Chapter 6: Plan (part 1)

It was almost 7 pm in London, Kirito finally got back to the hospital to visit his friend Eiji. Eiji bandage his shoulder and he was standing up, walking out with Patrick. Kirito saw Eiji was walking around, walked to him. "You okay?" Kirito asked as Eiji massaged his shoulder. "Yes, I'm fine! I still can fight Kirito don't worry about it." he said as he moves his hEand normally. Patrick looks at Kirito while walking out from the hospital with Eiji. "Did you tell her?" he asked Kirito as Kirito looked at him. "Yeah, I did. Now Alice is taking care of her." Kirito said. "I sent her to make you feel safe while you're far away from your family, I know the thing I did was wrong, and I wanna prove myself that I'm not that Eiji anymore! Also we're friends and we need to support each others" Eiji finished as Kirito smiled. "I believe in you brother." kirito said as Eiji felt a sharp pain in his shouder. "Guh!" He yelled in pain as he put his left hand on his shoulder.

"Eiji you got shot! I think you need rest!" Kirito adviced him but Eiji stood up again and walks out from the hospital with Kirito and Patrick "I've been raised with pain, so it's kinda my friend!" Eiji said. "We hope you'll be okay then son!" Patrick said as they got inside the car, drove back to the hotel!

8:30 pm, Hotels cafe

Kirito, Eiji and Patrick were drinking some fruit juices and waited for someone to show up. Patrick hired a sniper earlier since Alice was gone to protect Asuna and Sachi while Kirito was gone. "So tell me, who is this sniper you hired?" Eiji asked while Patrick was drinking a bit of his drink. He looked at Eiji, put down the glasses on the table. "Her name is Roxy, Roxy Mizakari! She's half American and half japanese. She's a good sniper and has the highest rank in aiming!" Patrick explained to Eiji. "Roxy is 25 yaers old, she lost her parents by a gang! From her 14th age she joined America's special forces." He was explaining until he looks behind Eiji, smiles. "Ohh, there she is!" Patrick said as Kirito and Eiji turned around. They saw a beautiful young girl with red hairs and green eyes. She looks like an American woman but her hairs and body style looks like a Japanese woman. she was wearing a grey jacket, blue pants and black shoes and carried a large bag. She smiled as she sat down on the table next to Eiji with her bag. "Sorry I'm late, there was a big traffic!" Roxy said, Patrick smiled. "It's ok Roxy. You just arrived in time!" He said, Roxy smiled back. "Thank you, ohh my apologies where's my manner?" she said in smile and turned to Kirito. "Hello, you must be Kazuto Kirigaya! The gaming developer!" Roxy said to Kirito as she reached her right hand to him to shake. Kirito smiled and shook her hand gently. "Hello and nice to meet you miss, Yeah but you just call me Kirito." He said in smile, she smiled back. "It's a pleasure to meet a popular person!" She said as Kirito let go her hand. "I'm glad for hearing this ma'am." he said. She turned to Eiji, looking at him. "And you are-?" She asked Eiji in a friendly and nice tone as Eiji smiled.

"Nochizawa Eiji, just call me Eiji miss Roxy." He said in smile as he suddenly felt embarrassed, Roxy smiled at him. "Alright, you can call me Roxy too!" She said and sat back on her chair. Eiji suddenly felt something he never felt, it was strange, and he suddenly pictured Roxy's face in his mind, but then he shook his head to forget it. "So you're the sniper?" Kirito asked as Roxy looks at him. "Yes. I've been serving America's special forces for like 11 years. And yes, I'm here to serve the world! Also Patrick! I brought some backup for tomorrow! We might get into trouble so I brought some soldiers near the cave!" Roxy finished as everyone smiled. "Goodjob Roxy! That's what I needed. Thank you!" Patrick finished in smile. Kirito turned back to Patrick. "So what's the plan? We finally found out we're the cave, so how should we get in the cave before Simon gets the sword?" Kirito asked. Patrick opened his laptop from his bag and opened it.

