Me: HEY GUYS! I'm gunna start using pov and see how it turns out, k?
Sarah: What does pov stand for?
Me: It means point of view, geez Sarah.
Tara: Let's get to the story before they start fighting, cause I can already see sparks in the air. Emily does not own Cardfight Vanguard.
In the last chapter:
Everyone was sitting down for breakfast which to everyone's discomfort, except Ai, Kamui, and Emi, was curry yet again. Every one went down to the beach and started relaxing. Kamui started his "Training camp."
"Kamui," Ai towered above them yet again with a fake smile on her face, "what do you think your doing to my dear, dear, Aichi?"
Ai was wearing a white bikini with a pink heart on the right top side. She left her hair down and it was up to her waist. She was also wearing the necklace that Aichi gave her for Christmas. She hadn't taken it off since.
"We can do more training later, right now we have to enjoy out time at the beach." she scolded them.
After a morning of relaxation, everyone went inside for lunch, which was noodles, and started to train with new decks they built. We had a lot of fun on our weekend at the beach. Morikawa realized he didn't get to go swimming on our way home and said something about fate mocking him.
Chapter 10: Underground Cardfights
Aichi's POV
Kai hadn't been here all week and I was starting to worry about him.
"Have you seen Ai, Aichi?" Tama asked us.
"No, not today."
"She would have been here right now…" Suri said.
Ai's POV
Miwa and I saw Kai heading down some alleys and being his best friend and little sister, we decided to follow him.
"Wow, love what you've done with the place… creepy." Miwa said as we walked past some rundown buildings, "I got a really bad feeling about what waits for us down this alley."
Unlike Miwa, I kept quiet most of the way to wherever we were going. We heard some shouting up ahead and ran over to see what it was.
"What's this?" Miwa asked.
"I don't know." I replied. Everyone started to look at us.
"Don't mind me; I'm just looking for my lost puppy!" Miwa lied.
"Yeah, it was chasing my little kitty." Better just play along
We heard an unfamiliar voice, "You're mine!"
Miwa and I saw Kai was about to battle against someone.
"What's going on?" I asked.
They put down their decks and started to fight. I had heard about these fights. No one here followed any of the rules in Vanguard. They all cheated one way or another.
"When I win, I'm taking that deck of yours, because in an underground you gotta put something on the line." The guy he was battling explained.
"This is dangerous, what are you thinking Kai?!" Miwa whispered.
"That's fine, because I'm not gunna let you win." Kai replied.
'What have you gotten yourself into, Kai?' I thought to myself.
-After the fight-
"You stacked you deck and snuck a card in from your pocket. And even still, you weren't able to beat me." Kai said.
"That's Kai for you, noticed all that cheating, but destroyed the guy anyway." I said.
"Here's the deal, I beat you, now bring Jun out to face me." Kai demanded.
"Not on your life. You can't just demand to see the king." the guy said, "Besides, me and my boys have something more entertaining planned for you."
Some thugs started to surround Kai. Without thinking, I ran out in front of him.
"You lay a finger on him, and you will pay." I hissed.
"And what's a little lady like you gunna do?"
"I'm not little, I'm fourteen."
"Hold it!" Miwa stepped in, "Gentlemen, gentlemen," I hissed, "and lady, that's enough!"
"And who are you?" the supposed leader asked.
"My name is Miwa, I came along with Kai and Ai"
"What do I care."
"You should leave this guy alone if you value you life, Ai is a black belt in karate and a master of judo, and Kai's connected if you catch my drift."
"Hey, wait, they totally look like the police commissioner's kids and they probably got a squad of cops watching them. My mom said if I get arrested again she's canceling my allowance."
Miwa pushed us away. "Do us a favor and stay away from that place." Miwa told Kai.
"I'll go where I want to. Kai replied.
"This is about Ren, huh?" Miwa asked. Kai and I both stopped.
"Hardly," Kai said. We continued walking.
"Oh, come on man, its obvious you're thinking about him." I tried to reason with him.
"Can't say I'd blame you after seeing his amazing performance at nationals." Miwa said.
Miwa turned to go back to the place where he had that cardfight and I followed knowing he would get himself into trouble.
