She's Mine Kirito


"Relax, the most you two can do right now is to relax and try to stay calm," the police officer told Asuna and Kazuto almost disinterestedly, "we're working on finding her-"

"All you're doing is a lot of standing around!" Kazuto snapped and Asuna didn't reprimand her best friend, not while she agreed with him in this case. When they had been here for an hour, trying to make him understand that this wasn't just a kid missing, but that they had seen what happened, namely that she had been taken and by someone that was armed.

"Sir, calm down-"

"You're Kazuto Kirigaya, right? The girl's father?" Another officer approached them, though unlike the officer sitting behind the desk, this man was wearing a bullet proof vest and had black hair and silver eyes.

"Yes, I'm the father of the girl who was abducted!" Kazuto snapped and Asuna placed a hand on his shoulder to calm him down a little.

"I'm his best friend," she explained who she was, "if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to who's in charge of this recovery."

"You're looking at him," the officer replied simply and offered his gloved hand to Kirito to shake, "Officer Asada at your service. I apologize about the delays, we're actually waiting on someone to get here before we take off to find your daughter. I promise we're working as fast as we can-"

"Do you have a child?" Kazuto snapped and Asuna gave him a sharp look.

"Kazuto, that's enough-"

"It's alright," Officer Asada waved off the rude question and retracted his hand while also answering Kazuto's question. "I do, just one, a daughter probably around your age, and in fact you're in luck that she just got back from a flight, since that's who we're waiting on."

Right after he said those words, a woman walked in through the glass doors of the station, covered in snow and looking rather cross with the weather. While walking at her feet was a dog as dark as the night sky besides their sharp green eyes that looked as serious as their owner's steely silver colored ones.

"Shino?" Kazuto looked surprised to see the woman, who promptly scowled at him as she walked past. "I didn't know you were back-"

"Me being in another country or on a plane doesn't given you the right to not tell me about this, and trust me, we'll be talking about this later," Shino, evidently, replied stiffly and caught the set of keys that her father, who looked a bit confused himself, threw to her.

Asuna was in the same boat. She had no idea who this woman was other than that she was this kind officer's daughter. How she and Kirito were linked together and why she was so offended, Asuna didn't know-

"She's mine too, you asshole," and with that she was gone, ducking into an off limits area, likely to prepare for whatever her job was in all of this- wait. Did she just say that Yui was hers?

It clicked, the silver eyes, Yui's much lighter eye color than Kirito's, the fair skin unlike Kirito's more just pale skin from lack of sunlight, and Yui's big smile at how Tilnel reminded her of her mother's dog.

Asuna whirled on her friend, "you didn't tell Yui's mother that this happened?! Kazuto, what were you thinking?!"

Kirito looked away from her, "it's complicated alright. Neither of us get along-"

"That doesn't matter, she's still Yui's mother-"

"Just because she's hers genetically doesn't mean she's her parent, alright?" Kirito snapped and when Asuna narrowed her eyes at the hostility, Kirito ran a hand through his messy hair. "I'm sorry, I know, I should've contacted her about this, okay? Especially since she's a tracking K-9 handler."

Oh this just got better and better!

Asuna had half a mind to slap her friend, with only the long friendship through most of highschool and helping him raise his daughter around school keeping her from slapping the computer major.

"Perhaps you both don't get along because young man, you don't respect her decisions," the officer in front of them stated calmly, surprisingly calmly for the fact that Kirito had just dissed his daughter and hadn't told her that it was their daughter that was abducted. "Now, my emotions won't effect the way I do my job, but you should recognize that my daughter has her reasons for disagreeing with your decisions and for struggling to bond with her, especially with how young she was when it all happened."

It all made sense, especially since Asuna remembered being part of Kirito's life in their senior year and how he was learning to take care of a one year old girl.

The door opened one last time to reveal a brunette with pink highlights with her arms full of a bag of sorts that Asuna recognized from her college. "My god it's cold," she muttered, but perked up when she saw Officer Asada and lifted the bag in her arms a bit, "hey, pops, brought some of Shi-Shi's prototypes for her."

The officer smiled at the brunette, "she's in the back, you're always welcome to run with us Rika if you want."

"Sweet, I'm hoping these work this time," Rika hummed and went trotting off, being a perfect icebreaker and distraction for Asuna, since this was the brunette that Asuna had a crush on. Meaning this was a terrible time to be seeing her in person.


"How'd you know about all of this?" Asuna asked Rika softly while they watched Shino discuss something with her father while being handed a pistol.

"Oh, I live with Shino cause I'm her best friend," Rika hummed casually and leaned back against the desk, completely ignoring the fact that she was getting snow on the officer's desk. "We were also partners at school and she's a software engineer around this whole thing, so we work together a lot." She gave Asuna a charming smile that in any other situation would've made her ears flush a little, "what about you? Kirito drag you into this or something? It's rare to see such a pretty girl being involved in stuff like this~"

Asuna sighed and ultimately decided to throw her friend partway under the bus, since she doubted it could make the friendly Rika Shinozaki give him the full silent treatment. "Kirito's the girl's father and I was there when it all happened."

"Seriously? Yikes," Rika blinked and shook her head with a mild whistle, "especially since that means that he didn't tell Shino about it."

Asuna sighed in relief, so Rika knew that the two shared a child between them despite their icy relationship. "I'm just glad I don't have to tell you about how stupid he was about that. Though I didn't even know you knew Yui's mother."

"Well you and I don't usually interact a lot," Rika pointed out with a snort, "outside of the whole, you know, you being my sister's music teacher and both of us sharing some classes in college last year, we just hang out together in VR rather than IRL. But yeah," she looked over at Shino, "I've known Yui since she was a baby, since I was there before when Shino and Kirito completely gave up on each other."

"It ended that badly, huh?" Asuna breathed out a sigh and rubbed at her forehead, "honestly that doesn't surprise me. Kirito wasn't exactly part of a smart group in high school and still acts like a child sometimes."

"Ending badly is an understatement," Rika admitted a bit grimly, "it's not my business giving the details of anything, but there's a reason they don't even interact anymore outside of Shino picking Yui up on her weekends."

Asuna was't sure that she wanted to know what her idiot of a best friend had done.

"You'd never know they grew up together," Rika stated rather bluntly and Asuna groaned, of course.

"I'm so sorry for my best friend being an idiot." Because she was starting to really want to strangle Kirito for pulling a stunt like this, all of it.

"Eh, don't worry about it… wanna be there with me afterward to make sure they don't kill each other?"

"...I don't really have a choice here, do I?"

"I mean… yeah, but isn't it better if a pretty girl asks you?"

She wasn't going to answer that question.
