Asuna and Kirito's AfterStory Vol. 2

Suguha's Short Story

Flashback to 9 years ago: (1 years since Himes disappearance)

I was walking down the street like a normal 27 year old girl. I wanted to go to a smoothie place but they were already closed at 9 pm. I decided to walk around town for a bit, hoping that I would find something interesting. I found something really interesting 20 minutes later. Standing by an alleyway was Nagata Shinichi, his hands were in his green jacket pockets, his glasses looked cooler than ever. I didn't want to say anything at first but I was curious what he was up too. As I started to walk over to him, he noticed me and looked the other way with his hand behind his head. I noticed he was blushing.

"Hey Sugu, what's up?" He asked

It took a minute for me to respond because I was surprised how calm he's gotten since school. "Nothing much, hanging out by myself..."

"That's cool." He looks at me with calming eyes but still blushed.

"What are you doing out here?"

He shrugged. "I was planning on meeting some of my friends but they bailed out on the last second, some friends."

I laughed. "Ya, they're not loyal friends if they do that."

He smiled. "Want to go get some coffee?"

"This late?"

"Sure, why not. " he starts to walk down the street and I simply followed him.

We laughed and hung out throughout the night, last time I checked it was 11:30 at night. I remember getting home around 1:40 in the morning but I didn't mind because that was one of the best nights I've ever had.

1 year passed and he finally asked me to be his girlfriend, I said yes. Another year passed when he proposed to me in a park near my house, I said yes. When we got married, it was very emotional for everyone especially my mom. Kazuto teared up a couple times but they were happy tears. I almost teared up from seeing him in such an emotional state. The wedding was amazing, we sliced the cake, drank, and even slow danced. It wasn't as fancy as Kazuto and Asuna's wedding but it was still amazing.

6 months passed since the wedding and we decided instead of going on a honeymoon, we were going to stay home and pray for Kuroyukihimes safe return. We even managed to talk about having our own baby but we only talked about it a couple times. When we  found out that I was pregnant, we were so nervous and confused. We had no idea how it happened or when it happened. We talked about it and debated if we were going to keep it or not and that went on for a while. We decided to keep it, we wanted to know how it was going to turn out. When we told everyone they were thrilled about it, everyone jumped around excitedly and Asuna even told me she would do everything she could to help out. I thanked her of course.

I never imagined the pain I felt when the time came, now I know how Asuna felt when Kuroyukihime was born. 9 hours of labor and our son was born. He was an average sized boy, he wasn't to fat nor to skinny but he was filled with energy. We decided to name him Yato, the name spoke when we watched him sleep in his tiny crib. He was a heavy sleeper and he didn't wake up very often during the long hours of the night.

A year later Faith was born, Yato and Faith always played together. They had play dates very often and I always hung out with Kazuto and Asuna. Faith and Yato were inseparable, they would always get depressed when they had to separate. As they grew up, they had more and more fun together.

By the time Kuroyukihime returned, Faith was 9 and Yato was 10. Faith and Yato didn't see each other as often as they usually did because Yato was traveling with his dad all the time. And when school came around, he often took all day classes at an elite school. It was tough on him but Faith encouraged him to keep his spirits up, which he did.
