A/N: Hello SAO fans. This is a little idea I had for the SAO universe. This fanfic is most likely not going to be too long, maybe ten chapters max. I hope you all enjoy it.
The bright skies of summer enveloped the Kirigaya house with a warm feeling. The weather had been surprisingly nice for the entire week so far and it showed no signs of changing. Kazuto sat in the kitchen with Suguha as the two of them ate lunch together. The siblings were currently taking bites out of tuna sandwiches there mother had made since she had off from work today.
"This is delicious" Sugu said as she finished another bite of her lunch. "How do you get your sandwiches to taste so good mom?"
"It's a trade secret. Maybe I'll teach you how to make them when you get a boyfriend to make food for." Midori said in a teasing manner.
Sugu mumbled something in a quiet tone so that her family couldn't hear and continued to eat her sandwich.
"You could always try dating that friend of yours. I think you said his name was Nagata, right?" Kazuto joked.
"K-Kazuto! Why would you say something like that?!" Suguha said with a frown.
"Your brother has a point though. I think you and Nagata would make an adorable couple" Midori smiled.
"Mom!"
The Kirigaya family continued to spend lunch teasing the youngest of the trio about what it would be like if she and Nagata became a couple, much to Suguha's disapproval. As the meal neared its end, Midori decided to change the target of the embarrassment. "So Kazuto, are you spending the day with Asuna?"
"Y-Yes" the raven haired boy replied nervously, wondering if she was going anywhere with this.
"Oh you two really do make the most adorable couple" his mother smiled. "Just make sure you use protection if you two sleep together."
"Wh-What?! Where did that come from?!"
"I'm just joking Kazuto dear."
Kazuto fell silent with his face a very deep shade of red from embarrassment. Sugu pitied the fact that her brother was now on the receiving end of their mother's embarrassment, but it was better him than her.
"So what do you plan on doing with Asuna today?" Midori continued.
"I-I don't know. Maybe we'll go to the park or see a movie" Kazuto shrugged.
"Well at least you're spending time with her outside rather than in that virtual world you all play. What was it called again? Elfham Online?"
"It's Alfheim Online." Suguha corrected. "And they kinda have to log in often. It's the only way Kazuto and Asuna can interact with Yui"
"Sugu!" Kazuto glared.
"That reminds me, who exactly is this Yui girl I've been hearing about?" Midori asked.
The young girl quickly covered her mouth, not wanting to say anymore. The existence of Yui was still being kept a secret from Kazuto and Asuna's parents. If they found out about her, all hell could break loose. Especially if Asuna's mother found out.
"S-She's no one mom. Just a friend." Kazuto said, trying his best to get the topic as far away from his AI daughter as possible.
"I've heard you mention that name quite a bit, but you never seem to talk about her around me" Midori said. "Who is she?"
"It's like Kazuto said. She's just a friend" Suguha said in a flustered manner.
"Suguha" Midori said, looking at her daughter dead in the eye. "Tell me the truth"
Sugu used all her strength to keep her cool and not give in. The unrelenting stare Midori was giving her however, was putting up quite a fight.
'Hold out Sugu. I'm begging you' Kazuto silently prayed.
His prayers were unanswered however as Sugu couldn't keep it up anymore and gave in. "She's Kazuto and Asuna's in-game daughter! They found her in SAO and now they're her parents! I'm really sorry Kazuto, but this is one opponent I can't win against! Now please stop the staring mom! I can't take it anymore!"
A very, very, VERY awkward silence filled the air after Suguha's outburst. Midori looked at Kazuto, not really knowing what to say, while the raven haired boy just tried to look away and avoid making eye contact at all costs. Sugu kept her head down, feeling bad for revealing the secret her brother had tried to keep for so long.
"Kazuto" Midori began, finally breaking the silence "Is this true."
"Well…"
"Kazuto"
"… Yes. It's true"
Midori took a deep breath, letting the sudden news sink in. "I need you to come with me for a second, Kazuto"
'Oh god, I am so screwed!' Kazuto thought as he followed his mother upstairs. The two of them entered his room and closed the door behind them.
"Now Kazuto" Midori started.
"L-Look mom, before you start-"
"HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME I HAVE A GRANDDAUGHTER?!" Midori exclaimed happily with a huge outburst. "This is so exciting! When can I meet her?!"
"Wait… you mean you're not mad?"
"How could I be mad?! I just found out I have a sweet little granddaughter!"
'Ok… not the reaction I was expecting' Kazuto thought.
"So?" Midori asked. "When can I meet her?"
"Y-You want to meet Yui?"
"Of course! I AM her grandmother after all"
"But she's in ALO."
"Ok then. I'll go on using your sister's device." Midori smiled. "Oh wait, I should tell Asuna's parents about this too! Then we can all meet her together."
"Asuna's parents?!" Kazuto exclaimed. "No! Mom wait!"
Midori ignored her son's plea though, as she went out of the room and headed downstairs with a look of joy on her face.
'Ok… NOW I'm screwed'
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Asuna walked downstairs having woken up not too long ago. She was spending the afternoon with Kazuto so she figured it would be best to eat something before they got together. As the chestnut haired girl walked into the dining room, she found that both of her parents were already sitting down and eating.
"Moring Asuna" her father greeted.
"Good morning" Asuna replied with a formal bow. She wasn't a big fan of always having to "act like a proper lady", as her mother put it, but she decided to put up with it whenever she was around. She had begun to accept her new life choices after all, such as being together with Kazuto and staying at the SAO Survivor's School with her friends. Acting a little formal every now and then was the least she could do to show her appreciation for her mother's understanding.
"You're spending the day with Kazuto correct?" Asuna's father asked.
Asuna replied with a nod. "Yes. We haven't figured out exactly where we'll be going yet, but I should be home by dinner"
"Ok then. Have a fun time"
Asuna was happy to have at least ONE parent that wasn't completely overbearing. Her father had taken a liking to Kazuto when he first met him, unlike her mother who was completely against it until recently. As lunch continued, the sound of the phone ringing was heard in the next room. Asuna's mother got out of her seat and exited the room to go answer it. Asuna and her father were now all alone in the dining room.
"I know you mother can be a bit strict at times, but she only does it because she cares about you and wants you to have a good future." Asuna's father said now that his wife was out of earshot.
"I know" Asuna sighed. "It's just so irritating sometimes. Why can't I just act like a normal girl like Rika, Keiko, and Shino?"
"Are all of those people friends you made playing ALO?"
"Well technically Keiko and Rika are SAO survivors like me. Shino I met because of Kazuto when he went to Gun Gale Online. But now we all play ALO together pretty often."
"It truly is amazing what the virtual world is capable of. It links so many people together. Maybe I should try it sometime."
"It looks like you might get that chance sooner than you'd expect" Asuna's mother said at the doorway of the room. She gave a hard look at her daughter. "Asuna"
"Y-Yes" Asuna replied, wondering what this could be about.
"What's this I hear about you having a child in the virtual world?"
