A/N: What's up everyone. Before I get started with the chapter, there's a few things I want to address. First of all, a few people have been asking whether I would do wedding/birth chapters for any other couples from Blazing Revolution. At the moment, I have no plans to do any more of those chapters other than the ones I've already released. It's tough to come up with different wedding/birth ideas for each couple and I don't want to get repetitive. If I do end up doing any more of them, it will be much later down the line. Secondly, some of you may recall that I mentioned a couple chapters ago that I would be changing the cover image of this fic to one of a commission I recently had done. Unfortunately, due to some technical issues with this site, there will be a delay for it. I will try and get everything fixed as soon as possible.

Lastly, the idea for this story was given to me by CocytusAce so I want to give her a shout out. If you haven't seen her work, she's written out a fic called Parallel Romance. It's a collection of 'what-if' pairings for the characters of Blazing Revolution so be sure to check it out. It's a very funny read. Thanks again for the idea Ace.

One more thing. As usual I need to say whether this story is cannon or not. I cannot stress it enough for this story. Papa Helios is NOT cannon.

Without further adieu, here's the chapter folks.

Chapter 8: Papa Helios

The sun was shining brightly on Floor 22 as Wyvern's Inferno traveled to visit Kirito and Asuna. The guild had heard about the young couple's recent marriage and decided to go visit them to offer congratulations for their union. They made Dagger swear to secrecy about the location of the two high level players, threatening her money would be taken from her if even so much as a peep was spilled to the public. Though reluctant, the merchant agreed to not blab about their location.

"So am I the only one who thinks this marriage came out of nowhere?" Helios suddenly asked on the way there.

"What do you mean? They've already had feelings for each other for a long time. They just decided to act on it." Alice said with a shrug.

The axe player scoffed at her statement. "Oh please, they've been dancing around that crap for months and now suddenly their hitched? They didn't even date at all before this happened."

"Like you can be the judge on relationships Helios." Ren commented. "Need I remind you that you and Dagger have been dating for only a few months now?"

"Yeah dating, not passive aggressively dancing around our romance like some sort of cliched anime love story."

"Just drop it Helios. The point is they're happy together and that's all that matters in the end." The leader said, ending the conversation while the ash haired teen started to grumble.

Soon in the distance the guild saw the house that the newlyweds were staying at. A small cozy wooden two floor cabin that had a beautiful view of the lake behind them. All they needed to do was cross the wooden bridge along the side of the lake and they'd be at their destination. As they walked along the wooden pathway, a sudden rustling in the forest next to them caught everyone's attention.

"What was that, an animal or something?" Mai wondered with a raised brow.

Alice shook her head at the thought. "No, we're still in the safe zone of the town. There's no way it could be anything wild."

"Maybe some rabid fanboy or girl followed us? Let me check it out." Helios offered.

"Helios, don't just go in there!"

The teen waved off the leader's worries and began moving into the shrubbery. "Oh relax man, like anybody can take me on in a fight."

"*Cough* KiritoRenAsunaandHeathcliff *Cough*" Alice muttered in between her sudden 'coughing' fit. Helios gave the scythe user a dirty look, who merely just whistled innocently, before going into the bush.

As he stepped into the wooded area, he realized that he didn't need to do a lot of searching to find the culprit as she was lying right there on the earth.

It was a young girl, not looking anything older than six. She wore a pretty white dress that went down the length of her body. Her hair was an ebony black color and quite long. Helios could only assume she was unconscious based on the fact that her eyes were closed.

'The hell? Why is there a kid just lying here? Did she faint out of shock of someone finding her or something? Ugh I hate dealing with this crap.' Not wanting a helpless little girl to be left all alone, Helios picked her up and slowly made his way back into the guild's view who were all looking at him with questioning eyes.

"So… Quick question. Are Kirito and Asuna babysitting some kid who decided to play in the woods?"

Ren looked a bit caught off guard at the random question and slowly raised an eyebrow. "No…?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, hmm… Then we have a situation on our hands." he said nervously as he pulled out the young girl for all to see.

Needless to say this caused a bit of disarray in the group.

"What the hell Helios!? Did you seriously attack a kid!?" Alice accused.

"Okay first of all, screw you for even considering that I'd hurt a kid! Second, no I freaking didn't because I just found her like this! I think she fainted or something!"

"But why is she even here in the first place!?" Mai asked.

"Well if I knew I would tell you, wouldn't I squirt!?"

