Cold. That's all Kazuto felt in the atmosphere at her arrival.
He couldn't move, he couldn't speak….hell he didn't even know if he was breathing correctly. The atmosphere around him felt so cold, it was mild just a minute ago but now…..
"What's wrong Kirito?" Asuna asked letting him go and moved herself in front of him with a smile on her lips. "*Giggle**you're acting like you've seen a ghost."
Hearing her voice, Kazuto eyes widened in response as he quickly flipped himself over the couch. Standing up he glared at his opposite while making sure he was nowhere near her.
"What are you doing here Asuna?" he asked with a harsh tone.
"Oh well let's see, I was just walking by this nice neighborhood when I bumped into—" She was cut off as Kazuto rushed towards her and held her by shoulders against the wall.
"Why do you know where I live!? How did you know where I live!?" he shouted with rage in his voice. He wasn't angry that he found her, well he was mostly angry at the fact that now his mother and sister were in danger.
"*Sigh* straight to the point as always aren't you Kirito." She stated still smiling at the boy before her. "Well I could've easily just looked up through your hospital records and find out where you live but that would be no fun. Tell me, have you been hearing any voices in your head lately?"
"Voices?"
Kazuto stared at her with confusion in his eyes before he perked up at remembering the voice from this morning. That voice from earlier…..
"It was you wasn't it, I've been hearing your voice inside my head." He asked in a neutral tone, his answer received as the chestnut let out soft giggles.
"Guilty as charged." She answered giving him a wink.
"How?" he asked in anger.
"Now Kirito, no need to be hostile towards me. I'm only here to talk not fight. You let me say my piece and I'll be on my way…unless you don't want me to leave so soon?" she stated, teasing him at the end. Kazuto was about to say something else until he felt a burning sensation in his right eye.
BA-BUMP
"Agh!" he yelped letting go of Asuna's shoulders and collapsed to floor. He clutched his right eye with his right hand using his left to keep himself steady, panting a little as the burning sensation continued to function.
Seeing this, Asuna collapsed to her knees and was about to help him but once he turned to look at her he quickly backed up and gave a glare.
"Don't touch me…..Agh!" he said before shouting in pain once more. Whatever was going on with him, it was preventing him from doing anything other than clutch his right eye as the pain stimulated through it. Asuna then removed his hand before placing her own over his eye and started whispering some words but Kazuto could not hear her.
A moment later, Asuna slowly removed her hand from his closed right eye as she sat Indian style and smile at him.
"It stopped. You can relax now." She said softly. Kazuto didn't know why but the way her voice sounded, it sounded so gentle and sweet, like he could trust her even though every ounce of will within him was telling him no…but he did. He opened his right eye and practiced blinking with it before letting it function normally and sitting himself upwards.
Turning his head over to a smiling Asuna, he blinked at her twice and looked at her in awe. "What….What was that….what did you do?"
"Patience Kirito, all of your questions will be answered tonight. Right now, I will answer your current question about the voices in your head." She says wagging her finger side to side as if he did a bad thing causing him to deadpan at her.
'Seriously.'
"As for why you've been hearing my voice in your head is because of two things. One is that our bloods combined together and the other is you being a phantom."
"Phantom?" he asked as tilting his head a bit.
"One of the many groups of people that were born with unique powers."
"Wait….powers as in like super powers and crap?" he asked skeptically.
"Mmhm." She answered.
"I don't believe you." he said doubtfully.
"I figured as much but tell me Kirito…..do you really not believe it?"
"I..I.." he stuttered and paused once he started thinking about it. Looking at his past actions, the rough mornings when he felt that darkness inside him surge through his veins, or when he had psychological episodes with or without others around it…it was starting to make a bit of sense.
"I don't know." He answered as he gazed down into his lap and Asuna took this opportunity to stand in front of him, bent down and cupped his face, gazing into his eyes.
"Kirito, trust when I tell you this. You're not the only Phantom here, there are others like you out there. Then again, there were not that many phantoms left to begin with."
"What are you talking about?" he asked in confusion only for her to shake her head.
