Chapter 1: Introducing Demon #1 and #2

Hey, first fanfiction. How great is this :D? Anyways, the summary didn't give enough space so lemme clarify some things. Yes, Xertic and Asuna will be in a relationship soon enough. So don't hate. Also, this is a reality where Kirito and Asuna never got together. Some of you may say "Then where does Yui come in?" or "Why would Asuna date a demon?" If you guys want these answers, they will be answered in future chapters (I have some plans already in mind. :3). ANYWAYs, please enjoy the story.

-2025 years earlier-

Xertic felt like he might explode if he heard another drop of water fall onto the stone floor. Of course, this was very possible. Combustion was common with demons. It had been two years since Xertic and his twin brother, Gamelus, who was fast asleep, were locked into the jail cell. Apparently stealing Satan's dagger is frowned upon.

"Heh, whatever, I'll get it back," Xertic says in daemon as he licks his jagged teeth with a forked tongue and looks over at a mirror. His brown hair covered a quarter of his emerald eyes, which blazed around the black slits that acted as pupils. "I need to get out of this prison." Gamelus stirs and looks up.

"X-xertic...?" The small boy asked with a whimper. The two demons were identical, except Xertic was a little taller and was born before Gamelus. This caused the younger twin to seem a little more helpless, and the older twin had to look after him. Xertic looks over and smiles.

"Yeah, don't worry, the plan is almost ready." Gamelus nods and brushes a strand of hair from his eye.

"When is Drake coming-"

"Shush, would you? Do you want to give us away?" Xertic glares at his brother and looks over as the door opens. A demonic guard walks into the room and shoves two trays at the two without saying a word. After slamming a door, Xertic looks at the black sludge in his plate. "It's safe to come out now, Drake." A small lizard's head pops out of the black sludge and blinks its eyes.

"Good evening, masters," it hisses at the two "Are we ready to go?"

"Did you get the key?" Gamelus whispers to Drake. The lizard crawls out from the plate and swings a key ring around on its tail. "

What kind of loyal pet would I be if I didn't follow orders?" Xertic takes the key ring and smirks.

"We will just have to see, now won't we? Hellhound form." Drake, as a shapeshifter, could take any form of anything, and was often used as a ride for the two. After unlocking the door, Xertic helps Gamelus on the flaming beast and gets on himself. A black chain forms in Xertic's hands as reigns and he winks at his brother "Time to run away to the world of humans, you ready?" Gamelus smiles and nods affirmatively. Xertic snaps the chains and Drake dashes down the hall.

-2025, Tokyo-

Kazuto sips his lemon soda and smiles at the drunk Klein in front of him. "Seriously, man, how many drinks have you had?" Klein scratches his head.

"Ahhh... what number comes after 5 again?" Agil smiles and looks at Kazuto.

"Far too many."The two laugh as Liz and Asuna walk over.

"Klein, are you drinking too much again?" Asuna says, sitting down.

"No! ...Yes? I dunnnoooo..." Klein sighs and Agil takes the glass away from him.

"Good call, Agil." Liz flashes the bartender a thumbs up and sips her soda. Asuna feels her phone vibrate in her pocket. Now who could that be? I don't think I'm past curfew... She takes her phone out and looks at the number.

"Oh god..." Hoping she was right, Asuna answers the phone. "Hello?"

"Yes, it isn't a mistake. I'm back, Asuna." Asuna instantly smiles at the voice and quickly thanks Agil for the drink before leaving in a hurry.

-a few moments later-

Asuna hurries down the road, her boots pounding against the sidewalk. It had been five years since he disappeared, but he was back. "I can't wait to see him again!" Sure, she shouldn't be this excited, it wasn't like a boyfriend had came back from a trip. But to Asuna, this was the next best thing. Turning a corner, she ends up at the fountain in the center of town and stops. She sits down on the edge and looks around.

"Man, five years and you still remember pur meeting place? Im officially impressed, Asuna." A boy lands on the ground in front of her and brushes dirt off his pants with black gloves. Before he could register anything, Asuna had her arms around him.

"Xertic! Five years and you still remember what I look like." The boy smiles and puts an arm around her.

"What, do you think 3 billion years is an old age?" Asuna was the only human alive that knew of Xertic's secret. They never told her parents that Xertic was a demon, and they weren't planning to. The two separate and he looks her up and down. "You have grown a lot. 17, right? You havent been doing anything dirty yet, have you?"

"Shut up! No I haven't, for your information..." Asuna shoves his shoulder and Xertic rolls his eyes. "Well, come on, we have a lot to catch up on." Asuna motions Xertic to follow her back towards the bar. After a few minutes of running, Asuna stops and opens the door. Agil and Kazuto look over.

"Asuna, you made it back here fast," Agil says, pouring a glass of scoth, "What was that call about?" Asuna giggles and steps to the side.

"May I present to you, Xertic Ravenclaw, my best friend 3 years ago." Xertic steps through the door and instantly checks his gloves. Whew, Asuna didn't rip these off in her frenzy. Kazuto turns and nods.

"Im Kazuto, or Kirito. So, you knew Asuna?"

"Unfortanately, yes," Xertic smirks and the two boys shake hands. Asuna scoffs at the comment and sits back down. Xertic then nods and smiles at Agil. "So, back in the real world?"

"Yeah, but it's a lot harder without an anvil or inventory to keep stock in this place." Agil spreads his arms out wide and Kazuto raises an eyebrow.

"Wait, Xertic, don't tell me you heard of SAO."

"No, black swordsman, I was in it with my brother."

Kazuto smiles and looks at Asuna "You two do have something in common." At this moment, Xertic and Asuna were looking at each other and spoke in unison.

"What were you doing in SAO?'
