Chapter 13
Hey everyone I'm back with the next chapter for you all, now like the usual I do not own the Sword Art Online anime, manga, or video games or anything like that, but I do own my OC's and the story idea, besides this lets get this story started! Enjoy!
"Aaaahhh!" A yell came from a room of a two story house in a room which was painted dark grey, the person in the room who screamed was a boy with black hair, pale skin, and is wearing black clothes, but the strange thing is that his right eye was honey gold, and his left eye is black, and is wearing a plane black bracelet, as the boy was relaxing till the door was open by a kick from a boy a bit younger than the first boy, this boy was wearing a black shirt and dark navy blue jeans, but like the first boy his right eye was different it was blood red while his left eye was black like his hair, and was wearing a black bracelet with silver spikes on his left hand, and this boy was holding out a spoon with his right hand, as he looked around the room to see the first boy looking at him with tears in his eyes.
"Ow thank every single...something it was not a terrorist attack, but you ok Kazuto? Did you have the same dream?" The boy with the red eye asked the boy with the gold eye who's name is Kazuto, who nodded his head wiping away the tears in his eyes.
"Yeah for both questions Ray...hehe, man if only Asuna can see me now..." Kazuto whispered which the boy who had a red eye named Ray heard, who then looked sad, but shook his head.
"Come on man don't go emo on me now...come on breakfast is ready." Ray declared, which Kazuto nodded his head in a yes fashion, till a thought came to him.
"Hey...you thought that there was a terrorist attack right?" Kazuto asked Ray, who looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Yea? So?" Ray questioned, which Kazuto had deadplan face.
"So if what you thought what happened...well happened, then how would you fight with a spoon?" Kazuto questioned, which Ray froze and looked at his hand then back at Kazuto, then did the process again.
"Uhh..well you see...coming Sugu!" Ray called leaving the room quickly, making Kazuto laugh uncontrollably.
"She's practicing! So how can or would call you?" Kazuto called out standing up from his bed, till he heard some thump.
"Shut the Hell up Kazuto! I know my own stupid mistakes!" Nightmare yelled out loud, making Kazuto laugh harder, as he went down stairs.
*Outside in the backyard*
"Hmm...Now that I look me, Kazuto, and Ray do not look a lot..." A girl with green eyes and had black hair that was in a bob cut kind of style, while wearing some kendo clothing and has a green bracelet on her left arm looking into water, then the girl got into a stance and striked the air for a few minutes, till she heard some clapping.
"Nice work Sugu I can see you never stop practicing." Ray smiled while holding a Sprite, as Kazuto came outside with a bottle of water and threw it at Sugu, who juggled it a bit and sighed.
"Hehe, morning Sugu." Kazuto told the girl named Sugu, who pouted.
"Jeez, why could I not get a sister, I mean you two always gang up on me in situations..." Sugu muttered under her breath, as the brothers laughed, which Sugu sighed and sit down on the porch, while Kazuto gabbed her Kendo stick in wounder.
"It's light..." Kazuto muttered, surprising Sugu a bit, till she noticed a bump on his head that was swollen.
"Really? It is made out of a heavy bamboo..." Sugu complied, which Ray chuckled a bit.
"Not really, the doctor did say that everything about me and Kazuto has been advanced a bit." Ray replied, which Sugu nodded her head a bit.
"Right...by the way Kazuto, why do you have a bump on your head?" Sugu asked confused, which Kazuto just starred not having a clue about what to say, which made Ray laughed a lot, and making Sugu even more confused.
"Well you see Sugu...um...what happened was-" Kazuto started, but got interrupted by Ray who was smirking.
"I hit him in the head with a spoon!" Ray exclaimed laughing, which soon Sugu joined, while Kazuto kept his head down in shame.
"S-sorry Kazuto i-it was just to funny!" Sugu told Kazuto before laughing again non-stop, making Kazuto sigh, till a few minutes later.
"You two done? Cause I want to ask Sugu if she wanted to spar." Kazuto implied, making both Sugu and Ray freeze and looked at him shocked.
"You mean...a match?" Sugu questioned with surprise, with Ray who was shocked.
"Yea I still have grandpa's gear and all so why not?" Kazuto shrugged, making Sugu smile brightly.
"This is going to be interesting, maybe I'll join." Ray added, making Kazuto and Sugu shocked, as Ray smirked at their reactions.
"B-but...are you scared of grandpa?" Sugu asked a bit nervous, which Ray shrugged.
