A/N: Again, I'm apologizing for the fact that I still haven't updated my other story. I've been busy with studying for the ACT (if you are taking this as well, I wish you good luck) since I take it next week today. I hope you guys understand that and I will update it after the tests! I promise!

Kazuto saw the time and knew that by now most of the streets will have been cleaned by the plow trucks, making him glum at the thought that Asuna was going to have to leave soon. Asuna saw the face he was making and put her hand on his shoulder, directing his attention from the living room window and to her.

"What's wrong Kirito-kun?" she asked him, making him blush a bit at the fact that she had seen his expression.

"I-It's nothing. I was just wondering if the snow was getting cleared." He said, Asuna narrowing at the way that his voice came out. She looked at him again and saw that he had a downcast look in his eyes, letting up of the slight glare she was giving him and instead leaned her head on his shoulder.

'I guess the time i have with kirito-kun is coming to an end.' she thought, hearing footsteps coming from towards them. A calmed down Sugu and Shinichi walked in, sitting opposite from them.

"Nagata I don't know what you did to calm her down but I'll call you over when she gets like that from now on." Kazuto said as he tried to lighten the mood he created, Sugu immediately glaring at him for his comment.

"Onii-chan I can tell Asuna-san embarrassing stuff too you know?" She said, making Kazuto stiffen next to Asuna.

"You wouldn't…"

"I still have pictures from middle school." she threatened, making him feel slightly proud of her for having taught her well.

"Okay… Nothing to say for now." he said, Asuna turning to look at him with a surprised look on her face.

'Just what could be in those photos that even Kirito-kun is terrified of them being seen..' Asuna thought, seeing Kazuto running his hand through his hair as he usually in a nervous habit. She made a mental note to ask Sugu later what was in those photos that made him like this. Kazuto cleared his throat and tried to change the subject, not wanting Asuna to remember about this later.

"So how did practice go?" Kazuto asked them, a blush forming on Sugu's face, surprising the older couple. They both remembered then how Midori was smiling when she had seen the both of them.

"P-Practice was good…" Sugu answered, Shinichi avoiding everyone's gaze as he tried not to blush like his girlfriend.

"If it was a good practice session then how come Nagata doesn't look hurt." Kazuto pointed out.

"W-Well I'm not going to hurt my boyfriend!" She exclaimed. Kazuto immediately knew that they didn't practice at all, Asuna catching on since she had been told stories of how Kazuto had been hurt from practicing with his younger sister.

"Nagata should be hurt considering he has never spared with you, let alone practiced kendo." he said, bringing up a point they hadn't thought of.

"S-She went easy on me!" Shinichi said, the tone of his voice making it known that it was an obvious lie.

"Right… She went easy on you." Kazuto said, smiling at how fun it was to mess with them. Asuna hit his arm lightly when she saw that he was smiling at their reactions.

"I did! I-I thought that I should go easy on him! After all I can't face him head on like I do to you." Sugu said, making when Shinichi said sound more real than he had said. Kazuto sighed and conceited to that point when he saw Asuna glaring at him through the corner of his eye. Before anyone could continue the conversation, they heard a voice in the hallway speaking to what seemed to someone over the phone. They saw Midori pass by with her phone next to her ear, heading towards the kitchen. She saw them and pointed at Asuna and then at the phone, all of them understanding that she was speaking to her parents.

"I hope she's speaking with your dad and not your mom." Kazuto said to her.

"I'm hoping for the same thing… My mom would only ask a lot of questions on what happened." Asuna said, unconsciously putting her hand in his for comfort. When they heard walk out of the kitchen and towards them, she pointed at Shinichi.

"You're next. Your parents must be worried about you." Midori said as she began to make a new phone call and walked out of the room.

"I'm guessing she was talking with your dad considering how fast that phone call ended." he said, both of them remembering the last phone call Asuna's mother and Midori had being almost an hour long.

"That's a good thing. I'd hate it if your mom got into another disagreement with my mom over something." She said, Kazuto squeezing her hand. They both felt a small vibration between them and Asuna took out her phone, seeing the text message that she got.

"I-It's Liz… She's wondering if it's okay to go over to my house to hang out now that the streets are cleared…" she told him, blushing as she did.

"Don't… Answer?" Kazuto suggested to her.

"If I do that then later she will keep sending me messages until I did answer… and if I answer then she will know that I spent the night here…"

"Good point… the last thing we need is Liz knowing that and blackmailing us…" he said, the last part reminding him of Shino and how she had some dirt on them, making him turn to his younger sister and her partner..

"Make sure that no one finds out that Nagata has slept over. It will be massive blackmail." he warned them, making them nod their heads. Midori came back just as she hung up on the call she had made.

"Okay. Both of your parents said that they will be here in about 15 minutes so you should get your stuff ready." she told them before retreating to her office, yawning as she closed the door.

"15 minutes… What should we do in the meantime?" Sugu asked everyone.

A/N: Still sorry guys! I will have it up when I finish testing! Promise!
