Kazuto shifted nervously in his seat at school waiting for the final bell to ring. He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket with the name of the hospital Yuuki was staying at. "I hope she is alright with me coming to see her" he thought as the bell rang.

"Kirito" someone shouted his name as he made his way to the exit. He sighed and turned around and said "What do you want Asuna". She pouted at him and said "Gee Kirito I was just going to ask if you want to join us doing some quests on ALO".

"No I'm busy I will join you later" Kazuto said as he started to walk again. "Going to see Yuuki are you" Asuna shouted back at him. He smirked and said "None of your business".

"She does my head in sometimes" Kazuto said to no-one as he walked down the street to the hospital. "It's around here somewhere" he thought to himself as he stopped and looked to his right and noticed a big building with the hospitals name on.

He mentally face palmed and said "Gee I don't think I could miss it". He walked into the hospital but he didn't realize a certain chestnut brown haired girl was following him.

Kazuto walked up to the front desk and said "I'm here to see Konno Yuuki please". The girl looked up and said "Name please". "Kirigaya Kazuto". "Oh your Kazuto the Doctor is over there waiting for you" the girl replied with a smile. "Thank god I got Kikuoka to ring them to say I was coming to visit her" he thought as he made his way over.

"You must be Kazuto I'm Doctor Kurahashi please to meet you" the doctor had said once Kazuto was next to him. Kazuto smiled at him and said "Pleasure to meet you". He followed the doctor into the room. "So you already know what's wrong with Yuuki then" Doctor Kurahashi.

Kazuto nodded his head as he stared at Yuuki's body hooked up to many machines. "Shit" he cursed under his breath. "Hey why the long face didn't you come here to cheer me up not the other way around" a voice said. Kazuto's eyes widened at the voice and said "Yuuki is that you".

The doctor smiled and said "Yeah she can communicate through the Medicuboid". Kazuto smiled and rested his head against the window.

A Few Hours Later:

After talking with Yuuki and Doctor Kurahashi for a few hours, Kazuto phone buzzed. He looked at it and noticed Klein had texted him wondering if he was coming on ALO to do some quests. "Hey Kazuto what's up" Yuuki said. "Klein wants to know if I want to join him on ALO". "Yeah let's go I want to join you as well".

They left the room and Kazuto stopped and said "Hey doc how much is it for the operation". The doctor turned around with a shocked expression and said "Are you going to pay for it". Kazuto nodded his head and said "Yeah I'm paying". The doctor nodded his head slowly taking in the information Kazuto said and he said "It will cost 10 000 yen". (AN: I don't know how much it will cost but I made it a reasonable price for Kazuto to pay and afford).

"Give me about 2 weeks and you will have the money" Kazuto said while shaking the doctor's hand. "Are you sure you can afford it" the doctor said as they started to walk. "I was the one to beat Sword Art Online and I told them what happened and for beating it they gave me a lot of money, so yeah I want to use it for Yuuki's operation" Kazuto said while running a hand through his hair. "Well I look forward to see Yuuki up and about then, See you later Kazuto" the doctor said with a smile. "Yeah see you later Doc".

ALO

Kirito logged and head towards the bed room door only to get tackled when he opened it. He looked down to see Yuuki hugging him. Kirito's eyes widened and said "You heard what I said to the doctor and how much it will cost didn't you". Yuuki nodded her head into his chest and said "Yeah I heard everything you don't have to pay for it".

Kirito sighed and said "Stop saying that I am paying for it and there's nothing you can do to talk me out of it". He put a finger under her chin and lifted her head up and wiped away the tears they were forming and smiled at her. Yuuki smiled back at him with blush on her face and said "Come on Klein's waiting for us".

With Klein

"Hey sorry were late just getting things sorted out" Kirito said once he and Yuuki had landed. Klein smiled and said "No problem buddy and I see you bought Yuuki Hey". Yuuki smiled and said "Hey are we all ready". Klein nodded his head and said "Yeah just waiting for Asuna". "What is she doing here" someone shouted from behind them. They turned around to see Asuna glaring at Yuuki.

Kirito sighed and said "What does it look like Yuuki is joining us on this quest. "I thought it was just going to be you and me and our friends" Asuna stressed the word friends out. A low growl escaped Kirito throat as he said "Yuuki is our friend too".

