A/N: OMG HOLLOW FRAGMENT IS AMAZING! EMBARRASSED ASUNA-CHAN IS THE BEST ASUNA-CHAN! So about last week's chapter… I was pretty sick when I wrote that so if anything was OOC… now you know why. On a different note, I started school this week! Yay! (Not sarcastic in anyway, I actually like school) This means that, strangely enough, I have more time to write for this story! Double yay!

Asuna's laughter was cut short when a ringing sound of a message stopped her. She opened her menu and checked the message, confused as to who it was. She saw the name of the sender and immediately thought about grabbing Kirito and logging out before she regretted what she had promised.

"What's wrong Asuna-san?" Silica asked upon seeing Asuna's face.

"I have a message from Liz…" she said as she clicked the message to read it.

SENDER- LISBETH

YOU BETTER COME BACK TO MY SHOP RIGHT NOW OR I WILL GET MY MACE (Even if you are my best friend!)

YOU NEVER TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY!

COME RIGHT NOW!

I MEAN IT!

NOW!

Asuna sighed and closed her menu before taking in a deep breath. 'Where would Klein go with Kirito-kun so I can take him with me to Liz's?' she thought as she got up.

"Sorry but Liz wants me to go to her shop…" she said to the other girls. Asuna and the other girls checked the time and saw that it was 12:45 in the real world, making Silica panic slightly.

"I should log out; I think my family is expecting me." Silica said as she opened her menu. The others waved goodbye as she was logged out, blue covering her body as it disappeared.

"I should go to. There might be some people looking to give me their money!" Argo said as she jumped over the couch and walked to the door, "make sure to message me Asu-chan if you want more info!" she said as she walked out, closing the door behind her. Sinon shrugged and got up.

"I need to raise my stats more… I'll see you later." Sinon said with a light smile as she walked out the door, Asuna following to get Kirito with Yui on her shoulder.

"Where is Klein and Kirito-kun…?" she wondered as she walked a bit before taking flight on her light blue wings. She was about to fly higher to look when she heard something that sounded like Kirito's scream, only it wasn't a good one. She flew towards it to see a small black flame on the floor and Klein sitting on the floor next to the flame with his arms crossed. She landed and immediately cast a spell to revive the avatar. Kirito popped out of the flames and immediately glared at the Salamander on the floor.

"I punched you, not killed you."

"What? Can't I get a little payback?"

"LITTLE!? You killed me!"

"Guys!" Asuna said, catching both of their attentions, "Can you fight about this later? I need to take Kirito-kun with me to Liz's shop." She said as she grabbed the sleeve of Kirito's coat.

"Liz's shop? Wait… KLEIN, KILL ME AGAIN! PLEASE! RIGHT NOW!" Kirito said with panicked look in his eyes. Asuna moved her hand and began pulling her in-game husband by his ear away from Klein, who had a confused look on his face.

"We'll see you later Klein." Asuna said as they walked away, Kirito mouthing 'help' as they walked away.

INSERT LINE BREAK

"Kirito-kun, you promised you me that you would be with me when Liz asked!" Asuna said as she pouted at him.

"Since Papa promised, you have to do it." Yui said from atop of his head, her arms crossed.

"I know I know… But it's Liz! It's instinct to run when I know what's coming!" he said.

"Not good enough Kirito-kun!" she said as she walked faster, the shop only a few meters ahead of them.

"I'm going to die now…" he said as he opened the door of the shop for Asuna.

"Relax. She's not going to do that much."

"So you say…" he said as he passed through the door after her.

"Finally! I've been waiting for you! I can't believe I let you leave earlier and not make you tell me what happened!" Liz said as she popped out from behind the counter, her usual mischievous smile on her face. Asuna quickly put her hand on Kirito's collar to prevent him from running, a sigh coming from him. Liz immediately opened the back door so that they could enter in the back and sit. Asuna immediately pulled on Kirito's collar and guided him towards the back door of the shop.

"Tell. Me. Everything. Now." Liz said as she sat in one of the stools, the couple sitting on the chairs next to the table with Kirito slumping in his instantly.

"K-Kirito-kun took me to the ice skating rink today…" Asuna said with her face now red.

"And…?"

"…he also took me to a special garden…"

"Huh? It's winter! Where do you find a garden in winter!?" Liz said.

"Indoor ones?" Kirito said.

"Oh… right. I knew that… So what else? You know I like hearing details!" Liz said, wanting to know to embarrass the couple later and simply curiosity.

"Liz, you so don't make this easy…" Kirito said with his face slightly red from his cheeks.

"I know! Now talk!" she said, making him sigh. He told about how he had helped Asuna skate and how he had bought a gift for her at the garden, making Liz smile more since Kirito was the flustered one in this situation instead of Asuna. That didn't stop Asuna from being flustered though.

'Might as well just embarrass myself rather than Asuna being embarrassed' he thought as he finished telling Liz. Yui could tell what he was doing and patted her father's head.

'It's good that you keep your promises Papa'
