Something soft brushed against his lips, encouraging the dual wielding swordsman to wake up and return to his VR reality.

"Kirito," a soft voice spoke his name in a familiar and loving tone and the soft pressure against his lips disappeared as the voice piped up. "You should get up hun, before the girls come running in here to tackle you."

Kirito couldn't help the reluctant groan that escaped his lips and blindly reached for the person who he could feel was on her hands and knees beside him on the bed. "I'm sleeping Asuna…"

"I know, but you know Yuuki, she'll jump on you till you get up and take her out to practice," a gentle hand carded through his messy hair as she spoke, further soothing the sleepy swordsman.

Kirito's hands found the person's waist and he tugged them down next to him, snuggling close to the person. "Get Klein to take her and stay here with me," he mumbled into her strawberry scented hair.

Asuna giggled and Kirito felt her arms slip around his back to rub soft circles into his shirt. "Like that would ever work you dork," she hummed with amusement, "Yuki wants the strongest swordsman in SAO to train her, not a guild leader."

"Hmm… if she wanted a guild leader you'd do," Kirito teased and felt Asuna lightly pinch the skin between his shoulder blades through his shirt. "You're a fantastic guild leader."

"A guild leader who spends most of her time at home dealing with a six and ten aged little girls who I just happened to adopt." Asuna threw the tease back at him and Kirito laughed.

"Okay so adopting Yuuki was my fault," Kirito conceded, "but you've had Yui around for literal years honey."

Asuna sighed with feigned annoyance. "Oh dear, I'm just so sorry for not leaving a baby hardly a year old in the woods alone and by herself."

"Oh come on, stop twisting my words," Kirito complained."You know I didn't… mean it... like that," Kirito trailed off, noticing the sudden lack of Asuna's presence as he opened his eyes. "Asuna?"

Kirito flung off the blankets and sheets, flinging himself to his feet and looking wildly around for his young bride and partner in arms. "Asuna?!" He couldn't help the panic beginning to rise in his voice as the light in the room dimmed, bathing the room with darker, stiff shadows and showing off Asuna's lack of presence.

He could feel his heart pounding in his chest and he ran through the cabin, his feet slipping on the hardwood flooring as he raced up the stairs and toward the girls' bedroom upstairs. "Yui? Yuuki?"

Nothing. There were no traces of his and Asuna's adopted girls beyond discards puppets and various toys laying on the ground alongside Yuuki's obsidian purple sword.

"Come on girls, this isn't funny!" Kirito couldn't help but exclaim, checking each room in the cabin and panicking at the less and beginning lack of their things in the cabin. "Asuna!"

He couldn't find them, Kirito leaned against the dining table, breathing hard like he had just been in a boss battle. Where could they have gone? What happened to them? To the family he and Asuna had built over three years?!

They were nowhere to be seen.

"ASUNA!"

"Kirito!"

Kirito jolted awake to water being splashed all over his face. The cold liquid hitting his face felt like a harsh slap, the liquid mixing with the tears that made his vision extremely blurry as he sat bolt upright. His chest was heaving for air as he sat there, lifting a shaking hand to his face and recognizing the sticky feeling of his body being covered in cold sweat.

"Kaz- I mean Kirito," Sugu's voice pulled Kirito firmly into the reality in front of him and the boy looked up at her, disorientation in his dark eyes. Clearly confused and disorientated from the nightmare, "are you okay? You were crying in your sleep again."

"I'm fine," Kirito's voice shook on each word, only furthering his sister's concern as he ran a hand over his face once and let his hand drop with a shaky breath. "I'm fine, just a nightmare."

"Do you remember anything this time?" Sugu prodded gently and leaned over to brush her brother's cold sweat drenched fringe from his face and eyes. "Anything about what was in the nightmare?"

Kirito swallowed hard, fighting the feeling of his heart beating at the hundred miles a minute before replying. "I… I don't know," he told her shakily, "maybe a cabin of sorts? But… I don't remember who was there with me."

Sugu's eyes were sad and obviously wished that she could help her brother remember as she spoke. "So it was another dream with the mystery person?"

Kirito nodded, then shook his head, disagreeing with himself and making him confused. The boy leaned over, hunching his shoulders and cradling his now aching head in his hands, his body still shaking from the nightmare. What's wrong with me? He asked himself, gritting his teeth against the pain erupting in his skull along with the frustration he was feeling and the deep aching in his heart. Why can't I remember her? He stopped short. "Her…"

"Huh?" Sugu asked, blinking at him in confusion before it clicked in her mind and her green eyes brightened considerably, "the mystery person's a girl?"

Kirito nodded a little, "I think…" he said, speaking slowly and thinking, "I'm just not sure though."

Sugu smiled at her brother and gently began to rub at his back, hoping to make him feel better. "At least it's something right? I mean it shows that being around these people from SAO all the time is making your memories clear up some. You remember Sachi and the Moonlit Black Cats now and bits and pieces of the first few months, plus we finally have a gender to match to the mystery person you dream about."

"I don't choose to dream about them all," Kirito murmured softly, thinking his mind was playing tricks on him went he felt something stir in his heart and could've sworn he heard footsteps down the hall through walls that were supposed to be almost completely soundproof. "I just… I feel like I'm missing something."

