Yeah...Been a long time huh? *laughs nervously* Well you've FINALLY got an update so here it is! I apologise for the long wait! I have a longer authors note at the end of this chapter. Also I'm using the real guild of the Black cats of the full moon. I mean they're going to die anyway...

"Here's to us, the Black cats of the full moon!"

"Cheers!" Metal cups clanked together.

"And here's to our saviour Sasuke-san, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Thank you."

"You saved us!"

"Thank you so much." Sasuke looked over at Hinata, he was glad she took his advice and joined a guild, and they were nice people too. She looked at him and smiled.

"Don't worry about it." He said, when he came to save them, she looked very scared however, he wondered why. Hinata was very strong and fast in battle when they fought together. So why was she...?

"Um Sasuke-san, I realise this is prying, but mind telling us your level?" Keita, the guilds leader whispered.

He didn't want to tell them his real level... "Around level 20." He lied and stared at his drink. Hinata knew Sasuke was lying...He was far too strong to be on that of a low level... He was much higher than that, she knew.

"Wow, that's pretty close to ours. I'm amazed you survived on your own." Keita said with astonishment...If only he knew...

"Don't be so polite; solo-players like me only target lone mobs. It's inefficient." Sasuke said vacantly.

"O-oh...I see." Keita looked away, and then an idea came to him. "In that case, Sasuke, I know it's not a very good time to ask, but how about joining our guild?" Sasuke looked at Keita with surprise... They wanted him to join their guild?

"This girl here is Hinata." Keita said walking over to her. They hadn't mentioned anything about knowing each other, so the other guild members didn't know they met.

"She is a very good fighter and incredibly fast but when thrown into combat she gets scared and freezes up sometimes. It's only happened a few times though." Hinata looked away, she wondered what Sasuke thought. He told her she was a good fighter...But now? These days when thrown into combat she would freeze, not knowing what to do. Why was she doing this to herself? What was wrong with her?

"Everyone here, besides Hinata, is a member of our schools PC research club." Keita said with a smile as the other members excluding Hinata smiled and nodded.

"Oh but don't worry about that, you'll fit right in, just like Hinata, no doubt about it. Right?"

"Right!" The others agreed and Hinata smiled at Sasuke, her eyes revealing joy and sadness at the same time. Sasuke looked up at her and into her lavender orbs. His fists tightened as he looked down.

"Then...I accept. Thank you..." He nodded with a small, barely visible smile. The members' faces' lightened up as they gasped and laughed in joy, they then began introducing themselves.

~The next day~

He looked over at Hinata as they battled the Killer Mantis' Scythe, she looked scared...Not how he saw her battle, the Mantis hit her shield with one of its scythes and he saw her gasp in fright.

"Hinata, step back." He told her and she quickly obliged. He ran towards the Mantis and chopped of one of its scythes "Tetsuo, switch!" He called out.

"Right!" Keita yelled making a dash for the Mantis. He slashed through the mantis with his weapon and it crumbled into crystals, he grinned.

"Alright!"

"Awesome!"

"Cool." Sasuke smirked in satisfaction.

"Congrats..." Hinata smiled and looked at Sasuke who still had a smug smirk on his face. He is a...Nice guy.

~Later at night~

"Naruto..." Sasuke looked down to see his best friend and team killed a wolf.

Naruto closed his eyes and sighed putting his sword back in his place. He looked up and saw Sasuke.

"Whoa, Sasuke? Hey guys I'm leaving the mobs to you!" Naruto called out with a wry grin. He quickly ran up the hill.

"I haven't seen you around alot teme, where've you been!?" He laughed, still wearing that grin of his. "Yo...Sasuke did you join a guild?" Sasuke looked away and then down.

"Yeah." Sasuke sighed inwardly and started walking away.

"Sasuke...Hey where do you think you going? I haven't seen you in such a long time and you leaving already!" Naruto yelled, infuriated at his best friend as well as rival. Sasuke turned around and frowned.

"I know that! I just...I have to go okay?!" Naruto said nothing as the raven head kept on walking.

"Hinata." After receiving Keitas message, Sasuke easily found Hinata; he didn't understand why she ran away. What was going on with her? What happened to the Hinata who bravely fought the boss alongside him?

Hinata looked up and turned her head. "Sasuke?"

"Everyone's worried." Hinata looked away and held her knees closer. Why did he come looking for me?

"Sasuke...Why can't we leave? Why is our life at stake when this is only a game...? What's the point...?" Hinata asked him, on the brink of tears.

"There's probably no meaning to it." Sasuke said looking down.

"I'm afraid of dying." Sasukes eyes widened as he looked at Hinata in astonishment.

"You're afraid of dying...?"

"I'm so scared...I just...I'm scared...I don't know what to do anymore." She trembled, her hair foreshadowing her eyes.

