Well, you wanted to continue this, so sure, I guess. Here's the general outline I came up with this morning (one chapter per topic):

Gleam Eyes Fight

Heathcliff duel & Kuradeel incident

Yui

Kirigaya & Yuuki family meeting about their children getting married

Skull Reaper & Heathcliff

Wake up

Beyond that, I don't know. Not going to commit to more than that. Also no promises on update speed whatsoever.

Blue-Eyed Demon

Suguha's attention was pulled from the group of players killing lizard-men as the shimmering blue figure of a person materialized—the default login animation for the Amusphere's holographic interface. To her surprise, it was actually her mother that had logged in. Upon popular request, RECT Progress had implemented a multi-user viewing system. Each account profile on the Amusphere had an individual identification code, and it was possible to permit other people's accounts to share a streaming session with your own.

She had originally set up her stream to only allow three people—herself, her mother, and her father—but she eventually gave a couple of her friends from school and kendo permission to join as well, most notably Shinichi Nagata, or Recon, as he went by in Alfheim Online.

"Hey, Sugu," her mother greeted, walking over to stand with her daughter off to the side. "How's he doing?"

With a shrug, she said, "About normal, I guess. They found the boss for this floor earlier, but they ran away, thank God. They just seem to be working on clearing out all the monsters in the dungeon, so it should be okay."

Her mother sighed in relief. "Good to know. I had some time off for lunch, so I wanted to see what was going on in here. You've got kendo this afternoon, right?"

Suguha nodded. "Yeah."

Their conversation was cut short, though, as a scream was heard from the distance, causing all the players to instinctively snap their heads in the direction of the boss room. Kirito and Asuna immediately started sprinting towards the scream, but Klein and his guild were assailed by another group of lizard-men.

Suguha and Midori stood still, wondering what was going on, as the scenery changed before them. Her brother and Asuna quickly retraced their steps to the boss room, cursing to themselves as they ran.

"Why's the boss room open..." Midori asked in surprise.

Then, the inside of the boss room came into view as Kirito and Asuna stopped at the entrance. The massive demon, named Gleam Eyes, that Suguha had seen earlier that day stood towering over a group of men from the Aincrad Liberation Army. Half of them were kneeling on the ground, trying to get back to their feet, and all of them had terrified expressions. None of them had above thirty percent HP left, and the boss was still unharmed.

"Those morons," Suguha said in disgust. "Kirito encountered them earlier, and he gave them the location of the boss room, but there's no way he thought they would go challenge the boss themselves..."

Midori watched silently as Kirito tried to call out to the players in the room, then gasped when the players said that they couldn't teleport out. The leader of the army called another charge as Klein finally caught up to the pair. Suguha could tell that her brother and his friends were wrestling with the idea of going in to try to help them, but was grateful for their hesitation.

Come on, you know you can't take that boss on your own. You're not going to be an idiot, right big brother?

Then, as the army charged, Gleam Eyes smashed his sword into the ground, knocking them off balance. With a terrifyingly quick slash, he sent the leader flying in the direction of the exit, skidding to a stop before Kirito, Asuna, and Klein.

Suguha and Midori both ran over to the entrance out of instinct, trying to see if the man was okay, but he disappeared before they could get there. She could see it then, the effect his death had on her brother and his friends. That, coupled with the helpless cry from another man about to be killed by the boss, was enough to bring them into the fray.

Asuna was the first to run in, shouting a wild battle cry as she assaulted the boss from behind, using her most powerful skill, Quadruple Pain, to try to draw its attention away from the helpless army members. It worked, sort of. Though the attack didn't do very much damage, the creature turned its attention to the new arrival. In the split second that Asuna was frozen from her sword skill, Gleam Eyes turned and punched her clear across the room, costing her a third of her health bar.

The boss raised its sword for a finishing blow, but her brother stepped in to block the blow, shouting for her and the other players to get out of the room. His block hadn't drawn aggro, so Gleam Eyes went for another attack on the army players, but Kirito attacked its back, finally drawing its attention.

Suguha watched as her brother engaged in a quick exchange of blows with the boss. He was one of the fastest players she had seen in the game, and even he wasn't fast enough to block all of the strokes of the massive boss. Gleam Eyes swung his enormous sword faster than should have been possible, Suguha thought.

The boss scored a couple of glancing blows on Kirito, before going for a massive downward slash on the clearly much weaker swordsman. "Kazuto!" Midori called out as he stood his ground, blocking the blow with both hands on his sword. Even by blocking it, he still lost a good twenty percent of his HP just from the sheer strength of Gleam Eyes. His companions cried out for him to retreat, much to Suguha's relief. She desperately hoped he'd take their advice.

She cried his name out when she saw him just standing there, seemingly pondering something in his thoughts. Gleam Eyes went for another slash at the now distracted Kirito, but he broke out of his sudden daze just in time to stop the bosses sword from cutting his head clean off.

When the boss pulled his sword back, Kirito jumped back. Finally, Suguha sighed out, relieved he came to his sense. Just run. Please just run.

"Come on, Kazuto," her mother called out softly. "You've done what you can. Don't throw your life away."

Then, to the surprise of both of them, he shouted, "I need ten seconds, keep him off me!"

