Hey, It's me, Scarlett again! Kirito's being a buttface, so this chapter is also going to include him being a buttface. :P

After writing: Okay, so Kirito forgot to tell me what his character's wearing. I made his character wear a purple scarf and baby blue jacket, which I *sigh* have to change, since he really doesn't like it.

Thank you all and I hope this makes you laugh. Also, this chapter is mostly pointless.

.:Scarlett's POV:.

I stepped outside, which was freezing. I shivered as the wind blew into my face. Kirito stood next to me, wrapping a dark red scarf around his neck and zipping up his jacket.

"So what were those questions about?" I wondered aloud. "They seemed pretty pointless to me."

Kirito glanced at me and responded with, "I dunno." Then he started walking off toward the setting sun.

I stared after him for a second, then rushed to catch up with him. I poked his shoulder, but he kept walking. I poked him again, and this time he said, "What?" in a kind of irritated voice. I giggled at that and poked him again. He huffed slightly and started walking faster. I sped up, easily keeping pace with him, and was about to poke his shoulder again when he turned toward me, and an irritated look directed at me was on his face.

"Do you need something?" he asked in a rather cold voice. I bit back a wave of hurt and worry at that comment and smiled.

"~Nope! I just felt like doing this!~" I said in the most annoying voice I have while poking him again.

Kirito just stared at me as though the wind had stolen my sanity. I stared back for a moment, and then... I poked him again and took off running.

Glancing back, I saw Kirito chasing after me, a grin stealing across his face. I felt my mouth twitch in response and focused on getting home in one piece.

By the time I made it home, I was breathing heavily and leaning against a wall. The temperature had dropped, but sometime while I was running, the cold had stopped bothering me.

Looking up, I saw Kirito running toward me, his breathing just as harsh as mine was, and I jumped up. Bolting to the door with energy I didn't know I had left, I swung it open and dashed inside, going up the stairs to lock myself in the bathroom, which was the only room with a lock on it.

Outside, I heard the door shutting, and Kirito's feet pounded up the stairs. I held my breath, my heart racing from running so far, and tried to be as quiet as possible.

The footsteps continued down the hall, passing the room I was in, and I quietly unlocked the door and opened it, taking a peek around the corner. Kirito was at my door, presumably in the act of opening it, and I pulled the door to the bathroom the rest of the way open, stepped outside, and shut it as softly as I could. Stifling my laughter, I went down the hallway in the direction of Kirito's room.

By chance, he looked up and saw me sneaking my way down the hall. "Scarlett!" he yelled.

In the calmest voice I could muster while trying not to snicker, I replied, "Yes?" It sounded completely innocent. I laughed a bit under my breath and started running toward Kirito's door.

I pulled open the door right as hands caught my arms and dragged me away from the door. Kirito picked me up, tossing me over his shoulder as he did so, and walked outside, where it was currently snowing.

He dumped me on the sidewalk unceremoniously, and I blinked up at him for a moment. Then, shivering, I stood up and made for the door. He stopped me and I glared at him slightly, finally shrugging.

"Okay, I'll stay out here, but I swear to Death, if I freeze to death out here, I am coming back and haunting you until you die," I told him, smiling widely as I did so.

Kirito relented, throwing his hands up and stalking back inside. I followed.

One mug of hot cocoa and several Oreos later, I had finally stopped shivering. Kirito sat on the couch next to me, looking slightly guilty.

I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could get a word out, the doorbell rang. I stood up to go answer it, but Kirito beat me to the door.

"HELLO PEASANTS. INVITE YOUR GOD IN BEFORE HIS PARTNER FREEZES TO DEATH," Blackstar instructed us. I frowned slightly, wondering why he and the black haired girl had showed up here.

"Um..." Kirito looked back toward me. I nodded slightly, figuring there was no harm in letting them in. "Come on in, I guess," he finished.

Blackstar pushed past him and sat down in a seat, hands laced behind his head with his eyes shut. The raven haired girl sat next to him. I looked at her. "I'm sorry, but I still don't know your name," I said.

The girl looked momentarily surprised, like that wasn't what she had expected me to say, but she quickly answered, "I'm Tsubaki." I nodded, turning my attention to the next question. "Why are you two here?"

Blackstar opened one eye to look at me. "We need to talk," he said, probably as seriously as he had ever said anything.

*I have an idea for my next chapter, and it's going to really piss Kirito off. (grins evilly)*

I get the feeling I should start running now. Wish me luck getting away!