"He can't stop me now and you both know why, so I might join, good thing I sneaked the gear you guys got me for my birthday when we were little, otherwise I can't really do a match." Ray admitted, shocking Kazuto and Sugu again.
"You still got the gear?!" Kazuto almost yelled, which Ray nodded.
"Wait, then what did you give him in that garbage bag you gave him?" Sugu asked still shocked, making Ray smirk get bigger.
"I gave him a bag of garbage." Ray replied laughing, while Kazuto and Sugu were dumbfound, till they started laughing like no tomorrow.
"Ok! So you two get your gear on, and I'll see you guys in the dojo!" Sugu exclaimed with a smile, as Kazuto gave a nod.
*A few minutes later*
"Alright let's get this match on the road." Ray declared, as he wore a grey shirt, and black everything, as Kazuto just wore everything black.
"Ok, but hehe, what is with your fighting stance Kazuto?" Sugu asked looking at Kazuto's stance from Sword art Online, while Sugu was in her regular kendo stance.
"It is just my own style that is all." Kazuto replied with a smirk under his head gear, which Sugu gave a light glare.
'Weird this stance does not have any openings...' Sugu thought grimly.
"Alright...Begin!" Ray yelled, which after a few seconds Sugu charged with great speed and tried to land a strike, but Kazuto blocked the attack and tried to countered, as Sugu put up a good defense all the attack, which soon left into a struggle between swords, till they both striked, Sugu landing her kendo stick on Kazuto's head, while Kazuto landed his stick on Sugu's side, causing both to back off.
"Shit! Are you guys alright?!" Ray yelled running to both of them, as they trying to shake everything off.
"Yeah I'm ok, but I'm not sure about Kazuto..." Sugu claimed worried, as Kazuto shook his head.
"Yeah I'm fine..." Kazuto sighed putting the kendo stick behind his back, which confused Sugu, but Ray shook his head.
"Idiot..." Ray muttered under his breath, which Kazuto glared a bit.
"Um...are you ok?" Sugu asked worried, which shocked Kazuto.
"Y-yes! I'm one hundred percent ok!" Kazuto exclaimed, which caused Ray to roll his eyes at what Kazuto said, and got his head gear on.
"Ok so do I get a turn at this or, what?" Ray questioned with a hint of confusion.
"Oh uh yea, I just still shocked from whatever just happened." Sugu claimed, which Ray nodded his head in a understanding way.
"Yea I get it..." Ray replied making it to a really awkward atmosphere.
"So...are you two going to fight or...what?" Kazuto questioned with a raise eyebrow, getting Ray and Sugu out of the awkward situation.
"Yea...just don't really know what to do...since I never done this because of you know." Ray explained, making the cousins nod their heads.
"Yea, just get into a stance." Sugu told Ray, who was standing sideways holding his kendo stick forward with his right hand.
"There that ok?" Ray told Sugu, who was confused.
"'Second weird stance this day.' Sugu thought with wounder before getting into her stance, as Kazuto went to the middle.
"Alright...BEGIN!" Kazuto yelled, causing Ray to charge and striked, as Sugu barely blocked the attack and then tried to hit back, which Ray blocked or doge the attacks, with the same prodgress going on for a few minutes, both of them tried to finish the fight with one strike, which both Kendo sticks hit the target's shoulder.
"And another tie, huh better than losing, and pretty good for a beginner." Ray claimed, which Sugu and Kazuto nodded their heads.
"Yea, you both are natural's at this, well except that both of you don't really do Kendo." Sugu pointed out, which Ray and Kazuto rubbed the back of their heads.
"Yeah...let's go get some water huh?" Kazuto stated, which both Ray and Sugu nodded their heads.
*A few minutes later*
"Man I got to increase the skill level so I can fight better with my skills." Kazuto muttered under his breath like he was in a game, till he got hit in the head by Ray who was annoyed.
"Dude...real life not game, SAO is dead we should be more worried about what we will do next." Ray exclaimed, then got a sad look which he shook off.
"Hey you two ok?" Sugu asked concern, which both brothers nodded their heads.
"Yeah...you know your kendo was really impressive Sugu, might try it again." Kazuto exclaimed shocking Sugu, while Ray smiled.
"Really?!" Sugu yelled, which Kazuto nodded his head yes.
"You bet, and I won't mind having you teach me about kendo." Kazuto replied, which Sugu smile.
