Anddd look who's back? Heh heh, for once this story is not complete yet so I'll have to keep you guys waiting if you want to read the rest. Let's see... no real warnings yet, but I'll tag them when they come up. This is a fem!Kai fic. Pairings... a little of RenxKai, a little of AiKai, some OCxKai but mostly MiwaxKai because I ship them like FedEx.

Disclaimers: I don't own anything other than the idea and the OC that will appear eventually.

Read and Review!


Miwa walked down the alley that led to Jun's hideout. He hadn't seen Kai around Card Capital so he could only guess that she had decided to go to the Underground fighters in search of a challenge. Sure enough, when he turned the corner, he found his best friend, currently fighting Jun. He watched from behind the cage—he had had enough of that motion figure system thank you— and cheered when Kai won the fight. He made his way over to her. But something was off. It looked like Kai and Jun were arguing.

"Come on Kai-chan, think about it, please," Jun begged. Kai turned her head to the side in disdain.

"I told you, for the millionth time, no, Jun," Kai answered. Jun seemed upset and that was when Miwa decided to make himself known. He slung his arm over Kai's shoulders.

"What's going on guys?" he asked. Since he was focused on Jun, he didn't notice Kai's blush.

"Miwa?!" she cried, clearly surprised by his presence. "What are you doing here?" Jun silently watched the two. Kai had started blushing once Miwa had gotten here. Aha. So that was why she rejected him. Jun turned his back on the two Hitsue students and waved.

"Forget it, Kai-chan. I know why now. Good luck!" he laughed as he walked away. Kai's blush darkened as she called after him.

"Stupid Jun! You don't know what you're talking about!" Miwa watched the pair in confusion. What were they talking about? Nevertheless, Miwa began to walk Kai back to the card shop.

"You know I don't like it when you go there, right?" Miwa asked softly. Kai simply pouted.

"It's my business where I go and who I hang out with, not yours," she retorted. But deep down, she was happy that Miwa was worried about her. It meant that he cared. On the other hand, Miwa sighed in exasperation. Same old Kai. He decided to change the topic.

"So what were you and Jun arguing about?" he questioned innocently. He hadn't been expecting Kai to blush and move away from him. The blond held up his hands so that his palms faced the brunette.

"Sorry, sorry. I won't ask anymore," he said, hoping to patch up the hole he had just made. He watched as Kai sighed but quietly answered his question.


"He wanted me to go on a date with him." It took all Miwa had to not make his jaw hit the floor. Jun wanted Kai to go out with him?! Well, it wasn't like Kai wasn't attractive or anything, in fact far from it, but he hadn't been expecting that at all. Miwa would never breathe a word to anyone but he had a crush on his best friend. He hadn't been able to believe it when Kai came back after moving away but she had been there, right in front of his very eyes, looking absolutely stunning. She had grown her brown hair out; it now stopped at the middle of her back. Her teal eyes were sharper than ever; the beautiful colour made Miwa want to drown in them. She was taller than he had expected, the top of her head reaching his eyes. She wore the blue Hitsue uniform and Miwa would never say this out loud, but the uniform really accentuated her figure. He never realised just how short the school skirt was until he saw Kai wear it. His childhood friend had grown into a woman and Miwa couldn't help but notice it every minute of his life. He inched closer towards the brunette, unconsciously acting a bit more possessive than usual.

"You turned him down? How come?" he asked, silently happy that she had done so. Kai's blushed darkened. How could Miwa ask something like that? Kai had never said it out loud, and probably never would, but she liked her best friend more than she should. She remembered coming back to Hitsue City and seeing Miwa again for the first time in years. His blond hair had made him really stand out and the cheerful blond was exactly how she remembered him. Maybe it was his upbeat personality that drew her in or maybe it was his dazzling smile but before Kai knew it, she had fallen head over heels in love with the boy. Shaking her head and bringing her thoughts back to the present, she was reluctant to answer but she thought it over again. This could be a chance to hint to Miwa that she liked him. She blushed and coughed lightly but mumbled,

"Because I like somebody else."


Miwa felt his stomach lurch. Kai liked someone? Who was it? His heart was breaking because he knew it definitely wasn't him. Kai probably liked an extremely strong cardfighter like Ren or Aichi. He didn't want Kai to know he was upset though. He managed a nervous laugh.

"Who's the lucky guy, Kai?" he asked. Kai frowned. She had been hoping that Miwa would take a hint and ask her out. But his lack of reaction just proved that her love for him was unrequited. She swallowed the urge to cry.

"Not telling," she muttered softly, but loud enough for Miwa to hear. The two continued their walk back to Card Capital in silence, both of them feeling heartbroken over the other not liking them. When the two arrived, they were surprised to see the shop crowded with more people than usual. The two made their way inside to find Ren in the middle of the shop, children crowding around him. The redhead was cheerily answering any and all questions the children threw at him. After all, it wasn't everyday that you got to talk to a former national champion and a member of Team NAL4. Ren looked up as if noticing the new presences. Immediately, the look on his face brightened as he apologised to the kids and came over to greet the two Hitsue students.


"Yo, Kai-chan, Miwa-kun," he said cheerily. Miwa smiled and returned the greeting while Kai furrowed her brow.

"Ren, I told you not to call me 'Kai-chan'," she pouted. Ren just smiled and poked her cheek. For the umpteenth time that day, Kai turned beet red and backed away, clutching her cheek.

"R-R-Ren?!" she asked, bewildered at her team mate. Miwa felt his stomach turn. He was right. Kai probably liked Ren. He sighed. But he didn't notice Ren catch him sighing. A tiny grin appeared on his face as he dragged the still blushing brunette to a secluded corner of the shop.

"R-Ren what are you doing," the brunette stammered. Ren stifled a laugh and ignored her question.

"Kai-chan, you like Miwa-kun, don't you?" he asked teasingly. If possible, Kai turned even redder than she already was. She frantically denied having any feelings of that sort even though Ren smiled knowingly. In the end, she ended up staring at the ground and admitting to her crush on the blond. Ren smiled cheerily.

"Great! Now that I've made sure of that, I have a plan for you to get together with Miwa-kun, since it's obvious that he likes you too!" Kai made indignant spluttering noises since she couldn't bring herself to believe that her best friend harboured feelings for her. Ren leaned in closer to her.

"Shall I prove it?"


That's all for Chapter 1! Not sure when the next one will come out. It's a fairly short fic from what I'm imagining. Until next time!
