You're Mine || Kirito x Asuna

Chapter 9: Visiting the World I Love

Guys I'm listening to sad sword art online songs as I'm writing this help ;o;

(Though I certainly advise playing the video up there as you read)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Kirito's POV*

To get rid of my confusion and frustration, I decided to take a break from life. Or at least, my real life. I grabbed my nerve gear headset and slipped it on. Then I laid down on my bed.

"Link start!" I said closing my eyes. When I opened them again I was In the virtual world of ALO. I was at my last save point, which was the tree of where our dear friend Yuuki had died. 

Has It really been that long? I thought as I stared up at the beautiful tree looming above. The day I had last logged in was March 29, the day of her death. It was now near the end of October. I hadn't been in a virtual world for a long time. 7 months to be exact, and my memory was lacking.

I pulled out my sword, the Excalibur, which I had forgotten I had. Its golden blade gleamed. I slashed with it a few times, renewing my attacks. 

I got the idea of going out to fight some things and started to run. Then I remembered I could fly so I got out my wings and flew.

I could see the whole village that surrounded the tree. Everything was coming back to me. 

Suddenly, I heard some rustling in my pocket. Then something popped out.

"Daddy!!" the little Pixie said hugging my arm.

"Yui?!" I seriously started falling, but I kept myself up.

"Daddy! It's been so long! Where's mommy?" her sweet voice filled the air around me.

"Uh, I don't know..." I looked to the distance. I thought about the days where me, Asuna, and Yui had our cabin on floor 22. The days where we didn't bother the front lines or the fighting, just relaxing and having fun. A tear started to form but I brushed it away.

"Daddy? What's wrong?" Yui asked.

"Yui, do you ever miss being in Sword Art Online?" I looked at her.

"What do you mean?" she got closer to me.

"It's just, I wish we could go back to when it was just you, me, and Asuna, nobody else, just us. Remember when we went fishing?"

"Yeah! You caught a great big fish!" Yui stretched out her arms. I laughed and so did she, remembering the fun times.

"Can we go back to that cabin?" Yui's face filled with questioning.

"Um, well," I suddenly remembered that Asuna had re-bought that house in Alfheim, "Yes! We can!" I grinned.

"Then let's go!" Yui had already started in the right direction. She was a navigation pixie, after all.

I followed her until our cabin was in sight. It looked just as it always had, surrounded by a green forest with the sun shining through the windows. Though one thing stuck out to me. Smoke was bustling out of the chimney. 

When we got on land I ran to the house. Yui followed, transforming into her child form. I opened the door and found Asuna sitting on the bed looking out a window. She was smiling but crying, her blue hair straight down her back, as beautiful as ever. When she noticed me she frowned but stood up.

"Kirito?"

I ran to her, embracing her in a hug. Yui hugged her too saying, "Mommy!"

"...Yui?" tears rolled down Asuna's cheeks. I began to cry myself.

"Asuna...I.." I didn't know what to say, as I had mixed feeling about this. I was extremely happy yet a deep sadness filled me.

"W-what're you two d-doing here?" Asuna said hugging us closer.

"We came to see you!" Yui was the one who spoke next.

"You knew I was here?" Asuna looked surprised.

"Well, we came to see the cabin, that is.." I explained.

"Thank you..." Asuna started to cry again, digging her head into my chest.

"Why were you crying?" I asked gently, brushing my hand through her hair.

"I...I've been coming here everyday after school. I think about you and how we used to be in this cabin. I really miss you, Kirito," Asuna gently cried into my chest.

"It's okay, I'm here now," I said.

"Yeah mama, We're all here together again!" Yui grabbed Asuna's hand. Then I picked her up and swung her around.

Asuna smiled and said, "You should come here more so we can stay in touch."

I looked at her and smiled back, "Okay! I'll try to if I can after school."

We talked for a bit and then decided to take a walk on the path by our house. It was the path that me and Asuna walked on when we first moved into this house.

"I remember all of this," I looked around in awe. It looked almost just like it did in sao.

Yui went in the middle of us and grabbed our two hands in hers. Me and Asuna both looked at each other and smiled, then looked at Yui. She smiled with us and skipped along.

The time came where we had to say goodbye. It was well over 7:00 p.m. and I probably missed supper. When I logged off Sugu and Mrs. Nanase were waiting for me there with concerned looks

"Kazuto, you missed dinner," Sugu frowned.

"Oh, uh...sorry," I sat up and removed my nerve gear.

"So you play those games," Mrs. Nanase started, "I've restricted my children from even touching those horrid things, after what happened a year ago..."

I was surprised to hear mrs. Nanase say that after her being so nice.

"Did they used to play?" Sugu asked.

"Kizumi did, but I don't know about Akiko.." Mrs. Nanase looked away and then to me, "Are you hungry at all?"

"No..." I trailed back.

"Alright then I'll let you be," She looked at me then at Sugu, and left.

Suguha sighed and said, "Goodnight, Kazuto," and left also.

I laid back down in my bed and thought to myself. I wish I could always be in the virtual world, away from this horrible one.

I dug my face into my pillow and somehow found sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, I made that pretty sad (the sad songs probably helped)

Upon writing this I was getting my answers from the Sword Art Online Wiki, so no I did not get anything wrong. I also found out that Asuna is a year older than Kirito! (don't shame me for not knowing) So sorry if this is confusing you, I will now make her 18 ಠ‿↼

So anyway, I'll see you next in chapter 10! Bye! ~Ashlie
