"You know you've been back for two weeks now. And you mean to tell me you and Kirito haven't been out on a date yet?" I nod. "He's still working three jobs. And hardly sleeping. I already told him that I'm fine and stable, but he still wants to make sure I guess. I just hate seeing him so tired he's working himself to much. He comes home, goes to hug me and he'll fall asleep in my arms." Asuna sighed.

"Yeah, when he was staying with me he seemed to get more sleep, but that's because i forced him to. N-Not that I forced myself on to him. I-I was just full filling my promise to you." I giggled.

"Aussie I love you, thank you for keeping you're promise it means a lot." Then i seen Knight. I invited him out to lunch with Asuna and I. Since we synced up I've been thinking about him more. We hardly know anything about each other.

"You don't mind that I invited Knight do you?" She shakes her Head with a smile. "Okay, well I'll be right back, that clueless idiot is over there standing around." She laughed then i run over to Knight.

"Hey! Xena how are you?" He asked hugging me. I hugged him back. "I'm great."

"You look really pretty Xena. You look really different from your avatar I played with in GGO. When we synced up i guess i didn't notice." he scratched the back of his neck and slightly blushed?

"You look exactly like your avatar, and I don't look that much different. My eyes are the same color and my hair isn't like down the ground anymore, also my height is the same." He just looks me up and down and raised an eye brow. "You look shorter." I giggled then pushed him slightly. "Come on lets go have lunch now, Asuna and I have been waiting for ever." He rolled his eyes.

"Sorry, I was busy."

"Ooh busy. What have better things to do?" He shook his head. "No, nothing else I rather do." Then we make our way back to Asuna. She smiled. "Hi Knight!" She smiled. "Hello Asuna. It's a pleasure to see you again." She smiled. We sat down.

"How come you're not nice to me like that?" I fake being hurt. "Asuna is a very kind beautiful woman. And she's always sweet to me." Asuna slightly blushed. Awh they'd be so cute together.

"Thank you so much Knight." She slightly bows towards him. "You're Welcome." I wonder is Knight likes Aussie?

After lunch

"Thanks again for walking me home Knight, i could of walked myself." He lets go of my hand. This might sound silly but, I don't like to cross the street unless I'm holding someones hand.

"Thanks again for not making fun of me because I needed to hold your hand." I blushed embarrassed. "No need to thank me. Anything for you really. I mean if you were to get hurt then so would I wouldn't I?" I shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." He walks me to the front door. "So are you going to be alright being here alone?" he asked worried. I nod. "Yeah, Kirito Will be home after work, then I have to try and convince him to stay home and rest. He's working to much. We got into fight last night. We've never fought before."

"You know if you ever need a place to stay you can always stay with me if you and Kirito get into a fight again. I don't like seeing you so sad." he lifts my head up with his index finger. My breath hitchs in my throat. What is he doing?

"I'm fine really Knight." He smiled.

"You keep saying that, but I see sadness in your eyes." staring into his Violet eyes I almost feel hypnotized. He leans down and I get nervous that he's about to kiss me. But he doesn't, he kissed my cheek.

"You're my best friend. And I want you to be happy, so please don't worry about Kirito. He'll come around, and realize how important it is to you that he spends time with you." I smiled and hugged him. He's a good guy and one of my best friends. We haven't known each other long, but i feel like I've known him for such a long time, it's crazy.

"I have to go but I'll text you later, bye Xena."

"Bye Knight." I waved, then went inside it was dark. As I turned the lights on i realized that Kirito won't be home for another two hours :(

I sighed then made my way towards his bed room, i have a charging station, he uses it to monitor me, it make sure I'm okay. We don't sleep in the same room. I guess we're not there in oyr relationship yet? Which I find it hard to believe.

I laid on the bed and stare at the ceiling. I wonder why Kirito does want to spend time with me anymore. Did I do something?

"I don't get it. Does he not love me anymore? Did I do something wrong? He doesn't like my new body does he? He probably doesn't. Sometimes I wish I could of just died so I didn't have to cause him so much pain. He deserves so much better." Tears start to pour down my face. Huh? I'm not supposed to be able to cry in this body. I'm basically human, i can do everything humans do except, reproduce, cry but i guess i can cry now? I'm not supposed to be able to like eat either so at lunch i order coffee. I can drink liquids but after I have to make sure there compatible with my circuits, which are coffee, tea and water. Its all crazy to much. All confusing on how I work.

I can still feel the sensations as regular people do, like being upset, mad, jealous, etc. But am I still me? I'd like to believe so, but I don't feel like I used to. I feel more like a stranger every day.
