Rin pov
It had been a couple of weeks now since Asuna was put in the hospital. She has gotten discharged but hasn't been in class, so I let her be. I started to hang out with Yukio more and what I think were my feelings towards Asuna vanished. It was like they were never there. Right now I was laying down on the grass looking up at the sun. School had just finished and I was in a weird mood. I kept on looking back from when I first met Asuna to now. It's so different, like she was sent to complicate things in life. For once I was using my brain. "I wonder where she is right now?" I wondered out loud. The breeze was picking up now making my body shiver.
"Ahh, Rin there you are" A familiar sexy voice spoke out. Yukio. Probably here to send me home.
"Come on, lets go. Its getting cold and I don't want you to get a cold" He softly said.
Sighing, I got up. "Fine, I'm hungry anyway" I replied while walking.

Winter was coming. The days were getting shorter and colder. I snuggled into the warmth of the sofa. I didn't want to go back, not now. I was in the hidden house(?) my mum made for emergencies. No one knew about this place, not even my father. Guilt was what I was feeling for leaving Rin and the school that day. This had to be done, until I can wrap my head around things. I flopped my body on the rest of the sofa realising how tired I was. I curled myself into a ball to keep warm as I lost consciousness.

I sat down at my desk next to Yukio doing some homework. Well I say "doing", what I actually was actually doing staring at it. I must have done this for the past hour or so. My mind was going back to where Asuna was. Who knows what she's doing right now?
"Uhh Rin?" Yukio spoke out in a concerned tone. A blush painted my cheeks as I looked at his face.
"Y-yeah?" I stuttered trying to act natural and failing. I noticed a faint blush on his cheeks as well. Does he feel the same as me? I thought.
"You feeling ok, you haven't written anything for the past thirty minuets" His voice was a lot more controlled and soft then mine. His eyes showed wonder and something else I couldn't figure out.
"Yes!" I squeaked out, my whole body facing him. My hands were placed next to each other in the middle of the chair. Heat was rushing through my body.
"You sure, you're red," He leaned forwards, so close I could feel his breath on my face as he put his hand on my forehead ,"You're boiling to!" Yukio stated angrily. "you should go to bed, It looks like you might have a fever" Yukio suggested while leaning back in his chair. I only nodded in reply and quickly made my way into bed, facing away from my brother.
My whole body was on fire, no wonder he thought I had a fever! Thoughts were racing everywhere making my brain go crazy and confused. I'll never go to sleep at this rate. I mentally sighed. The sun was still out. Not by much though so I could get away with sleeping but I don't think that will happen anyway. Light shuffling was all that I heard from Yukio at the other side of the room. I shoved my body to the other side so I was facing the ceiling. I had cooled down now, luckily. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a frustrated Yukio muttering whatever. I couldn't be bothered to try and figure it out. I've never seen him like this. He's always been so calm and a straight think but right now he just looks messed up. Weird. What's made him act like this? Does he like someone? I hope it's me. I smiled at the thought as I watched my sexy but cute brother get irritated over something. If something like this ever happens, I told myself to let him be. Apparently, that's what everyone does.
My phone vibrated in my pocket. I had forgot that I left it in there. I took out. My eyes widened as I saw who it was that had texted me. Asuna. After all this time! Quickly I checked what she had texted.
Asuna: Hey, I'm not coming back for a while. I just wanted to tell you. I feel so guilty but I have to clear my mind so I can think better. Don't feel bad, after all. It's in the past. Let me know how things are going back there. I miss you. Not in that way! In a friend way!
I felt numb. She was leaving. For how long? Why? What's in the past? When she tried to kill herself? What!? I really do need sleep now. That's the problem I couldn't. My brain was trying to figure out everything. She always seemed like the traveler type but I didn't think she'd do this! I groaned as I rolled over forcing myself to sleep. That's what I needed. Right. I heard Yukio move from his chair to his bed and getting, probably doing the same thing. I stayed put. I didn't speak, just stayed put. Nothing else. It's nice like this, nothing to worry about at all.
