Aincrad, 1st floor

Daytime

Kiro's POV

I took my stance, and watched as Asuna drew her sword as well.

"Let's go then." Asuna said, grinning.

I grinned as well, as she charged at me, and shouted "Triangle slash!!"

I barely dodged the attack, getting a bad gash on my right shoulder.

"Damn..." I said, and put my blade in my left hand. My HP (Hit Points) was at the yellow section already.

"Double slash!" I called, and hit her left arm, and right leg.

"Hey, look! A PvP battle!" A bystander called.

"I bet 200 golls on the girl!"

"500 on the guy!"

And soon enough, more people arrived, and surrounded us, leaving us a circle to fight in.

"Looks like we got ourselves a crowd here." I said.

"Heh. Looks like we're the entertainment huh?" She chuckled.

I noticed her health was halfway down, getting close to the red bar.

I gripped my blade, and ran towards her. "Yaaaaahhhh!!!!!" I yelled.

Next thing I knew, I was teleported.

"Oof!!" I said, falling on my face.

"OW! Oooh!! Face burn!" I said, rubbing my face.

As I did that, I noticed that I was in the main area of the town.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked myself.

"Kiro!!!" A girl's voice squealed.

Huh? I turned around to see a red-headed girl running towards me.

"Bridgett?!" I exclaimed, as she wrapped her arms around me.

I was also buried into her large...ahem...assets.

"Maimamybrff!!" (I can't breathe!!)

"Oh, I'm sorry!!" She said, letting me go.

I took a loud gasp and said "I thought I was gonna die!" She then punched my arm, and said "Sh-shut up! It's not my fault they're so big..." She fondled them for a moment.

All of a sudden, a mirror appeared in my hand. "Huh?" I said, as my face changed. Like I mentioned before, I stay true to these games, so it didn't change all that much.

"My face!" I looked at Bridgett. She still looked the same, except an x-shaped scar appeared on her right cheek. Her eyes changed from green to blue.

"What the heck is going on?" She asked, but, before I could answer, the sky began going red.

I stood up, and saw a warning sign multiply, and transform into a hooded figure.

"No one will leave Aincrad until all 100 levels have been cleared. This may be a game, but this is no joke."

He paused for a moment, and said "My name is Kayaba Akihiko. Right now, I'm the only one who can control this world."

I tuned him out, and thought 'So this is our new reality. I think that's what he's getting at. My sister is also playing this game.... I wonder?

"Kira!!!!" I shouted. A few faces looked my way, but I didn't care. I ran past people, pushing them out of the way.

"Kiro!!" I heard my sister say, from the left of me. I shoved a group out of the way, and saw her heading towards me.

"Sister!" I called, relieved.

"Big Brother!" She happily yelled, and began hugging me.

"Big brother..." She said, tightening her grip.

Then I heard Kayaba say "As of this moment, your bodies are being transported to the hospitals as we speak. So relax, and focus on clearing the floors." He then disappeared.

"Is it true?" Kira asked me.

"Is what true?" I said, looking into her brown eyes.

"Is it true that when we die here, we die in the real life?"

I thought for a moment, and said "It's true. We must survive, sister. Do you hear me?" She nodded.

We both stood, and walked back to Bridgett.

"You remember Bridgett, right Kira?" I asked.

"Yeah. Hi, Bridgett." She waved, and smiled.

"Hey Kira. So, this isn't a game anymore.." She said, crossing her arms.

"Yeah. Shocking isn't it?" I asked.

She nodded, and cleared her throat.

"So, we'll stick together, right?"

I replied "Yeah."
