"Sakura"

"Link start!"

White flashes of color comes into my view, as i am materialized into the game.

I draw my sword from my purple sheath, as i slash at the monster in front of me

This has been my gaming life, i go at this alone and that is how I've always liked doing this. i come in fight the boss and leave, but someone changes my life.

I got stuck in this game by someone and i am gonna find out how.

I walk, my boots crunching on the ground, as i stop, i look down, boots on the ground, their footstep prints are embedded in the ground. I hide behind a tree, holding my sword in front of me, I aim at the person, Raven haired boy.

"Who... are... you?"

He draws his black sword.

"Kirito, and you?"

our swords clash as my pink eyes meet his black ones.

"Sa...kur...a" I say between clashes.

"I mean you no harm, Sakura, i just want to go to the capital of this city, my... Girlfriend is there"

I narrow my eyes at him, analyzing his body language, i look into his eyes, they seemed genuine, i sigh putting my sword back in my sheath.

"Fine, I'll take you... Kirito"

"Thank you"

"Follow Me"

I walk away, he follows.

"Do you usually fight bosses alone?"

"Yes, it's better that way, trusting people gets you killed, and i am no fool,"

He looks to me.

"Doesn't it get lonely?"

"Sometimes, but i'd rather be lonely than dead"

I slash at the trees to make a path, Kirito chuckles, i stop looking at him.

"What's so funny?"

"I used to be like that, wanting to go alone.. Do things alone, i thought i'd be easier that way, but... Asuna, my girlfriend showed me, i don't have to fo this alone"

"Sounds nice to... have someone that.. fills in that emptiness"

"it is"

We walk as i slash trees for path, i see the capital city.

"I guess not everyone is lucky to have that special someone"

"You know... Romance doesn't have to be that thing that fills you, it can be friendship"

I scoff.

"You, wanna be my friend?"

"Yes"

"I'm not a good friend"

"You can be"

"i suppose"

We enter capital city.

"Thank you, I hope we meet again"

"Me, too"

He walks away, I walk another path to were ever it takes me. Knowing i have a friend... Kirito
