Escape to the living

Chapter 1: The raid meeting

Few months later.

"Kagome, Switch." Kirito called out as he jumped out the way and begun to heal him self from the damage that the monster inflected on him.

"Roger! Guys get out of the way from the alpha boss!" Kagome warned Klein group, Agil and his wife Kagome sword glow blue and change to a bow and arrow she took aim at the monster, she channel her reiki to her bow and yelled "Purifications arrow!" the arrow was realise as soon as it realise Klein group, Agil and his wife all jumped out on time and watched the arrow shots it target the monster was destroyed into blue pixels.

"Okay I think that's enough levelling by now we are all 19 we should be all strong enough to take 1st floor boss. Let's go home and rested up the exp will be slower until we go to the next level." Kirito told them as they rap it up and walk away from the boss room. All 9 of the guild member been walking around the guild Labyrinth everyday to get stronger.

While they walked out from the maze Kirito thought about what happened for the last few months. He was a solo player at first. But now it was easier for him he dint have to work alone anymore. 'I'm glad that I met Klein and Kagome. If I haven't met them I'll be still be playing alone. This guild is entertaining...' Kirito chuckle 'But is good to have friends around and someone to protect.' He thought.

As the group got out of the maze they all got a message from a man called 'Diavel'

Message:

To all players of Fuurinkazen guild please go to the amphitheatre the west coast of the forest a very important raid will be happening soon and we need all the help we can get. You must be at the meeting by tomorrow morning 9:00am so be sure to get a lot of rest because boss raid will be held soon.

Kind regard Diavel

"So boss raid meeting tomorrow? So Klein what the plan do we go or let them handle floor 1 boss?" Agil asked Klein with concern look in his face.

Klein look to all of his guild member and grind "I say we go we are all lv19 now. Were stronger for the raid." Klein replied proudly acting like a guild leader.

"Wow boss raid... I don't know I have a feeling something going to happen if we go." Kagome objected.

"But if we don't killed floor 1 boss we will never be able to get to the next level." Kirito said to them while looking at his level he was lv23 stronger then the boss floor... Kirito did some extra training at night that why he is very high level.

Everyone nodded in agreement but Kagome suddenly felt a vibe... 'Hopefully no one die tomorrow I got to protect everyone.'

"Okay guys let's go get some rest for tomorrow big event." Kirito said to them as they went to their inn at Horunka.

Inside the Inn of

Tolbana

"Finally we can sit down." Klein sighed as they walked into their inn room. Klein walked to the closest bed as Kirito walked to the farthest. Agil plopped onto the couch closing his eyes with his wife who was half asleep to sleep leaving Kagome standing in the door.

"Where am I supposed to sleep?" Kagome asked a little scared at the thought of sleeping on the floor or with the pervert named Klein and his other friends.

"On the floor with the cockroaches or with Kirito in that bed because he is the smallest." Agil told her without opening his eyes and have a smirk on his face.

"What?" Kirito and Kagome asked in sync.

"Oh please like you guys haven't slept in the same bed as someone of the opposite sex before." Klein told them from his bed.

"Yeah well we just met." Kagome countered 'but what about the kissed we shared last night.' She thought. 'Surely he wouldn't mind me...' Kagome stole a glance at Kirito and look away with a blushed.

"Yes, but you already look like best friends. The less you think about it, the less awkward it is." Agil put in "Beside I see you two already getting along." while holding in a laugh.

"Fine whatever." Kagome grumbled and lay down next to Kirito.

"Ok everyone be up by 7am so we can make it to the meeting." Kirito told them and drifted off to sleep.

Kirito woke to the sound of laughing and two guys talking. "Oh my God this is some good blackmail right here." The voice of Klein said with evil smirk.

Still with his eyes closed Kirito then heard the voice of Agil say, "That really is. I just hope they don't kill us for laughing at them or Kagome kill Kirito for this."

"Kill me for what?" Kirito asked still not sitting up or opening his eyes not noticing Kagome beside him.

"Oh Kirito you are awake." Klein said nervously.

"Kirito look at your shoulder." Agil told him. Kirito turned his head and saw something that made his face so red it made tomatoes look white. There was certain raven hair lying peacefully on his shoulder and her body cuddled up next to his. Kirito quickly moved off the bed and gently put Kagome head on her pillow he then blushed.

Kirito then turned to the other two and threaten, "You tell her anything and you die." Both of them they both shook their head up and down so hard their heads nearly fell off.

Next day at 7am

The group got up early and had a stretch Kagome cooked a meal for the entire group since she is high level enough and put all of her skills on cooking which make things easier for the group.

After they eaten they all headed to the amphitheater time for the meeting. The Fuurinkazen guild all sat down in place. Klein and his 4 friends sat in front with Klein in the middle. Kirito and Kagome was behind them next to Agil and his wife.

Once everyone gather at amphitheater they saw a certain sky blue hair down to his shoulder, Sky blue eyes and his Armour where all blue as well walking at the center of the amphitheater he hold his sword in front of him stabbed in the ground making it look like the leader of the group raid he scanned everyone and nodded seeing everyone showed up for the raid. "Okay everyone my name is Diavel and is good to see you all can make it for this raid. In this game my Job role is a knight." He said to everyone smiling. Everyone laugh at him one of the players shout.

"There no job system in this game."

"is this meeting is a joke?"

When everyone calmed down Diavel face got serious gripped his sword tightly "Okay first of me and my party found the boss room." Everyone gasped and started whispering to one another "secondly I want everyone to party 5 or 6 party member." Diavel told them and immediately everyone grabbed their friends. Klein party is already sorted with his 4 friends Agil and his wife decided to party with Kirito and Kagome.

