Saturday. August 27, 2046 5:30AM
The wind is blowing up a gentle, yet chilly breeze. The sky was painted dark-blue as the light pushes the dark away, Signaling the warm sun to appear.
At the Kirigaya Residence, there was Sugu. Lies on the top of her bed. Sleeping peacefully. Her body was covered in a white blanket, warming her against the cold atmosphere attacking her.
Then her face starts to twitch. Her left eye opened, a figure registered in her hazy and blurry left eye, as she tried to Hummel back in sleep.
She tried to focus her left eye to render the figure to recognize it. But as too tired to stand up, her left eye who was tingling from waking, given up. She was too tired to make her body move. Then a slight of wind blows on her neck, Sugu chuckles and twitch, as she feels a slight sensitive sensation, which she smiled and shook her head as a sign of stopping. Then as the small wind tingling her neck won't stop, she move her eye's slowly opening it, and look to the figure who was tickling her.
As her eye's trying to openly scan the figure, who was the face was hiding from the illuminating darkness, she saw a very messy yellow hair swaying near her. There, was Meliodas, smiling as his face was almost made in contact with her face.
Her eye's widened. Face was hot red as tomato, heating up. Then she let out a squeak but shuts out by Meliodas index finger who was placed on her pink lips.
"Don't make a noise. Okaa-san is sleeping" Meliodas who was smiling, giggled a bit to a blushing Sugu.
"O-Onii-chan! W-we can't be doing this! We're siblings!" She closed her eye's as she can't take on what was happening to her. Still red hot, Meliodas flick her forehead and let out a slight sound of pain.
"What are you talking about? I'm here to tell you that text our friends. Gather them around at Agil's café at 7AM, since I saw Agil still working on that place."
Sugu who was still blushing, nod at her brother's favor. Her eye's still closed, she suddenly felt her body was lighter. Unable to realize it, she opened her eye's to see Meliodas disappeared. She sit right up, and stare with a blank expression. After that she pick up her phone and message her friends.
Sugu: "Everyone we need to gather around at Agil's place at 7AM. This is urgent and very important. Mostly to Asuna."
Eugeo: "Ah okay. I'm going to take a shower and wake up Alice. See you there."
Agil: "Ok. I'll opening the café early. Be sure all of you to come."
Klein: "Ok will do. But what's going on Sugu?"
Sugu: "Just wait till you get there."
Klein: "Alright. See you there!"
Reika: "Okay. I'll go get Keiko, after I get up."
Shino: "Will be there."
Yuuki: "Okaaaay!"
Asuna: "Yeah. I'll be there."
Sugu: "Asuna! Make sure you dressed properly and look good!"
Asuna: "Yeah. I'll try."
Sugu: "What try? You'll sure do it! Because this day will be super important to your whole life!"
Asuna: "Okay. If you say so."
Klein: "If this important gathering was for Asuna, why would we be there?"
Sugu: "Because, this will be important to you all. Like a reunion or something" After Sugu send that text, she smirked. Full of joy and excite written on her face as she stare at the messages of her friends.
Alice: "Like a reunion? But there's no occasion."
Eugeo: "Yeah."
Reika: "Did you hiding something to us Sugu?"
Sugu: "That's why you should come!"
Yuuki: "Just come will you Liz. It's not like it is the end of the world or something."
Reiko: "Yeah yeah. But we still have a problem about that bastard."
Sugu: "Don't worry about that. Right now let us enjoy this good day. Ah! I need to go eat breakfast."
Klein: "But dude. It's 5:54AM. That's early."
Sugu: "Yeah. Because this is a good day. So bye!"
Sugu then stand up, opened the door wearing pajamas. As she was taking a first step down from the stairs, she heard a loud ruckus at the living room.
As she step down the living room, there she saw Meliodas and Ban. Arguing over a remote TV.
"Cap'n. Lemme try this will ya? You've experienced this enough, so I'm going to try this." Ban snatches the remote from Meliodas hands, as he smiles and speaks.
"That's why I'm here you know that? I'll teach you the way of a TV master. So I'll take that." Meliodas takes away the remote in an instant that, Sugu clearly didn't see it was taken as she saw instantly, it was on Meliodas hands. Then Ban takes it.
Then Meliodas takes it while also ban snatches from Meliodas clutches, and both of them, do the same over and over again. A wave of wind starts to form at the center where, Meliodas and ban tries to take the remote TV. The wind blows so strong that, Sugu was wind up to the kitchen.
Sugu can't take on the shenanigans she was experiencing, so she sighed and look over to rest who was eating peacefully.
She noticed, that they didn't do anything to separate this two. So she thought in that world, "it was normal to them to have a kind of fight?!" like that. Unsure if it's true or not, she asked them about it, with a curious eye's staring at the two.
"Uhhh. Aren't you all, going to stop them down?" She spoke in a timidly voice and scratches her head. The respond she receive was.
"This is normal." King replied.
"It's our everyday life." Diane also replied.
"There's nothing can stop between the two." Gowther smiles at her.
"Just let them be." Merlin drink a glass of water, while her eye's are closed.
"Don't you worry about it, it's not like something's bad is happening." Escanor calms Sugu who was very exasperated to the response she heard. And smiles and nod at him.
Until.
*Boom!* an explosion occurred. Sugu as startled, let out a small scream and look out to the source of the explosion.
