A/N: I have two SAO stories that I am writing, so please let me know which story you want updated faster. Looking forward to all your reviews on this Secret of SAO sequel, that you have been waiting for.
If you are not favoriting nor following this story, because you like the other one better, know that is not how I am judging this. I will determine which one to update faster by reviews. If no one favorites or follows this story, I will drop it, assuming that no one likes it at all. Reviews are encouraged either way on both stories. If you like the other better, then just leave me a comment on that particular story, saying so.
I am not trying to pressure you into anything. I just don't want people to not follow this story as if it counted as some kind of vote or something.
At their new house, Kazuto had shown up early, just like he promised to Asuna. He helped her set the table and smelled the food, that tempted him to give up on waiting for the guests.
The doorbell rang.
Yui sprung up from the table. "I'll get it!" Yui couldn't grab the doorknob. She realized her excitement was getting the best of her.
Kazuto came from behind her. "Let me help you with that." He pulled the door open, revealing a very excited Suguha, who practically jumped him.
"Kazuto! I am so glad you invited us. I am so glad, I can finally introduce you both to each other. I have waited for so long." She straightened out and gestured to her 'boyfriend'. "This is Percy. He is from Paris, France." Suguha gestured to her brother. "And this is Kazuto, my elder brother. His wife Asuna." She then gestured to Asuna, who took her place right next to Kazuto, giving a slight bow. "And if you had an Augma, you would be able to meet Yui, their daughter." They didn't have a spare, so Yui felt a bit sad. But she was still visible to her parents, so it wasn't all bad.
"It is very nice to finally meet you!" Asuna nudged Kazuto in the chest and whispered, "... Don't be rude…!"
Kazuto reluctantly obliged. "Yeah… same here…" Kazuto seemed less than thrilled, if not suspicious.
Suguha smiled at Percy, who was a tall man, with curly blonde hair and hazely orange eyes. "I have heard so much about you. You're thee Kirito, right?"
"That would be accurate." Kazuto stated plainly.
Asuna smiled cheerfully. "Come in, come in! Before you catch a cold." She insisted, before taking everyone's coats and hanging them up.
They were ushered to the table, before the food would get cold.
Kazuto stared at Percy, from across the table. "So what do you do, for a living, Percy?" This was more of a demand, than a question.
"I am a travel agent. I travel the world for my work." Percy remained calm.
"Do you plan to stay in Japan? Or do you plan to return to France?" Kazuto continued drilling him.
"I like this country. I plan to stay here for a while. I will return home, sooner or later."
"How often do you travel?" The interrogation continued.
"Only when my job requires me to. I can work right from my home, any where in the world, most of the time." Percy didn't lose his composure.
Yui just watched all the drama, play out.
Kazuto only grew more suspicious. "So if I wanted to travel on a category 7 around the world, would it be better to fly through Jetski or Airtime? Which one is more efficient and better for airfare."
"I would go with the Airtime. It is much safer and they tend to give you better deals." Percy answered in confidence.
"Where is a better vacation spot, because I can't make up my mind. Should I go to Chile or Tarnal?"
"Tarnal is beautiful this time of year, but if you're looking for adventure, I would go to Chile."
"Kazuto! Seriously?" Suguha was starting to get a little annoyed. She knew what he was really doing.
Kazuto just ignored her and continued drilling Percy.
Sugu stood up and grabbed Asuna from the table, without the guys even noticing. She dragged her to the kitchen. "Asuna. You have to help me! I always wanted Kazuto to be protective of me, but this is getting ridiculous!"
Asuna smiled at her confidently. "Don't worry! I've got you covered."
"Thank you!" Sugu sounded pretty desperate.
They returned to the table. Sugu sat down, but Asuna stood in front of Kazuto. "Kazuto? Can I borrow you for a moment?"
Kazuto reluctantly stood up and followed Asuna out towards their room.
"What is this about? Can't it wait? I was just starting to get to him. I knew there was something up. I made all that stuff up. He's not a travel agent-"
"Kazuto!" Asuna grabbed his attention. "There is something I need to tell you."
"What?"
