Akihiko Kayaba: "There is only one for all you to escape this world now, being that you have to beat all 100 floors in the game by defeating the boss on each floor. With that having be said I have left a gift in the each of your storage."
Hearing what he said I open menu with the other following me in do the same, for to see and mirror item there. Clicking the item to only hear Sachi, Klein and the shout for it to also had seem that a white light envelope us, while the whole town center seem to be cover in players shouts.
Opening my eyes I look at my hands before I heard a soft voice that says my name having me look to them to see a girl that has short black hair for, she had her hand up to her chest as I could see worry and concern in her eyes causing me to look around to see what should be Klein and Kirito for their amor are the same. Turning back to see the girl still looking at "Sachi... is that you?"
Sachi: Releasing a sigh of relief once I heard that this was Ishtar in front of me, I place my hand on her forearm with tears in my eyes "I'm... so... glad that it's you... I was scared... that... It... wasn't... you... being that you look so different."
Pulling Sachi into my embrace "you don't have to worry, it's... it's... me..." for it seems that we have been made to appear as we do in the real world." After finishing what I said we hear Klein say in an exasperated way "why... why... has he done this... to us... all we wanted to do... was play a game."
Akihiko Kayaba: "You all are possible wondering why? why has Akihiko Kayaba, has done this... and really there's only one reason, it was to have a world created by... the rules I've set... just to have the chance to have a world I can call my own... but for all that to have been said this is the end of the tutorial for Sword art online."
Seeing him starting to disappear I hold Sachi tighter before moving her away a little and placing my hand on her cheek to see her look into my eyes for me to easy the uneasy ness in her for it seemed that she sensed something... 'I'm... I'm... doing... it again... I'm running away...' causing an image to show in my mind of when I started to distant myself from... Asuna... 'and.... Sachi... Sachi... is the only... one... that I could...'
Stopping my mind of thought before I lean down catching Sachi by surprise, but she doesn't pull away when our lips meet 'S-Sachi... once... once... I'm stronger... I will... I can... just know that I will always be there to protect you... just... stay alive... I'll stop... by... when I can... and make it up to you and your... friends...'
As soon as the force field that was trapping us is gone, I used the teleportation crystal I was hiding behind my back to leave. Falling to my knees in front of the gate to leave the town I hang my head before covering my face with my hand as the tears start to trail down my cheeks as I try to hold back the sobbing sounds, to only see image of 'Asuna... of when... I started to push her... away... after... I learned... that no matter what I did... dad wouldn't accept me... due to being different.
Not wanting to drag down Asuna... I had started to push away... only for the images to switch to when I met Sachi... of when... she still so new at the game... to us questing together... beside me... being ten above her... and she never ask why I was so strong... for the last image to be of when we were out eating... and of when I had fallen in love with her...' No longer being able to contain my feeling I place my forehead the ground as I start bang on it.
Allowing the sound of me crying echo throughout the empty street only stopping for me to whisper under my breath "I...I... never got the chance to... officially... announce how... I felt about... I hope... that the kiss... conveyed... enough to her... I'm... I'm.... so...so... sorry... Sachi...." Sitting up before leaning against the gate wall as I hang my head to only hear a notification ding causing me to look up just under where my name and health bar his to see I got a message.
Feeling the guilt run through my body I open it to see it's from Sachi having me see that there's only one message from her "be safe... don't forget to message me to let me know that you are ok." Biting my lip I hang my head again while I closed the message, getting up once I noticed that a player was making their way towards me. For I had an ideal of who it was, but I keep my face hidden from as they stopped next to me at my side.
Kirito: Standing at Ishtar side as I was also hiding my face "you... ready."
Taking a deep breath as I covered my face with my hands again before replying "M-hmm..." which had walk past me leaving the town... only for me follow after him.
(Town of Tolbana)
Walking along the street to the stadium to have a meeting about how to defeat the floor boss being that it's been a month sense the day of the that it has started, with also being away after me and Kirito had gone our own ways after being the first to reach this town. But also, I haven't been back to see Sachi and her friends since I had left her... though we message each other to make sure that were each ok... but for that to be it... though she said the others are made that I had left them.
Walking through the door to the stadium to see that a few other players are here already, looking around I see Kirito up in stands sitting alone before I had made my way to the middle row in the stands to and empty row sitting by myself. Seeing a few other arrive for a person with a cloak on walks pass me and sitting in the same row as Kirito was, but at the far end away from him that's two rows behind me.
