Kirito x Asuna

The talk (sort of)

Aki's P.O.V.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"

The sharp pain that quickly kept pulling me back to my senses, resonated throughout my head. My hands, and my fingers, were wrapped tightly around my dyed bright blonde hair, slowly revealing my true color bit by bit as I pulled hard.

"Damn it all!!!" I said, with one final spurt of violence on my blonde hair, while slowly sliding down the wooden door that was concealing me and <<her>> from the outside school rush.

This is wrong, all wrong! What did I do?!? I planned everything down to the very last detail!

After giving up on my now messed up hair, I wrapped my arms around myself. My perfectly manicured nails dug into my pure white arms, creating little red marks up and down my wrists.

"Stop overreacting Barbie!, there was always a small percentage of this happening from the very beginning anyway. And you knew it." The small silhouette that stood quietly in the corner of the classroom, where the afternoon sun didn't hit her, talked softly. "Listen, I didn't just do all that spying for nothing! You hear me? You've got to get yourself together!"

She's right, but can I move on?, I mean, what that transfer student did to my Kiri is unforgivable....

I thought, while digging my nails deeper into my already reddened skin.

As if seeing the inner turmoil within her employer, the shadow slowly, but surely made her way toward an empty desk, while talking, "Something big is about to happen tonight at the sunshine bakery, and you'd better be prepared for it Blondie"

The afternoon sun that had recently not touched any part of the small girl, suddenly overwhelmed her as she sat down on the creaky wooden desks. Her bright turquoise eyes, were in complete contrast, compared to her dark colored sweater and hair as soon as the light appeared on her white, marble colored skin. "Are you sure that you can do this?"

I suddenly jolted up, in surprise to Katsu's sharp words, "O-Of course I can! I j-just need to calm down a little is all..." I said, desperately trying to relax.

I have to calm down, and think about what I get out of this...calm, calm, calm....but, but my poor Kiri....she did this to him....

I felt my arms constrict around myself again, unconsciously. The dull sunlight, that was shining on my face just seconds before, suddenly disappeared by a big gray cloud slowly floating over. The empty classroom, that had been flowing with a deep orange color, slowly darkened to a silent, depressing aura.

"Listen, Imai, I don't really see what the big deal is, she just kissed him." Katsu said, looking down at me, with an emotion that can only be described as pity.

At that moment-

My entire body stopped. Stopped shaking, stopped hurting, stopping thinking. And I slowly got up to my feet, not caring to look at the spy that got me all the juicy info on Aincrad's top couple.

"It's not about the kiss Katsu, I thought you knew that already..." I silently said.

"Oh?, then what is it about then?" A mocking tone was mixed in with Katsu's already rude comment.

"The mark"

...Silence...

"Huh...?" The bright-eyed spy asked

"The mark! The mark that that stupid transfer student made on my Kiri!!! I don't care to know her name, but I'm pretty sure that it was chosen from the fiery depths of hell!" I yelled, letting all of my anger flow out into meaningless words.
