Chapter 4 Friends, death and Questions

Kirito was sitting down at the inn next to Sachi who was looking at Yoake who was in bad mood with one of her friends and refused to say why. Everyone in the group could feel the negative waves Yoake was giving.

"Ummmmm, Yoake?"

"What?" He answered in his normal voice as he looked at the leader of the guild.

"You ok? You been a bad mood for a few days is something the matter?"

"It's nothing and I'm not mad I'm just annoyed that whenever something good is going to happen to me or if I get something good I end up being screwed in life."

"Come on you can't mean that all I did was pull you away from the girl since we had a meeting." Replied one of the members.

"It's actually true, Yoake has some pretty bad luck in life sometimes even I can't believe it." Kirito said has everyone looked at Yoake still not believing him.

"He is telling the truth any of you get forced to do labor for your teachers to try and raise your grades? What about being called one of the dumbest people at your school."

They all stayed silent as Kirito was snickering a bit which earned him having his ear pulled by Sachi telling him to apologize causing laughter around as Kirito looked a bit embarrassed as he smiled. The negative wave was gone as Yoake decided to forgive his friend just this once since he was just following orders.

The rest of day was spent planning since they would be moving to higher floors since a party of advance players have been clearing floors making it easier to travel.

"So it's agreed we will all move on starting tomorrow any objections?"

The leader looked around seeing no one object. He nodded as he told everyone to go to sleep early since they would be living early in the morning.

Night had come and everyone was asleep in the end getting some sleep but a door opened.

"Yawn, I need to make sure I don't wake anyone." Sachi said to herself as she made her way to the restroom. After she was done she was heading back to her room but caught whiff of something.

"What's that smell?"

She followed the smell and found herself down stairs in the kitchen and found someone cooking.

"Dammit I'll never be able to make my best dish if I keep burning the dam food…."

"Yoake?"

He turned around to see Sachi looking at him with wide eyes.

"Huh? Sachi what are you doing up this late? Is something the matter? He asked her as he turned to face her showing he was wearing a cooking apron."

"Um I just wanted to know why you are up so late." She asked him with a light smile wanting to laugh at the apron he was wearing read the words kiss the cook.

He just turned to her removing his apron and looking at her.

"Really? Well I decided to try and get some cooking done for our friends since we will be leaving this floor tomorrow. I really want to make my favorite dish for everyone since it would be a real treat for everyone."

"You really seem to enjoy cooking don't you?"

"Well yes I kind of do since back at home I lived alone for a long time and had to learn to cook for myself."

He told her as he went over to check on the burning pot sighing as he tried to make whatever was in it eatable for humans.

"Didn't you have anyone to cook for yourself like you mom and dad?"

She saw him stir the pot slowly as he answered her.

"Nope, they worked over seas leaving me with my sis but she couldn't cook to save her life. About 2 years later she went to study overseas since many people said she got the good gens of the family."

"That seems kind of mean to say? I mean you don't look that dumb."

She caught herself as she looked embarrassed thinking she said something to hurt him but she saw turn off the stove and just smile at her with a grin.

"I may not look it but my scores are pretty low even by school standers. Heck even the teachers at school call me dumb and force me to do manual labor to try and bring up my grades a bit. It's not a good life but it sometimes helped that I had my friends with me."

Sachi smiled at she was told but a certain question was getting at her and she needed to know the answer and hoped Yoake would answer it.

"Yoake how do you know Kirito-kun? You two seem really close and you seem to understand each other?"

Yoake poured a scoop of the food in a bowl and managed to make a few sandwiches packing them all in a different boxes, before sealing them up and turning to Sachi.

"Why the sudden interest? Is there something you want to know?"

"No. it's just like the way you two talk to each other seems like your more than friends?" She asked him as he just went to the fridge and decided to get a drink.

"You could say we are more than friends. We're best friends and have known each other since childhood, but when I moved away I stayed in touch through online gaming and video chats."

"I see." She replied as she saw him sit in front of her with a glass of milk.

