Disclaimer: I do not own Cardfight! Vanguard. Vanguard is owned by those guys in Bushiroad apparently? I dunno. XD

What? What's this? Where's the Pokemon? Yeah, I never said I was just doing Pokemon upon my revival in fanfiction. XD I've decided to delve into other series too. And Vanguard is one of those stories I really wanted to write a fanfic for. I know I never really said before, but I'm quite an avid Vanguard player, and I watch the anime too. Next is amazing right now. XDXDXD

Anyways, what better way to start a Vanguard story with probably my favorite ship in G right now, Chronoha. I mean, how can you go wrong with this ship? XD Also, consider this a bit of an early Halloween special from me… hehe XD Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this. I was really inspired to bring this to you! XD

Chapter 1: Halloween

Summary: It's Halloween, and Chrono and Tokoha find themselves taking on a Haunted House together. When the two are separated from each other, how will Tokoha cope with being lost and all alone in the dark?

"… She's late…" A boy with swirly, spiky red hair says while tapping his foot impatiently. The young 15 year old boy in question was Shindou Chrono, the Generation Master. The young red haired boy was waiting for a certain green haired girl. He was currently dressed in as a werewolf, complete with the fangs, claws and the fake, furry brown werewolf beard. "That girl… I told her to meet me by the-" The red haired boy begins while looking at his watch impatiently, when suddenly a voice calls out to him, running towards him and breathing heavily as the female figure catches her breath.

"S-Sorry… I'm… late, Chrono…" The green haired girl says while breathing heavily while exhausted from the run. "I was getting dressed, when my original costume went somewhere and I wound up having to get dressed in this…" She was dressed in a skin-tight, latex short dress which hugged at her body sexily, complete with small bat wings and a fake tail. Chrono has his eyes widened and reels back a bit while completely taken by surprise at how daring and sexy the green haired girl looked, dressing as a succubus.

"T-Tokoha, y-your costume…" Chrono stutters while completely red in the cheeks. He then looks away a bit in complete denial while still blushing at how cute and sexy the green haired girl looked. "Y-You look nice… but I thought for sure you would choose to dress up as Asha though." He mumbles quietly under his breath. Tokoha giggles at this, seeing that Chrono was too stubborn to admit that he liked her costume and poses a bit, teasing him and poking at his cheeks.

"The same reason you're not dressed as Chronojet, Mr. Werewolf~!" The green haired girl says teasingly and playfully while smiling. She then poses a bit to show off her costume a bit more. "C'mon, be a bit more honest with yourself, Chrono. You like what you see, right?" She says while sticking her tongue out playfully at him. Chrono simply snorts and looks the other way while taking Tokoha's hand, hiding the deep blush in his cheeks.

"Y-Yeah, whatever. Now can we hurry and go inside the haunted house before it closes on us?" The red haired boy says to her, still in denial and completely red in the cheeks with how cute she looked. Tokoha giggles and smiles as she follows along, unaware that a certain brown haired girl was watching from afar, giggling and smiling as her best friend went with the red haired boy.

"Hehe, Tokoha-chan, not bad at all! The look on Chrono's face was priceless!" She muses to herself while plotting. In her hands was Tokoha's original costume, where she had a cute costume of her dressed as an elf. That was before her costume was snatched away and swapped, of course. "Now then, on to the next phase of my big plan…" The girl, known as Kumi says to herself before slipping away, and looking to bring the young couple even closer together.

Moments later, the two of them arrive in front of a dark, spooky looking haunted house. Dark Zone Branch was currently hosting a special Halloween event. Pairs of two would navigate and go through this haunted house which was set up for them, and the first pair to make it out of the house would win first place. The first place prize… was a weeks' worth of free croquettes from the Nishi Bakery. Tokoha knew she had to win, but Shion wasn't interested and decided to skip out on the event, so Chrono was the only one she could turn to. Out of good will, the red haired boy decided to accept, but a part of him wanted to show the green haired girl just how brave he could be and wanted to protect her when she would get scared. As they stand in front of the house, Tokoha clings to Chrono's arms, hiding behind him. She wasn't too good dealing with dark, scary places.