"You love her don't you" Asuna shouted at Kirito. Yuuki's eyes widened and looked at Kirito to see his poker face had broken a bit.

"You've spent more time with her and her friends than you have with me, do you feel like you have to because she's dying". Everyone gasped at what she said. "Hey isn't that been a bitch Asuna" Klein shouted from where he was stood next to Kirito. Kirito's eyes darkened as he walked forward and said "How do you know she is, apart from me and her guild no-one else knows".

Asuna eyes darted around and nervously said "Well since you've been spending a lot of your free time with her and not with me I followed you to the hospital and I put two and two together". Kirito in a fit of rage drew his sword and placed it at her neck and shouted "So you stalked me then".

An attack came from Kirito's left and caught his arm as he dodged it and he fell down onto one knee clutching it. Kirito looked up through his bangs to see another attack coming but a purple blur parried it.

"What do you think you are doing Lisbeth" Yuuki shouted from in front of Kirito.

"What does he think he's doing attacking Asuna like that" Lisbeth shouted back.

Kirito stood back up and sheathed his sword and ran his hand through his hair and began to speak before he got a chance, he felt something on his chest. He withdrew his hand from his hair to notice Yuuki had her back resting on his chest but still had her sword ready.

"I think he has every right to attack her since she's stalking him" Yuuki shouted in his defence. "What would you do if he was stalking you, scratch that you would probably like that wouldn't you" Yuuki shouted at Lisbeth and Asuna.

Both Asuna and Lisbeth blushed at what she said and Kirito took the time to speak. "You're both jealous aren't you"? Yuuki tilted her head back to get a better look at Kirito's face. "You're both jealous at the face that instead of me fallen in love with one of you two I fell for someone else someone who is a complete stranger to you two".

Kirito looks at Yuuki and continues talking. "She knows about my past, and she doesn't care". She doesn't see me as a knight in shining armour and she isn't trying to change me into something I'm not" Kirito finished smiling at Yuuki. He kissed her forehead and glared at Asuna and Lisbeth as he walked towards Klein and said "Give me an hour or two and we will do that quest, I just need some time to clear my head". Klein patted him on the back and said "Sure man no problem message me when you are ready".

"Dam it, Dam it, Dam it". Kirito said as he punched a tree over and over again. "She wasn't supposed to find out that I love her" he thought as he turned around and went to walk away only to stop when he saw Yuuki looking at him. She walked up to him and stopped in front of him. Kirito opened his mouth to say something but Yuuki stopped him by kissing him.

Kazuto began to kiss her back and nipped her lower lip and she groaned into his mouth. Yuuki broke the kiss he face a blaze and buried her head into the crook of Kirito's neck. "Hey you ok" he mumbled into her hair. Yuuki nodded her head and said "I'm fine but you deserve someone better to love".

"No I don't I love you and that's all that matters to me, now come on Klein's waiting for us". Kirito said while taking Yuuki's hand. They got so far and Yuuki stopped and said "Hey Kirito I-I-I Lo…" Kirito stopped her by putting a finger on her lips and said "Don't force yourself to say it, say it when you're ready ok". Yuuki smiled and nodded her head.

One week later:

Kazuto visited the hospital to talk to Yuuki and Doctor Kurahashi every day after school and played ALO with Yuuki and his friends on the night. His grades started to go down a bit but he wasn't to bothered he just wanted to spend time with Yuuki.

Kazuto walked into the room and said "Hey Doc I'm here and I also have the money. A few seconds later no reply came so he said "Hey Doc you here". Kazuto opened the door to the other room and noticed he was on the bed with the Amusphere on his head. He smiled and thought "He must be online talking to Yuuki".

"Kazuto are you here" he heard Yuuki shout from the other room. "Hey Yuuki yeah I'm here what's wrong" he said while closing the door. "It's about Doctor Kurahashi" she quickly said. "What's wrong" he said while standing in the middle of the room. "He's been kidnapped".

"What who by was it Laughing Coffin are they back" he shouted at her. "No worse Asuna as kidnapped him" she squeaked out nearly crying. Kazuto eyes widened and a low growl escaped his lips.

"ASUNA".
