He called out to his beloved. But a sudden turn in events that will lead him to change everything. I made a twist about the two Anime/Novel/Manga. Both from Reki and Nakaba... Enjoy!

2. Chapter 1 - The Incident and His Return

"Asuna... Sorry." As Kirigaya Kazuto formerly known as Kirito or secretly, Meliodas who cleared the Death Game SAO, is now on a verge of death. Lying down in a street on Asuna's arms. Blood spilling out on his stomach, making a puddle of it in the ground, growing until his blood from his body ran out. His clothes dyed red even in his skin exposed to it. His clothes that got stained sticking in. His skin is gradually going pale and becoming soggy as time continues.

Asuna just holds Kirito in her arms. Speechless, eyes widened to the fullest. Sadness and despair aroused on her face, her body stiffened and twitched as she stopped whenever she's doing, time move slowly on her surroundings and her eyes is getting blurry, and feels like her soul would eventually leave her body as she witness an unavoidable shocking moment where she can't process what happened.

Tears starts to run down endlessly on her cheeks unnoticed, holding Kirito with five knives stabbed deep on his stomach in her arms with her clothes also dyed red blood.

Asuna just holds Kirito who trying to catch his breath, unable to move because of a shock that renders him to do so and coughing blood abnormally. She couldn't speak as she can't think of any words right now. So her mouth is leaving hanging open. Her whole body is stiffening and shaking uncontrollably.

After a minute has passed, Asuna starts to move her beautiful lips that becoming dry and wet at the same time, because of her tears reaching on it while licking it, letting out a soft sob yet with warm voice. Looking at Kirito.

"No. No. No. P-please don't do this Kirito-kun!" Her voice trembles as she let out a cry.

She's not alone. Liz, Silica, Suguha, Sinon, Yuuki, Alice and Eugeo are also here, witnessing the horror that still happening right now.

They just stare at Kirito while their faces, that are full of uncertain emotions that they can't realize it's been showing on their pale faces. Shocked, shaking intensively while they're mouths opened widely struck dumbfounded. Some of them closed their mouths by using their hands, as to not let out a scream of terror. Their chest feels tight, becoming more painful as they realized what was gotten in their eyes to see.

They cannot bear that a close friend and the one that saved them all, is getting a treatment that he doesn't deserve. All they can do is to speak on their thoughts "Why?"

"Y-you're not going t-to leave me are you, Kirito-kun?" Asuna thought to her mind. Her heartbeat starts to go faster. Her breathing becomes more unstable. Her mind is breaking down. She suddenly feels weak, as she can't do anything but to hold him tightly and stare at his black eyes.

For Yuuki Asuna. Kirito is Asuna's everything. Her world, her life, her devotion and her body belongs to only one, no one else can ever replace all the things he done for her. She never thought of him leaving her, because he never will.

He's the one who changed her who is her today. Thinking that being stuck on the Death Game SAO was a Fate, a Destiny.

She always weak and acting tough and always finds a way to go back to reality as she cannot bear living in this new life.

But everything's changed when she meets Kirito. A boy that is different than any of the boys she met.

At first she finds him rather annoying and always taking things easy, as if he always living in SAO. But deep down it answers otherwise.

He showed her what it is like to be away at reality. Something that she never experienced. Not in her wieldiest dreams. Yet there they are, living happily.

Because of that, her impressions of him changed, and her thoughts of living in SAO would not be so bad, as this is her dream that she always wanted. But something is missing. She always thought that to her head.

She have freedom in here yes. She can do anything what she want here yes. But she feels like this is not what she want. Something, feels missing...

She think hard and hard enough as she suddenly realizes it.

How could've she'd been so dumb not to realize it.

Realizing that, she can't live a whole life without him in her side. She needs him, as he was the only one who changed her. Screw the freedom. Screw it all. All she want now is that black haired boy. Her heart beats faster, her face went read as tomato when she always thinks of him.

Then she finally knows what she feels and how she felt to that boy.

She loved him.

Without him, she would be nothing as she will always ends up being a prisoner in her mother's hands, who will force her to do anything she don't want. Bound by the chains of never ending sadness of life, ready to give up to her fate.

But then a spark of light of hope, appeared in front of her. When the light rays touch her slender white body, she feels it. The felt of warmth and happiness enveloping her as she never experienced it in her whole life.

Or so she thought.

While she feeling it, she remembers the boy who showed her the feeling of freedom, away from miraculous and harsh reality.

Then a figure in front of the light appeared.

The figure is small, pure black. As the figure is getting bigger, she noticed that big figure is walking, going through her. When the figure is close enough for her to see the figures appearance, she tried to look at the figure properly.

The figure was dressed in black coat, with black pants and black boots with white linings in his clothes. 2 swords lying at his back. A black sword on his right one. And a light bluish sword on his left. Forming a criss cross pattern. His raven black hair swaying as he walks. His black eyes filled with happiness while looking at her. Smiling.

He stopped. Standing in front of her. 1 meter away. And then.

*Cring!*

She heard a sound. A sound that feels like something broke. Then she looked around. She noticed a small piece of metal debris falling, landing on a cement floor, near her feet. Then another little piece of metal starts to fall off. One by one.

She don't know where that come from, so she starts to look to that source. As then, her eyes opened up widened. The source of the metal falling of, was the chains that bounded her for seems like eternally.

She doesn't feel pain nor sadness anymore.

She finally realized it.

Yes.

She was finally freed. She's almost given up , as she expects no one to help her. She balanced her footing, then starts to stand.

Unsure of what to give that boy an expression, tears starts to fall off like a running river as she look up and stare at the person in front of him.

Her heart was filled with many emotions she can't get to let it out all at once. Instead she turned it with a voice that speaks the truth, full of confidence, filled with happiness and hope, converting all of the emotions dwelled up in her heart, calling out his name. Her important person's name. The one that missing in her life.

"Kirito-kun."

And then the boy named Kirito, starts to speak her name while smiling.

"Asuna."

And then, their life continues to go on. He saved her from SAO, then saved her again from a game called, Alfheim Online. Or ALO. After the frequent events. They go to the same school, go on dates, meet up with her old friends while meeting up new, because of Kirito. From GGO to him getting almost killed and trap him in a world where he found an important person in his life, called Underworld.

After a week of finding him.

They finally reunites again.

But this time, Asuna was shocked, Kirito was there. But sitting In a wheelchair. Lifeless and holding two swords. Unable to speak or look to her. He is just like a living body, without a soul. She remembers that day when she reunites with Kirito in her hospital, after he saved her from Sugou, Kirito tells everything what he felts, when he saw her lying unconscious.

She remembered it completely. As if feels like this time, Kirito was now in the same situation like her. But worse. She almost starts to cry but then she holds it back. But after a few minutes, she burst out, running to her loved one. Because she noticed, his body shaking, trying to speak her name but can't make a word as he tries to let out a voice but it keeps cutting off. His one other arm is missing. All he can do is cry as he look at her.

She don't know what kind of suffering that he endured for so long that lead him to this state. She felt guilty. Because he always saved her and always relies on him. And can't give him back anything in return. When she saw him in this state. She can't hold it in anymore. As a return for everything he always do, she needs to save him from his suffering.

It's because not just a return favor.

Because she loved him to her extent.

At the end they finally together again. Adding one new friend of them. From Underworld.

She knew, they always be together till on end. Because that what's she believe. She will never leave him and also he will never do the same.

But she'd thought of one incident with many scenarios of a chance that it will happen. And she ignore it as she thinks it will truly something, that will never occur.

But fate and destiny is not that kind for them.

She overlook something important. As the price for being careless and ignorant, she will have to pay.

By of course, taking someone's most important to her life-

-Away.

And the long awaited repayment is starting.

Klein and Agil are there too. But tying up the 2 men who attacked Kirito. The first man was dressed in white shirt and jeans with black jacket with hood covering his head and his face completely, laughing as he saw Kirito dying. And the other one was dressed in pink jacket with hood, shirtless and wearing an underpants. The man grinning with it's teeth's exposed with eyes glaring at the raven haired boy lying.

Klein and Agil know what happened to Kirito but tries to hold back their tears as they tied the hell of out the 2 men with a rope they found in an alley way near them. Their fists clenched so hard, that the nails of their fingers cuts through the skin of their palms, and let out some blood.

Still nothing sort of something happened. Kirito is dying, Asuna is watching him, and their friends standing still, staring.

