Chapter 2: Asada and Sinon have fun at the beach

The same night that Suguha had her encounter with Leafa, Asada was on her computer looking at the quest she was planning to do with Suguha the next day. The quest was just a rumour, but if it was correct Asada would be able to obtain a legendary weapon. She was also looking at legendary Norse weapons, to see what she might get. After about an hour or so of browsing, Asada decided that it would be best if she got some sleep.

As Asada lived alone, she would often not wear clothes when she was just hanging around in her apartment. In this instance, she had been wearing only a light-blue bra with matching knickers with a large hoodie over the top. As it was warm, Asada took off her hoodie and decided to sleep in her underwear. She got into bed but spent the next hour or so tossing and turning, trying to get some sleep. She slept for about half an hour and then woke up. Asada checked her watch and found that it was 1:00am. She knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep in this heat, so she decided to log into ALO, where she could at least feel like she was in a cooler environment.

Asada put on her Amusphere and said: "Link Start!"

She was greeted by the stream of colour and circles indicating that everything was functioning correctly.

The instant that Asada was logged into ALO, she knew that something was wrong. For a start, she was on a beach, which wasn't where she had logged out. When Sinon had logged out, it was in her ALO apartment. The second thing she noticed was that she was in her underwear, the same ones that she had worn to bed. Asada wondered what was going on. She opened her menu to find that her username was 'Asada Shino'. The only items she had in her inventory were the light-blue bra and knickers she was currently wearing and a pair of glasses that was in there for some reason. She tapped on the glasses to equip them. Her vision improved. She had been perfectly able to see without them, but with them she could see slightly further like she could when playing as a cat sith. It was one in the morning like in real life. The tide was out and there was a small group of harmless crabs scuttling into the ocean. Asada decided that she needed to find out what was going on, so she went to see if she could find some other players. As she walked, Asada came upon an enemy. It was a giant crab. It was a rusty red and was around the same height as her. It let out its battle cry and charged (or rather, it scuttled) towards her. It was rare to see monsters on the beach, but it did happen from time to time. They were normally easy to deal with for most players, as the monsters that appeared were for cooking and basic potion-making. Asada instinctively reached for her bow, but remembered that she didn't have it. She could remember some spells, but that were either too high leveled for her to use as her avatar was now back at level 1, or they would be ineffective against the crab. Asada quickly saw that her only option was to run. As she ran back from where she had spawned where she came across another giant crab.

"Just my luck," she thought.

Just before the second crab saw her, Asada saw some pebbles in the sand. They reminded her of a story that Kirito had told her: Just before it was revealed that no one could log out of SAO, Klein had asked Kirito to show him how to play. After Klein had failed to take out a boar, Kirito had been able to use a pebble to get its attention, and had then been able to move its aggro over to Klein. Asada had heard something about ALO using the same engine as SAO so she wondered if it would work with these crabs but would allow her to turn them on each other while she got away. She knew that it was all or nothing as she picked up the pebble and threw it at the second crab. The pebble hit the crab on its claw. Its aggro had been activated. The crab charged towards Asada. The first one had almost caught up. Asada dove away as the two monsters hit each other with their massive claws. The two crabs had been distracted from Asada and began to fight each other. Asada decided to get as far away from the crabs as possible, so she ran into the water and swam far enough away that once the crabs had finished, they wouldn't go for her. As she swam away, she saw one of the crabs shatter into a rain of blue polygons. She breathed a sigh of relief as the other crab stayed where it was. Asada swam away as the other crab scuttled away in the other direction. She began to swim back to shore when eight long black tentacles appeared from the depths of the sea and grabbed her. They lifted her into the air just above the water. She struggled and tried to break free from their grasp, but they wouldn't let go. The other four tentacles began to feel and grope her body. One of them rubbed her crotch. Two of them played with her tits, and the third shoved its way into her mouth. It went in so far that she gagged. Asada bit it, causing it to leave her mouth. The others that had hold of her threw the girl faced down into the sand. Asada tried to get up and run, but the tentacles got hold of her again and held her down. They pulled down her wet knickers, exposing her arse and pussy. Two of the tentacles began to spank her arse. They continued until her cheeks turned a bright red.

"Stop!" she begged, but the tentacles continued to whip her.

