Sorry about the wait guys I have literally been so busy that I couldn't even read, let alone write some fan fiction so I'm sorry but here it is and I made it a little longer to make up for it please read and review if you like spread the word:)

Asuna lay on her bed pondering the events of the evening with her boyfriend. She had enjoyed the whole date and Kazuto was the perfect gentleman through out the whole night. He had paid for the movie and the dinner. She couldn't help the smile that graced her lips every time she thought about it and apparently Kazuto was going to work hard on some outside project of which he wouldn't reveal to Asuna, saying that "I want it to surprise you." This to made Asuna smile. He had walked her home and kissed her goodnight and before he left they had shared a loving hug. Who would have guessed the hugs are sometimes better than kisses, when he hugged Asuna it made her feel so safe and warm.

2 months later

Kazuto and Asuna had been on several dates and every friday after school Kazuto would go over to Asuna's house and go over the weeks work with Asuna, this way they could enjoy spending time with each other and they would work on helping one another out on their weak subjects.

Kazuto had been working hectic ally and using most of his time either at school, doing homework with Asuna or working on his 'secret project' which would be finished very soon.

The following friday Kazuto made his way to Asuna's house to go and share his report for the First Term at school. They had decided that they would open them together and find out where the other was lacking which in turn would determine their work for the Second Term.

He knocked softly on the white, oak door and awaited Asuna. He caught a glimpse Mr. Yuuki leaving for work as he usually does and greeted him with a polite wave. He received a polite smile from her father as the car pulled away, soon after Asuna answered the door.

"Sorry I was in the shower." Kazuto realised this fact when he noticed only a towel around his beloved. He promptly closed his eyes.

"Sorry!" He blurted out earning a smile from Asuna, one which he could not see of course.

"Its alright, just come in. Besides you're right on time, anyway my clothes are in the bathroom so I'll change there you can go up to my room." Said Asuna

"O-okay." Stammered Kazuto and he made his way to her room.

It didn't take long for Asuna to get dressed and she soon entered her room wearing a black skirt and a white tank top, her hair was still damp and flowed gently down her back. This in turn caused an unsuspecting Kazuto to blush furiously. Asuna couldn't help but smile at his exasperated expression.

"So are you just going to sit there or can I have a hug." Teased Asuna.

Kazuto got the hint and walked towards her, wrapping his arms around her waist and picking her up slightly as he hugged her. Kazuto in recent months had grown a few inches and had picked up just a little bit of muscle tone.

They sat down in their usual spots, Kazuto on her bed, Asuna at the desk and opened their reports. Asuna was also exited because she had made Kazuto promise that if she did well enough he would tell her what he had been working on.

Asuna looked at her report:

Mostly 80's and a few 90's

Kazuto looked at his report:

Mostly 70's and 80's with a 90 or two here and there.

"I win so now you HAVE to tell me." Kazuto cringed at having lost.

"Alright but you have to promise not to freak out." Answered Kazuto as he shifted awkwardly on the bed.

"Fine I promise." Asuna sensed that teasing wouldn't be the smartest move to pull right now.

"I'm making a new online game." Kazuto said albeit rather bluntly

"REALLY? Why would I be mad that's amazing." She had got up and was now standing in front of him.

"Well you did get trapped twice and I didn't know how you would react or think ..." Mumbled Kazuto

"I see, well at least you thought of me but really I'm okay with it because you will be the game master right so it will be safe." Asuna's words soothed Kazuto's conscience.

"Thank you oh and its called Nyūryoku suru Hantā or NSH meaning Enter Hunter." Elaborated Kazuto

"So I'm guessing you are a hunter?" Questioned Asuna

"Well eccentially yes but it has many skills adopted from SAO and magic from ALO, you can't fight other players but you can form a party of 2-3 hunters to aid you and don't have to hunt or fight to earn XP doing things like crafting gives you XP so fighting isn't the only way to do well." Finished Kazuto.

"That sounds amazing so when's the release?" Asuna remembered the thrills of being in a game.

"Tomorrow, the game is uploaded but I need to put in my password to allow players to begin." Answered Kazuto.

"So tell me some more details..." Pressed Asuna who had moved and was now seated next to Kazuto on her bed.

"How about I tell you over dinner tonight? My treat." Offered Kazuto now holding Asuna's delicate yet strong hands.

