The last thing kirito should be doing is offering sympathy for his selfish murderous actions.... as for there second meeting which came some time after, that too should bring up bad blood since his sudden presence would make it seem like he escaped punishment for what he did; his return should bring back a wealth of bad memories that you had finally manage to push aside
Too be fair... Asuna literally threw herself on his sword for that one. And the implication there is that Kayaba spared her from getting brain fried anyway.

And you seem to be forgetting the other thing going through Kirito's mind then, beyond his (presumed) impending death - He had just won. 4000 people died in the past, but 6000 were set to wake up and be free. Let the guy bask in his victory.

Edit: And what bad memories do you really think are haunting Kirito anyway? His lowest point was Sachi's death, and like I said, he blames himself, not Kayaba. Being forced to kill Kuradeel... Kayaba doesn't have much to do with that either. Or maybe the memories of his time napping on the grass with Asuna, or his honeymoon, or the time he enjoyed with Lizbeth and Silica?
