Ch 7. School Dance?

The following morning was just like every other morning. Get up, get dressed, eat, and leave. Kazuto got out of bed, splashing the cool water onto his face. He started getting his uniform on, when a text message buzzed on his phone. Taking a glance at it, while putting on his tie. It read, {Kirito-kun! Come to the library when you get to school. I have something important to tell you} ~Rika. Wondering what it was going to be, he grabbed his phone ran to the front door.

"Midori!" He shouted, as me ran out the door. "My friends need me for something important!" Kazuto gave a quick wave to his family, and ran towards his school. While running, he saw the city before him. The vast buildings, looming over him. The busy streets and sidewalks, packed with people. He turned the corner, and ran straight into someone. "S-Sorry," Said Kazuto, rubbing the top of his head. He looked up, to see a girl on the ground. Her group of friends helping her pick her stuff up.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" One of the ladies said, pointing at Kazuto. "Sorry, I have to get to school. My friends need me right now." He said as he started getting up to leave. But one of the girls grabbed his arm to stop him. "Hey? Aren't you Kirigaya Kazuto? The guy who cleared Sword Art Online. And saved 300 people from mind control?" Said one of the girls, getting her group of friends attention. He was shocked by hearing this, he couldn't think of any words to say. "Ya! That's right!" Said the other girl behind her. "You saved so many peoples lives!" They all started gathering around him, asking question.

He didn't know what to do. There were to many of them just for him to run away. "L-Listen, I need to get to school. I have some people that need me right now." Kazuto said, turning around to walk away. They let him leave, but instead of leaving him alone. They started following him down the sidewalk. He didn't want to be rude and tell them to leave him alone. But he didn't like that people were following him. 'How the hell do these girls know my name?!' He thought, silent rage built inside of him.

He finally reached school grounds, and started walking off to the library. "So this is SAO Survivor School," said one of the girls, looking around in awe. He still didn't want them here, so her asked. "Don't you have school to go to?" He asked, turning to look at them. They all just giggled and said, "we don't have school today, we just wore our uniforms so we could do a project." Said another girl, she was pretty short. Considering that she was in High School.

While he was talking to them, Asuna, Rika, and Keiko walked around the building. Rika was the first to see Kirito. "What?" Gasped Rika, looking over at Kirito's direction. Keiko and Asuna glanced in the direction of where she was looking. And there was Kirito, talking to some girls from a different school. "W-What is he dong?! Who are those girls?" Said Asuna, boiling anger inside of her body. "Let's go see for ourselves," said Keiko, starting to walk off in his direction. The other two followed her.

They were in ear shot, and heard. "Kazuto! You are so brave! Too think that someone like you, doesn't have a girlfriend." Said a girl, giggling behind her hand. The other girls around her also giggling. 'What is Kirito doing!' Thought Asuna, getting ready to punch someone in the face. Kirito put up is hands, and said. "Listen! I have a great girlfriend, so can you please stop!" He shouted most of this. The girls stopped laughing, and stared at him. "You have such a powerful voice!" Said another girl, finally noticing the three other girls coming to join them. She started whispering to the other girls about their arrival.

Kirito turned as well, too see his friends. A show of relief swept over his face. 'I'm saved! Please Asuna, don't be mad..' He thought, looking at his girlfriend. Who had a look of anger on her once soft face. "Kirito-kun, what's going on here?" She asked, standing right beside him. Looking him straight into the eyes. "Well, I was walkign to school. And these girls followed me here." He said, nodding his head in the group of girls direction.

Asuna turned and looked at the other girls. She glared at them, making them hesitate before speaking. "W-We knew he was Kazuto, the boy who saved the vitual world. S-So we wanted to talk to him." Finally said one of the girls, looking at the ground. "You are Asuna right?" Said the girl next to her. "We heard a lot about you!" Kirito and Asuna exchanged glances, shrugging at what to say next. Asuna just wrapped her arms around Kirito's arm, and said. "So. What about him not having a girlfriend?" She asked, looking around to see who had said it.