There she saw, Meliodas and Ban stood stare at the broken TV on the floor. Because of the overwhelming, 'who snatches the fast, wins.' The TV was also get involved on the silly game the two unknowingly made.
The two just laugh it off and stare at each other, with on their hands are the remote, who was destroyed and become a half of it. A half from Ban and another half from Meliodas.
"That's bad Ban. I told you I'll teach you. Now, look at the mess." Meliodas sniggered while laughing at the Ban who was grinning at the Meliodas with a villainous look.
"No. I don't think it's my fault. It was you. You who is getting cocky just because I don't know how this works." Ban then crushes the poor half part of the remote. And glare at Meliodas who was still laughing his ass off while averting his eye.
After seeing the aftermath of the two, Sugu was speechless and just averted her eye's and goes to the kitchen and stare at the people who hasn't even bulged and lift a finger to scolds them.
She stares at them with a blank expression that looks like she'd given up and sat near Diane, and starts to eat spiritlessly.
"That's how it works. Sorry." Zeldris looks at Sugu and bowed his head, while eating his never-eaten-before breakfast, who didn't react at the deliciousness of it.
"You'll get used to it." Gelda spoke at her while sighing hard, and continues her breakfast.
6:58AM. At Agil's Café.
Sugu opened the door, at her vision there was Agil giving a drink to a tired out Klein who sits next to the counter.
Sinon sits in a table along with Silica, Liz, Yuuki, Alice and Eugeo. Who was chatting truthfully.
Everyone stared at her and greeted her.
"Morning!" Everyone spoke one by one.
"Everyone's here early!" Sugu was surprised. She never expects them to be this early. Whenever they always to do a gathering or go out, they usually arrived late. Then she walks in and Agil spoke while pouring a water for her.
"So? Why did you bring everyone here?"
"Because, wait. Is Asuna isn't here yet?" Sugu spoke in her usual tone and something poke in her back. She turned around and see Asuna smiling like a morning sun. There she noticed she is dazzling as hell and wore an fancy outfit.
"Morning Suguha-chan!" Asuna greets Sugu with her calm and usual demeanor. But there's a slight of depression on it. She also sat beside Sugu and stare at her.
"Sugu, can you explain what are we doing here?"
Sugu coughed and explained to it to them.
"There will be people I want to meet you all. Along a one person for Asuna."
Everyone was spoke "Ooooooooh" in unison then, they nodded.
It was 7:03AM and the door opens.
They stare at a small figure which, it was a four legged with a pink roundy body and stare at the people he see.
"Hey is… that a pig?" Klein spoke with his finger pointing at the pig.
"Hey human who are you talking a pig?" Then for a moment it was a full silence, as everyone except Sugu and Asuna, was shocked with their jaws dropped. Then.
"A TAAAALKING PIGGG" Everyone shout in unison. Without a doubt they tried to catch the pig which, Hawk was aware of and tried to dodge at the upcoming Klein, who jump from the chair and tries to catch him.
Klein bumped into a wall and left out with a big bump on his head. Which he don't move for a minute.
"HHAHAHAHAHA! Is that all you got?" Hawk laughed and teased Klein but, as soon as he land, he was captured by Alice, who was using a system generation. A yellow light circled Hawks body and become tighten. Unable to escape, Alice pulled the yellow system rope causing Hawk to fly over and getting catched by Eugeo. Then he suddenly let out a cry.
"PUGYAAAH! HEY STOP IT! DON'T CATCH ME!" He begged at the Alice, who respond with a sinister smile and spoke.
"We're going to roast you and eat you well."
Hawk cried to his limit as he get in a mess, he really want to avoid. He faced at Sugu who was sitting beside Asuna.
"HEY! HELP ME! IF YOU DO THAT, I WILL HAVE YOU BECOME A MEMBER OF THOSE SEVEN ANNOYING GROUPS! SO HEEELP MEEE!" He let out a pigs cry and Sugu just swayed her hands and smiles at him.
All the hope is lost, as Hawk struggles to escape at Alice's hands.
Asuna look at Sugu with a curious look and asked.
"Suguha-chan do you know that pig?"
"Yeah. He was a part of those people you will meet. I think they're pretty late." Sugu smiles at Asuna who was a long face and nod and stare down.
"Hey is something's wrong?" Sugu asks Asuna a question and, she shook her head. Denying it.
"No nothing's wrong." She smiled, showing Sugu a happy expression which, it's clearly a fake.
"Is this about Onii-chan right?" Asuna's eye's widened. Tears almost starts to leak. Everyone didn't noticed it yet, as they are busy with the pig. With that, she's just nodded. She can't seem to speak. She was shocked to the fact that, she can't even take a word out of her mouth. Not just even once.
"Do you still love him?" Sugu spoke. Asuna stared at her with a guilty expression, as she was holding hack. With a minute of staring, she gather up her feelings and let it out using her warmth and comfy words.
"I still love him with all my heart. In these 20 years, even many suitors who is handsome, good and have a good life that was introduced to me, they are nothing. His better than them. Because, he's…" She closed her face by putting her both hands into her face. And spoke with her hands on her face.
"Because, he's my Kirito-kun!" Asuna cried. Quietly. Sugu stared at her with depression as, she forget she'd been still suffering. Then she regained her composure and move her lips.