When Asuna noticed and turned her face to her friends who are just standing doing nothing, she shouts. Her voice seems it would give out, her lips dry, with a mix of hatred and sadness as her mouth starts to move while shaking.

"D-don't you all stand there! Do something! Kirito-kun is d-d-dying!" Tears still appearing one after another on Asuna's eyes as it runs down on her cheeks into her chin and forms a droplets of it.

She looked back at Kirito whose eyes are staring up in the sky. She shouts with her voice trembling, but with all her might, she gather up her courage to believe that her beloved will surely live. "You will not gonna die here Kirito-kun! Stay with me!" She spoke to the person that she loved in the world, one of her arm that stained with blood supporting Kirito moved onto his cheeks and caressed it. As she do it, the blood also dyed Kirito's cheeks from Asuna's hand that shaking intensively, as she feels them. But she ignored it and keep feeling him as she touch his puffy cheeks added by his own blood touching him that dried on it. Now, it feels rough and slimy while touching him.

Asuna kept thinking that right now the main objective is make sure Kirito will live.

But she don't know what to do, as she never experienced this kind of situation in real life. She's having a second thoughts of if she will use some medical basis they used back in SAO. Asuna knows she need to do it or else Kirito will die.

But as she was about to grab the knives, she faltered. She hesitantly tried to take out the knives that been stabbing Kirito. But she couldn't make a progress, as she stops whenever she tried to touch it. Unsure if she'll damage Kirito more or save him. She's lost in thought. Her hands shaking, her breathing is unstable as she forms sweats aggressively.

She bit her lip as she tries to called her beloved name.

"Kirito-kun! I don't know how to do this Kirito-kun! Help me please! To save you." She cried and cried and closed her eyes for a moment, but nothing happened. She opened her hazel lighting eye's and look at Kirito while sobbing. Her tears turned into droplets as it lands on Kirito's forehead, drippling down to his eye.

But the expression Kirito made is none. His mouth can't move as he tries to catch his breath even his eyes that reflecting light are disappearing slowly. Only now registering in his eyes are only Asuna as his vision gets blurred and hazy.

Signaling that he is on the verge of going to the afterlife.

Still no one dares to talk out loud as the silence is getting the better of them. Lights flickering, cars driving, wind swooshing at the faces of Asuna and make their hairs swirl and swayed intensively with leaves from the trees dancing in the air, guiding by the winds of nature causing them to fly around.

The only one who broke the silence was Eugeo. Clenching his fists as he stood there, thinks that he's going to waste more time and let Kirito die by doing nothing so. He questions them all with his voice echoing through the scene.

"W-what's the number of the Medical Department!? Kirito! Don't you die here!" He picks up his phone from his pocket on his pants, and try to call the department as he speak to Kirito who is becoming a lifeless person by second. He turn on his phone, and click the emergency dial button. But his eyes widen, realized now that, he doesn't know the emergency number of it. He tries to find another way to contact the department, Eugeo then clenched his fists and smacks it into his robotic metallic head, causing some metal sounds reverberates out in the air, echoing throughout the surroundings. With nothing came up, he grits his teeth, then turned around to his friends standing still. As he see them, the first person that caught and appear in his eye, was Yuuki Konno. Asuna's best friend. He run up to Yuuki and put his shaking hand into her shoulders, and asks Yuuki desperately who staring at the horror with her jaw dropped wide, and eyes that fully wet and will almost cry.

Yuuki went back to her senses as she hear Eugeo calling him.

"Yuuki-san! Do you know what is the number of the medical department?" His voice is trembling, frustrated, but still speaks as he knows his best friend needed his help.

Yuuki respond to Eugeo's voice that will seemingly to cry yet hold back. She speaks as she also try hold back her tears and keep her composure.

"I-It's 991! Call the medical department ASAP!"

She tells him the number in a wary voice and dials it. Using his white tone metallic finger like human, he touched the phone's screen causing a sound that makes a dial sound, means he was now typing the numbers 9 then 1 while sweating. He then go and tap again the number 1 on the screen as it appears on the top screen.

Eugeo then lower his metallic finger through the phone, reaching and pointing to the green call button, he then click it. The phone then rings while showing a name and an unknown black figure at the center with the number 9-1-1 at the top. Waiting for someone to answer the call. Eugeo started to walk into circle. Nervously thinking Kirito's state as he focus on the call. 2 minutes has passed. His now starting to sweat aggressively. He grit his teeth's as he becoming more pale. But no one answered. His face turned into frown and his chest hurt. His left hand hold his shirt in the center as he can't shake this painful feeling. Then he tried to redial the number with his fingers shaking violently as he tap the number buttons appearing on his phone and illuminating on his eyes.

He tried to wait again if someone will pick up it. He placed his phone on his right ear closely as he made sure, that when he will hear a voice, it will produces a sound waves and reverberates throughout his ear into his canals going through his Fluctlight, indicating someone now on the other side of the call. He hope so. He never believes in destiny and lucks. Entrusting his fate to his former best friend Kirito.

Sweat continues to develop, sliding down coming through his forehead, to his cheeks. Then got tired of patiently waiting as it did waste more time. He was about to end it by clicking the red hang up button.

But then-

Miraculously, someone picked it up.

As he hears a voice coming out through the phones speakers, he in a high pitched tone with a trembling mouth as he moved it. Talked to the one who pick up the call, talked to the medical department through his phone. After a few minutes, the called ended and Eugeo breathe a sigh of relief. But the pain in his chest still remains. But he don't mind over it now as he focuses his eyes to the person that lying down. He now shouted back to Asuna and to others as well.

"The ambulance is on this way! Now everyone help me! We need to take out the knives that stabbed Kirito!" Eugeo rushed on the scene and helps Asuna remove the 5 knives that stabbed on Kirito's Stomach.

The rest also help as well. They removed the knives engraved on his stomach and tries to stop the bleeding but the blood keeps on coming out. They be extra careful to extracting the knives, as to avoid Kirito suffer any more damage. But, no matter what they do, blood won't stop from coming out. As hell is stopping them to treat Kirito. The faces of Kirito's friends are forming up despair and sadness, sweats starts to develop faster. As if they had no chance of saving Kirito at this time of situation.

This time, Alice examine Kirito's condition by using her retinal scanners on her eyes. Since she's a Fluctlight living in a machine made by RATH, she is the bottom-up AI from the virtual world called Underworld. The Integrity Knight of Axiom Church: Alice Synthesis Thirty.

And the one that was saved.

By of course Kirito.

Saved from the unknown intruders that invaded RATH that tries to steal Alice and use her as an weapon for unknown reasons.

With her body being upgraded, adding new parts as to become equal to a real human, now she can eat, cry, breathe properly and more. Becoming a true human with same privileges. Eugeo is the same too. After Kirito find a way to transfer his Fluctlight, he became just like Alice. Kirito introduced Eugeo, his best friend in Underworld to his friends in real life also to his girlfriend Asuna and to his AI yet daughter, Yui.

They played ALO together, showed them their skills and the way they fought using the reformed Aincrad-Style they added up with the teachings they knew in the academy by going on duo's and battling Asuna and Alice or Subjugating monsters and bosses. Eugeo never felt so happy because now he's with Kirito along with his new friends and most importantly, Alice was there too. Like that is the best day he ever had in his whole life.

But before they came to such a happiness life, the price for it was a never-ending sadness, torture, guilt and despair Kirito had experienced and endured. It was because back in Underworld, he lost his important person in his life, it was his best friend who partner up with him and experience all the things they never felt before.

But fate and destiny was not that merciful. In order to claim such happiness and greatness, it always end up in a hurtful and unavoidable price.

After his rehab at August 16, 2026, Kirito finally went back to his home. Where his cousin and the two parents who adopted him are there. He missed the nostalgic smell of the house, the fine sound of the footsteps when walking inside and his room with all the experiences and where it all started. Kirito is finally at his home, happy. But deep down he never wanted those. All he wish is for his best friend to be by his side, whenever where they are.

Every night, he always spends in his room, crying. Tears endlessly slides into his face and falls down. With his knee's hugging it and his head down on his knees crying time after time after time. As if it feels eternity. Whenever he always cry at night, letting out all the pain he endured in his two years in underworld, at the door that completely shut, in the dark edges inside his room, are illuminating the light outside of his room, in front of the door outside was Suguha. Sticking her ear in the cold shut door, and hearing a faint sobs and his low voice that can be hear outside, muttering "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Eugeo. It's my fault." Many times that she forgot to keep counting. Her chest ache as she can't express what she feels as she hear her brother suffering. Many times in her head, she wants to barge in and comforts him. But she ought not to.

