Sword art online: The Forgotten Hero - [Asuna X Male reader]

The flashbacks

Hello loyal readers, those who followed our story all the way to here. I must say, that SAO arc took me way more chapters than I imagined, but we are slowly coming to it's end. I must thank you for all of your support, expecially thank you all who often leave a comment on any chapter, give me your opinions and decribe your feelings. That is what keeps me from quiting...and in the end, didn't I say at the very beginning that we are going to get this story to the Ordinal scale and further? I cannot promise to often update since my chapters have become more complex than my first ones, but I will write. Because my whole meaning here is to give you guys the best story I van possibly write. Also, please, in the end of this chapter I will declare a vote, where I will be asking you guys if I should fuse SAO characters with other anime to put our characters into different situations...that will allow me to write parallel story with different plot so I will have time off from this one. But without further trash talk, lets finally begin with this chapter.

*Kirito's POV*

I slowly opened the door that led to her room. And there she was, lying on the bed, turned away from me. She wasn't asleep, I knew that. I could hear silent sobbing. She was crying. Because of him. That made me a bit angry, but I understood her. She lost her very best friend. She said that day, when Klien and the others brought her back home, that she would be dead a long ago if there wasn't for him. He really meant a lot to her. I didn't know what was their relationship or what were they doing before I met with her again under that tree. I only knew that I have to give her space. And time. But she couldn't be like this forever. I felt Yui gently hugging me from behind as she peeked into the room.

>Daddy, what is wrong with Mommy? < she asked with her childish voice.

>Mommy needs some time for herself Yui. Come on, lets go and play outside. <

With that, we left. Asuna did barely say a word to me since she was back. I felt terribly for not being able to help her back then. I couldn't imagine what she has gone through. I didn't want to. I tried to forget about everything. But I couldn't. Y/N was also really important to me. We were rivals, but somehow, I felt a connection with him. Sort of. He wasn't a bad guy and didn't deserve to die like this. I got lost in my mind as I heard a sound of door opening behind me. It was Asuna.

*Asuna's POV*

I knew Kirito was in room. But he couldn't see me. Not like this. Not that broken. But I just couldn't help it. Tears just kept on coming. When he left, I slowly sat on the bed. Then it struck me again. The memory from three days ago...

I was watching Y/N as he carried me to the hall that led out of this Dungeon. He was about to go and literaly kill himself so I could live. But I tried to convince him not to go. But I was to weak. Everything that happened after that left scars on my soul that will probaly never be healed again. He said that he...he loved me. From the very beginning. My heart just couldn't take it. I tried to reach him, but someone grabbed me. It was Klien. He was shouting at Y/N while holding me back. I tried to resist him but then all the others came and managed to hold me back. Y/N streched his arms like wings and flames did form into wings. The picture became less and less visible before it vanished. I screamed, but then flames took me, Klien and everyone died...

I opened my eyes. I literaly just fell asleep while sitting and thinking. But I couldn't sleep at night. I was afraid of this memory that haunted me in my dreams. Infinite flames everywhere and Y/N in the center of all that chaos. I slowly got up and left my room. I soon find Kirito and Yui. Second runs to me and jumps into my hug.

>There you are my little angel.<

>You are awake Mommy. I was afraid something happened to you.<
