"Right.. the important news," Asuna answered, awkwardly. Clinging her fingers together and letting it go. Doing it over and over again. "In the Otaku Gamers magazine, I found out a new game,"
Kirito looked curious. "What game?" He asked. His face, looking as curious as ever.
"It's called Electunai Online. For short, E.T.O. It was created by the Elect Company," Asuna replied. "I just thought I should tell you.. you know.. you liking games and all," She blushed.
"I have a copy of the game, if you want it.." She awkwardly looked around. Sweat dripped down her forehead. She sighed, softly.
"Of course!" Kirito said, smiling and blushing, scratching his head.
"Alright.. then.." Asuna said, handing a game box that read 'Electunai Online' to Kazuto. Blushing.
"Kir- I mean Kazuto, I told Rika-chan and the others about this game.. and I told them that I would tell you about it. Today, we are all going to log in at 19:00 and meet at the big bar. It's called Elect Ronic Bar. If you want to come.. I'd like tha-," Before Asuna could finish, she was stopped by an entrance by her friends, Silica-chan, Rika-chan and Ryoutarou-kun.
"Hey guys!" Ryoutarou (Klein) yelled. Waving to Kazuto and Asuna.
"Sorry to barge in.." Silica-chan said, softly.
"Hold on a second," Kazuto said to his friends.
He whispered into Asuna's ear. "I'd like that, very much. It's a date,"
Asuna blushed so much. Her face was very red.
"So. Why are you guys here?" Asuna asked, awkwardly, her face; still red as ever.
"Oh, we decided we would just come around to say hi," Rika-chan (Lisbeth) said. "We haven't hanged out like this in a long time,"
"You basically just barged in!" Asuna said, mad at her friends. (Not really). "I was having a conversation with Kazuto-kun,"
"Sorry.." Silica-chan said, a blush fell on her cheeks.
"So. Did you tell Kazuto about the new game?" Rika-chan asked.
"I know about it," Kazuto answered, holding up the game box to show his friends.
"Are you going to come and join us at the big bar, today?" Ryoutarou asked.
"You bet," Kazuto-kun replied, grinning, with a thumbs up to his friends.
"Great," Silica-chan said, smiling.
"Have you tried the game yet?" Kazuto asked.
"Yes, there is a log out button, so there's nothing to worry," Asuna answered, reassuring Kazuto.
"That's good, I don't want another incident.." Kazuto said.
Kazuto regretted that he said that. He knew that his friends tried to forget that event from their heads.
Asuna knew what was going on, she saw the silence and awkwardness that fell when Kazuto mentioned the.. incident.
She quickly changed the topic. "How about we go let Kirit- I mean Kazuto-kun go download the game, get use to the feeling,"
"Alright," Agreed the friends.
Kazuto mouthed "Arigato" to his girlfriend, Asuna.
Asuna mouthed back "No probem,"
Kazuto walked to the exit, stopping at the door and waving to Asuna. "See you at 19:00,"
"Yep. See you at 19:00," She answered, blushing and waving back to Kirito.
He left the bar and ran back to his house.
Always being sure to conserve his energy and trying not to be hit by cars.
After 10 minutes, Kazuto arrived back to his house, he was curious about this new game, especially what it was about.
He slid in the key, moved it to the left, then to the right, and pushed the door forward.
It opened.
He stepped in, feeling the nice, tempature. He felt good to be home. Kazuto slipped off his shoes, and walked up the stairs.
Kazuto passed by his sisters room, finding her with the nervegear. He smiled.
He arrived to his room. He sat down in his chair next to his computer.
Kazuto opened the game box that Asuna gave him.
He found a disk, he clicked a button and a disk player came out of the computer.
Kazuto put in the disk.
The computer screen read: "Accept to Terms of Use and click Download."
He scrolled to the bottom of the screen and clicked "Accepted."
It brought him to a page that had a button that said: "Download."
Kazuto clicked the "Download" button.
He found a streaming line, it was downloading.

"Please now connect the nervegear to the computer. After, put on the nervegear and say the two words: "Link Start," The computer said.
He followed the directions.
He layed down on his bed, getting into a comfortable position.
Kazuto put the nevegear on his head and exclaimed his two favorite words.
"Link Start!" Kazuto exclaimed.
Kazuto could see tons of colors, rainbows, everything. His adventure was about to begin.
"Please sign in," It read.
Kazuto put in his username and password.
He clicked enter.
"Welcome to Electunai Online!" It said.
A dark figured character stood in the middle. It was Kazuto.
He had black hair, black fingerless gloves, a black shirt and a black long coat.
"Please choose your race," The computer said.
Kazuto looked at the choices.
Unima- Players who specialize in healing and spells. Spell book comes with the beginner. Also comes with wizard staff.
Yuxia- Players who use archery to defeat their opponents. Comes with bow.
Paliek- Players who use swords, only. Comes with beginner sword.
Tunza- Players who make wizard staffs, other weapons, and sheilds that other players may buy/trade. Comes with tools.
He was interested with the 'Paliek' race. As he is comfortable with using swords.
Kazuto choose the 'Paliek' race.
It automatically brought Kazuto to a forrest, he was puzzled.
He found that he was being surrounded by monsters.
Kazuto grabbed the sword from his back. He got into his ready position.
"Go away, you filthy monster!" A girl yelled from the distance.
Kazuto wondered where that cry was coming from.
He ran, killing monsters along the way, the forrest growing deeper and deeper, darker and darker.
Kazuto spotted a girl, she was lying on the floor, the monster just about to stab her.
But he wouldn't let that happen.
Kazuto ran as fast as he never did before. He ran, and ran. He got into ready position, readied his sword and stabbed the monster.
The monster dissovled away into small pixels, and was gone.
Kazuto looked down at the girl.
But.. she was gone.
