A/N: Decided to try out a concept I had in my mind. Just a Basic prologue I came up with. I don't know if I will actually continue to write this fic or not you will have to see.

This is my first fic so I'm expecting criticism and/or harsh comments which I don't mind. Review, Fav or Follow if you want its your choice really.

As I said its just a concept really and IDK if I will finish it or continue it.

November 6th, 2022, 3:00pm Sobu High School, Chiba

The club-room door slams open as Hiratsuka-sensei makes her presence known disrupting the peace inside. A beautiful girl with raven black hair down to her waste stares at the teacher with a cold glare from her ice blue eyes. The girl next to her with shoulder length peach hair with an offset Chinese bun is also looking at the door shocked by the sudden loud noise that was made. A boy with black hair and Ahoge also looks towards the door, eyes of a dead fish showing little interest to the disturbance as he then returns his vision to the light novel in his hands.

"Sensei knock " Exclaims the raven haired beauty, Also referred to as many names such as The Ice Queen, Ice cold Beauty and Demon Super Woman by her dead fish eyed dare she say friend and club mate Hikigaya Hachiman.

"I would Yukinoshita but then you wouldn't answer so I just chose the next best thing" Hiratsuka says whilst smirking at the girl.

"Sensei I think you should knock next time, our resident Ice Queen over here seems to be looking pretty angry that you disturbed her reading time" Hikigaya says with a smirk glancing at Yukinoshita.

"Oh you can speak can you? I don't recall things of sub human level being able to speak Hikki-germa-kun" Yukinoshita responded with a glare that could freeze a whole army. Hikigaya flinched slightly at the glare then returned a glare equally as cold whole heartedly. The resident air head of the club decided to speak up to stop the glares of the two before it turned into an all-out war.

"Yukinon, Hikki, I think we should just listen to what sensei has to say." Yuigahama said as she slightly backed away from the intense stares coming from either side of the table.

"Great suggestion Yuigahama-san, I shouldn't give something like that thing over there the right to look at me like that. I should be worried his eyes would ruin my image" Yukinoshita responded pride-fully and removed her glare from Hikigaya.

"Sensei what is it you want" She inquired after she turned her gaze to the teacher standing in the middle of the room with Two boxes in her arms.

"Ahh these?" Hiratsuka then walked over to the table and dropped the boxes onto it with a loud 'THUNK'.

"These are your next steps to help you integrate into society!" She said whilst eyeing Hikigaya and Yukinoshita specifically. "They are the new technology that just came out called the 'Nerve Gear'" Hikigaya's Face lit up once he heard the name of what was in the boxes.

"Seriously Sensei? How did you manage to get them? I thought they were all sold out after the announcement of the 10,000 that were made for the public to test out." Hikigaya said whilst looking at Hiratsuka with a questioning gaze.

"Yes your right Hikigaya they are all sold out, but I won these at a party on the weekend as a prize for winning the couples raffle 2 times in a row!" Hiratsuka then started grumbling about not having a partner or something along those lines.

"So Sensei what do you want us to do with these?" Yukinoshita inquired. "How would they help us 'Integrate into society' as you put it"

"Well I have good news for you two!" Specifically eyeing Yukinoshita and Hikigaya "You will be using these to play the new game 'Sword Art Online' that will be releasing later today!" Hiratsuka said with a huge smile whilst pumping her fist into the air.

"SERIOUSLY!" Hikigaya yelled as he heard what Hiratsuka said. "Sorry to burst your bubble Sensei but I already have the game as I was one of the 1000 beta testers for the game" Hikigaya said smirking whilst pointing at himself with his thumb and puffing out his chest.

"WHAT!" Hiratsuka yelled equally as loud as Hikigaya did. "Seriously? You were one of the beta testers? What was it like? Was there any hot guys playing the game? Were they looking to go out with anyone?" Hiratsuka said barraging more questions about anyone looking to be in a relationship then about the game itself.

"Sorry Sensei, but I don't think there was anyone playing that was looking for someone as old as you" Hikigaya instantly regretted saying that as a fist flying Mach 5 flew into his gut probably causing internal bleeding and rib fractures. "Gahh! Sensei I was just joking" He said in a weak voice afterwards almost threatening to fall of his chair but recovered in what seemed like superhuman speed.

"Can it Hikigaya" Hiratsuka said angrily "Anyway since Hikigaya already seems to have the game and system required to play it, I guess I can give this nerve gear to Yuigahama then to use and she can play with you guys!" She exclaimed happily.