Soon, Asada was lifted back into the air and had her bra ripped off her chest. The tentacles went back to what they were doing before she had bitten them. They played with her boobs and twisted her nipples, causing Asada to scream. One of them forced its way back into her mouth and forced her to suck on it. The last one poked her dripping entrance and teased her. "J-just get it over with," she whimpered.

Just as the tentacle was about to force its way into her, an arrow pierced it, causing the tentacle to retreat back into the water. Another arrow quickly got rid of the tentacle in Asada's remaining tentacles threw Asada back onto the beach and went straight for the fairy who had been firing the arrows. The fairy quickly fired six more arrows, disposing of the remaining tentacles.

Asada lay naked on the sand, feeling humiliated. Her saviour looked familiar. She had light-blue hair, similar to Asada's in style, and was wearing a green bikini. Asada had dropped her glasses somewhere on the beach, so she couldn't see her hero's face clearly.

"Shino!" called the fairy, "Shino!"

Asada's vision became even more blurred and her hearing became distorted. Within seconds, she had fainted.

Asada woke in an unfamiliar setting. She was laying on a sofa in front of a fire. She appeared to be in a small log cabin. She was still naked and was wrapped in a fuzzy green blanket. She looked around, the main room of the cabin was small. There were only two doors. One leading outside, and the other leading into another room. Asada wrapped herself in the blanket in case anyone else was around. She looked through the other door and found that it led into a small bedroom with a single bed. She decided against going outside as she had no clothes, so instead she sat back on the sofa and thought about what had just happened.

"I logged into ALO, spawned in a beach with nothing besides my underwear and a pair of glasses, escaped from giant crabs, was almost raped by tentacles but was saved by a stranger," thought Asada. She couldn't believe what had happened.

Asada was suddenly brought back to reality by the door opening. She stood, keeping the blanket covering herself. She was prepared for a fight, but was shocked to see that it was her avatar, Sinon entering.

"You're awake!" said Sinon. "I'm glad you're alright. I got your stuff fixed at the tailor's while I was out." Asada just stared at her avatar. "Hello?" said Sinon. "Anyone there?"

"Who are you?" asked Asada.

"I'm Sinon. It's nice to finally meet you, Shino!"

"But how?"

"Once a month the cardinal system logs all players out and then turns the avatars into AIs. It does this so that it can create more complex simulations and make sure that there are as few bugs into the algorithms for AIs as possible," explained Sinon "It's also used as an opportunity to check if an update will work before it's implemented."

"Where am I?" Asada asked.

"At a beach house I quickly rented for the night," said Sinon. She opened her inventory and got out Asada's underwear and glasses. "Here you go. I got them fixed at the tailor's. They should be fine for tonight."

Asada took them, still suspicious of the one calling itself Sinon. She put them in her inventory, then equipped them, still keeping herself wrapped in the blanket.

"Are you okay?" asked Sinon.

"Yes, I'm fine," answered Asada.

"Thank God," sighed Sinon.

"Why do you care so much?" asked Asada.

"Because you're my player, and I don't want anything to happen to you," said Sinon. "I bet you're tired. There's a bed, you can sleep in if you want."

"Thanks, but I'd rather go home," said Asada.

"You can't until morning, when it deactivates all the AIs," explained Sinon. "Just sleep. You'd be doing that anyway in real life and you logged on because you couldn't sleep."

"How do you know that?"

"I know pretty much everything about you. I know you like to sleep in game when you can't sleep IRL."

"I've only told that to a few others. In fact, it was Asuna who suggested it."

"That's because she did the same when she was readjusting from SAO to real life," said Sinon. "Come with me, I'll show you to your bed," she added, taking Asada's hand.

Asada was tired and decided there wasn't much else she could do besides trust Sinon.

"Here we go," said Sinon.

"Where will you sleep?" asked Asada.

"I don't sleep, silly," said Sinon. "I get one chance a month to do what I want. I'm not going to spend it sleeping. Anyway, I'll just be outside. I'm going to practice my aim."

"Okay. Thank you, Sinon," said Asada.

"No problem. Goodnight!"

"Night."

Sinon left the room and closed the door. Asada took off the blanket and got into bed. She quickly fell asleep.

Sinon left the beach house and strolled along the beach for a while. She shot any monsters she came across. It was a bit boring, as all the monsters were fairly low levelled and there wasn't much of a challenge to be had.

