A/N: Hello dear readers, thanks for visiting this story. I just recently got into Sword Art Online. Still watching season 2 so I wanted to apologize in advance for any out of character behavior and such. This is my first try so please don't judge too harshly. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy it.

Kazuto sat on the edge of his bed, his arms wrapped around his stomach. He moaned painfully, carefully reaching over to the bucket his mother had offered him earlier that day, vomiting almost instantly, the pain increased.

"Kazuto?" Midori called through the door. She pushed it open and moved inside.

"M-Mom, y-you didn't-" Midori sat down beside him.

"It's not like I haven't seen anyone be sick before, I'm a mom we see this a lot." She brushed back a few strands of hair from his face, taking note of the fever. When the vomiting had ceased, Midori pulled her son close to her.

"Does your stomach feel better now, sometimes getting sick helps."

"N-Not really." He panted.

"I'm going to get the thermometer, try to rest." She kissed his head and stood up, taking the bag containing the mess with her. Kazuto forced himself to lie back down, curling up on his side.

"Kazuto, are you okay?" The dark haired girl asked in concern from the doorway.

"Y-yeah." He replied, he did his best to maintain his usual tone.

"Are you sure, you haven't been feeling well since yesterday." She made her way over to his bed.

"Just a stomach bug or something. no big deal." Suguha sighed.

"I'm just worried that maybe you're- you wouldn't tell me if it was something more would you?"

"If I thought something was really wrong, I'd tell you. It's just a stomachache."

"It seems a little..intense."

"It's fine. You should get some sleep, tomorrow's school and then you wanted to-ow!" Kazuto squeezed his eyes shut. Before his sister could react,their mother appeared,carrying the thermometer. She removed it from the case.

"Keep it under your tongue." She instructed. "Sugu, go back to bed,you both need your rest."

" Mom,He-"

"I've got it from here." The teen hesitated but did as she was told . She flopped down in her own bed, staring at the ceiling.

"He must think I'm an idiot or something." She complained into the emptiness of her room, she sighed heavily. She hated it when her brother kept things from her. She soon fell asleep.

The sound of her ring tone woke her suddenly, she groaned sleepily,reaching over to her nightstand and looking at the display, feeling slightly confused,she answered.

"Kazuto,What's -"

" I-I'm sorry. " she sat up instantly. His voice was weak and the pain was audible.

"What's wrong?" She felt herself begin to panic as she stood up.

"I wouldn't have -You were the last one I called and-Sugu, it's getting worse and I need you to get mom or-" He gasped.

"Okay, just take it easy,I'm going now." She rushed to her parents 'room knocking loudly. Her heart sank into her stomach as she continued listening to her brother.

"I w-would've-"

"It's okay, I'm glad you called me." She soothed.

It took only seconds for her mother to step out.

"Su-"

"Mom, it's Kazuto. He needs you right now." She handed the phone to her mother.

Kazuto cried out in pain.

"I'll be there soon." She promised, turning to her daughter. "I want you to go get the other phone and call for an ambulance." She instructed, racing toward her son's room. When she arrived she pushed open the door to find him lying on the floor, his body trembling from the pain,

"Kazuto!" She knelt beside him. "What happened?" She brushed back a few strands of hair from his pale, sweaty face.

"I-I feel so weak and it hurts so much. I tried to get up and it hurt to move, I couldn't-"

"Shh, it's going to be okay, we'll get you to the hospital and they'll make you feel better. Try to stay calm and let me take care of everything." She drew in a deep breath to calm herself, knowing that he would need her to be able to comfort him.

"M-mom?"

"Hm?"

"I'm sorry. "

"Everything is fine. I'll go with you . Try to relax, maybe it will help." She continued to stroke his hair until the ambulance arrived and he was placed on the bed.

Sugu grabbed her brother's phone and charger, following her mother outside.

"Mom-"

"I'll call you when we know something, your father can drop you off in a little while." She kissed her daughter's head and climbed into the vehicle. Sugu watched as it sped away.

"Please Brother, be okay." She whispered. She hurried inside to get ready, packing a few of his things to take with them. All the while fearing the possible results.
