The last few hours had been nothing but full of joy for Sugu. Her older brother had returned, sure he looked different but who cared when he was back. Reports of the SAO survivors awaking where fast approaching, which made her wonder… Why hadn't Kazuto?

It annoyed her the no end, her brother should have been awake after the first two hours like the rest of them yet he hadn't. Sugu decided that she would remain with him until he awoke, so here she was currently sitting on Kazuto's bed smoothing out his hair, running her fingers through his black hair. During her ever constant watched she had noticed a ring on his ring finger which confused her to no end. Who the hell was he married to? He was only 16! The main reason she was doing this was to remind herself that he was here, where he was safe…. Sorta.

According to Kayaba, SAO had become real and the only people who could fight was the survivors. That included Kazuto much to her dismay. Both her and her mother had tried to remove his armour like clothes to put him in something much more confortable, yet they couldn't. They had removed his swords from his back though and Sugu being a kendo enthusiast had tried them out. The turquoise one was hard to handle as it was quite heavy but she had managed yet the black one was impossible to lift on her own. How the hell did Kazuto manage this?

Her thoughts were cut off as someone rang the doorbell repeatedly, almost frantically. With a sad sigh and one last look at her brother, she reluctantly moved off the bed to go and answer the door. "Alright, alright. I'm coming." She said to the person as she ran down the stairs. She opened the wooden door to see the same women she had seen earlier with red, puffy eyes, her breathing coming out fast as she tried to regain breath from running here. "Can I help you?" Sugu said politely with a hint of annoyance in her tone, this woman had disturbed her looking after her brother.

Upon closer inspection she could see the woman was wearing red and white armour with a rapier attached to her side. Must be an SAO player, Sugu thought. "Where's Kirito!?" She said frantically, her face showed fear and panic. "There is no Kirito here, only Kazuto, my brother and he's asleep, so if you will excuse me..." Sugu said trying to close the door but what the woman said next shocked Suguha to the bone.

"Where's my husband!?"

Asuna looked at the girl with suspicion, was this really Suguha? The little sister Kirito talked about often and who he had hoped to see again. The girl stood there with wide eyes, her mouth slightly open as if in shock. Not wanting to be rude, but not feeling very patient she moved into the house, dodged the girl and ran up the stairs. This action seemed to break the girl out of her shock, who immediately pursued her.

"Hey wait!" she said but Asuna didn't listen and opened the door to find what she was looking for. "Kirito!" Asuna shouted with relief moving over to his bedside to where Suguha was originally sat. "Hey!" Sugu said trying to get her attention. "I don't know who you are but get away from my brother! And who are you calling Kirito, this is Kazuto Kirigaya." Sugu said in annoyance.

Asuna sighed sadly and started to run her fingers through Kirito's hair who much to Suguha's surprise leaned into her touch. Why hasn't he woken up yet? Asuna thought as she continued the action while looking slightly to her left confusing Sugu. Kayaba had not only transferred there consciousness into the real world again but there menu's still worked, so Asuna could still see her husband's HP levels and to her relief it was normal. Yet there was another bar slightly beneath it saying transfer. It was at 95% which Asuna presumed that he would be waking up soon, it would explain why he hadn't woken up yet his data would take longer to upload since he had so many skills and his stats were better than any other player. Except the commander of course.

"Sorry for intruding." Asuna said softly making Sugu jump slightly in surprise. "It's just I woke up and panicked when I didn't see him next to me. My parents quickly explained everything and I asked about Kirito, they told me he had gone home and gave me the address and I immediately ran here. He should wake up soon according to this." She gestured slightly to her left. "His data would take longer to upload since he is the best player in the game, second to the commander of course." Sneakily checking the upload meter it now said 98% much to her relief. "How long?" Sugu asked, Asuna turned to her "It says it's at 98% so I expect any minute now." She said calmly.

The girls sat in anticipation while Asuna watched Kirito's upload meter and Sugu just stared at her brother. "Yes!" Asuna exclaimed as the meter hit 100% and Kirito started to stir. "A-Asuna." He said with a small smile on his face, turning to Sugu his smile grew bigger "Sugu." Sugu grabbed his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze while Asuna continued running her fingers threw his hair. Kirito slowly sat up.

"What happened?" He asked. The girls explained everything to him and afterwords, he smiled and then his face turned into a frown. "What's wrong?" Asuna asked not liking the look on his face. "Yui." He said simply, Asuna covered her face with a gasp after everything she forgot about Yui, the necklace was gone. Sugu was still confused (Poor girl) who the hell was Yui and who was this Asuna. Kirito pulled Asuna into an embrace silently crying about the loss of his daughter, it was temporary but still, the necklace gone felt like the family was pulling apart.

"Daddy? Mummy?"

Thank you guys so much for your reviews and comments I was overwhelmed with how many people have read this so far. Thank you so much!

Kirito will be the main character and from now this will be focused around his thoughts and feelings, maybe switching to Asuna from time to time maybe? What do you guys think let me know.
