Here is another OneShot. Basically Suguha just goes on a rant here. A back story to how this story came about to me was that I was taking a meaningful nap in the afternoon, and I woke up. After that I went and ate lunch, it was delicious. I was feeling tired again so I went back to my bed to sleep again. My ipad sat suspiciously on my pillow. So I picked it up and stuck the charger in before continuing my nap. Another hour or so past and I woke up again. This time the spirit of writing possessed me and I wrote this whole story on my fully charged ipad.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sword Art Online. I just own my ipad, however sadly I can't upload stories from my ipad so I stole a laptop that had internet connection and typed the whole story again.

Why am I here, you ask?

My heart pounded as I sat at the back seat of Onii-san's bicycle. My arms tightened around Onii-san's belly, butterflies danced in my stomach. We were going to the fairground. When we were little Onii-san had brought me to many fairs before, but this was the first time since all that had happened. Time sure took its time on the road, it felt like hours before we arrived.

Usually, it was supposed to be just the two of us, however Onii-san invited Asuna-san to tag along. I had no problems with that, after all one day she would be part of our family. Onii-san could only love Asuna-san, so I resolved to let my own feelings fade away. But when they hugged, my fist clenched. I don't know why.

"Let's go to the arcade first." Onii-san suggested. Asuna-san and I nodded in unison. I walked behind them the whole way. Hand holding, laughing comfortably together, feeding each other snacks. On the outside I smiled at their cuteness, but secretly deep down I twisted in dissatisfaction.

Onii-san won prizes left and right, all for Asuna-san. I stood aside and cheer each time Asuna-san squeezes Onii-san in gratitude. In the past, I was the recipient but now he only has eyes for her. I yearned for those moments again, if only a time machine had been invented.

The roller coaster ride traumatized me. Only two people per car, so I sat behind them. In between yells of horror, I glimpsed the close intimate moments they shared as Asuna wrapped her arms around Onii-san's neck. Or when they screamed and cried together. Through the ups and downs of the entire ride, I felt that I had flown far from them even though I sat approximately fifty centimeters behind.

"Please Kirito-kun, anything but this. I will just wait till you come out." Asuna begged. In front of us, a forty meter tall building painted black stood, with its shattered windows and spooky theme music playing.

"Come on Asuna, see the people are coming out laughing." Onii-san pointed to the exit. True enough, a group of girls giggled as they past.

I joined in on the persuasion. "Asuna-san, they say that if you face your fears while holding hands with someone, you are destined to be with that person." I said that, my lips ignorant of my heart's desires.

She relented and we went in. But I soon found out that I was the one being left behind. We entered a dark room; the only source of light came from a small torch that we were provided with. The floor boards creek every step, blood oozed from the walls. There was a crooked door opposite the entrance. Onii-san waited a moment before turning the knob.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

A loud scream came behind us. We quickly darted inside the other room. Asuna felled to her knees, one arm holding onto Onii-san. Her breaths were short and quick. Onii-san immediately felled to her side to tend to her.

Since Asuna was easily frightened, I knew that it was only natural that she would need Onii-san's protection. On the other hand, I practiced kendo for most of my life, I'm stronger than most of the people around me, some were even afraid. But I am still a girl. My heart is vulnerable; I'm not immune to everything.

Falling spiders. Ghostly howls. Mummies chasing. Object vanishing. Pictures moving. Blood spilling. It's too much.

And so I ran away.

I ran and ran, far from this haunted house attraction, far from anymore awaiting surprises. Most importantly, far from Onii-san.

The stars tonight shine ever so brightly, each individual ones. They seem so close, yet in reality they are millions of kilometers apart. Just like me and Onii-san.

I realized my feelings can never be forgotten. We will always be linked in some way, whether it's me wathing them from behind. Or when I wished I was Asuna. Destiny has already laid a cruel path for me.

That's why I'm here. By the river bank, a place where I could think for myself.

I'm sorry for saying weird things, Recon. Thanks for listening.

Well, that's the end to this story. Be sure to review the story and if you would like you can pm me. See ya.
