Hey everybody, I know I said the last one would be it, then I realized the chapter really sucked. So I'm gonna turn on my peaceful music and go to dreamland. If you want to know what I listen to, to help me with my writing it's: Startear, from SAO for peaceful and nice scenes. I listen to anything by dj-jo for any action scenes.

Yuu's POV
The guild was out grinding. We were on the snowy mountains of Floor 30. We were doing just fine until a whole storm of -Snow Demons- spawned all at the same time, we were driven to the edge of the cliff, and the piece of ice we were standing on broke off. We were all send tumbling down the mountain, Shizuyo used -Passive Skill- =Air Step= to try to pick up as many of as possible. I used -Passive Skill- =Airborne= to stay above the snow, sliding across it to grab as many as I could. Shizuyo and I did a recount and found we were missing Seiko.
Just then I saw a hand sticking out of the landslide. Without thinking I triggered -Passive Skill- =Airborne= to get to her. I grabbed her hand and tried sliding back to the others, but just then, a chunk of mountain hit me in the back of the head and we both fell into a 20 feet wide 160 feet deep circular hole. I recollected myself while we were falling, I unsheathed my sword and stabbed it into the wall of the hole. They sword kept us in a controlled state, but we were still nearing the ground way too fast, I took out my dagger and stabbed it into the wall as well, stopping us 10 feet from the cold, hard ground.
Seiko jumped down first, then I released my blades and landed on the ground below.
"How are we supposed to get out of here?"
"I don't know Yuusuke, maybe the others will think of something."
Shizuyo's POV
"Anybody have any ideas to get them out of that hole?"
"Nope."
"Not at all."
"Let them figure it out."
"Too much work."
"My brain hurts! I'm not used to thinking! Yuu-sensei help me!
I sighed. Why did Yuu's party have to be full of idiots. "Dairo, Cilia, Ayako, Kyoko, Itsuki, Katsuo, any ideas?"
Dairo: Not one.
Cilia: None of us have a rope related tool either.
Ayako: I-I hope they'll be ok down there.
Kyoko: Let them take care of it.
Itsuki: Tell them to run up the wall.
Katsuo: You idiot, that will never work. Yuu has a sword and a dagger, tell him to use them as climbing tools.
I face-palmed. Goodbye Yuu and Sai. It was nice knowing you.
Seiko's POV
"They should be telling us what to do in just a minute, any time now."
"Seiko, give it up, you know us and Shizuyo are the only ones that know more than just battle."
"Are you saying we give up?"
"No, I'm saying, let me sit down with a cup of tea and think." He literally sat down, pulled out a cup and pitcher, and having his afternoon tea.
"You're seriously having tea at a time like this?! Did you ever stop to think we're losing the time in our lives in the real world too?"
"Seiko, I enjoy living here more than I do in real life. My parents died in a DNA experiment accident and my grandparents keep me around hoping I'll earn them a living when I'm older. I've lost a year and 3 quarters of my life in this game, but it's still the best time of my life."
I thought about it for a moment. Does he really enjoy living here more than real life? "If you enjoy living here so much, then why do you go out of your way to get everyone out of the game?"
"That's easy, so you guys can go back to your lives, I'm sure your folks are worried about you, and maybe, just maybe, we can have real talks with each other in the real world some day." He looked to the sky while saying this, slightly raising his hand as if reaching out to something. He continued.
"I still believe there's something out there for me, and what I told you that first night, that's still true. You've given me a reason to survive this game, so I can finally meet you." He looked back to me and gave a smile.
"What I said that night is still true too, if you hadn't been there for me all those times, I could've died so many times over, but I have another question. Why do you want to meet us in the real world? Isn't meeting us in here just as real?"
"Good question. I want to meet everyone on the other side, because, then I don't have to worry so much about losing you."
This brought a tear to my eye. Even though he put on this whole front to make everyone see him as the fearless leader, he still is afraid of losing any of us.
"Well Seiko, enough talking, we need to set up camp for now."
"Yeah, you're right." I said brushing a tear from my eye.
We set up camp and then we tried a bunch of different stuff to try to get out. After a while, we gave up and laid down in our sleeping bags.
"Hey Seiko."
"Yeah Yuusuke?"
"Can I say something weird, maybe just this once?"
"Of course you can, hearing Yuusuke the Top Player say something weird is a once in a lifetime opportunity."
"Ok...I...I think I'm falling in love with you." My heart felt so warm and fuzzy, I held in an urge to squeal.
"Oh, um, I think I'm falling in love with too." I actually said it! Point Seiko!
"Wow. I feel so relieved to finally tell you." He rolled over to face me.
"I've been trying to tell you for a while too. When did you fall for me?"
"To be honest, I think it was 1 and 3 quarters years ago, on a night just like this. When I told you, you are the reason I want to keep on living. When did you fall for me?"
"1 and 3 quarters years ago, on a night just like this. When I told you, I couldn't survive without you. I love you Yuusuke."
"I love you too Seiko." We both outstretched our arms and held hands in the space between us.
"Good night Yuusuke."
"Good night Seiko."
I bet you've been waiting forever for that one huh? Good enough to let it slide for the next few day? I think so. Please leave a review or PM me any questions. I am still taking character recommendations so if you want to send a character my way, I might just install them into the story. That was me ending on a good note. For now, TheDemiGeek, Out!
