Writers note. My fiancè has the hots for Naoki, so I just wanted to give her something funny to read. This still will have a little plot included, but will at the same time focuses on her OC and Naoki.
Chapter 4 - The Beauty and the truth
School had finally reached to the end for the week. It's finally Saturday and it's time for our heroes to relax. Their usual hang out is the Card Captial, and finally Nishi are able to join the group to play some games together later that day.
"Dear Dairy, sorry if I'm writing this early, but today I will head to the Card Capital with my friends from school. I'm so excited, especially with Naoki. He's so cool and handsome at the same time. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone" Nishi was writing in her diary on her bed. She was blushing happily while reading out loud what she was writing.
Nishi closes her dairy and walks out of her bed as she finishes writing.
"Nishi!" a voice was calling for her name downstairs.
"Yes mom?" Nishi called back to her mom. Smiling excited to get to the Card Capital.
"Don't forget to throw your old clothes in the laundry before you go!" Her mom said. Nishi hurried up and collected her dirty clothes and places them in the bin. She gathers more of her clothes, but suddenly something falls out of the clothes she was carrying. It was a strange looking book which looks actually new.
"Hmmm?" Nishi mumbled to herself and takes the book and look closer at it.
"Should I check what's inside?" she thought to herself and looks at it even more. The curiousity grew stronger inside of her mind and opens its slowly. It appears to be a small photo album, but lacks photos. Nishi recognize some of the pictures in the book, it was her and another boy in the pictures.
"Aaaah, so this is the boy who introduced me to vanguard, it must have been 2 years ago since I met him or something!" she said to herself as she begins to smile. Her mother comes to her room and takes the laundry bin and notice Nishi was looking through her book.
"Oh! What do you have there? Is it what I think it is?" Nishi's mother asked her.
"I think so, it's a photo album that was lying around the clothes" she said.
"You should take more good care of your items, and clean your room more often so you don't lose your stuffs" Nishi's mom said and walks out of her room. Nishi closes the album and puts it next to her desktop, and as she was about to leave the house her little sister opens the door.
"Big sis, are you going to the Card Capital too?" the little sister asked
"Of course I am, Mai." Nishi said and takes her deck with her. Taking Mai's hand and walks out of the house and head their way to the card shop. On their out Nishi walks to the right and sees Naoki right before her as he also was on his way to the shop.
"Oh Nishi, what a coincident. Are you heading to the card shop?" Naoki asked.
"Yes, wanna walk together?" she winked and smiled at him as they walks their way beside each other while holding Mai's hand. Naoki was blushing as until they walk their way to the Card Shop.
Both of them was talking about their different kind of school in both Japan and Malaysia. Naoki was talking about the time when they had a play where he dressed up as a Vowing sword dragon. And explains how everything become all ruined but was saved by the famous Daigo. All three of them finally arrived the card shop to see Aichi and the others.
"Oh wow! So many people to play with! Hurry Ishida-kun! Let's play some Vanguard!" she giggles and pulls Naoki to the closest table. She puts her deck down and challenges him.
"Alright! But don't expect me to hold back on ya!" Naoki said with his fist ready to fight. He placed his deck down and starts to play.
"Both of them seem to get along really well" Aichi said to Kourin, as he tries to have a conversation with her even she's busy analyzing Nishi's play style. Misaki wasn't at the card shop cause of a headach..
"Alright! I won!" Nishi said happily as she jumps up and down after defeating Naoki's Eradicator deck.
"Ack..you got me, if I intercepted earlier I would have been able to guard your previous attack. But yeah, misplays happens" Naoki made up an excuse.
Few minutes later Shin appears before of the other players and looks around. Noticing only Morikawa and Izaki and Kamui, Reiji and Eiji from Hitsue high school. It was like something happened. He goes and approches Misaki and Aichi about something strange happen.
"Have you guys...you know been having a strange feeling about something?" Shin asked two of them. But both Misaki and Aichi just shook their head. Shin was curious on what he forgot. He pokes his forehead trying to remember, but in the end he forgot about it and switches place with Misaki and took over the counter.
"Wow this girl is truly strong!" Kamui commented Nishi's playstyle as she still was playing with Naoki.
"Agh...what's with these Bermuda Triangle. I know it gives me advantage with Tempest bolt Dragon's skill, but with the bounce effect with Bermuda give you shield and prevents me to retire them" Naoki explained.
"Seems like you figured my play style against your Narukami" Nishi laughs and once again wins against Naoki once more. Nishi jumps excited as her little sister Mai was watching. Few minutes later Emi enters the shop and sees Mai next to Nishi. Greeting her as they both have their own card fight.
