Floor 35

Its been quiet a while since this death game started. About a year. People have started to get accustomed to the monsters and life in this game. As for most swords men, they're in the front line fighting to end this game. I go to the front line once in a while, but I have someone else to protect.

Sachi is getting better at this game. She even can hold off a couple monsters on her own, but as we go higher I find it that I have to protect her from more then just monsters. Some players were ether taking this game too lightly, or have gone completely insain. We were attacked by a random stranger one day. He came at us as if we were monsters and almost cut Sachi in half. She was pretty shaken up about that after words and now its my job to protect her from everything in this game. My only worry is how far people will go for a game you can die in.

After a day of fighting off monsters, me and Sachi are exhausted. As I put my sword away, I turn to see Sachi trembling in exhaustion. "I think that's all for today Sachi, lets go back to the town for now." I tell her as she puts her sword away.

She looks at me as chearful as ever, "Ok!" As we walk back she tries to make a conversation with me, which she should know is not the smartest thing to do. I'm not the type who likes to talk. "So, um Katzugami, when do you think we are going to get you a new sword" she stutters as she looks towords the ground.

Normally I wouldn't say anything, but I stop and think about it for a second. As I slow down, Sachi keeps walking until she sees that I'm about a yard behind her. "Hey, Katzugami are you alright", she asks as she tries to match my slow speed to see my face.

'Sachi is right, my sword is preaty worn out. It'll break at this rate.' As I ponder on where to get a new sword from, Sachi is trying hard to get my attention.

"Hey K-A-T-Z-U-G-A-M-I!" I get so startled I fall back onto the ground. Sachi had yelled right into my ear after five minutes of silence from me, her face as red as a tomatoe with a small frown on it. I looked at her with a confused face, "what the hell was that for?"

I get up and pull out my sword from its skaple. She immediately backed off and was in total fear, then it clicked that she is getting the wrong idea. "Oh sorry Sachi, I was just wanted to thank you for reminding me that I should get a new sword soon."

I begin to rubs the back of my head in embarrassment and put away my sword. She looks at me with relief and sighs, " thank goodness. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you there is a friend of mine that's a blacksmith, she's really good. Many she can get you a good sword."

That could be ok, as long as it's a friend. "Ok, tomorrow we'll see her. But I need to stock up before we go."

She then gives me glare that sent chills down my spine, and I know why she does that stare. Even though this is a game, she doesn't like the fact that I am a smoker and a bit of an alcoholic.

As we walk through town she says she will get the supplies. "I don't really trust you when you buy food, so you find us a good place to sleep."

I was going to protest but she had a point. "Fine, I'll message you when I find one ok." She nodded her head energetically as she giggled and hurried to the market.

I found a nice little inn around the center of town next a fountain. I sent Sachi the messege and the location and she said she would take a little while longer. I started to look around, when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to see a girl with bright fire red hair and lips. "Hey there, if I'm not correct, you're the 'white blood'."

My eyes grow wide as hell when i heard that, because I knew what's going to happen next. I pull up my messege box and send Sachi a messege ' I got to do something, so I'll be at the inn late'. I put it away quickly and grabbed her wrist. I haulled her to an alley nearby, "alright, what do you want?" I asked in an emotionless voice.

She smiled and looked into her menu, "all I want is your service" she said as a big bag of COL popped in her hand.

She gives me the bag of 50K COL. I look around to see if anybody is nearby, "alright, what is the target?"

She sends me a message with the time and place she knows the target is going to show up. I read it thoroughly to see it was nearby. 'It's just outside the city, so i shouldn't be out to late.' I accept the money and open my menu, "the target will be killed before midnight, all I need is the name."

She smerks, "So this how you do your job hm, fine White Blood, his name is Dadario a game broker. He owes me for the false info he handed me, so I want his head on a platter" she said in a devilish tone.

She then walked off into the busy town, 'how the hell did she find me so easily, I thought that guild was going to be the last'. Suddenly I get a message from Sachi, 'ok, I'll be waiting at the inn again, please be carfull, good luck on your special job!' If she only knew what this special job was. Ya, I'm a hitman, and I didn't want this job, but when Sachi was attacked by that rouge player, she bonked her head on a rock and passed out. The guy kept attacking, and I couldn't block for long. And by accident, he slipped and stabled himself into my sword. If you kill someone, your curser turns from green to orange for a couple days, indicating you killed someone. But for some reason it didn't. I apperrently have this skill called 'silent murder' which makes my curser stay green. I kept that a secret from Sachi and told her he ran away. This got out to murder guilds and they threaten me with messeges that if I do a job, they won't hurt Sachi. Its been like this for a month now and told Sachi it was a special job to keep her from worrying.

I left the ally and started to the spot where the target was going to be. It was in the outskirts of town where there were a bunch of trees and a small field. I hid in the trees and put on a cloche that covered my whole body, my sword ready. After a while, he walked by the spot but was shaking. He probably was scared and knew what was going to happen. Is that women really that serious? I tried to move to a better position, and accidently knocked a branch. The dude ran to the town as fast as he could, but I was faster and sprinted after him. I grabbed him by the throat and tossed him to a tree. I pinned him up against it, holding his throat so he couldn't yell and grabbed my sword. His eyes were filled with horror as he mouthed 'please don't'. I looked at him and mouthed something. 'I'm sorry'

I got back to the inn to see Sachi waiting for me as usual. She runs up to me, "oh thank goodness you came back alright, I was starting to worry."

I look at her with my usual face, not too happy but not too strict. "of cource I'm fine, you know I'm not going to die so easily, oh and look how much I made"

I pull a bag of COL and Sachi's eyes grow massive, "Wow! That is a lot of COL. This job of yours is very prosperous to give that much."