"Then what if Onii-chan come back to life?" Asuna stopped crying as soon she heard those words. She put down her hands, exposing her wet face as she look at Sugu with a smile on her face. Asuna frowned, Sugu knows Discussing about her brother would be a trauma to her. Even so, she still speak.
"What if he's alive, but everything changed. Inside and outside."
Asuna spoke while she tried her best to move her lips as she mumbles.
"W-what do you m-mean Suguha-chan?"
"What if he's alive, his looks have changed? his personality changed? Anything about him changed. Do you still want to love him?" Asuna was shocked at Sugu's question. But still she tried to find a suitable words to speak. Within that moment, she smiled at Sugu.
"Yes. I will love him. No matter if he change or not, I will love him with my fullest. As long he loves me back, it's good for me. I can't live without him." She spoke. Tears starts to fall off again, but she wipe it out and bring back her composure and smile at her. Sugu smiled at her too and moved her head slightly on the right beside Asuna and looks at the door that was opening.
Sugu grinned her face show's clearly that, the fun is about to begin.
"Speak of the devil, they're here!" Everyone stopped. They look at Sugu with a confusion along with Klein who suddenly get up, and look at the door opened, revealing a person with a spiky blue-white hair. His clothing was a red jacket and a pants, that's not even in his own size, revealing his toned body. He walked in to the room, while he put his hands at his pockets, which Liz, Yuuki, Silica and Sinon stare at the guy and let out a whistle.
Ban looked around to see people looking at him. Then he noticed Hawk, who has struggling on Alice's hands.
"Hey master, what are you doing?"
"Baaan! Help me please! This stupid girl going to ROAST ME!" Hawk cried out for help with a least of tease, which Alice grips him more tightly out of anger as soon she heard Hawk teasing her.
"Fine. Fine." With that, Ban grinned. He raised his seemingly purgatory skinned fingers and move it for a bit.
Hawk who was being hold captive ready to be a roasted pig by Alice, suddenly disappeared. Alice gasped and stare at the space where Hawk vanishes. Then she look at the guy who raised his hands while grinning.
Her eye's widened. Her sapphire eye's stare beside the guy and saw Hawk was at Ban's side.
Alice goes on the battle stance and spoke with an angry tone and irritated face and a wary on her voice.
Also everyone was aware of this visitor because of Sugu's explanation. So they didn't let out their weapons, as also to leave it at Alice.
"W-who are you? W-what do you want here?" But Ban didn't even showed a glance at the yellow haired girl, who was looking at him with a angry expression on her face. Ban checking Hawk is the least of important to do.
"Hey master. You alright?"
"Pugyaaah… T-thanks ban."
Then when he's satisfied that his master is okay, he then look at the girl whose sword are out. Her battle stance is ready. Ban stood there staring and examine Alice, which Alice got more cautious about him. She's just need to wait for a right time to attack.
Ban knew, this would get troublesome, so he tried to explain to calm her down.
"Hey girl. Don't worry. I'm not you're enemy. Chill out. I just did take back my master, that's all." He smiled at Alice. Then her wariness over him, suddenly grew more cautious. She ask Ban on what's on her mind.
"Not you're enemy eh? Then, can you show me a proof?" Her dignity as a knight, still stands out. Still, her sword is open in the air, she grip it tightly as she's waiting for a chance of an opening and attack.
Ban sighed and spoke.
"Why not you look at that girl over there and ask her?" He then point at Sugu while, his villainous red eye's looking at Alice.
For a moment, Alice let her sword down and look at Sugu and spoke.
"What's the meaning of this Sugu?"
"I-I told you! They're the one's you'll meet." Then she look at ban who nod and look back at Hawk. She stare at him with pure nervousness as she saw his body, which make her blush more. While fidgeting her fingers, she ask him about why are the others are not with him.
"Uhhhhh, B-Ban-san? Where are the others?"
"The other's are all with me. I'm just faster to arrive because I want to get this over with. As for the Cap'n. He was busy buying some snacks outside." He scratch his head as he tried to explain further more, but too lazy to do it.
Sugu just sighed and wait for them. Then as Ban, switch his vision to Sugu to Asuna, his eye's focused at her. Clearly that, he's interested in this beautiful and elegant girl.
He walk to her and look at her straight in the eye while, Asuna do the same. Everyone gulp for a moment as, an unusual aura envelops the whole Café.
But it got subsided and replace with a carefree and a smoothing atmosphere, as Ban smile at Asuna.
"So you're the one, the Cap'n talking about. You're pretty. I don't know what'd you see about him. But well Oh well." He give her a thumbs up and sit in an open table, and wait for the others to come.
They stood dumbfounded on what did Ban say. They look at him more, but the unusual aura enveloping him, makes it hard to look at him with ease.
"C-captain? Who is that?" as they tried to think deeper, they hear two people. One was a girly voice, seems to complaining something and the other one was really startled about the other voice.
Then the two figures appeared as they opened the door. Everyone except for ban, was their jaw dropped and eye's widened as their expression was nothing but a full of shock.
There was Diane, in a lovely cute outfit, exposing her cleavage which Klein nod in satisfaction. And King who was floating while on his chastiefol pillow form, talking with Diane on a curtain things.
"Did you have fun Diane?" King spoke with a worry on his voice. Sweats drippling on his forehead as he talks to Diane.
