Chapter 35. This time I will save you.

Asuna and Kirito shared a rocking chair. Their daughter playing a field near by. Kirito reading her a book. It quiet and peaceful everything she had wanted. As Kirito read the words Asuna felt closer to him. She enjoyed his embrace and smell of his body. Everything was perfect. However it was coming to a end as sleep started to take her. She tried to keep her eyes open but failed. No matter how strong her will was her eyes closed and then everything started to break down. Then there was nothing.

/IRL/

Asuna shot up from her bed. The dream was over, the life she wanted was gone. Asuna heart ached. It had been 2 month since the end of the game, 2 months of loneliness and solitude. She didn't know where her lover was, she was left alone with no word of hope.

What she did know however was 300 player were yet to wake up and were trapped in another game. She prayed Kirito wasn't one of them. Then another wave of tears began.

After 10 minutes of crying Asuna's mother banged on her door saying she was late for breakfast. That was her call to wake up and join the world she had been apart from for the last 2 and a half years.

Asuna got dressed put on her make up and left her room and joined her family for breakfast. Once she got to the dinning room she saw her father sipping a cup of coffee and reading the day's paper, her mother was drinking her tea but was staring off into space. However when she saw Asuna enter the looked at her with daggers. Her voice was cold and scalding. "So glad you could finally join us Asuna darling."

Asuna ignored her and sat down to eat. Asuna father also ignored her mother and continued to read his paper for a few moments before folding it and looking at Asuna. "What time is you appointment today. Any physo or is it just a check up."

"It just a check up father, the nurse said i recovered quickly and i can walk perfectly fine. They did warn me to take things slowly though and look after myself." Asuna replied in a natural voice.

"I should think so, with the amount of money we pay them I would hope you recover quickly." Asuna mother spat.

"No darling please don't be rude. Are daughter deserves the best just like her brother got." Asuna father scalded.

"Yeah but he didn't get trapped in a game. He was focused on his work, If Asuna had been doing her school work then she would have got locked in that stupid game." Asuna mother shot back.

Asuna's father simply nodded and returned to his paper. Asuna mother didn't react she simply left the table without a word.

Asuna finished her food and went back to her room to get ready for her appointment.

/later that day./

Asuna was busy studying at her mother request. She may of been old enough to go to college but she was 2 years behind and her mother had demanded that she catch up. Thankfully After 3 hours of studying Asuna mother called she was going out for a few hours to see some friends. This would mean Asuna had the house to herself letting her doing something more interesting and stop her from thinking about Kirito.

Asuna heard the door open and close but Asuna waited 5 minutes just to be safe before going down stair and reading a book in the comforts of the living and not the prison of her bedroom. However as she entered the living there was a knock on the door. Asuna opened it and standing there was a man in a suit he had messy black hair and a pair of glasses. "Ah hello my name is Kikuoka Seijirou. I woke for the government, I am a part of the SAO case study. I'm looking for miss Asuna Yukki."

"That would be me...Um would you like to come in, I'll make us some tea." Asuna said making way for the man to enter.

"Thank you but tea won't be necessary, I simply want to talk to you about what happened"

Asuna nodded and the pair entered the living room. Each taking a separate sofa to sit on. "So what was it you wanted to know."

"Well you see my team we were in charge of knowing each family that had a vitcim in the game. We promised not to interfere with there life until the end of the game and if their family memeber died they were given compensation and were left alone. However the families left alive have been question about their time in the game. You my dear are very important." Kikuoka said pudhing his glasses up.

"I am how so." Asuna asked.

"Kazuto Kirigaya. Do you know how he gained access to the system after the end of the game." Kikuoka asked coldly.

"I don't know who you are talking about." Asuna replied.

"Ah let me see." Kikuoka looked at the phone scrolling down a page. He then smirked. "His account name was Kirito."

"Oh Kirito," Asuna felt her heart I'm sorry but no i knew he could access the game system but I didn't know how he got a hold of it." Asuna replied. "Why don't you ask him."

"We can't. We went to his family and the inform us he hadn't woken up yet, he is one of the 300."

"Wait what." Asuna gasped.

"How about we make a deal Asuna you tell me everything you know and I will tell you where the Kirito family are. As Part of the agreement with the families the bodies of the victim were left unknown to us. So I can't offer you his hospital name."

"OK deal." Asuna said before telling the man everything she knew about Kirito and the system. After 30 minutes of explaining Asuna was finished. Kikuoka nodded finished writing and then turned the page. He scribbled something down and then ripped it out of his book.

