A note. I forgot to say at the beginning of my first chapter that I DO NOT own any of Log Horizon, but the OC is mine. Also as I need to I will hop into 3rd person omnitient when I feel you as the reader need to know something. As always speech will be surrounded by " and thanks to a reviewers idea internal thoughts will be surrounded by '

Day After the Apocolypse Urs's perspective

As he followed Henrietta, the rush from the fight began to fade. He started to go over the fight in his mind 'I'm surprised that this Henrietta trusts me, then again I did save her life.' He let out a quiet chuckle 'Oops!' he waited a moment 'oh good she didn't notice' His mind went back to the fight 'I was lucky that calling out my weapons name allowed me to draw it, otherwise that fight would have gone sideways fast. I wonder if that'll work for all my weapons?' his thoughts were interrupted when Henrietta suddenly stopped in front of a huge stone Archway.

"Here we are, welcome to Akiba." She said smiling.

"Aki-wha? Don't you mean Berlin?"

"Berlin? Why would this be Berlin? We're in Japan. Wait, are you not Japanese?"

"No! I'm German!"

"German? Then how are you." He held up his hand to stop her.

"Nevermind, let's get in the city so we don't have to worry about anyone or anything attacking us. Then we can sit down and figure this out"

she nodded and continued into the city. As they entered he immediately noticed all the weird looks he was getting. 'strange. It's like these people have never seen a barbarian before, then again it could be the fact that I'm wearing full Red Dragon Plate' he chuckled. He thought maybe it was how he appeared physically, he was just shy of 7 ft, or it could be that the woman in front of him looked like she was ready for a quarterly business meeting while he looked ready for all out war

He walked up to her side and tapped her shoulder.

"So…. Where are we headed?" He asked.

"To my guild hall. It's the only place where I know we can talk in private, and since I imagine we are going to have a long, confusing conversation we are going to need the privacy."

"Hmm, makes sense"

He kept walking when he felt her hand on his shoulder.

"what's up?"

"Hold on my guildmaster in calling."

He waited as she put her hand up to her ear as if she were using a cell phone. After a moment her hand fell to her side 'It must be serious, that's a pretty worried look for such perfect face. Wait! Perfect face, the hell am I thinking?'

"So, what's going on?"

"We need to get to my guild hall now! One of my other guild members is in trouble!"

"Okay, how far away is your guild hall?"

"About 10 minutes if we run."

The corner of his mouth turned up into a smirk, "10 minutes for you maybe, Bought 3 for me. Can you guide me there?"

"How can you get there in 3 minutes?"

He suddenly leaned over and picked her up, holding her like a new bride.

He chuckled and said " you'll see, just tell me where to go"

On that word he activated Burst of Speed and darted forward. Henrietta let out a scream. After a few moments he spoke "Open your eyes silly, you need to see!"

Perspective shift here, just fyi

Henrietta opened her eyes, the world around her was passing in a blur. "is this what you used when you saved me?"

"yes" was his quick reply "Now guide me!"

"okay, okay!"

As she guided him to the guild hall she wondered 'Why does this feel so comfortable?' He head was rested on his shoulder and her arms were around his neck. 'I wonder what he looks like without the helmet? Is he handsome?' She paused 'Wait, why do I care' a blush began to creep her face and Urs noticed it.

"You alright Henrietta? I can slow down if you'd like?"

She blurted out a response "No! I'm fine, just keep going we are almost there"

A few moments and directions later they were at the guild building. Henrietta motioned towards a door, Urs put her down and followed her. After passing what seemed like 20 identical doors in a seemingly endless hall of doors Henrietta stopped. "Here we are." She slightly opened the door, before Urs could move she spoke up "Umm… can you wait here until I call you?"

"Why?"

"Because my Guild Master has a habit of tackle-hugging people she thinks are big and cuddly, and you certainly fit the bill"

"Oh? I'm big and cuddly am I?" Urs folded his arms in mock annoyance.

She turned her head down, a light blush showing on her checks. "Well… umm… ah.. It's not that I think, or that you are… never mind!" Obviously flustered she slammed the door.

"Well that was fun" Urs's thoughts began to wonder again. What was it that he felt when he saved her? At the time it was like a voice in the back of his mind asking, no commanding, him to protect her. His thoughts were interrupted by Henrietta's voice "Come in" He entered the room and not 2 seconds after he closed the door did something slam into him, knocking him to the ground. The whatever-it-was began to nuzzle up against his helm. Urs heard a woman's voice "He is big and cuddly!"

"Marielle! I didn't say cuddly, I just said he was big!"

Urs looked down and saw a blonde woman clinging to his chest. He looked to Henrietta "I take it she is your Guild Master?"

Henrietta had her face in her palm. "Yes… this is Marielle, my Guild master"

"Hmm, let's see if I can get out of this blonde bear hug so we can have a proper introduction."

Before Henrietta can speak Urs stands up and lifts Marielle off of him by her shirt.

"Woah! You didn't say he was so strong!" Marielle exclaimed just dangling there.

"I didn't know!" Henrietta said back. 'But that would explain how he was able to use such large weapon. Is he muscular under all that armor?' She began to blush 'Wait, again why do I care?' Forcing down her emotions she says "How about I get some tea, and we can all sit down and talk.

Author's note:

So I apologize to the 3 odd people who actually seem to like my story. There was a bit of upheaval in my life not long after I posted my first chapter. I'm going to update this story as often as I can. I work 2 jobs so I don't exactly have lots of free time. Also to anyone who is German and speaks and reads it, I apologize in advance for anytime I may use wrong. I'll never have Urs speak in german, but I will have him call out weapon names in German.
