Author's notes:

-This is the final chapter. It tells of Kirito breaking up with Asuna and his relationship with Sinon.

-I will leave this story as "In-progress" for the rest of the week, while I finish editing it (fixing typos and possibly rewriting a few sentences).

-If anybody has a good picture (read: fan art) of Sinon and Kirito being affectionate (just kissing, keep it rated Teens), that I could use as the story's cover (meaning one its creator allows me to use) I'd appreciate it.

Epilogue

Time: After the events of SAO II, Phantom Bullet arc.

A month had passed since the last BoB and Kirito's investigation. In fact, it was almost time for BoB again.

Kirito had broken up with Asuna a week earlier. It had not gone well. She yelled at him so much, and got even angrier when Yui started crying. He did feel bad about that, and had tried to explain to Yui that he didn't feel like her mommy was a good fit for him anymore, or maybe not even a good fit in the first place.

When Asuna was done shaming him for making Yui cry, she yelled to him about "being seduced by that witch", referring to Sinon. That's when he got mad.

He told Asuna in no uncertain terms that he was done with her before he even met Sinon. Having then lost all patience, he stormed out of the Dicey Café, where he had told her to meet him there.

He chose Agil's place because he didn't want Asuna's mom on his back at the same time. She did call him later in the week though, and saying she was very cold with him for breaking up with her daughter would be an understatement. She berated him for most of an hour, then slammed down the phone in rage when he explained that he did mean to breakup with Asuna, and that he wasn't sorry about it.

Asuna and her mom weren't the only people who didn't understand his decision. Lisbeth, Silica, and even his own sister (cousin) didn't understand. In fact, Suguha had to be separated from him at dinner time, as she was downright pissed that he cared about Asuna back when SHE had a crush on him, and that now, just because "some random girl" came along, (her words, not Kirito's) he was breaking up with Asuna.

Her mom (aunt) had tried to explain to Suguha that Kirito, "though we may not understand his decision" was doing was he thought was best, and it was his life, and his choice to take.

In the end, only Sinon understood him, and he was very glad she did. That's why he fell for her in the first place, after all.

He had used most of the money to ramp up her apartment's security, and used the rest to pay himself a better handgun in GGO.

Speaking of GGO...

He hadn't transferred his account back.

He was too afraid of bumping into Asuna and the others in Alfheim Online (or the New Aincrad, for that matter). Besides, he really enjoyed playing GGO, considering his overpowered reflexes and also that this is the game that Sinon plays.
Did I mention that this is the game that Sinon plays?

He had planned with her to reform their partnership in the tournament, when both of them made it to the final. Sinoto would rise again and leave their enemies in the dust. Waiting for BoB, they trained every day, and had done several duels together.

Meanwhile, in the real world...

Kirito got off his motorcycle, and knocking on Sinon's door, said:

"Sinon! I'm here!"

"Come on in, Kirito!" she answered.

Last night, she had dreamt had about him again. Her life before meeting him seemed so ordinary, so dull.

[As you may have noticed, they called each other Sinon and Kirito even in real life.
This because they were just used to it at this point. Also, it reminded them that they fell in love in the game, while using their respective avatars and in-game names.] END OF SIDE NOTE.

"Ready to go upstairs?" he asked.

She grinned. He had made that joke a few times now, but she still found it funny.

"Yes my love!" she replied. She had started being over-the-top mushy, as Kirito found her exaggerated mushiness hilarious, yet endearing.

So "upstairs" they went, to her bedroom, and...

Started making out of course!

[I want to be able to keep this story rated Teens. And we're not allowed to post sexually explicit content on anyway.] END OF 2ND SIDE NOTE.

And so I shall end this story, with them "lip-smacking" again, this time with their tongues (and almost their throats) going at it.
