Fandom Sword Art Online: The Front Lines

[Britt-21]

Maoni just nodded softly and walked out, not bothering to look back now that she was still pink in the face. That soon changed when she thought about what could have happened. They could have kissed but they didn't. Now maoni's face was red. As she made it down the stairs, she spotted kino and jep. Before they could stop her, she rushed out and towards the town. Maoni really didn't want to answer to them about her reddened face.

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha looked down at Kino for a second before he placed one of his hands in front of Kinos face, so he didn't have to see the puppy eye trick that normally works. He sighed softly again before he said. "Alright, alright. I'll join you, but you gonna convince Hisashi and Maoni to join too, willingly I should add."

"Well... You see... I already signed us up... Hehe, and it automatically added the whole party... Hehe." kino said as the message notifying them all that they have been added to the tournament showed up. "Hehe." Kino laughed as he hugged Jep's foot. "Don't be mad... Be glad." He said with a smile.


@Robin man

 

[Robin man]

Jepithas eyes widened before he glared at Kino. He reached down and he grabbed the back of his head and he picked him up, so now he was looking him in the eyes and said. "I'm finding it really hard to be glad right now." He said through his teeth angrily.


@Leone

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino laughed nervously again. "At least it isn't as bad as me sneaking out of the room last night... I mean... What?" Kino tried frantically to change the subject. "What a beautiful day. Look at those... Nice gray clouds." He said. "So warm and welcoming, right?"


@Robin man

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha squeezed his head a little. "Oh I already know about you sneaking out last night, I woke up and you weren't in your bed, so I already know about that." He said before he let go of his head, basically dropping Kino onto the ground.


@Leone

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino stood and rubbed his head. "Jeez. You don't have to be so aggressive. And JESUS CHRIST YOU HAVE YAOI HANDS! I would like to leave the game with my head in tact." Kino noticed Maoni running by. "Hey Maoni wait up." He caught up to her and grabbed her arm, noticing her redenned face. "Something wrong?" Kino asked. "You're face is like... Really red."


@Britt\-21

 

[Britt-21]

It was too late, kino grabbed her and kept her from running any fearther. Of course he had to ask her a question which caused her to clear her throat "Dont worry about it." she quietly took a breath and put her hands on her hips "What do you need? I was planning on going to a blacksmith to make a new sword." he couldnt know what happened between herself and Hisashi

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha sighed to himself as he started to look through his inventory for some of his old gear. Unknown to most players, even to Kino. Jepitha used to be a fighter for tournaments and such, he used some older gear that made specifically for PVP, it's been more then a year since Jepithas last fight, so he had no idea where any of his old gear would be. He started walking toward Kino and Maoni, his main focus still on his inventory.

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

"Nothing," Kino responded. "I have a feeling that you're lying, but I won't pry." He turned too see Jep walking over, his face in his inventory. Using a special skill set called being nosy, Kino made his way behind Neo and peeped over his shoulder, seeing the armor. "What's that?" Kino asked.


@Robin man

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha swiped his inventory menu, which now showed some random items. "I'm just looking through my inventory, and if you decide to try to look through my stuff again without my permission. I will use every item in my inventory to make your end." He threatened. If there was something that gets Jepitha ready to kill is to invade his privacy, Kino is one of the few people that Jepitha doesn't beat up immediately.


@Leone

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino activated his puppy dog eyes. But these aren't just any puppy dog eyes, these are the sad puppy dog eyes. The ones Kino uses when he has just been scolded. His lip began to quiver and that's when the magic began. Kino began to sob about how sorry he was and how he was only trying to be a good friend and how he thought Jep cared about him, and about how mean Jep was.


@Robin man

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha sighed as he looked down at Kino. "Alright, I'm sorry that was an ass. Just get up, and I'll tell you what I was doing when the time comes." He said softly.


@Leone

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino stood and looked back at Jep with a smile. "Yay!!! I have a feeling this is going to be awesome." Suddenly something came to his mind. "Hey Jep... Is Hisashi still in the party?" Kino asked, his voice taking on a more serious tone.


@Robin man

 

[Robin man]

"Last I checked he left the party. I haven't been able to invite him again. Why do you ask?" Jepitha said as he crossed his arms, he noticed Kinos tone change. To Jepithas knowledge, Kino never sounded serious, so this got his attention.


