A/N

There is an important authors note at the end of this, so please read it. On with the story!

Inside ALO. Kirito´s POV

As Yui´s data transfer was complete, we had headed out into the city to get her some new equipment. She had tried to put on a full set of knight armor, but since her STR stat wasn´t high enough yet, she couldn´t wear it properly. I had had a hard time concealing my laugh when she put on the helmet and stumbled around, like a baby would when it tried to walk. She fell and I helped her up, and helped her unequip this unnecessary equipment to find something a little lower level, which would suit her better.

"Hey Yui" I said as I looked back at Yui, who I was currently carrying in a piggyback ride "You want to be fast and have weaker attacks, or be slower and have stronger attacks?" She put her finger to her mouth and looked up at the sky as she thought. She was so concentrated I could almost see the gears in her head turning.

"What do you say mommy?" she asked her mother softly as she looked over at Asuna, who was currently walking beside us as we walked through town, her blue undine hair waving in the wind that was currently rushing through the streets. She smiled over at her daughter and shrugged "It depends what you personally like best honey" She answered as she softly ruffled our daughter´s hair, which was rewarded with a giggle.

"Well, then I would rather be fast. Strong and brutal isn´t really my thing" She said as she smiled widely at her mother. I nodded and looked around for a weapons merchant, before approaching a certain blacksmith´s shop. "Lizbeth! It´s me Kirito!" I yelled throughout the shop, the echo bouncing from the walls and back in my face. After a couple of seconds, Lizbeth came out from the back of the shop "Welcome to Lizbeth´s smith shop!" She said excitedly before seeing who I was "Oh it´s you. You´re not here to smash any more of my weapons are you?" She said as she smirked at me. I rolled my eyes and chuckled as Yui began to scold me "You broke one of her swords?! Daddy that´s not nice!" She yelled loudly as she squeezed my chest. I Simply chuckled and put her down so our eyes could meet.

"Well I didn´t know her "Masterpiece of a sword" would break so easily." I said as I looked back at Lizbeth with a smirk. I could immediately see that my words had taken effect, since a furious blush and a huff came from the bashful blacksmith. She huffed and put her hands on her hips as Asuna stood beside me with a giggle. "You know people can hear you on the street." She said as she giggled, and took my hand which was a surprise to me, since she never did those things when Klein or Lizbeth were around. I leaned over and whispered in her ear "Aren´t you afraid Liz is going to tease us?" I asked as I looked at her with a concerned expression. She nodded and pouted "B-But… I want to hold your hand" This short sentence resulted in both me and Asuna blushing furiously, to big happiness from Lizbeth "Oh god get a room already you two!" She said as she smirked and chuckled, both me and Asuna blushing even deeper than before.

"Not to interrupt" Yui suddenly said "But aren´t we here to get me a sword?" She said as she puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms adorably. I chuckled a little and picked her up, holding her in my arms "You learned that pouting from your mommy!" I said laughing, and even Asuna chuckled a little as she pouted in the exact same way "I do not pout like that!" She said as she puffed out her cheeks. I simply rolled my eyes and shrugged as I walked over to a glass cabinet, lined up with several different swords, axes and knifes, including a shelf with only rapiers. "Yui you want a rapier?" I asked my young daughter. She smiled brightly and jumped up and down from excitement "Yes yes yes! Just like mommy´s!" I chuckled a little and nodded before picking up a random rapier. I gasped as I saw it´s stats.

It was incredibly light, but even so it´s ATK stat was still enormous for a rapier of this weight. I scrolled down it´s stat´s page, and to my surprise it even gave a special skill, just like my dual wielding skills. I looked over it´s name. It was the Lightning Lotus.

This was a perfect weapon for Yui. It didn´t crave the biggest stats so it was great for a beginner, and even so it would still be fast, and do great damage. I picked it up and examined it closer. It was a very beautiful sword. A green handle with lotus patterns alongside it, and a beautiful sharpened blade, also decorated with several beautiful lotus patterns. I stared down at it and a smile widened on my face as I turned to Lizbeth, who simply smirked and looked at me with a self-satisfied smirk "You like it?" She asked as I stared at her in awe. I didn´t answer her question though.

"How the heck did you make such a powerful sword?!" I asked as I looked down at Yui, who had grabbed the sword out of my hands, and now began examining it in her hands. I looked back at Lizbeth and continued "This is made from some of the rarest materials in ALO!" She smirked a little and wafted her hair back from her face before answering, "I have my sources. Now go try it out Yui. I will just discuss the price with your father" She said as Yui squealed and sprinted out the front door, with Asuna close behind "Wait for me!" she yelled as the door closed with a loud bang.