"I will tell you later tonight."
"But you didn't really tell me anything."
"I know that's why I like keeping it a secret." She giggled at him while he looked at her with a deadpan expression.
"How have I been able to put up with this woman for the past 2 years, oh right because no one else would! *sigh* either way, I've got to figure out how to keep my friends and family out of this...I don't want them to get caught in my problem." He thought grimly. The last thing he wanted was to get them hurt because of him. He knows that Asuna met them all once but that was it, there were no more encounters other than that or when he got stabbed by her a few months ago.
"Anyway, Kirito I think it's time for you rest. I'm sure your battle with Sinonon took a lot out of you." she stated as his eyes widened in shock. She knew about the sniper/emotionless girl that tried to kill him back at the hospital.
Before he could say anything, his eyes felt heavy and he fell forward as Asuna pressed her index and middle fingers against his forehead. Catching her opposite, she gently placed his head on a pillow against the arm of the sofa.
Brushing away his bangs with her fingers, she gave him a small kiss to his forehead while gazing at him lovingly.
"Sweet dreams, Kirito." She whispered before standing up walking out of the living room and to the steps. Quickly putting on her shoes, she went out the front door taking one last gaze at the place. "I wonder what his room looks like." She thought leaving the area walking to the right side of the street knowing that Midori will come from the opposite direction.
About 10 minutes later, Midori's car arrived back at the household and stopped in front of the driveway as Suguha quickly got out of the car with the others behind leaving a confused mother.
"Kazuto!" she shouted frantically looking around before running into the living room guessing that he would be in there. Spotting him on the sofa and thinking that something happened, her eyes widened in fear as she kneeled and started shaking her brother. "Kazuto! wake up, wake up!
Hearing his sister, Kazuto blinked once or twice before groaning and looked to his left at Suguha. "Sugu?" he called out as he sat up and rubbed his eyes with his right hand. "Not so loud."
"*Sigh* Thank goodness you're okay." She said before embracing him as the others came in worried as well.
"What are you all doing here?" he asked in a confused tone.
"Oh Kirito, you would not believe the experience we had today at the flower park in Ashikaga. It was insane." Strea exclaimed. Kazuto looked at her still confused on what had happened, as she was about to start talking again Midori came in the room.
"What's going on, is everything okay?" he was about to answer but Suguha spoke first cutting him off.
"Yeah mom everything's okay." She said giving her mother a fake smile. Sachi was about to speak until Kotone quickly shook her head and motioned her eyes toward Midori giving Sachi the unspeakable message.
Sachi looked at her in confusion before quickly realizing the situation and let out a fake smile as did Strea. "Yes Miss kirigaya everything is okay."
Midori looked at them skeptically wondering if there was something wrong. Her daughter basically shouted in her phone and car to quickly come back home to check up on her brother. Thinking it was a sibling thing, the mother just sighed to herself before speaking.
"Okay but please don't scream in my ear the next time I pick you up." She complied while rubbing her right ear. The others looked at Suguha who gave her mother a sheepish expression before looking at Kazuto with stern eyes.
"We'll talk later." She whispered as he nodded his head, still confused on what had happened.
Somewhere in secluded part of the suburbs far from any building, there was an abandoned house with its windows boarded up. Asuna walked up to this house and onto the walkway before stopping and looked behind herself. Making sure that no one was seeing her, she continued walking to the house only for her body to disappear through an invisible force field surrounding the area.
On the outside it was dull but, on the inside it was clean. The house was a three-story building with five windows in view. Two on the first and second floor, and one in the middle on top.
As she walked in the house she was greeted with the view of the living room to her right as she saw Rika on the couch holding Keiko close as the little girl was curled into her lap frowning. Shino sitting near the backdoor with a curious expression on her face as she was fixing her sniper rifle.
"I'm home." she announced as she heard footsteps coming from ahead of her. UP at the stairs, there was a little girl with long dark hair and bright black eyes racing towards Asuna.
"Mommy!" she shouted as she ran into Asuna's arms and hugged her tightly.
