Chapter 2: School Maiden

Aichi looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing the gray uniform that was given to her the day before by Kai. She combed her silky blue hair neatly, grabbed her bag from the sidetable and walked out into the kitchen where Kai had gotten ready their breakfast.

The smell of pancakes drifted from the dining table over to her nostrils. Kai placed the food on their plates before sitting down. Aichi sat opposite of Kai. He ate his pancakes quickly while Aichi savoured every last bit of the pancakes slowly. When they were done, Kai cleared the table and plates. Aichi waited in the living room.

Out of the blue, she asked Kai "Kai onii-san, do you like it?"

"Like what?" Kai responded as he finished cleaning up.

"The uniform"

Kai glanced at the blue-haired girl fully for the first time from head to toe. He felt his cheeks reddening and turned around to pick up his bag. He walked over to the door and opened it without another word.

Aichi tilted her head and followed after the boy. "Kai onii-san…"

Throughout the short walk to Aichi's school, Kai had kept quiet. This, Aichi was deeply aware. He hadn't answered her question nor look or talk to her anymore. Tears almost sprung in her eyes at the thought that Kai would never share his warmth to her again so she was determined to change that.

"Here we are" Kai spoke suddenly. Aichi stopped. They were at her new school's gates already.

Kai turned to walk away. Just then, Aichi held his hand. Kai turned to look at her and Aichi with blushing cheeks planted a kiss on Kai's cheek.

Stunned, Kai stood there on the spot. Aichi smiled wryly and ran to school. "See you at Card Capital, Kai onii-san!"

Kai watched her go, his cheeks as equally red as Aichi's. Then he turned to walk to his own school. A smile slowly made its way to his face.

oOo

Aichi's POV

It seems I have attended this school before. A few girls in my class have approached me during lunch break to talk about what happened after I transferred but I really I have no idea what they are talking about so I change the subject.

The class representative had volunteered to remind me of some things since they all thought I forgotten about the school which is partly true. Except that I didn't forgot them on purpose.

"You haven't changed, have you Sendou-san?"

I couldn't understand what she was talking about as usual. "Huh?"

"I mean you're still quiet"

"Oh" I replied.

"Do you remember anything about school now that I have taken you on my little 'tour'?"

Frankly speaking, no. I told myself. To the class rep, I said. "A little"

She seems pleased with herself for doing a wonderful job. I didn't want to disappoint her.

We walk together until we reached the school gates. "Well, see you tomorrow" she waved to me. I waved back with less enthusiasm.

As soon as she was gone, I bounded off in the direction of Card Capital. Kai was waiting for me there and I intended to be there early to greet him. Maybe get to ask Misaki-san to help me with a vanguard deck of my own. That would surely improve my relationship with Kai. I don't want to be his little sister, I want to be something more to him.

I haven't move more than ten steps out of school when I felt something hard strike against my neck and next thing I knew, my consciousness left me.

I heard some voices.

"She's that Kai sister, right?"

"I'm sure of it"

"With her as our hostage, Kai would not refuse to cardfight me again"


This chapter is rather short and i will try to make it longer the next time round. So please bear with me!

As for who the kidnappers are...that's a secret until then :)
