Ch 3. Saved By Mr. Hero

Everyone was looking at Asuna, their eyes wide, and their mouths in wide smiles. 'Why can't Kirito hurry... I don't want to tell them the story' She thought, 'maybe just small parts, N-Not all of it' With her mind made up, she sighed heavily.

~Kirigaya Residence~

"Hey! Midori!" Yelled Kazuto, to his mother. "I'm finally done, moving those boxes." Said Kazuto plopping down on the steps leading to his house. "Here Kazuto, have some water," said Midori, handing him a glass of water. He happily accepted the water, and gulped it down quickly. "I need to go," said Kazuto checking his phone for the time. '14:30pm(2:30pm) I need go back to the cafe'

"Midori, I have to get back to that meeting. I told Sugu I would be back around 15:00pm(3:00pm) to pick her up." Said Kazuto, grabbing his black jacket off the rack. "Alright! Be safe on the road." Said Midori, being hesitant on her question she was going to ask. "Um... K-Kazuto, can I ask you something before you leave?" Asked Midori, looking at her son as he stood up. "Sure," said Kazuto turning to look at his mother.

"So... When are you going to introduce me to Asuna?" She asked a bit to quickly. Caught off gaurd by the question, he stood there thinking for a few seconds. "Um... I-I don't know..." He said looking at the ground. "I'll asked her sometime, her parents are quite strict about her having a boyfriend." Said Kazuto running his hand through his hair.

"Well, that's good to know that you will try." Laughed Midori, "when ever she can come over! Please do let her, I would love to meet the person that you love so much," said Midori, as she walked back into the house. Trying to hold her laughter in at his embarrassment. With a sigh, he walked over to his motorcycle, and mounted it. 'Why does she do that...' Thought Kazuto as he sped off to the cafe.

"Alright, after meeting Kirito-kun, we had to solve this... Um.. Murder case I should say." Said Asuna, thinking about the right words. "Murder case?!" Said Keiko, a look of pure shock on her face. "Yes, some people were in a safe zone, and seemed to have died. But for some reason, they faked their deaths... I still have no clue why they would do something like that.." Said Asuna, looking into her glass of water.

"That seems... Scary..." Said Sugu looking at the ground. Just then Rika stood up furiously, and said, "Asuna! I don't think we want to hear about those stories!" She looked at the other girls, hinting to what they really wanted to know. "T-Then what do you want to know..?" Asuna asked, soon regretting asking that question. With a small giggle, Rika said, "we want to know when you started liking Kirito!" Said Rika, moving her hands against each other. The other girls nodded in agreement, and looked at Asuna.

"Um..." Started Asuna, thinking quickly on how she was going to answer the question. 'I'll buy sometime, Kirito-kun should be here soon' She thought, looking at the clock on the far wall. "Well, it was when he gave me a S-Class ingredient. The Ragout Rabbit, he was going to sell it to Agil," as she pointed in Agil's direction. "but I went to go see him, to make sure he was alive." She said, thinking about that time. "Wait a minute!" Said Agil, standing up and hitting his fist on the table. "You guys didn't give me any of that great food!" In sudden shock, Asuna stared at Agil, but quickly recovering from it. "S-Sorry," she said in between giggles, "I guess we didn't want it going to anyone else." She said while laughing.

"Please continue, we want to know everything Asuna." Said Rika smirking at her, and looking at the other girls at the table. With a silent sigh, she continued. "After that, I asked him to party up with me..." She said looking down at the ground, and quietly saying, "More like forced..." The other girls looked at her in shock, surprised at her sudden actions. "Asuna? I didn't know you were that forward to Kirito," said Rika, giggling a bit. "W-Well, I couldn't do anything else... I liked him..." Said Asuna, pouting a little bit. 'Such an embarrassment... I can't believe they are making me do this..' She thought, as she looked out the window. Expecting her prince in shining black armor to come through the door.

"Then after, we when to get ready for a dungeon. Then my escort followed me..." She said with disgust at thinking of that thought. "He then challenged Kirito-kun to a duel, to prove that he was better in protecting me than Kirito-kun." She said, before taking a sip of her water. "Kuradeel lost the battle, and left for headquarters...A very days later, Kuradeel, Godfree, and Kirito-kun went for some training. Kuradeel, killed Godfree, and almost killed Kirito-kun." Tears started forming around her eyes. She closed her eyes, trying to get ride of them quickly.