"You won't die." He said seriously.

"How do you know...?" She looked up and turned her head towards him.

"The Black Cats are not a weak guild. We're also taking extra precautions in ascending floors. Moreover, Tetsuo and I are here, so you don't need to fight as a vanguard, even though you have the potential to do so."

"Do you think I'll really survive...?" Sasuke simply nodded.

"Of course you will. Because you are going to be the girl you were when we were fighting that boss." Hinata smiled as tears streamed down her face in happiness.

"Thank you, Sasuke...But what do you mean?"

"Hinata, you are strong and have incredible speed. Remember when we fought that boss? Were you showing fear then? No, you weren't. What's wrong now, Hinata? Why are you so afraid? You weren't thinking about dying then, they don't think about it now. Just fight...Be the girl you were then when we were fighting that monster. Be strong."

~The next day~

"Well then, I'll be right back! Teleport to Starting town." Tetsuo said with a wave as a bright light engulfed him and he disappeared.

"I didn't know it'd be this exciting buying our own house."

"That's something an old man would say." They all started laughing as Sasuke smiled...He liked this guild.

"Hey let's go make some cash while Keita's off buying our new house."

"Then how about going to one of the upper dungeons?" Sasuke frowned slightly.

"Wouldn't our usual hunting spots be better?" He suggested. He had a bad feeling...

"It'd be more efficient in the upper dungeons."

"At our levels we'll be fine." Still, the bad feeling didn't leave him.

They were currently on the 27th floor, the Dungeon.

"See? This is no problem for us." Sasuke felt as if he should go back, he didn't like this place, not because he was afraid but because he had a dreadful feeling about this place. The others kept talking and before he knew it Ducker had opened a hidden door. Wait...A hidden door? Here? His eyes widened. Shit...!

He gasped as Ducker opened the door with a smile. "It's a treasure chest!" The blonde called out in excitement.

"Wait!" Sasuke frowned and called out, they didn't listen however. Ducker opened the chest with a joyful expression and then an alarm went off and doors in the walls started opening and monsters started appearing.

"It's a trap!" Hinata gasped and shifted over closer to Sasuke. She took out her sword prepared to fight. She made a vow to be strong in order to survive...She was going to be the girl she was when she and Sasuke fought that Boss together. She wasn't going to be afraid.

"Guys! We need to get out of here!" Sasuke yelled his sword in his hand.

Ducker took out his teleporting crystal and shouted, "Teleport to Taft!" twice. It wasn't working. Hinata tried too, still nothing.

"So this is an anti-crystal area." Sasuke said and muttered, 'damnitt' under his breath. The monster started attacking, a few ganged up on Ducker who was defenceless and killed him. Hinata gasped and Sasuke started fighting. There were so many of them...They eventually got Keita and he was killed too, soon all the guild members were dead besides Hinata and Sasuke. Hinata wanted to cry so badly, but wouldn't, not yet. They would make it out alive.

"S-Sasuke." Hinata cried into his shirt, they were currently sitting on a bench. "T-they're g-gone." Sasuke sat there motionlessly and let Hinata cry into him.

"It's my entire fault. They're dead because of me...I should've known." Hinata cried harder and sat up.

"No! It's not! How were y-you supposed to know that it was a trap? You could've done nothing to save them Sasuke! P-please... Don't blame yourself..." Sasuke looked at her and then looked away again.

"I..."

"It's not your fault." She chocked up wiping her tears away.

~The next day~

"Sasuke...I'm going to become stronger and find a guild, I'm going to become one of the strongest players in SAO and help beat this game. Do you think I can do it...?"

I was going to ask her if she wanted to become my partner... I can't do that now...

"If you set your mind to it I don't doubt that you can." Hinata smiled.

"I guess then I'll begin my journey then. I would ask you to join me...But."

"You know I can't. I'm a solo-player." Hinata nodded sadly and then hugged him.

"Goodbye Sasuke." He hugged her back.

"Goodbye Hinata..." I'm sure you will become one of the strongest players...Until we meet again.

And with that, they went separate paths.

Well...Hinata played as Sachi! ^^

I'm thinking of making TenTen as Lisbeth, Silica as Sakura and Suguha as Ino...Still thinking. As for Yui...How about Yui as Yui?

There is NO one who CAN play Yui from Naruto. And re-placing Yui will be like um...Me deleting this story for me! How can I re-place Yui? T^T So yeah...Yui as Yui, Yui is like perfect as their daughter, I mean she and Hinata have the same hair colour and look a lot alike.

Now for Akihiko Kayaba...I made up my mind and Nagato/Pein will play him! Thanks for all the suggestions for the girls and Akihiko! :D I'm finally done with my exams so I can update now! ^^

Please review and bye! ^^
