Me: Kourin x Aichi. Request from Guest. Aichi's the prince and Kourin's the princess. Sleeping Beauty. Yeah I really had no idea for this but I wanted to do something! AU, but if I had to put it in Vanguard canon terms, this is a sorta mix of Season 1 and Season 3, due to the personalities and decks of them.

Astral: She's calling this AiKou…. We do not own vanguard. Please just get on with it.

Me: Kay kay then! Kourin's a bit OOC in this though, I tried!

The first thing Kourin saw in a hundred years when she opened her eyes was a blue-haired boy, around her age, facing away from her and seeming to be panicking.

"Oh I don't think I did it right! Why isn't the princess waking up?! I did something wrong, I knew it! I should have listened to Morikawa!" She heard him panic, burrowing his face in his hands.

"Um, excuse me?" Kourin sat up, leaning on one hand and studying him. "Are you the prince sent to rescue me?"

Aichi turned around and stared. "Y-You woke up!" He yelled in surprise.

"Yeah. I'm supposed to." This prince was weird. "And you woke me up, right?"

Aichi nodded slowly. "Uh huh, I'm the one who kissed you on the lips…." His face turned red and he began panicking to himself again. "I kissed a girl! Oh no oh no oh no I kissed a girl!"

"Please calm down." Kourin sighed. Aichi looked at her, his face still red. "I'm Tatsunagi Kourin of the Jewel Knights. And you are?"

"S-Sendou A-Aichi… From the Liberators…." Aichi stumbled over his words.

"Well then, A-Aichi," She teased, "aren't you going to do something cool or heroic? Or say anything?"

"N-Not really…" Aichi mumbled. "I'm not really good with that stuff, even though Emi and Misaki-san quizzed me on it a ton of times."

And now she had to marry this dude. Great. Just great. A shy, stumbling blue-haired kid. Great. "Well then, let's see what you've got." She shrugged. "I haven't had anything to do for a hundred years, so anything at all would be nice right now."

Aichi looked at her, his face turning red again. "S-Sure." He took a deep breath, then got down on one knee. "Princess Kourin, I have journeyed a long way to meet you. By defeating the dragon guarding the castle, I have freed you and your kingdom from its reign. By waking you from your slumber, I have freed you and your kingdom from the spell down by the evil wizard. Please let us join together so that our kingdoms may live in harmony by getting ma, ma, m-m-m…." He stuttered on the last word over and over, his face nearly burning up from how red it was now. "Ah I can't do this I'm sorry!"

He looked up in surprise when he heard Kourin chuckle, then laugh. Soon Kourin was rolling around on the bed she had been sleeping on for a hundred years in laughter, holding her stomach with a confused Aichi staring at her. Eventually, Kourin sat up again, wiping away some tears of laughter still left in her eyes. This prince was hilarious.

"That, was a great thing to wake up to." She said. "You should do that more often!"

"Uh…" Aichi nodded dumbly, not sure what to reply. Kourin smiled.

"Well, I appreciate your efforts for coming this far for my sake. You defeated the dragon?" She asked, not quite sure if this boy was able to.

"Yeah." Aichi nodded. "It was tough…. The Phantom Blaster Dragon was scary… and the wizard was really scary…"

"But you defeated them."

"Yeah…" Aichi nodded. "With Blaster Blade."

"You have Blaster Blade?" Kourin raised an eyebrow, suddenly more interesting. If this kid had Blaster Blade, then that meant he actually wasn't that bad. Aichi nodded again.

"It's my favourite weapon from the Liberators." Aichi said. There was an awkward silence between then before Aichi spoke again. "Kourin-san, what are you going to do then, now that you've woken up and all. What will you do from now on then?"

"What will I do, good question…" Kourin looked out the window, then back at Aichi and smiled. "Well, there's lots of time to think about that after the wedding."

Aichi's face turned red again. "W-W-W-Wha?"

"We get married, then we can talk about the future. For now, the marriage is the future." Kourin said, picking at a knot in her long hair.

"W-W-We a-are?"

"You just proposed to me." Kourin said, making Aichi's face flush again. "And, well, I guess my answer is yes. So yes, we are getting married then. Plus you kissed me, so that basically makes it official. Is there a problem with that?" She leaned towards him, making him back up.

"N-No, there isn't!" Aichi said quickly, and Kourin settled back into a sitting position on the bed, satisfied. "But are you sure you're okay with it?"

"You did defeat the dragon and the wizard, plus you aren't all that bad looking," Aichi's face got redder at that comment, "and you seem really cute and sweet. I don't have any problems."

"C-Cute?"

"Think of it this way. I could have gotten someone way worse. You're actually not that bad, compared the suitors I've had before." Kourin stretched out her stiff spine, then stood up and took his hand. "Thank you, Prince Aichi for coming to my rescue and saving my kingdom. I, Tatsunagi Kourin, from the Jewel Knights, formally accept this proposal from Sendou Aichi of the Liberators for us to join kingdoms and live together in harmony. There, it's official. Done deal."

Aichi blinked. "Yeah…. W-Well, thank you for accepting, Kourin-san."

"Please don't call me Kourin-san." Kourin sighed. "Just Kourin is fine."

Aichi smiled at her. "Thank you for accepting, Kourin!"

They stood there for a while, before Aichi looked down, and then back at her face. "Kourin, you're still holding onto my hand."

"Oh! Sorry!" Kourin dropped Aichi's hand, then backed away, sitting back on the bed. She looked at him, who looked at her back with a 'what now' face. "Well? You can't just stay! I'm still only wearing my night clothes! Get out of my room so I can change into something proper!"

"O-Oh, yes!" Aichi ran out of the room, leaving Kourin to herself. Kourin sighed.

She felt her lips. Her first kiss, and she hadn't even been conscious to feel it. Well that sucked. But at least the prince seemed understanding about it. He had a nice smile...

Not bad, Sendou Aichi. Not bad at all.

Me: Well, I sure am slacking off for these. Needa get my head back into my game...

Astral: And then slack off and do something else.

Me: Yup! Bye!