"Sensei I understand you are excited about the new technology and the new game but how exactly will this help us with our "Problems" as you call them?" Yukinoshita asked curiously, tilting her head cutely as Hikigaya would put it. (He would never say that out loud of course for he is to prideful). Hikigaya answered for Hiratsuka.

"Sword Art Online is a VRMMORPG, or a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, for the people here who don't know what it stands for" Hikigaya said as a glanced towards Yuigahama.

"Anyway as I just said it is a MMO so it essentially forces you to interact with other players of the game since it is constantly online and other people will always be playing it. So I can see what Sensei means by helping us 'Integrate into society' as we will be forced to interact with other people whilst player the game." Hikigaya said raising a finger and looking like he was giving a lecture.

"Are Are, I wouldn't imagine you playing such a game, aren't you what you call yourself a loner?" Yukinoshita asked with a teasing smirk. "Having to interact with other people would annoy you wouldn't it? Having to constantly interact with other people and have people constantly in your presence"

"That's where you're wrong Yukinoshita; you don't have to play MMO's with other people. There is something called being a lone wolf, where you play solo essentially and only interact with other players if deemed necessary" Hikigaya responded confident smirk adorned on his face.

"That's enough you two" Hiratsuka said whilst holding her fist up in a threatening manner. "The game launches later today at 4pm, so club is cancelled for the rest of the day, Hikigaya! Since you already own the games and the systems I want you to help Yukinoshita and Yuigahama set there's up and get them in game" Hiratsuka said in a commanding tone.

"Sure I can do that." Hikigaya said looking towards Yukinoshita and Yuigahama. "I guess I'll have to walk you guys home then to show you how to set it up" He said with a cautious tone not knowing if they would accept or not.

"Sure Hikki! I'm fine with it" Yuigahama said happily. Meanwhile Yukinoshita was looking down at her Knees, gripping the hem of her skirt and fidgeting slightly.

"I-I guess it's okay for you to do that, but just to let you know I will have the police on speed dial and if you attempt to do anything I will not…"

"Hai Hai, you will not hesitate to call the police on me because of my eyes my, face etc" Hikigaya said waving Yukinoshita off like she was a pest. "Anyway we better get going we only have less than an hour till the launch of the game."

They all got up and packed there possessions away into their bags. Hikigaya grabbed both the boxes and started walking out the door suggesting that they should go to his first to get his Nerve gear to demonstrate how to work it.

The trio were walking up the stairs towards Yuigahama's apartment after they stopped by Hikigaya's to pick up his Nerve Gear after he said he would demonstrate how to use it at Yuigahama's since it would be quicker to have both Nerve Gears there to show the airhead how to work it properly. The three reached the door and were greeted by an overly cheerful mother who looked exactly like an older version of Yuigahama.

"Welcome home Yui" Yuigahama's mother said with a bright smile. "Are Are, If it isn't Hikki and Yukinoshita-san! What are you to doing here today" She said as her smile grew even wider.

"Hello Yuigahama-san" Hikigaya said surprisingly politely. "Yukinoshita and I are just here to show Yuigahama how to work this game system our Sensei gave us today. It will allow us to play the game together and I brought mine over to show her how to use it." He said slightly bowing at the end.

"Oh well, come in, come in" Yuigahama's mum replied happily moving aside to let the three into the apartment. "Would you like any drinks or snacks?" she asked as they walked towards Yuigahama's room. Hikigaya and Yukinoshita couldn't help but snicker at the 'Do Not Enter Yui' [1] Sign on the door of the kitchen.

"Hikki, Yukinon! Stop laughing it's not funny!" Yuigahama said puffing her cheeks and pouting. The snicking turned to full on laughter with Yuigahama's mother joining in as well. The laughter continued for a while then finally died down.

"Sorry Yuigahama" Hikigaya said wiping a tear out of his eyes. "I just didn't expect your own mother to agree with our opinions, it was just too funny" He said starting to laugh again.

"Sorry Yuigahama-san but I have to agree with Hikigaya-kun this time as much as I don't want to" Yukinoshita said trying to cover her mouth from the remaining laughter she still had built up inside her. The two regained their composure and answered Yuigahama's mothers question from earlier.

"No thank you Yuigahama-san, I'm fine since I will be leaving shortly after to help Yukinoshita set hers up." Hikigaya said politely looking toward Yukinoshita waiting to hear her answer.

