I do not own sword art online anime, manga or other released works
If anyone had been lucky to see the fight other than Kayaba it would be a sight to be sure. The fighting between the two fighters are coordinated, the word teamwork would not do them justice. Asuna fought as if to protect someone and Kirito did as well. To Korito it was what he wanted to see, what every father wished to see. His son found a true mate, and he was fighting along side him. In all the years in his post he had never had a tougher fight, and as he was defeated he came up with the idea. Maybe his mom and I can finally open his eyes to what I am seeing.
The boss fight for the 70th floor was announced over and the next floor portal was now open. Kirito looked exhausted, and Asuna looked at him with concern in her eyes. "Kirito are you feeling alright? What you told me that was someone you considered your dad. Are you sure you are alright?" Kirito was surprised by the almost heart felt concern, "He is fine, he should be at the monster town right about now. But why do you feel concern for me?"
Asuna hit him on the arm. "How can you possibly be so blind, can you tell what I feel? Do you remember me cooking for anyone? Do you think I let anyone in my home?" Kirito could seem to answer that. If it happened it would make the news, or simply gossip. "I cook for you and want to be with you for obvious reasons. Are you truly that dense that you can't tell?" Kirito was not sure how to respond, it was a word that got caught at the back of his throat. Who would imagine that 4 letters were so hard to say out loud. Was it fear or was it the memories of what happened to the person who said the same thing.
Asuna was upset, and was now totally blushing and tired of waiting for him to answer, "I love you, you knucklehead. Can you imagine what is is like loving a person and never even being able to tell him!" That was the thing that made him lose his supposed fear. Velvet had told him the same, but she had broken his heart. Would Asuna be the same. He did not care he had to admit that he too had fallen for her, but he did not say simply took her in his arms and kissed her deeply on her lips. It was a passionate kiss, and it was one that Asuna was more than happy to return.
Well I guess the only thing he needed to do was to walk towards the secret pathway. He asked Asuna to help him get to the wall. He placed his hand on the wall and tapped it in a strange way. The wall moved and a portal appeared. He decided to go to the 70th floor town. But things were different. Instead of NPCs the town was full of different monsters. Monster townspeople, shopkeepers, merchants, blacksmith, all the things you expect from a normal player town.
He saw a much smaller version of the golden eyed fiend. He looked pretty big, almost as big as Agil. "So you decided to finally come home with her! Well son let me meet my future daughter- in law. Oh come on don't be shy!" How in the world did his dad figure that he would feel about Asuna in that way. "Well I just told him, and he accepted. So I am more like his girlfriend, but if he asked I would gladly be his wife!" Asuna told Korito while he was laughing. "So I was right! Come on lets go you really need to meet Yuhina. Your mother is going to be one happy monster!"
Kirito did not even make a single word he simply followed, "Well I guess he was being forced by fate, he might as well ask her in front of his mother. That would either cause his mom to jump for joy or faint. He hoped that she would not faint. Korito, his son and Asuna walked to their modest home. "Sweety, you would not believe what the wind dragged in!" Yuhina was the same as her husband but with silver eyes. "Well if it isn't my little boy. Kirito come give mama a hug!" He did give her a hug, "Oh but that is not all!" Korito continued. "He brought his bride to meet you!" Asuna could tell there was a teasing tone to his voice. "So you are the one that would be my Kirito's mate. Let me ask you something do you love him enough to be faithful to him?"
Asuna did not know where the question came from but she did know the answer. "Yes, he is my one and only. I will be his and only his for as long as I should live." Yuhina was happy to hear the conviction and dedication behind her replay. "Well, welcome to the family. If only that idiot son Keroto would find himself a mate too. I would have my two boys taken care off."
Asuna asked who Keroto was and Kirito told her he was his younger brother. He had blue eyes. Korito told his son that his brother made floor boss on a higher floor. The father and son talked about how his life had been, and the mother and Asuna talked about how Kirito had been to her, and seeing baby pictures. Kirito had been sure that he had destroyed those. Yuhina laughed and said that she kept copies in secure places in case of accidents. As the two slept in each other arms in his old bed in his old room something happened, he felt the need to touch her, and she felt the same thing. It happened as they kissed again, and the touching and the feeling got hotter and more intense. Before they knew it they were making love, and in the throws of their final moments he bit her on her breast right above her heart. Happy, exhausted, and feeling a sense of oneness they fell asleep. Velvet felt it too, the curse that plagued her only could mean Kirito had decided to mate and the mate had accepted him. She was a little sad, but at the very least she would live a little longer. As Asuna slept Kirito's parents looked at her sleeping next to their son. "To think that this would happen in his old bed. Talk about strange. I guess the mark will appear tonight. I better go to bed and get ready to make a big celebration breakfast." Said Yuhina as he smiled at her mate. A strange symbol was forming where Asuna received the bite from Kirito.
In terms of monsters they would know she was his mate, but that did not stop Asuna from dreaming of the marriage ceremony on the player side of Aincrad.