"I'm pregnant!"
Kazuto's mouth flew open and every thought fleeted from his mind. "A-are you sure?"
"Yes."
"I'm a-a-a father?" Kazuto was talking to himself, but Asuna was offended by hearing it.
"Of course! Who else would it be?!" Asuna put her hands on his shoulder.
His tender eyes met hers. "I can't believe it. We're going to have our own. This is amazing!" Kazuto pulled her into a hug and rested his head on her shoulder.
She pulled away from him. "We can talk more about this later. We shouldn't keep our guests waiting." She took his hand in hers and led him back to the dinner table.
They returned to the dinning room and took their seats.
Sugu saw this tender smile on her brother's face, with a sparkle in his eyes, as he played with his food. 'Asuna… You sly fox! I can't believe you would bribe him with sex!' She smiled slyly. "What were you two up to?"
Kazuto flustered as always. "Nothing…"
Asuna smiled. "We just got a little excited, that's all. Right, Kazuto?"
"Right." Kazuto couldn't help it. All he could think about was that he will be having a baby with Asuna.
"Kirito? I'm sorry… Does it bother you, to call you that?" Percy asked sincerely.
"Not really. But we aren't in game, so it's a little weird." Kazuto answered, still a bit distant. The whole world knows his real identity at this point, so it didn't make any difference.
"I hear you are the CEO of a VRMMO company. What kind of things do you actually do, as a CEO?" Percy asked.
"I run the company… Nothing specific." Kazuto answered bluntly.
"I hope I am not overstepping my bounds, but I wondered if you were working on the latest model or something?" Percy asked, seemingly trying to show interest in Kazuto.
"That is classified information. I am not at liberty to disclose such details." Kazuto turned his attention back to Percy. "Sugu told me, you have no interest in VRMMOs but yet you're asking me about the proceedings of my company. Why?"
"Is it wrong to show interest in your work? Some people would call it a friendly gesture." Percy continued to remain composed and confident.
"Then, why would you ask a question, if you thought it might be inappropriate for me to answer?" Kazuto interrogated.
"Here we go again. Would anyone like some pie?" Asuna stood up from the table.
Kazuto's eyes didn't leave Percy's.
Percy started to laugh, which only irritated Kazuto more.
"I don't see what is so funny." Kazuto glared.
"You!... Jetski? Tarnal? Seriously?" Percy continued to laugh. "Chill out! I am who I say I am. I can tell when I am being interrogated."
Kazuto released a sigh, and was given a knowing look from Asuna, when she returned with the pie.
"We'll see about that." Kazuto continued eating. Asuna placed a piece of pie in front of him and smiled.
His face turned a little pink, when he recalled their conversation, not too long ago.
Sugu grew really curious. "What is up with you two? Spill!"
Kazuto just smiled tenderly at his sister. "We will tell you some other time."
"Wait! Are… you having a baby?!" Sugu grew excited.
Kazuto and Asuna exchanged looks of shock.
Kazuto relaxed slightly, but still remained excited. He gazed upon his sister. "Yep!"
Sugu jumped from her seat and ran over to Kazuto, giving them both a big hug. "Congratulations! I am soo happy for you."
Asuna pleaded, "Please don't tell anyone. We would like to tell them, when we're ready."
"Of course! This is soo exciting! I am going to be an aunt…" Sugu's eyes met Yui's. "...again!"
"I'm going to be a sister?!" Yui cheered.
"That's right, Yui. You're going to be a sister." Asuna smiled so much, soon she wouldn't be able to remove it.
Percy smiled at Asuna. "Congrats! When are you expecting?"
Kazuto's smile slid off of his face and his eyes narrowed again, in suspicion.
"I don't know yet." Asuna replied. She hadn't even discussed any of these details with Kazuto yet. It was a little awkward to answer Percy at this time, even if she had the answer.
Sugu put her hand over her mouth. "I'm sorry… You just found out, didn't you, Kazuto?"
"It's alright, Sugu." Kazuto reassured her.
They continued eating, but it was still a little tense between Kazuto and Percy, even despite Asuna's efforts.