Sinon received a few messages asking where she was. She sent replies explaining that she was with Asada Shino, her player.

Five tentacles appeared out of the sea. She let one of them get close before stabbing it with her knife. Another shot out and tried to grab her, but Sinon fired an arrow, taking it out. Another two tried to work their way into her armour. Sinon allowed them to tease her a bit before slicing the tentacles swiftly with her knife. The final tentacle wasted no time in trying to get to her pussy. Sinon let it feel her her before killing it.

Any other time Sinon would have liked to let the tentacles fuck her, but it wasn't worth it with Asada to keep an eye on. She went back to the beach house to check on her player.

Asada was woken up after an hour's sleep by the front door opening and closing. "Must be Sinon," she thought. "I wonder if she's okay."

Asada got up and wrapped the blanket around herself again. She exited the bedroom to check on Sinon, who was sitting on the sofa. "What are you doing up?" she asked.

"I was woken up by the door," explained Asada.

"Sorry," apologised Sinon.

"It's okay," said Asada sitting next to her avatar.

"Why were there tentacle monsters earlier?" Asada asked out of curiosity.

"Every month, when avatars become AIs, the developers like to throw in some rejected concepts to further test the system," explained Sinon. "And as you experienced first-hand, some are a little weird."

Asada was speechless. A little weird? Some perverted freak had tried to incorporate tentacle rape in ALO. Sinon saw the look on Asada's face. "The tentacles are tame compared to the other rejected suggestions. Luckily, most of them never lasted more than a night here," she said.

Asada's curiosity had been aroused. She wondered what the other rejected concepts were. "What else has been rejected?" she asked. She was actually nervous to hear what they were.

"Well, there was an idea for female players to get pregnant by the tentacles and give birth to all sorts of weird things. That stuck around for about three months before it was removed," said Sinon. "There was also the idea that there could be a chance that any monster could try to rape players. That was here for one night, but was removed."

"Why do they get removed?" Asada asked.

"I don't know," Sinon confessed.

"It must be weird talking about ALO as if it isn't real for you," said Asada.

"A little," replied Sinon.

"How do you know so much?"

"We don't have a conscience most of the time, but once a month when this happens, we remember everything that you've done and said in ALO, and can also think for ourselves," Sinon explained. The whole idea of avatars being able to think for themselves made Asada feel guilty for controlling Sinon. "Sinon," she said. "Do you ever wish you could be like this all the time?" she asked.

"Sometimes," said Sinon. "But I know what happened when you were younger, and it makes me glad that you can come here to get away from that."

"You can see all my memories?" Asada was shocked.

"No. I know everything that you do here, but I can only find out things from the outside world if it's mentioned here."

Asada sighed in relief. She didn't know why, but it made her feel more comfortable knowing that Sinon didn't know everything about her. Even if the two did share a body on a regular basis. "So how do you know who the developers are?" asked Asada.

"We've cobbled it together from conversations players have had, or from avatars who are controlled by the developers," Sinon explained. "It took us a while, but we have a pretty good idea of who the developers are, and who the players are."

Silence overtook the pair. Asada stared into the fire, comprehending everything Sinon had just told her. Most of her doubts as to whether Sinon was telling the truth had faded. She thought over the fact that Sinon knew about what happened in the post office all those years ago. Asada listed the people who knew about it in her head. Kirito, Asuna, Lisbeth, her mum and her grandparents. The list was short. The only other person was...him. Kyōji Shinkawa. But he and his brother were both in prison for the death-gun incident. So if this was all a trick, how could they do it? They weren't due to be released anytime soon, so unless they escaped, it couldn't have been them.

Fatigue suddenly overtook Asada again. She fell asleep with her head on Sinon's shoulder.

Asada was eleven. She was in the post office with her mother. A man was waving a gun around and pointed it at Asada's mum. Asada bit the man and took his gun. She clenched her eyes shut and fired three times. When she opened her eyes, the man was dead on the floor.

Sinon didn't attempt to move Shino for fear of waking her. Shino began to mumble and thrash. Sinon stroked Shino's hair. "Shh," she whispered.

