*At the Knight of the Blood oath base with Asuna and Kirito*
"That is the report!" Asuna claimed with Kirito next to her.
"Alright..." Heatclift claimed with a sigh.
"Also we would like a temporary leave from the guild, it makes me uneasy..." Asuna muttered the last part.
"Fine." Heatclift stated, as Asuna and Kirito look at each other with a smile. "But you will return when you are needed, lucky for you my brother is not here to stop you two from having fun..." Heatclift whispered the last part, making Kirito and Asuna's eyes widen a bit.
*With Rain and Nightmare (Day after the party)*
"So what are you reading?" Rain asked standing next to him while he is on a rocking chair, as she wore a black top with short sleeves, and a pair of jeans stopping in the middle of her thighs to the beginning of her jeans (don't know the name), and black boots, which Nightmare looked at her and smile and pat a spot for her to sit next to him which she did.
"Just some stories about Nordic history." Nightmare answered, as he wore some simple jeans, a black shirt with gray long sleeves and some black shoes, and he wore black glasses, as he showed the book to her which she nodded leaning next to him with closed eyes as the rocked back and forth.
"Why do you need glasses?" Rain questioned, as Nightmare just starred.
"Cause...I feel like a researcher a bit..." Nightmare admitted, making Rain laugh for a while, then no sound was heard.
"What do you think Asuna and Kirito are doing Nightmare?" Rain asked braking the ice, which made Nightmare think.
"I think my brother is probably saying something stupid." Nightmare sated with a sigh, making Rain laugh.
"You might be right, it could effect Asuna and they might be having a talk." Rain added with a teasing smirk, which Nightmare kissed her forehead.
*With Kirito and Asuna*
"ACHOO!" The newlywed-in game sneezed, which Kirito wore a black long sleeve shirt, black pants, and shirt, while Asuna wore a tan like long sleeve shirt, and a brown skirt stopping at her knees, and some brown boots.
"What the heck?" Kirito questioned.
"I think someone is talking about us..." Asuna claimed, as Kirito looked at her in agreement.
"Yeah...and while we were kissing...anyway who do you think it is?" Kirito asked, as Asuna thought of it.
"Liz and Klien maybe..." Asuna answered, as Kirito shook his head.
"I think it is Nightmare and Rain or one of them." Kirito told Asuna, as she looked confused.
*With Rain and Nightmare*
"...hey Nightmare I've been thinking of something..." Rain told Nightmare as he looked at her. "Punisher told me that at the beginning of game you almost died a lot...why?" Rain asked, making Nightmare freeze.
"..." Nightmare breathed as his bangs covered his eyes.
"I'm sorry for asking! Looks like it was really bad! I'll just go make some lunch..." Rain told Nightmare hurrying up and was about to leave, till Nightmare grabbed her arm and brought her into a hug, and Rain realized he was shaking.
"...your right it was bad...it was something I don't want to remember...but to answer your question I went mad since around that time the orange and red players started to rob or kill people...I tried helping players back then when they needed it, till one day a group of 25 people including myself went to go to a quest one guy found that had a boss, but once we got to a spot far away we were attacked, we were the first group attacked by Laughing Coffen...5 people in the group were apart of the guild and started to already kill, so I went in and beat those guys down...but it didn't matter once I got half of them arrested everyone in the group died, I tried to protect everyone but no one lived but I had to escape since I was out numbered...and so then I promise myself once I got away I would take down Laughing Coffen, and that one member that made life here hell for me...and as a child..." Nightmare whispered the last part, as Rain looked shocked looking Nightmare in the eyes, while he looked to the sky. "After that day I solo every thing that was dangerous, but I lied about having duel wielding for a few months...I had it since after that day and always used it when I was alone, and in the way I got all the skills except one...till one day I bit more than I could chew, and I almost died, till Punisher and Blade came, but lucky for me they didn't noticed it so I hid it...and I hated that skill it always brought up bad memories...this is what happened." Nightmare finished, causing Rain to be speechless.
"You know what Nightmare...you don't have to worry about anyone of us dieing, I can promise you that we will make it out of this game together." Rain claimed, causing Nightmare to stare at her then smile.
"Hehe, alright, come on let's make lunch." Nightmare stated holding his hand out which Rain accepted.
"Alright Nightmare!" Rain replied with a wink.
"Ray...that is my real life name." Nightmare told Rain which shocked her, as Nightmare left her dumbfounded.
