BoB tournament
With Sinon and Mana
Sinon and Mana saw that, after Shin killed Death Gun, he turned to their direction and it seems like he was about to attack them.
"It's bad. I think that Shin-san has completely lost control and being succumb to his bloodlust. At this rate, I am afraid we must fight him" said Mana looking at the approaching figure of Shin.
"No! I will snap him out of his bloodlust. Naruto won't hurt his precious people" said Sinon with determination.
"You forget one thing, Hecate. In this state, it won't matter to him if you are friend or foe, he will fight anyone in his way to satisfy his bloodlust. He may not even listen to your words" said Mana and prepared to take out her Venus Eradicator.
"I still believe that I can turn him back to normal. Naruto saved me twice. I will at least pay him back once" said Sinon looking at the figure of Shin that stands before them now.
"So who is gonna be first?" asked Shin tilted his head and his eyes glowing golden.
"What is wrong with you Naruto? You have defeat Death Gun. The battle is over. Please, return back to normal again" plead Sinon looking at Shin's golden eyes.
"Over? No, nothing is over. I won't be satisfied until I kill all the rest in this tournament" said Shin with a bloodthirsty smirk.
Sinon gasped in shock and step back. She looked at Shin with wide eyes and stuttered.
"Y-you! You are not Naruto that I love. My Naruto maybe an arrogant bastard that is full of himself, but he will do anything for his precious people. He saved my life twice. He helped me to find out what is the true strength means. You are not him!"
Shin looked at her with his golden eyes and answered calmly.
"You are right. I am not him, but at the same time I am him. You see, I am the result of the suppression of bloodlust that was piled up during the PK hunting in SAO. Death Gun's action was the last straw to release me. Right now, my other is somewhere deep in his mind, so he won't be interfere us"
Sinon glared at Shin and took out her hand gun and shoot at him. Shin closed his eyes and dodge easily. Then he snapped his eyes back open and jumped up to dodge the twin shit coming behind him. He turned his head back and saw Mana with her twin guns.
Sinon took out the grenade and threw at Shin then retreat back behind. She took out the spare scope and strapped it to Hecate.
Shin saw the grenade was heading to him and used Shukuchi to disappeared and reappeared near the brick wall.
Mana changed her rifle to extreme mode and fired a railgun from it. Shin felt something dangerous ahead of him and also change his Hades to extreme mode and fired a railgun of his own to intercept the blast from Mana. The result was a huge explosion, when the blasts collide.
Sinon used this chance and lock on to Shin and prepared to snipe him. It was her first shot so the bullet line won't be showed on Shin's body. She pressed the trigger and shoot to the direction of Shin. The bullet flew to Shin with a great speed.
Shin closed his eyes and felt the change of wind and snapped his eyes back then used Murasame to deflect the bullet. Then he narrowed his eyes at Sinon and used Shukuchi to disappeared from his place.
Sinon saw that she missed and cursed. Then she saw that something was crushing the ground and was approaching her with great speed. She began to open fire, but the invisible force is changing direction in mid way to dodge her bullet.
Suddenly, Shin appeared before her with a cold smirk on his face. Sinon could only looked up in horror. Mana saw that she won't make it in time even if she was to shoot now.
Shin was about to slash down at Sinon. But he suddenly stopped in mid way.
'What the heck are you doing? You shouldn't attack her at all!' shouted a voice in his head.
Sinon closed her eyes and waited for the worst to happen. She waited for a minute then open her eyes and saw that Shin is grabbing his head.
'W-why do you appear now? You should be somewhere deep in the mind' thought Shin talking to the voice in his head.
'I won't let you do as you please. Have you forget the reason that we fight? From the very begging and even now, we fight to protect out loved ones. You were created because I didn't want to let out all that bloodlust. But you are me, so our reason to fight is the same. You are my dark side, but I am not denying your existence. Because of you that I can kill the emotions in me to do what is necessary. But right now everything is over. Please, return my body. There will be times that I will let you out. But now is not that time' said Naruto in Shin's mind.
Shin was silent for a while and said.
'Ok, my other half. I will return back to our mind. But nothing is over yet, until we dealer with the remaining two members of LC. I will leave the rest to you now'
With that Shin stood back up with his eyes closed and turned to Sinon. Sinon prepared to take out her handgun to shoot at Shin. Though she gulped nervously. Her eyes widen when she saw Shin opened back his eyes. They are not the malicious golden colour, but the sky blue eyes. She smiled teary and jumped to Shin's arms and pinned him to the ground.
"You dumbass! Why the heck do you lid control like that? Do you know how I feel when I saw you change? I thought that I have lost you for good! Don't you ever lost control like that anymore, understand?" shouted Sinon with teary eyes and punched Shin's chest rapidly, though weakly.