"Nice to see you Yui. Did you give Yuuki any trouble?" she said as the younger girl just shook her negatively.
"Nope, I was good girl and stayed out of trouble, just like you wanted me to." Yui says as the chestnut patted her head gently.
"That's good."
"Did you see daddy, how is he? Is he okay? Sinon wouldn't tell me anything?" she asked in rapid fire before pouting at her last question.
"He's doing well…..but that depends on what Sinonon tells me since she was the one who met him today." Asuna looked up at the silent sniper who raised her head at the nickname and looked at them with a blank expression before shrugging her shoulders and went back to her previous activity.
"I thought I told you not to call me that." She mumbled but the chestnut still heard her and giggled at her friend's reply. Asuna then turned to Rika and Keiko and notice the frown on both of their faces. She felt Yui tug her skirt and looked down at her as she also gave the older girl a frown.
"Keiko-nii's sad. She's not talking, and she looks so empty. Yuuki-san tried to get her to talk earlier but Rika-san gave her an angry look and told her what she told me, but her voice was more…hostile." Yui explained gazing sadly at her friends.
"They've been like that ever since they came back." Both heads turned to see a girl with long purple hair that reached down to her back wearing a purple t-shirt and shorts walking barefoot up to them. "I tried to get something out of them only to get yelled at by Liz."
"Don't worry Yuuki, you know Lis is very protective of her and she'll act out of line if anything involves Keiko." Asuna reassured her.
Yuuki sighed to herself before frowning. "I know I know."
"How about this….." Asuna started before calling out to the other two. "Keiko, Liz could you both come here for a second."
Rika looked up hearing her name called and saw that Asuna was home, she didn't even notice that she was here already. She looked down at Keiko who was still unresponsive but seemed to hear her name as she noticed a small hint of movement in her eyes.
Rika slowly stood up along Keiko taking ahold of her hand before walking over to the three.
"Yuuki, why don't you take Yui and Keiko outback and watch over them while they play okay?" she said as the other girl nodded before taking both hands of the petite girls.
"Alright you two, let's go have some fun." Yuuki shouted with enthusiasm as she led both girls to the back, one giggling while the other was unresponsive. As soon as they were out of sight, Asuna turned her to Rika with a hardened gaze as the other girl gave her a glare of her own.
Shino looked up sensing the tension between the two and stopped working on her rifle.
"Liz…did you yell at-?" she was cut off as Rika interrupted her.
"No…..I didn't, I would never yell at your daughter. I know that she and Yuuki were only trying to help but I was on edge because of what happened at the park…it was right before we left." She said as her expression changed into a frown.
"What happened?" Asuna asked her but receive no answer as Rika decided to answer her question with a question.
"What's the one thing Keiko hates being called the most?" Asuna looked at her with a puzzled expression before it changed into anger. She connected the dots and quickly understood why the beast tamer was so down.
"She was called unstable."
"Hai. I didn't realize it until I picked her up, she spoke in a cold tone and was focused on killing the twins. Once I snapped her out of it, she became upset and apologized before clinging to me." Rika explained biting her lip in anger as her eyes flickered from her normal brown into dark pink. Her aura was also leaking until Asuna placed a hand on her arm, calming the blacksmith down.
"You know it's not your fault she's like that. She was seen and treated as a mascot by everyone…and not as her own person. If you hadn't saved her back then, she could've turned out a lot worse." The chestnut reassured her only to receive a sigh in return.
"I know." Rika replied clutching Asuna's hand with her own before leaning her head on the chestnut's shoulder. Neither saying anything else, Sinon chose this time to speak up and excuse herself from her rifle.
"I hate to interrupt but I believe we need to discuss our reports on Kazuto and his friends." She reminded to the two as they nodded their heads.
"Right." Asuna started before turning to Rika who was looking at the back door with a frown on her face. "Don't worry about Keiko, when she's feeling better I'll ask her." she reassured her as Rika nodded her head gratefully.
"Now….tell me everything that happened with your encounters." She said in a stern tone as they all sat down and proceeded to talk about the events from earlier.