"I have stayed in touch for years but only just met with him a few months ago when I decided to come into the game."

"Wait, you what?!"

He just sighed thinking he would probably need to tell her and anyone else why he was in sao. If he didn't then they would just think he was an idiot for risking his life.

"Allow me to explain from the very beginning."

She nodded as she listened to Yoake's story from the beginning telling her how he met Kirito and how he had to move away. But what she found weird was he seemed to be avoiding using his real name. She doubted their real names where Kirito and Yoake, but she decided it was best not to ask. After a 20 minutes he had finished his story.

"Yoake that story is just touching."

"Really? He said looking at her as she was giving him a weird look that made him feel uncomfortable."

"Of course you would risk your very life for a dear friend you wanted to meet after so long. Forgive me for asking but you must really love him don't you?"

He almost chocked on his drink as he started to cough hitting his chest.

"Whoa,whoa,whoa, what the hell does she mean I love him? does she mean like a brother? Well of course I do. I don't think this question can be taken the wrong way right?" He asked himself but he thought it was better to be safe than sorry. "Well I guess you can say I do care for him in a great way but."

He didn't get to finish as Sachi spoke up.

"Then I wish you the best happiness and I want you to know that I fully support you two."

His eyes just widen as he finally understood what she was getting.

"Wait you think I? Wait! Let me explain!"

She didn't listen as she thanked him for the talk leaving the kitchen leaving him alone. He sighed as he took a drink.

"Kirito's going to kill me in the morning….. Wait what if Lis finds out!? I can't let that happen!?" He began to panic as he returned to his room. But as he walked up the stairs he wondered.

"Does Sachi like Kirito? She seems to be interested in him? I think I just messed it up… dammit my life sucks in games and in real life!? I can't get a break, I bet Lis will not answer my emails if I send her some. Must be an idiot's fate to stay alone, meh, maybe I can find an npc for me!" He said throwing his fist into the air with confidence but heard all his friends yell from their rooms,

"Yoake shut the hell up! "

He grew mad as he yelled back.

"Screw you! Make me mad and you can cook your own food tomorrow!"

There was nothing but silence making him smile.

"That's what I thought!"

He returned to his room thinking how he was going to tell Kirito what Sachi thought of them now. What if she was direct with him? things looked like they were going to get ugly tomorrow he thought as he just got into his bed opening up the screen looking at his friends list seeing the few friends he had. The list went from Klein his first friend he had met on sao. The second one was Kirito his best friend, but he past them and moved to a certain girl's name with her picture next to it.

"Lis… was all he said as he closed the screen and went to sleep."

The next morning had come and Yoake had woken up and had a bad feeling for some odd reason. He decided to take an early shower for the day to get rid of that feeling.

With Kirito

Kirito had woken up early and decided to go and get some sword training in before the others had woken up. From what he recalled last night Yoake had seemed to be up late working on his cooking.

"Yoake really needs to focus one his training more, then again its' good to have a nice meal that doesn't taste bad."

He was heading towards the inn looking at all the people up so early. He sometimes liked how peaceful the world was even if they were trapped some people were getting used to living in sword art line. But it made him wonder if they missed there family's at the word family he stopped in his tracks and looked at the sky.

"Family…"

He thought back to his sister and sighed.

"That's right I need to tell Yoake about her, wonder how he will react to knowing the truth about her."

He arrived at the inn opening the door walking in and heading towards the living room of the inn. As he arrived he saw someone sitting there like he was being expected.

"Sachi? What are you doing up so early?"

He saw her turn and smile at him as he walked over to her and pull up a chair sitting next to her as he asked an npc to bring him and her something to drink for the morning. The npc nodded heading towards the kitchen leaving them alone.

"Good morning Kirito-kun, did you sleep well?"

"Of course expect for the fact that Yoake was yelling at night waking everyone up. Did he wake you?"

"No, I was up late and headed into the kitchen and saw him cooking."

"He was cooking?" He asked her seeing her smile and nod.

"Yes he seemed to be trying to improve his cooking for some odd reason. I heard him say he wants to make his best dish for us."

