Chapter 1: Death's Door

"Kirito!" Asuna yelled blushing at Kirito's statement.

"What?" Kirito asked innocently. "It's true that your beautiful. " He said only making he blush more.

The couple was currently walking to the Yukki residence after their dinner date, their hands held in each others.

"Hey Asuna?" Kirito asked his face now serious. "Are you okay after the whole Yuuki incident?" Kirto asked concerned for Asuna.

"Yeah I'm fine." Asuna said quieter than usual making Kirito instantly regret asking.

Asuna realized this and decided to change the subject. "Hey Kirito."

"What." Kirito said

"Your it!" Asuna said quickly tapping Kirito on the chest before running off.

After Kirito processed what had happened he took chase after his girlfriend. 'Man she really is the Lightning Flash' Kirito thought noting her speed

After running down the sidewalk Asuna came to a crosswalk. She quickly looked both ways not wanting to get caught and seeing no cars started to cross the street. She was half way across the street when one of the worst moments of her life happened. A grey car sped around the corner going much faster than the speed limit heading straight towards Asuna. Asuna froze as her death was seconds away. Suddenly Asuna was pushed forward. She cried out before she hit the ground and looked back to see her worst nightmare. Kirito was in her place, he had pushed he away and now Asuna could do nothing but watch as the love of her life was struck by the car.

No words could describe how she felt as Kirito's crimson red blood flew through the air staining the road. The car continued on past the two until it turned the corner as just as fast as it appeared was gone.

"K-K-Kirito?!" Asuna said shocked, scared, and worried all at the same time. Asuna felt fear creep over her as she recieved no response. "Kirito!" She said louder as she crawled over to the limp figure of her boyfriend. "Kirito!" She cried as she held him in her arms feeling her life fade away.

-An hour later at the hospital-

'This is all my fault' Asuna thought as Kirito's Mom, Suguha, Liz, Scilica, Klein, Agil, Sinon, and herself waited outside of Kirito's hospital room waiting to hear any news about their friend. The girls were comforting Asuna the best they could but in the end did nothing to take her out of her glum state.

After what seem like a entirety a doctor walked out of the room getting the attention of everyone.

The look on the doctor's face was already telling Asuna the bad news but she waited for him to tell them himself.

"I have some bad news." The doctor said. "He's alive but in critical condition. He is barley awake but he demanded that I let you see him. In an hour we will do the surgery but the thing is..."

Asuna couldn't help but cry when she heard what he said next.

"He only has a fifty percent chance to live."

As the group entered the room Kirito weakly opened his eyes.

"Hey everybody." He said as he grinned.

First his Mother and Suguha hugged him softly trying not to hurt him then ruffled his hair and so on as everybody greeted all him until all but one had.

"Where's Asuna." Kirito asked looking around the room not seeing her.

Everybody looked as well but Asuna was not in the room.

"I'll find her." Suguha said as she took of out of the room. She eventually found her outside the hospital walking away. "Asuna." She called after her.

Asuna stopped.

"What are you doing?" She asked. "Kirito is waiting for you."

She hadn't noticed that Asuna was crying. She did when Asuna turned around to face her.

"I can't take it!" Asuna yelled as the tears rolled down her cheeks. "This is all my fault. Kirito is going to die because of me. I just can't take it. I'm going home and killing myself."

"Asuna!" Suguha yelled coldly. "Stop and think for a minute. Think about how selfish your being. Think about who would be effected by what your doing. Think about Kazuto... Think about how he would feel when he wakes up from the surgery and is told your dead."

"If he wakes up."Asuna yelled

"Well that's a chance you have to take. It's not any easier on any of us but you don't see any of us taking the easy way out and neither should you." Suguha said feeling the anger build up inside her.

"Your right. Kirito would never take the easy way out. Thank you Suguha."

"Don't worry about it you should be more concerned that to me Kiritois worried sick about you right now."

And with that they made their way to his hospital room.

Kirito couldn't help but smile when he say his girlfriend walk into his room. Everybody had left the room to give the two some privacy.

Asuna slowly made her way to the side of his bed and sat down. She didn't say a word, instead she buried her face in his chest and started to sob. "I'm so sorry... This is all my fault." She said.

Kirito held her in his arms. "Asuna I don't want you to blame yourself for this all I want you to do is move on if I don't survive.

Asuna looked him straight in the eyes clearly angry. "You know I could never do that." She said angrily.

"I know nut it was worth a shot." He said

They both stared into each others eyes before their lips met and they kissed one more time before Kirito was forced to face death's door.