He then handed it to Asuna and thank her. Asuna unfolded the paper and it was adress she guested it was Kirito's. Asuna nodded to herself before writing a note and rushing out the house. It turned out he had lived about 20 minutes walk from his house the whole time.

/Kirigaya residence./

Asuna arrived at the house she saw the sign post and knew she was at the right place. Asuna took a deep breath to steel her nerves before she went to knock on the door. After a few seconds a young girl answered. She looked about 14. She had black hair and her face was similar to Kirito's she knew this was his family and she smiled. The girl in front of her looked confused and said. "Who are you and why are you smiling like that."

"Oh sorry, my name is Asuna Yukki I'm… let's just say I'm a friend of Kiri...I mean Kazuto. I was with him in SAO." Asuna said with a friendly smile.

"Don't say things like that it not very nice now go away." The girl said tears building up in her eyes she went to slam the door shut but Asuna stopped her.

"Wait I'm not lying. He did tell me much about his life in the real world. He was very good at being being friendly and was likely to push people away. But when push came to shove he would back down. He defeated people he cared about alway putting them first. He never back down from a fight alway stood this ground. It why i fell in love with him so please just listen to what I have to say. You my last hope in finding him. Please help me."

Asuna was crying now describing Kirito made her think about him and know he was still trapped in the game made thing even worse. The girl at the opened it completely and hugged Asuna.

"I can see you cared for my brother. Please come in i'm sorry for the way I acted." The girl broke her embrace with Asuna and took her hand leading her into the house. As Asuna entered she saw a photo she walked up to it and held it. It was a picture of Kirito in his room next to a big computer, he looked very happy with himself. "That was just before SAO he had built his own computer with a year's worth of pocket money. He built it just so he could play SAO. Mum told him she would buy him one as a early birthday present but he refused."

"Stubborn as ever i guess. He was like that in game. If he wanted to do something nothing was going to stop him." Asuna hugged the picture.

"Who was he to you." the girl asked.

"Me and him, we were...we were husband and wife. We got married in the game right at the end but we had been together from the start he saved me so many time as did I him we very rarely parted most of we did it was Kirito getting scared of getting me killed and running away. I would alway find him though." Asuna said remembering their time together.

/An hour later./

Asuna was welcomed into the home. After explaining every she learned the girl's name was Suguha. She the complete opposite to Kirito. She was loud brash and had plenty of friends. She said Kirito didn't trust people and prefered the safety of his room and his games.

"How old is Kirito can I ask." Asuna said her face going red.

"He never told you. He turned 16 last month. Please tell me you a similar age otherwise it just weird."

"Yes thankfully, I'm 17 so he only a year younger than me." Asuna said smiling.

"Yeah thank god."

The pair continued talking and were quickly becoming friends. Mostly they were talking about Kirito and trading stories. It wasn't long before Suguha mum came home. When she did she asked who Asuna was and after some explaining she welcome Asuna as a daughter. Saying it was about time Kirito had found someone.

"Asuna I have question for you. If i was to say I could take you too see Kazuto what would you say." Kirito mum asked.

"Yes." Asuna replied too quickly.

"I will warn you it's not a pretty sight."

"I don't care I want to see him I have to." Asuna said her eyes lightening up.

"OK tomorrow then at 12 be outside our home ok, it getting late you should go home."

Asuna nodded, said good bye and left.

/Yukki household./

As soon as Asuna entered her home her mother yelled her for being home so late but informed her that her and Asuna's father were going out of town for a while. Asuna said ok and went to her room. After a few hours of studying she went to bed.

/The next day./

Asuna walked up the Kirito house and waited outside after 5 minutes of waiting Suguha and her mother exited the house. They said hello to each other and got in the car. The journey to the hospital was short but no one spoke which made it feel like a lifetime. Once the car was park the trio walked up the hospital. On there way Kirito's aunt spoke. "Now Asuna as you can see this isn't a private hospital like the one you said you family had you in. the staff here are short handed. So Kazuto will not look good. He has no muscle or fat and looks half dead. I am just warning you. It not going to pretty."

Asuna nodded. Readying herself for the worst the trio got to Kirito room. Asuna was left to enter first. Suguha spoke before they entered"We'll let you go on your own first. Give you some privacy with him."

Asuna nodded and opened the door. As soon as she did she saw him, what Suguha mother had said was right, Kirito looked dead. His body was simply bone and there was nothing to him. It broke her heart. Asuna walked over to his body and took his hand before crying on his chest. After a short time Asuna stopped crying and kissed Kirito cheek. She looked at him with hard eyes and said "Kirito I promise this time I will save you."