"I don't know if I have fun, because you ate my terayaki!" Diane make a mad expression face and averted her eye's when she sees King and causing her to go "Hmph!" Pouting. King finds pouting Diane actually cute.
They're usual flirting makes the otherworldly people, stare at the two with a hint of jealousy and a proud one at that.
King came back to his senses and tap Diane's slender shoulders as to get the same thought.
The two look around to the people, who was staring at them in Awe. Mostly to King, who is floating mid air.
"H-Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm King" He wave his hand and smiled nervously. Diane spoke after King.
"And, I'm Diane! Nice to meet you all. Friends of the Captain!" She also waved her hands and made a cute face, causing Klein to close his eye's and nod in satisfaction.
"Captain's…" Eugeo spoke. In a very wary voice.
"Friends?" Liz did a double take same to Eugeo. They look at Diane like what was going on this day. And she just smiled.
"You'll soon know it!" The two sit next to ban circling him.
"Weird." Liz thought to her mind. She never expects a weird day, getting weirder and weirder everyday. She sighed of confusion with a hint of giving up.
Then King and Diane look around, to see the people stare at them while Diane giving them a cheerful smile while the girls does too. The two saw Asuna who was looking at them with a confusion. The two gasp for a second, look at each other and nodded. Diane stands up, while king floats while sitting, and the both goes to Asuna who was sitting watching them approach her.
King close the gap of his, and Asuna's faces. Then circling around her to examine her. After his suspicions cleared out, King closed his eye's and nodded.
Diane look at king. And spoke to him in a whisper.
"So King, how is it?"
"Yeah. She's definitely it." Both nodded and look at her and smiles.
"So you're the Captain's lover huh." King spoke giving a teasing face on Asuna. Then Asuna and the others minus Sugu who was smiling while closing her eye's. They we're shocked, they spoke in unison.
"Lovers!?!?!?" Things suddenly getting tense up, the otherworldly new people spoke in utter surprise in unison. So, King and Diane calm them down.
"Just wait for him to come, and he will explain everything." King spoke and turned his eye's to Diane while she starts to speak.
"Yeah! And you're so cute Asuna-chan! I like you!" She then winks at Asuna and the both get back to the table and sits.
Everyone looks at Asuna with a smirk mixed of confusion and jealousy.
"Lover? Asuna, I thought you only loved Kirito and no one else?" Alice stared at her with indigenous looks.
"No way! It can't be… Nice one Asuna. What will Kirito on heaven do when he find it out?" Liz grinned, poking Asuna on her sides causing Asuna to twitch and pinch Liz cheeks and makes her growl in pain.
Then 5 figures appeared. It was Gowther, Merlin, Escanor, Gelda and Zeldris. Looking at the room with a concerned looks at the new people, that have weapons on their backs and waists.
They sit where the other 3 sits. The 5 look at the new people while smiling except for Merlin who closing her eye's and smirk.
When Gowther and Gelda finally turned their eye's on Asuna, they winked at her.
"You ready miss?" Gowther smiled at her and winks again.
"I'm sure you're reunion will be a teary eyed one." Gelda smiles at her and wink just like Gowther.
Asuna just nodded. Can't take to felt the awkwardness of the atmosphere, she look at Sugu who is chatting with Diane and gives her a scary look vibes.
Then Zeldris stands up. He walk towards Asuna looking at her like a prey that will eat her once and for all. Finally reaching a close distance where they almost equal on height, as Asuna sitting and Zeldris standing in front of her.
Zeldris smirked, closed his eye's and spoke.
"So you're my brother's Girlfriend huh. He's so lucky that he have you." He then smiled at her and, opened his eye's making an eye contact with her.
Asuna, while looking at him, suddenly felt her heart race. When she first see him, she thinks they look a lot familiar, voice and face. But shook her head and make eye contact again.
"Ah, eh thanks?" Asuna spoke shyly. Zeldris turns back the table and wait for the final person to come.
10 minutes had passed and he never appeared. Causing Klein and the other's to snap out and confronts them.
"Ok. So who the hell are you guys? Seems like you know Asuna very well. Are you a pawns of that bastard Sugou?" Enraged, Klein shouts as he tried to accuse them of something that, they don't do. The way they look at him seems like, he was being humiliated.
Eugeo and Alice stands up and put out their yellow and blue swords.
"Can you tell as what is your motives? So no one can get hurt." Eugeo spoke in a serious tone.
"If you don't, we will do are utmost thing! As an Integrity Knight, just to you all spoke the truth!" She glared at them like an eagle with those sharp eye's. The other's stand up to along with Asuna. And glare at them. As she about to pick up her rapier, they we're all stopped as a voice can be heard outside the café.
"Sate Sate Sate. Man, this whole thing is heavy than I expected. Hope Ban and the others should eat this because this is a waste of money." A boy spoke as he was talking to someone. With a cheerful and a kiddy tone, he giggled as he opening the door.
Somehow the voice of that person seems similar to that guy. No. Very similar, like almost the same. They just stood there, as the figure with a many packs of food and beer stacked up while lifting it, blocked his whole face. They can't seem to recognize it.
The boy stopped for a moment. Rotating his body to look around the room and finding Ban and the others, sitting in a table. There he walked to them and placed all the foods he buyed for them. Revealing his face.
"Hey ban, everyone. You should take full responsibility of these things. They're quite expensive. All my savings are now wasted because of this." The yellow haired boy point at Ban with an annoyed expression. Then clasp his hand which Ban and the others smiled.
