Kirito woke up the next morning and looked at Asuna who was still cradled up in his arms. He looked at his girlfriend's sweet innocent face and thought about how someone could possibly disown this girl. Asuna started stirring in his arms and then eventually woke up.

"Good morning sleepy head."

"Good morning Kirito-kun. Are you feeling okay?" Asuna asked Kirito.

"I'm fine, but what about you? How are you feeling now?" Kirito replied out of concern from the day before.

"Honestly; I'm still feeling a bit hurt, but it's not as bad now that you're here with me." The couple held each other in their arms until Asuna decided to take a shower, but she didn't want to be alone so she invited her black haired boyfriend to join her. The look on his face was like a combination of "Bruh!" & "Are you serious?" which was quite amusing to look at from Asuna's point of view. As they walked into the bathroom Kirito still wasn't sure if Asuna was being serious or not.

"A-Are you sure you want m-me to join you in the s-shower Asuna?" Kirito asked his girlfriend. Asuna disappeared behind the shower curtain and the hot water began to pour down; she then put her hand out from behind the curtain and motioned to Kirito to join her in the shower with her finger. Kirito threw whatever clothes he had left on to the floor and joined Asuna in the shower like a bat out of hell.

The couple enjoyed each other's company in the shower, taking it in turns to wash each other. They were about to get out until Asuna slumped down to the floor, Kirito didn't know what was wrong with her; that was until she looked like she was about to start crying again.

"H-Hey Asuna, what's wrong?" Kirito asked his girlfriend while the hot water continued to rain down on the pair. Asuna looked up at him with tears building up in her eyes.

"Why won't she let me be who I want to be. It's still me after all, I'm still her daughter. So why, why just why..." Asuna started sobbing lightly and was about to start crying again; that was until Kirito knelt down and hugged the chestnut haired girl in a soothing way.

"It's because she's jealous of you."

"Jealous; why would my mother be jealous of me?" Asuna asked back.

"She's jealous because you were able to be happy in your own way and not in the way she had planned out for you." Kirito said surprising Asuna. She thought about it for a second and figured that her boyfriend could possibly be right.

"Yeah you're right, thank you Kirito-kun. We should probably get out now." The hot water stopped raining down, they grabbed their towels and went back to Kirito's bedroom. After drying up and getting dressed the pair put on their amuspheres and laid down on the bed, their hands intertwined with each other and shouted out a single command.

"Link Start!"

Alfheim Online

The couple dived into Alfheim Online to see their daughter. As their vision cleared they looked around their home on the 22nd floor of New Aincrad for Yui. When the couple entered Yui's bedroom they couldn't see her; Kirito looked in his pockets to see if she was in her pixie form but out of nowhere, a body jumped onto his back making him fall over. When he turned around he saw Yui right in front of him smiling and Asuna giggling.

"Hello Papa, Mama! Yui said cheerfully while running over to Asuna and hugging her.

"Hello Yui, have you been behaving with everyone else while we weren't logger on?" Asuna asked her daughter referring to Suguha (Leafa), Klien and all their other friends.

"I have mama; what about you and Papa in the real world. Have you been good?" The little Ai girl asked her parents. Asuna began to feel nervous as she didn't want to tell Yui about her problems with her mother. Kirito stopped smiling when he saw the troubled look on Asuna's face, and it didn't help with the bangs of her long blue hair hid her beautiful sapphire eyes.

"Uh Yui, it's kind of complicated so I don't think it's a good idea for us to tell you right now." Kirito said trying to help out his girlfriend, but Asuna decided to be honest with her daughter.

"No it's ok Kirito-kun, she's our daughter so she has a right to know. Come here Yui and I'll tell you what's going on with Mama and Papa." The family sat on the couch with Yui on Asuna's knees and she went on to explain what was going on with her mother and her little secret as well. There was a mixture of laughter and crying ringing throughout the house. After everything settled down there was an awkward silence filling the house. It remained like this until Yui asked her parents something.

"Mama, Papa do you think it will be ok if we go to the beach in Alfheim for a swim? Yui asked her parents which seemed to catch them by surprise. It seemed to be her attempt to lighten the mood a bit and it seemed to work when the couple looked at each other and smiled.

"Ok let's do that. Let's go to the beach for a swim; it might help us to get our minds off some things for a bit." Asuna said.

"Do you want me to see if anyone else is online or should it just be the three of us?" Kirito asked his girlfriend (and in-game wife) and daughter.

"I think the three of us should go, just for today." Asuna replied. As they teleported out of New Aincrad and back into Alfheim, they flew towards the beach on Thule Island to try and have some fun. The family spent a good amount of time at the beach splashing each other, swimming underwater and building sand castles. After a while Yui started to get tired and the couple decided to take her back home and put her to bed. Thankfully because of the time of day settings of ALO when Kirito and Asuna logged out it would only be around 2pm. They got back to house on floor 22 and put a sleepy Yui in her bed. As soon as Kirito and Asuna were about to log out, Yui spoke in her sleep.

"I love you Mama, Papa." Yui said innocently.

"We love you too Yui, and we promise we'll be back online soon." Asuna said just before she kissed her daughter on the head and logged off with Kirito.

Real World

As soon as they logged out of ALO and their vision became clear again, they took off their amushperes and sat on the edge of Kirito's bed. His phone went off and when he looked at the text message it said that everyone was meeting up at the Dicey café to hang out with each other.

"Hey Asuna, everyone is heading to the Dicey café to meet up for a bit; do you want to go as well?" Kirito asked his girlfriend not knowing what she was feeling at the minute.

"Let's go, we get to blow off some more steam anyway so let's get going." Asuna said dragging her raven haired boyfriend out of his room and house and along to the Dicey café.
