A/N: Thank you, minna-sama for reviewing. One more chapter and this story will end. This chapter will probably the longest out of all chapters in this story. Let's start!

Kirigaya household

Three days has passed since Naruto fall into coma, Kirito was suspicious that it has something to do with Zekken's condition. Why would Naruto ask for her condition if he didn't want to help her? But Kirito knew that the surviving rate of Zekken is very low near zero. Because he has exchanging problems with Kurahashi via emails, he found out that only those in terminal care will be using Medicuboid. And Zekken is the first tester. But despite that he also knew that Naruto is very stubborn and reckless as well. He would go to any length to save his friends. The prime example is during the time in SAO and the horrible incident with Sugou in ALO. Kirito guessed that after so many damaged deal to his body, Naruto's health is not in a very good condition despite how he looks. It's time to check out that hospital to find out some clue.

Kirito walked out of the house which caught Suguha attention. It was near dinner time and her brother decided to go somewhere?

"Onii-chan, where are you going? I am nearly finished cooking" asked Suguha with a scowl on her face.

Kirito turned back to her and apologized. "Gomen, Sugu. Eat without me this time. I need to check out somewhere". With that he opened the door and walked out of the house. But he could still hear Suguha shouted out

"Can't you do it after dinner?!"

Kirito sighed and quickly headed to his bike and rev it up. He drives straight to the direction of the Yokohama Port. He really felt a bad feeling. Why the heck things can't be normal for once? First, they managed to escape the death game thanks to Naruto effort. Then the crazy Sugou was about control everyone through the device that control the human brains. That time he stopped him and rescued Naruto. Then the crazy creep from the former red guild Laughing Coffin decided to lure Naruto in GGO for the revenge. But in the end they only managed to capture only one, the other managed to escape. What kind of tragedy will happen this time?

Yokohama Port
Northern General Hospital

Because of Uzumaki's blood incredible healing abilities, Yuuki could walk normally now. But she chose to stay by Naruto's side. Even though Kurahashi has offered her to come back to her old house to reunite with her father. Though Yuuki insisted that she will stay here for some time. Kurahashi understood why, she don't want to be separated from her now related brother for now.

Yuuki is sitting near Naruto's bed while grasping his hand. "Onii-sama, please wake up soon. I can't bare to see you in a state like this. Onii-sama, I know always brave, reckless and overconfident to the point of arrogance. But now you are just lying motionlessly on the bed. I-it's just not right at all. Onii-sama should always be the strongest, the unshakable for the others to depend on, but not lying here hopelessly". With each words a tear started to shed from her eyes. Yuuki rubbed her eyes to clear her sight and continued. "I know, that you said I shouldn't blame myself, because this is your own choice. B-but I can't, Onii-sama. I am feeling guilty for your condition. I don't know what to do now to lift that guilt of my shoulder. I... don't think that my life will return to normal without you, Onii-sama"

Behind the door, Kurahashi heard her and sighed solemnly. He would think that with Naruto's sacrifice, Yuuki will be able to move on with life. But it seems Yuuki's feelings for him is so strong that even Naruto himself didn't aware of that. But he still somehow to convince her to return to her father. Who knows when Naruto will wake up. Maybe weeks or months and the worst case he won't wake up at all.

Elsewhere

Asada Shino is sitting on her seat in the train and looked out of the window. She has visited her mother and now is returning to her home. As Shino looked out of the window, she couldn't help but think about her boyfriend. She frowned when she guessed that with her leaving Naruto may eat his ramen every day. Of course he could, because no one is there to control him. The pervert is always watching some kind of beauty contest or some adult movie and completely ignored everything around him. Actually the only times she saw him serious was when he world on Naruto's game project. When she thought about Naruto, she smiled fondly. He is an arrogant and cheeky bastard that always tried to prank her when she was at home. Home... since when did she start to call Naruto's apartment her home? She knew the answer herself. Since the time she moved in with him. She didn't know how, but her mother has found out about Naruto and teased her about that. She even joked that she didn't mind for her and Naruto to get married when they reach 18.

Get married, huh? That thought actually crossed her mind sometimes, because after living with Naruto for a while she could clearly say that she is in love with him. Not want to brag, but her relationship with Naruto has become much closer, after she moved in with him. Of course, Shino knows that he still has Rika and Suguha as his girlfriends, but they can't spend as much time as she with Naruto. And if she and Naruto tight a knot then they won't be able to pursue him anymore. She knew that is selfish, but that is what she always desired. A family of her own. Of course, to think about children at this age is still early. But she wants Naruto to be only hers. And her only his.

