Sword Art Online / Alfheim Online Another Story

Chapter 3

Sorry I haven't done this in a while... In a LONG while... -.-'

Anyways, Let Kaoru and Akari's Story Begin! , Yeah!

Kaoru's POV

"Well..." For some reason, I couldn't choke it out. Was I scared? Impossible! That's impossible! I'm fearless... I think... I stood there frozen like a stone. "Hello? Kaoru?" Akari asked. I didn't answer. Akari got pretty mad that it looked like I was ignoring her, so, she yelled, "HEY! KAORU! WAKEY WAKEY!" She probably had it, because I still didn't answer. She clenched her fist, and then she screamed letting a high pitched sound go through my ears. I snapped out and covered my ears. "What the heck was that for?!" I yelled furiously. "You wouldn't snap out of it." She stated. "Out of what?!" I shouted while the sound echos through the forest. We were trying to hide for some reason. I didn't understand it. Akari just chased us out of town and into the forest. She didn't let me out of the forest, and now, I'm yelling. Now, if only what wasn't my last word that only echoed. Why don't you put the pieces together?

"What?!" Only echoes. "What was that? Is someone in trouble?" yelled a person. "Let's go after the sound and make sure no one is hurt!" Yelled another person. "Yeah!" Agreed everyone else around.

I was annoyed since Akari was the one who explained it like that. She was jumpy around like an actual monkey now. Ugh... "Hey monkey! Why don't YOU snap out of it?" I asked nonchalantly. "Huh? oh um yeah!? Ha ha ha..." She laughs. "Wait, what was I doing again?" She asked all airhead-y (I guess.) again. "Yeah thanks... Wait, Hey! Slacker!" She yelled as she pointed at me. I laughed again. She looked at me blankly and then she smiled. She laughed again and then she walked over to me and...she hugged me. My eyes widened in shock and I stuttered, "W-w-what a-are you d-doing?!" She hugged tighter then she looked into my eyes with joy. "You are cute when you panic!" She laughed and then I tried to wiggle out. "That's rude." She says in a happy tone. "That's not convincing, now, w-why would you do that?!" I took a step back and got in a ready stance. "Because, you're the only person I can trust now." She says in one breath.

"Huh? W-what do you mean? Don't you have Kyo-" "No! Remeber what she did?! She took all my belongings and my home!" Akari yelled back. When she finally looked up, she was crying. I'm not good with tears. Not again... "L-look... I-I'm sorry okay?" I said taking a step back. "Ha, you've gotten used to saying sorry already. I guess you said it so many times, that you got used to it!" She held her hand to her chest as she walked closer to me. My expression turned angry and I yelled back, "So what!? Are you saying that I've hurt you so many times, that I'm used to saying sorry?! Well, I don't need this..." I turn around and start walking in the opposite direction thinking, Where did this go so wrong? "Where are you going?!" She asked with worry in her voice. "I'm going somewhere without you!" That was cold... Why did I say that? I have no control of my body whatsoever. I heard her sobbing from behind until I heard a thud and figured she fell on her knees crying. I clenched my teeth and tried ignoring her.

At least she forgot about my family... As I walk towards town, I look around anxiously. I haven't been outside for a while. It feels totally new. I grin and start walking further forgetting about you know who.

I keep walking until I reach an Inn. "Looks like I have enough money to get a room for the night." I mutter. I walk into the entrance and ask for a room. I was led to a small room that had two beds and a lamp next to them. It had a table and two chairs. I turn around and say, "I ordered a single ro-" Until I see someone in front of me. "Who are you? I asked. The girl looked up at me and said, "Hi! I'm Kara! I'm a swordsman." She hands out her hand to me. "Kaoru." I answer. I took her hand but suddenly, I felt a surge through me like I was getting electrocuted. I let go of her hand quickly and take a few steps back, wincing.

Third Person's POV

"What's wrong?" Kara asks. Kaoru flinched and then says, "N-nothing." He turns around and walks towards the window breathing unevenly. He doesn't notice, but Kara grinned behind him muttering, "Well done my little snakes." Kaoru heard something and turned around. "What was that?" He asked a suspiciously. "O-oh nothing! I said nothing." Kara panics. "Okay then..." Kaoru says cautiously. Kara just laughed 'shyly' and walked towards Kaoru. Kaoru then asked, "Why are you here? In my room?" Kara pretended to be clueless and went ahead and said, "Your room? This is our room." Kara makes a face like he said something rude. "S-sor-" Kaoru stopped. Somehow, it was harder to say Sorry. Kara made an amused face and continued his sentence, "ry?" "Y-yeah...that." Kaoru looks down to the ground putting his hand on his elbow. "Ok then! Why don't we get to sleep!" Kara suggested. "Wait! You still didn't tell me why you are in here."

Kaoru's POV

I was more determined now. If it wasn't for Akari- Oh yeah... Akari... I stopped being tense and just stood in a normal stance looking to the ground i shame. "What's wrong?" Kara asked. "Nothing..." I said in a lonely tone. "I'll tell you why if you're bummed about it. I think it's a stupid reason you're sad just because of that though." Kara suggested. I shook my head and walked to the beds. "I don't care anymore. Good night." I covered myself with the blankets and closed my eyes. I felt guilty for Akari crying now. Maybe because it was my fault. I'm sorry... For some apparent reason, it's only possible to say sorry to myself, in my thoughts, and to Akari... I clenched my fist and just laid there not caring in Kara is staring at me when I sleep. Actually, I hope she doesn't do that. Ew...

I just closed my eyes and fell asleep...

"Good Night." I heard. Now, Kara is going to say good night? In the middle of the night? I slowly took the blankets off to see Kara sleeping deeply. "Was that my imagination?" I muttered. Since I woke up, there was no point in sleeping again. I always thought of that. By now, I should be training, but... I didn't feel like it today. I walked up to the window and sat on a chair looking out to the lonely moon. Lonely. That's right. I'm lonely. I had a chance to have company and I chase her away. I clenched my fist while thinking of that. I turned furious, so, I punched the wall. The wall was an immortal object, so of course it didn't break. But, I ended up yelling anyways, "Why!? Why did everything turn out like this?! My life is horrible!" People started waking up and ran to my room trying to tell me to shut up. I just ignored them and kept punching the wall. "Kaoru! What is wrong with you?!" Kara yelled/asked. I fell to my knees and I muttered, "I'm sorry Akari. You were right.

Kara's POV

Things were getting interesting. Kaoru was getting all sensitive while I was blocking the doors from breaking. I heard him mutter about a person named Akari. I frowned, "Think of the present! Whoever Akari is, forget about her and move on! What? Was she your girlfriend?!" I yelled, Kaoru flinched then look back furiously which actually made me scared. "Don't ever make fun of my friend." He siade firmly. What's the use of holding a door that is going to fly open anyways? Kaoru then kicked the door really hard that made the people behind it fly back. He marched out of there angrily. I didn't chase him. Because this is just the beginning and it's going to get interesting. I grinned as he left. I stood there leaning against the door. I closed the door and muttered, "Good night everyone." I smiled and closed the door fully. I walked to bed and went to sleep thinking,

"Watch out, Kaoru and Akari."

Yay! It's getting interesting! Kara has been introduced to the cast, and wait to meet Akari again! And, a new character! , Yeah!