What? Maybe he just needed time to recover, or he wanted to try to make a break for the surviving members while Asuna and Klein distracted. Both could be understandable, but Suguha felt a cold tingle crawl down her spine as she saw him begin to scroll throw his menus as quickly as he could.

Asuna and Klein followed his orders without a second of hesitation, engaging the boss with complete trust in their companion. She thought it was incredible that they felt her brother was worthy of that level of trust, especially considering that they really hadn't spent all that much time with him.

Klein was unceremoniously knocked back by the boss, but Asuna managed to hit its sword out of the way. Kirito called out a switch, and the girl drifted off to the side, clearly uncertain about what was going on.

With a wild battle cry, Kirito charged in as his extra sword, Dark Repulser, materialized on his left shoulder. His hand found the hilt, and he drew the sword, striking the beast dead center in the chest, causing Gleam Eyes to scream and throw its head back.

Seeing him use two swords wasn't a surprise to her, as she had seen him practicing the skill on and off for a good year. For Midori, though, who was only able to log in during important fights, or merely watched recap videos on the internet, seeing her son dual wielding swords was a shocking experience.

"What..." she breathed out as her son used both swords to block the retaliation attempt from Gleam Eyes, knocking the bosses blade up and leaving him temporarily stunned.

Suguha understood her shock. Players were only supposed to be able to use one blade inside SAO. Even if it were programmed in to use multiple, she doubted very many people would have done it. It was no great secret that a shield ended up being more use than a second sword for the simple reason that it was nearly impossible to actually use two swords effectively at the same time. The level of skill and coordination it took was beyond most swordsmen.

"Starburst Stream."

Both swords took on the blue hue that meant the system was now in control of their movements. Most skills were several slashes long and left you immobilized for a second or so after they completed. Given that, Suguha thought that he was going to go for a combo attack with the stun he had previously inflicted on the boss, something that would leave both him and the boss disabled for the brief cooldown period. Hell, anything else was suicide.

As such, her breath caught and she felt her chest grow heavy as she realized what he was doing. He had committed himself to an all-out offense. The fight had effectively become a race to see which combatant could kill the other first. His swords moved faster than her eyes could even track as he landed blow after blow upon Gleam Eyes, rending him for massive amounts of HP with each slash. The cost for that, was that he had to take every punch and slash from Gleam Eyes head on, costing him most of his HP as well.

The exchange continued for longer than Suguha would have thought possible for a sword skill, leaving bother her and her mother waiting with their hands unconsciously clasped in a shared horror.

The skill seemed to be over as Gleam Eyes caught Elucidator in its left hand, effectively pinning Kirito in place. With one last scream, Kirito drove Dark Repulser forward, just as Gleam Eyes did, in a final bid to win the fight.

The two finished their strikes, and they stood in place for what seemed like an eternity, neither moving. Then, to everyone's utter relief, Gleam Eyes shattered into millions of polygons and the congratulatory message appeared that meant the boss was defeated.

Still, Suguha and Midori didn't release their breath, as they could see Kirito's HP bar. Actually, they couldn't, and that was the problem. From their distance, it looked completely depleted.

Asuna, Klein, Suguha, and her mother all cried out in despair as Kirito wobbled, and then fell backwards. Suguha and Midori both tried to dash to catch him, as did Asuna. Only Suguha reached him fast enough, but was left with a terrible feeling of helplessness as her brother fell through her outstretched arms and collided with the hard ground in a soft thud.

Still, despite feeling so useless, she let go of her breath, seeing that there was in fact a small bit of his HP bar remaining, and that he was alive.

It only took Asuna a minute to wake him up. She collapsed into his arms a moment later, crying in relief, and Suguha couldn't help but want to join her as she felt the tears finally cascading down her own cheeks as well. As Kirito and Klein discussed the outcome of the fight with heavy tones, she fell to her knees beside her brother and placed her hand over his own.

You idiot...you damned idiot! Don't scare me like that! was what she wanted to scream out. The only thing that stopped her was the understanding that he had only done so because he wanted to save the lives of others. Could she really be angry with him for doing what she knew was the right thing?

A comforting hand came to rest on her shoulder from her mother. Suguha thought she heard her mother wipe her face with her sleeve, but then she said, "It's okay, honey. He won." Despite the situation, she chuckled. "It seems he always wins."

Suguha wiped her own tears, though they didn't stop entirely. "Yeah...but it seems to be closer every time. I don't think it gets closer than this..."

Her mother sat beside her and Kirito, gesturing at Asuna, who was currently talking to him about forming a party. "With any luck, his new girlfriend will make him be a little more careful." She shook her head. "Anyway, I'm sure they're done with danger for at least today, so cheer up, Sugu. Your brother was a hero today! Let's be proud of him, not angry."

I am proud, she thought, clutching a hand over her chest. I'm so proud...but I want him to come back to me. I don't want the only thing I have left of him to be the videos of his heroics, as impressive and heart-warming as they are. I just want my brother back...

With a long sigh, she stood up, steeling herself for the inevitable flurry of questions she'd be receiving from her friends at school and in Alfheim. It had already been a long day, and it was only the early afternoon.
