( I just watched Markiplier's Hearts and Heroes video and I feel in that 'sad' mood so let's see how this chapter goes! Also, I'm not going to school tomorrow, so free chapter tomorrow too! )

"So tomorrows the day, huh?" Said Kirito as he drew his sword to his back, watching the monster's sparkles in the air.

"Yes. Tomorrow's Family Thursdays!" You say excitedly.

Asuna has a deceiving look, but you ignore her.

"You're lucky you're cute." Kirito mumbles as he kicks dirt, looking at the ground.

"Did you say something?" You look at him while smirking.

"No." He says as he rolls his eyes.

You laugh, knowing exactly what he said.

The rest of the day you watched Kirito and Asuna fighting monsters because you felt kind of sick. In the game you get sick as well, and have to take medicine so your character can fight in battle. Kirito offered emotional support and bought some medicine for you.

"You're really sick, we might have to cancel our-"

"No! We're not cancelling. Doesn't matter if I'm sick or not." You said sternly.

You wanted to spend time with Kirito, mostly because he was fighting with Asuna and he was spending more time with her than you almost on the missions.

"Okay. Feel better. I'm gonna get you more medicine." Kirito ruffles your hair.

"Okay." You mumble quietly as you look at Asuna who was looking at Kirito walk away.

You hear a scream come out in the forest.

"Stay here." You mumble to Asuna as you run towards the direction.

You hear Asuna follow you.

"I said stay here." You say sternly, as you run faster towards the scream.

The girl screams again and you run even faster. You then stop to see a girl getting attacked by three monsters. She seems low-leveled. She has a pet, she must be one of those beast tamers. Her pet fades into dust as it takes the hit for her. You slash all the monsters at once, killing all of them in a row.

"No....Pina...." She whispers and starts crying.

"I'm sorry. It was my fault. I would've helped you if I got here sooner." You say as you look at the remaining feather.

"No.. It's fine.. Y-You saved me." She says as she looks up at you.

"Pina is gone.." She says as she looks at the feather in disbelief.

"You can actually get Pina back. There's a liquid on floor 22 that revives beasts." You say.

"R...Really?" She says as she gets up and grabs the feather.

"Yep."

"Good! Then I'll train and maybe I can get there someday!"

"Hate to break it to ya, but it expires in one week."

"WHAT?!"

"Yup."

"Oh no.. Now I'm never going to get there, we're only on floor 18!"

"It's fine. I'll help you."

"What's your name? My name is Silica." She says as she looks a bit more hopeful.

"Y/N. Also my boyfriend may be coming with us, so if you see a cute guy dressed in black, then that's him." You say casually.

"Okay.." She says as she whimpers a bit.

You hand her some gear, and then smile at her. You really like her, mostly because she reminds you of B/F/N. Her face and face expressions are almost the same as B/F/N.

"What?! Are you sure? This gear is really  expensive." She says looking at you in shock.

"Yeah. Sure." You say, handing her the stuff.

"Awesome, but.. Why did you choose to help me?" She says as she looks at you qith a questioned look.

"Because..." You trail off.

"Don't laugh, okay?" You make a skeptic face.

"I won't." She says.

You sigh.

"You remind me of my best friend." You say crossing your arms.

She tries to keep a straight face, but laughs. She then stops laughing. "Did they die here or something?" She mumbles, quietly.

"No, not at all, actually. B/F/N was going to log on SAO, but didn't because they had a busy day. I'm glad they didn't enter. I don't want them to die, either." You said.

"Oh." She says, but then looks up to see you thinking about something.

"So, we should head out. I'm going to give Kirito a call. You guys can chat or something for a while, I have to see someone once he comes." You say as you pull out your phone.

Kirito answers on the second ring.

"What's up, goober?" He says.

"Hey. I found a girl that needed help, she was being attacked by monsters and I need you to hold her company while I tell Asuna to do her own thing." You say as you hear Asuna talk in the background.

"Oh. I was wondering where you are, I just got here and I was about to call you. Bring the girl back here and I'll keep her company." Kirito says.

"Sure. Be there. Love you." You smile and hang up.

"So...thank you. Again." Silica says as she walks to your side nervously.

"No problem." You say, smiling.

You look down at her and smile. She also reminds you a lot of Kirito's sister. Wonder if he will think the same thing. You kept walking with Silica until you arrived at your destination.

You spotted Kirito sitting down on a tree. He looks up and quickly hugs you. You smile and wait for Kirito to notice Silica. Kirito looks down and greets her. She greets back.

"You guys chat for a bit, I have to do something." You say as you grab Kirito's medicine from his bag and sit down in a nearby tree. You also decide to read a book, because why not? You hate reading but you read a book on more fighting skills. You also decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"So what exactly happened?" Kirito taps his finger on the table you set up so they could be comfortable.

"I was being attacked by monsters because I left my group. I let out a scream because I saw my beast fall into dust. And yes, I'm a beast tamer and my group was using me for attention. I saw Pina die because he took the hit for me and... Y/N came and saved me. She said there was a liquid on floor 22 that could revive my precious Pina." Silica said as she had a frown.

As soon as she mentioned floor 22, Kirito had wide-eyes.

"Actually, I'll take you there! Y/N doesn't have to do anything about that." Kirito said nervously.

"Nope, I'm going with you." You said from behind, startling them both.

"fine.." Kirito mumbles.

There was something about floor 22 that Kirito didn't want you to go there?

"We'll take you there." Kirito says as he smiles at Silica and then plays with his sleeve.

He looks up to see Silica looking at him, and then he stares at her.

Silica's face turns like a tomato and then she starts panicking.

"Woah! Is it just me? Or is this forest getting really hot? Wow, aren't you guys feeling it too? Just me? Okay. Okay. Kirito..." She says really quickly.

Kirito just laughs and continues playing with his sleeve, giving you more time. You take a quick glare at Silica, but shrug it off since you know she wouldn't be any trouble.

It was silence for a few moments until you decided to stop reading.

"We can go in two days." You say, breaking the silence.

Kirito nods, following Silica's nod.

You forgot about Asuna, but you figured Kirito asked her to leave.

"Sorry about the two days thing, tomorrow we have Family Thursdays." You smile, glaring at Kirito.

"Oh. Nice." She says, looking at you both.

"Can I count as you guys's little sister?" She says, fiddling with her hands.

"Of course." You smile, looking at Kirito.

Kirito pauses. "You remind me of my sister, as well."

She smiles with excitement. "Yes!"

"Also, both of you make a great couple!" Silica smiles.

"Thanks." You and Kirito say simultaneously.

"You are now our little sister."