"What's this? Is little Tokoha scared of the dark?" Chrono asks with a wide, comical and teasing grin on his face as he pokes her on the cheeks. "Relax, I'll be right by your side all the way, so you don't have to be scared!" He says as he pets her head reassuringly with a smile on his face. Tokoha pouts at this adorably and pinches Chrono hard on the cheeks while still clinging to his arms.

"I-I'm not scared at all, you dummy!" Tokoha says stubbornly and in denial. "N-Now let's go! That first place prize is ours!" She says while pumping her fist cheerfully and energetically, though her arm was comically trembling just a little. Chrono chuckles at this and follows along, staying close to the green haired girl. She looked really cute stubbornly denying that she was scared and putting up a brave face despite her actual feelings. Meanwhile, Kumi watches from afar as she puts on a very scary, yet comical demon mask with painted, fake blood dripping from its fangs.

"Operation scare Tokoha-chan out of her wits is a go~!" Kumi says while giggling to herself before putting the mask on and sneaking into the haunted house.

Inside the house things were dark and quiet… Too quiet… Chrono seemed to be just fine, casually having his hands to his pockets. It seemed a bit normal for him, but for Tokoha, the silence and the suspense was killing her. She stayed right behind Chrono, clinging to his arm tightly and not wanting to let go. Chrono raises an eyebrow as the green haired girl clings to him with her eyes screwed shut tightly with tears forming from her eyes.

"Are you sure you're alright, Tokoha?" He asks Tokoha curiously while raising an eyebrow. "If you're scared, we can turn back and try again when you compose yourself." He says to her in a gentlemanly manner. However, the green haired girl stubbornly looks up with her cheeks puffed in a pout and tears still formed in her eyes.

"K-Keep going…" The green haired girl says stubbornly and adorably. "W-We're making first place no matter what!" Chrono raises his eyebrows at this, but shrugs as he carries on. As he turns around, a person dressed in a demon mask jumps in front of Chrono and Tokoha and tries to scare them, screaming in their face. Chrono sweat drops at this, seemingly not bothered by this attempted jump scare at all and scratches the back of his head.

"… Huh… well… It's good to know the guys around here are making an effort to make this whole thing scary, right, Tokoha?" He muses comically. He then blinks and raises his eyebrows, scratching the back of his head as he looks around. "Tokoha? Where did you go?" He wonders with his eyes widened. He then scratches the back of his head while moving forward. She couldn't have gotten too far ahead of him, right? Meanwhile, as Chrono leaves, Kumi takes off her mask and sweat drops a bit at Tokoha's reaction to the jumpscare.

"Hm, maybe I took it a bit too far…" She muses to herself. "Tokoha-chan looked like she was really scared back there…" She then heads off, looking for her green haired best friend, wondering where she could have possibly gone.

Meanwhile, the green haired girl is seen running ahead with her eyes screwed shut completely and tightly with moe tears forming at her eyes as she runs ahead. She was completely scared and startled by that jump scare and it had caught her completely off guard, but she was too stubborn to admit that she was scared and she didn't want Chrono to see that scared look on her face when she was startled, so she ran away. Little did she know, she ran… a bit too far ahead… And she didn't know that she had strayed from the path that was set for her.

'I-I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'm not- H-Huh? Where am I?" The green haired girl says as she pauses and blinks while looking around. This path wasn't familiar to her, and it appeared. It was cold… dark… and eerily quiet…The green haired girl could barely even see what was ahead of her. Tokoha whimpers a bit and calls out, hoping that maybe someone could hear her.

"Ch-Chrono? I-Is anyone there…?" The green haired girl calls out meekly with her voice shaky and trembling. "I-If you're out there and you're trying to scare me, it's not funny and I'm not scared!" She adds stubbornly, refusing to admit that the pitch darkness was scaring her completely. Suddenly a rustling is heard and the green haired girl jumps, letting out a small, cute yelp as she turns around to see what it was. It was only a small mouse, but it had completely terrified her with the pitch darkness. The green haired girl whimpers a bit as she huddles into a ball while hugging her knees, her eyes screwed shut tightly as tears form from her eyes as she trembles.

