Shall we start?
Disclaimer: I do not own it, if I did. I wouldn't be here typing these up!
(1) Beater- The words mixed are 'Beta Tester' and 'Cheater'. Kirito was both, so his once called allies, called him a Beater. (Episode 2- Season 1)
(2)Pina- It is Keiko(Real Life)/ Silica(Virtual world) pet in SAO.
Ch 2. Meeting & Greeting
After Kirito left for his home, his friends continued to talk at the Dicey's Cafe. All of them were having a great time, laughing, playing around, and just having all around fun.
"Asuna! What was that back there? I thought you didn't like public affection!" Said Rika, as other girls started gathering around her. "I-I didn't realize until you said something," said Asuna, a nervous laugh slipping out. The other girls were of course enraged at this.
The other girls also had small feelings for Kirito. With his will to keep people out of trouble, and making sure no one gets hurt under his care. He can be idiotic sometimes, when fights. But it's for everything he loves, and wants to protect.
The other girls started questioning Asuna, keeping her pushed up against the wall. Where there was no escape from their bombardment of questions. The men watched, as the girls continued their questioning.
"Ah..." Sighed Klein, "why does Kirito have so many admirers. He isn't different from any of us!" Klein said, drinking his wine vigorously, gulping every last drop. "Klein, he's helped all of these girls, and saved the virtual world twice now. I think you should give him some slack." Said Agil, grabbing a bottle of soda, and poured it into Kleins cup without him noticing.
He sighed, "Agil, I know Kirito is such a good guy. But look over there! All of thoes girls are asking his girlfriend so many questions. I feel like they want information, just to be with him..." Said Klein, looking thoughtfully at the group of girls. "I don't know what they want from Asuna, but they have feelings just like we do," said Agil, walking out from behind the bar counter. "Alright everyone! Settle down, time to take your seats!"
As everyone started sitting down at the tables, the first question was asked. By none other then Sugu herself. "Um... I-I have a question for all of you..." Said Sugu, looking throughout the crowd of people. With a hint of fear, but also curiosity. "I was wondering, how did you all met my Onii-Chan?" She asked, planting a smile on her face.
Small whispers were heard when the question was asked. Agil was the first to say something.
"Well, it all started on that first floor battle..." Said Agil looking up at the ceiling, remembering that moment of the past. "I met him while at the boss battle meeting. He was a nice looking kid. Can't blame him for his courage out on the battle field" Said Agil, taking a sip of his wine. "I still couldn't believe that he was able to do something like that! Even if he was called a Beater(1). I still thought he was something that we needed later in the games. After that, he came to my shop often to buy and sell goods to me. I was thankful for when he came, because I knew he was a good friend." Said Agil, thinking thoughtfully on the words he spoke.
"Wah~! That's amazing Agil! I wish me and Kirito-san had a bond like that the first time we met." said Keiko. "Say, Keiko. When did you first meet Kirito?" Asked Rika, smiling her devilish smile at Keiko. "W-Well," said Keiko looking at anyone, other then Rika. "I was mad at a former party member. And left the group, because they were very bad people. I got lost looking around the woods, and was attack. Pina(2) died because of protecting me..." Keiko has small water drops form around her eyes.
"Hey Keiko, It's okay" Said Asuna, removing the tears from Keiko's tiny face. "Please, continue with your story," Said a smiling Asuna, sitting back down. "I was about to be killed, but Kirito-san killed those monsters before they struke me. After that, we traveled together to get Pina back!" Said Keiko, a determined look on her face. "I still remember those fun moments in the garden... But also, the time he could have been killed by red players.." Keiko, looked to the floor, thinking back to that time. "Luckily! Kirito was very strong, and regenerated too quickly for them to do any damage. I'm glad I met Kirito-san, he showed me the brighter side of that scary world."
Keiko closed her eyes, silently thanking Kirito for his kindness. "The first time I met him, he broke my best sword!" Said Rika, fumming with anger. "Rika... You are still complaining about that? That was 2 years ago!" Said Asuna, slight laughter escaping her mouth.
"Anyways!" Said Rika, sending signals to Asuna to stop laughing. "He walked into my store, and tested its duribility. So when it shattered, he offered to take me to a high level dungeon. So we could get a rare material for his new sword. When we came back..." Rika looked at the ground, and thought about what to say. She couldn't say that she had feelings for Kirito. Fearing that Asuna would unfriend her, and leave her. "And what?" Asked Sugu, her full attention was to Rika. "W-Well, I um..." She sat there thinking, "Then Asuna came in and hugged me to death," Said Rika quickly, turning away from Asuna's sight. Not wanting her to ask any questions.
There was a moment of silence. Everyone thinking back to when they all first met Kirito, and how they ended up where they were now. "Well, if you ask me, Kirito was one great kid when I first met him" Said Klein chuckling. "It was the first day when SAO came out.." Klein looked around thinking of that time. "I didn't know what to do, so I asked Kirito for some help. Of course, his help was fabulous, and I was able to control my sword!" Said Klein, eyes burning with passion.
"I never thought that getting trapped would happen though... I also just thought of meeting a nice girl or something. I'm happy that Kirito taught me this. Now I've learned so much, and battle so well!" Said Klein, as he got up to stretch his arms. "Hey, Asada!" Shouted Klein, looking at Asada. "How did you meet Kirito?"
Asada sat there for a bit. "I'm going to keep this short, and simple." Said Asada, pulling her jacket over her mouth. "He came to GGO to investigate a killer... He acted as a girl to get me to help him..." Saying Idiot under her breath. "I helped him stop the killer, who was planning on killing me next." said Asada, finally looking up at the group of people listening to her. " I'm thankful for meeting Kirito... He helped me in my virtul, and my real like problems..."
"Wow! You all have such a great time meeting my Onii-Chan!" Said Sugu delightfully, smiling as she spoke. "I was just shocked seeing him in ALO. Just to find him, trying to reach the top of the World Tree." Said Sugu, looking straight at Asuna. "So he could save Asuna from the world she was trapped in..." All eyes turned to Asuna, her face started turning a light shade of red.
"Now that I think about it, how did you and Kirito meet? I mean, something had to happen that made you two start dating." Said Rika, having that evil tone in her voice. "I-I just met him on the first boss battle. That's where I met him." Said Asuna nervously, looking around the room in a panic. "Hey now! You can't just say that! We know there is way~ more that happened Asuna." Said Rika, moving closer to Asuna, not allowing Asuna to run out the door.
With a sigh, Asuna stayed seated. "Fine... But if you all get mad, don't blame me for what happens when me and Kirito are together again!" She said, flushing out her anger, but stayed calm. All eyes and ears were glued to Asuna. Everyone wanting to know, how the couple got together in the first place. ' Maybe me and Kirito should talk about this to them together...' thought Asuna, looking at the faces that waited patiently for her to speak her words.
