yo readers!

whew! just finished another chapter and i put a lot of thinking into this one before we hit the big parts...which might happen in the next few chapters and i got some reviews! yay! thankyou so much!

ok so as you can see the title for this chapter, i didn't know what to call it and calling it chapter 4 is just BORING ya know.

so yeah, the first part of this chapter might not be related to the title but just how kimoru meets with some other people and stuff. oh and also i've been doing some drawing of kimoru and i'm totally fangirling over it. (i wonder if i should get deviantart?)

ok so i don't have much to say in this chapter but let get on with the story!

Mother?

The next day, shin was explaining to kimoru what they do in the store and what she can do to help.
"ok kimoru, now I want you to help me stack those cards on the shelf, can you handle that?" asked shin. Kimoru nodded as she got the booster packs and stacked them neatly in order.
"ok I'm done, anything else old man?" asked kimoru. "why am I the old man?..." shin thought to himself. "well, that's about it, you can go play now." Said shin. Kimoru looked around as she seemed confused. "play what?" kimoru asked. shin the just remembered that kimoru is still new around. "I mean like play with the other kids, like cardfight." Shin explained. "it's also a good time to make new friends." Kimoru then looked at the children in the store, she stood for a moment while she was playing with her fingers. "oh that's right, you don't have a deck, why don't you use a starter deck" said shin as he grabbed one from the box. "oh wow, there's a lot of them here…so kimoru which one do you want to use?" asked shin. He grabbed a nova grappler box, a narukami box and an oracle think tank box. Kimoru stared at them for a long time.


30 minutes later…

Kimoru was on the counter still looking at the decks, she examines each card in each deck and carefully laid them out separately. Assistant cat was just on the side watching kimoru looking at the cards. Shin just watched kimoru from the other side of the room. "she's been looking at them for a while now…" shin thought.

Misaki comes back from her school and sees kimoru looking at the deck while shin was explaining about the clan's speciality and other details. "what's going on?" asked misaki. "kimoru is deciding which deck to use! Isn't it exciting?" said shin. Misaki looks over at kimoru and the cards, she sees, kimoru carefully picking up the cards and putting them back in their boxes. Then misaki sees kimoru holding a narukami card on one hand, and an oracle think tank card on the other. "did something catch your eye?" asked misaki as she put her working apron on. "the narukami seems strong but I…I feel like something's missing…" said kimoru. misaki didn't know what she meant but there was some kind of stiff look on her face when she saw the narukami card. "OLD MANN!" kimoru shouted as the kids laughed, Shin went red as he heard it. " i'm not that old!" said shin as he went to kimoru. "which one should I use? The narukami or the oracle think tank?" asked kimoru. shin smiled. " you should use the one you feel comfortable using." Shin explained he was going into detail but he sees kimoru facing to misaki. "misakii…which one should I use? The old man's blabbering something else again..." said kimoru, shin heard what kimoru said as he sat in the corner, sulking.

"why don't you try both?" said misaki. "that way, it's easier to decide which is better to use." She explained. "…ok…" said kimoru as she took both. She went around the other kids and asked if she could play with them while trying out the decks.


An hour later, kenji comes in the store.

"whoa guys! Look! It's kenji from team ceser!" said the kids. The kids runs off to see him in person, kimoru was just left on the table with the game unfinished. She was curious about this person and get off to see. "who's kenji?" she asked. all the kids looked at her with a serious look on their faces. "what?! You're telling me you've never heard of kenji from team ceser?! He's one of the best cardfighters in the world!" the kids explained, kimoru looked even more confused as she looked at kenji. "so you're new to this game?" asked kenji. Kimoru didn't hear kenji while she started at him. One of the kids elbowed her. "hey say something! Don't be rude to the great kenji!" said the kids.

While the kids were explaining kimoru about kenji and team ceser, kenji got to the point of his reason. "where's aichi?" he asked. "oh, I think he said that he was going to go and cardfight team handsome with kamui." Shin explained. As shin and kenji were talking, the kids bragged how strong kenji is. "he's like the best!" said one. "he'll defeat you really quick!" said another. "he's my sempai~!" said another. "so he's like really strong?" asked kimoru. "YEAH!" all the kids shouted. "didn't you just hear us explaining?!" said the kids. Kimoru thought for a while. "a really strong fighter?"


At another card shop…

Aichi was facing off kamui as they were getting ready for the tournament, while nagisa was scolding team handsome for not getting into the tournament. The kenji arrives to the store as gouki and the others were surprised to see him. As kenji explains that he wants to face off aichi, he sees aichi cardfighting and prefers not to distract him, as he was about to leave, he bumps into something. Kenji looks down to see. "oh sorry…" said kenji. As he kneels down he noticed it was kimoru. "you're the kid from earlier…" kimoru picks herself up and brushed her shirt. "are you strong?" she asked. gouki come over to sees what happened. "whoa, looks like you got a new fan." He said. "well I don't know…" said kenji. "everyone says that you're strong…" said kimoru with a serious face. "I don't know to be honest…" said kenji. There was silent, 10 seconds later she made a surprised expression like she realised something. "is this a card shop?" she asked. kenji and gouki sweatdropped. "you just realised that?!" said gouki. "whoa, so there's more than one card shop!?" said kimoru. "where did she even come from?!" kenji thought as he sees kimoru's eyes sparkle while she admires the cards she sees in the store. "is there anything you like to see in shop handsome?" asked gouki. Kimoru looked at gouki but didn't say anything for a few seconds, she looked back at kenji, ignoring gouki as gouki felt a little disappointed. "how did you get here?" asked kenji, knowing he took a taxi. "I ran…" kimoru gave a straight answer. Kenji was surprised how this kid could keep up in the street and find him here. "so what do you want?" asked kenji. Kimoru stared off saying nothing in 10 seconds. "…I forgot…" kimoru responded. Kenji and gouki didn't know what to say except describing her as forgetful. "well since you're here. Why don't you look around shop handsome? You might find something interesting…" said gouki inviting her in. kimoru nodded as she walked in. while gouki suggests to cardfight kenji, kimoru walks around the shop looking at the cards and booster packs, etc. reji then noticed kimoru over from the other side of the room. "hey it's kimoru." said reji. Eiji looks over to see. "yo! Kimoru!" kimoru looked at reji and eiji as she sees them both wave, gesturing her to come over, kimoru goes over to their side. "what are you doing here?" asked reji. "I forgot…"said kimoru. as reji and eiji sweat dropped. "well you should watch kamui and aichi cardfight, this is a blast!" said reji. Kimoru watched kamui and aichi cardfight as she imagines, how intense their fight was, she starts to admire their fight and can't take her eyes off the game.