"Are you going to try kendo as well Ray?" Sugu asked hopefully, which Ray had a sad smile, which Kazuto recolonized.
"I would, but you know job..." Ray answered Sugu, who then looked a bit sad.
"Your job sucks..." Kazuto countered, making Ray roll his eyes.
"Yeah, but I need money for emergencies..." Ray pouted, causing Sugu and Kazuto to laugh at Ray's face.
"Alright, but promise that you will practice with us here." Sugu told Ray, who had a smirk on his face.
"Ok...but when you get a boyfriend...getting lunch later!" Ray called out, making Sugu frozen stiff, while Kazuto laughed, only to get smacked by Sugu.
"Ow!" Kazuto yelled rubbing his head, which Sugu walked away mumbling, which Kazuto followed, only to see Ray wearing a black long sleeve shirt which had grey sleeves, and is wearing blue Jeans, a black jacket made for winter, and black sneakers, and black fingerless gloves, a black belt, and his usual cross and bracelet.
"Um...were you going too Ray?" Sugu asked, which Ray looked sad.
"Hospital...tell Mi-mom that I'll be back." Ray exclaimed, which Sugu looked depressed, till she saw Kazuto dressed in all black, and wearing a black bracelet.
"Mind if I come with..." Kazuto asked, which Ray nodded his head.
"Ok be back later you two." Sugu told them, which they nodded their heads in understandment.
*On a train*
"So anything on your mind about the situation with the SAO players that are still asleep?" Kazuto asked, which Ray nodded his head.
"Yea, many of the players are from young and adults, and the main number is females, either in real life, or before their real gender was shown...but I have a idea where these players are...but I'm not sure why someone would do this." Ray answered, which Kazuto nodded his head.
"Well...I guess the person doing this is good chance of being male." Kazuto stated, making Ray laugh a bit.
"I guess so...good thing thing we know where the girls are thanks to that security guy." Ray declared, as Kazuto nodded his head with a frown.
"Yea...strange that they are both at a high fancy hospital..." Kazuto added, which Ray nodded his head.
"Of course...you met Asuna's father." Ray pointed out, causing Kazuto to pout.
"Yea...yea, what about Nijiki?" Kazuto asked, which Ray shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know...she said once that she only lives with her mother, and that she is not rich or wealthy, so she got a job." Ray answered, as the train stopped to show in front of them is a hospital.
"See you in awhile Kazuto." Ray told Kazuto before leaving, which Kazuto waved his hand.
"Alright." Kazuto replied, which Ray wave.
*Few minutes later with Ray*
"Here it is..." Ray thought sadly looking at the door in front of him, as he went inside he saw a girl with silver hair laying on a medic bed, with machines attached to her.
"Nijiki...your mom didn't came...I wish you were up now..." Ray muttered depressed looking around till he saw a sign outside which was see through, and it said...'do not enter', causing Ray to be shocked.
"Hey Sumeragi...do you think I will see my mother?" A voice from the other side of the door asked a question, which freaked Ray out which then turned to surprise at what he heard.
'Crap!' Ray thought, as he saw the door was about to open, which he open the door next to him, and open only a crack so he see what is outside.
"I don't know...we never saw here ever." Sumeragi claimed, who had blue hair and eyes, and is wearing a white shirt, jeans, coat, and white shoes, and next to him is a girl who is around 13 with silver, and purple eyes, and is wearing a silver long sleeve shirt, black leggings, and brown boots, and a black winter coat.
"Hmm...well I guess it's fine...as long as I get to see my sister it is fine, but I wish she was awake." The girl replied with tears about to come out, which Sumeragi kneeled down and whipped the tears off.
"Everything will be alright, she will wake up soon." Sumeragi told the girl, who nodded her head.
'I guess they really are sisters...shit I have to apologize to Sumeragi, and I don't want to since he was trying to kill me...wait I attack first.' Ray thought bitterly, till the door open again reveling a dirty blonde hair man, with grey color eyes, and is wearing a dark blue suit, and very pale skin.
"Hmm...? Ow Ash what are doing here?" The girl asked, which the man named Ash just gave a small smile.
"Ow you know just giving you the data about your sisters condition Rainbow." Ash told the girl named Rainbow.
"Really that nickname..." Rainbow sighed, which Sumeragi frowned, and Ash laughed.
'I think I heard that that name from somewhere...but where?' Ray thought to himself, till he looked at the room he was in, a bathroom.