What Shino didn't know, is a horrible revelation that is waiting for her in Tokyo.

Northern General Hospital

Kazuto has arrived at the entrance of the hospital. He looked at the hospital outwardly and entered it. Kazuto approached one of the reception cabin and asked.

"I am sorry. But is there a person named Yuuki here?" Kazuto guessed that Zekken like Asuna might use her real name to name her avatar, so he decided to give it a shot.

"Yes, there is. But who are you to Yuuki-san?" the receptionist replied back.

"Uhm... I am one of her friends. We never met face to face, so I decided to visit her this time" Kazuto scratched his head in thought then replied back.

The receptionist was silent for a minute then nodded her head. "Alright. Wait here for a minute, I will call someone that will take you to see her"

"Thank you" respond Kazuto and bowed his head.

Not long after that, a doctor began to approach him. But Kazuto widened his eyes because he recognized this person. He is the same person that he is exchanging emails to fix his problems. Though it seems he was not the only one surprised, because he could see Kurahashi has the same expression as his.

"Well, that's a surprise. Never expected to see you here, Kirito-kun" Kurahashi greet Kirito and offered him a hand to shake.

"I know that you said you works at the hospital, but it is still a surprise to see you here, Kurahashi-san" Kazuto shook his hand with a smile.

"So why are you here? Yuuki-kun certainly told me about you, an exceptionally stronger swordsman, that is fighting equal with her, but I didn't think that you are close to her" asked Kurahashi curiously.

"I am actually for the other reason" Kirito shook his head and continued. "The past 3 days, is there a person named Uzumaki Yuuki Naruto comes here?"

Kurahashi bit his lower lip and looked down. Kirito narrowed his eyes at doctor's action. Kurahashi took a deep breath and began to walk away while said. "Just follow me, Kirito-kun. Any questions, please, asked them when we arrive"

Kirito nodded his head curtly and began to follow Kurahashi. He has a very bad feeling about this. Very bad.

They stopped in front of a door that write 'special case'. Kurahashi turned to Kazuto and warned. "You can find all your answers here. There is one more person in there, so, please, don't pressed on her too much. She has gone through a lot already. What you may see inside will certainly struck you hard.
I recommend you get a hold of yourself. I'll be going now. There are still many patients that need to take care of"

Kazuto nodded his head carefully and watched as Kurahashi turned back to walk away. Kazuto turned back to the door, took a deep breath before hold to the door-handle and slowly opened it. When he looked in he saw a girl with short dark hair is sitting near the bed that the figure is currently lying. By approaching closer he widened his eyes and gasped in shock and horror. The figure that was lying helplessly on the bed is none other than his best friend, Uzumaki Yuuki Naruto.

At first, Yuuki didn't noticed Kazuto's presence because she is focusing all her attention at her unconscious brother. But when a gasped was produced, she immediately turned back and saw a boy with dark hair, he has a girly face and was wearing in dark clothes. She could recognize him easily as Kirito, because he didn't look that much different when he was in game.

"Kirito-san? You've come" Yuuki greeted him quietly.

"W-what happen to Naruto? W-why is he in this condition?" Kazuto approached her and asked, still with a very shock expression.

Yuuki bit her lower lip in guilt. How should she tell him? That, Naruto is here, in this condition, because of her?

Seeing she is hesitant, Kirito decided to encourage her. "Please, tell me the truth. No matter what I won't judge you. Because I know it's not your fault at all"

Yuuki reluctantly looked up at Kazuto and slowly nodded her head. She started to retold from the moment she revealed her seemingly incurable illness to the moment where Naruto found out a way to save her life and sacrificed himself. The surviving rate was 50%.

Even though Kirito knew that Naruto loved to gamble. He never expected for him to even gamble his own life. What kind of crazy person will do something like that for the sake of the other. The answer is only one. Naruto. In the whole world there won't be such a crazy bastard like him.

"I should've expected that" said Kirito with sighed then glanced towards Yuuki to add. "You know, it's not the only time he sacrifice himself to save someone. And if count this time, with you. He has sacrificed himself 4 times in total"

"F-four times? Onii-sama nearly died 4 times" whispered Yuuki with her eyes widened in horror. Her eyes slowly start to tear up.

