A/N: GUYS I THINK I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY EMAIL. IT'S SPAMMING EVERYTHING FROM FANFICTION AND IT'S GETTING ON MY NERVES SO MUCH. *flips table and smacks head on wall* ... Ow... While I try to fix this, go on and read the side story... Also... 25,000 VIEWS! LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH AND ALL OF YOU ROCK AND DID I MENTION THAT I LOVE YOU ALL!?

Kazuto, sitting on one of the snow covered benches near the school entrance, pulled the collar of his coat closer to his neck.

"Class doesn't even starts for thirty more minutes... This better be worth it Liz..." He grumbled to himself, a small puff of vapor escaping his mouth as he did. The day before, he had received a message from Rika saying that he needed to come to school early since she needed to talk to him in person urgently.

"She says that but she could have at least come at the time she said to..." He said as he blew onto his glove covered hands, heating them up with his breath.

'At least this is the last day of school and then winter break...' He thought as he heard the sound of snow crunching under someone's footsteps. He turned and smiled immediately, seeing someone he wasn't expecting to see for maybe twenty more minutes.

"Asuna, why are you here?" He said, startling the long-haired girl.

"K-Kirito-kun!? Jeez you scared me!" She said as she walked over to him. Kazuto immediately brushed off more of the snow from the bench for Asuna to sit down on.

"Sorry, didn't mean to." He said as she sat down.

"I know... Why are you here?"

"I asked you first."

"Eh? Oh, right... Well I came earlier than planned since I needed to get some stuff..." She said, slightly fidgeting.

"You forgot your school bag here, didn't you?" He asked.

"W-What!? N-No!" She said, her face going red and it wasn't from the cold.

"Then where's your bag?" He asked as he raised his eyebrow.

"...s-somewhere..." She said as she turned away from his face.

"Asuna..."

"Alright! So I left my school bag here," Asuna said, pouting and crossing her arms at the end of her sentence, making Kazuto smile again, "I was in such a hurry to leave yesterday that I didn't even get a chance to grab it..."

"At least you didn't have homework to turn in." He said.

"That's because I do mine ON TIME... Anyway, why are you here?"

"Because Liz messages me last night saying that she needed to see me as soon as possible and then ended up not showing up." Kazuto said with a slightly irritated tone in his voice.

"Don't worry. I'm sure that Liz will get here soon," She said as she stood up from the bench,"I need to go get my bag before the teachers see." Asuna gave Kazuto a brief kiss on the cheek before running off to the main building. He watched her running figure as it disappeared into the school building and sighed as he continued to wait. After a few more minutes, he heard more footsteps and saw Rika running from the school entrance to where he was.

"One, you're late. Two, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about." He asked as Rika sat down where Asuna had been sitting.

"I just wanted to do this!" She said before pulling his collar back and threw a chunk of ice into his shirt. Kazuto immediately stood up and untucked his shirt in a panic, the piece of ice falling into the snow. He looked to where Rika had been sitting and saw her running form head toward the main building of the school where Asuna had entered a few minutes before.

"That's for what you did a few months ago!" (1) She said before she entered the building. Kazuto immediately thought of revenge on the short-haired girl. He ran to the school building and ran to where he knew she would be where she had first period. He entered the class and saw only Asuna grabbing her bag from one of the desks in the middle row.

"Did you see where Liz went!?" he asked her, out of breath.

"Liz? I thought she hasn't come in yet."

"She got here and now I want revenge for putting ice in my shirt." He said, still feeling a cold dampness on his back where the ice had previously been.

"Well I haven't seen her. Did you check her first class?"

"This IS her first class!"

"Hmm…" Asuna walked over to a desk and checked the inside of it.

"Well she was here." She said as she took out a school bag with a small blacksmithing hammer keychain hanging from it.

"Perfect!" he said as he took Rika's bag, "don't tell her I have it." He said as he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before running away to another part of the building to hide it.

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU PUT IT!?" Rika asked as she held Kazuto's head in a headlock.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" he said as Rika rubbed her knuckles on his head as hard as she could.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW!? YOU TOOK MY SCHOOL BAG AND SCHOOL STARTS IN 7 MINUTES!" She said as some students a few feet away saw the scene and laughed as they headed on inside.

"I-I didn't take anything!" He said in between some sounds of pain. Asuna was standing on the side as this happened, wondering if she should just tell Rika where he put it or if she should just let Kazuto suffer the consequences of taking her bag.

'Maybe just a few more seconds' she thought as she saw that Kazuto was close to admitting where he had put it.

"L-Liz! Your hold is getting a bit too tight! Choking!" He said as the lack of air could practically be heard in his voice. Rika sighed and let go, Kazuto exaggerating on regaining his breath and going to the extent of falling to his knees.

"Sweet air!" he said as he grabbed his throat, making both girls sigh and shake their head at him.

"JUST TELL ME WHERE MY BAG IS AT!" Rika said as she pulled his collar again, "CLASS IS ABOUT TO START AND I CAN'T BE LATE AGAIN!" she said as she pulled on his collar on each word.

"Choking again! CHOKING AGAIN!" he said as he began to pull on his collar to breathe better.

"We wouldn't be having this problem if you just GIVE ME BACK MY BAG!" She said as she gave a final tug before letting go again.

"S-Supply closet… it's in the supply closet." he said as he held is neck again. Rika ran down the hall and went to the nearest supply closet, bumping into other students and saying a half-hearted sorry as she ran.

"Kirito-kun…"

"I know I know… I probably should have made my revenge a little more planned." He said, receiving a small smack on the top of his head.

"T-That's not what I wanted to say!" she said as she helped him up, "Let's just get to class, we'll be late." They both started to walk to their own homerooms and sat down at their desks.

'At least I know what NOT to do to get revenge on Liz…' he thought as he opened his school bag to get his things for class.
