Hey guys, sorry for being so lazy! Chapters 3 and 4 are now up, hope you enjoy it!

Aichi couldn't believe it. He was frozen in place as the two girls were waiting silently for his response .

'What should I do? What should I say?!'

His began to remember all the times he spent with them. Their time playing against each other, laughing, smiling.

"Aichi…?"

He looked to Kourin and Misaki, noting how worried they looked. What hurt him was look on Misaki's face. Her eyes were still puffy and red from crying. He doesn't want to hurt her nor Kourin.

"I… don't know what to say. This is a bit too much for me."

Misaki started at hiss stressed face. She felt a wave of guilt, knowing that she ruined Kourin's confession and put Aichi in a difficult situation.

"I understand… Maybe you should take some time to think things through."

Kourin though didn't want to wait. She already wanted an answer from him, but she knew he wouldn't be able to. "Yes, I think that would be for the best," she reluctantly agreed.

"Yeah, I guess I'll do that. I'll see you soon then."

He slowly walked to the door. Before leaving, he looked back at the two then closed the door behind him.

The atmosphere in the room was tense. The two girls didn't move from the spots, they couldn't look or speak to each other. Misaki's guilt was eating her up, she knew that she had betrayed her close friend.

'Why? Why did I do that?!'

Kourin made the first move as she made her way to the door. She didn't know what to say to Misaki and she just wanted out of this room. She stopped when she heard Misaki's voice.

"I'm...sorry…"

"It's okay."

"But I-!"

It's okay, really. If I were in your position, I'd probably do the same. After all…," she looked back at Misaki and smiled, "I wouldn't want to lose him either."

With that Kourin left, leaving Misaki all alone with her thoughts.

"Damn it! I lost again!"

It was lively at Card Capital. Everyone was having fun playing and having fun. Morikawa had just lost against Miwa again for the 4th time in a row today.

"Lost again huh? That's sad," Izaki laughed.

"Ugh, I was so close too!"

"Face it, I'm just too good for you," Miwa said smugly.

Morikawa grinded his teeth in frustration. "Oh yeah! You won't be so smug after I beat you! Once I do, you'll be crying at how badly I beat you!"

Miwa and Izaki grimaced at how loud he was, even Kai, who was watching, was beginning to get annoyed.

"Shut up already, you're too loud" Kai gritted.

Izaki agreed. "You're lucky Misaki isn't here, she would have kicked you out if she heard how loud you were."

"Is that so?"

Everyone turned to see a annoyed Misaki. The boys suddenly felt terror at the sight of the girl.

"Mi-Misaki, you're back early huh?"

"So this is what you boys do when I'm not around? I can hear you from outside the store." Her veins was starting to pop out of her forehead. They could feel her seething anger in the air.

"No no, we're just having a nice, quiet time playing cardfight. Right Kai?" Miwa turned to Kai only to find him trying not to even acknowledge the group's existence. Even he knows to not get on Misaki's bad side.

'Kai! Help me out here!'

Everyone expected the worst, but Misaki just sighed and said, "whatever, please just be quiet."

She walked away, leaving everyone surprised, but at the same time relieved.

"Think God she didn't get chew us out this time," Morikawa sighed.

Izaki agreed. "I think I had a near death experience."

Miwa felt as if something was off. Misaki was acting weird, she SHOULD have chewed them out. It sounds stupid to complain, but he can't help it. She is his friend after all.

Shin had entered the store carrying a box of cards when he noticed Misaki. "Oh hi Misaki! You're back early, what happened?"

"Hey Shin, club ended early today."

"I see. So did Aichi come with you? I don't see him anywhere."

Misaki felt flustered hearing his name. It's no wonder because of what happened not even a half a hour ago. "N-no, I think he went home, probably had something to," she said while nervously twirling her hair.

"That's to bad, it isn't the same not having him around."

"Yeah, I guess. Listen, I'm gonna be up in my room, please call me when you need me." She felt exhausted after the incident with Aichi and Kourin, she honestly wanted to be alone right now.

Shin knew she was acting weird, but decided to play it off. "Oh course, I'll call if I do."

She went upstairs to her room while replaying the whole scene at the club room in her head.

"Gaaaaaaaaahh! I'm such an idiot!" She flopped down onto her bed and buried her face in her bedsheets. "I walked up to him crying and spewing all that stuff about liking him. I'm so embarrassed!"

The memory when she hugged Aichi creeper into her mind. She slowing grabbed her pillow and wrapped her arms around it, remembering how he felt. She felt stupid for being too happy about that it.

But what did Aichi really think of her? She just confessed to him so suddenly that she didn't consider what he would say. Does he feel the same way about her or does he just think of her as a friend? Maybe she has to consider that he may had feeling for Kourin. Maybe she did mess up and it'll be too awkward now between them to be friends again. Now she almost dreaded his response.

But there's still that hope that he would return her feelings. Then he and she could maybe…

…

"Tch. I'm such a stupid girl…"