Shin just smiled solemnly and cupped her cheek then said.
"I am sorry, Shino-chan. That was a surprise to me as well. I also didn't expect myself to lost control over the bloodlust like that. But everything is over now. I am here with you. Though if you still want to battle me I will accept you challenge"
"Baka, It was before I realized that I am in love with you. I still want to kick your ass for the stunt you pulled, but right now I want for the tournament to be over, so that I can feel you IRL" said Sinon and smiled softly at him.
Mans decided to approach then that moment.
"I see you are back to normal again Shin-san" said Mana calmly.
"Oh, sorry for the trouble Mana-san. Are you here because of the promise I make?" asked Shin looking at her
"No, I realized that I am not in your league right now, after watching the battle between you and Death Gun. I never expect for you to be holding so much of your strength in this tournament. Though I have learned many things from watching your battle" Mana answered.
Shin nodded his head then turned to Sinon that lying on top of him.
"So what are we gonna do now? If I remembered when only one player will remain then the tournament is over" said Shin looking at Sinon.
Sinon looked back at Shin and grinned.
"Not really. They said that in the first BoB there were two winners. Because the person that was about to win lower his guard, and got hit by a present grenade"
Mana heard that and raises her eyebrow up and then smirked.
"Oh, I understand..."
"The present grenade? What is that? I don't understand anything" asked Shin with a confused look.
Sinon just smiled brightly and took the grenade from her back, put at Shin's torso and said.
"You will know soon enough" said Sinon smiling brightly.
Mana closed her eyes smirking and get closer to Shin.
Shin saw a grenade on his torso and paled as it was ticking and prepared to explode. Sinon decided to use that moment to kiss him passionately. Shin still feel too shock to respond to her. Then he cried anime style and the light began to envelope the three of them. Sinon still kissing him. While Mana closed her eyes and smiled slightly. Just that the grenade explode.
Standby area
At the panel, there was a line tha declared the winners of the third BoB.
It was Sinon, Shin and Mana. And just that every players began to cheer as loud as they could.
Outside, the fireworks were fired continuously to celebrate the end of the third Bullet of Bullets.
Unknown location
Shin was standing before the panel with the list of all the players. He saw that only Pale Rider was killed. He narrowed his eyes in anger as he couldn't save Pale Rider. Then he began to think about theory that there maybe a chance that Johny Black and PoH involve in the killing Pale Rider. The person that was to inject the drug into him definitely not one of those two. He deduced that there is a possibility that one of them is waiting for him IRL to finish him off. And if that's the case then his life is over now. He still could feel the damage that was made by the shocker to his body. Just that thought makes his body tremble in fear, right now he is really scared of dying. He closed his eyes and whispered.
"I am sorry Shino-chan, Kirito, everyone"
With Sinon
Asada Shino opened her eyes and took out the Amusphere. Because of the cold wind that blew from her window caused her to sneeze. She went to the mirror then recalled what has just happened minutes ago in GGO and smiled softly. She touched her lips and recall the kiss she shared with Naruto, though he did not kissed her back probably because of the shock from her present grenade. Before the explosion, Naruto had whispered the address where he is currently diving. She changed her clothes and prepared to go to Naruto's place.
"Just you wait Naruto. I am coming now" said Shino with a bright smile.
With Naruto
Naruto slowly opened his eyes and felt that his body was numb. He looked down and saw some-kind of device laid near his body. He took out the Amusphere from his head and raised his body up. Then he narrowed his eyes as he felt there was a presence in the room.
"Come out! I know you are here" said Naruto with narrowed eyes.
Then he heard the sound of clapping and the figure come out behind the door.
"Bravo! You managed to notice me. But that won't change anything. You will die by my hand today, Naruto Yuuki Uzumaki" said the figure still was hidden by the dark.
"I guess, that you are one of the members of LC. Didn't know that you guys hate me that much" said Naruto and tried to move his legs.
"You guess right. I am Kanemoto Atsuhi, though you may recognize me by my avatar's name from SAO as Johny Black" said Atsuhi with an evil smirk.
"The one that used poisons in his weapons" confirmed Naruto
"Ever since the end of SAO, PoH-san always plan to destroy you. After he was released from SAO, he somehow find out that you are still alive and decide to pay Sugou-san a decent sum to trap you in ALO. But in the end Sugou-san is useless and was defeated by you then captured by the police. Then XaXa proposed to lure you in GGO and to kill you using the succinylcholine. Though that plan was exposed by you before we managed to fulfill it. Because of that, I decided to finish you off personally. The paralyze effect of the shocker still but wore off, therefore you are at my mercy now. Though I won't kill you right away, I want to punch the hell out of you for the incident at Floor 74" said Atsuhi and smirked sadistically and began to approach Naruto.
