This is a retelling of my least favorite arc in, "Sword Art Online," which is the, "Fairy Dance Arc." I am going to attempt writing my own version of the story that is much darker and focuses on things that the original arc didn't focus on. The story follows Kirito, after he wakes up from beating, "Sword Art Online." He learns that Asuna didn't wake up with him and he now struggles to find a reason to keep trying to live his life. Once he learns that Asuna is still alive in a different game, he must find the motivation to become the player that he once was in, "Sword Art Online," in order to save her from a threat unlike anything he has faced, before. I hope you all enjoy and as always, thank you very much for reading!

Kayaba's Greatest Creation
I found a medow of flowers near a river and decided to lay down watching the clouds, they look so real, they are real. At least to me, this all feels so real. "You did it dad. You've totally made me forget about my life outside this game, how you destroyed so many peoples lives. You happy now?" I say to myself i take my eyepatch off and just enjoy this moment. A smile crept into my face. The sky is blue sun shining. It's beautiful. "Akane Kayaba." Once someone says my name i freeze. How does anyone know that name. I instantly stand up and grab my sword turn around and take a stance. but i stand down once i see his face. "Kirito." i say. He gave me a small smile. "Who is Akane?" I ask trying to play dumb. "Xena, I know who you are. I thought from day one that i knew who you were but then i couldn't remember where I seen you. But i remember the second i herd the Pink Shadow took out the boss on 32nd floor. You're Akihiko Kayabas daughter." I just fall to my knees and begin to cry. I've hid this for so long and tried to forget about my being his daughter. •I'm a crappy writer so this story might not be that good.

KiritoxReader SAO Your father is the co-CEO of the company behind Sword Art Online. A genius in VR development-and your hero. When SAO launches, he urges you to play. "You know the system. You can handle it. Just... stay hidden. And trust me." So you do. But once inside, the truth hits-there's no logout. Ten thousand players are trapped, and your father isn't trying to save you. He helped create the trap. Now you're not just fighting to survive-you're fighting to undo his mistake. To expose the truth. To escape the world he helped imprison you in. Then you meet him-the Black Swordsman. Cold. Mysterious. Unstoppable. Fighting beside him gives you purpose, maybe even something more. But he's growing closer to her-Asuna. Will he choose you?

When they reach her, they expect her to be awake and send a sarcastic remark for not knocking, but instead, she is still unconscious and shows no signs of waking up soon. Everyday, they visit her, or Evey few days, but still she lays there, unmoving. Then, Kirito gets an email from Agil with a picture, and in it was of a girl with snow white hair and icy blue eyes and wings made of crystal. Kirito tells Asuna to wait for him, that he'll save Ume, and return. But what are these feelings that he thought he only felt for Asuna? ~*~ I do not own any characters except for my OCs [slight mature content but not enough to make story mature; mature scenes are very short and not too bad] {book two}Complete
