Good morning England! Few hours ago at 12:10 AM There was a Terrorist attack! They destroyed a building for no reason and they were from Iran! And we're in a question! Why they attacked London and for what reason! This is Josh Hollander, goodbye!


Kirito took Eiji to the hospital, it was 4 am in the morning as he was sleeping on a chair next fo Patrick. He was having a nightmare, about Saeeds talking, Simon was Saugus American cousin. Kirito was having a nightmare, he was seeing Simon killing Asuna and Sachi, and laughed evily at him.

Kirito woke up while he was sweatie, breathing in anxiousness and fear. Patrick looks at him. "You okay dude?" he asked him as Kirito looks down woth his worried face. "No, not really!" Kirito replied while Patrick was staring at him. "Ohh now you woke up, can you please explain what happened back there? You weren't yourself back there!" Patrick asked nicely as Kirito looked up at him, still sweatie. "Sugou Nobuyuki, 8 years ago after I finished SAO he created a game called Alfiem Online. He captured my wife Asuna in there to use her as an advantage, to rape!" Kirito said as Patrick got shock, looking at him. "Oh my God! Then what happened?" Patrick asked as Kirito looked down at the ground to his toes.

"I logged into the game and saved my wife and thousands players who were under control of Sugou, then he got in the jail for 10 years for what he did. And now, his American cousin Simon! he knows a lot about me as far as I can tell and Saeed told!" Kirito got afraid and worried about his wife and child, Asuna and Sachi. what if he knows where Kirito and Asuna lives? What if he lost his family because of Simon's Vengeance! Patrick was looking at him, felt him. "I'm sorry we put you in a situation like this Kirito." Patrick said, takes a deep breath.

"I didn't tell Asuna that I'm gonna go and fight with bad people and save the world. I didn't want her to be worried." Kirito said, a tear fall to the ground from his eye. "I... I don't want this happen!" Kirito said as Patrick put his left hand on his shoulder. Kirito looked up at him as Patrick smiled. "You lie to your wife to keep her safe, I understand Kirito. That's what a best father do, fighting and dying to protect his family, but Kirito. In my opinion you should go, and tell your wife about this! Don't make her stay worried about you!" Patrick advised Kirito as Kirito was listening to him. "But... what about the mission?" Kirito asked.

"Saeed said they're working on digging the cave and they'll get to the sword tomorrow. So Kirito, we've 30 hours to move on!" Patrick told him. "Go Kirito before it's too late. Tell your wife about this! Don't do the mistake I did! I lost my wife in the road by a terrorist while she was pregnant because I lied that I'm actually a reporter. Now go home! Tell her and then come back! I'll handle everything." Patrick said in smile as Kirito dropped another tear, smiled back. "Thanks Pat." Kirito said as he stood up "I'll come back at 17 pm!" Kirito said as Patrick understood. "Alright boy! we'll stay with Eiji" he said as Kirito smiled, walked away. Kirito returned back to hotel and grabbed his bag. Then after that, he got to the airport as he got a private flight to get home, and tell Asuna everything. Inside the plane, he looked at his left hand, his finger ring, looking at the wedding ring he has on his finger, same as Asuna who has the ring Kirito bought her, a ring with small blue gem. thinking about the past, the moments in SAO, a wooden house near the beach, they had so much fun and amazing moments in that 2 years. He smiled, and worried what if Asuna gets mad and sad if he says the truth

Asuna was in the studio of was singing behind a microphone while looking at the note. She was wearing a white and blue jacket, brown skirts, long thigh socks and black heels. Her voice is so beautiful as she was a good singer. She was singing 'Crossing Field' for the test in Japanese language.
Her teacher Mr Grayson clapped hands for her after she finished her singing. she took pff the headset and smiles. Mr Greyson turned on the microphone to ralk to Asuna. "That was amazing Mrs Kirigaya! You're keep getting better and better!" He told her as Asuna smiled. looked at the window on her left side to see her teacher. "Thank you sir! But I feel I still have some problems after the part of 'I wanna always be with you' you know the final line!" Asuna said. "No mrs Its all good! You actually did it very good don't worry about it!" Greyson said as Asuna got happy and smiles. "I'm glad about this!" She said as her phone ringed in her purse. she looked down, picked it up as she was it was 10 AM, also got a notification from Kirito that 'He's in Los Angeles' and wants to see Asuna. Asuna looked at the window as she put back her phone into the purse. "Excuse me sir I've to go! I gotta see my husband!" Asuna said as Greyson smiled. "Yes sure, your class was over anyways." Greyson said as Asuna walked out from the room.