Kazuto nodded his head solemnly and continued. "Yeah. The first time, he sacrifice himself to save all the SAO players from that death game by fighting the GM himself. He was presumed dead , but actually was transferred to the other VRMMO. The second time, according to Asuna, he used the moment the server was in maintenance to rescue Asuna and helped her to log out. Even though he has lost his memory by then. He was later captured by a mad man and being electrocute to near death. That was the time when he was the closest to death. The third time, he logged in GGO to settle scores with the former red guilt members of SAO. He created a plan to lure and captured the culprit. Even though the operation was a success he still suffered some unexpected consequence". Kirito turned to her and stared longingly at her which unnerve Yuuki a little. "And then he chose to save you and again end up in the hospital. I know that of his health was normal he won't be lying here. The consequences of the past incidents have lead him to this state. It's not your fault at all. And I am sure that Naruto will want you to move on with your life"

"B-but I am still feel guilty for what happened to Onii-sama! I-I can't help but not blame myself. I-If not for me, t-then Onii-sama would never-" retort Yuuki and start to sob with each sentence. But Kirito interrupted her.

"If not for you then Naruto won't end up here? Yes, that maybe true. But there can't be the other outcome, because Naruto always cherish bonds with his friends and close ones to him. In other words, even if you refuse his help. He will still save you. That's what kind of a person Naruto is". Kirito tilt his head curiously and asked one question that bothered him since he heard her called his friend 'onii-sama'. "Why are you calling Naruto, 'onii-sama', though?"

"Before you told me those incredible stories about him, I already decided to call him 'onii-sama'. And after hearing your stories about him, I think that title suit him best, for me exceptionally. After all what he has been through and done called him just nii-san or aniki is just mere disrespect. So 'onii-sama' suits him best" explained Yuuki with a light smile.

"Souka" muttered Kazuto silently and looked at the sleeping figure of Naruto. So Naruto gained a new cute imouto, eh? Wonder what Asuna and others will say. Thinking about them, made Kazuto remembered that they still didn't know anything. He need to inform them immediately. Sure they will be devastated by this revelation, but better reveal to them now then later. With that thought, Kirito stood up and walked to the door which gained Yuuki's attention.

"Are you leaving already, Kirito?"

"I need to inform Asuna and the others about Naruto. They still didn't know anything. I am sure you understand that it's better to reveal them now rather then hide the truth and lied to them. Giving them a false hope is not the best option" explained Kirito and turned his head slightly to Yuuki. Then he walked out and closed the door lightly.

Yuuki nodded hesitantly as she understood the situation. But she is feeling nervous now. Soon she will be able to see Asuna for the first time IRL. She wondered what she should say to her? Will they become friends like in ALO? Will she accept her? Numerous of questions running in Yuuki's head at this moment.

Yuuki's household

Asuna decided to convince her mother about the transferring matter. She wanted to show her mother the wonderful virtual world which created by the person she loves. Besides, she wants to help her mother to move on and forgive Naruto's parents. She wants for her to accept Naruto and loved him like her son like the rest of the family. She brought one more spared Amusphere with her and right now is standing next to her mother's room. Asuna knocked slightly and Kyoko gave her permission to come in.

When she walked in she saw that her mother is sitting at the computer. Asuna slowly approached her and said. "Kaa-san, can I take a little of your time?"

Kyoko slowly turned to her daughter and replied. "I am listening"

"Please, put this on your head" Asuna offered her mother the Amusphere.

"What for? I told you already I am not interested in that false world of yours" retort Kyoko with disdain, looking aside slightly.

"I...I want to show you something. And tell you something" argued Asuna

"Then tell me, here. What is the problem?" replied Kyoko with a tilt of her head.

"No". Asuna shook her head. "Here is not the suitable place for our talk. Please, just once and I won't ever ask you to put it ever again"

Kyoko sighed and nodded her head. "Ok, but only this once". Asuna nodded her head. Kyoko put the Amusphere on her head the asked curiously. "So...what to do next?"

Asuna pressed a button to turn it on while said. "You just wait here for me. I will use the other device in my room to logged us both in. In this Amusphere, there is already my other account registered . When you logged in just wait for me, ok?". Kyoko nodded her head

Asuna quickly ran upstairs to her room and lied down to the bed, to activate the other Amusphere. "Link start!". With those words both her and Kyoko were transferred to the world of ALO.

ALO
Asuna's cabin

When Asuna logged in she saw that her mother inspecting her other avatar. Asuna's other avatar is a Sylph that has shoulder length hair. It actually suit Kyoko very much because they basically has the same hairstyle.

