Aichi was walking to Card Captial. As the automatic doors in front of him opened, Aichi examined the sight before him. All of his friends here, except for some people like Ren or Leon or Koutei or people like that.

"Hello!" Aichi took a seat on one of the chairs beside the empty tables. Kai moved to join him.

"Aww, Aichi, you took your boyfriend away from me!" Miwa teased, looking at Kai, who gave him an angry glare.

Boyfriend?! Aichi felt his cheeks flushing. As he opened his mouth to object, he heard the doors open and Emi come in.

"Aichi! I got some bad news!" Emi panted.

"What is it Emi?" Aichi said, his attention diverted.

"Dad's coming back!" Emi cried, and Aichi's eyes widened with disbelief, shock, and fear.

"Dad? Surely, that's a good thing?" Miwa asked curiously

Both of the siblings shook their heads. "You wouldn't understand." They said in unison.

"Why is he such a bad sign?" Kai asked, startling Aichi.

Aichi turned around, still looking shocked at the news. "Because he's very abusive. When I was younger, he was responsible for half of my injuries, although I decided not to tell you that." Kai widened his eyes.

"Then why didn't you call the cops?" Kamui inquired, walking to their table.

"We were all scared what would happen if we did. It was likely Aichi and I would get beat up even more and our mother devastated." Emi replied "In the end, our mom divorced our dad, and our dad moved away. We were safe for a long time, but he decided to visit."

"We always knew it would happen." Aichi added. "If he knows I play vanguard, he'll probably beat me up and laugh at me for thriving on such a kids game." Aichi glanced at Kai, who showed no emotion in his face, but his eyes were burning with rage at this.

"Why don't you show your dad a lesson?" Kamui said "Show him how you've grown!"

"I've grown, but not in physical matters." He glanced down. "It's gonna be like old times."

Misaki made a noise of sympathy. Her parents were dead, but as ashamed she was to admit this, she would rather have her parents dead than have them alive and beating her up. Then she closed her book, the noise startling Aichi, and she looked him in the eye. "Just remember you have all of our support. Call us and we'll come help you." The rest of Aichi's friends nodded their approval.

"Support eh? Aichi finally has friends? And they think they can go against me?" said a mysterious voice. They turned around. Aichi could feel the hairs on his neck standing up, eyes widening in fear as he recognized the voice.

It was their dad.
