Floor 11

Another day of horrible hunting, but this was the best ever since floor 10. The hunting grounds became more hard to come by. But I finally hit level 40 and I have enough KOL (the game's currency) for a new sword. I learned that they sold some alcohol and cigarets, so I got some when ever I got the chance. I took out my last cigaret and light it with the incinerator, which is like a lighter. As I walk to the town, my last cigaret vanishes from my mouth. 'well that's a sign telling me to restock on items'. When I enter the nearest, shop I headed straight for the clerck. "I need two packs of cigarets, a bottle of wiski, six healing crystals, and a new pair of gloves." As the items appear on the counter top,the price popped up in my menu. '250, a lot more than I thought, oh well' I payed for the items and left the shop.

As I walk through the town, I look through the windows of shops and resteraunts until one window catches my eye. 'Kirito, what's he doing with some guild?'. I snuck into the resteraunt and tried to get as close to their table as possible. once I got close enough, I hide behind a plant. They raise their glasses "to Kirito, for saving our lives"

"CHEERS!" 'oh, so he just helped, good, at least he does a better job then me'. I looked at the group and I notice a girl with very dark blue hair. 'gotta admit, she's pretty cute, but doesn't look that strong'. The leader of the group leans over to Kirito and asks for his level. "I'm, level 20".

A dead lie, so I sneak behind him and see next to his HP bar... 40! 'Dam, he sure is quick.' the leader is amazed by the number and asks Kirito to join the guild. "We could use people like you, and we were thinking of putting Sachi in the front lines so we can stand a chance with not just one person", he asks as he pats the dark blue haired girls head.

'So her name is Sachi, cute, wait, what just went through my head.' As I shake my head in distrust, I over hear Kirito agree as they all cheered for joy. 'Kirito is in a guild, this should be interesting'.

I decided to follow the guild back to their inn and tailled them for a while. I know it seemed weird, but they could give me some good leftovers to sell, and they could clear the way through dungeons. After a couple of weeks, they soon got stronger and stronger, but so was the tie between my eyes and Sachi. She was weak, but brave and bashful, and cute and... you get my point.

One day, they were staying at an inn in floor 15 after deciding on buying a house. I was just chilling in an ally, smoking one of my cigars. Then I heared foot steps from behind me. I turn to see who it was to find... Sachi! "Hey miss, shouldnt you be in a inn at this hour?" She didn't respond, she just looks at the ground. I start to get worried, "Did you here me, you should go home."

I take a step closer and she looks up startled. Her eyes were sad, and she began to talk. "Could you please follow me?" she asks as she walked past me. I hesitated, but followed any ways. We soon left the town walked into a quiet meadow. The meadow was vast and empty, nothing but grass for miles. Soon she stops walking and slowly turned around to face me. "Could you do me a favor?" she asks in a gloomy voice. I answered yes, but then I wish I hadn't. She looked into my eyes, and slowly stretched her hands out. "Kill me."

A wind blew all the grass in the meadow as those words came out of her mouth. my heart felt like it was going to stop. 'Did she just ask what I think she did. But why?' she looks at me with tears ready to fall in her eyes, "Please, end my life. I want to leave my guild, to leave Aincrad, to leave this world. So please, run me through with your sword, I wont hold a grudge."

My heart was pounding so fast I couldn't count. I slowly drew my sword, with trembling hands. 'Why am I hesitating, she doesnt even know me, she is not my friend, but why is this so hard?' I held my blade in position to strike, she had her eyes wide open, ready to take the punishment. I pulled my sword back for the stab, as I aimed for her heart I looked at her face. She had closed her eyes, but I saw a different face. My sword heading straight towards her, my mind remembered some one. 'NOOOOOOOOOO!'...

Sachi opened her eyes to see me, with my sword stabled directly into the ground."I can't do it!"

She looked at me with tears in her eyes, "Why, why did you spare me, you don't know me, so why!" she screamed bursting into tears. She slowly fell to her knees crying at my choise. "Why can't I leave this world, why can't I just die now, before I die alone?" I look up at her with fear and the need to comfort her, but I couldn't move. 'Is she that much like her?' As she cries, I see her hand go to her sword, 'No, she cant think of suicide'. As she pulls her sword out I grab her hand. She looks at me with fear and confusion on her face as the tears still fell, "Let go of me, let me die now, just let me, why are you stopping me..."

"Because you're not going to die!" When I screamed those words, everything went quiet. She stops her tantrum and looks at me with disbelief, and her eyes began to water again. She started to cry, letting go of my sword I caught her and let her cry in my arms. I held her close and carringly as she cried, "you're not going to die, because, I'm going to protect you from death."

Her crying began to quiet as I whispered into her ear, I will protect you from death, and soon she fell asleep. I slowly picked her up in my arms and looked at her sleeping face. 'What did I just promise to her?' she smiled a bit in her sleep and I let out a sigh,' oh well, I always keep my promises'. As I walked through the meadow, I noticed some one in the distance, 'Kirito'. I slowly put her down in the grass, and ran off. After a mile of running, I looked back to see Kirito pick up Sachi and take her home. 'Kirito is not the only one with a lot on his plate now.' I grinned as waked off to the next town.
