Not long ago…

Team Q4 succeeds in winning the VF Circuit in Japan by defeating Team Unknown. It turns out VF Circuit is actually a way for Takuto Tatsunagi to save Planet Cray from destruction, he was trying to find a leader who can save Cray. The four winning team was taken to Cray.

Unexpectedly, it was Leon Souryu who made a contract with Void in order to revive the legendary clan Aqua Force. Leon wanted to get Aqua Force into its former glory but the other leaders of the winning team won't let him do as he pleases. Aichi has just beaten Christopher Lo who was under the influence of Psyqualia.

In the mean time, Kai is struggling to face Leon with his Narukami deck. Pity he lost and was sent back to earth. Everything now rest in Aichi's shoulder.

In this final stage, Aichi regain strength to stand up with his avatar, Blaster Blade Spirit who helps him fight off Leon. Finally, Aichi won and saved the day.

With this, Team Q4 was declared as the winner of the VF Circuit.

Two weeks after the circuit…

"Hey! Everyone! We receive a vacation voucher to a Mountain Resort!" Shin yelled happily in Card Capital.

The atmosphere in Card Capital has already quiet down, so Shin won't actually bother anyone with his shouting. Except the other worker and regular customer who stays until late (Misaki and Kamui. Aichi has homework to finish while Morikawa and Izaki is busy doing…something)

"Really? Awesome! OH YEAH!" Kamui cheered and pumped his fist.

"Shin san. How many people are invited to this vacation?" Misaki interrupted.

"Hmm… I think… err-6 people?" Shin answered his nephew.

"6? Then it's going to be Aichi onii-san, Misaki san, Manager, Miwa san, and of course, The Great Kamui sama!" Kamui has always been passionate in everything he does.

"Isn't that 5 people, Kamui kun? Remember, we need 6" Shin counted once more just to make sure he's not wrong.

"Kai" Misaki answered shortly but clearly.

"KAI?! No, no, no! He'll just ruin the mood!" Kamui was fuming when he thought how Kai will react with this information. Hn, if you insist. That's what he will probably say. He needs to lighten up!

"But we need 6 peoples and Kai is the perfect candidate for it. Besides, he's a former Q4 member so there's no wrong in that" Shin explained patiently to Kamui, but he certainly won't be accepting 'no' for an answer.

After lots of reasoning, pleading and bribing, Kamui finally agrees. Misaki can only sigh at the sight of a grown man and a 12 years old child arguing. Well, at least the case is solved.

After many preparations have been prepared carefully, the invited people are ready to go. As usual, Shin can't remember where he puts the things. Fortunately, Misaki is there and ready to remember anything Shin might have forgotten.

"All of you are so kind to invite me… But is it really okay? After all I'm not a Q4 member" Miwa was a bit hessitant despite his usual confidence.

"I'm sure it's fine. Since Miwa san often helped to take care of the store" Aichi answered for him.

Since they are heading towards cold place, their suitcases are full of warm clothes. It hasn't been even 5 minutes and Kamui is already arguing with Kai about their seating.

"Everybody… We'll be changing transportation later so please take care of your belongings!" Shin reminded "We're going to get a bus after"

Of course, no one manage to hear Shin except Misaki because Kamui is still arguing over the seat that Kai has already claimed. Kamui wishes to sit beside his nii-san and that place has to be beside the window. Miwa offered to sit beside Kai so Aichi can get the middle, good thing Kamui calmed down and accepted it.

In the middle of the journey

"Umm… Minna-san, I want to give you guys some souvenirs. I asked Mom and Emi to make this knitted scarf for everything you've done for me as a thank you gift." Aichi took out the scarfs.

Kamui curiously checked Aichi's bag which has quite a number of scarfs. Aichi handed the orange one for Kamui "Nii san, you're so kind! Thank you!" Kamui wore the scarf in the instant

"The purple one is for Misaki san" Misaki smiled at the gift and wore it too. "Thank you" She said softly.