Many days came by, it's still keep on continuing. An endless cycle of Kirito's suffering can't never be end. Whenever he's done crying, he always act like nothing happened and go on with the rest of his nights are peaceful. Suguha noticed it as she always. She have no choice but to call Asuna and ask her to came over for dinner. And talk about Kirito's condition.

September 3, 2026, 6:30PM

Asuna came over to the Kirigaya residence, with her red long skirts and a black tights covering her long slender legs with. her foot was covered with a bunny white boots. And for the top is a cute pink shirt, exposing her cute white arms as she placed her hand at the doorbell and press it.

With a *ding* *dong* sound, someone footsteps can be heard as it become louder and closer. A voice that sounds so feminine can be heard saying "I'll get it!" While walking in front the door and opening it.

As she opened it, her eye's registered the figure of a girl standing outside, waving her hand with a "hello" and smiles at her.

"Asuna! Good Evening! You're just came on time. We're going to start dinner." She extend her 2 arms, as she walks up to Asuna and placed her arms on her shoulders with her hands, going through the back of her.

As Asuna was being hugged by Suguha, she greeted back by saying as she moved her blossom lips "Good Evening too Suguha-chan. Thanks for having me" and hugs her back.

After that, she let Asuna in and walk through the dining room where they're eye's are fixated on some magnificent foods that got served upon the table.

She now moved her eyes to Suguha as she drooling on the food as just now served. Asuna giggled a bit, seeing Suguha drooling like that feels funny. Suguha came back to her senses as she look at Asuna.

"Ah! Sorry about that." She put her hands on her lips as she clean her drool in her face and Asuna just laughs on it. Then after that. Asuna asks Suguha a question the will come her back to her senses.

"By the way Suguha-chan. Where is Kirito-kun?" She asks happily, blushing as she wants to see her boyfriend. She really can't miss a day without her seeing him. Even they're always meet up in ALO to bond together, or through phone with messages or FaceTime, she can't get enough Kirito in her life. That's how much love Asuna have to Kirito. But that's a small portion of it.

After Suguha hears Asuna's question, her expression changed, her happy hungry face are now full of worriedness, her smile drops and letting out a small sigh. She walked up to the stairs quietly. After she make up a few steps, she look at Asuna who's showing a confusion on her face.

"Come with me Asuna. I'm going to show you something." Her expression seems nothing as she turned back and walk up the stairs quietly. Asuna just nodded and follows Suguha into the next floor quietly. She don't know what's happening but as she saw Suguha's face, she frowned.

As Asuna walk upstairs, she saw a door completely shut. Then her face turn to Suguha with a doubtful and questionable face. Suguha sighed and spoke to Asuna with a low tone.

"The door's locked but stick your ear in the door quietly."

Asuna nodded to Suguha's words. She can't understand why would she do that but the expression Suguha made seems serious, Asuna is aware that, the door she's going to eavesdrop is her lovers room. She don't know why she's being ordered to do that, but if there is a problem regarding Kirito, then she should be involved and help him out. She obeyed and do what she orders to.

As soon she land her ear to the wooden, rough and cold door, her eyes widened, her chest ached and hurts, almost let out a gasp like something uncomfortable is happening within that door, as she listening to the unknown sound in Kirito's room.

Asuna's eyes feels almost wet as if she would be crying anytime now, while listening to the other side of the door. All she can hear is Kirito. Crying loudly and muttering "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please forgive me" And more. She didn't know about this. Does Kirito-kun tell me this? Deep in thought, she feels concerned on what's happening on Kirito. Then Suguha butts in and explained the real reason she was called here.

"Apparently, Onii-chan, every night keeps on crying and crying and always muttering "I'm sorry" on and on to someone. I-I can't hear the person's name he was mentioning, but it feels Onii-chan is heavily affected and damaged by it."

Asuna's mouth opened partially, eye's full of concernedness, worriedness, and something that she needs to do for Kirito. But all she can do now was stay shocked and listen to Suguha's explanation.

"And when's he going down from his room, I always asked him 'What's the problem Onii-chan?' And 'Why are you crying?' Like that. Then the answer all I getting from his was 'Nothing. Don't worry about it.' Like that."

Asuna shrugged from Suguha's explanation. Her heart hurts more. She don't know what to do about Kirito as he never done this before. If he's have a problem, he always tells Asuna about it. But the thing Asuna worried to is, why didn't he tell her his problem?

As they were talking, the door knob clicks. They were both stuttered in surprise and runs down to the dining area and sit on the chairs and act like nothing happened.

After a whole minute, Kirito comes down to eat. Despair, sadness come be found on his fake smile, his face are pale. And his body are almost dry. Then he sat up in the chair and greets Asuna with his fake smile as he continue wave his hand.

"Ah hey Asuna. Came here to eat with us?" Still smiling but Asuna never fall from his fakings. All he could see on Kirito was sadness with a mix of tiredness on his face. There's a hint of tears from his eyes. It was clear as a blue sky. He indeed is suffering from something. Asuna needed to at least talk to him and have conversation with him. But after that, they need to have dinner as Kirito's aunt and his acting mother Midori was now in the table as she place all the foods on the table, and started to pray and eat.

20 minutes have passed and they're done. Kirito was now going back upstairs with Asuna, until he was interrupted by her. Looking at him with concerned looks with her hands on her chest.

"Kirito-kun. Can we talk in your room?" Her voice trembles, her face stiffened as she looks to Kirito.

"Huh? Why?" Kirito looks at Asuna dumbfounded. Asuna still carry on the conversation.

"Please. This is important. This is regarding of you Kirito-kun." Kirito just stand there. With a questionable look but when he saw Asuna's eyes with full of wet tears, he knows this is serious so he gulps as he nods at Asuna. She breathe a sigh of relief and as she about to take a step upstairs, they hear a sound of *Ding* *Dong* echoing through the house.

Kirito was surprised. He get back down from the stairs and goes through the door while walking clumsy. He was now in front of the door, with Asuna next to him. He touched the door knob and twist it. When he opened the door, what he found and saw from his eyes where a long rectangular shaped covered brown box . The height of this said box, was nearly from his chest. He looks at the surroundings and find no one. With a cautious expression, he still take in the box. He closed the door causing a loud sound. As He turned back when he closed the door, he looks at Asuna who put her finger on her lips with a confused look while scratching his back hair.

"Is that a package Kirito-kun?" Asuna questions him while she was worried down on Kirito and he just nods. He take the package along with Asuna through his room, placed the package at his bed and Asuna closes and locks the door.

Now this is the chance to ask him about his problem. Asuna thought to her head, while Kirito was checking the rectangular box. Then after a minute, Asuna gather up her feelings and breathe with her hands in her chest. Then he questions Kirito on what's bugging on her head the most.

"Kirito-kun is there a problem with you?" With the question, Kirito just still keep checking the box and ignores Asuna. He knows what she's talking about and it will be best, he avoid it at all costs, by saying.

"What? No. I don't have a problem. What's with you Asuna?" He laughed a bit and continues on opening the box. Asuna still knows Kirito avoiding it. She noticed his hand jerked when she ask it. While his fingers are shaking violently as he destroy the covering of the box. Silenced fill the room with a rough atmosphere. But Asuna will never back down. She need to know her lovers problem, as it is her part to be his Girlfriend and his future Wife.

Asuna noticed Kirito motives and breaks the silence barrier by questioning him again.

"Suguha says that, every night, you're always crying and crying. And muttering "I'm sorry" to someone." With her eyes focusing on Kirito, she was still ignored while Kirito opening the long package. Asuna continues to question him once more.

"Tell me Kirito-kun, is there something troubling you? I can help you if you talk about it." Asuna just stood there bearing something she can't understand while she expects Kirito to ignore her, but suddenly Kirito spoke.

"Sorry but I don't want to." His voice are in a monotone one, Asuna stiffens but still continue to talk about it.

"Kirito-kun you're my boyfriend. If something bugging you, we can work it out. We promised that right?" Tears starts to fall on Asuna's eyes, her hands shaking, she doesn't seem to realize it as she starts to grill on Kirito.