For some reason the place was quiet and less costumer than usual. Misaki wasn't at work because of an incident that happen the other day. Naoki got weird vibes when he thought about that day. Naoki walks over to the manager that was goofing around the computer.
"Yo old man. Have you any idea where the others are? Except for Aichi, Shingo and Kourin?" Naoki asked, cause the fight against Yamazaki gave him visions of two unknown figures he knew about but for some reason remembers.
"Hmm? You're the only people I know that usually here." Shin said casually like it was nothing weird. Naoki was sure something wasn't right. He walks over to Aichi and Kourin to talk about this feeling he's been having this morning. Both of Aichi and Kourin didn't have no any idea what he was talking about. Nishi walks over to Naoki smiling at him.
"Is there something matter?" Nishi asked Naoki and wraps her arms around Naoki's right arm. He wasn't finish talking to Shin, and askes about Misaki, cause she hasn't been in school the other days after the incident. Shin explains that she had a horrible headache after the match, and had to get a little treatment at the hospital. Naoki sighs and walks where Mai and Emi has their cardfight.
~The next day~
Day passes by the next day, it was Saturday. The doctors and the nurses were working dayly to give their patient the treatment they need at the hospital. Misaki was in one of these rooms and was placed there from an extrem headache. The doctors have been asking her questions about if it happen before, but the questions was given unanswered and left behind. Misaki was still there laying on the bed looking down at her Genesis deck, as she thought back to the incident that happen with her.
"First the Shadow, and now that guy...does this bring any connection?" Misaki thought.
Her mind was replaying what happen to her these two events. Thinking about those two things that even said the same thing to her.
"Are you a...strong fighter?" was the word that kept repeating inside of her head.
"It is a shame that you don't remember anything, even your memories must been erased since that 'time'" Misaki thought about what Yamazaki was talking about.
"You still hasn't figured it yet, huh? The reason why you were using this deck. If you really had the greatest memories, then you should knew why this deck was important for you!" was the last words she kept repeating inside of her mind. Misaki knew why the deck was imporant to her.
"Excuse me, Miss Tokura?" a Nurse called out Misaki's name as she enters the room and walks right next to her bed. The nurse offers her some breakfast and some juice. But Misaki quickly refuses it kindly. Shortly the nurse walks out of the room and get stopped by someone.
"Sorry...I was just going to visit this person" a gently voice could be heard. But it wasn't like any other Misaki have heard. It was a male, around Misaki's age enters her room with some basket of fruit.
"I-It can't be...Yamazaki" Misaki called out. But it was something weird with him. His clothing style was way different and his look was less scarier than the other day. But still his face reminds the same. No emtion or anything sign of happinese. Misaki was first shocked at first, but she quickly calms down. She opens her mouth and says.
"I remember" Misaki said. Yamazaki gasp lowly with a surprise. He walks closer to Misaki and places down the basket as he takes a seat on the closes chair he could find. Yamazaki looked still scary cause of his emotions. Yamazaki explains about everything in the passed about him right after the invasion from the mysterious clan that made him like this. Misaki was furious cause as they were destroyed by Aichi they shouldn't be more about them. But Yamazaki continues to explain about why his emotions was sealed.
"I want everyone to remember... they must... or I will remained locked forever... you have to remember... Toshiki Kai" Yamazaki explaied, but the real shocker was hearing Kai's name. Misaki didn't understand as she shook her head from confusion.
"I know my parents made me the Oracle think tank deck, but what does this have to do with Kai?" Misaki asked. Yamazaki just closed his eyes like he was sleeping, but he was just in deep thoughts about the truth.
"Why do you think Aichi became this strong? And why do you think Naoki keep getting strong using the Narukami?...there are questions unanswered for many other from Team Q4, and I will make sure they remember" Yamazaki said and explains different view of his visions.
"The day when the invaders were destroyed someone elses soul became locked, it was suppose to make the one who were controlled by the void become free. But unlike me, my heart is locked and can't show emotions or happiness." Yamazaki continues with his dramatic talking.
"As the black ring disappeares the soul that kai holds disappears within the ring, and the memories about him. But it seems some of our other memories was taken away. But the real question is...does anyone else remember?" Yamazaki finishes his talk with Misaki.
"Yamazaki...You were the guy I used to play with before...but you never came back to play with us in the card shop" Misaki remembered as Yamazaki was heading out of the room. He gasp as she does really remember.
"And when you visit...you don't stop right next to the counter and greet me, you just went inside and walked away" Misaki said with a sad tone. It was like she was hinting on something. But Yamazaki's locked heart couldn't understand anything she was saying.