Standing up, Rika walked over to Asuna, and comforted her. "Hey Asuan, it's okay. That is long ago, now you still have in." She said smiling, even though thinking that Asuna deserved better. "So.. I barely got there in time to save Kirito-kun. But I let my guard down for 2 seconds... And was almost killed. Kirito-kun risked his life for mine. He even lost his left arm protecting me." She sat there and thought of what to say next... If she told them about the kiss, the couple would never hear the end of it.

"I know something happened after Asuna. I can tell by the look in your eyes." Said Rika, smirking once again. With a heavy sigh, she continued. Trying to stall just a bit more time. "I as reileved of course that I survived. But I also felt bad that I almost killed someone I cared for... I started crying, and told him that I would leave him alone from now on." She stared at her hands, shaking tremendously. "Then..." She said, wondering if should should say or not... "Then what Asuna?" Said Rika, sitting at the edge of her seat, just like every other girl there. Agil and Klein a bit less interested, but still listening closely.

She took in her breath, 'Now I have to tell them...' She thought, thinking of Kirito-kun. Silently apologizing to him from this distance. "Then, me and K-Kirito-kun talked. After I said those things he..." She was suddenly cut off, when the door to the cafe opened. And in came Kirito, taking off his helmet, and putting it on the counter. "Did I miss anything special?" He asked, looking around at the people sitting at the table. Asuna stood up quickly, and ran to him giving him a hug.

He was caught off guard and lost some of his balance. Quickly regaining it before he fell on the floor. "Woah Asuna, I'm happy to see you too." He said laughing a little. Asuna brought her head up to his ear, and whispered. "We were talking about how we met you... I was j-just starting to talk about what happened with Kuradeel" She then separated from her partner. She couldn't help but laugh a little at his expression. A slight shade of red, shown on his face.

Looking around the room, he saw that everyone was a bit upset. 'Did they really want to know how me and Asuna met?' He thought, but quickly shaking it off. "Sugu, are you ready to go home?" He asked his little sister. Sugu looked at him thinking for a bit. "I have to walk to the store and get some school supplies, I'll be fine" She said, smiling her bright smile.

"Alright, Asuna, do you want a ride home?" Kirito asked. The other girls in the back were completely red faced at his sudden gesture. Asuna giggled looking at her friends, then turned back to Kirito. " I would love to ride on your motorcycle with you," she said, giving him a beautiful smile. Laughing, he took her hand and sat down a the table with everyone else. "So, what are you guys doing?" Asked Kirito, lightly squeezing Asuna's hand. Rika was the first to answer, "we were just talking about the past years in Sword Art Online." She replied, glaring at Kirito when he was talking with Asuna. Not even seeming to listen to what she had just said.

"That's nice, I would like to forget a few things though..." Said Kirito, looking at everyone on the table. "But, if I forgot everything, I would have never met the love of my life." Said Kirito, looking straight at Asuna. Asuna started to blush a dark red. She then tooking a quickly glance at the clock on the wall. "Oh! I-It's 17:00pm( 5:00pm) alright?" Yelped Asuna. She got up quickly, dragging Kirito along with her. "My parents are expecting me home by 17:30pm(5:30pm) Kirito-kun, we should get going," As she kept dragging Kirito along with her. "Umm... O-Okay," stuttered Kirito, finally regaining his balance, and got on his motorcycle. "We'll see you guys online later!" He shouted as he and Asuna got on the bike. Wrapping her arms around Kirito, they sped off to Asuna's home.

"Man! We never get to know how they first started liking each other!" Shouted Rika, pouting as she watching them leave the building. "I just want to know when happened at the end of that story.." Said one of the girls sitting next the Keiko. "We'll get it out of Asuna, she tells us everything... Most of the time" Said Rika, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, we should get going. There is school tomorrow, and we should get some rest." Said Keiko, stretching her arms when she stood. "Agreed, I'm tired from this gathering. See you all tomorrow!" Said Klein as he walked out of the building.

Everyone started leaving the building. Soon, the cafe was empty, in which Agil closed up shop for the day. Everyone headed home, while Sugu went to the store to get supplies. Kirito and Asuna were headed to her house. Just waiting for the next day to start.
