Everything was deadly silence and no-one was making any signs of movement. Yuuki and her guild were on one side staring at the enemy while Kirito was in the middle stopping anyone from reaching them.
The silence was disturbed by the mages casting spells and firing them at Kirito.
Yuuki span around to see one hit Kirito. "Kirito are you ok" Yuuki shouted. Once the dust had settled, Kirito was still standing unharmed smirking at them.
"How are you still standing" someone said to him. "It's easy to hit a fireball spell than a speeding bullet" Kirito said while thinking back to when he cut Sinon's sniper bullet in GGO.
"Quick fire at him again" another person shouted. Everybody watched as Kirito activated a sword skill and slashed the first fireball in two. He then proceeded to dodge the second and back flipped over the third and slashed away the fourth one.
Once Kirito was back on his feet, he pulled out Excalibur and went to attack only to see three shadows on the ground in front of him. He looked up to see Sinon, Leafa and Klein.
"Go we will take it from here" Sinon said while firing off an arrow.
"Thanks guys" Kirito said while turning around and running to Yuuki. "You guys ready" Kirito said once he got there. They nodded their heads and began to attack the people in front of them.
Yuuki noticed there were healing and said "Hey that's cheating". Kirito laughed and ducked under one guys attack and activating the Slap Shot sword and finished him off and said "Yuuki remember this is ALO they have mages that can heal people". Yuuki stuck her tongue out at Kirito while dodging an attack and finishing off the last guy.
"Kirito we can give you 10 minutes" he heard Leafa shout as he ran into the boss room.
"That's a pretty big boss dodge its attacks and only use items when you need to" Kirito said while running at the boss. He ducked under its weapon and shouted "Starburst Stream" and started to hit the boss with a 16 hit combo. "Switch" Yuuki shouted from behind him.
Kirito jumped out of the way and Yuuki activated her Original sword skill Mother's Rosario and hit the boss with an 11 hit combo. "Everyone quick start attacking the boss it's almost dead" Kirito said while activating the Vertical Square sword skill.
After the boss was defeated, Kirito was sprawled on the floor regaining his energy. Siune walked over to Yuuki and said "You're going to have to tell him soon, because you don't want him finding out on his own". Kirito noticed the sad look on Yuuki's face as he stood up.
"Yuuki what's wrong" Kirito asked as he walked over to her. Yuuki looked at him with a sad expression and said "Can we talk in private please I have something important to tell you".
"Yeah lets activate this floors teleport and we can go back to my house" Kirito said as he began to walk away only to be stopped by Nori who was tugging on his jacket sleeve.
"This is really important ok so listen to what she says before deciding on what you do" Nori said to him. Kirito was now afraid of what she was going to tell so he nodded his and quickly followed Yuuki.
"So what did you want to tell me" Kirito said once they were in his house. "I'm going to get straight to the point and tell you ok" Yuuki said not facing him. When she turned around, Kirito noticed she was crying and was about to ask what was wrong but decided against it and waited.
"I'm dying Kirito" she squeaked out in a whisper. It took Kirito a few seconds to figure out what she said and his eyes widened. "What do you mean you're dying"? Kirito asked afraid of what her answer might be.
"Right now in the real world while you're lying on your bed I'm hooked up to about 10 different machines just to keep me alive" Yuuki said with tears streaming down her face.
Kirito felt his eyes brimming with tears and he asked "How are you dying". She looked away from him before answering "I've got A.I.D.S Kirito". She looked away as she continued to talk. "The doctor said they had to perform a caesarean but there was accident that caused a large amount of bleeding so I was giving a blood treatment". Kirito remained quiet as she was talking.
Yuuki looked Kirito in the eyes as she finished what she was saying. "The blood was infected with HIV, which caused AIDS. Tears where streaming down his face as he said "But why you, your such a great girl not to mention cute. Yuuki blushed and said "Thank You I know it's unfair but there is treatment for it. "Can't you get someone to pay for your treatment"? Kirito asked. "No-one can my sister is dead and so are my parents". A light bulb lit up in Kirito's and he said "Well what if I paid for it instead".
Yuuki's eyes widened and she said "No you don't have to so please while you can just leave me die alone I don't want anyone and especially you getting hurt". Yuuki walked towards the door but stood frozen when she heard what Kirito said. "You just expect me to give up on you just because you're dying, well you have it wrong because I won't give up until you're alive in the real world". "No-one dies alone. When someone dies, the part of them that lives inside someone else also dies. You already live inside me Yuuki".
Yuuki turned around and ran at Kirito and jumped at him burying her head into his chest and cries. Once the cries turn to sniffles she looks at him and says "Promise me Kirito don't leave me alone ever again please".
Kirito leans his forehead against hers and says "I can 100% keep that promise you will never be alone again and I will find a way to save you in the real world. She nods her head and she leans it on his shoulder while both of them close their eyes getting some rest.
Kirito opened his eyes to a dark room and a weight on his chest. He looked down to see Yuuki fast asleep snoring quietly and he opened up his menu and realized the time. "Hey Yuuki time to wake up I need to log off I've got school tomorrow" Kirito said while poking her face.
Yuuki's eyes fluttered open but she clung to Kirito tighter and said "I don't want you to leave me". HE smiled down at her and said "Well how about after school tomorrow I will visit you at the hospital". Yuuki's head quickly shot up and smiled at him. He stood up gave her a hug and said as he was logging off "Bye Yuuki see you tomorrow".
Yuuki made sure he was logged off before smiling and saying "Bye Kirito, I love you".
