Kirito's P.O.V.

I tear through the trees, with Y/N and the others behind me. I'm panting, trying to catch my breath as I run. We had been running for what felt like hours, trying to get away from Asuna, his friends, and most importantly, that thing. Finally, we emerged onto the hill where me and Y/N had been before Asuna's friends put me in the hospital. Thank god I was able to grab some of our bags... I think to myself.
"Y/N? Julie? What's going on?" Came from a voice atop the hill. I looked up. Y/N ran past me and up the hill. "Grandpa, we need to get the word across the village! Tell everyone to lock up their doors, and hide in their attics!" Y/N fretted. His Grandpa nodded, and asked for the full story. As Y/N explained what was happening, Julie came over to me.
"Hey, Kirito?" She asked.
"Yeah?"
"This is a totally random question, but uhm... Did you and Y/N actually..." Julie's voice trailed off. I quickly realized what she was asking. I laughed quickly, and shook my head. "We haven't yet." I replied, and at that point Y/N called me. I ran up the hill to him, and kissed him as his Grandfather walked off to go warn the village, along with two of our friends. Y/N rested his head on my shoulder, and I hugged him tight.
"Kirito, I... Think we need to use the sword."