Klein and the others was shocked. Full of emotions they can't seem to realize. There's no way he'd be here. He died years ago. But somehow he was here. His height changed, his voice changed, his hair color changed, and his eye's too. No matter changes from him, the very same face was there. Causing everyone to look at him widely. Then they realized it. He was alive.
Eugeo for sure, called out his best friend's name.
"K-Kirito. I-Is that… you?" Then, the boy look around to see many people with their eye's full of tears. They can't seem to move as feels like, time was stopped. Then he walk in front of them and smiled, (Usual Meliodas way) and wave at them.
"Ni shi shi. How do I say this... Yo! Everyone. It's been a while. Ho-" Meliodas who was greeting them for the first time in years was cut off by loud thud and scream that calls. "KIRITO!" and hugs him super tightly, which Meliodas was being pinned by, like a 10 hawk all around his body. He just stare at them, looking at him while crying.
He smiled and.
Break them away from him in an instant, which the Klein and the others was surprised on how he avoid that. And calm them down.
Eugeo spoke again.
"No way! Kirito! I thought I-" Then he look down to see Kirito or Meliodas patted his shoulder which making him know "It's okay." And cried again.
"You haven't changed since I last saw you Eugeo."
"Yeah! But, you really are the one who changed big time. But I'm glad to see you again, my best friend." Eugeo smiles and laughs at the Meliodas who was nodding at him.
"Yeah." Then both two, initiate their hand sign of friendship.
Meliodas looks at Agil and Klein whose tears was drifting away from them as he look at the two.
"Yo! Great to see you two in a while. Suppose things haven't changed?" Meliodas sniggered and smiled at the two who was crying hard. And the two spoke with their big and cocky smiles.
"It's great to see you again." Agil spoke. They thumbs up. And Meliodas nods.
"How are you so small now?" Klein snorted. Causing Meliodas looks at him tiringly. He swayed his hands, and turned around to see Liz, Silica, Yuuki, Alice and Sinon. Which he wave his hand and walks closer to them.
"Hey you five! Uhhh… aren't you all haven't changed seriously. For Silica had make a great change, but for you four…" At first he was happy that he finally see them again, but lost interest as he saw them, like the usual way before.
But as for Silica, hew grew some height and grew some bust on the chest, which Meliodas make it a great growth for Silica while looking and grinning at the huge view he saw.
"That's all you can say?" Liz angered. While tried to launch a super punch, which Meliodas effortlessly dodged. Causing her to fall and bump to the floor.
"Cmon. Not even a hug?" Yuuki pouted, but then receive a big hug from Meliodas. As they break up the hug, her eye's lit up as she saw Meliodas was the same height as her.
"Wow! We are now the same height Kirito!" She sniggered. She laughed proud fully.
"Ah no. I'm just shrinked. So you haven't make a progress. Really." He smirked. After Yuuki hears that, she sulked to the ground, cursing at the unfair laws of physics.
He then look at Alice and Sinon. He gave them a tight hug and break it up. Then Sinon spoke.
"It's good to see you again Kirito." Sinon smiled at him while tears falling.
"Hey after this, why not you have a fight with me? I'll show you how the world works now." The Integrity Knight Alice boasted. Clearly teasing Kirito as she thought he just revived and don't know the world changes. So he just nod at her while glaring at her and smiled at her.
But the real thing is, as he stare at her there was a large waterfall tears rolling out to her face. Seems unclear on what he's gonna do so, he hug her tightly while she hug him back. The feeling that she had back un Underworld, came back on her. She smiled while crying and give a word of greetings while shaking.
"W-W-Welcome back, K-Kirito. I see you've been busy."
"Yeah. A lot." He sniggered while giving Alice a high-five. Ban noticed something unusual so, he spoke.
"Cap'n. You forgot about one." Ban smirked which clearly, Meliodas knows. Meliodas turned around to see a girl who was sitting, with tears falling on her eye's. He walk and approach her. She jerked as she saw Meliodas in front of him. Then, she closed her eye's and shook it out of her head.
"Clear your head Asuna. This is just a dream. Wake up. Wake up." As she tried to pinch her arms or slap herself, none of it seems to working. She continuously cried until someone grab her hand. She opened her hazel eye's and saw her hand, by at Meliodas cheeks.
Everyone was quiet, as they don't want to interfere with their reunion.
He grab Asuna's hand and place it on his cheeks and he rub it. Asuna jerked again. She move her lips while let out a soft voice while trembling.
"I-If this is a dream, please don't wake me up anymore." She sobs and stand up. While her hands at Meliodas cheeks. She closed on the distance where she move clumsy and almost fall.
But Meliodas catches her. He closed their distance, looking at her face to face. He smiled and spoke to the crying chestnut haired Asuna.
"Ni shi shi. This is not a dream Asuna. I'm really here. You can let it all out and cry on my chest." Meliodas smiled at her and pressed his lips on hers which it lasted for a whole 2 minutes.
Asuna's eye's widened as she felt a very important taste, once was lost long ago. But now the taste came back. Enveloping her whole body, as they enjoying something so precious.
Then, Asuna look at Meliodas while sobbing uncontrollably, and spoke.
"B-but how?!?! I-I lost you! I don't know if I'm dead! Or something is ha-" At that, she was cut off by Meliodas. He placed his finger on her lips, as to stop her to talk no more.