I sighed a little and looked over at Liz "I would have to guess the sword isn´t that cheap right?" I said as I looked at her with a resigned sigh. She smirked a little and nodded "But because you haven´t done anything stupid recently" I pouted a little and huffed at her comment "I can take half of the price off. But it´s still for sale for around 250.000 Col" I sighed a little and grumbled a little. It was really pricy, and we were still saving for that cottage. "Can I have a word with Asuna first?" I asked her with a thoughtful expression. She nodded a little as the doorbell rang and she smiled widely "Hang on a second Kirito" She said wuickly as she tidied up her hair and dress before attending to the new customer.

I stepped out of the shop and used the minimap on my menu to track down Asuna and Yui, who seemed to be just south of town. I activated my wings and quickly flew on my way. I soon saw my wife and daughter from above, and tried to land again, which ended in a faceplant straight into the ground and a yelp from my family who stood right nearby. I had done that at least three times now. "Ow… I need to sharpen those landings…" I mumbled as I got back to my feet and walked over to my family as I rubbed the back of my neck.

"Well the good thing is that no one has bought the sword yet" I said with a smile and the two girls smiled and nodded "The bad news is it costs 250.000 col" I said with a sigh. They looked at me sadly and nodded in defeat "Should we save up for the cottage and ask Liz to reserve the sword for us?" Asuna mumbled softly as she took my hand. I sighed a little and looked down at Yui "Do you really want that sword Yui?" I asked as I sat down on my knees so we were at eyelevel. She nodded slowly and looked at me warily "But… If we don´t have enough money it´s just too bad right?" She murmured softly and I nodded a little "Well let´s just buy the cottage and see if it´s sold by then. Ok?" She smiled a little and nodded before we all headed back to Lizbeth´s shop.

As we arrived there Yui was the first to head inside, and she zipped straight towards the glass cabinet with weapons inside. She jumped up and down from excitement as she scanned the weapons once again, to find a more decent and cheap weapon. Finally she found a simple metal rapier, and we paid for the weapon. As soon as we did that we headed back towards the southern plains to start our first training session with our daughter.

We went back to the plains and soon found a good mob to begin training on. It was a pretty basic mob, just a lone wolf, but I knew that it had a special skill. If you didn´t kill it quick enough it would howl for it´s pack, and that would mean trouble. If Yui became too cocky and didn´t kill it quick enough, she might have earned a fright for her first training lessons. "Ok Yui. What you want to do here, is-" But before I could even finish my sentence she had already blown forward with her rapier raised, killing the wolf instantly. Both me and Asuna´s jaws dropped as we watched her sheath her rapier and look back at us with a smirk "Do we have anything more challenging? This is boring" She said as she smiled and walked over to us with a cocky smirk. I smiled and chuckled a bit. "That´s my girl!" I exclaimed happily as I high fived her and we went further out into the plain.

About two hours later Yui´s stats had increased several points each, so I decided to give her a challenge "hey Yui! How about a real challenge?" I yelled from a bit away as me and Asuna sat in the grass and watched her kill of mob after mob. As she finished the last killer bee that stood in her way, she looked back over her shoulder and nodded confidently as she sheathed her sword and went over to us, sitting down on her knees to listen to my offer.

I smirked a little before opening my menu "If you can beat me in the city´s PVP arena, you can get some of the equipment I have gathered!" I said confidently as I showed her my menu, which was full of pretty decent gear. She smirked and looked up at me with a confident raise of an eyebrow "You sure you can do this daddy? I mean I don´t know if you would even stand for a minute!" I pouted a little and crossed my arms as Asuna beside me laughed loudly. I smiled over at her before looking back at my daughter with a competitive expression "Oh you´re on little one!" I said as I smirked and grabbed Asuna´s hand. "Raise you there yui!" I yelled over my shoulder as me and Asuna left the ground and flew towards the city as fast as we could. I could hear my daughter yell behind us "Hey you cheated!" as she began to fly too, and quickly catched up to us.

As we landed in the city, Yui smiled widely and cheered as she had gotten there first "Yes! I win" She yelled loudly as she jumped up and down like an excited school girl. I chuckled a little as I walked over "Good flying Yui. But you´re still not going to beat me in the arena" I smiled and ruffled her hair a little as I took Asuna´s hand and began to head towards the giant, Rome inspired dome of an arena.

As we entered we paid the fee for PVP battles, and set the reward for the winning player. As we entered Yui flew over to the opposite side of the Arena, and unsheathed her sword, standing in position like her kendo loving aunt had shown her. I was not sure if that was what I saw, but right before she dashed forward to attack, I thought I saw her murmuring something. She dashed forward and stabbed quickly, but I sidestepped left and slashed upward so she would get knocked back. She stumbled backwards and growled slightly before finding her stance once again, jumping backwards as I slashed towards her, making me hit only thin air.

