Ok I probably should've been working on something else but I wrote this during Link Joker hen and I just recently finished it so why not?

A Cardfight! Vanguard fic
"Blaster Blade! Help free Kai-kun from that Reversed spell!" Aichi shouted as his avatar attacked Dragonic Overlord the Яebirth. The dragon gripped its heart in pain, as it began to stagger. Kai grit his teeth as he flipped over the top card of his deck, praying for a heal trigger to get him out of defeat. Sadly, there wasn't one. The majestic flame dragon began fading away, as Kai gripped the sides of the holographic table, cursing.
"Why?! Why did I lose even after receiving that power?!" he screamed, right before the unЯeversing process started. His cries of agony were not unheard by the people below.
"Kai!" Miwa shouted in concern. Shingo and Naoki both looked to each other.
"Get going!" Naoki said. "He's your best friend. He'll probably want to see you."
"That's right! Things are fine here, everyone's back to normal now. Go check on your friend!" Shingo encouraged. Nodding in gratitude, Miwa took off for the building's top floor.
Back on the roof, Aichi was hesitant to go near Kai. Yes, he was getting unЯeversed, but it was taking longer than usual and the murky aura surrounding the brunet was getting angrier instead of fading. Choosing to stand at a safe distance, the boy activated his Psyqualia.
Inside Kai's mind, he saw a mass of swirling dark energy. Chained up in the middle of it all was Kai himself. Hovering closer, Aichi's blue aura did not go unnoticed. The dark energy hissed as it recoiled away, further and further from the boy. Aichi wasn't about to let it go that easily. Reaching forward, he managed to skim the surface of the energy. That proved to be enough. Dissolving away, the aura tried to inch closer to its captive, but ultimately failed. Maneuvering himself so that he was in front of Kai, Aichi gently lifted Kai's face up to his own.
"Kai-kun," he called.
Who's there? Someone's calling me…
Kai-kun!
Aichi?
Lifeless green eyes opened slowly, meeting warm blue ones. Glancing around slowly and confusedly, the brunet mumbled,
"Ai…chi?" Upon hearing his name cross his idol's lips, Aichi hugged the trapped boy tightly.
"Kai-kun! Kai-kun!" he repeated over and over, too ecstatic at having his friend back to say anything else. The brunet in question weakly tugged at his bonds, trying to return the hug. Noticing Kai's struggle, Aichi tried touching the chains. Maybe he could break them somehow. Sure enough, once in contact with the blue aura surrounding the Miyaji captain, the chains broke and faded away. Slumping forward, Kai could do nothing but let the bluenet catch him, whispering a faint, "Thank you," before losing consciousness completely. Glowing brighter as he exited Kai's mind, Aichi said softly to the sleeping brunet, "Welcome home."
Miwa reached the top of the roof, panting from rushing. Throwing open the door, he prepared himself for the worst. The first thing he noticed was that Ren Suzugamori was just sitting on the ground, watching something. As he looked up to see what is was, his gaze softened. Walking up to Aichi, he sat down next to the boy.
"Is he alright?" he asked, gesturing to the figure Aichi had in his arms.
"I don't know, Miwa-kun. He was Яeversed the longest out of all of us. He's probably exhausted, we should let him rest," he responded. They both heard footsteps and looked up to see Ren walking towards them.
"We should probably get him home or maybe his room at Foo Fighter HQ," the redhead suggested. The two nodded and draped Kai's arms around Miwa and Ren's shoulders. Aichi walked ahead, opening doors if they weren't automatic. When they all got outside, they were greeted by their friends. Some threw their arms around Aichi, tackling him into a hug, relieved that he was alive and well. Others stood by, smiling at the group. All seemed well.
Having bid their farewells earlier on, Aichi, Miwa and Ren carried Kai into the headquarters, with Asaka and Tetsu following. Suiko had been long gone. She left with Rekka and Kourin when they decided to try and find their old memories. All of them climbed into the elevator, with Asaka and Tetsu getting off before any of the others. When they finally reached their desired floor, Miwa and Ren cautiously carried Kai out while Aichi held the door.
Kai's floor was nothing extravagant; daily necessities along with the occasional book lying about. It was neat and orderly, just as one would expect it to be. Laying the weakened brunet on his bed, Miwa, Ren and Aichi took the elevator back downstairs.
"I'll look after him," Ren promised. "If anything happens, you two will be the first to know."
"Thank you, Ren-san," Aichi thanked as he turned around and walked out. Miwa did likewise. As the two of them walked back to their respective houses, one thought crossed their minds.
"Please be ok, Kai(-kun)."
A week later and Kai still hadn't woken up. He was visited everyday by Miwa and Aichi, both of which told him about what he was missing. Each visit was ended with a plea for the brunet to wake up. It was when Aichi visited Kai again later that day, that he began to show signs of waking up; fingers curling and uncurling or the occasional twitch of an eyebrow. Hurriedly, he called for Ren, who rushed in quickly. The two encouraged Kai to open his eyes, and when he did, the emerald orbs looked around in confusion
"Ren? Aichi? Where am I?" he asked. Wiping away tears of joy, Aichi answered,
"You're in your room at Foo Fighter HQ. How are you feeling, Kai-kun?" Rolling his shoulders a bit, Kai answered,
"I feel kind of tired and weak. What happened? The last thing I remember was meeting with Tatsunagi Takuto." At this, both males averted their gaze. Eyes narrowing in suspicion, he repeated his question. Luckily, the two boys were saved by the timely arrival of Miwa.
"Kai! You're ok! How are you feeling?" he asked. Shrugging again, the brunet repeated his previous answer. "That's reasonable. You'll get back your strength in due time. You've missed a lot of stuff at school, you know! The club needs you too!" Miwa said, trying to bring the atmosphere back to a positive note. However, all three of the brunet's best friends were shocked when they heard him ask his next question.
"What club?" Utter silence followed after that. Hesitantly, Aichi answered,
"Your Vanguard club, Kai-kun. With Morikawa-kun, Izaki-kun, Kamui-kun and Miwa-kun." Eyebrows furrowing, Kai asked,
"What's Vanguard?" Miwa's jaw dropped. Ren backed up until he hit the wall. Aichi just stood there, absolutely in shock. Miwa was the first to recover.
"Kai…" he said carefully, "You don't remember what Vanguard is?" Receiving a shake of his head as an answer, Miwa closed his mouth.
"Well then," Ren said suddenly. "This is a problem."
Chapter 2 and 3 are coming up soon.