"We still need 1 more person to join Kirito." Kagome told him.

"Yeah Diavel said to group up with 5 or 6 party member." Agil added in.

Kirito scanned around the stage and saw a figure sitting alone Kirito nudge Kagome and gesture at the female figure and nodded at her both Kirito and Kagome walk towards her and Kagome asked.

"Hi! Would you like to join our party?" Kagome asked kindly.

The figure looked up and saw two raven hair standing in front of her she nodded not saying anything. Kirito send her a party request and popped in front of her she hesitate at first then pressed 'accept.'

"I'm Kagome and this here next to me is Kirito." Kagome introduce both of them while smiling brightly.

"Asuna..." she simply reply in a quieted tone shyly.

"Nice to meet you! So Asuna san do you want to meet our other team member?" she asked excitedly Asuna who just nodded Kagome quickly grabbed a hold on both Asuna and Kirito and headed straight to their guild.

The guild and Asuna got along great as soon they are all party up Diavel stares at everyone and nodded 'It's look like everyone party up.' He thought 'Alright let's get this showed in the road.' He begun to spoke to everyone again "Okay now that the party has been cover I shall tell you the boss name... his name-." Diavel was cut off by a man that Kagome and Kirito recognize by his voice they both raised their eye browed in suspicious.

'why do I have this feeling, that guy is going to create some trouble for the players.' Kagome thought and glance at Kirito who face gotten serious all of sudden.

They both saw the figure run up in front of diavel and face everyone in the amphitheater he took a deep breath and complained "The name is Kibao you all got that!? I need to get something clear to you all! You know all about the two thousand players that died in game? Well some of you need to apologies to them!?" he yelled in rage.

"I assume you are referring to these beta tested?" Diavel guessed as he stood still.

"Of course I mean them. When this started all of them just left. They got all of the easy quests, best items, and the best hunting spots. I say we make them give up everything they have to prove that they are trust worthy." Kibaou added in. Kirito studied all of the players' faces and saw their emotions. Some like Kibaou's plan, some did not give a damn what happened, some hated it, and some looked terrified which were probably the beta testers. Kagome on other handed her faced darkened she may not played mmorpg very long but this is gotten out of hand she stood up everyone look and stared at her. Kirito who sat their shockingly what about she going to do wont be pretty...

"Shut up!" Kagome shook her head and yelled angrily at him and stood up for the beta tester "JUST SHUT UP! You do not have right to complain to the beta tested! If you want someone to complain, complain at the stupid game master who created this game! So what if two thousand players died in this game! It is their choice to do solo, go on high level monster boss alone, someone suicide or someone from outside interference!? It is not the beta fault no one can blame for them on what happen to them!

AND WHO DO YOU THINK YOU FOOLING AROUND!? Huh Kibaou? The beta tested... they decided who to give the information to since it is there hard work to get all this type of information!? You have no right telling them what to do or blamed at them! If the beta tested want to give information away then is their decision!

If you want information from them then you either buy it off them or challenge them for it! I cant believe you blame to these beta tested that two thousand died it wasn't their fault! SO APOLOGIES TO THEM THE BETA TESTED! Without them we wouldn't be here in this meeting." Kagome yelled angry at Kibaou in red faced while panting "And if you do not apologies to them and don't want to play nicely then I will killed you my self! This way we wont have any problems and complain!" she yelled as she grabbed her sword and transform it to a bow she took a quiver and attach to the bow string and hold it in still pointing at Kibaou waiting for the apology.

Kirito, Diavel and the other beta bested sat their in shocked this one fiery raven hair women stood up for them... Kirito who sat their smiling at Kagome and other beta tested has a relieve expression in their face that no one hated them only Kibaou some of them glare harshly at Kibaou and some of the looks he was having was blood lust.

Kibaou stood there in shock no words coming out of his mouth he saw everyone glare at him, some of his friends he saw stared at him in disgusted, some of the glare he was receiving was wanting him dead... he couldn't blame them since he went to far so he took out of his teleport crystal and said to them all "You all be sorry, especially you." His last word and glare at Kagome in hatred before he teleport somewhere abandoning the raid.

Kagome dropped her bow and change it back to a sword and re attach to her hips and mutter as she sat down "that dammed guy dint apologies instead he fled somewhere I should had killed him." Kirito pulled her into a hugged and whisper something to her ear.

"Thank you." Then he sat back down look at diavel and nodded at him while keeping Kagome next to him.

"Ahem." Diavel said gaining their attention "Now all these fiosco is over has everyone got the manual guide boss information book?" he asked everyone was silent and all nodded at him. "His name is Illfang the Kobold Lord. He is a lv21 boss and he uses and axe and a buckler. When his health reaches his last of his health bars he switches to a curve type weapon called a talwar. Any questions?" Diavel told them. When no one raised their hand or spoke Diavel dismissed them. "Good now I want you all here by tomorrow at same time be ready and get some rest. Meeting dismissed."

As soon everyone dismissed Kirito Kagome, Asuna, Agil, Agil wife and Klein and his group all return to the Inn and planned their battle strategies and equipping their best equipment.

Yes! I finally done it Chapter 11 is done I was able to avoid Kirito from going to the dark part now with Kibaou gone the rest of the beta tested is at relief oh and Asuna finally appear! I had a blasted writing chapter 11 took me a while and lot of thinking so what do you guys think? it looks to me that Kagome going to be in big trouble in the future.

There is a hidden message from Kibaou last word "You all be sorry especially you." Tee hee you all have to wait... Chapter 12 is on working progressed happy thanks giving!
