Sorry to keep you waiting guys! I've been stressing about my exams lately. So please enjoy the chapter.
"Are we there yet?," Morikawa groaned impatiently.
" Not yet. It would be nice if you keep it down," Misaki told him sternly.
" But Misaki, we've been driving for 3 hours…and nothing ahead of us but forest and more forest!," Morikawa argued.
" We're almost there guys, I'll let you know when we arrive," Shin said adjusting his glasses as he drive. Morikawa was about to argue again but stopped when he saw Misaki's angry bad mood expression.
About 20 minutes later, they finally stopped in front of the big luxurious cabin with Ren, Asaka and Tetsu waited at the doorstop.
" OMG, that's Team Asteroid in real life!," Kasumi let out a shrieked of happiness and made her way out of the van by shoving Miwa and Kai out of her way. She always saw Team Asteroid on tv but this time, it's real as if in flesh and blood.
" Konichiwa! I'm Kasumi Oichikawa. I'm one of your biggest fan," she said excitedly grabbing Ren's hand and shook it. ' Hehe…I finally shook his hand,' she thought.
" It's nice to meet you Kasumi…It's always a pleasure to meet a new Card fighter like you," Ren replied with a smile. Kasumi nodded and turn her attention to Asaka.
" Wahhh Asaka-san, you look more kawaii in real life," Kasumi commented with a smile. Asaka blushed and looked away feeling extremly shy. She just said that in front of Ren. It's embarasing for her.
" Ye-yeah..thanks," she replied shyly. Kasumi giggled and looked at Tetsu. She was about to said something until when she felt an angry aura behind her.
" We're here to train not fangirling around!," Kai interrupted and throws two heavy-looking bags to Kasumi.
" Wh-whoa! Watch where you throw it buster!," Kasumi said as she tried to catch the luggage. She lost her footing while trying to catch two bags at the same time and lost her balance. Luckily, Tetsu was behind her and she leaned safely against him.
" That's your stuff isn't it? Do you expect me to carry it for you? Seriously, you left your stuff in the van and I have to carry it. It's so troublesome," Kai retorted in his mocking tune.
'Th-this guy!,' Kasumi thought angrily as two angry nerve appeared on her forehead.
" My…my…this is surprising," Ren commented while clapping his hands. Kasumi and Kai stop glaring at each other and looked at him.
" This is the first time Kai actually take his interest in a girl before. He even offered to carry her luggage that she left," Ren said happily winking at Kai.
" I don't know what you talking about,"Kai snapped harshly as his cheeks turned red. " Why would I interested with this barbaric woman anyway. She's not even worth my time."
Kasumi felt like thousands of rocks falling on her when she heard that. "Hoho..excuse me for my habits of fighting. At least I'm not a Mr Snappy Pants like you," Kasumi replied.
" Tch! You not even worth arguing," Kai replied coldly.
" What's wrong, you're out of words already? How fast…looks like I win," Kasumi smirked.
" Who said you're winning? I just said you not even worth arguing," Kai told her as he felt annoyed. Normally, he would keep his cool and stayed reserve as possible when anyone argues with him. But to this girl, Kasumi….? He didn't even know why he's out of his character all the sudden.
" Now…now…save your lover fights for later…you're making a scene here. As much as I enjoy your fights, you guys should stop and settle down," Ren interrupted with his gentle and calm voice as he's standing between them.
" We're not lovers!," Kai and Kasumi said at the same time. Then, both of them looked away from each other and entered the cabin at the same time.
" Man, I wish I can record this," Miwa said with a sigh. " It's really fun to watch Kai like that. Kasumi-chan is the only person who can make Kai spoke that much."
Kasumi shared the same room with Misaki and Emi. There were three comfortable looking bed, a television set and soft carpet in the room. There's also one big window next to television set decorated with purple curtains and three wooden cupboard leaning side by side against the wall.
' Geez….how am I supposed to be nice to Kai when we keep on arguing? I really want to know him better,' Kasumi thought as she started unpacking. ' I guess it's my fault for all the arguments we had so far. I should apologise sooner or later.'
" Let me guess, you're thinking about Kai again right?," Misaki smirked disrupting her day dreaming.
" Ah..ummm…of course not!," Kasumi retorted and looked away from Misaki with her cheek turns bright red.
' You're way too easy to read. What did you see in Kai anyway?,' Misaki thought after reading Kasumi's reaction.
Meanwhile in the other room a.k.a boys' room, Kai, Aichi and Miwa were unpacking as well. Their room was almost similar to the girls.
" Ne…Kai, what didn't you keep your cool when your argued with Kasumi-chan just now," Miwa teased him.
Kai didn't said a word and acted as if he didn't hear him. He kept on folding his clothes and placed them in the cupboard.
" I guess Kasumi-chan is the first girl that you fond off…I mean she's the only girl can be this close to you," Miwa said again. A nerve of anger appeared on Kai's forehead when he heard that but he still remained calm and expressionless.
" Now to think about it, Kai does act different around Kasumi-san," Aichi agreed.
" I don't know what you two are talking about," Kai hissed impatiently. He slammed his cupboard shut and walked out of the room. Just when he was about go outside, he was stopped by Ren.
" Yo Kai! It's been a while since that day huh?," Ren greeted him playfully. Kai sighed and looked at him with one of his serious expression.
" What do you want Ren? I'm not in the mood to talk about that day and the old days," Kai said coldly.
" Oh come on Kai…if you didn't want to talk, how about we just play instead," Ren grinned walking out his deck.
" Fine by me….," Kai nodded and took out his Kagero deck. Both of them walked to a nearby table and started to settle their decks.
" Now! Stand up the Vanguard!," they both said at the same time.
" Lizard Runner Undu!," Kai announced.
" Fullbau!,"Ren said as he draw one card from his deck. " I'll go first like I'll always did Kai."
" Sure…..," Kai said calmly.