"Huh?! Wait hold on!" Rain cried gaining Nightmare's attention.
"Yes?" Nightmare replied with a raised eyebrow.
"My name in real life is Nijiki Karatachi." Rain answered, making Nightmare surprise, as Rain went to the kitchen.
"...Nijiki Karatachi...that's a nice name." Nightmare whispered to himself.
*A few days later in the afternoon*
"Man not a lot of fish these days...hmm? What is that in the lake?" Nightmare asked himself till he heard a scream from a far. "What the hell?" Nightmare muttered to himself.
*With Asuna and Kirito in the morning*
'Hehe he sleeps like a baby, and looks like a kid...wait is he younger than me?!" Asuna thought, but then smiled bring Kirito into a hug, till he yawned and looked at Asuna, who jumped on the far side of the bed in embarrassment.
"Hmm? Good morning..." Kirito yawned, as Asuna blushed a bit
"M-morning! S-so Kirito what do you want to do today?" Asuna asked cheerfully.
"Ugh...I think I just want to lay down..." Kirito replied, as Asuna frowned.
"Ow no! We are going to something outside, unless you don't want to do anything with me..." Asuna muttered, which got Kirito to get up from the bed and got his clothes on, which caused Asuna to smile.
*A few minutes later*
"So where are we going?" Asuna asked Kirito while holding his hand.
"You just have to wait and see." Kirito replied, causing Asuna to pout.
"Hey let me ride on your shoulders!" Asuna asked, making Kirito stare.
"Really? Why?" Kirito questioned.
"Well it is not fun to stay the same height all the time." Asuna answered, making Kirito sigh and crouch down and put his hands out.
"Alright get on..." Kirito grumbled. 'If Nightmare saw this he will be laughing like no tomorrow.' Kirito thought bitterly.
"If you turn around I will slap you." Asuna replied with a teasing smile.
"Just get on..." Kirito muttered with a faint blush, with Asuna getting on his shoulders, for him to stand up.
"Wow I can see the lake from this view!" Asuna exclaimed.
"Well easy for you to say..." Kirito replied with a frown.
"Hey if you want I'll give you a ride next time, but for now our directions are north east, so giddy up horsey!" Asuna exclaimed, as Kirito sigh but did what he was told.
'Yep Nightmare will totally laugh...' Kirito thought.
*A few minutes later*
"Hehe, a bug almost went in my mouth!" Asuna laughed, as Kirito blush noticing some people are looking at them, which Asuna noticed and smiled. "Look we got our own personal audience." Asuna exclaimed waving at the men watching them and they wave back, but Asuna noticed Kirito felt embarrassed a bit. "Hey do you want me to get of?" Asuna questioned, but Kirito shook his head no.
"No your fine where you are." Kirito answered then started to run, causing Asuna to laugh, while the men watching smiled.
*In the middle of the forest*
"You know I heard this rumor from the village." Kirito told Asuna making her interested. "The rumor was that if you travel far in the forest you can see 'them'." Kirito continued, making Asuna confused.
"Them?" Asuna questioned, which Kirito smirked.
"Yeah gost." Kirito answered, causing Asuna to shake.
"Y-you mean monster like types?" Asuna asked nervously.
"No...I mean really gost." Kirito told her, causing her to freeze. "One day a villager came to get wood to get wood but he stayed out till the dark and then he saw the gost." Kirito finish making Asuna scared till she saw two figures from afar and screamed, causing Kirito to look at her.
"O-over there! Let me off! Let me off!" Asuna screamed pointing in a direction which Asuna then backflip off Kirito and hid behind him, which Kirito looked at the spot to see two kids that are females fall to the ground.
"Wait...crap those are kids!" Kirito yelled running to the direction the kids are at.
"Kirito wait!" Asuna exclaimed racing after Kirito, and once she finally caught up he was trying to hold up two girls that was no less then kids 10 or under, one had a pale skin color, a white dress, and black hair, while the other girl had light purple hair, and the same color dress that matches her hair, and she also had pale, but overall the two girls had the same features of face and everything.
"Why are two girls here and why don't they have cursers?" Kirito question lifting one girl to one of his shoulders and put the other girl on his other shoulder.
"Good question, but I have to say these two could be sisters by their looks, but hair color not really." Asuna claimed, which Kirito nodded in agreement.
"Yeah...we should watch them for now since we can't leave them here and someone from a orange or red guild might come." Kirito told Asuna.