It was about nighttime as Kazuto was in his room laying on the bed staring at the ceiling deep in thought. His talk with Asuna left him puzzled and confused. She knew about his fight with that sniper he met and not only that but she also tells him about the power's he been given. And his eye, when the black veins were threatening to take over again she simply stopped it with ease as if she's done it before.
And the whole time she was talking with him…..her sadistic side was kept in check and not once come on to him, not to mention she was gentle with him. He knew that she would always switch personas every now and then but her actions were confusing him.
"What is going on?" he asked himself with a hint of frustration in his tone. The door slipped open and in came Sugu as she sat on the bed gazing at her brother with worried eyes. He could tell that she wanted to talk to him about today but didn't know where to start.
"Oni-chan."
"Yeah?"
"It happened again didn't it?" she asked him, earning a confused look. "You almost lost control of yourself?"
Kazuto gaze remain unfazed but inwardly he was slightly shocked that she somehow knew that his phantom side did indeed come back. Instead of telling her about it he decided to lie, he didn't want her to be involve in whatever Asuna had planned for him. Unfortunately for him, his friends already knew about it.
"Well….no I didn't exactly lose control. I just had a slight-" he started out but was cut off as Sugu lifted herself up and straddled him, leaning her entire body down as her mounds touched his chest and her face leaning into his, both of their noses almost touching, gazing into his eyes with a glare.
"Oni-chan. Don't lie to me. Not again…..you already tried to hide your cuts from me and mom….don't do it again." She said.
"*Sigh* I'm sorry Imouto….I'm just….it's that….I have no idea how to explain what happened at the hospital and I'm not sure if you would believe me or not." He apologized.
Suguha had a pretty good idea what he was talking about. She remembers seeing him in a vision with half of his body covered in black markings and fighting another girl that had the same markings as him…it scared her. And knowing the person her brother is, he would keep it to himself to not worry her or their mother.
"Try me." She challenged him as she stared into his eyes with a defiant look. She wasn't going to let him do something stupid or dangerous on his own without talking to someone.
And for the next five minutes, Kazuto explained the events of what had happened at the hospital. He talked about meeting Sinon in the therapy room before they moved all the way down to the garage and then outside.
"When I went outside I noticed that the atmosphere felt dull or more like dead. Dead Trees, gray sky, empty world, I was the only one there. Sinon then came and said that her friends were dealing with you guys, the way she said set something off in me and I….." he paused remembering Sinon's words. As he did his veins started becoming dark again and this time it was reaching to his face.
Suddenly he felt Suguha wrap her arms around him and lay her chin on his right shoulder.
"Kazuto, calm down." She whispered softly as the black veins retracted from his arms back to into his clothes but the ones around his face remained. Lifting her head Suguha cupped her brother's cheeks and forced him to turn to her and she couldn't help but frown at the sight in front of her.
"It's getting worse." She thought to herself. "Kazuto is that what happened?"
"Yeah. I don't know if you believe me or not but it's the truth. What I saw back there wasn't even close to logic, it was all like….like…."
"Something impossible to explain right?"
"Yeah."
"Well Kazuto….as crazy as it sounds….." she started as her brother closed his eyes already knowing that his sister would think that he was in denial or had another episode and was trapped in his own hauntings, only the words that came out of her mouth completely caught him by surprise.
"I believe you." she said in a soft tone as he opened his eyes.
"W-what?"
"Hai. You weren't the only one who had a crazy day, the same thing happened with Kotone, Strea, Sachi and me. At first I thought it was some type of illusion or my mind playing tricks on me but…." She paused as she looked away as if she was trying to say something.
"Oni-chan….it's all real." She let go of him before releasing his cheeks and turned around. He was about to ask her if something was wrong until she saw her grip the hem of her shirt and pulled it upwards over her head revealing her lingerie.
"S-S-Sugu w-what are you doing!?" he asked looking away from her body trying really hard to not look at her like that with his face flustered as his sister suddenly taking off her shirt. With her back to him, Suguha let out a soft smile knowing that her brother is embarrassed and felt him shift telling her that he was trying to avoid looking at her like that.
