Chapter Dedication: adrienna22 and funkyhusky
adrienna22 : What is SAO you ask? Well to explain that I'm gonna have to sing a song but I'll spare your ears from my bad singing :3 SAO is for Sword Art Online, its an anime. Its really good so if you haven't heard of it you should watch it! I'm the youngest of 3 brothers, of course I'd know about video games! I know! My epic gun of 'interestingness' scared all the zombies away! :D But yes I agree there is still a lot of great stories. I'm sorry, I'll fix that and turn it into italics and write the POV info right now! *bows repeatedly in forgiveness* Yup, this chapter should remind you of GA anime moments as well ;) I try really hard on the fighting parts so thank you! ^.^ Not quite, but her 2nd Alice is better explained here. Natsume isn't their, yet ;) Thanks a bunch for reading and keep doing so!
someone : No problem! anything for my readers ^.^
nix : Yup Asuna and Mikan are alike but Kirito and Natsume aren't :( There is such a thing as a NutellaIsMyKryptonite twist?! AW, THANK YOU! *Tears up in joy* Roger! I will not cling to the SAO plot in your command. But the significant moments that occurred in both animes will be displayed here. I have a plot turning that involves Persona but that's alright someone else is the leader of GOTR. Thank you so much! :3 I'll be sure to take your advice.
blueabyss16 : What can I say, I grew up in the ghetto so yeah :S Haha yeah I've got a crazy sense of humor.

Now get to reading!
Natsume Hyuuga
"I challenge you to battle with me!" Hands on her hips, she stood ends of her brown hair was flowing, the rest of it trapped amongst annoying pigtails. A determined look was fixed into her matching brown eyes. A flicker of surprise crossed my face but it quickly turned into a wide smirk. Her eyes narrowed, taking in the bait of haughty façade that I had laid out for her. There seemed to be an almost tangible aura around. The momentary look of suspicion vanished as a radiant smile replaced it.
"Come at me already, or are you… Chicken?"
I successfully resisted the urge to raise my brow at her words. By adding in that last line, she was testing my integrity as a player. An underhanded manipulation, I scoffed.
"What's in it for me?"
Her eyes travelled away from mine as if perplexed by the question. Marking my cue to blow her off and leave, I placed my hand over my jacket pocket that held a teleporting crystal. My actions were interrupted by her outburst, "Anything the winner wants! Loser has to comply…"
I answered her with a surge of fire engaged onto the pigtails in her hair, "You're on."
A transitory look of bewilderment wavered over her and she restrained herself from making any sudden exclaims. You could tell she wanted to though. With a brand new look of resentment she palmed the ends of her tresses. This meant war for her. Only amusement to me.
She charged towards me in a fearsome posture, intent on splitting my skull. She did backflip to escalate the force of her kick aimed for me. It was fast, a simple move enhanced to an impossible speed. I'll give her some acclaim, she did get a lot better with her Alice and such. However, I avoided her attack with a single step and countered with a horizontal outpouring of fire, exceeding the speed.
Her nullification Alice made my attack as effective as giving her foot a high five. A bad word came across my mind then, and I'll give you a hint, it starts with F.
The battle reached a fever pitch then, the other players that previously attempted to defeat the Floor Boss were inspired by our advance when watching us. Her new Alice was what shocked me the most, she was able to steal my Alice! Here, I thought I had the most kickass Alice.
I faced death too many times to count, too many times to care any longer. I walked with it, side by side as I fought for my strength, skills, and levels. I slayed thousands of enemies, survived hundreds of battles. Destroying every enemy for that feeling of triumph. Why did this seem so wide of the mark? As if hurting this girl was the last thing I wanted to do. Maybe just thing once I could put my ego's call on hold.
She charged at me with more authority. After she had stolen my Alice with her own I felt weaker but I was still capable of defeating her, but why wasn't I? She aimed a thriving flame towards me and I dodged it with effortlessness. I knew her every move as if I had taught it to her myself, why wasn't I using this to my advantage? Get ahold of yourself, Natsume. You're acting like a fucking girl, asking yourself stupid questions. Finish her already!
In one swift motion, I grabbed her wrist and put her into a headlock. She struggled to escape but my grip was firm. Perhaps I was possessed? Or maybe high? Drugs were obviously out of question. High on air, I guess. Whatever. The bottom line is, I let her go and said, "Tch, you win little girl. I'm done." I frowned, confused by my own self-made paradox.
Flabbergasted and frustrated. I'm guessing those were the two sensations flickering inside her. I could tell the crowd of players behind us were too. They complained in disenchantment as if watching a wrestling match and one of the competitors changed into a tutu and started dancing Swan Lake.
She flared her nose and glared at me. "Fine. But you know what this means right?" I sighed inwardly, already knowing her ensuing words.
"You're my slave for the rest of the day!"
Screwed up day isn't it? I was following this dimwitted girl around like a dog on a leash! Trailing behind her gaining numerous glances from passersby strollers. Discomfiture was over flooding me and I tilted my head up gazing at the dark sky. The lights surrounding the area fit in with the atmosphere of the town. The town was called Central Town, as I've heard. There were couples kissing on curbs sucking each other's faces off, people smiling and enjoying themselves, everything was…nice. I felt an eyebrow twitch. Gross, reality check- Or, virtual reality check, we are stuck in this world until god know when and these people are using there lazy butts and- It disgusts me to even think about it.