"If I knew it was in the London's mountain cave I would tell you a good plan, but I've a good idea! So, We move out at 6 am! As far as I know there are six guards around the cave gate, I will hack all caves cameras, after that, Roxy must shoot down those guards with her poisened darts without making them bleed while she's waiting with her army for my mark, Kirito and Eiji must wear the dead guards clothes and pick their guns and drag their body out of the way of camera, they have 6 minutes before the security guard fix the cameras so be quick! Kirito, you must go and check on Simon, make sure he actually reached to the sword!" He looked at Kirito as he nod. "Roger that!" Kirito said, Patrick turned to Eiji. "Eiji, you will plan a C4 on the roof of the cave to make it fall! You must wait until Simon comes out with the sword and Kirito! Once he got out, blow down the cave and we will attack the rest with the army!" Patrick finished as Eiji accepted. "Okay but one question." Eiji started. "What if we get caught? Like I was gonna plan the bomb and they capture me and Kirito! What should we do?" Eiji asked. "We will do plan B!" Patrick started to explain! "We will give you one ear radio! we will be connected and hearing every sound around you with it. If one of your radio gets disconnected we will do Plan B and it's attacking Simon and his army with the special forces!" Patrick said as Eiji and Kirito looked at each others, then Patrick. "You got it then!" Kirito said as they all set up. "Alright gentlemen! Make sure to rest well then..." Patrick said as he stood up, yawned. "Aaaah- We're gonna attack tomorrow so be prepared!" He said as he walked away. Kirito, Eiji and Roxy got up from the table, following Patrick to rest, Eiji was blushing a bit, as he eyes Roxy, he suddenly rememberred Yuna. He got shock, and decided to make a good relationship with her, but how? He never talked to any girl, the only one he talked to was Yuna.

They reached to Patrick room, they got inside and Patrick closed the door behind his back after they got inside. Roxy unzipped her large bag and pulls out her sniper from it. It was a green AWP sniper. "Wow! Nice sniper!" Eiji said to her in smile as Roxy smiled back. "Thanks Eiji, it's an AWP. My favorite sniper. I call her Ma Baby!" She finished while she was putting it on the coach. Kirito walked to the bathroom and grabbed his toothbrush and started brushing his teeth. Once he finished he spitted out the toothbrush creams and cleaned his mouth with water. After that, he pulled up his head and saw a neckless around his neck. He looked down, grabbed the neckless, and there was a small circle metal hanging on it. He opened the metal and saw a family picture of him, Asuna and Sachi when she was just born and Asuna was holding her in her arm. Kirito smiled and held the picture in his hand, closed his eyes. "Goodnight Asuna, Goodnight Sachi." he said in his thought and went outside, ready to sleep.

12 AM, Hotel

Eiji was trying to sleep, but it was so hard for him. He was keeping his eyes opened like an owl. He stood up and saw Roxy wasn't in the room, he was looking at the room for her untill... "Wanna see her?" Kirito said in a whispering voice and Eiji turned to him. "Whatt? No!I mean... nah, I was just wondering if there is a televasion or something like that..." Eiji was trying to lie but Kirito smiled. "I know you want to see her, she's at the hotels cafe." Kirito told him in smile as Eiji took a deep braeth. "Kirito, I don't think I can do it I mean I've... I've never talk to any girl but Yuna... I..." Eiji was feeling nervous.

"At least give a try, you can't be single forever. Just talk like you did with Yuna. Try to make her enjoy what you're saying." Kirito told him in smile as Eiji got nervous "But it's so hard to me... I mean... Since I lost Yuna I... I forgot how to make a good community... You know it's kinda hard to me..." Eiji said while he looked so nervous, Kirito puts his right hand on his shoulder, smiled at him in a friendly look and said... "I know, but it's not bad to prove yoursled, just do what you did with Yuna, make her enjoy your words. If you need help, I'm here to help." Kirito finished in smile as Eiji smiled back. "Thanks bro, I'll do my best" He said as he walked out of the room. He got into the elevator and went to the ground floor, and found the cafe place at his left side. He walked inside and found Roxy was sitting on a table, having a book in her hand and drinks some coffee. She was reading a light novel. Eiji took a deep breath and believed himself that HE can do it!

He sat infront of Roxy on the table, smiled at her. "Don't mind me if I sit here?" Eiji asked as he got so much nervous . Roxy looked at him and smiled. "No sir, I don't mind at all. I would be also happy" She said in a soft and friendly tone. Eiji smiled. "Alright, and please. Call me Eiji." Eiji told her in smile as she took a sip of her coffee. "As you wish Eiji, you can also call me Roxy if you want to." She said and returned on read her book. Eiji looks at her book that wrote a title called "The Lost Girl" as he got an idea. "may I ask what book you're reading?" Eiji asked nicely as Roxy looked up at him. "Sure, wanna sit next to me and read together?" She asked nicely with smile as Eiji stood up and sat next to her. "If you allow me." He said nicely. Roxy looked at her book and started to explain. "This book is about 'fake love'" Roxy started to explain.