"We came here to talk to June." he said.
"Hey, it's those kids from earlier, you little punks!" the guy that fought Kai shouted.
"What's your business with the king." another man inquired.
"I want you to leave Kai alone if he's foolish enough to come back." Miwa replied.
"Say what?!"
"I'm begging you."
"You just made this too easy."
-Mini-Time Skip-
We saw Kai walk in.
"Miwa, Ai!" Kai glared at us.
"I'm sorry about this." Miwa apologized. He was chained to a pole, but that didn't mean I was.
"And why is Ai here too?"
"You really think I would leave this pinhead?" I lightly hit the side of Miwa's head.
Flashback
They had chained Miwa to the basket ball pole and turned to me.
"You're up next." Jun said as he threw his chain at me.
I caught it in between my index and middle fingers. "I don't think so."
"How?!" Jun asked, everyone looked shocked.
"I'm a free spirit. You can't lock me up."
"And how do I know you won't leave?"
"Do you really think I'd leave that airhead here to fend for himself?"
"I like your attitude. You're pretty cute too, why don't you join me?"
"Let me remind you. I don't follow anyone. What I do is my decision and mine alone. Besides, I know my brother will come get the blockhead."
Flashback Ends
"Okay, that's enough of a reunion I think." Jun interrupted, "I heard you wanted an audience with me."
"So you're the king of underground cardfights?" Kai asked.
"That's right, I'm the one you want. What's it to you?"
"Give me back Ai and the idiot."
"I'm assuming I'm the idiot you're referring to." Miwa said.
"Yes, yes you are." I replied.
"Who else would I be talking about?" Kai stared to walk over to us.
"I deserved that." Miwa agreed.
Jun blocked Kai from coming closer with his "shackle," "I see you're unaware of how things work in this place. See, where you come from, everyone's afraid of breaking the rules. But in the underground, we do as we please and the strong survive. So, which world do you want to be a part of. Up there, you're only as good as the game lets you be. Here, we make our own strength. Now tell me that isn't appealing."
"I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else." Kai replied.
"You remind me of a caged bird Kai. You'll never reach your potential, unless you break free and spread your wings. Control what's below you and what's above will follow. You could have everything, if you agree to be my assistant."
"No thanks."
"Now that's the face of a man that trusts no one. I'm the same way. In fact the only thing I believe in is cardfighting. Cards don't lie, they don't cheat. You either win or lose, that's it, and down here, it's winner takes all. Beat me and you take you're friend and your sister, but you don't stand a chance. I can just picture it. You're all gunna belong to me from now on."
We were all strapped to a motion figure system.
"You think you're ready to take on the king of underground fights? Don't worry, I'll make sure you get the royal treatment"
"Now stand up, (the) Vanguard." they both said.
"You better beat him to a pulp or I'm never going to forgive you, Kai." I told him.
-After the battle-
"You said you were the best with the Dark Irregular's deck." Kai stated, "But, I know someone who's far better than you could ever hope to be."
"You… beat me." Jun murmured.
"Like you promised, give me the numbskull."
"I prefer idiot." Miwa complained. "Well I hope you enjoyed yourself because this is the last time I let you use me as bait."
"I dunno what you're talking about." Kai replied.
"Oh, whatever, you knew I was going to come back here and ask them to leave you alone. When I was taken, it played right into you hands."
"You're joking." Jun interrupted.
"Don't hold it against him. My brother has a weird way of doing things." I smiled.
"Are you bipolar? You we're about to rip my guts out a minute ago."
"I am not bipolar." I yelled.
"So how did you figure it out?" Kai asked Miwa.
"I say you smile before the match began." Miwa replied.
"But I never smile."
"Yeah, no kidding." I rolled my eyes and we all left for home.
Aichi's POV
"We've been waiting all day and Kai, Ai and Miwa are still not here!" Aichi asked.
"When can I go home. Tama and Suri already left and I'm so sleepy, bro." Kamui complained.
Me: So, how was it?
Ai: I am not bipolar! *pout*
Me: Tell that to Jun."
Aichi: Why weren't you guys at Card Capital?
Ai: Miwa was being a bonehead.
Miwa: I said I preferred idiot.
