Kirito sat there still breathing heavy but more under control

" Hey!" Sinon said tapping his shoulder,

Kirito's survival instincts kicked in and lepted away reaching for his sword, until he saw it was sinon

" oh...it's you." Kirito said sadly scooting back to his seat.

" whoa you ok you look like you saw a ghost." She said sitting next to him

" some people would say I did." Kirito said

" what do you mean?" Sinon asked to get no responce in return

"...wha-? Oh sorry spacing out its just, I think someone I knew from a older game is here." Kirito said

" like who-?" She asked but kirito never responded, he was already in the next match.

Kiritos darkness his past, all those people who died in his name everyone who lives he messed up. Now was his time to make it up.

In the combat area it was open and one shot was fired, a warning shot scraping his left cheek by a sniper.

Getting battle ready kirito drew his blade and let out his war cry " ARRRRR!" He screamed

That one bullet was the only shot ever fired in that match.

In the lobby people were watching kirito and his matches " he's been taking out everyone like that." Sinon friend replied before looking at sinon " your semifinal match is next right?" He asked

" yea that's right." Sinon answered

" well let them have it." Her friend said as he watched sinon walking away.

Sinon couldn't stop thinking about the boy named kirito ' who is he? Why is there so much darkness in his heart?' She thought as she entered the match and set up her self for the match all the time focusing on him. Finally the matched ended in her victory and went to find out who she would be facing next to find it to be the one she could not stop thinking about. Kirito on the highway bridge map to.

After a few seconds they were on the map one on each side sinon went to mount inside the bus to try to take him out sniper set up. She waited and waited and waited. Until she saw kirito walking towards her eyes down just walking bags covering her eyes.

' does he think he can just dodge my bullets!' She thought ' well that's his mistake' she looked thought her scope at kirito ' this is for tricking me, for lying to me, for making me remember, " FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID YOU BASTARD!" She screamed the last part as she fired shattering the window of the bus as the bullet flew and hit the car behind him making his long hair fly past and the car exploding as it punctured the fuel line. She looked throughout the scope to see his reaction. One of not caring, one of failure, one of...ending, his eyes, purple circles on nothingness showing nothing,

This got sinon mad and she ran out to face them

" WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She asked " DONT YOU TAKE ANYTHING FAIR?!" She said

" it's my fault all of it." He said as he wiped away tears " everything I did has caused pain and misery to everyone around me." He said

" well that doesn't matter now what matters is-!" She said

" NOTHING MATTERS NOW! EVERYTHING I DID CAUSED THIS! EVERYWHERE I GO PEOPLE DIE NO MATTER WHAT I DO! AND FOR SOME REASON PEOPLE COME CLOSER TO ME ONLY TO BE PUT INTO MORE RISKS! I CAME HER TO TRY A NEW GAME SINON BUT TO ALSO ESCAPE THE MISERY IVE PUT MY FRIENDS THROUGH, MY PARENTS MY BEST FRIENDS, HECK EVEN YOU HAVE SUFFERED FROM ME!" He said as he fell on his knees " I-I just I don't know anymore." He cried as the pool of tears.

" WELL WHAT HAVE YOU SUFFERED THAT IS SO MUCH THE PROBLEM!" She yelled at him but the cameras didn't pick the voice up.

" it doesn't matter but right now I have a job to do I'm sorry to force all that on you its my problem and mine alone and which I shall end it. Sorry for messing up the match do you want to try again?" He asked in a distanced voice like a robot.

" how are we to do that?" Sinon asked taken back at how normal he is.

" by a duel, you still have a bullet in your gun right?" He asked

" yea so?" She asked as kirito pulled out his pistol, sinon took aim but kirito held his hand up to stop her form shooting then proceeded to reload the gun, releasing the bullet in the chamber. And grabbing it in midair. Then held it out wards

" simple once I drop this bullet and it hits the ground you shoot me and I try to hit you." Kirito said

" you know if I try to do that you'll only have a second to react." Sinon replied

" I know but it's what I can do to make it up to you." Kirito said stuck on the idea.

" ok then your loss" sinon said aiming in her scope at his left leg when kirito dropped the bullet

Time seemed to freeze at that point as the bullet hit the ground the unarmed kirito with reflexes that could rival the gods suddenly had his sword in his hand as the bullet from the sniper went flying at the swordsman. The blade met the bullet and was melted on contact with the plasma and the wind passed by on both sides making it look like he cut the bluet into two parts.

' impossible!' Sinon screamed in her mind as she tried to reload to be met with a blade under her neck.

She lost.

" h-how did you do that that should be impossible to do you cut my bullet in half at 10 meters if you blinked you would have missed." She asked

" I saw you aim at my leg thought the scope. And I was able to block it form there." Kirito explaned

" but how, how are you so strong how can you do these feats and why is it that when ever I look into you smiling or not I see darkness. Why are you called what you are?" She asked

" if you could fire that gun in this game and who ever you hit in the real world would die and you knew that fully well that it was you or someone else that had a life worth living, would you still pull the trigger?" Kirito asked

Sinon stood there shocked ' holy how does this guy know this, what he there? No I would have seen him that day.' Sinon thought as she was pulled back into a flashback but pulled out when kirito spoke again

" well I guess I won, could you surrender please I really don't like to hit girls, real or virtual...it's to much." He said as he disarmed his sword sinon turned huffed and surrendered ending the match as the two went on to the finals.

They both were teleported to the main HUD kirito looked at the time

" well I guess this is where we part goodby sinon see you tomorrow." He said as he left and logged out