Time past and I was still wide awake. I could hear Yukio's soft snores as he slept. Groaning, I made my way out of bed and picked up my phone. Just incase. The dorm was a different place at night. It felt so mysterious and lonely. It was weird. I made my way outside, big mistake. It was freezing. It was like summer had completely vanished, poofed away. I wrapped my arms around my frame to keep warm. Me being stupid, I carried on. Ever since that last attack it's been very peaceful. Almost too peaceful. I found a bench to sit on. Another big mistake, it was colder then outside!" What is this thing made of?" I muttered to myself. I stood up instead and checked my phone.
A.for.Asuna: It's so peaceful here. Great for when I need to clear my mind!
K.for.Kasumi:What's wrong? Do i need to beat someone up again.
T.for.Touka:You don't want to damage your report anymore then you have @ K.for.Kasumi
Y.for.Yuki: Yeah! @ K.for.Kasumi
K.for.Kasumi: It's not that damadged @ T.for.Touka and don't agree with everythng she says @ Y.for.Yuki
T.for.Touka: I give up on you @ K.for.Kasumi and Asuna are ok?
Y.for.Yuki: yeah, we haven't heared from you in ages.
K.for.Kasumi: They have a point.
A small smile formed on my lips as I read the comments. She sure does have great friends. The cold didn't bother me now. I was probably freezing but it doesn't fase me now. I was leaning against a large oak tree next to the evil bench. It felt like a movie. Footsteps came into my range of hearing. Turning my head to the left I saw a brown haired girl with headphones and some sort of school clothes. She looked at me as if she was examining me. Suddenly the unknown rushed up, her face dangorusly close to mine. What made this situation worse was that the small girl was on her tiptoes. This girl could fall on top of me at any moment. What is it and me meeting all these girls?
"Are you Rin okumera" The girl damanded. Her voice was stern as well as her angry face. Instead of speaking, I just nodded. This random stranger scared me. she leaned back away from my face. Not braking eyecontact and crossed her arms.
"What have you done to Asuna!" she damanded again. Who is she? I was so confused.
"Uh, who are you?" I questioned causously. She narrowed her eyes at me like I was a parasite.
"Answer my question first, then i'll tell you" Her voice was less demanding then before but still scary. It wasn't really a question but ok. I didn't dare make her any more angry then she already was.
"Nothing that I know of, sorry to disapoint you" I spoke back to her less causous then before. I seriously didn't know what I did.
"Don't give that crap, you broke her heart" Her voice was now more angry then demanding.
"I did?" I questoined myself aloud. Not the best idea.
"Yes! What else does she need to clear her head for!" The girl's voice wavered a bit as she spoke louder. Then I relised. She needed to clear her head when she got possessed by that demon. That would mess anyone up. Why didn't she tell this randomer? They clearly know each other.
"Oh, she didn't tell you" My voice was confident now. The stranger's facesal expression went from angry and determand to a mixture of that and hurt.
"Tell me what!" She was clearly upset from her wavering voice but did her best to stand her ground.
"Sorry, not my place to tell you" I admitted. It wasn't. I was about to walk away when I remembered something. "Oh, you never answered my question" I carelessly spoke to the already upset girl.
"Kasumi, meaning mist. I'm not bothered by formality so you can call me by my first name. One of Asuna's best friends" She spoke out like nothing happened, voice full of confidence. Now I was just a bit confused.
"Asuna has friends outside of school?" I questioned her confused. She now looked like the devil. One simple question set her off.
"Yes! doesn't everyone! Man you annoy me!" She yelled at me. I felt like a loner now. I had no friends outside of school. Kasumi must have picked up on this as she started to laugh a bit. "Man, you must be such a loser if you don't have ny friends outside of school" She giggled. I glared at her. Kasumi sighed after her miney laughing fit and started to speak again like she ruled the place, "Well I must be on my way. It was nice to meet you Rin" with that she put her headphones back on and strolled off.
cocky much. Why didn't Asuna tell me about her? There must be more from what she said in her introduction. Sighing I made my way back. That little acounter really made me tired.
I barelly made it back to my bed without passing out. Which I did as soon as I got there. One thing I do know for sure is that life is full of surprises.