"Yeah I know. But you see, I'm still alive. And that's all it matters." Finally seem to realize this was all real, Asuna's wet eye's let out another waterfall tears and touch Meliodas body, to make sure this is not an illusion nor a dream.
Meliodas let her touch him, as it was enjoyable. After a 3 minute of touching Meliodas head, arms and chest, she spoke, with her mumbling lips.
"I-I Missed you so much!!! I really. Really. Miss you so much! I don't want you to disappear before me again! I can't take it anymore! All I do is enduring it till I breakdown! But, I can't. Because I don't know if I ever see you again!" She shout for everyone to hear her emotions soar through him, as to know what all she been gone and felt through. Meliodas smiled at her with a pure warmth of life, Asuna smiled to and touch his cheeks and spoke while crying.
"Welcome back. My dear Kirito-kun." She greets Meliodas with a lovely voice, and a warmth tone.
Meliodas chuckled.
"Yeah. I'm back. To you. Asuna." He smiled to a wet Asuna.
She then placed her head on his chest and whine and cry a lot, as to let all her emotions surge. Meliodas hug her tightly. Their reunion was so emotional that, no one really talked and stayed quiet. It last long for about 10 long minutes of her crying while at Meliodas chest.
"Maaan, this sure is a heartfelt reunion for the Cap'n huh?" Ban seem to admit that, this is a best reunion he'd ever see. He just smiled to his buddy while holding a beer. Thinking, his buddy's wish finally come true. And he's happy for him. A true bro.
"Yeah." Everyone including the otherworldly people spoke in unison, as they agree on what Ban said.
After that. As he was about to get up, he was stopped by Asuna. She cling to him hard, as to not let him disappear. Then he grab Asuna's waist and close the distance between he and her, and sit on a chair, next to Asuna and everyone from britannia. Asuna's head was resting on Meliodas shoulders as she clings hard on him. Which he clearly don't mind.
Meliodas look at his comrades, which he smiled to them.
The faces they made was full of warmth and happiness, seeing their Captain, finally make his wish come true.
Someone coughed deeply.
Everyone tend to look at Klein. After everyone's attention gathered to him, he look at Meliodas.
"So? Aren't you gonna introduce us to them?" Klein feeling angry as if he was jealous to the new friends he had.
Or he want to get know the 3 girls he saw.
"Ni shi shi. I know your motives Klein. Can't believe you're still the same. I thought I will have to expect from you, but oh well." Meliodas chuckled then sighed. He then stand up with Asuna as well, as she really don't want him to go away. Leaving her side again.
Meliodas along with Asuna, walk in the center. He faced his comrades and smiled. He then point his finger to Klein.
"Well everyone, this guy here that keeps on staring at me is Klein." He introduced Klein in a funny way, which irritates Klein.
Everyone smirked and look at Klein with a pity. Then laughed.
"W-Well. N-Nice to meet you. I-I'm Klein! Single! 40 years old. I'm not old and free to be da-" He spoke while blushed. Seeing the 3 beautiful girls from another world, makes Klein caught off guard.
Meliodas kick his balls because of his introduction, which Klein hold his balls with the both of his hands, while screeching in pain.
Guess he would not have a baby for a while.
Meliodas then move his index finger and points at Agil.
"This guy here named Agil. Well he helped me so much back from the virtual death game I talked to you all about." Everyone from Britannia, look at him. They smiled for a moment and chuckled.
"Ah hello. Well as Kirito would say, I'm Agil. Nice to meet you all." He smiled at them and starts to pour off some beer and give them to everyone.
Then Ban as he drink the beer, he feels refreshed to an extent that, his eye's opened and look at the delicious beer he tasted. He then look at Agil with a shock and awe expression.
"Hey old man! This beer is good! I taste something that, that's good than Britannia's finest beer!" He walk to Agil and placed the empty glass move his hand signals him, that he want more.
Agil sighed with a shock and smiled at the same time, as this is the first time his beer got complimented. He pour him another set of beer and give it to ban.
Meliodas and Asuna chuckled and sighed and walks to Ban, who was enjoying his life.
"Ban, you need to give enough respect to our bartender here. If you still do that, he would lose business because of you." Meliodas looks at Ban who was still drinking the beer. But Ban didn't give Meliodas a damn, and keep drinking and approaching Agil. Meliodas just sighed and looks at Agil.
"You sure about this? This guy here will give you hard time and your reserve stock of beers would lose." Meliodas just smiles with a worry expression. But Agil shook his head, indicating he don't need to worry about it.
"Don't worry about it Kirito. I have many stock of many kinds of beers now. Besides, what could go wrong? I expect he would be drunk anytime now, the beer he drank was a kind that would get you drunk faster." Agil smiled at the worry Kirito.
"Sure. But, I did warn you. You could regret this decision you made." He smiled with a frown on his face worriying about Agil, who don't know what Ban could do. He then laughed a bit and turn back to introduce the others.
"This pink haired girl is Lizbeth. A.K.A Reika. A rip-off blacksmith, who would give me trouble back then." Meliodas sniggered while teasing Liz.
Liz face fell and her happily face, turned into a fury and glared at the grinning Meliodas.
"Why you!" Angered, Liz tried to punch Meliodas with her momentum, while Meliodas is caught off guard because of his teasingly smile.
