The rest of the guild was back at Biwa Lake with Kirito except for Asuna, they were waiting for her.

"Since when is Asuna late?" Asked Kirito.

"Beats me" Said Klein.

Then Asuna emerged in quite a hurry, running straight to Kirito and hiding behind him.

"Ah… Asuna, what's going on?" Asked Kirito.

"My Ex-boyfriend's after me!" Said Asuna in fear.

"Ex-boyfriend?!" Kirito asked in shock and jealousy.

"Yes Kirito I've had a boyfriend before, sue me!" Shouted Asuna.

"Okay calm down, now why exactly is he after you?" Asked Kirito.

"Um, well, he never exactly got over me when I broke up with him" Said Asuna.

Then Asuna's Ex emerged. He was a skinny guy with black hair and glassy brown eyes, he looked on edge.

"Asuna, you shouldn't act like this, let's go away together" He said.

"No Gilbert! Just leave me alone!" Said Asuna.

"I thought you might resist, so I will just have to take you by force my love" Said Gilbert.

Kirito grabbed Gilbert. "I don't think so, Asuna's with me" Said Kirito.

"You think you're the man for my Asuna? Hell no! A worm like you could never be right for her!" Said Gilbert.

"I beg to differ" Said Kirito.

"YOU CAN BEG FOR YOUR LIFE!" Shouted Gilbert in madness. Then he brought up the main menu and issued a command.

"Watch carefully Asuna, I'll prove that I'm the only man for you" Said Gilbert.

Kirito said nothing, he just drew his weapon.

1…

Start!

Kirito and Gilbert clashed swords; Gilbert's sword was cut in half.

"N-no way!" Said Gilbert in shock.

"If you want to try with a different weapon bring it on" Said Kirito.

Gilbert withdrew another sword and charged in. Asuna cut this one in half herself.

"A-Asuna… He cheated! He used some trick to destroy my sword! Otherwise there's no way I could have lost to that worm!" Said Gilbert in shock.

"Gilbert, go away" Said Asuna calmly.

"We're not done Kirito, Asuna will be mine, I assure you, oh and I should tell you, I was one of the developers of the seed, I helped Kayaba create it, and I'll help him trap you all in the virtual world, but Kirito, you're going to end up in the worst game of all, and now I'll take my leave, teleport: Revanos" Said Gilbert. Surprisingly Revanos was straight out of Kayaba's mind.

"He helped create the seed? Well, I thought Kayaba was bad enough, but now we've got your insane Ex-boyfriend who wants to destroy me to contend with" Kirito said to Asuna.

"Hey don't pin this all on me!" Said Asuna.

"I wasn't trying to, but seriously where did you pick that guy up?" Asked Kirito.

"Tokyo, I was visiting the city and I met this cool guy, he wasn't insane at first, but then he just started obsessing over me, it drove him insane, so yeah" Said Asuna.

"Hmm, well he could be a problem but let's not worry about him right now" Said Kirito.

"Good idea" Said Asuna.

Winner

Kirito

Time: 1:30

"I'm sorry Kirito, I didn't mean to involve you in this" Said Asuna.

"As long as you're safe and you're with me that's all that matters" Said Kirito. Then he hugged Asuna with a lot of love.
