His eyes flickered open. Slowly, he scanned the surroundings. 'Where am I?' He thought. Memory of what had just happened flashed through his mind...
"Final turn!" Kai proclaimed confidently. A wide menacing grin spread across his face. Aichi flinched. 'Is this where it ends?' He glanced down at his hand. The card left in his hand, is non other than blaster blade, the card the brought light in his life. However, now, it was the cause of what was happening. He looked up. Kai's face darkened as he stared at Aichi. His eyes pierced through those large blue eyes. Aichi quickly adverted his eyes. 'You are my only hope-blaster blade' he thought.
"Get ready Aichi, I'll show you how strong I am. No one, not even Ren or Leon can win me! Not even you Aichi..." Hissed Kai. "You will become mine."
A cold chill ran down is spine as he stared to shiver. He had to save Kai. Yet he couldn't do anything. He could only shiver in fear and hope for the best.
"3000 attack power! I attack your vanguard!"
Aichi panicked. 'Oh no. I've got not enough power to guard... I've already drew a few heal triggers. Will I get another one?' He prayed and reached for his deck. He knew he had to face reality.
"No trigger..."
"Hahahahahaha..." Laughed Kai. No doubt that he was rejoicing his victory.
At that moment, a sharp pain went through Aichi. Everything blurred. He felt choked and drained of all energy. Gripping around and gasping for air, he fell to the ground. He wheezed and clutched his chest. Seconds felt like hours. Minutes felt like days. Soon after, he blacked out...
"A kitchen... A toilet... A table and chair... Closet and side table with drawers. And a king sized bed which I'm sitting on..." Aichi mumbled to himself. Basically, those were the things in the room. 'Its a pretty normal room...' He thought. 'I wonder why the stairs to the door is leading upwards?'
Aichi leaned forward, wanting to explore more of the room. Then, he felt resistance against his wrists. Clack! He reeled his head around.
"Eh?" His eyes widened in horror of the sight in front of him. There were chains around the back railings of the bed and his hands was handcuffed to it. The chains went around the handcuffs and up his arms. Aichi swallowed hard as he tugged his arms again. Nothing happened. He tried again. Then again. Over and over again. He twisted his arms and tried to pull himself out. But his efforts were to no avail.
He was aware that he couldn't break free by himself, so he had to wait for rescue.
The sound of the door opening reached his ears. Aichi perked up immediately. He tried his best to peer to the door, but it was around the corner, he could not see it. Once he saw less than half of the man walking in, he already knew who it was. It was no one other that Kai Toshigi.
"Kai-kun!" Aichi exclaimed in delight. Kai turned over ominously. "Good morning Aichi," he said as he walked over in a poised manner. "Are you feeling better?"
Feeling something wrong, Aichi did not dare to reply. He looked down at the bed and said nothing.
Kai sat down beside him. "Aichi?
'Something is really wrong.'
"Is there something wrong?"
'Kai-kun is acting a bit weird.'
"If there is anything, you can tell me." Kai leaned forward and close to Aichi. His eyes not leaving him for even a second. As if he never even blinked.
A sea of questions went through his mind.'Why hasn't he realized the chains? What's going on? Why is he leaning so close to me? Didn't he want to annihilate me last night?'
Seeing Kai not moving, he decided to say something. "Ummm... Kai-kun?" "Yeah?" He closed up upon Aichi again. Giving him lesser space to move, lesser space to escape.
"Umm... Kai-kun, where are we?" Aichi fidgeted.
"A basement hotel."
'is there even such things?'
"Why?"
"I booked this room for us."
"..." His eyes darted around wildly as he thought of how to phrase his next question.
"Why am I chained up?" Aichi swallowed as he wait for the answer. There was a moment of silence before Kai answered.
"Because I love you. You are not running away tonight." He stated. "You will never run away from me. Never again."
Before Aichi could reply, he pressed his lips against him. "Un... Kai-kun...?" Aichi said as Kai released him. Aichi was lost. He did not know what was happening anymore. His eyes were still fixed onto Kai.
Kai glanced down at Aichi's arms and noticed the red marks on it, the visible marks were caused by the attempts of escapes, and Kai was aware of it. 'I will keep you forever, Aichi. Nothing will separate us ever again'