Her flexed punch was close to hit Meliodas face, who was still looking at his comrades, suddenly bend down himself and Asuna who was looking at him with his left hand, that was on her waist placed on her back and push her back down. Dodging the punch Liz made.
Still as Liz almost lose balance, she tried to kick Meliodas while he and Asuna bent down. She jumped, leaping to Meliodas and raised her THICC leg, exposing her white panties as she wearing a skirt. As her leg almost in contact of Meliodas face, Meliodas used the remaining milliseconds to dodge by moving himself and Asuna by walking away. Causing to Liz to kick the table and scream in pain.
Meliodas look back a bit to see a Liz screeching in pain. He grinned and giggle.
For Asuna, didn't know how she teleported. Her eye's was focused on Meliodas smiling face. Captivated by his emerald green eye's and a cute looking face, she fall in love with him over again, which she doesn't realize she was moved by Meliodas on his own.
For Alice and the rest, didn't catch Meliodas moving. For their eye's feels like in a blink of an eye, he teleported instantly in a small portion of distance. Which Meliodas is seriously faster that their eye's can't caught up. Their faces was at shock and awe as they jaw dropped.
"I didn't see Kirito move." Eugeo spoke. His eye's widened.
"M-Me too. When I blinked, he and Asuna moved so fast, feels like instantly." Alice followed up.
"J-Just how much Kirito becomes stronger while, he was in another world?" Sinon also double take. Her hands shaking.
"N-No way... He's so fast! I can't even keep up with his movement anymore." Yuuki also spoke. Amazed on what she saw.
"So fast, in a blink of an eye?" Silica spoke. Her legs trembling, while her big full of packs chest wiggle a bit because of excitement.
"Damn. He always takes the spotlight. I feel jealous." Klein clenched his fists. Glared at Meliodas with Awe and jealousy.
"That's Onii-chan for you." Sugu just sighed. Knowingly, that's not even his effort.
Meliodas noticed the reaction of his friends, he then turned around to face them and answer it.
"What do you all mean fast? I just move and walk around that's all."
"THAT FAST?" His friends spoke in unison. Their mouths opened widely. Still shocked, they just stood and stare at him.
Meliodas points his index finger to them one by one, while looking at his comrades as he introduce them.
"This is Eugeo, Alice, Yuuki, Sinon and Silica. Also my friends."
These five introduced themselves.
"M-My name is Eugeo! Kirito's best friend." He smiled at the new people, which what he received was a warm smile back.
"My name is Alice, Alice Synthesis Thirty! An Integrity Knight of the Axiom Church of Underworld. Also, Kirito's friend too." Alice introduced herself in a very Integrity way. Which her new people also give her a nod, a smile and a look of admiration.
"Name is, Konno Yuuki. Also Kirito's friend too." Yuuki smiled at them and introduced herself in a friendly and girl manner as her violet long hair swayed. Diane spoke while looking at her.
"So, you're Asuna's sister? Her face lit up as she stare at Asuna and Yuuki.
"N-No. We're not sisters. It's just that, our names technically the same." Asuna explained while smiling, which Yuuki nods.
"Name is Asada Shino. Just call me Sinon. Nice to meet you all" The light blue haired girl spoke. With her also light blue eye's she gaze at them with Awe.
"M-My name is Silica! How nice to meet you all." The 12 year old girl, yet 32 now. Smiled and wave at them with, freely joyous eye's looking at them. Causing King and Zeldris blush, which got receive a massive pinch on their cheeks by Gelda and Diane.
The introduction of Meliodas friends from Earth is finished. All that's left is introduce his friends from britannia to them.
Meliodas smiled, looking at the scene that the two other worldly people meet and get along. He hoped to see something like this for a while, which his face lit up.
Asuna holds his arm beside her and intertwine with hers. He then look up to see Asuna smiling at him, with her full warmth of her feelings for him.
"Ni shi shi, are you happy?" Meliodas ask Asuna who was giving him a warmth and a happy look and answered.
"More than anything. I finally get to see you again, ever since… that day. I can't help but feel depressed. Sometimes I cry. Cry and cry until my mother stops me with force. In these past years, she never ever stop abusing me. Even she knows you're gone, she doesn't even care and resumed of finding me a suitors." Her face look downed. Mentioning her past, and her situation makes her feel sad. She tried to hold back her tears, as she explained briefly to Meliodas who was looking at her, in complete shock.
"T-Then Sugou came 5 years ago. And till this day, we are bound to be married. His different. He never changes. He's now the powerful person in Japan, after he got a magic. When my mother knows it, she without a doubt chose him as my husband, just because he's now powerful and can bring a fortune to my family." Asuna continued. She cling harder to Meliodas while trying to maintain her stance and composure. The situation about her family becomes worse, as her mother becomes more abusive and judgmental throughout the years, which result to Sugou coming back.
Suddenly, she feels something soft touched her lips. Only realizing Meliodas kissed her. She enjoyed it and pressed her lips more to him. Intertwining their tounges and tasting their own saliva to the fullest. After that, Meliodas patted Asuna's chestnut hair and spoke.
"Don't worry. I'm here. I will protect you this time and always." He spoke with determination on his face. Even he is smiling, he can't take a hint of anger around it, as he don't want to show Asuna his other side. Asuna smiled to the fullest. Nodded and spoke.
