The Healing of a Frozen Heart

Part Two: A Faithful Winter Night

Kirito left his apartment and started heading towards the Library. It was around 9:30 at night and the Tokyo night sky couldn't be more beautiful. The sky was a perfect pitch black, but the moonlight shed just enough light.. His motorcycle would make for a quick ride back and forth. As Kirito drove on, he noticed a very familiar feminine figure who was waiting at a bus stop bench. She seemed to be sitting up fine, but she seemed... dazed.. almost as if she was, asleep. As he drove closer to the figure, he could make out who it was. "A-Asada-san?" Kirito exclaimed. "What the hell is she doing here all alone?" Kirito drove over to the young girl.  And the first thing he noticed was her beautiful, short, brown hair that seemed to radiate and shine in the moonlight. He then noticed her beautiful, petite body and face. He sat there for a good 30 seconds just admiring her beauty.. "She's so beautiful I just wanna...wait, no Kirigaya! Don't think that.. She's, she's just a friend.. Yes, this was true. They were friends. But Kirito wanted to be more than friends. Ever since he met her, he'd admired her.. 

*flashback* "K-Kirito-kun... I-I want you to be happy.. and to move on.. I know you and Asada-san are close.. and I just want to let you know.. that I'm fine with you dating her.. anyone for that matter.. I-I just want you to be happy Kirito-kun.. tell Yui, that everything is gonna be all right. A-and that I love her. Asuna said these last few words with tears in her eyes. I-I love you Kirito-kun.. I love y-  *flashback end*

"A-Asada-san?" He asked. No answer. "Asadaa-sann?" He said once more. And again, no answer. Worried that his best friend may be knocked out, he took matters into his own hands and shook her. "ASADA-SANNN!" He yelled. "Wha-wha?" The girl finally spoke. She was a bit dazed at first. But, now aware of the situation, she freaked out. For Kirito's face was mere inches from her own and she was staring into his deep, grayish, black eyes.. "God his eyes are beautiful" She thought.. Afraid that she was staring too long at him, she said something to break the silence.  "Kirigaya-Kun?!? What are you doing here?! Don't touch me idiot!" She said, as she pushed him off "A-are you following me?!?" She screamed. "N-No! Asada-san!" Kirito yelled "I was just driving by and I saw you... and.." "And you walk up to me just to grab me and shake me? Tch. You're such an idiot..." said Asada, pouting, but secretly dying of happiness due to the fact this whole situation happened. Ever since they met, she had felt a strong feeling towards him. Not sure if love, or jealousy, she decided to keep the feeling hidden. Until that night. When she finally knew this strange emotion she had felt towards him. "I'm sorry Asada-san. You were out here alone and I just got worried.. Why are you out here anyway?" Kirito questioned. "Isn't it obvious? I'm waiting for the bus, stupid." Said Asada with an annoyed tone in her voice. "How long have you been out here?  You're house is pretty far from here... and it's late.. How about I just drive you?" Asked Kirito. "Er-erm. I don't need you're handouts idiot!" Exclaimed Asada. "Cmon Asada-san. You know how much you love riding on my bike.." she couldn't deny it. She loved riding with Kirito. The feel of her hair flowing through the breeze. The fact that there was beautiful snow lightly falling from the sky.. and the fact that she could embrace Kirito. His warmth was something she couldn't get enough of. She remembered back then in the cave...  "Fine." She said. "Only because it's really late and I don't wanna pay for a bus." "Okay Asada-san. Where we headed?" "Um to my apartment is fine.." "Okay. Hold on!"