Kirito may not be able to see Sugu's sad expression, but he could feel a little of the emotion emanating from her along with the frustration that she couldn't help him. He took a deep breath to steady himself and moved away from her with a shaky smile, trying to get himself under control and making Sugu worry about him less. "I'm okay now Sugu, you can go back to your room. Tell Liz I'm sorry for waking you both."

"How about you apologize in person you dork," a certain pink haired girl poked her head through the swordsman's quarters, her pink hair in goofy disarray in the form of her bed head for this morning. Her pink eyes were amused despite her rather cranky words and she stepped into the room, pulling the door all the way open and keeping it open.

"Sorry Liz," Kirito apologize with a smile, his smile still shaken up from his nightmare. "Didn't mean to ruin your beauty sleep." As he said that he waved a finger around toward his hair in the form of a cheeky tease.

Liz gave him a grinning smirk, "this beauty's always prepared to be a beauty," she took the tease in her stride and straightened her expression into a more serious one. "Now get your butt off of that bed and throw on some running shoes and a jacket. It's a little chilly outside."

Kirito nodded and did as Liz suggested, having gotten used to getting up and running after a nightmare. Not that Liz ever came, rather her rather quiet friend Asuna ran with him, seemingly able to sense whenever he was up early from a nightmare. He could've sworn the beautiful chestnut haired girl had him under surveillance if Liz hadn't told him Asuna wasn't the type, she was just really kind and enjoyed helping others.

"Come on Sugu, we've got an hour before role call," Liz told Kirito's sister with a grin, "I'm looking forward to a few more zz's, what do you think?"

Sugu glanced at her brother tying his shoes, her eyes lingering worriedly on him, her face coated in concern.

"You ready Kirito?" Asuna's slim form emerged at the door, her footsteps softer than the average human's, as if she was walking on a bed of air instead of the ground. The chestnut haired girl was wearing a white and red windbreaker with three stars at the collar, a sign of her ranking in her guild the Oath of Justice. Paired with the wind breaker that was zipped up to the collar were simple light grey yoga pants to protect her legs from the chilly morning air and her staple white and red running shoes. Her long hair was pulled up into a long pony, leaving the silky strands to sway and bounce with her movements.

Kirito looked up from his shoes and stood up, casting his sister a reassuring smile before jogging toward the door, "yeah, let's get out there."

Asuna nodded, handing him one of her bluetooth earbuds before turning and jogging down the hall, slowing her pace to match Kirito's, which he was grateful for. He had seen her sprint times listed in the records and while he was still inhumanely fast, she almost doubled his speed with ease. Asuna practically walked on air, seemingly unaffected by friction and easily splitting the air around her in the form of a lightning fast sprint. "Come on," she gestured to him and took the lead as they escaped the main building's front doors and cold air whipped against their faces, nipping at their nose.

Asuna lead the way in silence besides their music as they jogged at the fast pace around the left side of the sets of trails bordering and weaving through the campus for about ten minutes. Letting Kirito stew in his thoughts for a while till speaking up. "Don't be hard on yourself."

Kirito shook the cobwebs of his thoughts from his head and turned his head toward her for a moment before looking forward again to make sure he didn't crash into any trees again. "Come again?"

Asuna patiently explained it again, her expression as calm and peaceful as it always was whenever he saw her running outside. which she did pretty much all free time every day besides hanging out with Liz and the two Kirigaya siblings. "Don't be so hard on yourself for not remembering the subject of your dreams," she explained in that calm even voice of hers. "Our memories are faulty and that means we could be dreaming about things that our brains were reprogrammed to bury deep in our minds." She glanced at him and gave him a breathtaking but sincere smile, "it'll take time for our brains to return to normal even with the correct stimulation."

Kirito had to agree with her, deep down he knew it was just a matter of time till he found his buried memories beneath the black hole that existed there. "I guess you're right," he agreed with a deep breath as they turned a corner and continued running, "I just have to be patient."

Asuna hummed an agreement and kept running, her amber and blue eyes wandering around the landscape with idle attention.

Kirito meanwhile was thinking about what Asuna had said. Was it really just a matter of time? What if it took years to remember who stood at his side in SAO for those three years and what about that younger girl's voice that echoed in his mind? Was she here somewhere too?

"Do you have any particular memories of someone blocked too Asuna?" He didn't even notice he asked the question till Asuna stopped abruptly, giving him a slightly wary look. He then blinked, "what?" He mentally ran through what he had been thinking, did he say something strange?

After a moment the wariness in Asuna's eyes vanished and she gave him a gentle smile. "Of course," she told him patiently. A soft glitter of affection twinkling in her eyes for the one she was speaking of. The warm tones of her voice spoke of many feelings and memories although locked away, were unique and precious to the girl's heart, spoke of her feelings for the one she was speaking about, "and when my memories return I know I'll search for him again. Just like how he searched for me."

Kirito couldn't help but smile at her sincerity and optimism, "whoever he is is the luckiest player around."

Asuna laughed, "c'mon, we should be running not talking," she started running at a soft pace, matching Kirito's run as he followed suit. "Plus if anything it's the other way around, after all, he saved me."

Kirito lightly shook his head in disapproval, his eyes twinkling with soft amusement. Nah, the guy's luckier Asuna. You're too beautiful and special for any average guy in the world.

If only he knew how right his statement actually was as he ran beside her, oblivious to their past together inside the games.


Why I'm keeping these so short I have no idea XD But I hope you all enjoy them, even though I'm an idiot and forgot to set my calendar alarm for the next upload XD
