Every single person went quiet when Kazuto stepped in behind Asuna. Nobody knew what to make of this young man in black. Nobody knew who he was. Coincidentally, Yuuya was the first to react. He stood up and stuck out his hand. "I'm Yuuya, Asuna and Kouichirou's 2nd cousin, 2 years her senior. My parents are the executives of a bank,"he introduced.
Asuna knew very well that Kazuto remembered his name. After Yuuki died she had told him about her most recent suitor. Kazuto, always retaining his SAO experience, maintained a poker face. Asuna could tell he had tensed up slightly when he heard Yuuya's name. He shook Yuuya's hand, answering, "I am Kazuto Kirigaya" Everyone frowned at his cryptic answer. It didn't answer their questions at all.
Kyouko pretended nothing happened and walked over to Asuna's Grandparents. "Happy Holidays, Mom and Dad,"she greeted in a robotic fashion. Shouzou followed suit. Then it was Kouichirou, and finally Asuna's turn.
Kazuto took this inopportune time to marvel how beautiful Asuna was in a kimono. Kazuto wore one as well out of respect like everyone else, and everyone else looked great too. But Asuna. Asuna was a different level.
He marveled at how she looked, as she, instead of greeting her Grandparents took a step backwards so she stood next to Kazuto. Asuna took his hand in her own soft hand and gave it a squeeze. Kazuto watched as she put on her best smile, and he followed suit. She gave a curtsy to each of her Grandparents. Then she introduced, "Grandmother and Grandfather, this is Kazuto Kirigaya, my long term boyfriend of several years."
Let me go back. Every year, family members brought boyfriends and girlfriends. They were either arranged, older, or looked richer.
The present which Kazuto brought didn't even have a recognizable designer label. Grandmother looked at Grandfather for a response. His face remained stoic. It seems Kyouko was as well, because she spoke up, "I didn't like Kazu-" But Grandfather raised his hand to silence her, and instead ordered, "Let us eat." He waved to the butler standing in the corner of the dining room like a statue. Almost immediately servants poured in from the small doorway on the side, setting up another place for Kazuto. Everyone was silent as the Yuuki family and Kazuto sat down.
After a long awkward silence, during which Asuna and Kazuto continued holding hands, a guy named Denshi, "If I remember correctly, Kirigaya is a famous kendo champion."
Kazuto nodded. "I studied the Kirigaya house of kendo for a while. But my sister inherited the talents."
"I am a kendo champion as well. I heard I am one of the few to beat her. I would be honored to duel another of that household. I am curious whether all in that household are that tough,"Denshi answered in a well mannered way. However, anyone could see the gleam of challenge in his eyes.
And I will stop there. Just got this idea while re-reading Mother's Rosario. It is late at night and I can't remember what I wanted to say. The biggest reason why I finished this on phone and rushed this a bit was that it's Chinese New Year 1/28/17 and I wanted to get a story out on Chinese New Year. So what I wanted to say was happy Lunar New Year(a.k.a Chinese New Year)