"It's okay to look." She said as she turned back around to face him, seeing him close his eyes shut. Opening his eyes slowly…Kazuto slowly looked at his sister's bare back and notice a tattoo on her back with the sylph logo up top.
"Uh…sis?"
"Oh, hang on." Sugu said. Later the tattoo glowed a bright green before sprouting fairy wings from her back.
"Whoa." Kazuto said in awe. Her wings looked as real as the ones in virtual reality. As he touched her wings, Sugu instantly stiffed forward and let out a moan confusing him.
"Oni-chan…" she said slowly turning herself towards him with pink cheeks. "I'm sensitive right there."
It took a few seconds but once it realization hit him he instantly turned red and let out a small surprised yelp before falling to the floor.
"Ow." Rubbing his head, he looked up at Sugu before he started apologizing. "Sugu, I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that! I didn't think it would affect you like that and I was just curious because they looked mmph!" He was talking so much in a panic that he didn't even notice her right in front of him and pressed a finger to his lips.
"It's…okay. It caught me off guard too but… as long as its you… I don't mind." She replied with the blush still present on her cheeks. However it did not last long as her expression morphed into a serious one.
"Kazuto…what happened at the park today... it was real. All four of us split in the beginning but we were pulled into a dimension separate from the real one facing off against someone." She started off while her brother listened closely to every word she said.
"She was caught in one too?" He asked mentally.
"Kazuto, do you know two girls named Rika and Keiko?" she asked him only for him to shake his head negatively. She then realized that she told him their real names instead of the avatar names, thinking that he knows the avatar names she asked him again.
"What about Silica and Lisbeth?" She knew that he recognized those names when she saw his eyes widened. "So you do."
"Yeah but I've only met them both once. Lisbeth was a blacksmith that crafted a sword for me a long time ago. Before that I met Silica when she lost her friend named…..um….Pita….no….Pina and we went to revive her before going our separate ways." He explained remembering his memories of the two. "Why do you ask?"
"Because they were the ones who attacked us." She answered making his eyes widened in shock.
"What?"
"Mmhm. Rika went after me and Kotone while Keiko took Strea and Sachi." She stated.
"Wait why would they attack you?"
"We…don't know. All Rika said was that she was testing out some type of cube she had floating in the sky. Whatever it was it somehow gave her the ability to summon a weapon and not just that. She was also able to use magic with her weapon." Suguha explained catching Kazuto off guard.
He had an idea about the weapon summoning since Sinon did the same thing to him with her throwing needles and, he saw her hair and eyes change color, but he doubt that magic was a part of this situation.
"Magic? Like Hocus Pocus and Abbacadabra?" he asked skeptically.
Suguha raised her hand and flicked her finger against his forehead.
"Not that kind of magic you dummy. I mean magic from Alfhiem Online, and she used Salamander magic but that can't be right." She said as she gazed down at her lap narrowing her eyes.
"Something wrong?" Kazuto asked noticing her frown.
"It's just when I went part Sylph, I felt something weird within me. I didn't think much about this in battle but bringing it up now makes me wonder what we're dealing with."
"Explain."
"Her race is a Leprechaun, but she was using Salamander magic, she shouldn't be able to use magic at all." She stated as her brother gave her a confused look before blinking twice as he remembered what she was talking about. "Catching up?"
"Yeah, I remember what you're talking about. The nine races of Alfhiem and if I remember correctly the Leprechaun is known as the blacksmith race because of building high quality armor and weapons."
"Well look at you Oni-chan, I guess all those lessons on learning about Alfhiem paid off." Sugu said smirking while Kazuto gave her a deadpan expression.
"I had no choice, you would whack me with the kendo stick every time I got one answer wrong."
"And thanks to that, it motivated you to learn everything in within one week. I should've got an award for that." She said smirking at the memory of her teaching him about Alfhiem.
"Too bad you didn't get one." He mumbled but she heard him anyway and flicked his forehead again.
"Just for that you owe me two smoothies." She teased as he grumbled coherently before getting back on topic.
