I had a busy week, so sorry for not updating, though I will update at least once a week. Well, maybe I'll post another one on Sunday. (But I'm not quite sure about that.)

I'm really happy, I got so many reviews to the first chapter.

Please enjoy.

Aichi's POV

I felt the light autumn breeze tickle my face as I looked at the sky and smiled at the shining sun above my head. I was carrying my school bag and looked at my wristwatch to see the time. I giggled a little, since it would be only short minutes before I would see Kai-kun.

A few days had passed since he asked me on a date and we actually haven't been to a date yet, but every since that day we have been walking home together. I have to admit, that he never talks really much and neither do I, but it really fills me with glee when we walk alongside each other home.

"Hey, Aichi. Why don't you ditch the dickhead and walk with me home for a change?" Miwa-kun asked, throwing his arm around my shoulders. I just laughed nervously and thought how someone like him could spend so much time with Kai-kun. I knew he meant it only as a joke, but it still was a tad odd in my opinion.

Then I felt his arm suddenly feel lighter, until I realized he had been pulled away from me by my dear friend, Misaki-senpai. She just had an annoyed facial expression on her face and Miwa put his hands together as a sign of begging for mercy. I laughed and then noticed Kai-kun wasn't with them.

"Isn't Kai-kun coming?" I asked, looking around if I couldn't catch a glimpse of Kai-kun somewhere.

"Huh? He didn't tell you? Kai has cleaning duty today, so he'll be off later. You shouldn't wait here for him though, it will take at least an hour and a half before he's done," Miwa-kun exclaimed, pointing at the school building to emphasize that Kai-kun was still there.

"Oh, I think he just forgot to mention it yesterday," I lied, since yesterday he had plenty of opportunities to tell me, but he didn't even squeak all the way home. Maybe he doesn't like it that he has to go home with me every day. Could it be that he just doesn't want to tell me that he doesn't want to do this anymore?

"Well, see ya tomorrow, Aichi!" Miwa-kun and Misaki-senpai said before leaving together. I glanced at them and thought that they would actually make a cute couple, but I doubt Misaki-senpai has any feelings for him, despite the fact they're very close to each other and to Kai as well.

But what should I do now? I sighed and decided it would be best just to wait. I would feel guilty if I would just leave. I sat down at a nearby bench and looked through my deck of Royal Paladins. I grinned as I looked at the card, which meant the world to me, Blaster Blade. It was given me by a special person, someone who I always craved to meet again, but didn't yet have the opportunity to.

Well, Misaki told me Kai-kun liked to play Vanguard as well. He probably doesn't know I play too. I would have to tell him sometime. I just looked through my cards and tried to finds way to add new combos for my strategy. I leaned at the back of the bench and waited for the time to pass, to finally Kai-kun to arrive.

…

I felt my body being carried and lazily opened my eyes to see myself being in the arms of someone. I looked up and blushed when I saw Kai-kun's familiar face so close to mine. Did I fall asleep back there? Man, this is so embarrassing!

"So, you are finally awake?" he asked in the most casual voice possible. My face only reddened more and I could seriously die of awkwardness.

"K-Kai-kun, y-you can p-p-put me down n-now," I exclaimed, struggling a little to show him I was perfectly fine and could walk on my own two feet. But he just held on tight on me and kept walking. He just looked forward and didn't reply to my demand.

"We're almost there. It's a way of saying thank you for waiting for me," he said, half absently. Kai-kun was really a strange person. I smiled and nuzzled a little into his chest. It felt so comfortable being in his arms, like in my soft bed.

He smelled like mint. I liked that scent. It was so fresh, but somehow sweet at the same time, making me adoring his presence even more. It must have looked really weird to the people around us, but in this position, it felt like we were the only people on Earth. I have never experienced what it was like to be so close to someone, but I think I might actually start to find it as something very joyful.

"Sorry for not telling you about my cleaning duties today. I wanted to mention it, but I forgot, since I had something special planned for tomorrow for us."

"What do you mean? I thought we would catch a movie together and something for dinner," I said, surprised to hear him, that he had other plans for our date tomorrow. He just shook his head and slowly let me stand on my own feet, since we already arrived at my home. He took his bag and dug through his things to find something, I suppose?

"Look, what I managed to get us."

He held two yellow tickets in front of my face. I looked closely and saw that those were tickets for the Cardfight! Vanguard Nationals this weekend! No way! I thought this was sold out weeks ago. How did Kai-kun manage to get these?

"You seem to be glad. Misaki told me you also played Vanguard, so I thought that our first date should be something extraordinary."

"But how did you get them?" I asked, wondering what influence or sources he could possibly have to get us these tickets at the last minute like this, I mean the Nationals already start tomorrow! He just chuckled, earning a confused look from me.

"Well, you haven't met them yet, but I have a friend, Suzugamori Ren, and he's playing with his team on that, so all I needed to do was beat him in a fight to get us these tickets."

Wow. Kai-kun was on a national finalist level? What impressive skills he must have. I would love to look though his deck build and see what kind of clan and Legion he's using.

"But, if you're able to beat him, why don't you participate on your own at Nationals?"

"I don't know. I never felt the need to do that, besides, I already once won the Nationals with my friends," Kai-kun replied, making my jaw drop. I swear, any further and it would hit the ground. He started to laugh at me and I just made a pouting face.

"Don't make a big deal out of it. If you like we can form with Miwa and Misaki a team and participate next year and beat team Asteroid," he exclaimed, ruffling through my long blue hair. I blushed again and felt my heartbeat fasten up at an extreme pace.

However, why does it seem like he sees my only like a little sister than a love interest?

He isn't getting nervous when we are together…

He acts like we were ages apart though we only have a 1 year gap between us…

Why?

REVIEW

A/N Okay, honestly, I have no idea where this story is going. I had something planned, but now it all got mixed up somehow. About the final pairings, I don't know yet, sorry people! But RenSaka is for sure, that's all.

One more thing, I will keep switching between POVs so I hope it won't confuse you.