Getting increasingly annoyed at the constant bickering between friends, Dagger decided to take a firecracker item she got from the New Year's event and pop it to get everyone's attention. "Everyone shut up! Arguing whether or not Helios knocked out the girl isn't the problem at hand."

"Uh I kinda disagree there Dagger." Ren said with narrowed eyes. "I don't want to deal with angry parents demanding blood for their kid getting hurt."

"AS I WAS SAYING!" She yelled over him. "Let's go to Kirito and Asuna's house and put her down. We need to find her parents and maybe they know some other couples on the floor."

"We can't just impose on them like this. It's supposed to be their honeymoon."

"Would you rather we leave the kid to the wolves?" Helios bit back at Ren.

"Look I hate to say it but Helios has a point." Riku piped up. "Let's just get our bearings and figure out what to do next."

Ren groaned whilst rubbing his temples. He hated the thought of taking advantage of Kirito and Asuna's home like this but given the circumstances, they had little choice. He would ask for forgiveness later once this while headache was over with. One thought remained in his head as he knocked on the door to the newlyweds home with the others behind him.

'Helios is never examining a situation ever again.'

In the nearly two years they had known Wyvern's Inferno, Kirito and Asuna had known that strange things tended to happen with them every now and then, usually because of Helios. On second thought, it was almost always because of Helios.

But finding an unconscious little girl laying in the woods? That one definitely took the cake.

After bringing the girl inside, they laid her in one of the beds in the house. As they waited for the mystery girl to wake up, the group all sat together in the living room to discuss the situation.

"So let me get this straight." Asuna said as she looked at Ren and the rest of Wyvern's Inferno. "You guys heard a strange sound in the woods, Helios went in to check it out, and then he came out holding an unconscious child."

"She was unconscious when I FOUND her." Helios emphasized. "I just want to make that clear."

Asuna narrowed her eyes, but decided to take Helios's word for it. She had known him to be headstrong and downright braindead at times, but Helios wasn't the type to hurt a child, especially go so far as to knock one out.

"So what now?" Kirito asked. "Any idea as to who her parents are?"

"We were actually hoping you guys would know." Mai said. "Do you know any couples on this floor that have a kid?"

Kirito and Asuna both shook their heads. "No. I don't even know of any players that logged on as a full family. Those are pretty rare."

"I doubt she'd have logged in without her parents, or at least a sibling." Ren assumed. "She's way too young to have logged on alone."

"Yeah, but how do we find them?" Alice asked. "There's thousands of people in Aincrad. They could be anywhere."

A long silence followed. Eventually Helios sighed and got up from the couch. "I'm gonna go check on the kid. Be right back."

Helios got up from the couch and walked into the other room. With him out of earshot, Mai leaned in closer. "So just to make sure, we're positive Helios didn't knock her out?"

"Come on Mai." Ren said. "We know Helios is an ass, but he wouldn't attack a helpless little girl. It's just not him."

"He has no problems making my life hell though." Mai groaned as she leaned back.

"There's not much we can do right now, unfortunately." Dagger said. "We'll just have to wait until she wakes up and-"

"Guys! Come here, quick!"

The sudden shout from Helios caught everyone's attention. They all raced into the bedroom to find the young girl sitting up in the bed, fully awake.

"You're awake. Thank goodness." Asuna said. She walked up to the girl and showed her a comforting smile. "Are you alright?"

The girl gave a small nod of her head.

"Do you remember what happened to you? Why you were lying in the forest?" Alice asked.

This time, the girl shook her head no.

"How about your name then? Do you remember that?" Dagger asked.

"My… name…?" the girl softly spoke. "My name is… Yui… Yui, that's it. That's my name."

"Well that's a start at least." Helios said as he sat next to her on the bed. "How about your parents? Have any idea where they are?"

"Par...ents…?"

Helios nodded his head. "Yeah. Your mom and dad. Do you know where we can find them?"

Yui stayed silent for several moments. The group could only assume that she didn't have an answer for them.

"W-Well that's okay. Don't worry about it." Helios assured the girl, trying to cheer her up. "We can work on that later. For now, let's try remembering one thing at a time."

Finally, Yui moved her head, looking up at Helios. She stared into his eyes, muttering out one word.

"Papa."

The room became so silent, you could hear a pin drop.

A/N: Let me guess. You guys were expecting this story to be based on Naoki's childhood. Well guess what, you couldn't be further from the truth.