"I'd love to but I have to go to this stupid ball/dance type thing, you know because of the nobility of my family." Asuna admitted, her face stricken with guilt.

"It's alright Asuna, I know its not your fault." Kazuto felt it his place to comfort her.

"I just wish you could be there, everyone else has a date and I'm not going with anyone other than my Kazuto-kun." Kazuto shivered with pleasure at the suffix.

"Well I hope this fits you." Mrs. Yuuki proclaimed as she entered her daughters room.

"Mom! When did you get home?" A distressed Asuna asked. Asuna's mom made her way into the room carrying a black suit.

"And why do you have that suit." Now Asuna was confused beyond belief.

"Because I didn't think your boyfriend would have one so I got one for him." Explained Mrs. Yuuki.

"That's thoughtful Mrs. Yuuki but I do know why I've never been invited before, I'm not nobility and I'm adopted I can't accept this because I know it would mess up your family name." Declined Kazuto

"Kazuto..." Asuna seemed to be on the verge of tears.

"Nonsense besides you're already virtually married so I don't see the problem." Joked Mrs. Yuuki

Asuna blushed "In any case tonight you are required to bring a date so ..." Kazuto didn't know how to react to such a situation, luckily Mrs. Yuuki put the suit down and smiled at him before leaving.

"I'm sorry Asuna, I didn't mean to do anything-" he was cut off by Asuna.

"Relax Kazuto I knew that this would happen eventually, now at least I won't be bored." Comforted his girlfriend.

"Well first things first I need to get home and get ready so I'll see you at 8?" Kazuto questioned.

"Sure." They shared a short hug before Kazuto left to get ready. Asuna decided to do the same.

A few hours later Kazuto knocked on the oak door that he had so gotten used to, the door to the Yuuki house. It was answered by Mr. Yuuki who let Kazuto in.

"Is she still getting ready or can I see her?" Kazuto questioned the head of the house.

"I think she's ready but I think it would be best to knock." Advised Mr. Yuuki

"Thank you." He nodded his head subtly before going upstairs. He made his way to her door and softly tapped the door.

"Asuna is it alright to come in?" He turned his ear towards the door and awaited a reply.

"Yeah I'm just doing my make-up." Called Asuna who was seated at her desk looking into the mirror. Asuna looked over at her boyfriend and almost dropped her lipstick at the sight before her. Kazuto had combed his hair neatly and was wearing the black suit that fitted him perfectly along with black tie and shoes. On the other hand Kazuto had a tough time trying not to faint at the angel before him, she had applied just enough makeup to be visible and was wearing a white, one shouldered dress that clung loosely to her body showing off her figure in an elegant manner.

"Wow Asuna you look s-so beautiful." Stammered Kazuto forcing himself to stay concious.

"Well now I never thought I'd have to say this but Kazuto, you clean up nicely." Complimented Asuna.

They both blushed before Kazuto held out his hand indicating that they should leave. Asuna accepted it and they walked down to the front where Asuna's parents were waiting.

They left in the sleek black car and made their way to the party.

When they arrived they split up with the parents leaving towards the people and Asuna dragging Kazuto to the food table.

"You need to try this stuff, apparently its the best food ever." Ordered Asuna as they arrived at the large table covered in food.

"Why don't you try it?" Kazuto was still trying to make sure nothing would happen to embarrass the Yuuki family, that's the last thing that he would want.

"Because these people seem to think that its rude for a lady to eat, odd I know." Added an obviously annoyed Asuna.

"Well there are plates and I could just take some outside for you to eat?" Offered Kazuto

"Only you would offer that Kazuto but I'm alright I don't need to eat right now but take some and let's go outside, this place is way to busy." Said Asuna and they gathered a plate with all sorts of food on it and went outside. They made their way outside and found a nice wooden bench in the well kept and stunningly beautiful garden, took a seat and began to chat about several topics from school to the new game, Kazuto wouldn't say much about it claiming that it was to be a surprise, they also spoke about how Kazuto was doing in martial arts (he had been forced into starting by the government saying that due to the fact that it was he who defeated SAO many 'haters' who actually ENJOYED the whole experience would come after him.)

"So how is the whole martial arts thing going." Asuna started the conversation.

