Chapter 4

I woke up on my bed. I pulled off my helmet, and put it on my table. I looked at my cell phone, and there wasn't any calls. I guess they actually don't know what a phone is. I stuck the cell in my pocket, and went downstairs.

Kirigaya was in the kitchen. She smiled when she saw me. "I'm glad you came out because you were in there for a long time. I was getting a little worried, " she laughed.

"Yeah I'm-" my phone buzzed in my pocket. "One second. " I told Kirigaya. "Hello""Uh huh" "Okay""I'll meet you at the bar.""See you there." I hung up the phone, and put it in my pocket. It was Levi, and he lived near my area. "I have to go." I said to Kirigaya.

"But why? Can we hang like we used to?"

"Not today."

She grabbed my arm, and pulled me closer. I lost my balance, and we fell into the ground. "I'm sorry." she said getting up. She held out her hand for me to grab it, and help me up. I decline the offer, and helped myself up.

"Just leave me alone. " I yelled leaving the room, and the house.

...

When I got to the bar. Levi was sitting on one of the stools drinking a beer. I awkwardly strolled over there sitting on a stool that was next to him. "So what's your job?" I asked.

He stopped drinking the beer as he set the bottle on the table. He moved his eyes to make contact with mine. "What are you talking about?"

"Don't you have your memory back?"

"No. All I know is that I'm rich. I have a big house, and I live alone. I just find out what a phone is. I'm still adapting to life here."

"Well maybe you need time to remember things"

"Yeah I hope."

I took a long look at Levi. He had a different appearance than the one I saw on Attack on Titan. He was thinner, and paler. "Hey do you want food? I'll pay." I said.

He frowned, and rolled his eyes. "Did you listen to anything that I said? I'm rich, I can take care of myself. " The bartender put down three plates in front of Levi. The first plate was noodles with Alfredo lightly dusted with cheese. The second plate was chicken with veggies, and the third plate was a hamburger with fries. "Plus," he smiled "I already ordered."

I laughed a little when he started to dig into his food. He ate half a plate before I realized it. "Wow you are hungry, " I said.

He stopped eating for a second when he asked, "Do you want to order something? I'll pay for you. "

"I'm okay. But thanks," the phone in my pocket rang. It was my sister. I got up, and walked outside. "What?""Huh?""Okay""Why you telling me this?""Oh""I love you too""bye" I hung up the phone, and placed it in my pocket. She asked me to go to her friends. I don't care. Just be back by dark.

I walked back inside, and Levi was standing up picking his teeth with a toothpick. He slammed a chunk of money on the counter, and placed his hands in his pockets. He walked over in my direction. "Ready?" he asked.

"I was only out there for a couple minutes. How did you eat all that food?" I asked.

"Does it really matter?"

"I guess not. So where you going? "

"Can I go to your house until I get my memory back?"

"Sure if you remember quick. "

It's been three hours, and Levi still hasn't got his memory back. It's dark, and my sister isn't back. I called her, and it went to voice mail. Now I'm very worried. I turned to Levi who was on my bed laying. He was looking at the ceiling, and looked like he was in his own little world. "Hey," I said. "Is it okay if I go look for my sister?"

Levi sat up with his legs still straight. "Do you need any help?" he asked in a tired voice.

"I'll be okay."

He nodded, and let his head drop back on my pillow.

... I searched the streets, but no sign of her. The rain started to fall. What if she is at her friend? I shouldn't worry. I turned around, and collided with someone.

"Kirigaya?" I asked.

"Kirito?" she said.

I got up, and then helped her up. "What's hard about coming back before dark?"

"I'm sorry, my friend needed my help for school. It just took longer than expected."

"Whatever," I took off my coat, and lifted it over Kirigaya and I. We walked home, and when I got there we were soaked. I changed my clothes, and then went back to Levi who reading one of my books. "What book are you reading? "

Levi closed the book, setting it next to him. He sat up, and swung his legs to the ground. "Just a random one I found. Did you find your sister? "

"Yeah, she had to stay late at her friend's. She was helping her friend with school. "

"Are you sure?"

I sat on the bed next to him. "What do you mean?"

He leaned to my ear when he whispered, "Do you know there's a thing called lying."

"You think she's lying? "

"Well... I'm not saying anything. I just wouldn't believe her so easily."

"She is my sister. Of course I'll believe her."

"Ok Ok..but what if her friend is a boy, and they had fun."

"You're crazy. "

"am I?"

"Stop it"

"Fine I'm just saying that you need to be careful, and be a brother. "

"I took you here to get your memory back not give me therapy. "

He layed down and smirked, "Fine you win ...just get some sleep." he patted the space next to him.

l layed next to him with our backs together. Is he right? No I trust my sister. It's her life anyway.

...

When I woke up Levi was still asleep. I got up, and went into the kitchen. I made tea, and poured it into three tea cups. I heard the door slam from my sister's room. She walked by me, and grabbed one of the tea cups. I was going to say something, but she went back into her room. I took the two cups, and went into my room. Levi was still asleep when I shook his back with my foot. He squinted for I little bit, and then he got up. He stretched, and then I handed him the cup. "What is this for?" he asked.

"It's tea. I thought you may want some."

He took a sip, "Well thank you." ...

After tea I did dishes. I heard a thud coming from the living room as I sprinted there. My sister layed there unconscious on the ground. I kneeled by her. "Hey" I shook her. "Hey get up." I shook her again. "If this is a joke it's not funny." She didn't wake up. I felt her forehead, and she was boiling hot. I put her arm around my neck, and carried her to her room when I layed her on her bed. Should I call a doctor, or is this just the flu?

"What's wrong with her?" asked Levi who was in the doorway clinching the sides of the frame.

"She has a fever."

"Did she get it from her boyfriend. "

"Not this... "

"Think about it. She's fine yesterday. She goes to her 'friend's', and then the next day she get's sick."

"She was also in the rain."

"So were you."

"But... It could...nevermind"

"I'm right am I?"

"No you're not! Just watch her I'll be right back. "

"Where you going? "

"Getting medicine at the store. "

"Aren't you sweet."

"Shut up."

I went to the store, and grabbed her medicine. When I walked home I went by the bar, and I heard, "What is your name." from the bartender.

I turned. I looked through the doorway, and saw a guy with brown hair talking to the bartender. He had green eyes, and looked my height. He wore a light green long sleeve shirt with brown suspenders. He had white pants with a brown belt that covered his waist with brown boots on . He chugged his shot, and set down the glass on the counter. "I'm Eren Jaeger. " he responded with a sigh.

"Well Eren you order will be done in thirty minutes. Fill free to leave, and come back."

"Okay, but I'll pay you now. grabbed " he set down a couple of ones, and a five.

I walked a couple of feet so he couldn't see me past the doorway. I knew I would find Eren, but not this easy. I set down the medicine by the building. As soon as I saw Eren walk out the door. I his shoulders, and flung him into the wall.

"I need answers. " I yelled.