Asada was in her apartment. She and Kirito had just won Bullet of Bullets. There was a knock at the door. "No, not this," she thought. She didn't want to open the door, but couldn't stop herself. At the door was Sterben, who quickly became Shinkawa. Instead of trying to win her over, like what actually happened, he threw himself at Asada. She tried to push him away, but Shinkawa was too strong. Kirito ran in and pulled Shinkawa off her. The men scrambled on the floor, each trying to land a hit on the other. Shinkawa pulled out a needle and stabbed it in Kazuto's chest. Kirito collapsed on the floor gasping. His breathing stopped suddenly. Kirito was dead.

Asada screamed as Shinkawa got off Kirito's dead body and grabbed her. He threw Asada onto her bed. Shinkawa groped her breasts. "I love you, Shino!" he declared.

"Get off me!" Asada shouted. Shinkawa tried to pull up Asada's shirt. But Asada did her best to stop him. Shinkawa forced Asada into a kiss. Asada bit his tongue, causing Shinkawa to recoil.

"Why would you do that?" he said. "Don't you love me?"

Asada wanted to say no, but was frozen. Shinkawa stripped himself of his clothes. Asada couldn't help but look at his penis, which was throbbing and fully erect. "Do you like it? When I put this in you, we will be one!" He climbed back on top of her and pulled her shirt up.

Sinon was shaking Shino to get her to wake up. "Shino!" she tried. "Shino, wake up!"

"Get off me, Shinkawa!" moaned Asada.

Asada was naked with Shinkawa mounting her, ready to penetrate her virgin pussy. Tears were streaming down her face. "Are you ready, my love? We are about to become one!"

"No! No!" she cried.

"Shino! Wake up!" called a voice. It was Sinon! Shinkawa's tip was touching Asada's entrance, ready to fuck her.

Asada's eyes flew open. She gasped for breath.

"Shino! Are you okay?" asked Sinon, her face full of worry. Asada wanted to say that she was fine, and it was just a bad dream. Instead, everything came pouring out. "I was back at the post office, where I killed that man! Then I was in my apartment and Shinkawa killed Kirito and almost raped me!" she sobbed.

"It's okay now," said Sinon. "It was just a dream." Asada threw her arms around her avatar and pressed her face against Sinon's neck. "It was all so real!" she cried. "If you hadn't woken me up…"

"But I did," said Sinon. "Shinkawa isn't here. The bastard's rotting in prison." Sinon held her player close. "I'm here," she added, comfortingly.

Asada's breathing became steady and the tears eventually stopped. "Thank you, Sinon," she said.

"It's okay," replied Sinon. "The dream was probably triggered by the incident with the tentacles. If I'd gotten to you sooner…" Sinon didn't continue because she thought Asada was asleep.

"You got to me in time twice," said Asada. "Thank you."

"Can you sleep?" Sinon asked.

Asada nodded. "As long as you're here."

Sinon didn't get up, and neither did Asada. Sinon held Asada and watched the fire. Within a few minutes, Asada was breathing in a steady rhythm, indicating she was sleeping peacefully. Sinon carefully let go of Asada and stood up. Next, she picked up her player in her arms, bridal style. The green blanket slid off the sofa and onto the floor, revealing the light-blue underwear Asada had worn to bed IRL. In ALO, the blanket wasn't a fire hazard, so Sinon left it. She carried the brunette into the bedroom and lowered her on the bed, then covered her in the sheets. Just as Sinon was about to leave, Shino grabbed the Cat Sith's arm. "Don't go," she whispered.

"I'll only be in the next room," said Sinon.

"Don't go," Asada repeated, gripping Sinon's arm tighter.

"Okay, I'll stay," she said. Asada let go of Sinon's arm. Sinon opened her inventory and switched her armour for a short, thin white nightdress. She climbed into the bed next to Asada. "I'm right here she whispered before pulling the sheets over herself. Asada slid closer to Sinon and hugged her. Sinon wasn't bothered about the hug, but her tail was caught underneath Shino. Sinon tried to wriggle it out from underneath the brunette, but a Cat Sith's tail is surprisingly sensitive. In normal ALO, grabbing the tail is painful, but some developer had the idea to make it sensitive in a different way. On top of that, Sinon was still slightly aroused from messing around with the tentacles earlier. Just as her tail was almost free, Asada rolled over. The friction caused Sinon to involuntarily purr. She quickly put a hand over her mouth to dull the sound. Shino stirred slightly but didn't wake up. Sinon sighed in relief.

