Chapter Six
"What's wrong sis?" The boy asked.
The young girl looked like she was crying her heart out. The eight year old had been told horrible things that an eight year old never wanted to hear.
"Th-they said that I was u-ugly and lonely, and that no one l-loved me. And that I'm a-an attention se-seeking girl that lost her m-mom." The little girl cried harder as she said this.
The boy engulfed his younger sister in a hug as she cried into his shoulder. "You are beautiful and lovely, little sister. And if anyone is the attention seeker, it's the person who said those awful things. You should know that I love you and I'm here for you, dad is doing everything he can to make it all better. You should be proud."
The girl looked up at her brother, "P-proud?" The little girl asked. "Yes, proud. Your mother died and you keep moving on, you know it's okay to cry when someone insults you, or when someone you love.... leaves. Mom would have wanted to see the beautiful young girl right here."
The little girl had silent tears streaming down her face as she looker up at her brother. "Y-you won't leave me, will you Arigo?"
"Look at me." The boy put his hands on the sides of his sisters face and brought her to look into his eyes. "I will never leave you, no matter what. Even if I die, I'm still in your heart, just like mom is."
The tears stopped flowing from the girls face as she smiled. "I want to be just like you when I grow up." The boy laughed, "You can't be me."
"Why not?" The girl asked. "Because," her brother said. "Your you and I'm me, Misu."
"Misu?" The little girl asked. "It's mom's name, I think I'll call you Misu when we're alone."
The little girls was so happy. "Okay, Arigo." The little girl said as she hugged her brother, she would never listen to the awful thing those people had said ever again.
"Is she okay?"
"Of course she isn't, Sachi, look at her shoulder."
Misu heard voices as she swam through her own mind. Hey eyes opened somewhat as she tried to recognize the voices, but couldn't place them.
"Shut up guys! I think she's coming to!"
Misu opened her eyes, "Where am I?" Misu sat up and looked around, there were people surrounding her as she sat on the ground.
There was a guy with dark brown hair and grey armor with red shirt on to her left. To the guys right was a girl with warm and worried expression with shoulder length, black hair. To Misu's right was a guy with short, light brown hair, he seemed to be holding a vial of something. Beside that guy was another guy with dark, brown hair and grey eyes. There was another guy with blond hair and a grey cap on standing over her.
As Misu looked in front of her, she noticed the guy that had saved her. It was Kirito, he had on the cape that he had left with on. As Misu looked around, she realized something.
Misu stood up. "Woah! Go easy there, you just got sucker punched twice."
Misu had a dark expression that could scare a bear on. Misu looked at Kirito, he seemed to realize who she was as he looked at her. Kirito smiled anxiously, "Hi M-" suddenly, Kirito was being punched by Misu.
"YOU LITTLE BASTARD! YOU GO RUNNING OFF ON ASUNA SAYING THAT SHE SHOULD JOIN A GUILD AND WHEN SHE ASKS YOU A QUESTION YOU DON'T EVEN ANSWER, YOU JUST WALKED AWAY FROM HER!" Misu continued to punch Kirito as a few members of the group tried to pull her off of Kirito and a few stood to the side laughing. "AND THEN YOU GO AND JOIN A GUILD AFTER SAYING YOU'RE A SOLO PLAYER! NOW I'M ALL LEFT OUT AND DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU THAT WELL!! KIRITO! I. WILL. KILL. YOU!!!!"
After a few more punches and the people trying to, unsuccessfully, pry her off Kirito, Misu calmed down once his helath bar reached yellow. "Kirito," Misu said as she breathed heavily. "You owe me a new cloak."
Kirito looked at her as though she was crazy, and she partially was. "What? Why do I owe you a new cloak?"
Misu grimaced and said, "Cause this one needs to be a darker blue. And I didn't kill you."
"That's totally-" Kirito started, but was cut off by a cough. Misu looked over to to the other people.
"Kirito, how do you know the Blue Swordsman?" The guy with the grey cap asked.
Misu rolled her eyes and huffed, "I prefer Blue Swordswoman, Blue Blur, Blue, or Misu. I don't care, as long as it isn't Blue Swordsman."
Misu stood up again, "Well thank you for the potion and everything, but I must get going now. I've got places to see and quests to be... Or is it quests to do?" Misu rubbed her chin. "Anyway, thanks guys!"
Misu started walking, but Kirito said, "Wait!" Misu stopped and turned around. "At least stay and let me know what you've been up to for the past six months."
Misu looked at Kirito, then at his guild members and sighed. "Fine. But I still want that cloak." She said.
"Okay." Kirito agreed.
"I'm Keita, the guild leader. This is Sachi, she's a Damage Dealer, there's Testuo, he's a Forward. Sasamaru here is another Damage Dealer, and Ducky'a a thief. Our guild name is Moonlit Black Cats."
"Pleasure to meet all of you." Misu said with her hood up.
"So," Kirito said. "What have you been up to Misu?"
The Moonlit Black Cats and Misu were sitting around a table at an inn talking to each other. After Misu passed out in the field, they had out a on her forehead until she had woken up.
After Misu had finished her rampage, everyone had gone to the inn with their teleportation crystals.
"Been doing a few quests here and there," Misu said. "helped out a few people. Convinced someone that they shouldn't give up on life.... What else? Oh yeah, I saw Asuna. Didn't talk to her, but I caught a glimpse of her in the Front Assault Lines."
Kirito's eyes widened, "Your on the assault team?" Misu rolled her eyes, "I'm not on the assault team, I just help out here and there. Helped defeat a few bosses, defeated one on my own actually. It wasn't pretty, almost died though, but you should have seen the look on the Blood Oath Knight's faces, it was hilarious!"
The Black Cats looked at Misu in awe, "What? Why at you looking at me like that, it's creepy. And why are you surprised? Kirito's only a few levels be-" Misu was cut off by Kirito giving her a look to be silent.
"Uh, he helped defeat the first boss." Misu saved Kirito, he now owed her a new cloak and a sandwich.
"Yeah, but I heard that your a beater!" Ducky exclaimed.
So they don't know Kirito's real level or that he's a beater. Typical.
Misu looked at the clock and her eyes widened. "Uh, I have to go. I've got to finish a job and meet some potential client. It was nice meeting you all! Good luck!" But before she opened the door she stopped and looked towards Sachi, "Good luck with all these guys."
With that, Misu raced out the door and used a transportation crystal to get to floor 20, to finish her job.
