Prologue

Kazuto steps into the room, looking down at the tired Asuna sleeping quietly in the bed. He smiles, and decides to slide into the bed next to her. Even though she's sleeping, she smiles from his warm embrace next to her. It had only been recently that they had gotten married, but it feels like it's already been an eternity. Asuna turns to face Kazuto smiling.

"Goodmorning love," she says in a quiet, soft tone.

"Goodmorning," Kazuto says back.

Kazuto lifts an arm and brushes a few loose strands of hair from her eyes. At his touch, Asuna smiles and cuddles closer.

"Where have you been Kazuto," asks Asuna curiously.

"I was out shopping, then decided to check on SAO."

I look of pain crosses Asuna's face as she recalls the game. It was a very contradicting memory. It was the place she had met and had fallen in love with Kazuto, but it was also her prison for two years. She had almost been raped, twice, and almost killed numerous times, as was Kazuto.

"Is something wrong Asuna?"

"No, it's just sometimes the memories of that game."

There is a short pause in her sentence as she contemplates asking her next question.

"Why did you re-create the game?"

This question takes Kazuto by surprise, but he then realizes what's wrong.

"I know we had a bad past with the game, Asuna, but that was when it was controlled by someone who was corrupt, now that I run it, I can make sure nothing like that will ever happen to us again, I promise."

Asuna smiles then looks up to the sound of a baby crying in the distance.

"I'll be there in a moment Yui," says Asuna jumping up from the bed and walking to the baby crib.

Kazuto thinks back to the experiment he did. He was able to take the memories and personality of their daughter in Sword Art Online, and put them into a child, but only before the brain could develop. The experiment was long and stressful, because if it failed it could have killed the child, and made Asuna unable to have children again. After about eight months of stress, Asuna gave birth to a healthy child, and they named it Yui. Doing so, though, erased Yui from the game, but brought her into real life. Kazuto walks over to the dark haired child, which is now being cradled in Asuna's arms.

"There there, Yui, it's all okay, I'm right here," says Asuna soothingly.

Yui stops crying, and looks up at her mother as she starts singing the baby a lullaby. Asuna takes Yui into the kitchen to feed her. Kazuto walks back into his computer room and office.

I wonder what other's think of Sword Art after all of that happened.

Kazuto looks down at his AmuSphere, which is laying down on the computer, then over to his computer with the game information on it.

"Looks like SAO has a lot of people on right now," Kazuto says interestingly while walking closer to the screen.

"Kirito, could you hold Yui for me," Asuna says in the distance.

Kazuto quickly jogs into the kitchen and walks up to Asuna, taking the lively Yui into his arms. Yui curls up against her father's chest, and continues to suck on her bottle. Kazuto smiles as he looks down at Yui, then looks up and is greeted with a kiss by Asuna. Kirito smiles warmly, and craddles the young Yui in his arms.

"Sometimes I feel as if it might have been a good thing we got stuck there," says Asuna shakily.

"W-what," says Kazuto confused.

Asuna walks to his side, and lays her head on his shoulder.

"If we never got stuck there, I never would have met you, we never would have met Yui, and we wouldn't have ever fallen in love."

Kazuto's heart starts to beat faster, and his face grows flushed.

"I suppose you're right, I guess I wouldn't have stumbled across you in that meeting, or met up with you again in that field," says Kazuto recalling the memory.

"I guess that SAO was really a good thing after all."

Tears start to streak down Asuna's face, and she digs her face into Kazuto's neck and wipes her tears, then smiles.

"I don't want to imagine what my life would be like if I never met you."

"Neither do I, Asuna."

He rests his cheek agaisnt her head, and then kisses her forehead. There was a long quiet pause as they stood next to each other, taking in the moment. Yui had fallen asleep in Kazuto's arms, and started moving in her sleep. Kazuto smiles down at her and carries her back off to her crib. As he set her down, he kisses Asuna as she leaves for work, and then goes into his office, pulling up the server and coding for SAO, making sure everything was in check. School had just started a few minutes ago, so not many people were on, but there were still a few. Kazuto sends a message to the other developer, making sure they were up to date on everything going on with the game. Kazuto then rests back against his chair, taking in a deep breath of air.