About an hour later, Asada had lost her deep sleep. Her sleep was now shallow and was being interrupted by moments of consciousness. Eventually, she couldn't sleep at all and was barely even dosing. She looked over at Sinon, who was asleep grasping her tail. Asada couldn't help but crack a smile. It was pretty funny seeing her avatar sleep holding her tail like a teddy bear.

Asada scooched closer to Sinon again. She felt comfort in knowing that someone was nearby, instead of her being alone, like she usually was in her apartment. She put her arms around the cat sith again before closing her eyes to try to get some more sleep.

Sinon's tail being rubbed against Asada's body caused Sinon to be woken up again. Her tail rubbed against Asada's bare skin. The sensation didn't help Sinon's arousell. She didn't have enough room left on her side of the bed to move away from Asada, and she didn't want to risk waking her by getting up and moving. Sinon slid her tail away from Asada. She lay next to the brunette, her arousal preventing her from sleeping. Sinon stared at Asada, taking in how peaceful she looked when she wasn't having nightmares. Sinon suddenly realised that something was rubbing against her crotch; it was her tail! Sinon was so horny that her tail was out of her control. "Damn!" she thought. "I need to end this quickly." She moved her hand to her crotch and pushed away her tail. Then she rubbed her entrance with her fingers. Her pussy was so wet that the patch of pre-cum dripped through her underwear. Sinon moved the crotch of her knickers to the side so that her fingers could enter her pussy. Sinon started slow, but quickly sped up. She wanted to do this quickly in case Asada woke up. Sinon had to bite her bottom lip to stop herself from moaning. This wasn't going to be the most satisfying masturbation she ever had, but she was so horny that it would do for now. As her climax was building, Sinon looked over to check that Asada was still asleep. The brunette's arms were no longer hugging the cat sith's chest. However, that wasn't Sinon's biggest concern. It was that Asada's eyes were open and she was blushing. Sinon slowed her fingering and realised that her tail was rubbing against something. That something was slightly moist. Sinon pulled her tail away the moment she realised what she had been doing. She wanted to apologise and run out straight away, but her fingers continued to slower finger her dripping wet pussy. "What are you doing, Sinon?" Asada asked. The brunette sat up and pulled the duvet to cover herself. As soon as she did, what Sinon was doing became perfectly clear. She was masturbating. Sinon suddenly stopped. She pulled her fingers out of her pussy and stared at Asada. Asada stared back into Sinon's turquoise eyes. There was something hypnotic about them. Before she knew it, Sinon had edged her way closer and pounced. Sinon grabbed Asada and pushed her onto her back. Sinon grabbed Asada's wrists and held them above her head then forced a kiss. Sinon forced her tongue into Asada's mouth and felt her way around. Asada tried to resist but the cat sith was too strong. Eventually, once Sinon had to come up for air, Asada shouted. "What are you doing, Sinon? Get off!"

"I'm sorry, it's too much," Sinon purred in response. She straddled Asada's hips and used her tail to tease Asada's pussy. Asada moaned in response to the touch.

Asada should have been terrified. She should have been angry at Sinon. Especially after her dream. But Asada found that she couldn't be angry. She was enjoying this more than she thought. "I'm sorry, Shino," said Sinon. "I can't stop. I think it's the rejected update to make cat sith players be more animalistic."

"Keep going," replied Asada. Sinon didn't need to hear that twice. She leant back down with her bum in the air, her tail still pleasuring Asada. The pair kissed again. But not for long. Sinon quickly broke the kiss and grabbed Asada's bra. Rather than unclipping it or allowing Asada to remove it in her menu, Sinon ripped it off. The light-blue bra disappeared in a shower of blue polygons to reveal Asada's perky C-cups. Sinon dug in. She stuck her face in the petite breasts, kissing and licking as much of them as she could. Sinon used one hand to play with Asada's left nipple and used her mouth to suck on the other. Asada gasped at the sensation. Sinon moved her mouth upwards to Asada's shoulder where she planted trails of kisses wherever she could. Asada slid her hand underneath Sinon's dress and then her bra. She thought it would be sexy, but instead Sinon stopped playing with Asada's tits and ripped her dress and bra off, allowing them both to shatter into a sea of blue polygons slowly revealing Sinon's own pair of C-cups. Sinon moved back down to Asada's tits. She kissed each, leaving some saliva on each nipple. She positioned her nipples just on Asada's and swirled them around. Asada continued to moan. She grew louder as the sensation became overwhelming. During all this, Sinon had been using her tail to slowly tease Asada. She had been slow with it so that Asada didn't cum. "Are you enjoying this, Shino?" she asked.