"I see, did you two talk about anything else?"

The npc had returned and gave them each a glass of juice leaving them alone again.

"We had a little talk and he told me about how he came into the game."

Kirito raised an eye brow wondering what else she was told.

"Did he tell you anything else?"

"He me told about your history together about how you two met."

"Oh, well we have known each other for a long time and he had to move away. I kept in touch with him through online chats and emails. Even with us apart we kept our friendship alive, but I'm kind of sad that he gave up his normal life and chose to come after me. Not a lot of people would that for a friend knowing they could face death in this game."

"Well Yoake really must see you as someone important in his life."

"Really?"

Kirito felt kind of happy hearing that from her since he was seen as someone important to his friend. He grabbed his cup and began to drink but didn't expect the next part.

"Yes he does, he must really love you."

He choked on his drink as he spat it out hitting his chest looking at her with wide eyes.

"What!?"

"I was talking last night and he told me himself Kirito. He really cares for you."

"Whoa whoa whoa! I'm sure he didn't mean it that way beside I don't swing that way."

"It's OK Kirito I will support the two you!" she said holding his hand and smiling at him.

"YOAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Kirito got up from the sofa and ran up the stairs in rage pulling out his sword as he kicked his friend's door down. Waking the others up as they opened their doors to see what was happening.

Kirito saw Yoake was shirtless drying his hair with a towel but was wearing brown pants.

"YO! What's up Kirito?"

He didn't get an answer as he saw Kirito swing his sword at him but was blocked with Yoake's sheath.

"What the hell man?!"

"What do you mean what the hell?! What's the deal telling Sachi that I swing that way!?"

Yoake paled as he heard this as he tried to speak up.

"It's not what it sounds like let me explain!"

The next moment they heard footsteps coming from the stairs, but couldn't react as Yoake had slipped on the wet floor bring Kirito with him.

Sachi came up the stairs with the rest of her friends who finally woken up to see what was the racket saw something they wouldn't forget. They saw Kirito on top of a shirtless Yoake inches from each other making them all go.

"Uhhhhhh, sorry to interrupt!" Before closing the door behind them.

Kirito and Yoake just got up trying to explain but they were gone.

"Crap! We need to explain what happen…."

"Mostly you Yoake, you better make it clear to Sachi that I don't swing that way!"

"Neither do I dude, she just thought that cause of what we spoke off last night. She sort of took it the wrong way and well now you know."

"We need to explain or else I might lose my shot at her."

"Huh, what was that Kirito?"

"Never mind, just get dressed and hurray up downstairs. I will try and explain as much as I can about what just happen. You better be downstairs in a few or else things will really awkward between the group."

Kirito just left the room as Yoake sighed opening the screen going to the clothes option and getting fully dressed. He wondered why the game had a clothes option but knew it made it way easier to get dressed. He opened the item screen and selected his journal. He opened it and saw the entry's he had made so far ever since he gotten stuck in sword art online. He thought it would be best if he kept track of certain events that happen to him or his friend. He could hear him talking down stairs trying to sort everything out. He just smiled.

"Sigh, what do with a friend like him?"

He closed his screen and just walked out of the room retrieving his sword. Shutting the door he went downstairs and knew he would have a long talk with his friends.

And he did it took almost 2 hours to convince everyone what saw wasn't what they thought. Not to mention having to explain they were just best friends and that was it. She blushed and just apologized for jumping the gun like that. With all said and done the rest of time was spent getting ready to travel. Yoake looked over to Kirito who was being helped by Sachi.

"He seems to really be open around her, could there be something going on? Maybe I'm over thinking things again I need to get ready fast"

The moonlit black cats just finished packing and where heading out the inn. They were making their way out of the inn Yoake had a thought.

Should I tell Lis I'm leaving? It's probably best if I don't bother her she might have customers, but who knows when we will meet again? Then more I think about how big this world is the more I wish there was an easier way to travel.

He only sighed as he wanted to see her again.

"Yo, guys I'll meet you before we go to the next floor I got to do something first ok?"

