her mind was thrown into the world she was created.

~In game.

Yui inhaled, exhaled, flung open her eyes. This space station was her own, no one else's. She went down to her mining deck, picked out her freshly mined ore and set it off again. A small information box appeared above her machinery. 12 hours before full. She took off her space suit and put on something more comfortable for her Bistilla species, something that allowed her tail to be free. She walked into her quarters. Posters stuck on the wall, of Sao. In a display case lay her parents weapons of choice, she had had to do some considerable hacking to allow these in the game, but it's all connected by the seed and thus, possible, especially for an A.I.

"So, this is what new games look like today, huh?" Kazuto said, looking at the walls around him.

"E-eh!? How did you-?"

"Direct link. Brought in the cable."

"Oh. Well, this is my private space station, welcome."

"Why are you a wolf?"

"Because I wanted to be, and it's a Bistilla. Why are you a human?"

"Because I wanted to be like my old Kirito, kinda hard in this spacesuit though, how do I take it off?"

"You can't, you have to make or collect some clothes. We could raid a Griegam base if you like?"

"This is weird. Never have played a sci-fi Vrmmo before, unless GGO counts. I'll give it a kick go, as long as I can use that sword."

"It's a game about phasers and laser guns but you still want to use a sword? You never change do you?"

"No, I don't. May I?" Kazuto pointed at his elucidator.

"It is yours after all. The sword will work as an inanimate object, anything in this world can be used as a weapon, that will count as an edged environmental weapon, there's no system to help you though."

"There was no system in Aclization to help me. Other than the sword skills."

"Fair enough, Let's take the shuttle." Yui lead her father to the armoury, where he chose black armour and a makeshift sheath. Yui chose her black, white and red armour, her rare purple phaser and her legendary Bistilla laser shotgun.

"That looks awesome Yui. You pucked out a good game."

"Yeah, this is normally where me and Sky look at each other, pump our shotguns and say, while putting on imaginary sunglasses, let's roll." Yui said, reenacting the scene.

Kazuto laughed, then was lead to the shuttle bay.

"I hope you're ok with a rough takeoff!" The fighter rattled and shook then blasted out of the space station and into space. A menu appeared in front of them.

"Where to Wolf women?"

"Shut up, there, lvl 2 Griegam space station. Clothes and possibility of an uncommon weapon."

"Go ahead." The ship jumped, blue lights flashed by much like when they started up their Vr helmets.

"Haha! An Astroid field, better mark it for later mining."

"So, how do we do this?" Kazuto asked.

"Well, I land, we shoot the green pig like creatures, we steal stuff we go, sound good?"

"Yup."

"How did my alone time end up being a raid with my Dad who doesn't even own Gravity?" Yui complained as she landed, jumped out as the cockpit cover flung open and began emptying her rounds into the enemy. Kazuto jumped out after her, slashing his way through in front of her. His steps were perfect, like in Sao, except this time he was doing it for real. No external systems helping him place his foot or just alter his momentum in the slightest. It was beautiful.

Soon after their raid Kazuto left, leaving Hui back in her quarters, alone. Just how she liked it, but there was something about fighting with her father again that just made her, smile...

~ The next day.

Yui blushed as she walked to school, her hand intertwined with Dante's. They got some glares, but it was more bearable having someone by her side. Dante scared a few off, but the name calling and throwing carried on. After the school and gotten over the whole Yui won a cat fight thing, life went back to normal and the glares and bullying began in it's normal cycle again. Yui hung her head low, Dante glared back. He could be scary when he wanted to, although he always changed his expression whenever he turned to Yui.

"I hate this." Dante said.

"It's my fault, I'm sorry." Yui said, hanging her head even lower.

"No, it's not. I really like you Yui; I asked you out. I knew what would happen and I don't care. I hate this bullying not because it hurts me, but because it hurts you. Cowards. All of them." Dante clenched his fist, keeping it out of view of Yui.

Eventually they reached the school grounds, after what seemed like forever. Sky and Aki waited, talking, flirting. Dante and Yui walked up, hands still intertwined. Yui felt uncomfortable holding hands in front of all these people, but the warmth of his hand was not something she wanted to break away from.