"The manager's is green, Miwa san's red and Kai kun's is black" Aichi handed it over. At first, Kai seems to inspect the scarf as if considering it, but then he uses it. Aichi is very happy until…

"If I was you, I wouldn't even remember getting these for you guys" Miwa elbowed Kai sharply over his harsh words. As if getting stabbed to the heart, Aichi bowed his head down low from the hurt he felt. "Just WHAT the hell is wrong with you?!"

Kamui was so going to punch him for it but Misaki caught his hand and shook her head. So he decide to yell angrily "Can't you consider Aichi onii-san's feeling even a bit? Are you that heartless?!" Kamui growled at him accusingly.

I wouldn't even remember

Those words repeated itself in Aichi's head, he looks so empty as if he's unconscious. "Aichi?" Misaki was worried because Aichi isn't usually this depressed, but when she thinks about what Kai has said to him, she was sure that it hurt Aichi a lot.

"…" Aichi kept perfectly quiet after that.

Their journey was continued with an awkward and depressing air. Ever since Kai's words, everyone kept their mouth completely shut. Even Kamui doesn't even dare utter a single syllable with his onii-san's expression like that. It hurts to see him like that, Aichi is gentle and kind, he doesn't deserve to be treated like that. He wanted so much to just hit Kai but it would only made things worse for his onii-san, and Kamui will definitely avoid that.

The mood doesn't lighten even an inch, which got Shin very nervous and distracted. "Misaki… Misaki…" He whispers quietly. Misaki heard it and asked him what's wrong "Please get the mood to lighten up, it's too depressing! We're going on a vacation for sake!"

"There's nothing I can do. Not after all that" Misaki apologized and returned to her seat.

*CRASH*

The car hit a tree. "What's going on?" Kamui got up from his seat to check the situation. "We crashed" Misaki deadpanned. "I know that! I mean what happened and what is the car's condition?"

"Err… Sorry. But the car won't move. We'll have to walk, the transport change is not far from here... But we can rest for a moment" Shin checked the car for further damage.

"What happened, Manager?" Miwa sat up from his seat "I'm sorry once more. I got distracted by the sudden change of mood and… You know the rest"

The bus's residents have no choice but to get out for the moment. Aichi choose to sit down on a bench not far from the bus and sigh slowly. He was expecting someone to come and cheer him up but it still surprises him when Misaki gave him a cup of hot chocolate "Thank you, Misaki san" He muttered as he sip his chocolate.

Misaki handed the others their hot chocolates too, even Kai, but that didn't mean she didn't give him a glare while doing so. Kamui practically gulped the whole chocolate down because of the cold and yelled when he felt the burn "That's why you don't gulp down hot chocolate in one sip, Kamui kun" Shin patted Kamui's back while he's coughing. Then he handed a cup of normal water to calm his nerves.

Things were actually going around peacefully while they rest for a moment after the crash. Aichi is already feeling well enough to start chatting casually to Kamui who is very relieved. Sadly, trouble decides to sneak in to disrupt the peace.

*Crack…crack*

Exactly that moment, Aichi whipped his head up to see what made that noise. He was horrified when he saw it was the tree that they crashed a moment ago and Kai was right below it. God, please let me be there on time! He ran as fast as he can

"KAI! WATCH OUT!" Miwa screamed when he realize the tree is going down straight to Kai's head.

Kai who was busy reconstructing his deck, tilted his head up, eyes widening when the tree came crashing down, just as someone manages to push him out of the way.

"K-Kai…kun" a weak croaked voice tells him what exactly has happened.

Aichi… Sendou Aichi… One of the few people he (actually) cares about… Has pushed him out of death danger and took it himself. He felt his head spin and blacked out.

Send me review! Critics are welcome! Just...don't make it too harsh. Actually, my friend got this ideas but didn't write it so I decide to write it myself. No worries, I have permissions. Sorry if some of the characters are OOC, I really have to work on that.

Hope you enjoyed it!
