Upon arrival at the student council lounge, we are met with brilliant students who look relieved. They take notice of us walking in and Shun walks over to us.
"We just finished everything here, now we just have to put everything up in a safe place."
Kirito nods and looks around.
" Alright, the headmaster can deal with the rest, let's all go home."
A lot of the students were overjoyed and some were disappointed such as myself. I leave without anyone noticing and go back to my dorm to get my stuff, as I'm packing my suitcase the door behind me swings open and as I turn around to see who it is, incomes an out of breath Kirito, He looks at me with a panic-stricken face and I raise my eyebrow.
"Huh? what's wrong?"
He quickly stands up as if he wasn't just trying to catch up to her.
"N-Nothing, where are you going?
I turn back around to zip up my suitcase.
"Home I guess."
Just then Kirito grabs my wrist and spins me around.
"Silly you can't go back there alone, come with me and you can stay at my place."
my face instantly goes red and Kirito laughs at my reaction.
"I have a spare bedroom you can use for right now, let's go it is already 9:30 and we have to be indoors by 12, the lockdown starts at 12, so even if you wanted to go back to your home you wouldn't get there before lockdown took place, we will be lucky to get to my place by 11:45 at the earliest."
I take my hand back.
"Won't this be too much of a burden on you, and what about your family? How will they feel knowing you have a girl living with you?"
Kirito shrugs.
"I have my own place and even if they do find out its none of their concern, I have been fending for myself for a while now so come on."
(Kirito pov)
(I know full well that if I were to allow her to go back to her old house shed probably get kidnapped again or maybe even worse...I can't let Kazuki get another chance like that or anyone else. It's just not safe for her right now.)
I take her hand in mine and lead her out of the dorm where my driver was waiting for us. I help her into the car and put her luggage in the trunk with mine then get in the back seat with her, I look over to see her hands in her lap and looking out the window, I could tell by her body language she was completely in a nervous wreck, I couldn't help but stare at her because though she's uncomfortable she's too cute to not look at. Her reactions are cute but I knew id have to make her comfortable for this to work so I decided to take the next move...I reach over and grab ahold of her hand Interlocking our fingers while looking out the other side of the window as well. The driver then starts to drive away to our new home for the time being.
(At Kirito home Yuki pov)
We pull up to a pretty big two-story condo, it was white and had a lot of tall windows, the gates open and close once we drive in pulling up to the door. We step out and Kirito grabs a hold of my hand.
"This way, I'll show you around."
He guides me through the front door which had a hallway, we turn right near the entrance of the hallway and walk into a large living room with white walls that had some portraits on them, the brown hard tiled floor went well with the black half circled couch, a tea table sat in between the couch and flat-screen TV that was mounted onto the wall, below the tv were shelves full of movies or games, on top of the shelf was a couple of counsels, on the same wall of the tv further down was a window that had a place for you to sit or lay on, it looked comfy and beautiful.
"This is the living room, and over here is the Kitchen."
He then led me to the kitchen, the floors and walls seemed to be the same all over. The counters looked to be marble black with sparkles it was unique and very pretty. next, he led me to the bathroom but just to show me where it was located at, He then takes me up the stairs and points to the two doors near each other.
"There is a bathroom that is shared by these two rooms. Your room is on the right and mines on the left further down, next let me show you the backyard."
He then drags me to the backyard, it seemed that his whole house was guarded by a big fence and some guards. Everything was lit by pretty lights hanging up He had a large pool that also had bright lights in it with a hot tub near it and a basketball court, near the sliding back doors, is a table with lounge chairs and umbrella hanging over it.
Everything looked so pretty and clean. Just then a big pure white cat and a pure black cat came out of nowhere rubbing up against my legs.
*Meow, Meow!*
I squat down to pet them. they were indeed beautiful.
(Kirito has beautiful cats, I'm so in love with how gorgeous they are!)
"It seems they like you a lot, The white one is Yin it's a girl and the black one is Yang that one is a boy. I also have two dogs, One is part wolf and part husky her name is Luna shes black and white looks more like a husky than a wolf at all, The boy dog is named Kenai he's pure white too, they are at my Mothers place for the time being but will be dropped off here sometime in the next few days.
"It sounds like you have a house full already."
I laugh nervously but he shakes his head.
"They are all pretty independent, the dogs serve as guard dogs while the cats take care of anything that is not supposed to be in the house, common it's getting late let's go to sleep."
I nod and we go back inside where he leads me back to my room.
"If you get hungry later you can go get something from the kitchen, I'm headed to bed goodnight."
I reach out and pull on his sleeve as he turns to leave.
"Wait!"
He looks back at me with a questionable face.
"What's wrong?"
I shake my head.
"Nothing...I just wanted to say thank you for this. It means a lot."
I give him a genuine smile and he smirks.
"It's really no problem, have a good rest, Yuki."
He then walks into his room and closes the door behind him, I do the same and as I walk in I see my luggage was already beside my bed I quickly change into a nightgown and climb into the bed, it was nice and fluffy, the blanket was very comfortable too, it felt like I was laying on clouds. Soon I drifted off to sleep but my dreams were plagued by night terrors, I was slowly recalling the moment my father and brother were killed. Kazuki was in a fit of rage for some reason arguing with Suki, Dad was trying to stop them while mother and I stood by watching. Soon Kazuki snapped and out of nowhere unleashes a wave of black aura that slashes both dad and Suki. Dad was completely unrecognizable, Suki laid underneath father since my dad tried to protect him at the last second. My mother pulled me behind her shielding me away from Kazuki pleading for our lives but Kazuki just laughs...Slashing my mother as well with the same attack and she falls to the ground, I quickly use my ice magic to throw ice shards at him as he moves closer to finish off mom but he easily dodges and keeps advancing. Just at the last minute before he could attack her I throw myself over her body taking the full attack across my back. Kazuki Kicks me in the side and I'm sent rolling on the ground away from mother, I struggle to get up, and just as he approaches me a figure my mind can't make out attacks Kazuki from behind but before I could finish my dream I'm quickly woken up as fear courses through me, panting and covered in sweat I look around at my surroundings seeing it was still night and that it was a dream...no a lost memory I sigh a breath of relief and try to let my nerves and adrenaline calm down recalling the ending.
(The figure behind Kazuki that day...I can't remember who it was nor can I remember what happened after that...but why?)
It sent chills throughout my body and I look at the time. It was 3 am, too early to get up and take a shower so I decided to try to go back to sleep for now.