Naruto still being paralyzed could only grit his teeth in frustration. Then Atsuhi picked Naruto up by the collar and punch him in the face sending him to the ground. Naruto lied on the ground helplessly with blood leaking from his lips. Atsuhi licked his lips and smirk sadistically and kicked Naruto in the gut. Naruto widen his eyes in pain and began to cough loudly. Then Atsuhi grabbed his hair and whispered in Naruto's ear.
"How did it feel to be so helpless huh, mister Hero? How is it feel to be a punching bag?"
Naruto just looked at him with glazed eyes. Atsuhi threw him to the wall caused Naruto to collide to the wall and grunt.
"I think that's enough for torture. Now say hi to Shinigami for me" said Atsuhi smirking widely and took out the syringe from his pocket.
Naruto widen his eyes in fright as the death slowly approached him. Suddenly, there is a figure rush in the room and kicked the syringe from his hand. Naruto looked up to see who saved him and felt shock. He didn't see this person for 2 years already. It was the tall man with spiky long white hair in a spiky ponytail. Naruto recognized him as his former caretaker, Jiraya.
Jiraya turned to Naruto and said while smirking.
"Long time no see, gaki. I heard you've become pretty famous"
"Ero-sennin..." muttered Naruto still at shock.
Jiraya felt a tick mark appeared on his forehead and his eye twitching in annoyance hearing that nickname.
Atsuhi saw that he was had been interfered and decided to escape from the window.
When Jiraya was about to chase him he is already managed to escape. Jiraya went to Naruto's side to help him stand up and put him in his bed. Naruto looked at Jiraya and said
"I didn't know that you will appear. I still think that you are traveling the world to write your pervert books. But thanks for saving me if not for you then my life is over for certain"
"No prob gaki. So how is the Yuuki family treating you? Also I heard he has a super hot daughter, maybe you and her can..." said Jiraya and grinned perversely.
"The Yuuki family treating me as if I am there family member. And there is nothing between me and nee-chan. Yeah, I admit she is beautiful, but she is out of my league and also I already have girlfriends" said Naruto looking at Jiraya with an annoyed look.
"Girlfriends? Oh, I didn't know you already have girlfriend, let alone more than one. Care to tell this old man who are they?" asked Jiraya with his eyes lit up.
"As if I will tell you anything Ero-sennin" shouted Naruto and glared at Jiraya.
Then the door opened and Shino run in to see Naruto lied on the bed with bruise and bleeding lips. She ignored the man beside Naruto and rushed to his side. She touched his cheek and asked worriedly.
"What happen here Naruto?"
Naruto wince in pain then answered.
"That was my last battle. Though if Ero-sennin didn't appeared maybe you won't be able to see me at all"
Sinon gasped at that and embraced him tightly. Jiraya smiled softly at the scene. She then turned to Jiraya and bowed her head.
"I am very grateful that you have appeared in time and saved Naruto. I don't know what I will do without him now" said Shino
"No need to thank me. Though I was his former caretaker, I am still look out for him. I am Jiraya by the way" said Jiraya waving his hand.
"I am Asada Shino. Nice to meet you Jiraya-san" Shino introduced herself.
"Well I leave you two alone for now. Take care... Oh, and always remember to use protection" said Jiraya and grinned perversely cause both of the teen to blush horribly. Naruto threw a pillow at Jiraya to shoo him away. Jiraya left the room while laughing loudly.
"I am so glad that you are ok now. To touch you IRL felt so much different when I am in GGO" said Shino smiling at him.
Naruto took out get glasses and smirked.
"You are much prettier without the glasses Shino-chan. You don't need to wear them anymore. I am with you now, you don't need to be afraid of anything"
Shino blushed when he called her pretty then she put her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
"Thank you for everything, Naruto. From now on and forever you are my reality" said Shino and smiled softly.
Naruto embraced her and also smiled. Then he blinked and said.
"Ehm, by the way we need to meet up with my other two girlfriends to inform them about this. I hope Rika-chan won't hurt me too much"
And he felt a shiver down his spine remembered Rika's super temper. Shino just raised her eye brow at that. Then she recalled something and said.
"By the way, you didn't respond to my kiss back then. Now we need to redo the whole scene"
Naruto blinked then smirk and kissed her. Shino kissed back and deepen the kiss then use her tongue to invade his mouth. Naruto welcomed her and opened his mouth for her response. Then kissed for a while then back away for some air.
"Wow, this time is much better than the first time. I think I will get used to this" said Shino and smirking.
"Me too" said Naruto and leaned in to kiss her forehead.
Then they fall asleep in Naruto's bed in each other embrace with a smile on their face.