"Y-yes," Asada answered. "Don't call me Shino. Call me Asada." Sinon grinned and licked her lips. She stopped rubbing her nipples against Asada's. "Let's see how wet you are, Asada," Sinon purred, drawing out the word 'Asada'. Sinon changed position. She was straddling Asada with her back towards Asada's face. She ran her index and middle fingers along the moist patch of Asada's light-blue knickers. Her fingers picked up a lot of pre-cum. "Not quite ready," she remarked. Sinon moved back and positioned her pussy over Asada's mouth. She stretched the waistband as much as she could, sending their durability down to zero. They disappeared in a flash of blue polygons. Sinon pushed her pussy down onto Asada's mouth. Asada knew what to do straight away. She began to lick on Sinon's entrance. She allowed Sinon's juices to flow into her mouth. Sinon leaned over and rubbed her middle finger against Asada's entrance through her knickers. Asada moaned in between sucking Sinon's clit. Sinon groaned as she came all over Asada's face. Asada tried to move her head, but Sinon used her legs to keep the brunette in place. Sinon ripped off Asada's knickers to reveal her perfectly shaven pussy which she promptly began to finger. "Ohh, Sinon," Asada moaned. "It feels so good…" Sinon lay down on top of Asada so that they were in a sixty-nine position and sucked on her player's clit. Asada started licking Sinon's pussy again, but her tongue was too tired to fuck Sinon, so instead she rubbed Sinon's pussy with one hand and fingered with the other.

The pair moaned and groaned as they played with each other's pussies. Soon, it became too much for either of them. They both came. Sinon covered Asada's face with even more of her cum, while Asada soaked the bed with her own cum. Once her orgasm had finished, Sinon climbed off Asada and curled up next to her. Asada stroked Sinon behind the ears. She soon fell into a peaceful sleep listening to her avatar purr contentedly.

The next morning, Asada woke up late because of her late night. Her underwear was still intact and her glasses were on her desk where she'd left them. She removed her amusphere and stared at the ceiling. "Did that really happen?" she asked herself. "I really had sex with Sinon." After laying on her bed for a few minutes, she realised that she was horny. It was strange. She had two orgasms that night, yet she wasn't satisfied. It was as if she hadn't cum at all during her activities with Sinon. Asada got up and pulled a military green dildo out of her desk drawer. Her friend Lisbeth had given it to her for her birthday. Liz was actually pretty dirty when she was with the girls. If they were ever having a weird conversation, it was usually Liz who started it. Asada had found it weird that Liz would give her a dildo, but at least she hadn't received a strap-on attachment like Asuna had. But for now, Asada was grateful for it. She lay back down on her bed and removed her bra.

Asada turned the dildo on and rubbed it against the crotch of her knickers. A wet patch slowly started to form. Once she couldn't take anymore teasing, she pulled her knickers down and pushed the dildo inside. She slowly pushed it in and out, feeling the pleasure build up. She used her spare hand to rub her clit. "Ah! Ah! Ah!" she moaned, becoming louder until she came. Asada continued to pleasure herself. She still wasn't satisfied, despite having just came. She continued to masturbate as she had done before until she came for a second time. Once she had finished, Asada cleaned her dildo, got some breakfast, and logged into ALO to meet up with Suguha.

That's it for chapter 2! I hope you enjoyed it! Please leave a review telling me what I can work on. If you have any suggestions for pairings, please let me know.

In a review for chapter 1 someone suggested including characters from the Alicization arc. I haven't read the manga so I'm unfamiliar with this arc. I don't think I am going to be reading the manga very soon so it's unlikely that I will be able to include them. I also want to keep the story moving, so it's doubtful that they will be included. However, I may include them in future stories once either I've read the manga or the season three of the anime is released.

Next Time: Asuna and Erika go on an adventure!