"Hey Yui, Dante. Holding hands already?"

"Y-yeah." Yui said, shuffling her feet.

"Nothing to be ashamed of. Don't worry about these assholes, just be yourselves around each other, don't change for other people." Aki said with a hint of anger in his voice, they went through the same thing at the start of their relationship.

"Come on guys, bell just rang." Everyone nodded affirmatively and headed in their respective ways to class, Dante and Yui heading the same way towards Drama.

~Lunch.

Yui came out of English with a relieved sigh. The one lesson that could be made more bearable by sitting next to Dante, Dante wasn't in. Yui flicked her hair back over her shoulder and began walking toward the exit of the building. Sky, Aki and Dante stood in a group, chatting and laughing, Yui ran up to them.

"Hey, just got out of English, god I hate that teacher."

"I know the feeling." Aki said. Dante moved his arm around Yui's shoulder.

"When was the last time we played on Gravity together?" Dante asked.

"Well, when you get a freaking Vr helmet, maybe it'll be easier!" Sky joked.

"But maybe I like going to Yui's house. Maybe I don't want one just so I have a reason to go to her place."

"Shu-shut it." Yui said, blushing uncomfortably. She shuffled her feet and slowly became accustomed to the arm wrapped around her shoulder, but she found public flattery uncomfortable.

"Haha, Watch it Dante, she bites." Sky said, laughing.

"I'll bite you!" Yui taunted Sky.

"Haha, but yeah. We should play some Gravity soon. Yui! Invite Dante to your house!"

"But- Wha- My parents, Plans and-"

"Nah, don't worry about that, Dante, go to Yui's house at 6 pm. Sharp."

"I didn't agree to this!" Yui stated.

"It's settled then." Sky ignored her, " Dante shall meet Yui at her house at 6 pm and we shall all play some Gravity."

"Siko..." Yui huffed, obviously finding it pointless to argue.

"Hey, I'll bring cookies." Dante said, calmly and gently. Yui felt herself melt at the sound of his voice.

"Fine... But this can't happen all the time. I have to Gert ready and make sure I have the correct makeup and stuff."

"No you don't, You still look beautiful without dressing up. I mean look at you now in your uniform! You're like a character from those revealing characters in anime!" Dante took a second to process what he had just said, before looking at his running girlfriend.

"PERVERT!" Yui did an Asuna and kicked his shin.

"Ooooh..." Sky and Aki said, half laughing. Dante looked upon at them like a kicked puppy.

"Hey, you deserved that." Aki said.

Dante apologised quickly and Yui soon found herself wrapped in his arms again. She wrapped her arm around his torso and pressed her head to his chest, she could hear his heartbeat and started to lose herself in a trance.

"Hey, Yui, I like this and all, but you hate public affection, right?" Dante said, nudging her slightly.

"I don't care about my image in front of them, they can go screw themselves."

"I'm not complaining." Dante said as he ruffled her hair.

Aki and Sky were doing something similar, except Sky was leaning on his shoulder.

"Only five minutes left until the bell. Ugh, lunch goes so quickly." Aki told the group, mainly focusing his attention on his loving girlfriend, who was still snuggling into his shoulder.

Yui placed her hand on Dante's chest and looked ahead at Aki and Sky.

"Yeah, we'll see you guys after school right?"

"As always." Aki said, squeezing Sky's arm.

"Another two lessons to get through." Yui said.

"Well, we'll be off. See you two lovebirds later!" Aki waved.

Dante now stood facing Yui outside the building entrance. He stroked the hair out of her face and cupped her cheeks in his hands. Yui stood on her tip toes and tried to keep the blush flowing in her cheeks invisible, she wrapped her arms around his neck as she had seen in films and when Aki and Sky kissed so many times before. Finally, their lips mashed together and everything went black around her, except Dante, she melted inside and pushed into the kiss. She felt butterflies in her stomach and her knees wobbled as she discovered a new sensation. After a while, she opened her eyes and they broke off, the blackness returning to daylight.

"See you after school Yui." Dante left her with a quick peck on the forehead.