"Yeah let's go." Asuna agreed, which they then ran of to their home.
*With Nightmare*
"Geez who ever scream that loud is alright...almost dark." Nightmare talked to himself and got up to head home, but went around the lake to see something freaky a little girl who is 10 years old or younger with black hair with silver tips in the back, while she wore a black dress, and had a light tan skin tone. "What the hell? Why is there a girl here in a lake no less?" Nightmare asked himself leaning down and quickly grabbing the girl to then hurry up to his and Rain's house.
"Hmm? Hi Nightmare! Do you-what the heck why do you have a child?!" Rain exclaimed in shock.
"I found her...in the lake, I didn't know what to do so I brought her here." Nightmare answered, which Rain hurried over to him.
"Ok let's take her in our room." Rain exclaimed, which Nightmare nodded.
"Right, but what is strange is that this girl has no curser." Nightmare told Rain.
"I guess it might be a glitch...who knows." Rain stated.
*A few hours later*
'Why? Why was this little girl in the lake?' Nightmare thought continuesly, till Rain put a hand on his shoulder, which he turn around to see her in a black night gown stopping a bit above her knees. 'Shit! Why do I keep on blushing to see her in that gown!' Nightmare thought in embarrassment.
"Come on it is time for bed." Rain told Nightmare which he nodded and follow Rain, and got into his night clothes, a black t-shirt, and black shorts with a red line on the side, which Rain laughed. "You and Kirito are brothers Ray~" Rain chimed using Nightmare's real name, which caused Nightmare to laugh.
"Hehe, I guess your right except..." Nightmare trailed of, which Rain frown a bit.
"Yeah since you two are really not brothers by blood or in anything related." Rain finished then hugged him. "Don't worry even if not by blood you two are more than brother like a actual family." Rain told Nightmare, which he then hugged her.
"Thanks Nijiki." Nightmare thanked her then kiss her on the lips, then they went to bed, but unknown to they the little girl went into their bed, once they knocked out.
*With Asuna and Kirito*
"Why? Two little girls that are by themselves in the woods?" Asuna asked herself, then looked at the knocked out Kirito, then lay down next to him, till the girls sleeped walked into their bed holding onto one of the two into a hug.
*In the morning*
"Hmm...?" Asuna mumbled rubbing her eyes to see the girls in the room looking at her, the black haired girl had black eyes, while the light purple hair had red eyes, the sight of both girls awake shocked her to jump back a bit, which woke Kirito up as he fell to the floor.
"Ugh...ow what happened?" Kirito asked, as the three girls looked over the bed to see Kirito in pain, till he noticed them.
"Umm...are you ok Kirito?" Asuna asked, while the light purple hair girl lightly laughs.
"Yea...so umm...if I may ask who are you two and where are your parents?" Kirito asked the two little girls, who were thinking.
"I'm...I'm Yui." The black haired girl named Yui answered nervously.
"And I'm her sister Strea!" The light purple haired girl named Strea added cheerfully, making Asuna and Kirito surprise.
"You two are sisters?" Kirito asked in surprise.
"Yea! But...I don't remember if our parents are here...I don't even know anything else other than me and my sisters name." Strea stated, which Yui agreed, making Asuna felt bad about the two girls.
"Ok Yui, Strea I'm Kirito, and this is Asuna, can you say our names?" Kirito asked, which the two girls looked at each other.
"Kirito, Asuna." Strea replied casually.
"Kiro? Asua?" Yui struggled, making Kirito smile.
"It's Kirito, can you say Kirito?" Kirito asked with a smile.
"K-kirto?" Yui replied with a struggle.
"It's ok, just call me what ever you feel lik!" Kirito exclaimed, which made Yui think.
"Kirto is daddy, and Aun is mommy." Yui claimed making everyone shocked, which then made Strea smile in joy.
"Yeah you two can be our parents!" Strea stated in happiness, which made Asuna smile, and Kirito soon joined in with a smile of his own.
"Alright I'm mommy then, hehe let's go have some breakfast!" Asuna cheered.
"Yay!" Yui and Strea cheered, as Kirito smiled.
*With Nightmare and Rain*
"So...you are up..." Nightmare stated awkwardly to the little girl with black hair and silver tips at the end of her hair, and had honey gold eyes. 'Tried to make breakfast for all of us to only see the girl I found watching me.' Nightmare thought, which Rain soon came from the stairs to see breakfast and the little girl awake sitting on the table and was able to look at her and Nightmare.