"Sure thing just don't take long or we might leave you!"

Yoake just smiled knew the leader of the guild was playing around with him.

"Yeah,yeah I will not be long."

He just ran in the opposite direction passing many players and what he assumed were npc. It did take him long to reach Lisbeth work place. But as he arrived he saw she was gone. He just cursed.

"Dam, I must have missed her. Maybe she left yesterday after our talk guess I will see if fate lets us meet again. I guess I better go and meet up with the others before they do leave me. Would they leave me?"

He just shrugged and decided it was time to head back. He decided to walk this time instead of running. As he made his way back he saw something on screen. He opened it and saw a few letters he opened the recent one.

"Yoake we are already at the doors we are taking a break till you get here. The group is eating the meal you made for us. Don't take too long or there will be nothing left."

-Sachi

"How did she get my info?...Kirito… oh well doesn't bother me but they better not eat all the food I made!" He yelled making people around him give him strange looks.

He opened the second letter as he started walking again. He was surprised it was from Klein he began to read.

"Yo, Yoake it's been a while so I thought I send you a letter, me and guys have been doing pretty good since you left. Still we kind miss your cooking."

Yoake got a sweat as he thought they only missed his cooking.

"Wanted to know how have you been and have you found Kirito yet? I and guys have gotten pretty good as we have some samurai armor and weapons with us. I know you would have called dibs on some of the stuff we have found on our quests. We heard a rumor you were part of the group that beat the first boss is it true? If it is glade you didn't die none of us died and we hope to keep it that way, hope to see you again so we can make you make good on your promise about letting us try your best dish."

-Klein

He just laughed a bit he had promised to make them his best dish if they met again and if he had gotten his cooking level. He didn't understand why many people thought the most basic skill skills like cooking or sneaking or even fishing were useless. They may be basic but they could come in handy not in fighting but in living. Without them you could probably starve or cook something so bad and die from food poisoning. That's whenever he had some money he would buy a few ingredients if the inn did have them to get the best taste.

"Maybe it's just me that sees cooking as something useful since no way in hell am I going to let my sis cook!"

Again he was just stared at but he counted his walk. Saw the last letter and saw who it was from and couldn't believe who had sent it.

"Lis…"

He opened the letter and read.

"Yoake since this is my first letter I thought I just let you know I have already left met with a man that said he and his group would like me to go with him since they are bit more skilled in blacksmithing than me. He liked my work and said I could be better. So I decided to go with them, I want to become a better black smith that can make good weapons to help others. Maybe we will meet again in person someday. Till then good luck in traveling with your friend's make sure to contact me when you have time."

-Lisbeth

"P.s don't give my info to anyone or I wont forgive you!"

He just got a sweat wondering why she doesn't her info give to others.

"She seems like someone ii don't want to get mad at me and since she is a black smith I might get another hammer in my face or worst a sword! Why does my life suck, seems like all women want me hurt or worst. At least I know she will be people that will have her back.. Wait a man!? There go my chance at her, what did I expect a girl like her with me? Sigh oh well at least I can still see her as a friend unless she dates someone. I can give up not yet!" He raised his fist into the air but then lowered it a bit If I can't then an NPC it is!"

He just closed his screen and ran for the tower were his friends were waiting for him. When he arrived he saw that everyone was reaching for his lunch box. He pulled his sword out and ran at them.

"Stay away from my food!"

Outside SAO a few days later

Akihisa friends were making their way towards his room as usual to see if anything had changed, but as they arrived they saw his sister with tears in her eyes. They panicked as they ran over to her.

"Akira what wrong?! Did something happen to Aki?" Minami yelled as she looked at him seeing him still breathing.

"No" was all she said as he clean her eyes.

"Then what happen?"

Akira pointed in front of her where now lay in empty bed.

"Wait wasn't there a girl on that bed before?" Yuuji asked as he looked at Akira.

"Yes but 3 hours before you came here she was being watched by her older brother and suddenly his screen hadn't turned on when the time limit hadn't even reset yet."

"But how?!"