"Thank you sir, see you next time!" She said in smile and walked out. She got back home. "Sachi I'm home!" Asuna said in smile as Sachi walked to her, smiling. "Hi mommy!" she said as she hugged her mother as Asuna hugged her back. "Hi my princess! how are you doing?" Asuna asked while smiling. Sachi looks at her. "Mommy I'm learning how to make a pizza! From the internet!" Sachi said in passion as Asuna smiled at her. "Aww my darling is trying to cook? Alright we can do it at Friday okay?" Asuna asked as Sachi nodded in happiness.

moments passed as Asuna wear her pink long T-shirt for the house. it was 11:10 am as she heared a key getting inside her houses door lock. The door open as it was her husband Kirito who's getting inside. "I'm back!" Kirito said as he puts down his bag. Sachi ran to him and jumped in his hug. "DADDY! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Sachi said in passion as Kirito hugged ger back. "Hi Sachi! my dear, daddy missed you too!" he said as Asuna walked to him, smiling at him. "Hi darling!" she said as Kirito let go Sachi, smiles at Asuna. "Hey Asuna. How's everything?" Kirito asked as Asuna grabbed his bag. "It was good, I finally did it! Singing!" She said as Kirito smiled, but anxiousness was able to be seen in his eyes. "Ohh good! congrates baby!" he said as Asuna looked into his eyes.

"Kirito are you okay? You look nervous!" Asuna asked normally as Kirito tried to act normal. "Yes I'm fine honey don't worry, we just need to talk for a moment." Kirito said as Asuna was a bit confused. "Okay? But first let me unpack your bag its so heavy!" She said as she dragged his bag at their bedroom. Kirito suddenly remembered that he put his Pistol inside the bag as he widen his eyes in shock! "No need honey!" He said loud but it was too late. He ran inside the bedroom as he saw Asuna put his clothes on their bed and found his pistol, holding it in her hand. "..." Asuna was just silent. "Asuna are you okay?" Kirito asked. Asuna turned to him in anger, showing him his own pistol in her hand. "Kirito what's this?! Is this a gun?" Asuna asked as she pulled out the pistols clip as she saw real bullets in it. "Asuna I..." Kirito said while Asuna was looking at him in anger and closed the bedrooms door to keep away Sachi.

"Explain Kirito! Why are you having a gun in your bag huh? Did you kill someone!?" Asuna asked in anger, put away the gun as Kirito took a deep breath in sadness. "I... I lied..." He said in depression. "Lied about what?" she asked seriously as she folded her arms under her chests. Kirito looked up at her and started to explain everything. He told her about the mission, demon, Simon and everything, even the sword of thunder and the Samurai. he told her the truth while Asuna was listening in 5 minutes of him, talking.
"And if I don't go, the world will be destroyed! even you, and Sachi!" he explained to her everything. Asunas eyes filled with tears as she slapped Kiritos face as Kirito put his left hand on the place were Asuna slapped him, because he never lied to his lovely wife. This lie, was so painful to her as she started to cry. "Why d-didn't you tell me!WHY?!" She yelled while crying, Kirito held her right hand. "Asuna I didn't tell you because I didn't want to put you in this situation!" Kirito said as Asuna looked into his eyes and cries more. "But why lying! You could've died you idiot!" She yelled at him as Kirito was getting sad as well. "WHY DID YOU LIE ABOUT SOMETHING... BIG LIKE THIS?! What if you die?! Who raise Sachi! No one?! Do you even know how will I FEEL?! YOUR WIFE! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!" Asuna yelled while crying as Kiritos heart was beating faster in sadness.