"Your awake!" Rain claimed rushing to the girl. "Are you ok? You were found in the the lake so we decided to watch you, so who are you? And where are your parents?" Rain asked, which the girl looked a bit sad.
"I'm sorry I don't know anything other than my name." The girl answered, making Nightmare shocked.
"Well what is your name?" Rain asked.
"Z-Zoey..." The girl named Zoey replied, making Nightmare and Rain smile.
"That's a nice name...breakfast is ready, you can call me Nightmare if you want." Nightmare told Zoey with a smile.
"And I'm Rain!" Rain added with a smile, but Zoey looked embarrassed about something.
"Umm...I would like to call you two something different..." Zoey told them, making them a bit surprised.
"Sure what do you want to call us?" Nightmare asked putting the food on the table.
"Umm...well Nightmare I want to call you Papa...and Rain I want to call you Mama..." Zoey told the two, which they were blushing and were shocked, but Nightmare soon smiled.
"Alright I can actually live with having a daughter even until she regain her memories to find out who your parents are." Nightmare stated, shocking the two girls, till Zoey stood up and ran at Nightmare and hugged him to cry tears of joy, which Rain smiled and joined of the hug.
*A few minutes later*
"Maybe we should look in one of the floors to find people who would know her." Rain told Nightmare, as he holded a sleeping Zoey.
"Maybe floor one, since all the children are there." Nightmare thought out loud, which Rain nodded in agreement.
"Yea...might be the only thing we can do." Rain admitted, which Zoey shifted a bit getting into a comfortable position, causing Rain to smile. "I guess I will get clothes for her ready.
"Alright Karatachi." Nightmare winked, causing Rain to blush.
*A hour later*
"Jeez this pace is so quite and deserted." Nightmare stated wearing his casual clothes that he wore at the cabin, with Rain wearing the clothes she wore at the cabin as well, while Zoey wore a black long sleeve shirt, with blue short jeans and black shoes and socks.
"Well no one really comes here so might make sense." Rain replied with a sigh, till they heard a scream.
"What is it with screams? Ugh...Rain hold on to Zoey! I'll go help who ever that was!" Nightmare told Rain while he past Zoey to Rain, and equipped his weapons, then ran off.
"W-wait hold on Nightmare!" Rain called, as she and Zoey ran.
*With Asuna and Kirito a bit earlier*
"Floor 1 might be the best place to search for answers about if anyone knows the parents of Yui and Strea." Asuna claimed, watching a kocked out Yui and Strea sleeping on a couch hugging each other.
"Yea...I'm going to miss being their dad when we find their parents." Kirito stated with a sad smile, which Asuna returned.
"Yea...we just met them but I really want them to stay." Asuna agreed.
"Mommy...Daddy..." Strea and Yui called making the two smile.
*At floor one a hour later*
"Ok does any of this look familiar?" Kirito asked Yui and Strea, as she was on his shoulders she wore a pink sweater and brown skirt, and some black boots, while Strea was on Asuna's shoulders and wore a black skirt, black boots and a light purple shirt.
"No, not really." The girls replied in sync.
"No! Let them go!" A woman screamed from a alley.
"That does not sound good..." Kirito claimed looking at the alley that had the scream and saw the ACLF cornering 3 kids and surrounded one adult.
"Now give us everything you own...gear, money, weapons, everything." One of the 7 ACLF members told the woman, which she clicked her teeth, when Asuna and Kirito jumped over everything and stand next to the kids.
"Are you kids alright?" Asuna asked the kids, which they nodded yes.
"Are you two here to-ugh!" Another member of the ACLF started before he and the rest got hit by a spinning round house kick, revealing Nightmare sliding back with both his swords on his back, then Rain came following behind by kicking a member from behind then slide next to Nightmare.
"Nightmare? What are you-wait why do you have a little girl that has the face of Rain, the skin of you, and has a mix hair style of both of you?" Kirito asked confused and surprise.
"Umm...I'll explain later, but short version meet your adopted niece, and...what about you? Never mind we will talk later, but for now these basters need to learn their lesson." Nightmare exclaimed darkly, activating final revolution hitting all the ACLF members out of the alley and kept on charging at them never stoping from attacking, till a few minutes later to see a knocked out Strea, Yui, and Zoey.
"What was that?" Kirito asked Asuna looking at the three girls.
"WHAT THE HELL DID I MISS?!" Nightmare yelled in surprise.