"I-I really am scared after all… Chrono, I'm scared…" The green haired girl whimpers in a small, helpless whimper. "H-Help me…" As the green haired girl says this, a figure appears from behind her with widened eyes. He then comes up to her and hugs her, holding her close.

"Tokoha! There you are! You had me worried sick!" Chrono exclaims as he hugs the green haired girl, holding her close to him and cradling her in his arms. "Don't run off on me like that again, alright? I thought I lost you there!" The green haired girl's eyes soften as he says this. She then puffs her cheeks as she feebly pounds him on the cheeks while burying his face in his chest adorably with tears still formed at the edge of her eyes adorably.

""T-Took you long enough, you dummy!" Tokoha says meekly and adorably. Chrono simply smiles and pets the girl on her head and chuckles while holding her close, calming her down while she was scared.

"Sorry, it took a while, but I heard your voice echoing from the distance and I managed to track you down! It took a while because I didn't know which direction you ran off to. There, there, you're alright now… I'm here for you!" He says as he pets her and holds her close, calming her down and letting her regain her composure. "Are you feeling well enough to move again?" He asks kindly as he helps her up on her feet. Tokoha grows red in the cheeks at how gallant Chrono looked coming to her rescue and quietly nods her head while looking away.

"Y-Yeah, thanks…" She says quietly, feeling calmer and more comfortable now that Chrono was here by her side. She then smiles at him and pumps her fist. "Now let's win this event!" The red haired teenager grins and nods his head at her as the two of them head off to clear the race. As the run off ahead, Kumi smiles and watches them as they make their way out of the house.

"Chrono found her… thank goodness…" Kumi muses to herself, breathing a sigh of relief before deciding to go after the two of them and follow them out of the haunted house.

Moments later, Chrono and Tokoha finally reached the exit, and were the first ones out of the haunted house. The two of them grin at each other and give each other high fives as Tokoha cheers cheerfully from their victory.

"We did it, Chrono! We won first place!" She says cheerfully. "That weeks' worth of Croquettes are all mine!" The red haired teenager smiles as the green haired girl celebrates their victory. As long as she was happy, he felt happy as well. As the two of them celebrate, Kumi comes up to them and smiles, finally showing herself to them. Tokoha has her eyes widened and looks surprised as she goes up to her best friend.

"Kumi! I didn't know you were here!" The green haired girl says cheerfully. The brown haired girl smiles at this cheerfully and nods her head.

"I was helping a bit with the scaring around here! And I thought I would surprise you!" She says brightly and cheerfully. She then looks at Chrono and gets a sly, plotting grin on her face. "By the way, Chrono, I have something you might want to see~!" She says as she takes out her phone and shows him a picture of a terrified Tokoha with her mouth wide open, as if she was internally screaming with eyes widened and tears forming at her eyes. She looked completely scared in the photo. Chrono has his eyes widened and his hand to his mouth, struggling to stifle his laugh while Tokoha gawks at Kumi and Chrono comically and adorably. She then starts fuming adorably with a vein mark popped on the back of her head and her fists clenched.

"Chrono, stop laughing! That isn't funny at all! Kumi, you come back here with that picture right now!" She exclaims comically and adorably while fuming as she chases after her friend and reaches for her phone. Kumi laughs as she runs the other way playfully, keeping her phone away from Tokoha while Chrono just watches on with a smile and his arms crossed casually.

To be continued

Wow, that was a ton of fun! XDXDXD I always liked the Chronoha shipping for Vanguard, but damn, I think if anything this bolstered my love for the ship more than anything. I don't see many Chronoha fics on Fanfiction, so hopefully I can change that in the future. Expect more Chronoha coming from me sometime in the future, because this was really enjoyable for me to write for all you guys! :3c

Don't worry, I will still write Pokemon stories, but writing a Vanguard story was something new and fresh. Besides, it's nice having some variety, right? :PP

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Review, favorite, like, all the usual stuff and don't flame, nothing you haven't heard before, right? Up next is Thanksgiving! Here's the summary for the next chapter to give you a sneak preview!

Summary: Chrono has several things that he's thankful for, but is simply too stubborn to break out of his shell to admit it. Maybe a certain green haired girl can break him out of his shell give him something to be truly thankful for.
