A/N: Uwah! My first prompt! And it is by Cocopop55! Thanks for requesting! I wasn't sure if I would get any and got so excited the whole night I couldn't really sleep! *hugs* So this is supposed to be based on the Asia Circuit episode where Misaki was against a guy from Team Divination in Singapore. Remember him? After some research, I found out his name is Horoscope. He uses OTT just like her and he said that after that fight she would fall for him. Well, this is set on what happens after that. Since this is in season 2, please try to imagine their clothing because I don't really like to explain it in detail… So here it is!

Jealousy

"Humph."

Lately, it would seem that this is Kai Toshiki's reaction to almost everything. He just came back from training in the snowy mountains and one would think that after such a long flight, he would be irritated and tired. Yes, he was irritated and yes he was tired. But that wasn't enough to stop him from rushing to Card Capital as soon as he touched down on Japan.

What made him so irritated? The reason was simple: Tokura Misaki. He was at his hotel lodge at the moment when Team Q4 were up against a certain team called Team Divination and when he saw how one of the members interacted with her through the television set, he had been in a foul mood.

"It's alright. She rejected him, remember? Why should I be feeling so uneasy?" He kept reminding himself.

That somehow wasn't enough to quell his rage. It made Kai realize something that he had been trying to ignore this whole time. He actually cares for her as more than a team mate. He sighed to himself as he continued walking towards the path to the card shop.

"What am I even doing? It shouldn't be a problem to me. It has nothing to do with me."

He reached the shop just when he remembered why he was ignoring his feelings in the first place. He believed that the people he is close to will eventually get into trouble and leave him. Therefore he built a barrier around himself. Unknowingly, she had slipped past the barrier but he pretended that she was nothing more than a friend. He stood outside the doors, unable to proceed inside. This was harder than he thought it would be.

"I just need to calm myself down for a second here."

He could feel his heart racing. He dumped his bag he carried behind his shoulders onto the bench next to the shop. He sat down and started to take in a few deep breaths to clear his mind. What was he trying to achieve by coming here anyway? Did he just want closure on this matter? Was he just going to ask her if she did really fall for a jerk like that?

"Meow." The grey cat from the shop sat down next to him on the bench.

It looked up at Kai with an inquisitive expression. It was as if it was asking him if he was alright. The cat startled him a little but it did bring him back to reality. He scratched behind the cat's ears, making it purr as it curled up closer to him for easier access. He sighed again. He's been doing that a lot these days.

"Oh, so you're back?"

His stomach did a backflip once he heard her voice. He turned to his right and sure enough, there was Misaki. She came out of the staff exit with a bowl of cat food in one hand. She looked surprised but her expression changed to one with a gentle smile, one that she hardly gives. Kai found it hard to breathe.

"Yeah, I just got off the plane." He responded. He looked back to the cat and started scratching the belly this time, which the cat was happy to oblige.

"I see." She replied.

"That's just so her style…" He thought.

She put the bowl of cat food on the ground before sitting next to the cat, that was sprawled on its' back to expose the belly for Kai to scratch. The only thing which could be heard was the soft purrs from the grey feline. This silence was something that he was used to and was in fact comforting to him. He wasn't one who spoke unnecessarily and she was the same after all. This time however, he did feel the need to just drill all the answers to the questions in his mind. He needs to regain his peace of mind before he loses his sanity.

"I saw your matches on TV." He started.

"Oh." She sounded disappointed.

"You seem distracted, not like you at all."

"I've been having some troubles with my deck. But I'm sure I can figure out a strategy." Her tone of voice didn't really reflect her words though.

"Well, I have faith in you." He replied. She turned to face him as if expecting him to burst out laughing at her failure. He smiled to reassure her that he meant what he said.

"Th-thank you…" She mumbled. He could see a hint of pink on her face before she quickly turned around to face the other side. His heart skipped a beat.

"So I was actually wondering about the guy who you were up against during the second round." He finally asked.

"You mean Horoscope-kun?" A little red vein throbbed at the side of his head at the sound of his name. What got him more worked up was the way she added the 'kun' behind his name.

"Yeah." He replied.

"What about him?"

"Well, he seems to be interested in you. What happened to him after the match?" Kai inquired. As if on cue, her phone started to ring. She took it out from her jacket pocket and a frown appeared on her forehead. She sighed before pushing the green button to accept the call.

"Hello, Horoscope-kun?" She started. Kai stopped scratching the cat's belly instantly at the sound of the name. He inched closer to try and eavesdrop on their conversation even though he couldn't hear anything from the other side of the call. The cat looked disappointed but jumped off the bench to eat the food on the ground.

"Yes… I'm fine. I told you not to call me for no particular reason, didn't I?" She continued as she massaged her temples with her left hand. Before she knew it, the phone snatched out of her hand. She turned around to see Kai holding her phone to his ear.

"Hey!" She was surprised but he held out his hand to stop her from talking.

"But I miss you Misaki-chan! I know you miss me too… Let's go on a date!" Horoscope could be heard from the other end of the line and this irked Kai so much that words couldn't even describe it.

"She would not go on a date with you because she has a boyfriend, whom you are speaking to right now. So please stop calling or texting or whatever it is you do before I hunt you down."

Kai disconnected the call right after the threat. His breathing was labored, as if he had been running for miles even though he has just been sitting there. When he remembered that Misaki was sitting next to him, he quickly turned around and saw her looking at him with her blue eyes. He felt chills down his spine.

"What have I done?" He repeated in his head.

"What did you do that for?" She asked in her angry tone.

"I was just helping you out." He replied. He looked away from her as he couldn't face her judgmental gaze.

"No, you weren't. You were lying to him because you think I can't fight for myself."

"I never once thought that you couldn't fight for yourself. And, just so you know, that lie could be a reality."

She opened her mouth to retort about how he was thinking she wasn't strong enough to even fend off the guy who was bothering her since the Singapore circuit but froze when she processed his last sentence. There was silence again and this time it was slightly awkward. Blood rushed to her cheeks the more she thought about what he meant.

"Well? What's your answer? Do you want it to be a reality?" He was unable to look at her the whole time he spoke.

"Th-that is a weird confession ok? Are you even serious about this?" She questioned.

"I'm a straightforward person."

"Fine, so that is no longer a lie."

"Good, I don't want him to call me a liar." He responded.

The wind started to pick up and brought a cool breeze. There was silence again but it was clouding the mutual understanding between the both of them. He finally felt like he found his peace of mind again now that the creep was taken care of. The suffocating feeling he had these past few days was finally gone.

"I should get back to work now. Could I have my phone back?" She said. That was when he realized that he was still holding onto her phone. He handed it over to her, still unable to look her directly into her eyes as he realized how dumb his confession must have sounded.

"You should go home and rest. It must be tiring for you to come right after you land in Japan." She muttered.

"Ah." He said in agreement.

She stood up and picked up the now empty cat food bowl from the ground before leaning in and kissing Kai on his cheek. He was taken by surprise but turned to watch just as she ran off back into the shop. He smiled and picked up his bag before swinging it over his shoulder and heading home for some well-deserved rest.