I growled a little as it now was my turn to go on the offensive and I jumped forward, slashing left. She leaned back so her head almost touched the ground, making her head lower than the slash I had just send her way. I smirked a little and nodded "This is my chance!" I thought to myself as I kicked her left leg, making her collapse on her back. I smirked a little and pointed my sword towards her as she lied on the ground "looks like I win" I mumbled as I smiled down at her confidently. My confidence was short lived though when I saw her smiling up at me "Yeah you wish!" I frowned a little in confusion before feeling a sharp blow to my back and a raging heat as I was send into, and through the dome´s wall.

I growled a little and rubbed my arm as I dug myself out of the rubble that had been a wall just seconds before, and moaned a little of pain as I tumbled out onto the gravel floor of the dome. I panted a little as I slowly got relieved from the pain. "W-What the heck…?" I asked myself as I began thinking back. Then I realized. The picture of Yui mumbling something flashed into my mind, as I realized she had been enchanting a spell for invisible fireballs "hehe. Clever" I mumbled as I walked out into the dome. I looked up at my remaining Hp. It was a little lower than the green zone. I had 54.768 Hp out of my 80.000 total Hp. That spell had done quite some damage, so it must have been a powerful one.

I looked up at the spectator rows and saw Asuna, with wide eyes and wide open mouth as she stared down at the battle that unfurled before her. I growled a little as I looked back at my daughter "You´re surprisingly strong Yui I will give you that" I said loudly as I slowly walked towards her with my one handed sword at my side. "But don´t hold back. I know you´re stronger than this" I said with a smirk as I sprinted forward and delivered blow after blow. I widened my eyes a little as I realized she easily kept up, blocking, parrying and returning every single attack I send her way. I growled a little and jumped back so I could think of a plan of attack. Yui didn´t give me much of an opening though, as she send a wave of fireballs after me as soon as I tried to flee.

I dodged the fireballs and even send some of them back at Yui with my sword, but she dodged them so they crashed into the dome walls. I growled a little as she finally let me think a little, and come up with a strategy. "dammit… I'm not hitting her at all…" I mumbled as I looked over Yui, examining her and her equipment. "Wait a minute.." I realized her shoulder plate was sitting slightly loose. "If I can hit her shoulder… Maybe I can still win this" I mumbled. I began enchanting for a spell "Oru Miru Ira Mori" I yelled, and sent three barrages of water orbs after her. When she began working on them I smirked a little, before dashing forward, catching her off guard. She looked at me and gasped but when she realised it, it was too late. I began stabbing mercilessly, chipping her Hp away with each stab and slash. Her Hp went downwards quickly, and when it ended up in the red zone, a loud airhorn sounded. I had won the duel.

I smirked and sheathed my sword as Yui fall backwards on her butt. "Aww I lost. But I was in control the whole time!" She exclaimed disappointed as she pouted and got back to her feet, before sheathing her rapier. "but thanks for the duel daddy! It was really fun!" She yelled childishly as she jumped into my arms. I laughed and spun her around as she jumped into my arms "No thank you! You did really great!" I chuckled a little as Asuna flew down to us and hugged me and Yui tightly "Good work both of you. And as a bonus for the winner…" She whispered before kissing me on the cheek "A little bonus" She said seductively as she took my me and Yui´s hands. A blush crept onto my cheeks as she continued "Let´s go home guys. It´s getting late!" She said and smiled before we headed home.

After dinner that night we lied down a little with Yui, all three on the same bed, cuddled up to each other. Yui´s eyes had become extremely heavy, and she soon fell asleep, which only left me and Asuna awake "Aww she is so exhausted" Asuna mumbled as she carefully brushed some of Yui´s hair away from her face, receiving a peaceful hum and a smile from our daughter. I smiled and nodded softly as I leaned over and kissed my virtual wife deeply. She smiled a little and immediately kissed me back, cupping my face in her hands as we kissed.

"Today sure was exhausting. Yui almost beat me" I said with a smirk as we lied and looked at each other for a while. She nodded a little and smiled as she held Yui close to her body "Well she did train a lot today. No wonder she is so exhausted" She mumbled as Yui smiled wider and snuggled up to her mother in her sleep. I smiled softly and kissed her forehead before standing up from the bed. "Well it´s getting late and we´re going to school tomorrow. Let´s log out and get some sleep" I mumbled softly as I lied down on a separate bed to make some space for Asuna and Yui "See you tomorrow?" I asked Asuna softly as she looked over at me and nodded and smiled "See you tomorrow Kazuto" she said softly as we both turned to our respective menu´s and logged out.
