A/N: HOLLOW FRAGMENT COMES OUT TODAY IN NORTH AMERICA (tomorrow in Europe)! YES! WHY DOES MY VITA GET HERE SATURDAY!? I COULD BE PLAYING THE GAME ALREADY! WHY IS FATE SO CRUEL (by fate I actually mean shipping speed...) AND IT COMES WITH A FREE DLC, GOD SHOOT ME NOW BEFORE I GO INSANE FROM WAITING! (Another rant, sorry.)
Finally got to write this on my laptop! Less grammar errors! I think…
"Would you care to tell us that story?" Kirito asked Sinon with an amused look on his face, hoping to get back at Klein from earlier.
"That would be a LONG story." Sinon said, still glaring at Klein.
"I-I couldn't help it!"
"Don't worry Sinon-san. You aren't the only one he's hit on." Asuna said as she looked at Klein briefly.
"S-Still couldn't help it…"
"You've hit on Asuna-san!?" Sinon and Keiko asked surprised as they looked at the salamander.
"This was in SAO! Before she was with even Kirito!" Klein said as he waved his hands as if to protect himself from the verbal on slaughter.
"How long is 'before'?" Sinon asked.
"About 3-4 days before they got married." Argo said nonchalantly.
"How do you even know that!?" Klein said in shock.
"Heard it from one of your guild members about how you got punched by Kirito seconds later." She said, making Kirito blush slightly and the other girls laugh.
"I'm still not sorry about that." Kirito said as he turned away slightly and looked at the wall.
"You should be! Then it doesn't help that the other from the guild didn't even try to help me…"
"They were probably used to it."
"Kirito-kun!"
"What!?"
"He's got a point." Sinon said.
"Sinon-san!?" Asuna said as she looked at Sinon, who was trying her best not to laugh and remain with a straight face.
"I can see Klein getting punched a lot. No, I KNOW he gets punched a lot." She said as she glared at him again.
"You're not going to let this go, are you?" Klein said.
"Most likely."
"D-Did you punch him?" Kirito asked, imagining it in his head.
"A couple times…" she said, making Kirito and Argo laugh.
"Sinon-san!"
"What? He had it coming after the tenth time he asked." She said, making silence ensue.
"…how many times did you ask?" Silica asked as she looked towards Klein.
"I can't give you an accurate number… more than 25?" he said with a nervous smile, making Kirito facepalm.
"You should have learned from the first time you asked." Sinon said as she crossed her arms.
"You're so mean Sinon-chan…"
"Do you want another punch?"
"N-No ma'am." He said as he drank from his drink instead, making everyone laugh.
"Kirito-san, why did you punch Klein-san and not just cover his mouth?" Silica asked.
"Um… to tell truth I wasn't even thinking and just punched first…" he said as he rubbed the back of his head, careful not to move Yui who was still on the top of his head.
"You don't even think about hurting me, you just do it!?"
"I just reacted before I even knew it! I was even surprised I did that!" Kirito said to defend himself.
"You couldn't react in a less violent way!?"
"Apparently not!"
"Do you guys need to go outside to continue this argument?" Asuna said with one of her eyebrow raised. Kirito was about to say 'no' but Klein had other ideas. The Salamander quickly grabbed the collar of the Spriggan's coat and began to pull him towards the door.
"W-Wait! Klein, what are you doing!? Klein!? KLEIN!?" he said before Yui flew off his head and the door closed shut.
"Good luck!" Argo said with her usual smile and a wave.
"Should we be worried?" Asuna asked as she held her hands out and Yui landed in them, sitting down on them.
"Nope. Just let him get killed a couple thousand times and it'll be alright." Sinon said as she leaned back into the sofa and uncrossed her arms.
"T-Thousand!? I-Isn't that a bit too much Sinon-san!?"
"Not enough if you ask me…" she said, making Silica laugh nervously.
"See? Someone can relate!" Argo said as she threw her arm around Sinon's shoulder. Asuna quickly covered her forehead with her hand and sighed.
"I'm surprised Kirito-kun had been able to live with Suguha-chan without doing something that would kill him considering how he acts with us."
"Us? He doesn't mess with us as much as he messes with you."
"T-That's not true…"
"But Mama, weren't you telling me earlier about-"
"Okay! I think that's enough Yui-chan!" Asuna said, making a gesture to be quiet to her daughter. Yui nodded immediately after understanding what her mother was getting at. Since Argo was with them, they knew that saying that out load wouldn't be the best of decisions.
"So close to getting more information to blackmail Kii-bou with…" Argo said as she sighed.
"Blackmail? What do you have?" Sinon asked her interest in the topic increasing.
"What don't I have!? I could tell you a story about the 22nd floor when it was just released in old Aincrad." Argo said, making Asuna remember what Kirito had told her about the trees.
"How much?" Asuna asked.
"For you Asu-chan, free!" she said, making everyone laugh.
"K-Kirito-san wasn't kidding when he said that you gave info to Asuna-san for free and charged him." Silica said, laughing.
"Since Asu-chan doesn't do stupid things constantly like he does, she's my favorite of the two lovebirds. Anyway, you guys want to hear this story?" Argo asked and received nods in return.
"Okay, this is firsthand knowledge just so you know. It had been maybe a day after the floor had been opened. The floor was covered everywhere with trees and lakes. I was around doing research on the monster spawning zones for that floor when I saw Kii-bou looking up at a tree. I was curious as to what he was doing so I crept up a bit closer to get a better look. Next thing I know, Kii-bou is clinging to the tree and starts moving up it! He was climbing all the way to the top; ignoring the distance he was putting making with the ground and just kept on climbing! When he finally reached the top, I could see a popup window appear and he was so shocked by it popping out of nowhere, he just let go of the tree and fell! He probably would have died if he didn't pull out a teleport crystal in time!" she said, making everyone laugh.
A/N: Hope there are less mistakes in here then there were in the last few chapter… Anyway, thanks to all of those people that reviewed! (Still haven't fixed my email…) You guys are still wonderful! Now I'm going to go lay down… This little author isn't feeling well… (DYING)