"That's what I asked him, he didn't know but what we saw on the screen."

Akira shed more tears as she was comforted by Mizuki and Minami before she spoke again.

"We saw her surrounded by men in hoods. We thought they were going to take advantage of her but they just started attacking her. She managed to fight a few of them off but, we saw her get stabbed."

Their eyes widen at her words not believing them.

"We don't know why they attacked her but we saw other people on the ground. They must have been her teammates we looked away as we saw her take 3 more hits. She yelled in pain as the people in cloaked laughed before running away. The screen said she was killed with her party before it shut down. He refused to believe it but we saw her flat line."

"No one said anything as Yuuji was in thought for a few minutes and came to an answer.

"You don't think he planned for that?"

"Huh?"

They all looked at him as he sighed,

"What I mean is do you think the maker of this game and the screens planned to show us when someone is near death. Or it could be the guys that gave us the screens since he did say we could see things we wouldn't want to see."

"You think they want to see our reaction to our friends or family's deaths?!" Asked Mizuki as he only shrugged.

"Who knows but what I can figure out is that unless we are careful we might see Akihisa death without meaning to."

They looked at the sleeping Akihisa who looked like he was sleeping peacefully you could almost tell he wasn't in a death trap. They thought maybe they would come in one day and he would no longer be there or worst they would walk in and the screen would turn on and he would be killed and them seeing the whole thing.

"We just have to hope he doesn't do anything stupid to get himself killed. But as long as his friend is with him he should be find I think?"

They could hope that nothing could happen.

A few towns away a young girl was asking if she could permission if she could go vist a sick friend that she and her brother had once known.

Sao May 9, 2023 Floor 20: sunlit forest

Kirito,Yoake and the rest of the team had were sitting in a open grass filed enjoying the sun as they were taking a small break as the guild leaders friend had leveled up after killing a monster. Kirito looked over to Yoake who was serving the rest of the party their lunch. He made his way over to Sachi who was sitting by herself looking at her screen.

"Sachi, are you OK?" He asked as he sat next to her as she closed her screen. Before she closed it he saw that her level was around 20 as the rest of the team was 3 levels higher than her.

"Kirito-kun, I'm fine why do you ask?"

"Well you are sitting by yourself for a while, and I was a bit worried since you looked down."

"I'm sorry I worried you. I know I'm not really a good gamer compared to the others. She replied to him looking down.

"Don't be heck I was never a good gamer when a first started but I ended up getting it down and became the player I am today because I never gave up and.."

"And?"

"It helps when you have someone you can trust by your side since it will kind of give you a bit of competition."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well sometimes I and Yoake go at it trying to see who will reach the next level the fastest."

"Really?" She asked not believing his words and then looked over to Yoake who was on his back looking up the sky with his screen in front of him.

"Looks like he talking to Lisbeth again." Kirito said shaking his head earning a small smile form Sachi.

"Well from what he said he was going to ask her to meet for lunch again when they meet but he got pulled away from her by our friend. Because of that he thinks Yoake has been poisoning his food."

Kirito had a grin

"That's sounds like Yoake, always getting something good then having to suffer cause of friends pulling away at the last second. But I doubt he would so that."

He looked over at the person who pulled Yoake away from Lisbeth that day and saw him poking at his food while sneaking a few glances at Yoake who was on the screen.

"Then again Yoake does know how to hold a grudge if the person did something to really piss him off. But he should get over soon, I think."

"But have been traveling for a while now."

"Then we just have to wait it out and hope for the best from our friends. Anyway if you are really worried I can help you in your sword training again, you have gotten a lot better with it. It wont be long now till you will be better than Yoake."

"I HEARD THAT!"

Sachi only looked at Yoake who was still on the ground but wondered how he had heard Kirito.

"For some odd reason he always knows when someone is talking about him. Even when he can't hear them."

Sachi looked at Kirito who out his hands behind his head and laid on the grass next to Sachi. She hesitated it a bit before she laid down next to him looking up at the sky.

"Do you really think I will be of any help to the party? She asked making him look at her."