"Thank you for the offer Yuigahama-san, but I will also be leaving after Hikigaya-kun shows us how to set it up" Yukinoshita answers with a slight bow. The three then proceeded to walk into Yuigahama's room. Hikigaya then proceeds to tell Yuigahama the basics of how to set up the Nerve Gear.

"So yeah that's how you set it up" Hikigaya said releasing a sigh. He really had to dumb it down for Yuigahama to understand how to make the thing work.

"Thanks Hikki! I can't wait to play with you guys!" Yuigahama exclaimed happily slightly bouncing up and down as well almost hypnotizing Hikigaya with the movement of her considerable bust. Hikigaya looked away blush and conveniently to the bedside table which contained a clock. The time Read 3:00pm.

"Shit, we better get going Yukinoshita there's only an hour till launch. Sorry Yuigahama we can't stay any longer if we want the chance to play the game at launch. I'll text you when to login and where to meet in game later and you can text Yukinoshita afterwards." Hikigaya said quickly ready to race out the door at any moment. He couldn't wait to be back in that world once again. All he had to do was show the Ice Queen how to work the Nerve gear then he would be back in that game.

"Oh, Okay, See you later Yukinon and Hikki!" Yuigahama said with a sad smile for some reason. Hikigaya couldn't figure out why though.

"Alright see you later Yuigahama" Hikigaya said walking towards the door with Yukinoshita trailing behind him. They both put on the shoes ready to leave and head to Yukinoshita's apartment.

"Goodbye Yuigahama-san, Yuigahama's mother" Yukinoshita said whilst giving Yuigahama a hug.

"Goodbye Hikki! Yukinoshita-san, please come over again soon!" Yuigahama's Mother said waving happily from the lounge room. Hikigaya and Yukinoshita soon left the apartment and made their way towards the nearest train station that would take them close to Yukinoshita's apartment.

As they were walking Hikigaya couldn't help but notice Yukinoshita started trailing behind almost too slowly. He didn't think much of it at first but as time went on he eventually gave in and stopped dead in his tracks.

"Why are you stopping?" Yukinoshita asked in a surprised tone slightly narrowing her eyes at him as he stood there looking at her dumbfounded.

"You started trailing behind too far and with your sense of direction it would be bad if you were to loose me, so I decided to stop and wait for you to catch up before walking again" Hikigaya said with a straight face trying not to show any hint that he was slightly concerned at her slower than usual pace.

"I'm fine Hikigaya-kun, no need to worry about me. I have walked to and from Yuigahama's place to the train station many times, so it's fine if you want to go ahead. I will meet you at my apartments lobby, I'm sure you remember where it is?" Yukinoshita answered it a slightly agitated tone. Though she was slightly happy Hikigaya-kun at least was a little concerned about her. Not that she would show to him or say it out loud.

Hikigaya sighed "Give me your bag and the box, they seem to be affecting your stamina and we both know how bad that is" Hikigaya said walking up and taking the Nerve Gear box out of her hands. Yukinoshita put up some resistance but eventually gave in and let go off the box. But she refused to give Hikigaya-kun her bag. Once Hikigaya took the box from her the pace picked up quite a lot in 5 minutes they were on the train waiting for it to reach the station closest to Yukinoshita's apartment. They arrived at Yukinoshita's apartment at 3:30pm. Hikigaya was admittedly a bit nervous seeing how he had never been to Yukinoshita's apartment alone before and the only other time he was here was when Yuigahama and he were checking up on her during the cultural festival.

Yukinoshita then opened the door of the apartment "Tadaima" Yukinoshita said as she entered the apartment.

"Okaerinasai" Hikigaya said out loud then immediately apologized "Sorry house husband reflexes" He said sheepishly whilst rubbing the back of his neck. Yukinoshita proceeded to stare at him with an Ice cold glare and was about to retort when Hikigaya interrupted her.

"We should probably go inside its 3:35 and I don't want to miss the launch of the game" He said trying to change the subject before it could even start.

"Okay" Yukinoshita said slowly then started taking off her shoes and proceeded to walk into her apartment with Hikigaya walking in slowly after and closing the door. Suddenly Yukinoshita stopped in the hallway and turned around to look at Hikigaya "I am going to the bathroom, Please wait in the lounge room. If you try to do anything or peek, be aware that I have the police on speed dial and will also be prepared to defend myself" Yukinoshita said with the Iciest glare she could give. Hikigaya was visibly frightened; he wouldn't do anything even if he had the choice to anyway but he knew what Yukinoshita could do after watching her win that judo fight with agility alone. As always he answered with a witty remark.

