SailorStar9: After getting the prologue out, this is Chapter 1 of this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.
Pairings: Kai/Ami, side!Miwa/Minako
Standard BS Disclaimers: Sailor Moon and Cardfight! Vanguard belong to Takeuchi-sensei and Bushiroad respectively. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except the pairing and the fic idea.
Chapter 1: Angel Feather Tutor
In the Anjou household after Team TRY 3's utter defeat against Team Demise...
"We haven't fought at home for a long time." Mamoru looked at his sister from across the dining table.
"Since you're home, I figured I'd better take advantage of it and have you train me." Tokoha replied. "There's someone I want to pass up."
"You mean Hashima Rin, right?" Mamoru asked.
"You knew?" Tokoha blinked.
"Yeah, I fought her once, long ago." Mamoru admitted. "The result may have hurt her."
"So that's why she picks on me." Tokoha realized.
"It seems she hasn't treated you well." Mamoru noted.
"I'm okay." Tokoha assured. "It might have started with you, but I'm the one who's going to fight Hashima Rin."
"All right." Mamoru nodded. "Then, I'll introduce you to someone who also uses Angel Feather; she will be your tutor."
"Nii-san?" Tokoha blinked in confusion. "She?" she echoed.
"Wait a moment." Mamoru left the dining table to boot up his laptop. "Ami-san." he greeted the medical student on the other end of the open chat window. "I need to ask for a favor."
"Hashima Rin, huh?" Ami pulled out the dossier she had accumulated about fellow Angel Feather fighters. "And you want me to train your sister to fight her."
"Yes." Mamoru replied. "Can you?"
"Please keep in mind that my play style is completely different from Hashima Rin's style." Ami reminded.
"It doesn't matter." Mamoru assured. "Can you?"
"Very well." Ami agreed. "Set up the online game platform and have her create an account. I'll log into my account as well."
"Thanks." Mamoru nodded. "Tokoha." he went to get his sister.
"You're... Kozuki Ami." Tokoha breathed in shock, unable to believe that one of the best Angel Feather players would be tutoring her personally.
"Anjou Tokoha, I assume." Ami greeted the younger player.
"Yes..." Tokoha took a seat in front of her desktop computer.
"Let's begin, shall we?" Ami settled in.
"Stand up, Vanguard!"
"Attack!" Ami ended the first fight in under ten minutes.
"I lost again." Tokoha whined. "One more time!"
"Attack!" the second round ended in a little over ten minutes, with the win to Ami once again.
"I'm not done yet!" Tokoha was adamant.
"Attack!" the third round went to Ami again.
"I'm gonna win the next time." Tokoha swore.
"That's the look I'm looking for." Ami smiled. "I'm going to use my real G Guardian this time. The stride skill of Ahsha can call a rear-guard with the same name as its stride skill." she lectured. "But if there isn't a strong card out when it strides, you can't fully utilize it. If the rear-guard is attacked, do all that you can to guard it."
"Got it." Tokoha nodded. "I'll try it out. Sparkling bud, now is the time to bloom. Ranunculus Flower Maiden, Ahsha, ride! Ahsha, attack!"
"Nice fight." Ami praised, Tokoha had finally won the fight.
"I won!" Tokoha cheered.
"Tokoha, can you get Mamoru on the line?" Ami requested, cutting the younger girl's cheer off.
"Okay." Tokoha nodded. "Nii-san!"
"I'm sorry for troubling you at a time like this." Mamoru apologized, once he was on the other side of the game platform chat room.
"Don't worry about it." Ami assured. "It was a fun fight and I get to take my mind off schoolwork for a while. She's ready, Mamoru."
"I see." Mamoru nodded. "Thanks again."
"I thought I'll give you this when the training is over." Mamoru handed Tokoha the 'Dream-spinning Ranunculus, Ahsha' card. "Even Ami assured you're ready for this."
"Ahsha's future..." Tokoha gasped in shock.
"You won it with your ability, Tokoha." Mamoru stated. "Remember what Ami has taught you."
"Yes!" Tokoha nodded.
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