I smile and laugh 'yah and it is also dangerous for both me and you'. As we both walk in, I see Kirito with someone, a girl! Sachi sees him too and waves at him. "Hey, Kirito!" Kirito turns to see Sachi running up to him.

He looked happy to see us again, "Hey Sachi, nice to see you again. I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine."

I catch up to Sachi to hear what Kirito had to say, "This is Silica, I'm helping her get her dragon Pina back to life."

The girl named Silica was small and brown hair with two pigtails and ember eyes. Silica bowed her head to us, "n-n-nice to meet you, any friend of Kirito is a friend of mine."

Sachi gets a bit embarrassed, but when I looked at her face, I felt like I'd seen her before. "Hey, my name is Katzugami, and this is Sachi, nice to meet you."

She immediately flicked her head up and hid behind Kirito in fear. Then it clicked, she knew what I did and what my name is. She points at me with her hand trembling like hell, "Y-y-y-your K-K-K-K-Katzugam-m-mi, the W-W-White Bl…"

I instinctively covered her mouth and dragged to a corner where nobody could hear us. I could see Kirito and Sachi with very confused looks on their faces, Sachi's was a bit mad. I removed my hand from Silica's mouth when the coast was clear. "HELP MEE..." she screamed immediately.

I recovered her mouth and tried to calm her down. "Look, I'm not who you think I am, but if you yell that then it will make a sceen", I said in a hushed voice. Just don't scream please?"

She nods her head and I remove my hand from her mouth. She takes in a deep breath to calm herself. She tells me that there was a hitman that killed players and never could be found. "Rosalia, the leader of the party I use to be in told me his real name was rumered to be Katzugami, but I thought it was just a rumor..."

I grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her closer, " What was her name?!" Everybody in the inn looked in our direction, Sachi and Kirito came towards us wondering what we talking about. I let go of Silica and apologized for my rudeness. "Lets go Sachi, it was great to see you again Kirito and it was nice to meet your new friend."

"Hey, Katzugami..." Sachi was in my room and asked to speak about something important. "What was it that Silica was going to say, something about white."

I turn to look at her, she was sitting on the bed while i was on a chair. She had a very concerned look on her face. "You dont have to worry about it. She just got me confused me with someone else", I said reassuringly, but it seemed it didn't work.

She had a very concerned look and I felt as if she knew that I'm hiding something. She looked into her menu and a pull out a bag with something lumpy in it. It was filled with COL! She poured all the COL onto the bed, and a box was the last thing to fall out. Sachi opened the box and inside was a letter. She gave it to me with force so she must be mad at what it says. I see that the letter was opened already so I read it. 'Thanks for the help on that last guild we knock out. Grant it one did survive, but you did your job well White Blood. We'll call you when we need to exterminate some else, or did you not forget our deal. This is just some extra COL for your hard work. See you soon mister hitman.'

My hands were trembling at the fact that they knew where I was and how they got of hold of Sachi so fast. My heart was racing so fast that I could be having a heart attack in the real world. 'Did Sachi realy read this'. I look at Sachi and her face was dark "what do they mean by 'when we need to exterminate someone else'?" I stayed silent, because i was afraid of what to say. "Tell me White Blood, tell me!" She stands up with anger and hatred in her eyes, but in the corner I could see a small tear. 'Sachi'. She slowly changes from anger to sadness and practically collapses on the bed. "I trusted you, and you turn out to be a murderer, why Katzugami" she continues to wimper and cry without looking at my face. It hurts me more then any monster ever did. Then I get an idea, so I look for my sword. As it apears in front of me, I grab it. Sachi quiets her crying and looks at me, "you cant kill someone in a safe zone." I lift the sword and ram it strait to the chest.

I gasp in the pain and continue to push it through, till the hilt touches my chest. Sachi is now in complete shock as my face twisted in pain. I slowly pull the sword out of my chest as red bits of data seeped and squirted out. As it was half way out, I redeed myself for a second pierce. But, Sachi grabbed my hands and pulled the sword out. By now my health bar was half-way gone I was gasping for air. Sachi threw the sword and looked for a healing crystal. She used it, and almost immediately slapped me across the face as my health fully recovered. Her face was half crying and half angry. "Why, are you always going to hurt me like this?" She hugs me and continues to cry, "Don't leave me, and just learn what you were doing wrong, please. It's that I-I-I lo... I grab her by the shoulders and look her strait in the eyes. Her eyes and nose were red from crying so much.

"What I do is for a reason. Everything I do is for a reason. Some these reasons are unjust, and some are ok. I know what you want, but before I accept you like that, you have to accept my actions and the reasons. That is all that you need to do to stay with me like that, ok."

It went completely quit, all the sounds were so distant to us. She looked down and mumbled, "I accept…"

I thought I was loosening my shit 'did she really accept that, she really grew a lot more than I thought'. I smile warmly, "I love you Sachi."

She looked up at me, eyes bulging at me with joy printed on them. She sees a warm smile of care and love. I close my eyes and lean my face closer to her and she stretches her neck to reach mine. The gap grew smaller and smaller until our lips connected. To me, my mind exploded bliss and joy, 'I hope you agree with me Mykayo'.

Sachi was waiting for me outside of the market after restacking our supplies. I was out doing something that needed to be done before we left. Sachi was standing outside waving at me. "Where were you Katzugami, I almost thought you were avoiding me", she said twiddling her thumbs.

I put my hand her head with reassurance, "it was nothing, just a problem with a customer."

Thanks for being patient with these chapters. I'll be trying to post more chapters soon, so expect more. Se-ya!