"Please talk to me Kirito-kun. No matter what the problem is, I can understand it. I've been with you for long enough, and I know that we can overcome what lies ahead." Asuna keeps her courage to the top. But Kirito talks back with his voices trembles as he starts to whimper.

"You wouldn't... GET IT!" He paused for a moment, as he thinks of something that he always felt. Then in order to forget it, the last part made Kirito to shout. Which something she can't do to Asuna. Causing Asuna to jump back, startled. She couldn't hold back her feelings anymore, so she let it all out.

"Why? Why wouldn't you tell me!? I told you I always be there with you! We! We can take this problem! No matter what lies ahead, we will never betray each others feelings! so LET ME GET THROUGH YOU!" She finally done it. She released all of her pent up feelings and shout at Kirito who now intensively, holding back his tears and, making his face distort.

Silence befall against these two. Asuna's who shouts at Kirito, are now breathing heavily as she was tired because of excess output of her voice raising up to her limits, and make her mouth feel pain in her vocal chords.

As for Kirito who still holding it back, finally opened the brown covered box. After the covered was tattered apart, a figure of a rectangular box appeared before Kirito. It was a glassy box same length and made out of purely glass, registered in Kirito's eye's. He gasped softly as he don't want to let Asuna hear it. Then with his rough hands, he enclose the distance with his fingers to the box, touching it.

Then as he touches it, inside the box there was an object. A figure. A long big object like stick. Lying down on some soft feather pillows. As Kirito's eye's examining the object inside it, he let out a big gasp. What appear before him, was not an object nor a stick, but it was-

A Sword.

A sword sheathed to it's scabbard. The color of it was made out of like almost blue, but with a light color mix to it. In the handling point was colored to it too. While the above it was the hilt, it was shaped differently than any of the swords he have. It was carved like a rose. Or purely a rose. All of it's features are blue and it's scabbard. Then as for Kirito's expression, he was shocked. His eye's widened. He can't let out a sound from his mouth as he can't talk properly. He was speechless. Seeing what was before him. Suddenly, he remembered his adventures with his best friend in Underworld, the encounter, the good, happy and bad moments, the training and-

His death.

All memories resurface again. Causing Kirito to jerked and stiff. Then he realize, that this sword that supposed not to exist in this world. Was here, he known it. This blue sword was owned by his late best friend whom he will never forgot.

This blue sword:

《Blue Rose Sword》

Was from his best friend.

Eugeo.

He opened the box. His face was unable to hold it back anymore. Seemingly will cry as tears starts to drop by, one after another. He lift the sword. The heaviness are still the same, back when he use it. Then he holds it with his two arms, hugging it. Then he sat there, in silence.

He let out a wimping small cry as he hugs the blue sword tightly. Feels like it is an hallucination that will go away in seconds. Then after a minute of quiet cry, he spoke to Asuna.

"Y-you w-want to know w-what is my problem?" He let out a voice that sounds wimpy and trembling, with filled of sadness, guilt and despair. He then faced Asuna who her eye's closed and crying non-stop, while holding the blue sword.

After she heard Kirito, she again tries to shout at him back while opening her eye's after she wipes out her tears from crying.

Just as she almost shouts back again, she was met with Kirito's eyes tears falling down through his cheeks like a waterfall, nonstop. Holding a blue sword at his arms tightly.

Her eye's widen gasping in shock, speechless as she stare's at the shining in the moonlight blue sword. She then look to Kirito who is sobbing frantically. Asuna's heart was filled with sadness and regret by looking at Kirito who is still holding the blue rose in his arms. Asuna asks Kirito on what's on her mind.

"K-Kirito-kun. W-what is that? I-Is that a sword" Her jaw was hanging open. Kirito spoke something on Asuna that so low, she can't heard it.

"Ca...bri...ak...life?" His voice is so low and cracking that Asuna can't know what's going on so, she ask out a question confused.

"Wha-what do you mean K-Kirito-kun?" Her face shows sadness as she don't know what to do. Regrets, that she shouts back at Kirito while she doesn't know the meaning of his problem. Then Kirito without a doubt shouts back at Asuna, as he can't take it anymore and let his feelings go wild.

"T-then. CAN YOU BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE?" He said as his voices trembling. He shouts after he gathering up the words he want to say. Asuna was just stood there shocked and speechless, she don't know what's going on so she's just say "Huh? What d-d-do you mean Kirito?"

"I said, CAN YOU BRING EUGEO BACK TO LIFE?" His legs can't support him anymore so he stumbles and fall to the floor. on knees. He just whimpered and said "if you can bring Eugeo back to life. Then" he faltered a bit and hesitantly asks the last words. But he need to do it for as he needs answers. Asuna just watching Kirito gathering up his words. And finally spoke it.

"Th-then p-p-please... Bring Eugeo back to me Asuna. Just one wish is all I want, Asuna. I want EUGEO BACK!" he finally lost it, he whimpered then he shouts the last bit signaling his despair getting the better of him. Asuna just cried there and run over to Kirito.

"Please Asuna. Please. I miss Eugeo... Please bring him back." He finally calmed down as he sobs and down his head on the floor. Still sobbing he spoke to Asuna once more.

"I don't know what to do Asuna. I l-lost him. It's all my fault. I lost my whole best friend in the world. I don't know if I want to live anymore. I lost him. I lost him Asuna. Kirito clenches his teeth as he closed his eye's, resting his whole body on Asuna.

"I'm sorry Kirito-kun. I'm sorry for shouting at you. Please forgive me please. I'm sorry I didn't know that you lost someone important in your life in that world. I'm so so sorry Kirito-kun!" Asuna cries along with Kirito who she regrets what she said as she don't know what suffering and pain he had on Underworld, as she learns that a person that meant to him more like her are lost and can't be bring back. She literally regret shouting at Kirito without thinking of what he'd been through.

Kirito just whimpered. Muttering to Asuna "He's gone Asuna. He's... gone. My best friend. Eugeo." Asuna holds him tightly as she keeps Kirito on her arms and he let it all out through his heart. Silence befall on them again. But it lasted a several minutes, only leaving the darkness and the moon with the streets lights illuminating the whole room, showing the two crying in each other, while Asuna kept kissing Kirito on his cheeks.

Suddenly a blue light illuminates the whole room. Broking the silence and destroying the darkness spread around the room, out shining the moonlights and the streets lights like in a competing of who's more shinier.

They stop on what they doing and look at the source of it's light.

Their eyes widen as the light source came from Eugeo's sword.《Blue Rose Sword》

Asuna was amazed and gasped at the phenomenon she's seeing. Her heart finally subside, as she feels something so lukewarm and caring. Then after that she looks on Kirito whose hand slowly approaching the sword. Muttering his best friend name. "E-Eugeo?" finally his hand and the sword finally make contact and suddenly the light shined brightly and engulfed the two with it's blinding light.

The two opened their eye's as they see the surroundings all nothing but black. Asuna keeps rotating her head as to find some light to repel back the darkness that surrounded them. she got so scared, he hold on to Kirito who staring on something far away in one point. She then looks at it too. Then noticed a small light that gradually growing by second. After a 2 whole minutes the light that eradicating the darkness are finally engulf it. Asuna saw something incredible. All she saw was a door so big, that it is the size of a one big room, and a sofa at the center of the room. And at their backs was facing a window, outside of it are some trees and a wall.

Asuna can't really gets what is going on but she kept asking "What is this place?" then as she was grabbing a book in a table, she can't move a muscle legs and feet's except her upper body and her arms. Then she heard a sound that came from Kirito. She looks at him and, on what she see on Kirito, was utterly shocked. His eyes widen to the fullest. His mouth completely opened to the fullest. And seems he is lost at words. Asuna was doesn't really get what's going on so she ask Kirito.

"Hey Kirito-kun. What is this place?" She answered with questionable looks. Then Kirito finally responds with his heart that feels joy nostalgia and happiness.

"Th-this is the academy where I studied for t-two years." Kirito said it where his small smile written on his face. All Asuna could do is smile at her lover and hugs him. With her thought So this would be the memories of Kirito-kun? Still unanswered all she would do is watch as the event goes on.

Then the two finally heard a loud footstep coming outside, growing closer and louder. Then the door pushed open and appeared on Asuna and Kirito's eyes was a two girls who panting in exhaustion because running down the hallway.

Then a girl spoke.

---

"That's all I can remember on that part." Someone spoke. Feels like, he's talking to someone. He smiled, showing his joyful face.