Suddenly, a soft humming was heard and I my feet stopped its motion immediately. I looked up at the brunette in front of me through my bangs only to find the idiot staring idly into space. Maybe my theory of being drunk was proven to be correct because, I think my heart skipped a beat. Tsk, here I am, doing my part while she's just daydreaming. What was the point of bringing me here? Total waste of time.
To emphasize my point, I made a small fireball in my hands and threw it in the direction of her before it was extinguished by her stupid nullification Alice. She turned around and grinned wildly at the emptiness of the threat.
She tilted her head one side innocently. Her bright grin was starting to get on my nerves. The most annoying, hyperactive, loud-mouth, optimistic, happy-go-lucky girl I've ever met. God forbid I meet another.
"Annoyed? Good. Now go up to that stand and buy me some howalon."
With a roll of my eyes, I walked up to the middle-aged NPC selling the howalon and handed him a bag full of rabbits. Damn, these things weren't cheap. I hated howalons. I hated it with a passion that never died and with a silence that was most probably severely unhealthy for my psychological health.
Firstly, I hated its color – pink. Pink is undoubtedly, one of the ugliest, girlish and stupidest colors of all the colors in the rainbow, and I loathed it.
Secondly, I hated how soft it was. Soft was not right for men. Men were supposed to eat hard things – because that was manly and not at all soft.
Thirdly, it was sweet. That was probably what disgusted I most, the sugary, melt in your mouth taste was for girls.
I never tried one of these, howalons, those reeking girl foods that everyone around loved to eat. Quite obviously, I was rather infuriated by the big hype about howalons when the brown haired, ugly, polka dotted-panty-wearing, loud, pigtail girl ate and marveled at its pink, soft, sweetness. Disgusting. The girl herself, was rather disgusting too, smiling for no apparent reason– disgusting.
Lost in my disgust for her I absent mindedly scowled. The girl took one fleeting look and me and grinned that agonizing and annoying grin.
"Want some?" she said. The good news, she wasn't grinning. Bad news, she was smirking. A smirk similar to the one I wear. Now she's making my signature smirk annoying for myself as well. Hey, but she kind of looked hot in it. I mentally smacked myself after that last thought.
I stood dumbfounded at the girl's offering of howalons, stretching towards me, daring me.
"Hey, you know, we've never told each other our names. I'm Mikan."
"I prefer to stay anonymous."
A brief look of protest came over her face and she gave out a whining, "No fair! I told you mine!"
I smirked regaining my old composure, "Hasn't your mother taught you not to tell you name to a stranger?"
That same look of protest and resentment appear before her face only to be followed by the expression-that-must-not-be-named that will soon start to give me nightmares.
"Fine. I guess I'll just have to call you," she dramatically paused for effect.
"Pervert-kun."
Somebody chain me to a tree right now. That girl is become my reason to commit murder. I heard a beep come from my status updates and the icon was blinking excitedly. I touched the icon to find a message from that stupid guild again.
Dear Player,
We are upset with the fact that you didn't attend our meeting. Fortunately, we believe in second chances, so a follow-up meeting will be held announcing our guild leaders. Please attend our meeting this time.
We hope to see you there,
The Guardians of the Real.
Click Delete or Ok to accept.
I waved my finger over the delete icon and was about to click continue when an excruciating screech entered through my ears and made them bleed.
"No-way-no-way!"
"Would be ever so kind enough to save my ears a trip to the doctor?" (A/N: Credit to RaspberriCloud for that genius line)
She sheepishly smiled, "I just opened up my status updates seeing that you were doing it too and, aaaaahhhhh! I've just been declared the vice president for a guild!"
She jumped up and down in joy of the news she just received. I was curious to know what guild was stupid enough to declare this idiot as their leader. I peered through her shoulder, only to find that it was the same guild that had asked me to join them. Another reason as to why that guild was stupid.
"I went to the meeting that was held today and it was awesome! They seemed so mature and elite! I can't wait to be a member of their guild! Plus the drinks they had were to die for!"
The idiot continued to jump up and down with glee. I glanced back and forth from her smiling face to my own screen. Why is it so special to her? Mature and elite? Pssshhh. I removed my finger from the delete button. Perhaps I should go but just for amusement and to laugh at how stupid everything is. Not because of her. Tsk, she doesn't even have big boobs. I'm not experiencing that J word am I? What did they call it? Jealousy. I shudder at the thought of it. With one more look at the girl, I turned the Ok button.
Another long chapter! DID YOU GUYS LIKE NATSUME IN THIS?! I feel terrible, abandoning my other story and focusing on this one. Oh well, so I hope you are all able to acknowledge how I'm mixing the two animes and writing this story. Remember during the festival thingy and game the Special Ability class created. Blah blah blah, Natsume made Mikan his slave and its just like that except switched around. And for those of you that watch SAO the Knights of The Blood Oath made Asuna their vice president, yup. The similarities are intentionally there. So keep reading and reviewing.