"A 17 years old collage girl who was all lonely and sad, she fall in love with her classmate. Her parents didn't care about her, all they did was hitting her and annoying her, they didn't even pay any attention to her, but her classmate did! He told that girl that she's so beautiful and kind. He loved her, took care of her, took her everywhere she always dreamed about and made her wishes come true. She was really in love with him for two years. She turned 19 and they boy turned 23. He asked the girl to marry her, and he girl accepted his request. They got married, she became so happy for living with her lover but oneday... After their first sex after wedding, the girl got pregnant by him. The girl was telling him that she got pregnant and they were about to become a happy family, but he denied it, then he revealed to her that all he wanted her was for money! Her parents gave him a big price to protect her. That day, she realized her parents DID pay attention to her everytime and day, but because of her negative thoughts, she thought that they hated her! The boy kicked the helpless girl out from their house as the innocent girl became homeless in nowhere with a baby inside her womb. She lost everything and everyone who they loved her but she didn't see it. The police didn't even care about her that she was complaining about that boy, after 3 months of being homeless, she jumped under a truck and finished her own life and her unborned child..." Roxy finished as she closed her eyes in sadness while Eiji was listening to her explaining. It was all contained of Eiji's past in SAO and real life. He was a worthless player in SAO and a low rank player in K-O-B group. "I wish I could save that girl..." Roxy said with a tear filled her eyes a bit as Eiji looked at her. "Me too, hey, don't mind me if I add a better ending for this?" Eiji asked her as Roxy looked at him. "What do you mean? You mean like you want to say your own ending about this?" Roxy asked as Eiji smiled. "Yes, cause in the past my life was kinda exactly like hers..." Eiji told her.

"Imagine three months passed, the girl was about to suicide, but suddenly, a man stopped her for being a suicidal. He became her friend and decided to protect her at all cost, he loved her so much from the bottom of his soul and heart. After the child borned, the girl wanted to have revange from that asshole who ruined her life! her new husband was trying to stop her, but she was all blind by vengeance. She killed all of that assholes friends. One by one, until she found that asshole to kill him, but her husband stopped her by sacrificing himself for that asshole and made her to realize that vengeance is not the answer, but forgiveness is a key to stop this suffering. She's feeling so guilty for being a murderer and accepted the law to get in the jail for a long time to accept her punishment. She lost her true lover because of vengeance, she also was about to get executed but her parents saved er by paying the judge, and after she got released, she became the best business woman in her country!" Eiji told her his opinion as Roxy was enjoying it. "WOW! That was awesome!" Roxy said in smile and happiness. "I wish they added this ending By the way, is this really a part of your life? Just wondering because the way you explained was so real!" Roxy asked as Eiji smiled.

He explained to her everything about his past, about SAO, Yuna , his vengeance and prove that he's not a worthless. He told her about Ordinal Scale, what he did to Asuna and other players to bring Yuna back, and explained that he also been used by Dr Shigemura for Yuna, lost her once again for real, everything. Roxy was all listening to every word he was saying, enjoyed. "And yes, I learned my lesson." Eiji ended. 'Because of my vengeance I lost Yuna, and I can't forgive myself for what happened." He finished as Roxy smiled at him. "You tried to bring your lover back, you fought in wrong, I understand, in my opinion that's a true love. You showed your care, but you went into a wrong way to prove yourself, and I am happy that you changed." Roxy told him as they smiled at each others, Roxy liked how gentleman Eiji was. "ohh yeah, wanna drink? Be my guest tonight!" Eiji said in smile as Roxy giggled. "hehe, No need Eiji, be my guest." she said in smile but Eiji denied it with smile. "Nah nah, I can't let you!" he said as they laughed a bit. "Haha." Roxy laughed as Eiji blushed, tried to flirt around a bit for his first time. "You've a beautiful voice to laugh" he said in smile and made Roxy blush a little. "S-shut up it's not beautiful!" She said as Eiji giggled. "hehe, but in my ears, it's so beautiful" He told her as they started to talk more and laughed and drank until 1 AM.

After that, they went back to the room and head to the sleep. Eiji took off his clothes and reveals his abs and six packs while he waas sleeping next to Rosy. They didn't have any sexual activities, they were just sleeping. Eiji heard some noises as he woke up, sees Roxy, cleaning her AWP. Eiji smiled one more time as he closes his eyes slowly and falls in sleep.
