As I lay in my bed of the inn, the cold air whipped through the open window as the sun rose over the horizon. My mind was still processing what I did the other night.' Why did I make that promise, she probably thought I was a lunatic. But I cant take it back or she'll know I was following them this whole time.' As I got out of bed, I left the inn and as I open the door to the inn, I saw the guild I was following. They looked like they were going to move out to a dungeon. I got closer to the guild to hear what they were saying. But once they were in herring range, leader left for the teleporter. They all looked happy," I didn't know buying a house would be so exciting" cheered one of them. The others agreed," hey, why don't we go make some extra cash for furniture and stuff."
"Ya, let's go to some of the higher floor dungeons and get some money faster" suggested another one. most of the agreed, but Kirito thought against in."Don't worry about it, with our levels, we can't loose." They cheered as they moved out. As they left I was about to leave when I saw Sachi with a uneased look in her eye. Then she turn to my direction and I hid from her sight around a corner.' Well, might as well keep going, nothing else better to do'.
Floor 17
As the guild ventured through the dungeon, they vanquished every monster they came across. I continued to follow them as went further into they dungeon, but I noticed that Sachi was still unease. They had gone pretty far in," man this is to easy" exclaimed one of them as he ran towards a wall. He placed his hand on it and a door in the wall open."score!" They cheered as they ran inside.'wait, I heard that door was a... TRAP!' As if on que, the door closed before a wierd alarm sound went off. I ran to the door as fast as I could, trying to open it. From the other side I heard yells of pain and agony. The opened and only two of the five were still standing strong, Sachi and Kirito. They were both struggling to fight off they horde of beasts. I ran in with sword in hand charging battle. As I ran in I saw Sachi bush back at some rock monsters as Kirito ran towards her, but another was about to slash her in the back. I knew Kirito wasnt going to make it, but I was! The beast was about to hit her I yelled"GET DOWN!" I cut the rock monster in half before it hit Sachi, and I grabbed her and pulled her towards me for protection. She had fainted as Kirito ran up to me with his sword on guard," get Sachi out of here!" He yelled," ill cover you both." I nodded my head as I picked up Sachi in my arms ran for the exit as fast as we could.
Floor 17 Town Square
From afar I see Kirito talking to the leader of the half killed off guild. The leader looks in my direction with complete shock in his eyes as I still hold the passed out survivor of the trap. Then the leader looks back at Kirito and says something to him and then walks off. Kirito looks at me and then at Sachi as he walked towards me. Once he got to me, he opened his menu and grimaced in pain."What happened?", I ask as he closed his menu."He killed himself" Everything was still as all that was heard was the wind and Sachi's calm breathing. 'Why would he commit suicide when there was someone beside Kirito that survived. As I try to think on what to do, I hear a moan come from Sachi as she started to wake up. She opened her eyes to see me. "Sachi, are you alright?" she looked away from me and started to stare at Kirito try to make sure she was alive. Then shock went to her face, probably at our health bars. Her eyes soon began to water as she finally found out she was still here. She looked at me again and grabbed my shirt and started to rain tears. She sort of had are reason to cry because we were close to death and had no healing crystals on us. She didn't stop crying until we tried to calm her down. When the down pour of tears slowed down, she was able to talk a bit, more like whimper. "W Why did you t two save me?" Kirito didn't say anything, as if he wanted me to answer. I looked at Sachi and she had cried so hard her eyes were all red. I take a deep breath in as I wonder what to say. 'Just say it dumb ass!'. I look at Kirito and he nodded as if he knows what going through my head, so I look back as Sachi as if she is waiting for it. "Because, I promised you'd survive this game and go home didn't I?" Sachi looks at me as if she was dreaming, so does Kirito before he smile at me. I look at Sachi again to see her crying, but not with tears of sadness, but joy. "So it wasnt a dream, thank goodness" whispers Sachi she silently cried in joy. I look at Kirito, "lets talk back at the inn."
Sachi and I are sitting on the bed of my inn room as Kirito sat on a chair facing us. Before I could say something, Kirito speaks first, "Katzugami, before you say something, I would like to thank you." I'm pretty surprised before he started to speak again. "The other night, I found Sachi passed out in a field and took her back. When she woke up she said a strange man she never knew promised to protect her. At first I told her it was a dream, but as we were going through the dungeons before, I felt like we were being watched. When the trap activated,I couldn't save anybody. All that was left was Sachi, and I thought I was going to lose her too. But then, all of a sudden, you came out of nowhere to protect her, for that, I thank you" he said as he bowed his head. I was amazed he could be so thoughtful for someone so strong. Unlike me. Then suddenly, Sachi bows her head, "I also thank you for saving me, and..." she stops as she stats to blush. "And what?" I questioned as her face turns even redder. Kirito just laughs as Sachi couldn't finish her sentence.
We stayed at the inn overnight, and in the morning, Kirito had gone who knows where and only leaves a voice message. "I'm sorry for being unable to protect you Sachi, but I feel you are safe with Katzugami. So please Katzugami, take care of Sachi for me, she is on my friend list. And you are too. Message me if anything happens ok, and don't take dangerous risks. Bye."
As the message box floats back onto the bed, me and Sachi look at the used message box as its light dimmed away. Then we both immediately look at each other, her face was as red as a cherry and mine turned light pink. 'Dam that Kirito, he probably knew from the start and pretended he didn't notice'. I look back at Sachi as she tried to hide her face. "So, do you know what you are going to do from here", I questioned
"no" she murmured
"Great, I guess", I sigh in grief. Then I say the stupidest thing ever. "Do you want to party with me?" Sachi looks at me with eyes of surprise and joy, yet she didn't say anything. So I pulled up my menu and sent her a request. As soon as I sent it, her whole face turned ripe apple red. She still lifted her shaking hand and hit the accept button. Her name appeared right underneath mine. When I noticed my health bar again, it seemed I didn't heal myself that well. "Woops! Must have forgotten to get supplies for healing. Want to get some?" she nods her head in reply.
When we got to the shop, I looked around for what I needed. Sachi was waiting for my choices, but was unpleased with some of the purchases. "What is all this?" she questions as the usual appears on the counter; a dozen loves of bread, 10 healing crystals, 2 packs of cigars, and a bottle of whisky. "It's my supplies for a while" I say as I pay for the stuff. When we leave the store, she looks at me with a weird expression. "Do you care about your health." She asks as I look through my inventory while I hold the incinerators. "It's just a game, besides, why do you care…" all of a sudden I see items in my inventory I never had. 'Keys and a deed' Then I remember that they were going to buy a new house. 'That Kirito' I think as I pop the deed into my hand and read the directions. I then show the deed to Sachi, "oh my god! How did you get that?" I look at her with a smile, "I guess it was a good-bye gift from Kirito.