"I know. And I will protect you, just like the always." They hug each other again. The bound of their love, seems never to end. After a minute, they feel like somethings watching them. They look around to find everyone looking at them, with a warmth on their eye's and smiled at them.
Meliodas look at Asuna and grinned.
"Say why not we come to your house today?" After hearing that, Asuna was surprised.
"W-Why?"
"Beeeecauuuse, I'm going to have a small TALK with them." He laugh it off with a bit of seriousness dwelled on Meliodas which Asuna got startled, and fall in love with him again. Don't know what to retort, she nod. Meliodas gives him a warmth of relief and turn around to Merlin.
"Merlin, can you teleport the two of us in front of Asuna's house?" Meliodas spoke in his usual tone. While Merlin nodded.
"Will do Captain." With that, in the flick of her fingers, the two disappeared completely. Everyone except from Team Meliodas was widely shocked, as to seeing a high tier magic used without an effort. And look at them with awe.
Merlin stood up. Grinning written on her face and spoke.
"I'm Merlin. The 《Boar Sin of Gluttony.》 nice to meet you." She spoke as she swayed her hair for added effect. Then Gowther did a double take.
"I am Gowther. The 《Goat Sin of Lust.》 nice to meet you all Captains friends!" He smiled at the frozen friends of Meliodas and do a peace sign pose.
"My name is Diane! The 《Serpent Sin of Envy.》" she introduced herself like a Holy Knight warrior, ready to battle and smiled.
"Name's King. The 《Grizzly Sin of Sloth.》nice to meet you all." He introduced himself while yawning on his floating pillow.
"My name is Escanor. The 《Lion Sin of Pride.》" he spoke with a prideful tone. Even he is in frail mode, he's still sure has a pride to announce.
Ban come back to his senses, when he knows he need to introduce himself so.
"Ban. The 《Fox Sin of Greed.》" He spoke while holding a beer on his hands and continued to drink.
"We Seven, have a tattoo of the seven animals on each part of our body." She spoke. Earning everyone's attention and a look of interest and Awe.
"Then, the last one will be." Everyone tend to look at the black haired guy, expecting to introduce himself. But, Zeldris looks at them, confused. As he about to say anything, Gelda spoke in place of Zeldris.
"Zeldris is not the part of them. He's something other than them. Right Zeldris?" Gelda poke the confused Zeldris. He look at her, meeting her joyous smile. He smiled back and nods. He then look at the otherworldly people who was also confused, who was the last member. Zeldris introduced himself.
"My name is Zeldris. Commandment of Piety. Leader of the 10 Commandments." He spoke with a serious tone. His eye's changed. His blue like an ocean eye's turned into, a dark sinister with a hint of violet on it.
Something's appeared on his forehead like a dark mark forming, as he introduced himself as the leader of the 10 Commandments.
The atmosphere changed. The cool and chill atmosphere suddenly become a sinister yet scary one. Everyone gulped. Their eye's was full opened. Looking at Zeldris makes them tried to puke or swallow their saliva. Despair and Agony surround them, as they can't breathe because of his notorious aura. Feels like they saw something other than him. A creature covered in black, hiding in the shadows as they look at him.
Then, Gelda punched Zeldris on the head, making him scream in pain and cover his head. The dark sinister atmosphere was vanished, along with his scary aura.
Zeldris look at her with an angry expression of "Why did you do that!" but he stopped halfway, to see Gelda looking at him with Disgust and a look saying "Stupid moron." Zeldris gulped, as he don't have a counter to her beloved vampire scary look. His eye's turned back into his normal eye. The mark also disappeared as if vanishing into thin air.
"Your introduction scares them. Do it again." She stare at him with a cold yet murderous look. Zeldris took another gulp and nod nervously, he wiped some sweats forming on his head, and turned around to the people, who panting heavily after experiencing something more dangerous.
He realized that he really scared them and bowed.
"Sorry everyone! It was just my usual way to do that. L-Let's try again." He coughed and do one more. But with a chill look.
"Eh? W-We're at my home?" Asuna couldn't help, but to stare at her own house in surprise. Back in Agil's café, in an instant she felt something. As she blink she saw her house. She stare at it and massage her eye. She then look at Meliodas, who was looking at him while he giggled. She give him a questionable look and pouted.
"Don't worry about that. Now, the main objective is, reintroduce me to them. But." He then make a worried expression, looking at Asuna.
"Sugou is here." Asuna spoke. Fear arise from her body. She starts to shaken up.
Looks like, they've sensed Sugou's magic.
Or the very feeling of impurity that leaks out beneath those walls seems to giving in some mild overwhelming presence that can't take sure if it's dense or not.
Whenever she spoke or hear that name, she always shaking up. Her chest aching as she tried her best to forget that person, but the trauma of what nearly happened to her kicks in. Right now, she's shaking to an extent, she lose her balance and almost fall. Thanks for Meliodas, he caught her in no time. He knows what Asuna's been through. So he gave her a look of relief and spoke.
"Don't worry. Now that I'm here, I'll never let anyone who will hurt you, whenever you try to stand up and protect." He gave her his very best smile, which Asuna tears up and hugs him to the fullest.
They broke the hug and look at the house, with full of determination and grit Asuna have. The both of them walk through the door of confrontation, touched the seemingly cold yet precious looking handle and opened it.
-To Be Continued.
