Hello, everyone. Let me bring you all to the world where Love Live and Cardfight Vanguard exist in one whole story. Hehehe. The story is majorly heading towards Kai Toshiki and Nishikino Maki. Therefore, I apologize if I have taken this too far.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. I OWN THE STORYLINE THO.

Enjoy :3

Chapter 1: The Beginning

"Maki~ Nee~ Are you listening~? Maki-chan!"

"Ehh- Sorry, I wasn't listening!"

"Did something happened?"

"No.. I'm just-"

"Daydreaming?"

She blushed, as red as a tomato, and looked down to her book.

"Anyways, we have training today-"

"Sorry, Nico, I have things to do! See you later!" She stood up from her seat and ran out of the clubroom.

"I wonder what happened..."

XxXxXxXx

Maki sat on the bench in a park, where the children were busy playing card games. 'I wonder what is that...'

"If you're wondering what the cards is, it's called Vanguard." A voice answered her thoughts, making her let out a small squeek. She turned around to give the person a lecture, but stopped as she stared into the cool green eyes of a brunet.

"Nishikino... Maki."

The brunet raise an eyebrow, but answered anyway. "Kai. Toshiki."

XxXxXxXx

It's been a few weeks they have talked with each other in the park. She was surprised to know that Kai had just returned from Europe and come back to Japan to meet his mates- friends. And despite his looks, he is few years older than her.

"Kai-san, is it okay for me to use your deck?" She took hold of Kai's deck, wondering if she should have played the game too.

"It's fine. I constructed it so that it's easy for you to use. Now just like what I taught you yesterday." He readied his cards on the table, waiting for Maki to ready her's.

"Ready?"

"Yes."

"Stand Up!"

"The"

"Vanguard!"

XxXxXxXx

She lost the fight multiple times, frustrated, but she couldn't stop. She wanted to win. She gets the same feeling like when she's practicing with the muse members.

"Let's stop here for today." Kai announced after the 20th fight of theirs. "The deck doesn't suits you."

"E-Ehh? You mean it's the deck's fault?"

"It's you fault for using the wrong card at the wrong time."

She flushed into red again, puffing her cheeks. "I'm just a beginner!"

Then the impossible thing happened. He smiled. At her.

"Why not coming along with me to the card shop?" His cool green eyes pierce her purple eyes, giving her a chill down her spine. "N-Now?"

"Of course tomorrow. I need rest." Kai stood up from his seat and put his deck and Maki's temporary deck in his pockets. "Meet me at the station. We will go there tomorrow. Nishikino."

"I-I will see what I can do! I can't promise!" She walked the opposite away, but as she turned around she heard "You better come." From Kai.

Frustrated of losing, she went home and mumbled some things about "Vanguard", "Beginner", "Royal Paladin".

XxXxXxXx

"She's late." Kai stared at his watch. Of course he is mad, he doesn't like people breaking promises. But yet he waits for her until lunch time, she appeared with a simple dress and pair of sunglasses. "What are you, celebrity?"

"I'm a girl. Girl likes to dress up nicely."

"Took you hours to get here."

"I was practicing for our next event. And besides-" She walked into the train leaving Kai outside. "You coming in or not?" She giggled, thought that Kai would be unpleasant. Instead, he gave her a wrecked up smile.

"Oh really? You got into the wrong train."

The door closed. Maki is inside. The train.

Alone.

XxXxXxXx

"Stop sulking, Nishikino."

"Not helping, Kai-san."

She was lucky that the next stop was also the stop of the train that she was supposed to be in with Kai. She waited for the next train and almost cried when she found Kai is inside the train.

Kai let out a deep sigh, and handed her a pocket tissue. "Clean your face, Nishikino. Your not making me the guy who made you cry when we reach the shop later."

"I will do that!" She stood up from her seat, earning some stares from the other passengers. Ashamed, she used her bag to cover her face.

"Wipe it off." Kai waved the pocket tissue in front of her. Reluctantly, she used it.

"We're here." Kai offered his arm to Maki. Earning a look from Maki. "You're not going to miss the station, are you?"

Maki can't help it, she can be a little bit lost sometimes, so she just pinch his blue jacket and walked to the shop with him. Letting go, she entered the shop and Kai- disappeared from her sight.

"KAI! YOU'RE BACK!" A male with yellowish hair grabbed his shoulder and tossed himself on Kai, but Kai reflected and the person fall down on the floor. "Still cold as ever."

"Nishikino. Here." Kai called Maki to sit opposite him, while the male whining at Kai, wanting help from him. "Yes, Miwa." He sighed and pulled him up.

"I see you have a girlfriend, Kai! You never told me!"

"I am not his girlfriend!"

"She is not my girlfriend."

Both spoke in unison.

"Pheww, much wow. Anyway, I'm Miwa Taishi." He hold out his hand to Maki, waiting for a handshake.

"Nishikino Maki." she replied the handshake.

"Where's Aichi?" Kai spoke at last, while eyes searching the shop.

"He will be here soon. Why, missed him already?" Miwa teased him, but it doesn't seem to bother him.

"Yes, I miss fighting with him. His growing stronger day by day." A smile spread across his face.

"Good afternoon, everyone!" A cheerful voice coming from the door. Maki turned to look at the person, only to see a cute girl wearing male clothes, just like Rin.

"Aichi."

"Kai-kun."

They both stared at each other for a while and started smiling. Maki was surprise to see him smile so much with her. 'A special person'. She can't help but smile at the sight.

XxXxXxXx

"So you want to help Nishikino-san to build a deck, Kai-kun?" Aichi sat next to Maki, while Miwa sat next to Kai.

"Yes, but I tried to let her use Royal Paladin, Kagero and Narukami, but it doesn't show her full strength."

"I'm sorry but I'm not sure if I will want to play the game..." Maki cut off their conversation, the need is there. She have a lot of things to concentrate on. Her club, Muse activities, her school, her family.

"It's ok, Nishikino-san, you can keep it with you and play with us anytime." Aichi replied her, giving her a warm friendly smile.

Unable to turn down the offer, she finally said yes.

"How about Nee-san's deck?" Miwa suggested.

"Oracle Think Tank?"

"No, the other one."

"Genesis."

"What do you think, Nishikino-san?"

"Genesis... I'm interested."

I know it looks weird for a music lover character to actually play Vanguard but... I just can't! I live this pairing a lot /