"Anyway you said that she had Salamander magic?"
"Yes, but the point is she shouldn't be able to use magic of a different race, she shouldn't be able to use magic period." Sugu stated firmly.
"It must be that cube, Sinon used the same thing during our fight but it only affected the dimension around us. And her own power, was on a whole different scale, more powerful than the cube maybe, I sensed it." He said as Suguha raised an eyebrow at his last sentence but refrain from speaking on it.
"And that's not all…..turns out Sinon is a known acquaintance of Asuna."
"*Sigh* of course she is." Sugu sighed to herself before gazing at her brother with another question in mind. "Wait what's her real name?"
"I don't know. I feel like I've seen her before, but nothing comes up."
Suguha then decided that it was time she asked him about her, she didn't want to seeing how much stress it causes her brother but if she was going to protect him she needed to know.
"Hey."
"Hmm?"
"What was Asuna doing here and what did she talk about with you?" she asked as he sighed to himself.
"That was the one question I hoped you wouldn't ask me." He said in a nervous tone as he looked away from her.
"Kazuto, I need to know what she did to you. Even though you two were alone for a short time, she still could've hurt you." she said.
"Suguha….." he started off thinking of what to say and how to say it so she doesn't overreact. "…..she said that she knows about my…powers. Something about me being a Phantom."
"A Phantom?"
"I don't know….but what I do know is that she said she will tell me everything about it the next time we meet."
"And when is that?" she asked.
"Tonight." He said too quickly before realizing that his sister would flip.
"What!?" she shouted in alarm.
"I don't mean physically but mentally, the voices I've been hearing in my head lately are related to her." he said to calm her down before his voice got lower.
"Voices?" she called out in confusion before giving her brother a stern glare realizing that he hid something from her again.
"I'm sorry." He said nervously when she glared at him only for her to sigh in exhaustion.
'What am I going to do with you?"
"You said mentally right, so does that mean when you go to sleep?" she asked him, receiving a nod in confirmation. "Okay but I'm staying with you tonight and you'll tell me everything she says in the morning, got it?" she ordered with authority in her voice.
"Yes ma'am."
"*Sigh* baka." She mumbled to herself as her brother rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
After that, Suguha and Kazuto both turned in for the night and went to bed. True to her word, Sugu stayed closed to him the entire night and making sure that he was sleeping peacefully. She was worried about her brother talking with Asuna but she was more worried about what would happen to them from this point on.
Along with them, they're friends have just went through something that is outside logic and the battles they fought today in reality felt like the ones in VR. She couldn't but feel that soon something more drastic and dangerous will come to them...
Sword Art, Alfheim, Gun Gale, all those virtual reality worlds...
Soon...they will no longer will be virtual reality.
"I see." Asuna started with a hand on her chin. She was just told about the events that happened with Rika and Shino. It looks like the cube prototypes that Arsy gave them worked in perfect condition and that they were able to manifest they're own avatars, but something bothered her.
Her lover and his sibling.
Sinonon told her about her encounter with Kazuto and how badly his state was. She already knew his condition but she needed to confirm for herself. His mind was close breaking and his control over it is slowly decreasing if he doesn't get help soon…
Focusing her thoughts on the others, she wondered how his sister Suguha was able to manifest her own avatar as well. The cubes were specifically for them and only they were able to manifest their weapons so how was she able to… that unnerved her a lot.
"And what did was did she exactly manifest?"
"From what I saw, she's able to use healing magic. I damaged that pariah woman and then tortured her before being suddenly blind-sided by her. Not only that but she was able to summon a sword and she had wings on her back. Virtual wings." Rika said as she absently rubbed her right side from Sugu's attack.
"She's strong, crazy strong. I can still feel the bruise on my side from her surprise attack."
"I know."
"Sinon."
"Right, I had to mark Reaper because of his state. In order for me to see how bad it is, I had to release my own Curse and fight against his dead on." The gunner explained as she took off her glasses.
"We know, we all felt it." Rika added.