"How unusual to look in the mirror and see a face that is not yours" muttered Kyoko with eyes narrowed in interest. Then she started to bounce on her feet. "And this body is very light"

"Well, this avatar is only 40 kg, while you weigh more IRL, kaa-san" Asuna approached her mother. Kyoko turned to her daughter with deadpanned eyes.

"How rude. I didn't weight much you know". Then she narrowed her eyes at Asuna's avatar and comment. "You look the same as in IRL though"

"Well, yeah". But the next comment cause Asuna to frown and puffed her cheeks.

"Though IRL your face is plumper"

"Now you are the one who is rude, kaa-san! I am exactly like me IRL!"

Kyoko made a serious face and turned to her daughter. "Well? You want to talk and show something to me, are you not?"

Asuna nodded her head and walked ahead while saying. "Come here". Kyoko followed her to the other room. Asuna opened up the window by raised it up. She then turned to her mother and asked. "Well? Don't you think it looks really similar?"

"Really similar to what? They are just some stupid cedar trees-" retort Kyoko disinterestedly. But her eyes suddenly widen a bit because this sight indeed really familiar to her.

"Doesn't it remind you of Grandma and Grandpa's house?" Asuna said in nostalgia while Kyoko still stay silent. "I loved my grandma and granpa's house in Miyagi". Asuna started to recall those happy memories that she spend with her grandparents. "I remember that time when the whole family went to Kyoto, but I went to Miyagi on my own. I apologized to them back then. 'I am sorry that mom can't come to visit the graves"

"I was really busy that day and there is a service that I need to attend no matter what" Kyoko explained her reason for her absence.

"I am not blaming you at all. Grandpa said that you are their treasure" Asuna said with a smile. Kyoko widened her eyes in surprise at that statement. "They are really proud of you, you know. Grandpa even said that one day you will get tired and want to rest. So they will protect the house and the mountain till you decided to return to that place"

By that time, Kyoko barely hold back her tears. Crying is so unlike her.

"I am grateful to Minato-san for creating this world. Thanks to him, I've met so many friends". As Asuna saying that Kyoko face sadden at the reminder of Minato. As I'd feeling her sadness, Asuna turned to her. "I am sure that they are looking for your forgiveness, kaa-san. You should forgive them as well. I am sure that they didn't intend to betray you like that. Because love is unpredictable. Who knows if I didn't met Kirito-kun, I may as well fall in love with Naruto"

"Didn't you think I did'nt try before, Asuna? I know, that it's not right to blame Naruto just because he looks like carbon copy of his father. But my heart refused to forgive him!" retort Kyoko by now the tears poured from her eyes like river. "Naruto lost his parents since he was young. I understood the reason why he wants for me to accept him. But because I can't let go of the past, I've become a horrible mother to him!"

Asuna hugged her mother tightly as she pour her feelings out. She rubbed her mother's back and whisper. "Maybe you should try once more. This place is special, you know"

Just as Kyoko decided to ask what she meant. Her eyes widened in shock as she saw a two figure standing far away in the blizzard. They are Kushina and Minato. They both have a solemn expression on their face. Suddenly both of them bowed their head down like they are apologizing. When they looked at her, theirs lips moved for seconds. Then as if they were mere mirage, disappeared in front of her vision. The message somehow was clear to Kyoko. 'Please forgive us. And take care for our son, Kyoko-chan'. Asuna certainly couldn't see them because her face is not facing the window when she embraced Kyoko.

'I forgive both of you, Kushina, Minato-kun. From now I promised to be a better to you, Naruto' Kyoko thought tearfully and determinedly.

Some time later

When both Asuna and Kyoko return from ALO. Kyoko decided to let her daughter study at her old school. Asuna was grateful for her decision. Suddenly they heard a ringing sound of phone call. Asuna picked up and answered.
"Hello?"

"Asuna? Go to the General Northern Hospital, quick! Naruto is in coma right now". That was the bomb that Kirito dropped at Asuna's heart.

"W-what did you say, Kirito-kun? Why is Naruto in the hospital and worse in coma?" demand Asuna with tears gathering in her eyes.

"It's really complicated. Head to the hospital and I will explain everything there". With that Kirito end the call.

Seeing her daughter gained a hollow look, Kyoko decided to asked in concern. "Is something wrong, Asuna?"

"Naruto is in the hospital and worse in a coma right now"replied Asuna with empty voice.