"It's okay Cap'n. Continue on what you can remember" Another voice seems to speak. Then the other just nod and continued.

---

After Alice examined Kirito's condition, Alice went pale, eyes full wide. She called to Asuna but hesitated to explain Kirito's condition to her because she knows what will happen next. Until Asuna noticed Alice's expression, Asuna asks Alice with concerned and a mix of despair and sadness on her face.

"Alice! What's his condition? Tell me!" Asuna shouts at Alice as she hold Kirito tightly. Alice can't hold it in anymore. They need to know it. She speaks in a trembling voice as she bites her lips.

"H-he lost to much blood. His internal organs are damaged severely. H-he can't make it to the hospital, his heartbeat is dropping and his pulse is weakening. W-with his condition h-he's going to di-"

As she almost finished the last word, Asuna shouts back to Alice. Denying what she said.

"No! He's not going to die here! He's not! He's not... right?" Asuna couldn't accept what was happening before her eyes, so she tried to deny the truth but she stopped, leading her anger into sadness as she starts to realize it.

Is this real Kirito-kun? Are you going to leave me all alone again? Asuna can't hold her thoughts in her mind anymore. Many thoughts of Kirito leaving her residing up in her mind, causing her to lose focus and feel dizzy. But she never gave it in. She tries to keep her consciousness to hold Kirito in her arms and to prove that it's all in her mind, nothing more.

As the others realized that, they frowned, despair came as they can't believe of what's happening as they try to keep Kirito conscious. They start to mutter because they can't take accept the fact that they can't do anything.

"N-no way, don't tell me Kirito is-" Liz muttered as she stares to Kirito and Asuna while stopping the blood. She frowned and tears starts to appear as she can't deny the reality before her eyes.

"No, p-please god!" Silica as she puts her both hands in her mouths as she watched her friend lying down full of blood everywhere. Her legs shaking, she let out many grasps as she can't do anything but watch as time runs. After a few minutes, her legs can't support her body anymore, therefore she fall to the ground, her butt lands on the street cement.

Causing silica to let out a shabby voice.

"Kirito." Sinon as she helps Kirito, tears started to get the better of her. After that she starts to sob uncontrollably. Her arms are tired for putting her hands with a handkerchief on his stomach and eventually gave up. All she can do now is call his name.

"O-oni-chan, no, no, NO!" Suguha as she shouts witnessing her brother dying in front of her, her head feels dizzy and without a doubt, she lost consciousness and stumbled to the ground. Alice noticed Suguha faints and tries to wake her up.

"Kirito, don't give up yet! Asuna is still here for you." Yuuki clasp her hands on her chest with eyes closed with little tears forming up on the edge of her eyes, as she prays and wish for Kirito to survive.

Eugeo still desperately stopping Kirito's blood from coming out as he bet on a small number of Kirito surviving even if its impossible now. Tears starts to run down on Eugeo's eyes as he watches Kirito look up in the sky. Despair starting to form on his face, but he hadn't give yet and let out some words of encouragement.

"Don't give up Kirito! You save me right? You save me and Alice, so DON'T DIE ON THIS KIND OF THING!" From soft voice that like came from the light breeze of air now becomes a high pitched shout ran through the surroundings as Eugeo shouts towards Kirito. Can't process what happened to him from the start. But all he know is Kirito dying, so he put that thought aside and focus on the big picture.

No one remembers what happened to Kirito.

Or so they thought.

"He can't go on. You need to let go Asuna." Alice spoke. It clearly shows on her face the signs of giving up. As she can't do anything. If the basic system command from underworld exists here, then there's would be a chance that Kirito will survive.

But this is the real word.

No magic can live up to it's place.

Alice touched Asuna's shoulders which she clearly knew the truth. So instead of more retorts, she's just glanced at her with a sad look on her face. Full of guilt, sadness and hatred. Then she now glanced back on Kirito, whose eye's seems doesn't replicate any light on it. In his perspective, now that he can't move because of loss of too much blood, he lost his ability to see as his eye's finally died out.

Asuna just watch him, mumbling as tears running up on her eye's. Her mouth twitching as she can't came up a word and say it, only his name. Then something touched her cheeks. It's neither Alice or her friends, instead-

It was Kirito.

Asuna's face jerked as she feels Kirito's warm yet cold hands. She's feeling the warmth of his boyfriend one last time. Then she saw Kirito's mouth moving. She doesn't know what he said, so she lean on down and let her ear close on to Kirito's mouth as she heard some sounds came through Kirito. Then at that chance, Asuna teared up once more as she hear her beloved voice once last time. 2 words reverberate through Asuna that, she will kept it in her heart and never forgot it. That word came from Kirito was.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

"Thank you. Asuna."

At that, Kirito's left hand that still touching Asuna that seems he doesn't want to let it go, finally lost it's strength to lift it and fall off to the ground. Causing a small *thud* at the impact of his hand at the cement. His body stops shaking, his bleeding wounds stopped. His body is cold as ice. Kirito's lifeless eye's are looking at Asuna but his whole face was smiling directly at her. The way he smiles, feels like Kirito has no regret before he die as he saw her Girlfriend one last time. And the final face he would see.

Asuna was speechless. Shocked. Filled with despair, guilt, sadness and agony as she stare at Kirito's lifeless corpse.

She only could do is call his name.

"Kirito-kun?"

Once more.

"Hey Kirito-kun?"

Again.

"Kirito-kun?"

Again.

Again, and again.

But he didn't respond.

Her heart feels something she doesn't know. Pain mixed with guilt and despair as she starts to twitch.

"K-Kirito-kun. Y-You're kidding right?"

"T-there's n-no way you would leave me right? Kirito-kun?"

She asks and called out to his name. But none of those seems to reached to him. His only expression was happy. Smiling, eye's opened, lifeless, staring at her. That is the only reaction she could get from him. Well because...

.

.

.

.

.

.

He's dead.

Asuna starts to whimper. Her voice is trembling. Filled with sadness, then she hugged Kirito and starts to call him once more.

"P-please Kirito-kun! Open your eyes! Please!" She shakes him. Slap him. Kiss him. But nothing worked. She finally lost all hope. The Kirito that she loved the most, was gone.

Her friends stood there, Crying. Agil, Klein and Eugeo clenches their hands, as they're stare at the lifeless Kirito. Crying endlessly like a waterfall. The girls seems do too. Suguha falls of her balance and mumble "Y-you're kidding right?" As she feels like this is a joke. The others just covered their face with their hands, as to not show their mess up watery faces. As they're one and only savior, was gone in an instant.

Asuna stood there. Crying eternally. Then, suddenly something like a rope, finally snapped. Indicating she lost it.

Then.

A loud sound could be heard.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Asuna's scream was loud and intense that every other neighbor could hear it. She was screaming at the top of her lungs for a minute before stopping down and continues to sob and call out to her beloved name who wouldn't respond.

---

April 15th, 2027 6:29PM.

30 Minutes Ago.

Kirito and the gang are at the dicey café where Agil works at and used as a hangout place for everyone.

As they left at that place they started walking down through the station and head back home.

Kirito and Asuna are at the front of the others, holding hands and as Asuna rests her head on Kirito's shoulders, Liz glare at the two lovers a terrifying glare with a mix of envy and jealousy.

"Those two lovebirds, they are having a lovely dovely at the café, and now here?" Liz as she balls her hands and grits her teeth annoyingly. Seems she's holding her guts as she watching them flirt at the café. Yeah only at the café because she need to respect the two lovers the way they are but at the outside, they really have the wits to do that. and now Liz can't take it anymore, she starts to grab Asuna and Kirito's head only to be stopped by Silica.

Why you stop me? Liz thought to his head glaring with it's eyes like a lion at Silica.

Silica frowned, because she knows that this is Liz talking to here. If she says one wrong word or sentence, she's done. So Silica coughs a few times to find some words that will soothes Liz. After that she starts to speak.

"Now, now Liz-san. I know you can't take it anymore because you can't find a boyfriend, but don't take it out on Kirito-san and Asuna-san." Silica smiles as she patted Liz back.

Liz shrugged. Retorting to "but, but they're do-" As soon she speaks, she's got interrupted by Sinon. Smirking, Sinon said a word to Liz regarding her failure to finding a boyfriend.

"It's okay Liz. I know you will find one soon. Just it's not the time. Besides we have Klein here." Still smirking, Sinon also pat Liz back and points at Klein who walking merrily as he saw Sinon points at him. He blushed and look away and speaks in a shyly way.