"Shit...wait are those clean...?" Ray muttered to himself walking to the direction in the bathroom, while Sumeragi was looking around.
"Is something wrong Sumeragi?" Rainbow asked concern, which Sumeragi glared.
"I think someone is in here." Sumeragi declared, which shocked Rainbow and Ash, till the bathroom door open to reveal a doctor wearing a mask, and some shades, and is wearing a white cap, and white gloves.
"Ello...I didn't think someone was here..." The doctor spoke in a American voice, surprising the three.
"...uhh hello?" The three greeted, as the doctor nodded his head.
"Well since the...nurse took the condition's for Ms. Karatachi, and I'm done going to the restroom I will take my leave." The doctor claimed heading towards the door and left, which confused everyone, till a new doctor came with a happy smile.
"Ok I'm here to check on a Ms. Karatachi!" The doctor told the three of them, as their eyes widened, and Sumeragi ran to the door to find the previous doctor to only find nothing there.
"Dame it!" Sumeragi yelled.
*With Ray*
"Thank god I got out of there!" Ray exclaimed with a sigh, as he took of a doctor clothing off.
"I hope they were clean...(Buzzz...buzzz..)...my phone? Who is calling?" Ray muttered as he looked on his phone to see Kazuto's name. "Hello?" Ray answered.
"Ray...Asuna is...Asuna is..." Kazuto kept repeating on the other line.
"Dude...dude!" Ray yelled through the phone.
"Huh?! Right um...well Asuna...she is in a arranged marriage..." Kazuto told Ray.
"...Get home now...we will discuss this later." Ray told Kazuto, which unknown to Kazuto is that Ray punch a wall.
"Ok..." Was all Kazuto said before hanging up.
*A few hours later*
"Come on Kazuto it will be alright." Ray tried to tell Kazuto, who was crying.
"Kazuto...Ray...? Are you both alright?" Sugu asked, till she saw Kazuto crying making her gasp in shock.
"Sugu...he is in shock and fear of lost." Ray told Sugu, who's eyes widen in shock.
"W-what, come on Kazuto you got to be strong, then don't give up till the end." Sugu said, shocking Ray and Kazuto, who both felt happy.
"Heh, you have no idea how much that helped Sugu...thanks." Kazuto told Sugu, who smiled and gave Kazuto a hug, while Ray smiled and went into deep thought for a few minutes, till he saw both Kazuto and Sugu asleep.
"Oh boy...man, well can't leave them like that." Ray told himself, then put both Kazuto and Sugu in a laying down position, then put covers on both of them only to leave and head to his room, only to be stop when he saw Sugu's door wide open, and a case on the floor.
"Jeez, Sugu needs to clean more, what the...no ALO..." Ray muttered only to be shocked about what a case said in front of him, and a atmosphere.
"So...it is real, and Sugu plays it...did not see that coming, but I guess I can use my gift I got from work, and see if all that reading helped on transferring data!" Ray exclaimed closing the door to Sugu's room, and headed to his room, which the walls were painted black, a solid dark wooded bed that was in the back corner of the room with black sheets and a pillow, and a solid dark wooden floor, with a black rug in the middle, and a dark wooden dresser next to the door, and on the other side of the roomin the middle wall was a black wooden cabinet, holding a black tv, and with movies and video games in the cabinet, and right next to the bed was a computer desk and a black computer, and finally on the far left side of the tv was a white door, that leads to the closet.
"Home sweet home, well room I guess, better fix all the stuff I read about." Ray told himself, as he got a black chair out of the closet, and went under his bed to pull out 2 atmospheres, then went to his computer, with two nerve gears on the computer.
*In the morning*
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" A girl scream yelled waking Ray up, who just throw random punches at the air behind him.
"Who? What? Where?! Are we under attack by the animals, I knew animals would cause the next war!" Ray yelled, only to see nothing going on.
"Ow...just my imagination...well ok...(Bing)...who sent me a message? Agil...why?" Ray asked himself, until he gasp, and Kazuto ran into the room.
"Ray I got a mes-" Kazuto started, before Ray raised a hand.
"I know...but how or what is the cause..." Ray muttered, as a picture is on a computer, showing a fairy like Asuna and Rain.
"Yea..." Kazuto agreed.
"By the way who was screaming?" Ray asked, which Kazuto rubbed his head.
"Sugu...you know waking up-" Kazuto started, which Ray wave his hands.
"I got it, just don't continue..." Ray muttered leaving his room.
To Be Continued...