"What?" whispered Kyoko in horror and her eyes widened in shock.

With Shino

Shino is walking on the street and humming. But suddenly she received a call from Kirito. As she listened, her eyes widened in shock and she even drop her luggage. She just find out that her beloved is in the hospital and worse in coma

Kirito also informed the information to both Suguha and Rika. They are just as shock as Asuna and Shino. It was really unexpected and horrible news to all of them.

General Northern Hospital
Naruto's cabin

The girls has gathered in the cabin and has a hollow look in them. Kyoko was present there as well. While Naruto's girlfriends are surrounding him, Asuna decided to talk alone with Yuuki.

"So you are Yuuki?"

"Yes, I am" answered Yuuki simply. Asuna leaned in closer and narrowed her eyes in interest.

"Huh. You look a little different than your avatar"

"But you , Asuna, look the same, ne" Yuuki put her gaze to the ground and asked softly. "Do you blame me for what happened to onii-sama?"

Yuuki has explained her why she called him that, so she is knowledgeable about that now. "No. Why should I? It's Naruto's choice after all. Beside I should say that if Naruto didn't do that than he is no longer Naruto we all know and love"

Yuuki smiled slightly at her comment. "Yeah, onii-sama is amazing. I am actually surprise that he has three girlfriends IRL. I just thought that their relationships exist only in virtual world"

"Well, the three of them both loved him really much. But I can see the change as well. Since Sinon-chan moved in with Naruto, their relationship has become even closer. By saying that, it's regretfully, but Sugu-chan and Rika might not have a chance any more" Asuna turned to look at the two girls she mentioned above. "I am sure that they also noticed that their feelings to Naruto are not as strong as before". Then she turned her gaze to Shino which has a very painful look on her face. "On the contrary, Sinon-chan truly love Naruto. I can see it in her eyes. Her heart is torn to million piece right now, just looking at Naruto in such a state"

Suguha and Rika looked at Shino, how much emotions she is pouring out now. They can feel it. Her feelings is much more stronger than theirs right now. But they knew that this moment will come eventually. Naruto eventually must chose one of them to spend the rest of his life with. Rika has thought that just because they become the couple first that her feeling will be stronger to him. Sugu has thought that she has finally met her destined one. But she slowly realized with time that her feelings started to diminish. Both girls thought the same thing. It's time to let go of Naruto. It will be difficult, but that is necessary to start their new pages of life. Besides it's not like they won't be friends any more.

Naruto has Shino now. And she will take care of him from now and the rest of his life.

Night time

Everybody has already left, only Shino is seating near her comatose boyfriend right now. Yuuki understood that Shino need some time alone to stay with Naruto.

Shino caressed Naruto's cheek lovingly while saying. "Baka, why do you always like to play hero, huh? I would've thought when I return to our home, you would greet me with some stupid pranks. Then I will get angry at you and chased you around the house. I would've nagged at you for eating ramen the whole week". She laughs softly as she said that. Then she added. "I've understood one thing when I went to visit my mother, Naruto. That is I really love you and want to spend the rest of our lives together. I love you, Naruto. Very very much". With each words her tears start to pour out. "T-that's why wake up soon. Don't left me alone, please. I won't be able to bare it". With that Shino leaned in and gave Naruto the most passionate kiss they ever shared. It actually last for a minute. Shino kissed at both of his cheeks and said. "Good bye for now, my beloved. I will be waiting for you to awake. No matter how long it will take I will still wait for you"

Just that, Asada Shino walked out of the cabin. She decided to look one last time at her beloved before left completely.

But the moment she left ,three figures climb up from window. The windows are technical lets closed, but they used a glass cutter to infiltrate. They approached the unconscious figure of Naruto and looked at him.

"So this is Uzumaki Naruto?" asked the first figure.

"Blond spiky hair and according to this paper. It is indeed him" answered the second figure while holding a paper and waving with it.

"Then we will abduct him like we planned from the beginning" ordered the third figure, must be the other's two boss.

The other two nodded their heads. The third figure turned to look at Naruto once more and thought to himself. 'It's hard to believe that I still have some relatives left. And he is the son of Kushina-san as well'

That night, Naruto Yuuki Uzumaki was abduct by three unknown figures.

A/N: Next is the final and epilogue. It will be Yuuki's P.O.V and is the first one ever that I wrote as well. Sorry, but the three mysterious figures that abduct Naruto will be reveal in Shinobi World Online. Hope, you all enjoyed the chapter. Ja ne!