"W-why are you two talking about me? W-well if it's for you Liz I'm okay to be your boy-" Klein let out some squeaky voice when Liz punched him in the balls.

Klein falls down, shaking as he holds his balls with his two hands. Then he shouts at Liz who glaring at him.

"W-why did you do that for?" Klein said as he still shaking from the damage he get from Liz. Then Liz let out some words that instantly kill Klein.

"You? Becoming my boyfriend? Sorry Klein but I'm not into old guys." As she said while smiling at him. Klein realized that something behind Liz but doesn't know what kind of. He was sure, that some nasty sinister aura possessing her. So he startled and gulped as he just nods and sulk.

Everyone laughs as they saw Klein sulking down, face covered while muttering "Kill me." Then after a minute, Agil picks up Klein and says "That's what you get." Sighing hard.

Kirito and Asuna look at each other and smiles and go back to their flirting again. But this time Eugeo interrupted them.

"Ah Kirito. After we went home, can we login at ALO?" Eugeo asks with serious look on his face. Kirito rotates his head, his raven hair swaying as he turn, seeing Eugeo at his right side. Concerned, Kirito shows an questionable face.

"Yeah we can, but why insist logging up early?" Kirito said. Eugeo's eyes are sparkling so bright that Kirito can't avoid. Then he look up to Kirito with serious look, then give him a straight up answer.

"Ehhh you see, before we called criminals back in Underworld, I forgot to tell you that I need to have a practice with you." Eugeo smiled shyly as he look at Kirito. Then Kirito put his left fingers on her chin, signaling his mind thinking. After a minute of remembering of what Eugeo said, he let out a surprised tone and looks at Eugeo again.

"Ahhh! I remember that you're gonna show me on how much you mastered using my skill 《Vorpal Strike》then adjusting a few movements to be an inferior to mine." Said Kirito. Eugeo's face lights up.

"Yes! Well after you showed me some of your Aincrad-Style skills, I feel like I need to adjust or you know, modify them to be my own so called skill." Eugeo said as he clenched his fists and bump it into his another hand. Then Kirito nods to his request.

"Then that's settled. Let's see if my student can show amazing growth, then surpass it's own master." As he smiles back at him and let out some energized look. Asuna just look at Kirito, curious on what they're talking about. Mostly when she heard Aincrad-Style. So she butt in.

"Ah, Kirito-kun, what do you mean by Aincrad-Style?" Asuna just look at him with an expression that will make Kirito frown. So he explain it to Asuna what he means.

"W-well, I teach Eugeo the way of swordsmanship and teach him some of my skills I got back in SAO. Remember that we showed them to you?" As Kirito speaks, his left hand rubs his back head and sweats. Asuna smiles at Kirito and hold him tightly.

"I see! So that's why he's your student and you're the master huh. Well got no problem with that." As she smiles, Kirito looks at Asuna. Still frowned. "Feels like I've feel this tension before." Kirito thought to his head as he looks at Asuna, smiling sadistically. Kirito faces down the road in front of them laughing nervously. Then Alice walks up beside Eugeo and joins in.

"Kirito. Can you teach me that you're so called Aincrad-Style?" Kirito looks at Alice. Her golden long hair swaying as they walk. Then looks up to Alice face. Her blue sapphire eyes shows him that she's serious. As he starts to speak, Asuna grabs Kirito arm and pull him down. Causing Kirito to shriek and Asuna's face turned to Alice with her hazel eyes glaring at Alice's blue sapphire eyes.

After that, Asuna's glaring face turned into a smile. Looking at Alice, she speaks.

"Then I'll be the one who will teach you. From now on you're my student, I'm the master." Asuna puff her cheeks to show her motivation to teach Alice. But little did they know that it was to prevent Kirito to fall for Alice schemes. And got a little bit jealous because she doesn't have a student that can teach some basic of the basics. So she took that an opportunity. It's a win-win situation for Asuna.

But Alice noticed Asuna's, intentions so she smirked and ask Asuna.

"Hey Asuna. When I'm with Kirito, why are you so overprotective?" Alice still smirking with it's face glaring at Asuna. Then the heat becomes more hotter as Asuna smiles daringly. She speaks with her mouth that feels like it will explode.

"Why? Well, because he's my boyfriend. And it's my duty to prevent any girls from touching or having a flirty time with him." As Asuna glared to Alice, her hands holding Kirito becomes more and more tightly, causing Kirito to flinch and let out some shrieks once more. Then Asuna speaks again.

"Besides, you have Eugeo right? So why fawn all over to Kirito if you have his best friend? No matter what you do, I will not let Kirito taken away by some android machine girl."

Because of Asuna's unbendable love for Kirito, Alice shocked, speechless but recovered. It's all written to her face that she can't believe on Asuna and annoyed. But she then starts to smirk once more.

Alice holds Eugeo's waist and pull him to her causing Eugeo to blush. Alice looks at Eugeo and kiss him, causing Eugeo's face to turn even more redder than before. His cheeks felt a smooth sensation and his mind suddenly goes off somewhere. Forgetting what happening right now. Alice looked at Asuna again and smiled as she speaks.

"Don't worry. I have Eugeo, I love him. So don't sweat now. It's not like I'll take Kirito from you. I just asking to be his student, that's all." Alice smiles widely and let out some Ara-ara noises. Teasing Asuna.

Asuna found it annoyingly. But she nodded unsure to what to say. But keeps her smile on, not exposing her ruptured looks. "T-this girl! Is she seducing Kirito-kun on Underworld?" Then Kirito gets up and hold Asuna on her waist then pulling her closer to him and reassure her.

"Don't worry. Nothing happened between us. If I chose between you two, I'll definitely choose you. No hesitation." Kirito smiles at the worried Asuna, causing her to feels like her worriedness are gone. Then Asuna looks closer to Kirito and speaks as she put her left hand on his right cheeks.

"Me too. Kirito-kun. You're my everything, you're my world. So don't leave me anymore. Stay by my side. Forever." Asuna smiles frantically, causing Kirito's heart to throb once more. Then as they're faces grew closer and closer, leading them to kiss once more.

They're lips murmured and touched one other. They felt their saliva's transferred to each others mouth. As they kissed longer. Their tounges meet, the sensations becomes more hotter and bold as they keep it longer, twisting it as their taste each others saliva. But they did not bother it. They feel like they're soul are connected to one another.

After a whole two minutes, they finally broke and their foreheads are touching one after another. With their hands touching one others cheeks. Then Kirito turns back to Alice who is mouth opened widely, speechless and blushing red as he saw them kissed, along with Eugeo who never witness anything, as he drift off into his own world.

Kirito speaks and warn Alice with a smile.

"Alice don't tease Asuna that much. Because if you do. Karma is right around the corner. Just like what happened now." Kirito just smiles at Alice whose face is whole red and looking away at the two lovebirds, her eyes widened, starts fidgeting and wiggle her waist. She look to Eugeo who still drifting off somewhere.

Asuna looks at Alice and chuckles. Smile was only can be found at Asuna's face. Then she spoke.

"See? Kirito-kun's eyes will only look at me. And only me." She says as she rest her head to Kirito's shoulders again. Kirito blushed as he heard Asuna's beautiful voice as she talks about him.

Alice sighed and laughs as she looks at Eugeo and snaps her fingers, snapping Eugeo back to his senses. Shocked, Eugeo place an questionable voice and worriedness in his expression as he examine his surroundings.

"W-w-what have I missed?" Still confused, Eugeo looks at Kirito who is smiling along with Asuna. Couldn't still get it, he then looks at Alice staring at him. Their eyes met. Causing Eugeo to stare at her, he was captivated at Alice beautiful face, with her snowy white skin along with her golden hair swaying. Same with Alice who is getting red time by time as she looks at Eugeo. His emerald eyes with his flaxen hair also swaying, she was captivated on how good Eugeo's face has.

After a minute, Kirito coughed, causing the two to jump on surprise as they hold each other. Causing the two to blush more.

Then after that, when he turned around looking at the road in front of him he got-

---

"And that's all I can remember when I died." He smiled. But his face shows clearly depression and sadness. But, still keep his face lit up as though, they not notice his expression with intent.