"Well at first it was difficult and tiresome but lately I've been enjoying it and-" Kazuto began but was cut off by the giggles from a group of passing girls who approached them with smug looks on their spoiled little faces.

One of the girls, wearing a dainty little skirt that was too short for Asuna's liking, approached them.

"So were you paid or did Asuna force you to be her date?" The girl had a winey and annoying voice.

"What are you on about?" Kazuto looked over at Asuna who had a scornful look on her face.

"Well isn't it obvious, Asuna has never brought a boy before why would she bring one now plus what respectable boy would willingly go out with a girl who plays those awful video games." Taunted the girl.

"Now listen here you stuck up little bitch." Asuna tried to get up but was held down by Kazuto's hand on her shoulder, she looked over to him as he gave her a look saying 'don't do this

Asuna felt her anger leave her at his reassuring touch and relaxed more into her seat.

"Well I would." Said Kazuto.

"But your family isn't even noble, what girl would even want to see you let alone date you." There was a short period of silence before Asuna got up and slapped the girl through the face, HARD.

"If you ever speak badly of Kazuto again I'll actually put effort into the hit." Threatened Asuna staring dead straight into the eyes of the rude woman.

"Asuna, relax she is right I am not a noble, all the more proof that we aren't some fake couple." Soothed Kazuto to calm his date down.

"Well what are you waiting for you can leave now." Motivated Kazuto, the group slowly made their way across the garden and into the ball.

"Thank you Kazuto." Asuna put her hand on top his and they sat there in a comfortable silence.

"Wasn't your game supposed to release tonight." Asuna realised that his going to this ball had postponed his game release.

"Yes and it still will after this is all done I can release the game it is ready all I need to do is put in the password and press enter.

"Alright." answered Asuna and they headed inside.

"Would you like to dance?" Kazuto had one arm extended and one behind his back, he was being old-fashioned.

"You can dance?" Asuna was taken back by his offer.

"Well I'm no expert but I do know a thing or to."

"Alright let's dance." She took his hand and they began to relax into the rythem of the music, a slow song had started and Asuna who was cautious at first had now also relaxed when she found out that Kazuto really did know how to dance... Well at that.

She now had her head rested on his shoulder when he whispered to her.

"Asuna, I really do love you."

"I love you to Kazuto." She lifted her head and lightly kissed him on the cheek and returned her head to his shoulder where it would stay for the rest of the dance.

After leaving the ball they made their way back to the Yuuki house where Mr. Yuuki had invited Kazuto to stay over saying that he trusted him enough to allow him to stay in the same room as his daughter. Kazuto, after much convincing had agreed to stay over but had insisted that they stay in a different room.

He had gone back to his house to fetch all of his stuff including his computer.

Kazuto arrived at the Yuuki house and was setting up his system in the room he would be staying in while Asuna sat on the bed watching.

She decided to bring up the topic that had been plaguing her mind for a while now.

"You had the chance to sleep in the same room as me, why didn't you I could see you wanted to." Asuna shifted on the bed.

"You know me to well for your own good you know that? And I said no because I know he said he did but your dad didn't really want me to stay there he was doing what he thought you wanted and I don't want him being uncomfortable." Stated Kazuto casually.

"Oh so what are you doing now?" She made her way to the computer system and leaned over the chair to take a look at the computer screen.

"Just running all the scripts and checking for any bugs before the release." He looked over at Asuna and gave her a smile.

"But after I release it, it should be about 30 minutes before everyone can join so I can give you the code and we could have a bit of a head start if you want?" Offered Kazuto.

"Really? But you are the game master, you don't need a head start." Asuna already knew what he was going to say in response.

"I'm also a gamer and there is no point just watching over an RPG it would be boring." He held her hand as an upload box came up asking for Master Player I.D and password.

Player I.D : Kirito

Password : **********

Security Question : What is my reason for living?

Answer : *****

He pressed upload and looked over at Asuna as the loading process began.

"It will only take about 5 minutes to load you wanna bring your stuff here or play from your room.

"I think I'll play from my room, it will take forever to load in here." With that she gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked to the door, just before she left she said softly.

"See you soon, Kirito-kun." Using his player name with a hint of a seductive tone.

Kazuto waited to see the load complete box come up before putting on his head gear.

Asuna + Kazuto " Link Start!"

Hope you like it.
