A/N: I KNOW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT CRIED ON THE LATEST EPISODE RIGHT? RIGHT!? MY PILLOW WAS DAMP FOR ALMOST AN HOUR AFTER WATCHING. IT WAS PERFECT! JUST PERFECT AND I'M STILL TEARING UP. *faceplants into pillow again*


Asuna and Yui had gone back to their home in Yggdrasil since Kirito had left, Yui saying that they could play again when their whole family was together. When they got there, Yui had changed back into her one piece white dress, Asuna changing into her light yellow sweater and brown skirt. Yui was yawning when Asuna had finished changing, making her smile as she walked over to her and picked her up. Yui put her head on her mother's shoulder as she carried her to the bedroom, laying Yui down on the bed and sitting next to her.

"Mama, I had a lot of fun today!" Yui said as she smiled, Asuna covering her up with a blanket as the snow began to fall harder outside.

"I did too. And I'm sure that your Papa had fun as well." Asuna said as she ran her hand over Yui's hair, making her smile more as the motion comforted her.

"Mama… Do you think that you could stay with me until I fall asleep?" Yui asked her, a drowsy look in her eyes as she did. Asuna smiled and nodded, lifting up the blanket and slipping in right next to her daughter. As she hugged Yui's small form to her, she remembered how she had done the same the first time Yui had entered this house in old Aincrad. She couldn't help but smile.

'The difference between now and that time is that I now have light blue hair instead of my normal color.' she thought as Yui snuggled up to her. Yui's breathing began to lessen slowly and her eyes fluttered slightly before closing. Asuna covered her more with the blanket, making sure that the air wouldn't come under the warmth of the blanket. Yui moved a bit and parted her mouth.

"Mama… Love you…" she said, Asuna smiling as a few tears clung to corner of her eyes from her daughter's words.

"I love you too Yui-chan... With all my heart!" she whispered to her daughter, kissing her forehead as she patted her hair. She sat there for a few minutes and wished she could just stay there with Yui but knew that she couldn't sleep in the game today since she had to get up early to go somewhere with her parents. She remembered something that Kirito had been doing a while ago and took out a recording crystal of her own, wanting to remember this moment and share it with her in-game husband when they met.

"Goodnight Yui-chan." Asuna said before opening her menu and logging out.


Asuna opened her eyes to the white ceiling of her room and sat up, the cold of the room hitting her as she shivered slightly.

'I need to remember to turn on the heat before diving.' she thought before she turned it on by the small console next to her bed. She sighed as she felt the heat flood her room and heard the beeping of her cell phone. Asuna walked over to it and checked who the message was from. She saw that the contact name said 'Kirigaya Kazuto' and smiled, opening the message.

'Asuna, I was only wondering if you wanted to come over tomorrow. My mom isn't going to be home to embarrass you.' She read.

'Spending the day at Kirito-kun's house...' she thought with a smile. She had always loved the atmosphere that his house gave off that was so unlike her own home that she started to type her response.

'That sounds good! I'll be there before noon since I have to go somewhere with my parents.' she wrote, sending after making sure that she had written it correctly with her phone ringing a few seconds later.

'Okay! Just make sure you message a few minutes before you get here to you don't have to wait in the cold.' it read. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and smile at how overprotective he could be without even noticing it.

'I'll make sure. I should go to sleep then. Goodnight Kirito-kun!' She messaged, receiving a goodnight in return seconds later. Asuna walked up to her dresser and quickly changed into some pajamas, going back to bed with a smile.

'I get to spend the day at Kirito-kun's house.'


Kazuto put his phone down on his desk, smiling to himself as since he was going to have Asuna over tomorrow. He heard a knock on his door and got up to open it, hoping it wasn't Sugu with her shinai again. He saw his mother in the hallway when he opened the door.

"Did you manage to apologize to Suguha?" Midori asked him.

"Shouldn't you be the one to…?" he asked since she was the one that wanted to tease Sugu.

"You left first, you apologize first."

"Do you want her to kill me?"

"It's not like she has her shinai in her room right now!"

"But she's Sugu! She might have learned how to kill me with a stuffed animal…"

"... Go apologize."

"Yes ma'am." he said reluctantly. Midori smiled since she won and walked back downstairs. Kazuto sighed slightly and walked over to Sugu's room. He knocked a twice on the door but didn't hear anything.

'Is she still in ALO?' he wondered. He opened the door and looked in, another sigh coming from him. Sugu was on her bed, lying on her stomach with her phone next to her head in her hand. Kazuto entered the room and walked over to her, throwing the blanket on her gently to cover her up. He put a pillow under her head as best as he could and took her phone away from her hand. Kazuto saw it flash slightly and, his curiosity piqued, checked what she was doing.

'My little sister grew up huh…' he thought with a smile as he placed her phone on her nightstand. The phone screen shut off after showing the conversation with Nagata-kun. Kazuto turned off the lights and went back to his room for some sleep.


A/N: Sorry if this sucks but I wrote this while writing a paper and making a PowerPoint. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT I'M NOT A GOOD MULTITASKER OVER HERE. *goes to corner and procrastinates*