"Hai Hai, not like there is anything to look at anyway" he said waving her off like a pest proceeding to walk towards the lounge room. Yukinoshita just stared daggers at the back of his head as he walked towards the lounge room. 5 minutes later Hikigaya heard a door open and close and turned around to see Yukinoshita in casual clothes (Basically the same as the close when they visited her with the same hairstyle) in her hair was the pink scrunchie Hikigaya got her for Christmas last year. He blushed slightly as he spotted in and became strangely interested in the coffee table.

"So are you going show me how to use it like you did Yuigahama or are you just going to sit there and rot in your own filth on my couch?" Yukinoshita said eyeing both his bag that he brought and the Nerve Gear box on the table.

"Oh yeah sure, lead the way" Hikigaya said getting up and following Yukinoshita to her room with both their Nerve Gears.

"If you try anything..." Yukinoshita started but was cut off by Hikigaya.

"Yeah I know and I won't do anything, so can I just show you how to use this thing there is only 20 minutes till launch and I hope it won't take as long as it did with Yuigahama to teach you how to use it" He said in an irritated tone.

"Sure, but you have been warned" Yukinoshita said with an icy glare. Hikigaya then proceeded to teach Yukinoshita how to use it, which was much quicker then it took with Yuigahama in 15 minutes they were all said and done ready to log in when the game launched. Hikigaya then looked at the clock on the bedside table.

"Shit its 3:55 I'm gonna miss the launch!" Hikigaya said frantically. He then thought he would try the impossible and ask if he could stay at Yukinoshita's place for the first play session they have then go home after at least teaching them the basics of the game first and then going home. He then stopped what he was doing and awkwardly turned towards Yukinoshita.

"Hey Yukinoshita" He asked cautiously "Can I stay here for the launch and first play session, basically once we meet up in game I'll teach you guys the basics of how to play then when we log off I will go straight home afterwards" He said somewhat frantically whilst fidgeting and looking down at the floor trying to avoid Yukinoshita's eyes.

Yukinoshita hesitated to answer but then came up with a solution " Sure… but don't you dare try anything I know since you explained it you have to lay down on a bed so I will allow you this one time to use my bed to play the game. You will lay on the right side of the bed and there should be at least a 30cm gap between us if you even think of trying anything I will immediately call the authorities and have you arrested" She said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Thanks…" Hikigaya said still looking down at the floor. After a minute of silence Hikigaya then explained to Yukinoshita the plan of what they are to do in game.

"So meet at Black Iron Castle entrance when we are in game alright? I will wait for you there" He said texting Yuigahama the details as well and got an instant response. Both Yukinoshita and Hikigaya lied down on the bed, an awkward silence between the two.

"Alright just copy what I do" Hikigaya said whilst putting his Nerve Gear on and getting in a comfortable position. He turned to look at Yukinoshita to see she done the same as him "Okay, repeat after me" Hikigaya said looking up at the roof of the room "LINK START" Hikigaya and his Nerve Gear spooled to life.

(Yukino POV)

I watched Hikigaya-kun as he put his Nerve Gear on and did the same. He then turned to me and told me to repeat what he does. He then looked back up at the roof and said "LINK STAR". I heard his Nerve Gear spool to life. At that point I was sure the system had start as Hikigaya-kun didn't respond to me calling him. I hesitated for a moment and thought what was about to happen. I steeled my nerves and proceeded to do what Hikigaya-kun did.

"LINK START" I said, I heard my Nerve Gear spool to life and then everything went black. All of a sudden I felt weightless, like I was falling then hundreds of colours flowed into my vison. Then multiple system checks came up and confirmed everything was alright. It then asked me to make an account so I did.

"Yukino should be fine shouldn't it?" I asked no one and proceeded to make my account. After a brief period of making my character avatar a box popped up asking to confirm it. I accepted and for some time nothing happened, then suddenly blue lights started flashing towards me and I felt weightless again. I opened my eyes to a medieval city plaza a giant black iron castle directly in front of me. 'That's where Hikigaya-kun must be' I thought to myself. Then suddenly a message bubble popped up in front of me. I instinctively tapped it and a message popped up in my face it said

"Welcome to Sword Art Online"

A/N: There you go a prologue I guess. As I said at the start I don't really know if I will complete this fic but I, myself like the concept and I would gladly read a fic of the same concept as this. Thanks for reading as well. See you if I continue this fic.

[1] Got the idea from And so, Yukino ends ties with the Yukinoshita's by onethirdparty.