"I'm sorry..." was the only words that came out of Yamazaki's mouth as he walks away. Few minutes later right after Yamazaki leaves Naoki, Aichi, Kourin, Nishi and Shingo comes to visit Misaki to see how she's doing. And of course after the talk with Yamazaki, she felt even better to have her memories back that was once taken away.
"Thank you..." was the words Misaki had in her mind. Misaki faces the others and gives them a smile as the others looks around in the fruit basket.
"Look, Look, Look! It's a deck box, Misaki" Nishi was calling out to Misaki as there was a green deck box inside. Misaki smiles and happily accepts it and takes the box and huggles it closer to her. The tears slowly rans down on her cheeks. The other from the Cardfight club comforts her as Naoki takes a bite on the apple from the fruit basket.
"I like the green ones better." He said.
In a dark space where no one could ever live was a platform flying around. It had a kind of pattern as five different kind of pillars were standing circle around Yamazaki, but this time with his scary looking coat. The platform also had a throne right in the middle of the platform.
"I see you're been having your fun with other people's memories" A voice were heard on top of one of the pillars. The voice scolds Yamazaki with harshful words and even calling him names.
"Woah woah woah! Relax with those kind of words, I'm sure Yamazaki wasn't meant to do anything it" a voice from the other side of the pillar could be heard. The two voices were shouting at each other for a bit as the leader walks out of the dark and takes a seat on his throne.
"You know... even how many times you try, the memories won't return. And your heart will still be locked away with your happiness and emotion in the grasp of my hand" a playful laughter was been followed after the sentence. But Yamazaki stood there like none of the words effects him.
"Still your plan on a second invation won't be happening as long I'm here" Yamazaki said with a cold look in his eyes as he stares at the leader. A laughter once again came out of the leader's mouth. Yamazaki turns his back and walks away. One of the Pillar crashes down before Yamazaki.
"Letting you go away like this is unacceptable." a dark voice was calling for Yamazaki. The big guy was standing on top of the fallen Pillar and takes out a deck of his from his pocket.
"A traitor like you should know his place." He said with a grin, but Yamazaki walks passed him and climbs over the fallen pillar like it was nothing. The big guy shouts at him as Yamazaki walks.
"Your dimension police should already know that I'm not your true rival. You should find someone else who can have some fun with your Robots." Yamazaki said hinting about someone else would be a better match for him.
"I like to see who that might be..." The big guy said.
"Oh by the way...I'm not going to be part of this group anymore. I'm on my own...and when ever the time comes, I'll bring you back to justice" he raises his hand with a deck on his hand showing off his boss vanguard.
"Heh...Your Enigman aren't even suitable to fight against my Metalborgs. Unless you're like the Emperor with his strong Robo of true justice!" The big guy laughs with his arm crossed.
"The emperor..." Yamazaki whispers to himself and leaves the platform with a teleporte, as it leaves him somewhere else in the woods.
"Why aren't you stopping him?" another voice came from behind of the throne. The face of the leader grins.
"This goes according to plan" he said and relaxes on the throne.
In the card shop everything is lively again as Misaki finally comes back from the hospital. Everyone greets her, everyone from Miyaji accademy and the Hitsue high school. Shin comes inside the shop with new package of cards and notices the deck box she was holding.
"Oh wow is that-.." before Shin were able to finish asking the question Misaki nods to Shin and takes out her deck. She tells everyone it was a mysterious deck she recieved from someone at the hospital, but she knew who it was.
"I will help to unlock your heart...I owe you." Misaki thought and walks over to a fighting table.
"Now how wants to fight my new Oracle think tank!" Misaki shouts all over the whole card shop and prepares for anyone who wants to fight against her.
Shin in the other hand was been ignored and walks behind the counter and while everyone is busy cardfighting Shin takes his time to take a good look at the deck Yamazaki made together with him in the past. He smiles to himself and rememberes as well.
"Your heart will soon be unlocked. Thank you, for showing Misaki her true feelings for playing Vanguard. We owe you" Shin thought as it was like he requested to help Misaki from the beginning.
As the story continues the plot gets thicker.
Who are those people that Yamazaki met up with.
And will Yamazaki's locked heart be unlocked.
Will Nishi and Naoki ever go out together?
And what with Shin and this deck? Does he play too?!

Writers note: I just realize I did a confusing mistake with the first part and the second part. So I hope that's all clear and not confusing for you readers.
I also will appreciate some reviews if there something that confuses you guys. But if you guys are going to say anything about my grammar or the weird sentences, it's already been told because English isn't my first language.
