Yuuki Asuna had just finished her day at school, walking home with her school uniform on and her book bag slung against her back. It was a long and tiring day, the poor girl drained and walking almost lifelessly back home. She walked alone but it didn't bother her. The silence wasn't so bad and it gave her time to herself. Normally after school she would log onto her Nerve-Gear and play online with her friends, but she decided that tonight she would take it easy and sleep early. Life was more settled after SAO, but unfortunately her and Kirito split due to private issues. They were still good friends, just not together. Asuna unlocked her front door and walked inside, closing the door shut before exhaling a long sigh. Her back hit the door as she laid against it in exhaustion. It wasn't like her to become this tired but the upcoming exams left her weary. Silently she slipped out of her attire and dressed up in her pajamas , the soft silky material hugging her curves and bringing her a great sense of comfort. She stretched her body and yawned, heading upstairs toward her bedroom to nap. Maybe after she slept she would feel more energized and could study more, perhaps even get a few hours of game time in. She fell on top of her mattress, her body sinking into the foam-like material. It felt like pure bliss, her eyes shutting instantly as she placed the covers on top of her small frame. She nestled into a tight ball, her eyes opening before gradually closing once more, this time for good as she drifted off to slumber. It was weird though, because it was nothing but darkness that clouded her vision. She normally had dreams scurrying around as soon as she slept but not today. Perhaps if she slept a while longer a dream or vision would enter inside of her restless mind. Maybe even something she wasn't expecting. It felt as if her body was lifting up, her hair being tossed around in the wind but she didn't wake up. Instead, her dreams began to shift and twirl, an image of her floating down a space-like tunnel. Her hair danced with the cosmic winds, her pajama dress being ruffled and contorting everywhere. The speed was superhuman, the stars blurred together that they were becoming streaks of light as she went her way. Her eyes closed, but this wasn't a dream like she thought it was. Gently she felt her body lay against something more hard than a mattress. Was it a floor? This 'dream' was becoming more strange by the seconds. It took a minute for her to open her eyes, wanting to stay shut from lingering exhaustion. Everything was blurry at first but the color of the room wasn't her bedroom. This caused her to instantly it upwards, her head moving around rapidly to inspect the room. It was large yet small, books delicately placed in their shelves, a desk with a chair near the corner of the room. Was this a study room? She rubbed the sleep out from her eyes before looking around again. Was this a dream and she was still sleeping? It didn't feel like a dream. It felt like reality. Where am I? Asuna whispered under her breath, her palm resting on her forehead as if she had a headache. What was going on?!