"Of course you will, in a party it doesn't matter what part you play even if it's not a big role it's important. So you are an important member even if you don't see yourself as one."

She looked at Kirito who was smiling at her letting her know he wasn't bluffing but was indeed telling her the truth.

"Kirito-kun, thank you," was all she said as she looked close to tears.

"Don't worry about it, if you have any worries you can talk me others since we are all your friends. So we all need stick together if want to make it to the end of the game."

"Do you really believe we can make it to the end?" She asked doubting his words a bit.

He looked at her and nodded.

"I'm sure we can do it if we keep at it."

"But the lead group is far ahead, I wonder how they do it."

"If I had guess maybe its cause they are made of a lot players that know how to level up faster than us. They may also be some beaters with them."

"I really don't believe that." They both heard a voice from behind them. They looked up and saw the leader of the guild.

"I actually think they are making it because of their friendship. I mean look at us, we have managed to make it pretty far with just a few of us. With all of us I'm sure we will make it to end since we do two pretty good sword men with us."

"Soon to be three Kirito said as he looked at Sachi whose face was a bit red."

"I'm really not that good."

"But you're getting there won't be long now Sachi. Till you will be able to fight on the fron lines with me and Yoake. You might even show us a few moves." He said with a smile causing her to turn red again.

The rest of the group had decided to eat in a circle since it had been while since they had any peace with each other. Yoake had joined them since he was done talking with Lisbeth and kept what had been said to himself but seemed happy. They all started eating as Sachi saw Yoake start to write in a journal. She would often see him write in it and wondered what he was writing about she had even see Kirito ask what the deal with the journal was. He only replied.

"Just recording what happening to tell our story. Beside who knows how long we will be in this game I might need more than one he said to Kirito. Who only had sighed thinking it was best to leave him to his own things. Since at times they wouldn't even understand each other."

May 16 2023 floor 28

Yoake, Kirito and the rest of the group had finally reached another town and decided it was best to take the early morning off. They all went their own ways deciding to spend the day doing something they want.

Kirito was about to ask Yoake to hang out today so they could discuss a few things about how they should switch their fighting in the party. But was stopped.

"Umm, Kirito-kun?"

He turned to meet Sachi who was a few feet away from him.

"Is something the matter?"

"I was wondering if you could help pick out a new weapon today?"

"Huh? I didn't think you would have the money for a new one? I mean sure we all got a bit of a share from the quest we do."

"Normally I wouldn't but Yoake gave me some money and with the money I have I have just enough. So can you help me?"

Kirito scratched the back of his head before nodding earning a smile from her as she said they should get going before it got dark. He responded he needed to talk to Yoake First. She nodded understanding. He made his way to Yoake who was nearby at a store looking inside the window.

"Wonder if they have anything I might want in here?"

"Hey Yoake do you have a moment?!"

"Hmmmm? Oh hey Kirito what's up?!"

"Nothing much, I was going to ask you to hang out so we could talk about a few things but Sachi asked me to help her buy a new weapon. She said you gave her some money to help her out?"

Yoake just gave a small laugh as he got an annoyed look from Kirito.

"Yea I did, why not she looked like she needed a new weapon since she is getting more into fighting. I thought why not get her a new sword or shield if she is not ready yet."

Kirito just pulled Yoake into a head to mask what he was going to do.

"Ow!"

"She didn't ask about the money or how you got it right?" He asked him as Yoake spoke.

"No she didn't! Beside even if she did I would lie about since no one knows what we are."

"Don't you mean know what I am?" Kirito said in a low whisper

"Hey I said I was one as well and were in it to the end."

Kirito let Yoake go sighing as he just turned his back to him.

"Fine, you know what you got yourself into let's hope you don't regret it."

"Kirito I don't regret it. Hell I don't regret coming in here for you."

"Sometimes I wish you didn't then again I'm glad you did. I got to go Sachi needs my helping in getting a new weapon."

Kirito decided to head back to Sachi since he had been away for a bit.

"God luck!"