"Tell me Kirito, why did you lie?" Asuna asked while crying as Kirito held her hands, looking at her. "Because I didn't want to put you in this trouble, and Sachi! I'm doing it for you!" Kirito explained. "Do you remember SAO! Floor 75! You sacrificed yourself for me! I almost lost you!" Kirito started to tell her about the past while Asuna was listening. "Kirito, it was past! I don't care what happened in the past anymore and you still care?!" Asuna said in anger and sadness. "But it's difficult Asuna!" Kirito said. "WHY IS IT DIFFICULT?!" Asuna yelled, Kirito looked at her in anger.

"BECAUSE I LOST SO MANY PEOPLE!T HEY SACRIFICED THEIR LIFE FOR ME!" he yelled. "I lost a friend named Sachi! she was like my sister as she died for me! her team committed suicide because they realized I was a beta player and they said it was my fault Sachi died! and you! Sugoh captured you, raped you, hurt you after I finished SAO! Original Scale, your memories were lost! and then in the underworld..." he looked down, crying.

"I lost a friend, his name was Eugeo... he sacrificed himself for me to save the life... It was my fault... I wasn't doing anything but only crying, as I saw you in Stacia account and hugged me while I was on the wheelchair. I was crying why you' were there? What if you die for me?! I didn't fight that moment because I suffered a lot! I don't want to lose you! W-what if Simon and his men hurt you?! I don't want that happen! That's why I lied! For your safety!" Kirito told his feelings to her as Asuna hugged him while he was crying.

"It's okay Kirito, I understand. I know how does it feel, I know the pain of this feeling. I underworld you my love." Asuna told him, looking in his eyes as she wipped off his tear from his right eye with her thumb. "I love you Kirito, and I would rather die to keep you safe. You're so important to me, and I also don't want to lose you Kirito. I love you from the bottom of my soul and heart, my lovely man." she said. "You can go Kirito, and fight for protection, but promise one thing! Come back alive! I'm begging you to stay alive!" Asuna begged him as Kirito held her hands, looking at her. "I promise Asuna. I promise I will be careful. I love you too, always and forever." he said as they slowly closed their eyes and kissed each others on the lips as they stopped crying.

after they finished Kissing, she looks into his eyes, worried. "When will you attack the cave for the sword?" Asuna asked. "Tomorrow honey, Tomorrow Simon will get to the sword and I've to stop him." Kirito said, grabbing his pistol and put the clip in it. "I will come back after I get the sword." He said as Asuna hugged him one more time. "Be careful there Kirito." she said as Kirito hugged her back. "I will, I promise" he said as he heard a knock on the house door. He walked to the door and opened it, he saw Alice, waiting for him. "Hey Kirito!" Alice said as Kirito surprised. "Alice? What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Patrick explained to me everything you said back in the hospital. So he sent me here to protect Asuna and Sachi." she said as Asuna stood next to Kirito, sees Alice. "Oh hey Alice!" she said hi as Alice smiled. "Hi Asuna, or should I say Stacia?!" she said as they laughed. "Alright, come in." Kirito invited her in.
after moments, Kirito unpacked his bag and his gun. he hugged his daughter Sachi and kissed her cheek. "Goodbye honey, be a good girl and listen to your mom okay?" Kirito said as Sachi hugged her back. "I will daddy, be careful" she said. Kirito let her go and hugged Asuna. "Goodbye Asuna, I'll come back soon I promise" he said as she hugged her back. "I know, I'll be waiting for you" Asuna said as he walked to Alice. "Don't worry Kirito, I'll keep an eye on them and I will keep them safe. I promise!" Alice said as Kirito smiled. "Thank you Alice, I'm counting on you." He said as he said his final goodbye, and left his family behind to London again, he promised his wife that he'll be careful and fight like a man, a hero, to stay alive.
