A True Family

Chapter 1: Reminiscing
It's been seven months since Takeru had been defeated. In that time, Kazuto was about to start his senior year, while Asuna had been attending summer college classes. Yui had also begun going to school.
Also, as a birthday gift to Kazuto from Midori and Suguha, the small family was now living in a small three bed, two bath, one story apartment.
Asuna was doing her classes in the summer so that she could be more able to take Yui to and from school without worry of interference from classes, homework, or projects.
Kazuto has also began working part time at a local GameStop. Kouichirou offered to pay their first few month's rent for them, but the two declined, saying that they'd be fine. The apartment was at about equal distance between the Yuuki and Kirigaya homes, so they would visit, or be visited often by friends or family.
Right now, Asuna is at the apartment, getting ready for Yui's birthday party that they were going to be celebrating after she gets home from school. Kazuto has today off from work and a half-day at school (what are the odds?) so he volunteered to pick Yui up from school. Asuna had set the cake in the center of the dining table. It was a custom order that had Kirito, Asuna, and Yui as their ALO avatars. Looking at the teenage Spriggan form her daughter had brought back memories of when they first saw Yui's avatar.
Flashback
Yui had been begging the two of them to play ALO with her all week, but because of homework, they simply didn't have the time. But, on Saturday, Yui's prayers were finally answered. Neither of her parents had homework, so they began to get ready to dive.
Kazuto looked to Yui, "Now you stay right where your avatar is, so we'll be able to find you more easily."
Yui nodded happily, "Ok Daddy!"
As soon as Kirito appeared in ALO, he found himself and Asuna in their log cabin, due to the fact that they hadn't played the game much since Yui entered the real world.
They quickly teleported themselves back to ALfheim, and did a player search under Yui. Once found, they both sent friend requests, which was quickly accepted.
When the two arrived at Yui's position, she waved, "Hi Mommy! Hi Daddy!"
Asuna gasped in complete shock, "Yui!? Is-Is that really you?!" She asked.
Yui made a slight laugh, "Yep! What do ya think?" She asked as she made a quick twirl.
When Kazuto saw his little girl in the body of an attractive teenage girl, he fainted. Asuna, while laughing on the inside, went to help Kazuto up.
Flashback end
Asuna laughed at the memory of her in-game husband freaking out, as well as when he killed that one Gnome that tried flirting with Yui.
She then proceeded to set the presents on the counter, hoping Yui would like what she and Kazuto each got her.
As she thought back to when the Gnome flirted with Yui, she found herself remembering when Suguha finally announced that Nagata was her boyfriend
Second Flashback
Midori was watching TV with Yui in the living room when Kazuto and Asuna walked in the door, "We're home!" Kazuto called.
Yui then ran over to them with her usual greeting, "Welcome back Mommy and Daddy!" The two smiled as they walked with their daughter back to the living room.
Midori noticed someone was missing, "Kazuto, where's your sister?" She asked.
Kazuto shrugged, "She said she needed to go do something first, she said she wouldn't be too long." Midori hummed, wondering what it could be.
Not long later, Suguha returned home with Nagata following. When she brought him into the living room, she took a deep breath, "I believe everyone here has met Nagata, correct?" Everyone nodded.
"Well…we have an announcement to make." Nagata said.
The two interlocked their hands and said, "We've been dating!"
Yui clapped, happy that her Aunt Sugu was in a relationship with someone.
Midori and Asuna shared knowing glances, and Kazuto was being kept away from Nagata because of Suguha not wanting her brother to kill him.
After Kazuto calmed down, Midori smiled, "Well I guess I should say that Asuna and I have known for some time now." She said, making all teenagers, minus Asuna, yell, "WHAT!?"
Second Flashback end
Asuna shook her head with a smile. Suguha was still dating Nagata, though they had their fights, one or the other, if not both would apologize before too long.
Kouichirou was also seeing somebody, but Asuna had yet to meet the girl.
Asuna soon finished all the preparations with a sigh of relief, "Finally…it's all done." She said as she rubbed the sweat from her forehead.
She took off her apron and hung it on a hook in the kitchen before going over to the couch to lay down. As she laid there, she decided to recall some other memories.
Her laying down, for one reason or another, reminded her of the day when they brought Kazuto home from the hospital.
Third Flashback
Asuna had her arm around his waist as the two walked slowly up to their room. Once there, he set him carefully onto the bed. He was still feeling soreness and was told not to do any more than was absolutely necessary until the soreness disappears.
Asuna smiled down at him, "Anything I can get you, Kirito?" She asked sweetly.
Kazuto smiled, "I'm fine right now, Asuna. Thanks."
Asuna checked in on him periodically throughout the remainder of that week. Eventually, Kazuto finally asked, "Why are you being so careful with me? I'm not exactly fragile."
Asuna looked away for a moment before replying, "Because I'm so grateful for how you fought Takeru for Yui, that I wanna do everything I can to repay you."
Third Flashback end
Asuna smiled fondly. The two had managed to keep the romance alive by making Friday their designated date night.
Yui was happy to be going to school, but Kazuto and Asuna never hear her talking about any friends. And whenever Asuna is waiting to pick her up, she's always the first out by a whole half a minute.
This confused Asuna, but she decided not to think much of it. If something was wrong, Yui would've told them. Now Asuna simply had to wait for Kazuto to return with Yui.
(A/N: Alright, not the longest opening, but it covers what you guys need to know. The flashbacks are all things I wanted to put into Book 1, but didn't for one reason or another. Review please!)