Right now, he was inside of a tavern with a built in wooden tables. Along with wooden chairs, hanging upside down and placed on the rough yet fined quality wooden table. There's also a counter table with chairs also hanging upside down. Next to it was a kitchen with the wooden mugs and metallic plates placed in a dispenser.

But he doesn't remember most of his memories because, it was a long time ago. Mostly the aftermath of the events happened back then, and how he died.

Everyone went completely silent as their Captain, tells his whole story and how he got reincarnated here.

Everyone stares at Meliodas. Unknown feelings reside them, such as pity, sadness, despair and more. Some of them are almost on the crying state. Their eye's widen as they hear his unimaginable story until the end.

They kept quiet. Only can be heard are the wind gushing on the windows, while the windows create a *shriek* sound, as the wind keep pushing them in 2 directions. And the sound of the birds and owls flying in the peaceful night.

Then someone broke out the silence.

"Hey Cap'n." Someone called out to me. And I respond.

"Yeah ban?" I respond with a voice that seems childish and serious at the same time, while I turn at him with a smile on my face.

There shows a man with a grayish-blue hair and a villainous looking face. He's much more taller than I am, for, I'm a midget. He's more toned. He's wearing a red jacket that seems, expose most of his body. And a red pants shining through the end.

He is one of the member of the Seven Deadly Sins.

《Fox Sin of Greed》Ban the undead.

Ban got a questionable look with a grin on his face and ask me.

"Lemme get this straight. So you're telling me" Ban inhales for a moment as to prepare his unlogistic question. And as he exhale, he spoke with a serious tone.

"You lived as a normal human, with no magic, in a different world before this and got killed?" With a curious look, ban glare at me with a confusion.

"Yeah. That's what I am, before the me in this world." I spoke with my face looking down. My messy yellow hair swaying as the wind goes by. Then ban look at me and said.

"That's how life works, Cap'n." With ban usual serious tone, I'd say he's really taking this seriously. Then I respond to his statement.

"Well I know that. And now I've been cursed, and still living on for 3000 years. And till this day. I'm still worried about her." With my face still looking down, I spoke with really serious tone. Ban noticed how I feel and he give me a pat in the back.

"It's okay to be that worried, Cap'n. But you know, you'll just to keep on living for her sake. Also with how your current situation, you're far stronger than the Demon King itself, when his at full power. So basically, you're a god among us. You know that?" Ban spoke with his face still looking at me smiling.

His red eye's shows how he feels when I tell them the story about my previous life. He really can relate. I look up to see ban giving me a thumbs up, with his beer on his hand. Then I smiled and said.

"Thanks ban." Then, I see ban nods at me, and go back to his chair and drink his Averdeen Ale.

Then another voice speaks up.

"So in your previous life Captain, you're living in a world, where magic doesn't exist and instead, you're so call technology are keeping the humans at the world alive?" A voice so calm and less manly spoke. I look up to see King with his non-fairy form giving me a question and looks at me with sympathy.

His light short brown hair also swaying along with his usual blue yellow shirt with a hood on it. His orange colored eye's reminds me of Asuna's hazel eye's as they're almost in similar color. I nodded to him smiling. While his eye's widened with it, it's like he was surprised in an occasion he didn't get involved in.

"But also you have an important person in that world right? Your lover?" Another voice seem to spoke. I turned around to see Diane looking at me, which her outfit is a orange one. Exposing her slender meat full legs, and her boobs. Her eye's becoming wet and will cry at the same time.

I nodded to her with an expressionless one, as I turned her. Which when she sees me, she feels affected of my feelings, and after a minute she cried. Her tears are coming out like a fountain that splashes out water.

We naturally avoid her fountain of tears and as for the calmer, King patted her head and said, "It's Ok, It's Ok Diane." Then kissing her at that. Calming down the watery-eyed giantess.

Ban initially started to spoke and teased the Fairy King.

"Wow you look at that. Not bad. For a small FAIRY!" Ban smirked and laughed as the calm full of a Fairy King gets blushed. Showing a red tomato on his face and shouts back at ban.

"S-shut up! It's my own doing so shut up!" King or Fairy King harlequin, look at ban with a flustered and a furious look and retorted. Clenching his hand and readying his flying spirit spear chastiefol at the air.

Ban just kept on drinking and sway his fingers as a sign of a silly forgiveness. Which King fall for that. He lowered the chastiefol and retransform it into a pillow, hugs it and float. After realizing King lowered his guard, Ban smirked.

Another voice seemed to spoke.

"So then Captain, what is this virtual world you're talking about?" Merlin asked. Her face shows clearly interested at the virtual game I mentioned when I'm telling my past, which I enjoy doing it. As I heard the word virtual, the memories resides again. I turned to Merlin and spoke.

"The virtual game I mentioned is a game called Sword Art Online."

"Sword Art? Online?" Merlin spoke with a confusion on it's face while smiling. I grinned, as I remembered the moments I've been there. I nodded back to Merlin, which she nod back too. Then I explain the meaning of it.

"Sword Art Online. Or SAO in short, is a game where you can experience a 3rd Dimensional world, where swords and magic existed. Just like this world." I spoke while twirling up my left fingers and closing my green emerald eye's as I explain it. I continued more to explain deeper to the interested Merlin.

"SAO is just the same with this world. But different. There are 100 floors existed in the world called Aincrad. Every floors have it's own towns, scenery's, monsters, and bosses. Which you'll need to defeat the boss of the said floor, to unlock it." I spoke while twirling up my fingers again. I smiled as I explained it. The memories when I was in Aincrad, resurfaces. Recollecting my happy moments on there. Which makes me smile and feel nostalgia again.

As I finished explaining it, I look at Merlin with a satisfied face, then nods at me while she closer yellow eye's while smiling.

"How did you end up here anyway Captain?" Another voice called out to me. I turned my head to Gowther. Which still is confused on how I got here. He put his left fingers on his face, then make a peace sign pose placing on his forehead. Making *PIIING* sound. His pink hair sways as he move around to make a pose. (Wish he should do JoJo.)

I spoke to him in a calm voice.

"Well I dunno how, but all I know was that, when I opened my eye's to this very world, I become Meliodas. And my stupid father is the Demon King. I don't know who reincarnated me." I spoke while scratching my back hair. The pinky hair doll looks at me and smiles. Then back to his usual activity.

Then another spoke.

"So Captain, who is this your lover you're talking about? I believe I heard, it's Asna?" I sniggered and turned to a frail man, who's wiping the glass bottle with a napkin. Escanor look at me with a curious look while cleaning the bottles. I spoke to him as to correct him with the name he called out.

"No Escanor. You got it wrong. Her name is Asuna." I spoke in a freely voice. Escanor is about to say her name properly as he coughed to prepare his premature voice but-

"Asuna?" Everyone around, spoke in unison. Their faces tend to look at me.

But one animal here just laugh it off like he tasted something bad. As you know him.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Asuna? More like, a scrap in my belly!" The one who is laughing was Hawk. The captain of the blah blah blah disposal.

I look at him while he eats his godly food made by Ban, and gave him a happy smile and then.

"PUKYAAH!" Hawk suddenly sent out flying. Letting out a piggy scream. I picked his round pink slender body full with scraps, I throw him away outside, with my unknown smiling intent. I clasp my hands and rubs them off as feels like, to thrown off dirt.

More like scraps.

None of them, seemed to be bothered by it, as it was natural all day for Hawk to get flying like that.

Which he clearly do.

Then a two voice spoke too.

"S-so then brother, have an important person in his life but, so far away huh. I never know you've suffered this kind of thing." The one who said that, was my brother Zeldris. The leader of the 10 commandment who we, the Seven Deadly Sins defeated them and help Zeldris to made a deal and get what he want, and we finally made up and get back to being brothers again.

"I never knew you have a woman in your life Meliodas." The other one spoke, beside of Zeldris was Gelda. Zeldris beloved.

"Well, you all never met her. Ni shi shi." I sniggered and put my index finger near the nostril of my nose and rub it, as I speak.

"Let's see Captain. I'll display the figure of that girl you're talking about, as I invade your memories before." Gowther spoke in a posing manner. He stand up and points his index finger in a clear space, and inject some magic from his hands.

Then the magic accumulated, swirl around and form into an hologram, illuminating in our eye's as I register a figure of a person in the magic Gowther made. There appears a girl with a beautiful face, her chestnut hair floats, as her hazel eye's shine like a light with her face become more dazzling as she froze into one position.