@Leone

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino sighed. "Truth be told,.. I can't see myself in a party with a player killer. Huh... We call them player killers as if the people they kill aren't actual people. As if their NPC's." He turned to Jep. "Well they're not. The guy he killed could've had a family... A wife... Kids... No one can ever get back what Hisashi took from that family, and I'm sure we all know what its like to lose someone."


Kino's eyes watered a bit. "I guess what I'm really trying to say is... I don't ever want to be around Hisashi again... I'd rather forget about him altogether."


@Britt\-21

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha closed his eyes as he listened to Kino. "Ever heard of a thing called forgiveness Kino? Just listen to Hisashi for a moment. He just did the same thing that I would do in his shoes. He protected the three of his from him, that Blood-Orge leader seems like someone that wouldn't stop until he killed us." He said softly.


@Leone

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino signed. "BULLSHIT HE DID ANY OF THAT TO PROTECT US." Kino yelled. "I think all of us are forgetting something... We are in a game, where we don't just lose... We die! People have been driven to do some crazy things since this started. His way of coping was joining a dark guild so that he could feel protected. This game has driven us all to do things that we wish we hadn't, but that doesn't justify the murder of a human." Kino grew emotional. "Do you know how it feels to lose everything because someone can't keep their god damn feelings and selfish reasons out of something? Do you?!? People in that mans life are going to have to live with out a father... A husband... A son. And all because of Hisashi. But he doesn't seem remorseful. Not one god damn bit. And if you wanna take his side, then be that way."


Kino opened his party menu and left the party. "Have fun doing the competition. I won't stand by murderers and those who support murder." Kino turned to walk out then stopped. "By the way... If that had been you who killed him, I would hate you too." And with that he walked off towards the next town.


@Robin man

 

[Britt-21]

Maoni hadnt said anything simply because she didnt want to interfere. It was between Kino and Jep. But that resulted in Kino leaving the party and leaving the party "Kino.." with a sigh, she shook her head "Come back here Kino, you tell me to come back and then you leave? What kind of person are you?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips.

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha followed Kino, before long he put one hand on his shoulder, which should stop Kino for a moment. "Now hold on, let me explain my reasoning. And if you think I'm letting you leave my supervising, you're terribly wrong Kino." He told him.


@Leone

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino turned and faced Jeep, arms crossed in front of his chest. "What do you have to say to me? And it isn't like you're my dad or anything. I can go where I want and do what I want... Seems to be you're rule with Hisashi." Kino said. He turned to Maoni. "That's before you all began supporting a murderer.


@Britt\-21

 

[Britt-21]

"Supporting a murderer, well sorry honey, thats how the world works." her eyes narrowed "You forgive and forget. Just know we're the people you can trust. This whole game is a trust issue pool and only some wont kill you." Kino was just being a big baby "You dont have to support hisashi but you do need to be there for him to stop him if he tries this ever again"

 

[Robin man]

Jepitha shook his head as he looked at Kino. "No, I'm not your dad, but I'm close enough to be one while we're here. And listen to Maoni, this is a world of forgive and forget. I know playing with a player killer is nothing you want to do, but I'm not letting someone go off into God knows where and dying alone, just because of a single mistake. Look at me for an example."


@Leone

 

[Loke Fullbuster]

Kino glared at the two. "This isn't a world of forgiving and forgetting. Will any of you honestly forget what happens hear? Will you forgive Akihiko Kayuba for being the cause of thousands of people's murder?" He looked around waiting for the other two to answer. "I thought so." Kino opened his trade menu and set up to trade the sword Maoni had given him. "Take it back." Kino told her. "If you three cant put yourself in the shoes of that man's family, then you're too far gone."


On a personal level, Kino understood the pain Hisashi would be putting on that family. It wouldn't be going anywhere. It was a pain that would linger forever, until the end of time. "Take the sword Maoni." He repeated.


@Britt-21 @Robin man

 

[Britt-21]

Maoni shook her head "I'm not taking it back" she hit the deny button and she put her hand down "Someone like Akihiko is the one you should hate. He killed more then one person, Kino. Unlike Hisashi who killed just one. Dont ever compare a mass murderer to Hisashi. If it was for us, and to keep us safe..I know its a lame excuse but what can you do, really? He's one of your friends, If you just turn your back on him because of one thing..well..I guess you werent his friend in the first place."
