As another week of school ended the group of SAO survivors once again headed to Agil's cafe. However two of them were unaware of what was going to happen to them. Kirito and Asuna had found out a new VRMMO was recently released, but it was based on an old console game. 'Five nights at Freddy's' VRMMO edition was the game in question and what was surprising is that neither Lisbeth of Silica had heard of the infamous jump scare game; hell even when Asuna didn't play any games she knew what it was about. After some convincing Kirito had finally managed to get Lisbeth and Silica to try it first together since it came with a multiplayer option, since it was now a VRMMO. Oh how sweet the revenge was going to taste for Asuna and Kirito.

The four arrived at Agil's place of business and immediately spotted two amuspheres set up with the game apparently loaded up already. Lisbeth and Silica weren't expecting much from a game like this, but they quite literally about to lose a few minutes and more of their lives because of Five nights at Freddy's.

"I promise you two, nothing bad is going to happen in the game. Yes it's a horror game but there are no gruesome scenes I swear." Kirito falsely reassured the blacksmith and dragon tamer.

"You better be telling the truth. Let's do this Silica!" Lisbeth said as she and the smaller girl logged in and began to get ready. It didn't take long but after twenty minutes the pair logged out of the game and immediately hugged each other, sat against the wall on the floor and rocked each other to try and soothe the pain and fright of what they had just experienced. They kept mumbling something to themselves and as Kirito and Asuna looked at them, they knew that the game must have been some form of payback for what happened a few days ago.

"I… I-I hate you t-t-two. I am never playing that game again, ever." Lisbeth said with a hint of venom in her voice, while Silica sat there in Lisbeth's arms with her eyes almost bulging out of her skull. Asuna and Kirito knew that their revenge came true in the best way possible for them. However the couple had both decided that tomorrow they would head over to Asuna's house. The emotions inside of Asuna were beginning to run rampant and out of control. It would be the first time in about a week and a half that Asuna would be back at her own house. Asuna began to feel angry when thought about having to see the very person who had said she was disgusted with her and repeatedly slap in her face. Kirito had told Asuna to head back to the house as he help Agil with something in the cafe and would be a little bit, and very reluctantly Asuna went back to her boyfriend's house. As soon as she got there she went straight up to Kirito's room, plugged in her amusphere, loaded up ALO and logged into the game.

When her vision cleared up she found herself in one of the rooms at Agil's Inn in Yggdrasil City. She was still fuming anger and hatred inside for her mother so the undine ran out of the room and inn, spread her wings and flew towards the ancient forest that was located in the sylph territory to the north-east. When Asuna landed on the ground she walked around for a bit until she ended up next to river that ran through the forest. Looking down at the river and seeing her reflection coming off the water and it made her sad for some reason. Unknowingly even to herself her hand scrolled through her menu until it found the custom music section and picked one that only Asuna would be able to hear.

~Asking Alexandria – The Black~ as the music started playing Asuna's rabid emotions started to boil until she began to scream the song.

Bury me, just leave me to sleep in the dirt
Finish me, I'm floating away
There's a demon staring straight through your eyes
Am I wasting my time?
Something's dying inside of me

You make me feel like I'm fucking drowning
(I need to cut you out, I need to cut you out)
You made my world come crashing down around me
(I need to cut you out)

Oh God I wish you'd just speak to me
Black is all that I see
Speak to me
You used to be all that I needed

I've been crucified and hung out to dry
Yet my heart still beats and I feel so alive
This time I'll fight for myself as you try to fuck me over
I bet you never cared, I knew you never cared

(The once blue skies were now being by grey clouds and they were getting darker. Bringing the sounds of thunder with them and the probability of rain as Asuna kept singing out of anger.)

You make me feel like I'm fucking drowning
(I need to cut you out, I need to cut you out)
You made my world come crashing down around me
(I need to cut you out)

Speak to me
Black is all that I see
Speak to me
You used to be all that I needed

I need to cut you out, I need to cut you out
I need to cut you out, I need to cut you out
I wish you could save me, there's something lost inside
I'm scared it might kill me
(The rain couldn't be held any longer and started to come down soaking Asuna as she sang out of sorrow this time crying as well which made her feel hurt and upset even more than before.)
All my life I've needed you with me
You've always let me down
But still I try
Don't leave me here
I need you around (don't turn your back on me)
Lift my feet off the ground (I can't cut you out)
Your tongue like a knife
Your eyes cut like daggers
I don't feel a thing 'cause I'm so dead inside
Lift my feet off the ground
Don't leave me here
I need you around

~Asking Alexandria - The Black~ Ends. Asuna soaked to the bone couldn't hold herself up anymore and her legs gave out. She collapsed to the ground, shuffled up to the tree and held her knees to her face burying it as she continued crying. The undine was completely unaware of her spriggan husband coming up next to her.

"Hey Asuna, what's going on. Why are you here crying when it's raining?" Kirito asked.

"I-I…I hate my mother." Asuna mumbled out which Kirito barely heard. "I know we've talked about this already, but just the fact that we're going to talk to not just my father but…her. It just makes feel like I am completely worthless." Her boyfriend/in-game husband's eyes widen and as he gently approached her, she immediately grabbed his coat and buried her face into his chest crying not just her eyes but her very soul out trying to find some relief. Kirito felt absolutely useless to Asuna as the only thing her could at that moment in time was to hold Asuna in his arms. After a while Asuna had managed to calm down somewhat to point where she could speak again. "I know we have to see them tomorrow, it's just… the thought of seeing her again. It makes angry but scared as well. I don't know what she's going to do and it scares me Kirito-kun." Asuna sobbed out as Kirito rubbed and patted her head and back.

"You won't be alone with her this time okay. I'm going to be right there with you, so you've got nothing to be scared about okay."

"T-Thank you Kirito-kun, however I don't know if I face Yui like this today."

"Do you want me to talk her for a bit and meet you out of ALO later on?"

"Yes, that sounds good to me. We should probably head back to Yggdrasil city so we can log out." Asuna said as she finally regained her composure in some way and flew back to the inn with Kirito. As soon as the young couple got back, they found Yui still in the room after Kirito had told her to stay in until they got back for her safety. Saying goodbye to Yui, Asuna logged out of ALO leaving the raven haired spriggan to try and explain what was exactly going on.

Asuna took off her amushpere and put it on Kirito's computer desk and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Kirito to log out as well. After about five or so minutes Kirito began to stir and removed his own amushpere and placed it next to Asuna's and immediately began to comfort her as she fell asleep from being tired and letting her emotions get out of hand. As Kirito gently stroked her hair he whispered something to Asuna before falling asleep with Asuna in the safety of his arms.

"I promise you Asuna, until the day I die that I will help and protect you no matter what. It doesn't matter which world we might be in, nothing or 'no one' will stop me from keeping you safe and happy. I love you Asuna."

A/N Author's Note: Yes I have got a chapter up. I will admit that the confrontation between Asuna's parents and Kirito & Asuna will come into the next chapter as I somehow felt that it be better set out that way. I wanted to focus a lot more on Asuna in this chapter, even if it came later on in the chapter. Also when you look at the lyrics for the song; the reason why some if it is in bold type is because that is meant to be the screaming (/screamo) parts of the song. As always positive feedback and constructive criticism only. No negative bullcrap please and make sure to check out my other stories as well in case you haven't seem yet as well.

I also want to give a big thank you to TheSib who was kind enough to let me use his idea of a VRMMO Five nights at Freddy's game from his story Blazing Revolution so you should definitely give it a look if you haven't already