Their eye's widened, Ban who's seeing the figure, spat out the beer he'd been drinking as his reaction was nothing but, full surprise that he never experienced before, like a kid who, successfully pranked an innocent kid in the alleyway. The others where jaw dropped except for Merlin, who is just stare at her and closed her eye's and drink as usual.

Speechless as their eyes, staring at the displayed beautiful girl they saw.

I was just laughing at their reaction as I stood up, and introduce her.

"Her name is Asuna Yuuki. My Girlfriend." I spoke with a joyous expression with a hint of sadness in my face. I smiled at them who was staring at the girl that, as it was just only a picture.

No one pay attention to the greet I made, so I use my middle and thumb finger, lean close to it, until it make contact and rub it to make a friction and cause a sound, which everyone's senses snap back to the track. I coughed loudly and they look back to me, dumbfounded. Then I move my rough lips to speak.

"As I say, she's Asuna. My Girlfriend." I smile to the dumbfounded people, who is just staring at me like a dead fish. Silence engulf us for a minute. Then.

"Y-you're Girlfriend?!" They spoke in unison as their except for Merlin. Jaws extend to the fullest. I grinned and look at them filled with excitement and joy. I raise my hand and do a thumbs up indicating it is true. They nod as their faces are all messed up. They instantly believed me at that.

I sat down in my seat, and starts to drink again but meet with my sadness of my heart. My heart beats faster as I look down and stare at the floor. Whenever I remembers Asuna, the memories with her starts to show, causing me to smile. My eye's hiding from my messy yellow hair swaying.

"I miss her." Meliodas spoke, as he was feeling hurt that he can't see her beloved again. Sometimes he always think of meeting her. But the problem lies within the reunion which, bother Meliodas was the Time. He's been living for 3000 years, "so how many years have passed on Earth?" He always thought to himself.

If the time was the same in this world, then there's no way he ever getting to have a reunion with her, because humans have only a lifespan of 80+ years, which Asuna is indeed completely human. If magic existed within Earth, then there would be a chance that anti aging will be develop within a couple of years. And a 50-50 chance he'll see her again. Or a magic that can turn back time, and go back to the time where after he died would be completely messed up. He never think of any scenario that he can see her without this risky thoughts.

Meliodas stare at the floor in disbelief. Everyone looks at him with disbelief, and pity. All they can do is support their Captain and make him happy. They're always saved and supported by him in years. And there's now they can pay him back without anything that will make him happy instead of one wish of his.

"I want to see you again. Asuna." Meliodas spoke. His voice sounds like he's giving up on seeing her again, as he's powerless and can't do anything to alternate the laws of the universe.

Then suddenly, an earthquake resounded. Meliodas came back from his senses and readied himself and stand up. He warn the others to be very aware of anything as they will expected an enemy to appear.

Or so they thought to their minds.

Light illuminates on the floor. Stronger than the lantern they have, hanging on the ceiling for some lights to envelop the darkness of the tavern.

Meliodas and the others look down on the source of the light, and then what they saw was. A circle with many lines and lettering appearing one by one, on their feet. Meliodas eye's widened and turned around to see others with also have circles under them. Also the flying pig who came back from the speedy fly, covered on dirt and mud.

"Merlin! Do you know what this is!?" Meliodas speaks to Merlin, in a wary tone. As they don't know what's going on. Merlin respond with a monotone voice.

"No. I don't know what this is Captain. But these circles are have a very powerful magic in it." Curious. Merlin investigated the magic circle with a grin on her face. Everyone looks at her. While she's investigating, she was shocked. Her eye's widened and a moment she smiled fearlessly.

Meliodas looks at her with a confusion and a slight of seriousness. Then he spoke again to ask Merlin.

"Merlin! Did you know what's the cause of this?" Merlin stare at their Captain with a sadistic look and smiled.

"This is a summoning circle. It's not just an ordinary summoning magic that I have, instead of summoning us in a very remote part in this world-" Merlin stopped for a moment. Ban and Zeldris, stare at him with a curious look and scratching their aggressively swaying hairs, and the others gulped, sweat appearing. Not expecting them to have this kind of magic to appear before them.

Meliodas stood there with a confusion on it's face, then look down to the magic circle. Then something came up on his mind, which he doesn't remember as too focused on this event. Then Merlin continued to finish the last bit part.

"This magic circle... can teleport us to another world!" Merlin's face was none other than happy. Bigger grin can be seen on her face as if it's like, she found something extraordinary and interesting. The others look at her dumbfounded, and a hint of expectations from the magic circle where they will be teleported far away. Out of this world.

Then light continues to shine up. Engulfing them. Their eye's can only see light appearing intensively. After that, they turned into darkness which was swallowing them up deeply.

Meliodas look around only to see the Sins and the captain of the scraps standing looking around with wary written on their faces. And his brother with his beloved.

He sigh in relief and spoke with a calm childish demeanor.

"Sate Sate Sate. Where are we? Is anyone okay?" Meliodas said. With his left hand on his hair scratching it.

"Merlin. What happened to us?" Zeldris spoke with a hint of anger in his voice and face. Interrupting their night from this event, he was too tired of another battle, as his beloved are with him again.

The daughter of the beraulin, spoke. With her sacred treasure, Venus Aldan floating. Shining faintly as Merlin using her magic.

"We are now being transported. I don't know what part of the universe we're being transport to. But, this world have a very faint sense of magic on it." Merlin focusing her magic and her senses on her sacred treasure. Everyone went quiet as silence filled the unknown space.

Then in a blink of an eye.

As they blink one time, they somehow standing in a cool breeze of wind, in front of the waving waters. With their boots on a soft white grains of sand.

Everyone stares at the water with a refreshing feel, the wind blows at them and making them chilly. As they not bothered by it, Diane and King sighed of relief. Gowther and Merlin stare at the water with curious expression. Ban, Zeldris, Gelda and Meliodas look around to see this world, they've been transport to.

Hawk was at Ban's side. Unable to speak nor to move.

What they've see make their faces bound in surprise. Because, there are many houses with light's on the inside flickering, standing on the bay. The houses are made of wood and stones, tree's hanging around, leaves dancing as the wind blows them. Many figures moving, as the four look at it closely, they noticed, those are humans walking by. Along with another and another and more.

They stood in confusion. Wondering, what world they've been in. For Meliodas, was hit by a nostalgia just by seeing the people walking around. Unsure what it is but, this one event will clear up his thoughts on his mind, on what about they will see.

King look up in the night sky, clouds moving with the stars shining brightly. The moon illuminates most of the darkness of this world. Then, his eye's widened when he saw a small figure moving in the sky, going to southeast. He then, warned the others of an unnatural figure flying with an worried tone.

"Captain! There is some figure moving! I don't know what is it, but it looks like a bird. Flying far away." They turned around to see King surprised at the figure moving in the night sky. So they turned around to see a figure flying. Most of them was surprised and at shock on what they see.

But for Meliodas.

He cannot believe it. There's no way he will be on this world again. Not even a chance. He massage his forehead, to see if it was real or not. He can't move a muscle as he was spectacled on it. Then he spoke to King with his normal voice.

"T-that's not a bird King. That was a Plane." King stared at him with a confusion and answered back with a dumbfounded face.

"A plane?"

"Yeah. T-there's no doubt about it." He eye's widened along with his mouth partially. He was surprised for a moment but, regained his composure as his clenched his boar hat uniform.

Ban look at him with also a confusion then snorted out.

"Hey Cap'n. Are you sure you're not being stupid with some jokes you have, because this is serious." Ban spoke with a smile and a teased look at Meliodas. He used his fingers to fling his antenna hair, and sway around.

Meliodas turned around facing the salt water back, and walks for a moment then stop. "It, can't be." He thought to his mind. After a minute of thinking through, he turned around facing them, with an disappointed look and called them one by one.

"Ban."

"King."

"Diane."

"Gowther."

"Merlin."

"Escanor."

"Gelda."

"Zeldris."

He then stare at them MANACINGLY. A killer atmosphere struck them for a moment. Then he smiled like a kid, put his both hands at the back of his air, the unease feeling subsided and spoke to them with a childish face as he close his eyes and smiled.

.

.

.

.

"Welcome everyone. To my world." After Meliodas said it, there was a silence for a second. Then none of their eye's can't be seen as they move and react.

"WHAAAAT?!" Ban and Zeldris replied in unison.

"NO WAY?!" King, Diane, Gelda and Escanor spoke together.