As their game ended, aichi was rewarded a bandana for being the winner of shop handsome's tournament. he then noticed kimoru walking into a direction. "hey isn't that kimoru?"said kamui. "what is she watching?" aichi looked where kimoru was watching, to his surprise, kenji was facing off gouki, aichi noticed how attached kimoru was as he sees her face so focused on the game till it was over. "oh, it's over? That was quick…" said kimoru a little depressed. "oh you were watching?" asked kenji. Kimoru looked around to see who he was talking to, turns out he was talking to her as kimoru pointed to herself. "did you like the game?" he asked. kimoru nodded with a big smile. "I did. It was an epic battle! You were so close and you won!" said kimoru. "it's good that you like the game." Said kenji. "so what brings you here kimoru?" asked aichi. "dunno…" said kimoru. "you know this kid?" asked kenji who was just getting confused. Aichi explained how the gang met kimoru and had a memory loss. "poor girl, guess it kinda explains how you forgot why you followed me…" said kenji. As kenji explained how he was going to study in the SIT collage and won't be back for a while. Then yuri and gai came in telling how worried they were. kimoru looked at yuri seeing how pretty she was, yuri noticed kimoru staring at her. "so this is one of your fans?" asked yuri. "I don't know…" said kenji. Kimoru ran and stood in front of yuri, she didn't say anything in 10 seconds. She then gave a loud gasp. "are you kenji's girlfriend?!" she asked in excitement. This surprised everyone. Yuri and kenji blushed so hard their faces was as red as a tomato. "what?!" they were both in sync. everyone laughed. "well she has a point." Said gouki. "that's so romantic, just like my relationship with my dear kamui." Said nagisa. "she's so innocent…" said gai. Yuri and kenji turned away while they were blushing. Kamui walks up to kimoru. "that's was a good one!" said kamui as he patted her on the back hards. Kimoru didn't like it so she head butted him. "hey! Don't you dare hurt my sweetie!" nagisa growled at her, but it didn't faze kimoru at all. Nagisa walked to her. "you hear me?!" she say as she was going to poke her in the forehead, but kimoru swatted her hand away and walked to aichi. Nagisa was reaching to her breaking point, then misaki comes in.
"kimoru!" she walked over to her. "so this is where you were! you had me worried sick!" said misaki. "misakii" said kimoru happily as she ran over to grab her legs. "hey misaki." Said aichi. "she seems really happy to see misaki." Said gai. "if you ask me, she more like her mother." Said yuri. "huh?" misaki replied. "now that I think about it, you kinda acted like a mother when you first came in…" said aichi. "I-I was just concerned about her safety…" said misaki. "yeah, and how kimoru seemed comfortable around kai too." Kamui added. "stop it!" said misaki as she was starting to blush. "a mother…?" said kimoru


Back at misaki's house

Kimoru was looking at the narukami and oracle think tank decks as misaki came into the room. "still deciding on what deck you like to use?" asked misaki. Kimoru then turned around and looked at misaki. "why don't I have a mother?" asked kimoru. misaki gave her a surprised expression. "what gave you that idea?" asked misaki. "I see kids with their mother and I see the kids have a mother, expect for me…" said kimoru as she remembered seeing some kids being picked up by their mother and kids with their mother when she was walking in the streets. "don't say that. You do have a mother, everyone must have at least a mother or a father, and I believe you do too. In fact I bet they're out there looking for you." Misaki smiled. As kimoru looked at misaki she then suudenly hugged her. Misaki was surprised "kimoru?" misaki didn't know what she was doing. "I want misaki to be my mother…" said kimoru. misaki was shocked from her response, she makes kimoru release her. "kimoru, that doesn't work like that, you can't choose you own parents." Misaki tried to explain. "it's impossible…" but deep in misaki's thoughts, she thinks that was cute and wished that kimoru was her child. She then saw how serious kimoru's face was. "then I'll make it possible so I can be with you and papa!" kimoru shouted in determination. "I want misakii to be my mama!" misaki felt like she was going to faint. "does she even know the word impossible?" she thought, then she thought how she said she was going to make it possible for her to be her mother, also mentioned father, cute but… "i-if you're wanting me to be your mother then who the father?" asked misaki but she had some sort of twisted feeling of this answer.
Kimoru then responded. "kaii!"


can kimoru's determination make her wish come true? to be continued...