He wanted to know what he meant but ignored it as he arrived with Sachi. They both nodded and walked off next to each other. Kirito just looked back and saw Yoake smile as he saw him just give two thumbs up making him sigh.

"Wish he didn't see that movie…. "He said aloud getting a strange look from Sachi. It nothing he told her.

Yoake was left alone as he pulled out his old sword. He looked at it saw it wouldn't last him very long. He opened his screen and started looking at his money.

"Wonder if I will be able to keep this money when I leave the game? Sure would be nice I would be able to buy whatever I want with no consequence I think? I wonder how high other players have made it? Hmmm, it's been awhile since Lis emailed me. Maybe she forgot about me? Oh well what can I do? Didn't I get a new sword from a quest?"

He began looking through his items list looking through his completed quests looking at the items he had gotten in the past months. He looked through his single quest that he had done with Kirito before they joined with the others. He clicked on the sword switching it with the one Lisbeth had fixed for him. His new sword had a long edge with a yellow slash orange glow on it. He opened the screen and saw the power it had and smiled at it as he saw name of the blade.

"Solar blade."

"Hmmm, I think it suits the blade. Wonder if it was fate that got me this sword? Oh well."

He spun the sword and put it in its sheath and smiled as he still had somewhat of the whole day to himself.

"Might as well go see if I can find something to do today, huh?"

His eyes widen as he spoke in front of him the screen was showing a small letter letting him know he had mail.

"This better not be spam again.."

He opened the screen and found it was letter form a friend.

"It's from Lis? Wonder what she needs?"

He just opened the letter and began to read. He read the whole thing and after he was done he slumped against the wall cursing his luck.

"Guess it's an npc for me it is. Oh well I need to focus on getting out of here before I look for a girlfriend. Why do most girls hate me or want to see me hurt?"

He asked aloud and just get strange looks from passing people. Making him wonder who real players were and who NPC's were. He shrugged it off as he decided to do some window shopping to clear his mind.

"I need to think about what Lis said sure she sent me that letter but I don't think she likes the guy that likes her right?"

He got no answer as he stopped in front of a shop looking at all the items they had before sighing. I think this game just hates me with the prices. "I wonder if I could charm the npc into giving me a good deal? I better not I don't want to get rejected by an npc and have my self-esteem go that low." He just sighed and looked up at the fake sky.

"I need to pick up a few cooking stuff I' running low on them. I can rely on Kirito to cook his cooking level is too low."

Yoake spent the rest of afternoon shopping for the group getting many useful items using a bit of the group's money that he was allowed to spend.

Kirito was walking with Sachi holding a new shield with a small dark cat on it. He couldn't help but smile seeing her happy. He knew why she had picked that shield seeing it was kind of a symbol for the guild they were in.

"Umm, Kirito-kun."

"Yes?"

"Ummm, its nothing."

He looked at her wondering what she wanted to say from the look on her face he saw she was struggling with something.

"Are you sure you can tell me anything we are friends after all."

"I know but maybe I can tell you later, the sun will be setting soon. We need to get back to the others before they start to worry about us."

"But?"

She ran on ahead leaving him alone making him sigh looking at her ran off.

"She is hiding something but what and why? I need to find out what it is she might need help with something."

He just ran after her trying to keep up with her and knew he would have to find out what was wrong with her and he would ask Yoake for help.

Done I hope you all liked it I know I said this chapter the moon light cats would die but i went a different route letting friendship grow for the next chapter. I am still unsure if Sachi will be killed or lived since I will add new elements to the fic and make it as different as I can from the anime. As for how relationships are going well lets just say next chapter something will happen to someone causing problems for everyone.

Sucks with Yoshii thinking Lisbeth likes another man but that's how his luck is. As for the sword he got it will play a role later in the story and with what title he gets. But for now he is with the group but I might make him go on his own for bit to get some training in. as for the death of that young girl. Yes she was killed by the laughing coffins, but why did the screen show her death when the screen was off? Is Yuuji right and the maker of sao just wants to see people suffer or is there another reason behind it.
