Alicization Twisted

Chapter 30

<Kirito's PoV>

It was the dreaded Friday... Asuna was taking me to the doctors for my check up. She has caught me a couple of times awake from my nightmares and that's caused more worry. And now that we have Yui she wants to take extra precaution. Yui was still asleep probably needs some at this point, but I guess she'll wake up sooner rather than later. But first I have to try and manage to slip past Asuna and go alone to the doctor's. "Don't even think about trying to slip past me Kirito!" It was Asuna's voice as she came back from her bath. "I didn't even move an inch!" I say back completely flustered that she knew.

"You had that look on your face... and even if you went alone, I'd still come along and see your report because I am the one who booked it in the first place" She said as she made her hair into her usual style. I sighed, I guess I'll have to accept what is going to come my way. Hopefully it doesn't affect our relationship... ahhh what am I saying - Asuna is very understanding but then again I've hidden many things from her. But I just don't want her to feel like I am a burden...

"Let's go, I'll keep Alice in our room to watch over Yui, but the appointment shouldn't take to long" Asuna said and she held my hand and we began to walk out of our dorms. It was a silent walk to the doctors, I was getting increasingly nervous once we entered the hospital. We approached the receptionist and asked her if the doctor was available right now, "Yes go right through! Room 5" She said and we headed down the same path I always talk for the last 6 months. For some reason my thoughts went fuzzy but I shrugged it off as Asuna knocked on the door.

There was a faint voice telling us to come in and Asuna entered first. "hello there Miss Yuuki!" The doctor said in a pleasant tone. But when I walked in he looked confused. "Kirito your appointment is later, I have to talk to this lady first" He said and I could see Asuna give me a confused stare. "No doc, this appointment is for me... but Asuna booked it" I said and then he sat back in his chair. "Ah I see, anyway take a seat and then we'll talk for a bit and see how things have gotten on" He began.

"Sorry, but what do you mean things have gotten on?" Asuna asked. I gulped.

"Oh, Has Kazuto not told you?" He said looking at me and I looked away. Asuna grabbed my hand and I looked towards her. She gave me a stare and then looked at the doctor and shook her head. "Ah, well for the last 6 months Kirito and I have been discussing his problems of lack of sleep and the bullet incident" Shinji said and I saw Asuna give him a stare. She was silent for a few minutes and I was beginning to get worried. "Hey Asuna... I'm sorry I didn't tell you... I just didn't know how" I say and look away.

"Kirito kun... please remember I would never judge you ever! I always want to help you! So don't be afraid to tell me any of your problems. And if you think that your a burden you are wrong! All of us like who you are... and we consider you like a leader" Asuna says and I was surprised to hear all of this. Ah I need to stop thinking negative... but for some reason I could not think properly without my head pounding. I tried to remember why we were here in the first place... but everything was fuzzy and I held my head in some pain. "Kirito... what's wrong!" Asuna holds me and I just shake my head.

"I don't know... I can't think or remember anything" I say and the doctor stands up from his chair and checks my head. "Hmm, there's some damage on your brain... those parts are spreading to much... I've got a surgery prepared. Once it is done you will be free to leave" The doctor said and I lay on the bed and went into a deep sleep.

<Asuna's PoV>

I couldn't believe that Kirito kept this with himself for the past 6 months. I was angry at him but I felt pity as I saw him being treated by the doctor. He's had such a tough life... but why does he always have to hide things? Does he think that he's reliant on us... or he is a burden? I wish he would stop thinking this. The doctor finished with Kirito and approached me in the room outside and sat beside me. "Has Kirito told you anything about this?" He asked and I shook my head sadly. "Well he was like this when I first met him... always so secretive. I know he's from the dark territory but he's got to make the effort to let go of his old personality" The doctor said and I couldn't help but agree.

"Is there a way... to make him move on?" I ask. I then see him give me a worried look.

"Well I would suggest take a break in your relationship... but that I don't know how it will end. It's a risk..." He said and I didn't like the sound of that but if it made Kirito more better things had to be done. "What do you mean break?" I ask. "Well just spending more time with other people than him you see... and he should do the same and gain people's trust and then hopefully he becomes open and comes back to you!" The doctor said... it sounded like a good idea. But I was afraid what if he found another girl... no Kirito wouldn't do that! "Sure if this makes Kirito better then I will be down with this plan!" I say and the doctor sighs.

"Your love really is strong for him... alright Kirito should be done now... so discuss this with him and I'm sure you two will come to an agreement" He says and opens the door and let's Kirito out. He looks rather fresh but still has bags under his eyes.

"Kirito lets head home... we need to talk as well" I say and hold his hand and take him back to our dorm... Gosh this is gonna be tough