The group of girls were instantly shocked. "Y-You two are d-dating?" Asked the tallest girl, who was standing in the very back. Kirito gave Asuna a smile and kissed her forehead. "Of course we are, I would never give her up." Rika and Keiko were standing nearby, not wanting to interfere. Asuna glanced over at them, and beckoned them to join her and Kirito. Asking for assistance silently. Rika and Keiko, finally started walking towards them. "Have you not heard?" Said Rika, laughing a little. "They both cleared Sword Art Online! They loved each other, even when they barely knew each other!" Said Rika, both hands on her hips.

Both Kirito and Asuna, looked at her like she just told the army to shoot a puppy. They both started laughing a little. "Rika," said Asuna, tapping her on the shoulder. "Don't you think you are... exaggerating a bit?" Said, Asuna glancing at the group of girls. Who continued to talk to Kirito, after Asuna left his side. "I'm trying to keep those girls from taking Kirito from you." Then Rika shrugged, "unless you want those girls to keep flirting with him."

Asuna just stood there, a stunned look on her face. "H-Hey!" Shouted Asuna, turning to look at the girls. "School's about to start, come on Kirito-kun." She said, grabbing his arm and pulling him away. "O-Oh Hey! Asuna! " Said Kirito, his feet barely able to walk while being pulled. Keiko and Rika just laughed, and followed them into the school. The group of girls were stunned, one second they were standing there. The next, they were all in the school.

"So, Um.." Said one of the girls, blonde hair in a high pony tail. "Do you think Yuuki Asuna is really dating Kirigaya Kazuto?" She asked, staring at the school building. The girls starting having a discussion about that. They started walking away from the school. Going off to their own projects for school.

Meanwhile, Kirito was still being dragged by Asuna. After finally reaching his home room, she finally let go. "Kirito-kun, why were they with you?" She asked, crossing her arms. "Ow..." Said Kirito, tilting his head up to look at her. "Well, you see. I was running to school to get here early. Because Rika was going to tell me something. I turned around the corner, and ran into one of those girls. They started following me..." Said Kirito, starting to stand up from the floor. Sighing, Asuna helped him up from the ground. "Kirito-kun, you have to be more careful next time." She said, looking around his classroom.

Everyone was staring at them, wondering what in the world just happened. "I know Asuna, Rika told me it was important." He said, taking her hand and leading her out of his class. Whispers could be heard from the classmates that were seated. "Well, Kirito-kun, I'll be waiting for you at lunch again. I know you just love my sandwiches." Said Asuna, giggling at his reaction to the sound of food. She gave him a quick hug, and ran off to her own home room.

Kirito finally turned around, and started walking into class. When a bunch boys from his class came up to him. "Hey! Kazuto, we never thought you would find a girl like that!" Said one of the boys in front of him. "Come on Tenzin, you have no faith that I got a girlfriend?" Replied Kirito, pushing passed his friends to his seat. "B-But she's Yuuki Asuna! Her parents would have never approved of you!" He said, spreading his hands out like was about to hug someone.

"A-Aren't you going to ask her to the dance?" Asked another kid behind Tenzin. Kirito looked up, a shocked expression on his face. "W-What? We're having a d-dance? Asked Kirito, still trying to process what he just heard. "Come on! Don't tell me you didn't know!" Shouted Tenzin. Just before everyone was about to talk about it. The school bell rung for the students to stop talking and sit down. They pulled out their textbooks, and started learning.

Meanwhile, in Asuna's classroom. Everyone was starting to gather around the door. Wondering why she was not early to the classroom. Like she always was. "I um..." She started, not wanting to finish. "You were with Kazuto weren't you?!" Stated a girl to the right of her. The girls started bickering about her relationship. Telling her that she could do better, or that she should move on. She just simply said no to those thoughts, and pushed her way to her seat. "Well, if he really does love you that much. Then he would have asked you to the dance." Said another girl, how sat behind Asuna. "D-Dance?" Said Asuna, shocked at what was just said.

