Fluffyfox05- That made me laugh, "I found something fun to read!" XD Thank for saying it's fun to read! And thanks for reading!

Moving on: I thank you all for your favourites and for reviewing this story! But I'll talk about that later, and now I give you... Game of Death: Chapter 4: Second floor


"This is where you live?" Shiki asked walking towards the door of a tall building. Vines outlined the door grew along the walls to reach the windows and roof. The windows were dark because of the lack of light and the time of day. The walls being a bright white made the building very noticeable at night, and it was very interesting to look at by itself, anyway. The cloaked teenager nodded. "I bought this when we were all teleported back to town on the day of SAO's release."

Shiki turned to him in surprise. "Where'd you get the money in that short amount of time?!"

"I imported all my col from my previous save file when I beta tested it."

Shiki looked at him suspiciously. "Neat, but don't you have to test the game inside some facility? How'd you even get the file imported?"

Karma chuckled nervously. "Well, I'm kinda a tech geek.. I play lots of video games, so I know how to move things about. I mean, importing the save file was easy, but think if I tried to import an item from a different game. That would cause a bunch of glitches in my NerveGear."

"Yeah, good point."

They had entered the house quickly after that conversation ceased. "It's weird if you think about it.." Shiki whispered to herself then sighing loudly, "To think this is how life will be from now on.. It's scary, and painful." She turned to Karma(Or Sho, that's how she knows him by), who, once they had entered the house, taken off his cloak and his bright, red hair could be seen perfectly. She paused taking a good look at Karma(Or Sho) for a good minute. "What?" He asked acknowledging her gaze. She chuckled. "Nothing.." She looked at him once more, but turned away quickly once their eyes met. She sighed and continued her statement. "People die everyday just from suicide. Others die from the game itself. It's painful and scary to wake up in a world that you know is not your own.."

She stopped once she felt something soft on her cheek. Her head was forcefully moved and stopped once she was staring into Karma pale golden eyes. "We're going to leave this world. We'll see the real light of day again, and once we do.." Karma leaned so they touched foreheads, "This will all seem just like a bad dream. One that you won't want to forget."

Noticing their position Shiki's face quickly turned red, and Karma's hand let go of her face and he had backed away.

"I'm going to go change, I'll be back to make dinner, okay?" He said and left without a trace.

Shiki sighed and took off her armour quickly. When she was done, she sat down in a nearby chair and waited for Karma(Sho). After a few minutes she heard footsteps behind her. She turned her head and found Karma standing there, no cloak, but in an apron allowing her to fully see his face. "What?" he asked noticing her stare once more.

"Say.." She said walking up to him, "Is your hair really red? Or is it just the game's avatar design?"

Karma burst into laughter. This made the blonde angry. "What? What's so funny?"

"You probably won't believe me, but this is my natural hair colour.."

Shiki needed a moment of realization. "Eh?" She squeaked out.

Karma chuckled some more. "I'm serious."

Shiki sighed and ignored his response. "Let's just make dinner.."

Time skip (A few minutes later)

"So.. You can cook?" She asked Karma who got out all the ingredients. He nodded and got out a knife. "I will admit though... It's kinda boring in SAO."

"How so?"

"Well, I mean, it's not as fun.. IRL I remember my mom teaching me how to cook. It was fun getting it all over the place. And when I'd accidently cut myself when cutting the tomatoes.. But in here, you can't experience that kind of stuff at all.."

Shiki stared at Karma once more noticing his sad, lonely expression. Smile.. She thought, please.. Her hands went and cupped Karma's face. "Don't say that!" She said standing on her tiptoes to reach his height, "We can make it fun! You've just got to imagine this house being your own and imagine me being a friend that you invited over to make something like a birthday dinner or something.."

She looked into Karma's eyes. "You said we're going to get out of here, so stay positive! I don't like seeing you like this! Smile.. Please!"

Karma smiled and brought her hands off his face. "If you can make me."
