Want you back

The sudden arrivals.

At Rath.

A few hours later after Asuna logged in.

Kikuoka's p.o.v.

"How are Kirito and Asuna doing?" I asked Higa.

"They are doing fine, Kiku-san." He replied.

Though their fluctlight did show many signs of rapid movement." He said while turning toward me.

"What does that mean?" I asked him.

"This means that they were in a fight or flight situation." He said while looking at the screen and then back at me.

"I hope that Asuna-san managed to save him."

"She hasn't logged out means she hasn't died. Which means that she managed to save Kirito-Kun." I said to Higa.

"Yeah but her fluctlight showed so much movement, even more than Kirito-Kun's fluctlight." He said back.

"I figured that much," I said while leaning on the table near Higa and crossed my hand in front of my chest.

"What do you mean, Kiku-san?"

"I mean, she went there, to that woman who managed to defeat Kirito. I doubt it was easy."

"And, I guess she used her power to alter the land, and she went overboard with it too," Higa said.

"That the 'Lightening flash of the Knights of the Blood Oaths' for you." I looked toward the screen, showing their fluctlights while smiling.

"She and Kirito-Kun are the same." I closed my eyes.

"Speaking of Kirito-Kun." I looked at Higa.

"How is he doing? You know, in real life. Is his brain regenerating fine?" I asked.

'Poor boy has to go through so much.' I thought.

"Everything's going fine. He is doing pretty well. If this kept going, he will recover soon." Higa smiled at me.

"Good." I looked at the big screen, showing an image of the Underworld, of my dream.

"Let's just hope they both come back safe." I smiled while standing straight and letting my arms fall to my side. Just when I was about to leave, I heard a voice of a woman. I and Higa turned to look at the door and saw Rinko-san running toward us. She was holding Asuna-sans phone in her hand. We both looked at her confused.

"What happened Rinko-san," I asked her.

"Look at this." She lifted Asuna-san's phone. Suddenly her phone turned on and an AI appeared on her phone's screen.

"Hello." I recognized her.

"Hello. Yui-chan." I smiled at the little girl.

"Wait! You know her?" Rinko-san and Higa-Kun looked at me confused.

"Yeah, she is Kirito-Kun's and Asuna-san's daughter.

"Daughter?" But, she is an AI." Higa-Kun asked, totally confused.

"Eventually, they found her in SAO and took her in," I explained.

"That's right," Yui-chan said with her as always excited voice.

"So, Yui-chan. What brings you here?" I asked the little pixie.

"Well, I found out that mommy is diving into the underworld to find daddy." She said and we nodded our head.

"I wanted to tell you that I found a way to dive into the underworld too." As soon as she said my eyes widened.

"Really?"
