The Breaking Point - Kirisuna

Another Adventure with Liz

A golden sword had become between the two to break the connection.

I had dread on my face. Alright, let's do this.

"NOBODY MESSES WITH MY KIRITO!!! I charged into the beast heroically.

There was no real form I was using, just a hammer over my head.

I swung my weapon heavily, the beast used a furry arm to smack the mallet from my hands. I stood there uselessly as a coward.

"LIZZZZ!!!" Kirito ran to me to shield me. He then moved me out the way to the side of the battlegrounds.

The look on his face wasn't one of worry this time, it was fury. My heart swelled at him getting worked up over me.

The more he viscously attacked the Serpider, the more I fell for him. This must be how Asuna felt. It felt good to be protected.

"AHHHHH. You win thissssss time". The creature finally died, shattering like glass.

Kirito famously swiped his swords through the air and put them on his back where they belonged.

I hopped up to my feet, then ran to my savior.

"Amazing! Whaddya get?". My eyes were peaking over his shoulder but he waited to turn to me.

I was pierced with a harsh glare. The black swordsman then began walking away without saying a word.

"Hey, what's the deal?" I latched onto the sleeve of Kirito's black coat.

"Are you fucking kidding me...". It was rare when he cursed like that at a woman. My hand let go of the sleeve in an instant.

I stood silent waiting for an explanation. Maybe he was shaken by me being in danger?

"You would go as far as to intentionally try to kill yourself here to trigger me into bonding with you because you know grief has tied me to others. How could you stoop so low as to fake not being able to fight to strike that kind of fear in me?"

"K-K-Kiri. I-I didn't, I was scared. I-"

"SHUT UP!"

I began to get defensive back. He saw right through me but he shouldn't be mad at me. As he said, I'm just trying to bond with him.

"W-Why would you make a claim like that!"

"Really, Lizbeth? Look at you. You were not afraid. I've seen you in battle before. And I saw you intentionally not swing your weapon cause you didn't activate a skill. I'm nowhere near as stupid as you!"

"There was supposed to be a prize at the end of this and I'm pretty sure it wasn't you screaming at me." That face of mine had failed me by turning a vibrant pink.

"You know what? Tuh! The prize was 2 jewelry pieces, a snake and a spider. This quest was about the tale of two best friends who couldn't bear to part with each other. They died and came back as one. But you... You are no longer any friend of mine."

"N. NOW WAIT A SEC. I didn't do anything that Asuna hasn't done before!"

"HOW DARE YOU. Asuna has fought so hard for me time and time again. Recently being that she spent 200 years in a mental prison knowing her life was in jeopardy once again. She was willing to die for me a million times and not just for attention. She would have never let me fight alone. Just another example of how great she is and how much we love each other. In fact, no one else in the friend group would have done what you did."

"I've fought for you before too! Don't act like I haven't. And yeah, Asuna loves you soooo much. So much so, she sent you to date every girl you know." tears burned my cheeks. My comment revved him up.

"I don't even know who you are anymore. Honestly. If this is you showing your true colors, trust and believe there's no way I'd ever be in love with you. I'm outta here."

Kirito logged out as quickly as he could leaving me in a puddle.

This wasn't supposed to happen.

He was supposed to save me. Hold me tight in his arms. He was going to say "don't ever do that again, I can't lose you!".

We'd hug and kiss for the first time. And finally, be happy in love.

I admit, maybe I went too far. Yet, how many times had Asuna been in danger for him to come to her rescue? It just wasn't fair. SHE had stolen my happiness and now my favorite person hates me.

My tears halted. I wasn't gonna cry over him. I was going to try again. I wasn't going to give up on him. No! It's not over yet!

If I talk to him, I just might be able to win him back...
