SailorStar9: With Chapter 12 uploaded, this is Chapter 13 of this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.

Pairings: Kai/Ami

Standard BS Disclaimers: Sailor Moon and Cardfight! Vanguard belong to Takeuchi-sensei and Bushiroad respectively. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except the pairing and the fic idea.

Chapter 13: Beginning of Halcyon Days

Kai was already on the move even before the red arrow was fired. Grabbing Ami's upper arm, he pulled her into him, allowing her to fall limp into his arms.

The Link Joker seed that had been extracted from Harmonia's body was hovering within a blood-red bubble, said bubble then melting off to reveal the daunting aura of Link Joker.

It was at this point, Aichi acted. "Stand up, my avatar, Blaster Blade Seeker!" he summoned the Royal Paladin.

"You, who would destroy the world." Blaster Blade Seeker readied his blade. "Be accepted by forgiveness and resolve. By Queen Isis' Will, become a member of the world you tried to destroy." a single slash split the seed into half. The subsequent sword slashes split the seed into even smaller shards, with nine shards entering everyone else's bodies and the rest flying off to Earth.

"Is Link Joker gone?" Aichi looked at his avatar unit.

"There's no way to destroy Link Joker, my Vanguard." Blaster Blade Seeker informed him. "The seed was split into pieces, which now reside in the bodies of fighters who possess forgiveness and resolve. The power of each individual silver is weak, so they won't easily be able to control their fighter host. Also, my sword gave the seed a new property; when a fighter who hosts a seed goes up against another fighter, if that other fighter also possesses forgiveness and resolve, the seed will split again and enter the body of that opponent. As the silvers of the seed keep splitting up, their power and desire to invade will grow fainter. And then, one day, the Link Joker seed will live within all the fighters. This was the last task Queen Isis left for her reincarnation to accomplish; it had always been Queen Isis' wish for Link Joker to be accepted as a new clan on Cray. Queen Isis always did have a magnanimous heart. "

"When will that day come?" even Gaillard was amazed.

"I can't wait." Ratie gushed.

"In the history of Cray, there have been many experiences like that." Blaster Blade Seeker added. "Where battles have brought about the acceptance of new clans: Cray is as strong as its Queen's Will." with that, he vanished.

"The long dream is over." Kai remarked, with Ami in his arms. "It's all over."

"She fell asleep again..." Ren deathpanned. "This always happens."

With the entire Link Joker fiasco finally over, life returned to normal.

Well, not everything apparently...

"You're a moron, Kai." Miwa cast a withering look at his best friend.

"Miwa..." Kai growled a warning. "Not helping."

"No, really." the blond insisted. "I have full gloating rights on this one, Kai. You're the biggest idiot in the world." ignoring the cashier's confused look, he pressed. "How could you? He..." at this point, Miwa turned to the amused register girl. "Can you believe this..."

"Miwa!" Kai tried to silence the blond.

"Forgot their anniversary!" several other High School girls in the gift shop gasped in shock, giving the shamed Kagero user a destroying glare of rage.

"She could have reminded me." Kai protested.

"She did." Miwa stated flatly. "You were just too busy fighting Kamui to remember."

Huffing a groan in frustration, Kai stormed over to the gift section.

"For Kami's sake, no!" a pair of girls nearby hissed. "Don't get her flowers! It just screams 'I couldn't be arsed'!"

Meanwhile, at Card Capital...

"He didn't!" Misaki gasped, not quite believing Kai could commit such a dating faux paux.

"He did!" Ami nodded.

Overhearing the girls' conversation, Shin echoed in disbelief, "Seriously?"

"I even reminded him and everything, but I guess he's too busy fighting Kamui." Ami shrugged. "And to think I was all 'Anything planned later?'during lunchtime and he just gave me this blank look. So, I prompted some more, 'You know. Later. Date?' and he just looked at me and was like 'Cardfight?'"

"Then, why are you still dating him?" Misaki wondered.

Ami just shrugged.

A pair of pink and white carnations were thrust in Ami's face.

"Here." Kai muttered, looking away to hide his embarrassed blush.

"I'm actually surprised you know what these two carnations mean." Misaki was amazed. "You're unexpectedly delicate, aren't you?"

"Right?" Miwa grinned.

"Miwa..." Kai warned.

"You're forgiven." Ami sighed. "I suppose I should've been used to this by now."