"Ya, there is a dance coming up soon." She said, pulling out her notebook and pencils. "I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't ask you." She continued. "He has a lot of admirers, he has so many options." Asuna looked at her notebook. Where the picture of Kirito and her were placed. 'Would Kirito-kun do that?' She thought, not wanting to know the answer.

Finally, the bell rung and class started. All day, Kirito and Asuna were thinking about the dance. Not know what to do about it, just learning about it. Classes seemed like they are taking forever to finish. Both students, were not focused most of the class time. But just enough, to grasp what they were supposed to learn. Finally, lunch came around for the students.

Kirito quickly got up from his desk, and walked out. He followed the same hall he always did. That lead to the bench, that was around the school grounds. And of course, Asuna was always there first. Her class was much closer to is, so she could save it for them. "Hey! Asuna!" Said Kirito, waving his hand. She returned the wave, and slid over a bit to make room for him. "Ahh, I'm tired," Kirito said, leaning back on the bench. "Kirito-kun, you need more rest. Or are you always tired?" She said, a look of disappointment settled across her face.

Reeling back, he replied. "N-No, I'm rested just fine, I could run a mile." She said, a nervous laugh coming out of his mouth. With a giggle, she pulled out the basket fill with sandwiches. "Ta da!" She said, giving one to Kirito. Upon seeing the sandwiches, he was widened eyed. He didn't want to wait any longer. "Thank you!" Shouted Kirito, taking a bite out of the sandwhich. With delight, he continued eating the sandwich.

After they had finished their meal, they started off to the Dice Cafe. "I really hope this meeting had something to do with a new quest." Stated Kirito, a look of determination slapped across his face. Asuna giggled, and replied, "I hope so, I think that we should start looking for more rare items." As they reached the cafe, they were greeted with laughter and smiles from all of their friends.

"Asuna!" Shouted Rika, waving at them. "Ah~, Rika!" Said Asuna, returning the wave. She walked over to where the girls sat, and joined them. While Kirito went over to the bar, and sat with his friends. "Klein, what other quests do you think we can do?! We need to get ready for the next boss fights in the floors. On level 76, the quests are starting to run out." Said Kirito, playing around with the drink in his hands. "Well, we can go through the floor to get to the next area. But of course, we need to clear that floor first to get to the new quests..." Said Klein, looking over at Andrew. They continued talking about the new quests, and their future plans for the next floor boss.

Meanwhile, over to where Asuna and her friends were sitting. "So~~ Asuna, has Kirito asked you to the dance yet." Said Rika, already getting to the thing that everyone wants to know. Shocked, Asuna cleared her throught. "Kirito-kun hasn't asked me to it yet..." The girls looked around in quite a bit of shock. "Really?! You guys seem to close to each other! I thought he would have asked you right when he knew about it." Said one of the girls sitting next to Rika. "Well, maybe he doesn't know there is one then. Have you ever thought of that Midori!" Said another girl in the corner seat. The girls continued talking about the dance. Who was going to do, and who was not.

The meeting finally ended, on a good note. They were planning on meeting next week for the boss fight on floor 76. They were in the meantime, going to do side quests till the appointed date. Everyone left the cafe, starting off for home. Kirito was walking Asuna home, in the busy streets. Kirito was looking down at his feet, seeming to be thinking about something. Asuna finally caught on to his strange behavior, and instantly questioned. "Kirito-kun? Are you okay?" She asked, looking into his eyes. A worried expression appeared on her face. "I've been thinking," said Kirito, looking back at her. He hesitated for a moment, before popping the question. "D-do you want to go to the school dance with me?" He said rather quickly. Asuna just took his hand, and simply replied "Yes".