"Anyway, as you already know he can't lose himself to his Curse otherwise-"
"I prefer it if you didn't remind me of what happens to him if he does lose himself Sinon." Asuna said in a cold tone.
"…Understood."
Asuna relived a sigh before looking back at Shino. "Anyway, why did you mark him?"
"I had to. If his curse ever goes out of control or if he feels it slipping away, I'll know and I can sedate him but I can only do it so much."
'I know…" Asuna recalled as she remembered hearing Kazuto's cries of pain, she needs to tell him about his powers now before she loses him forever.
"So what do we do now?"
"Until Arsy is ready with her project, we don't do anything. If you do run into any of them, don't cause trouble… I prefer to keep our secret hidden for a little longer. But that doesn't mean you can't tease them or have fun with them for the mean time." She suggested, adding the last part specifically to Rika.
"Hmm?"
"Oh don't act like that, during our talk I noticed that while you were talking about Suguha you that look in your eyes again." Asuna said with a sly look on her face.
Rika only giggled at her words before placing a hand on her cheek.
"What can I say, she's just as cute as your boyfriend. One look at her and I knew that I had found my playmate…" she raised a finger to her lip and bit before her other hand grabbed her lower region.
"Mmm, just thinking about it fills me with such excitement and bliss. I already know what she tastes like and its sweet, I wonder how she tastes down there." She finished with a blush on her cheeks.
Shino gave her a small glare as Asuna pinched her eyebrows in exhaustion.
"If you're going to pleasure yourself again, please do it somewhere that doesn't involve an audience." Shino said as Rika let out a seductive giggle.
"You know there's always room for more, just take your pick, top or bottom?" Rika asked her in a sultry tone.
"Is there no end to your seduction?"
"Nope." Rika said as she stood up from her seat and moved over Asuna before straddling Shino.
"Get off."
"Only if you make me…" Rika challenged as she grabbed Sinon's right breast and gave it a squeeze, the latter letting out a small squeal in surprise. "Oh~ someone's growing."
"Enough, Liz."
"Aww~ you're no fun." The blacksmith said as she pouted at the chestnut.
"Just… do it when you're alone and no one can hear you." she said as Rika let out another giggle before leaving the room to who knows where.
"Sinon…"
"Hmm…"
"You're in charge for tonight… I'm heading into Dream Link to talk to Kirito. Please make sure Yui and Keiko are in bed by curfew. As for others…make sure nothing gets too wild while I'm gone okay."
"Understood." The gunner nodded as she pressed her glasses.
"…And please put up a sound barrier around Liz. " She pleaded knowing that Rika was in heat and will not hesitate to share her voice to the world.
"Don't worry I put that up the moment she left."
"Thank you." Asuna said in relief.
Sinon was about to leave until Asuna asked her to hold still. She thoguht that there was something wrong with confusion on her face only for it to have a small blush in her cheeks again as Asuna touched her breasts giving them a few squeezes.
"Wow…she was right. You are growing Sinonon."
"A-A-Asuna." Shino shouted turning away from her before making her out, her gun and bullets left forgotten on the table.
While Asuna just laughed at her friend's flustered face before morphing into a serious look.
"I guess I better get ready. You and I have long talk ahead us… Kirito-kun."
Author's Note: Man it's been two months since I've uploaded a chapter to this. Sorry for the wait, I got off exams and was enjoying summer vacation focusing on my stories. With a family relative visiting, doing some photos for photography and taking care of work, things have been a little hectic lately, which explains why I haven't been as active as I usually am.
Anyway, it is almost time guys. The main plot of the story where the world changes into another VR Nightmare is almost here. I've added one more choice for the poll and it is Ordinal Scale. I didn't add it at the time because I haven't seen the movie yet but I did and now the choice is yours. Here are the votes so far.
SAO - 4 votes
GGO - 2 votes
ALO - 1 vote
COM - 1 vote
Again, I just added OS so this should be interesting to see who will win. I think after the Ch. 6 I'll close the poll but thank you all for taking the time to vote. Sorry for the long wait but thank you for being patient, don't forget to read and review and I will see you all next time!
