(Silica)"Kirito!" I shouted. He didn't even look up from his sword. "Kirito! Kirito!" I needed to talk to him. Eventually I caught up to him, "Kirito," I whispered. He looked up at me and when he looked up; I saw tears streaming down his face. "Kirito I-I-I I didn't believe-"
"SHUT UP SILICA!" he shouted. I couldn't face him after that so I ran away. I know I pushed my luck trying to talk to him, but why all of this? Maybe someone told him about Argo. He couldn't have killed her, he loved her. "A TELEPORT CRYSTAL!" Everyone around me turned and stared. "Sorry," I recently bought a bunch of teleportation crystals, maybe… No luck. This boss was clearly the most intelligent one of them all. As I was looking through my inventory, I saw a new item named Teleport Shard. I looked at the item description and it said "Use this item wisely, it can only be used once, merge it with your friends, they'll think they're a dunce. Every person has this item, tell all your friends, you can only find it, when this riddle ends." I wanted to smash the item, but I might be able to use it for my benefit. I found Kirito again in the same spot; still crying. "Kirito! I know how we can find Asuna! Rejoin my party first, I need to see if this will work." Suddenly a new name appeared under Klien's; it was Kirito's. "Thank you! Now, check you inventory for an item named Teleport Shard," and he nodded a reply. "S-S-S-Silica I found it."
"Look at the description for it!"
"Ok, here's what it says "So you found my secret, you've finally figured it out, look for two more people, or you guys will pout. Give all of the pieces, to the party leader, be there all together, or you will be deleted." "Huh, that last word didn't rhyme, anyways; we should get two more party members first."
"Already have them! Lizbeth and Klien!"
"Oh. Them."
"What are you mad at them?"
"Oh its nothing, just message them. Are you the party leader, Silica?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure."
"Well get them all here!" I messaged Lizbeth and Klien as fast as I could and when they got there, they avoided Kirito like the plague. I wanted us all to get back together as friends. "Alright everyone! I called all of you here for a very important reason! We may be able to find Asuna. First, Lizbeth, check your inventory for an item named Teleport Shard. "Its… Its right here; what's it for."
"Well if we put them all together in Silica's inventory, we will find Asuna!"
"Wait… that's what you called all of us here for?"
"Ya. The riddle explains what we need to do. Klien, read the riddle in the item description." The riddle read: You've got it now, now go all the way, send it to Lizbeth, do it before mid-day. "Fine send it to me Silica." It sounded very sarcastic. Silica looked at her with stern eyes. "What!" Lizbeth said, throwing her arms in the air. "Just accept the invite would ya!" Kirito looked up, a new party member had joined. Lizbeth was looking away. She didn't want to believe Kirito was the killer. She just knew he wasn't. "Great! Now Lizbeth, look for you teleport shard."
"Found it!"
"Great! Read the item description aloud."
"Alright; Don't be afraid, she is fine, give all the shards, to the leader."
"What?" Silica was rising into the air with a golden icon. Kirito looked away. There goes another, all thanks to my doing, he thought. Silica landed with a thud on the ground, panting. Lizbeth ran up to her but Silica was just laughing. "I get it now! It's so obvious! To be with her, we have to die!" Silica started towards the cliff. Kirito didn't know what to do. Wait. He was the original party leader! All he had to do was get the item out of her inventory before she made it there, wait maybe... Klein had just passed out. Lizbeth tried to stop her but she was moving really fast. I ran up to her and stabbed my blade right through her. She stopped and turned around. "Y-You really t-think you c-can hurt m-me?" She turned around. It looked as if she were melting into a pile of pixels. At this time, Lizbeth passed out too. I watched and hoped I had done the right thing.
(Silica P.O.V)
"Guys, guys!" She shouted. She tugged on Kirito's cloak but she just phased right through it. Kirito was the original party leader. She was such an idiot. She saw her soulless body walk towards the cliff. If she fell, she would die. Silica wanted to get back to her family. She saw Kirito launch forward. All she could feel was herself falling to the ground. Silica woke up only to find Kirito passed out right next to Klien and Lizbeth. She stood up and gave the teleport crystal to Kirito and walked over to a tree.
(All P.O.V)
Kirito woke up and saw Silica hanging upside down in a tree, doing flips. He also saw Klien and Lizbeth looking around like they were lost. He also had one new item in his inventory. "Klien, Lizbeth, Silica! C'mere!" Everyone ran over. Kirito held the item in his hand. He raised it above all of the party members. Everyone felt themselves fading away.
(Asuna P.O.V)
"I sure hope they're alright!" Oh boy. I was rambling to myself again. I sat down on a rock near a cherry tree. All that I've been doing is practicing my skills. Right now, they're higher than ever! Possibly even higher than Kirito's! Kirito, that name made her blush. She plopped herself back, hitting her head on the rock. "Is it wrong to love someone you hardly know?"
"I don't think so." A voice shouted from the distance. That was the first time in a while she had ever heard someone's voice. She turned around to find Kirito, mighty red in the face, hold his hand out to her. "I-I heard you talking to yourself, and… I have the same problem."
"Oh. Who's the lucky girl. I bet every girl would love to be with you."
"I'll only say if you say it at the same time, deal?"
"Deal."
"On the count of 3. 3"
"2"
"1"
At the same time they both said, "You" They both looked away faces both steaming hot from embarrassment but then they both looked back and met each other's gaze. "JUST KISS ALREADY," Lizbeth and Klien shouted. Kirito looked me in the eye and said "Only if you want to." I nodded. My face was as red as a beet, but his was too. Suddenly I felt his tender lips touch mine.
