After the embarrassment that they went through, the Undine and the Spriggan quickly flew to Yggdrasil City. The couple landed on the edge of the city and began to walk to Lisbeth's shop, hand in hand.
"Hey Asuna, what do you think the surprise for you is?" Kirito asked her.
"Hmm, knowing Liz it could be anything... I'm just going to hope it isn't scary." Asuna replied, shuddering at the thought. Kirito smile and tightened his grip on Asuna's hand slightly.
"If that happens, I'll be there to comfort you." Kirito said to her. She smiled at his words.
"Aw, Kirito-kun. That deserves a kiss." she said as she planted her lips on his cheek. Kirito's face turned red at the sudden affection, and he looked away as they continued walking.
Normally the city would be filled with a lot of players of all of the races, but today the street were empty, empty enough to be noticed by them.
"Where do you think everyone is?" Asuna asked Kirito.
"I don't know, maybe an event that we don't know about is happening?" he asked before they were surprised by the beaten form of Recon landing from the sky. He had fallen just in front of them, HP low and virtual blood on his torso from whatever had hurt him. Recon opened his eyes and saw Kirito and Asuna in from of him.
"Kirito! You have to help me! She's your sister, so you can stop her!" he said before he scrambled to his feet and began to run away as fast as his agility stats let him.
'Sister? Lyfa did that to him!? What did he do to deserve that!?' both Kirito and Asuna wondered upon hearing Recon's words. Before either of them could ask one another what they thought happened between those two, Lyfa finally made her way into this strange scene.
"RECON, GET BACK HERE!" Lyfa screamed at the running Sylph after landing some feet from the couple. The face Lyfa had on was one Kirito had seen before, it was a mix of anger and embarrassment.
'Last time I saw a person with a face like that, it was when that incident with Asuna happened at the teleportation gate on floor 74…' Kirito thought as Lyfa was about to pull out her sword from its sheath, until she saw them. A surprised look overcame Lyfa's face as she spotted Kirito and Asuna.
"Lyfa-chan, what did he do to you that you feel the need to hurt him?" Asuna asked before Kirito could. The look Lyfa previously had returned, and her hand took place on her sword hilt again.
"I'll explain it AFTER I kill him!" Lyfa said as she ran to chase after Recon. Kirito quickly wrapped his arms around Lyfa's shoulders to stop her, taking her sword away and throwing it to Asuna who caught it agilely.
"No! Let go of me, Onii-chan! Recon has to be punished!" Lyfa kept on screaming while kicking in Kirito's arms. Kirito looked to Asuna in hope of answers but all he got in response was a shrug. He sighed and they now dragged Lyfa with them to Lisbeth's Arms Shop, in hope of some answers. As they walked into the store, they were quickly greeted by Liz.
"Hey Asuna, Kirito. I ju-" Liz stopped talking as she saw the annoyed girl in Kirito's arms.
"Uh Liz, do you think you could help us so that Lyfa-chan could tell us what happened between her and Recon?" Asuna asked her best friend. Even though she was somewhat confused by the situation, Liz agreed nonetheless.
'Oh god, what new drama did they bring to my store!?' Liz thought as Kirito and Asuna dragged Lyfa deeper into the blacksmith shop.
Liz took the small stool she kept in the corner and placed it in the middle of the shop. Kirito then placed Lyfa on the stool. She now only had a pout on her face with a tint of pink on her cheeks and her eyebrows furrowed.
'I wonder what Recon did that made Lyfa-chan that way?' Asuna thought to herself before they begun to question Lyfa. 'I know that Kirito-kun has done many things to get me angry, but not enough to want to kill him.'
"Are you going to explain what happened?" Kirito asked the young Sylph. Lyfa looked down to the floor of the blacksmith shop, apparently now interested in the stone underneath her. Asuna finally took into notice Lyfa's actions, the way she looked away from a person's gaze with a shade of red on her face… she was embarrassed. Asuna recognized those things from when Kirito was like that.
"Um... It's just that Recon... Ugh, I'm going to strangle him when I see him!" Lyfa said as she shot up from the stool. Asuna and Liz quickly put a hand on one of Lyfa's shoulders, pushing her back in her previous sitting position in the stool. Asuna crouched down to see Lyfa, face to face.
"Lyfa-chan, maybe we can help you. Just tell us what happened and maybe we can do something about it." Asuna told the younger girl. Lyfa's gaze switched between the three of them and sighed in surrender.
"Recon and I… we were in the neutral territory near Sylvain, just fighting against some mobs since we were trying to improve his fighting skills. Recon finally managed to defeat a high leveled one without any help and..." she looked to the floor again before continuing with her tale,"... he… flew up to me and kissed me..."
"..."
The three, Asuna, Kirito, and Lisbeth, didn't know how to respond to what she had said. Kirito was the first to break the silence in the shop. Unfortunately, it was with laughter. Lyfa hid her face in her hands upon his reaction. Liz turned her face away from Lyfa, and she covered her mouth with her hands to hide her growing smile. Asuna was the only one that didn't react in an offending way, at least not on the outside. Internally, she was exactly like Kirito.
"Lyfa-chan, I know EXACTLY how you feel." she turned to look at Kirito, "your brother does those types of things a bit more then I would like as well." She finished and saw the sheepish smile he gave her before looking away, with sudden interest in the wall. Lyfa finally took her hands away from her face to look at Asuna.
"Then what should I do? I'm confused as to what is going to happen with our friendship, Asuna-san." Lyfa asked with a pleading face, wanting an answer desperately. To this, Liz surprisingly answered.
"It's simple Lyfa; you just have to talk to each other about your emotions."
"E-EMOTIONS!? W-WHAT EMOTIONS!? WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT EMOTIONS!?"
Kirito chuckled as he saw Lyfa get hysterical at Liz's response. Asuna elbowed him slightly, not wanting him to be rude in his sister's intense moment of panic. He spoke up after the jab to his side.
"Look, didn't you already know about how he felt? It's no surprise that he did that, it would have happened eventually. Wait, this explains why you're embarrassed but that's not really enough to kill him… did something else happen?"
A/N: I seriously couldn't resist writing this. Once again, sorry about any OOCness, grammar errors… you know what I mean. Till next week!
