A tragic day

Kirito recognized that he was just acting like a little kid, while he was in his twenties. Rebecca realized how disturbed he was sitting on his rock alone and decided to ask what was wrong.

"Hey Kirito, tell me what's wrong, you're not in your normal state..."h

"Mm, nothing, I found the solution to my problem," he said with a smile.

Later, the other two came to talk with Kirito, and they spent a good time. Kirito even went into the lake and swam with the Mirandils. It was already noon once he was done, and he was putting his clothes back on.

"I better apologize to Elza quickly, I acted like a real bum," he said

"Say hi to her for me as well!" Rebecca said.

Kirito smiled at her and said: "I promise you."

At the same time, he said those words, a great boom was heard coming from behind Kirito. The explosion was so great the smoke and a yellowish light a sign of first good be seen from the skies.

"Don't you live in that direction..." Erina asked.

Kirito looked at the smoke in horror and ran to the house as fast as he could.

He ran so fast he got to the prairie in less than a minute. Once he was in the prairie, he saw the house burnt, with Robinson next to his usual spot lying on top of his horse not moving at all. Elza was at the entrance of the house badly wounded in front of samurais and a Jinchuriki, a high-rank samurai (Not real). A Jinchuriki simply looks like a samurai with armour, but he had a cape with the Japanese writing order.

Kirito ran to help Elza and when the shinigan saw him, he said: "Oh see whose here, it took me a while to find you! The emperor wants to see you in person once again... You're a lucky one, being able to see the emperor twice!"

The Jinchuriki started laughing because he knew the emperor Shikadai would kill him for good.

Kirito ran next to Elza and checked if she was okay first.

"Elza, are you o~" Kirito saw a hole as big as a tennis ball at the level of her waist, "Did they do this to you?!"

"Don't worry about me, you idiot, the enemy is in front of you," Elza said grunting.

Before Kirito could turn his head to the enemies, the Jinchuriki dashed towards them with his katana emitting a powerful aura and sent a slash towards Kirito and Elza.

Kirito thought he could block it with his katana, but the blow was so powerful it pushed them back. Kirito and Elza were sent back to the house on fire. This attack made Elza's wound deteriorate. When they were sent by the powerful blow, it caused a lot of smoke and wood to fall. Kirito took advantage of that to run with Elza and hide in his room.

"We gotta find a way to stop the fire..." he said, "I never knew a Jinchuriki was that powerful..."

Elza was weak, but she managed to say: "You know Kirito, you'll find a lot of people, some good some bad, but continue pushing in life,"

"Elza, what are you talking about?"

"Your strong, but too reckless. As my last piece of advice, I'll give you, it's to never give up, try to always be better without changing. Just like a samurai, find your codes and respect them. I love you kid, you're like a son to me, so leaving you in these conditions... it hurts me, but I know you'll overcome the situation. Live life kid, live life..."

Elza still had her eyes open with a smile on her face, but she wasn't moving anymore. He tried to check her pulse, but nothing. He looked at Elza, and her smile reminded him of someone... his mother.

Someone he loved deeply, had died at the hands of the same person. Kirito didn't cry, but he could feel pain deep inside him.

"Search for him and bring him to me!" the Jinchuriki said from outside and the Kyoto samurais executed his order.

They entered the house, and once they found Kirito, they grabbed him by both arms and brought him back outside. Kirito was still in a moment of shock because of Elza's death. His face had no indication and his eyes were dilated as if he was tired.

"Well then, chain him up and put him in the carriage."

Kirito was not defending himself at all and was going to let himself be chained. He was just too traumatized after losing another person he cared about.

"Kirito! Don't give up, people still need you in this world!" The person who shouted out to Kirito was Robinson.

Kirito thought Robinson was dead too, but he was still alive. Robinson calling Kirito out woke him up. He looked at Robinson who had tears in his eyes, but he had an expression that showed he trusted Kirito with all his heart.

"Kill him..." the Jinchuriki said.

One of the Kyoto samurais grabbed him, and the other one took his katana out and was about to stab Robinson in the chest.

Kirito tried to help Robinson, but he was held tightly and firmly until at the moment the samurai was about to stab Robinson, a red aura came out of Kirito.

The Jinchuriki looked at Kirito in fear and exclaimed: "This aura, the last time I felt an aura like this was when the emperor Shikadai fought with the leader of the Shindo, how is it possible he possesses such a power!?"

Kirito released such an aura that it pushed the Kyoto samurais. Rock and ashes started to levitate and float around him. The people around them stopped their actions and looked at Kirito because of the pressure he released around him.
