Hi there readers! I'm back with a new chapter today and it involves mostly scenes in episode 51 and 52 in cardfight vanguard! Now may I present to you chapter 2!

Aichi's POV

"Tadaima"

"Ara okairi, Aichi" my mom said to me with a smile

"How was your day at your friend's house? I mean you were gone for 9 days after all." When I heard my mom asked this question my sweat dropped because time here in my world goes faster than their world. It's like if you had gone there for only 1 day, in my world 3 days will immediately pass and I had only stayed there for 3 days after all..

" Yeah, it was fun there and I was able to relax for once." I said to her with a smile

" Well, I'm going into my room now"

"Ok"

I went into my room but….

" I need to go and apologize to them for how I treated them but I'm sure they don't need me anymore, not after how I treated them at Regionals…."

" Maybe I should just stick with AKB0048 and sing and dance with them just like how they asked me to." I thought to myself

Just when I was about to put my Royal Paladin deck into my drawer, I decided to look at Blaster Blade once more before I keep the deck inside the drawer so as to seal my feelings of cardfighting inside them. But then, I had a sudden urge to get up and run out of the house, to Card Capital, to apologize to them of my behavior towards them at Regionals.

I got up from my desk, took my deck with me and immediately wore my shoes in a haste but almost tripping over myself in the result of rushing.

"Aichi? Where are you going?"

"Sorry mom, I got something important that I have to do."

I ran out of the house immediately with my deck in my hand.

"You really have grown up, Aichi. Iterashaii."

After looking at Blaster Blade, I finally realized what I have to do, no, what I must do!

I am standing outside Card Capital ready to go in.

"Take deep breaths….. and exhale them…." I thought to myself to calm myself down.

I took one step at the entrance of the shop and it started to slide open. I am ready to say it out now.

But when the door fully opened I realized that the shop was having a shop tournament, and then they suddenly popped up in front of me.

"Onii-san! I see that you came for the shop tournament! So let's do this bro!" Kamui-kun ….like Yuuko-san in any other way but luckily doesn't cling onto people like her.

"Here's the form for you to join the shop tournament." Misaki-san kindly told me, when she is supposed to be mad at me…

"O..k.." I filled up the form and I wanted to start to say something, to apologize to them.

But of all people to interrupt, it was the new ninja master M( Morikawa) challenging Miwa to a cardfight but forgetting his "strongest deck" from home… Manager lend him a trial deck but he said

"I do not want to use your weak deck so instead I will ask my discipline, Morikawa, to take my place and use it instead… Morikawa, where is that handsome looking student I have? Morikawaaaa…" my sweat dropped at that point but what I can't believe is how fast Morikawa-kun takes off his ninja outfit…

" Now that I am here, let's begin this battle!"

" Stand Up, Vanguard!" they both said in unison

While Kamui-kun was explaining to me about how this shop tournament is going like how it is separated into two divisions, the junior division, mostly elementary students and the senior division, where everyone can play in. When I asked Kamui-kun whether he is in the junior divison(because he is an elementary student too) he said no because no one is an interesting match for him, that was when I heard a familiar voice at the junior division.

"Emi!"

" What?! Where?!" Kamui-kun asked while turning his head frantically looking left and right.

"Right there, at the table. You mean you didn't notice?" I asked him

" No, because I'm too short to see." I guess that is true

"Hey, it's The Great Kamui!"

"ITGK, yo!" when I turned around to see who called it was Reiji and Eiji.

They are in the junior division just like Emi. Of course, Kamui-kun gave them a warning to stay away from Emi. There was another thing I'm impressed with Morikawa-kun, whenever he uses a deck that has a perfect balance, he is unbeatable, I guess using his "strongest deck" makes him weaker because it is mostly made up of Grade 3s.

" Now this is the 3rd match that I have won against you Isaki! Now… who's next? Aichi! You and me cardfight to see who is the strongest now!" he shouted and pointed at me

"Wh-What?! But I don't-"

Before I could finish my sentence, he was already starting to get real arrogant so in the end I took up his match.

" Stand Up, Vanguard!"

My head wasn't in the game at all so in the end I lost to Morikawa-kun after he rode Gold Rutile.

After the match, I just stood at the counter watching everyone battle with a big smile on their face except for Morikawa-kun, his face was getting very scary.

" It's amazing seeing everyone having so much fun…. Vanguard is a great game and it's even better if you share it with friends… I was so focused on winning that I forgot how much I loved to cardfight… but…"

"I still must fulfill my duty for AKB0048 as their member, as their combat instructor, as an original member, as a staff that serve Sensei-Sensei and finally, as a Center Nova and Dimensional Nova…"

After some time…

Morikawa-kun is already the first runner-up for the senior division while Emi is the first runner-up for the junior division. I was really impressed on how my sister is improving in her cardfighting skills especially since she has just started playing Vanguard not long ago..

We went to the counter together and I finally said I out, my apology…

I bowed and said " Sorry, I am really awful about the way I treated you guys at the Regionals…"

" Cheer up bro, we're just happy to have the old you back" Thanks Kamui-kun but…

" For sure" Misaki-san added

" I know, but…"

"Cut yourself some slack" Manager added

"But.."

"The only thing that matters now is that you have some fun alright?"

"Yeah come on, you still owe me a match" Kamui added

I began to tear up... not just because about how i treated them but how they forgive me and forget about it.

"Welcome back" Misaki added to cheer me up and put her hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks you guys" I said smiling

Manager recommended for Q4 minus Kai-kun to improve our decks using the newly arrived booster packs, we modified them a little here and there when Kamui-kun had a little trouble with his deck when suddenly Kai-kun came behind him and giving him advice, for all I know that is not his style but I'm glad for both of them, they are having so much fun, I accepted Misaki-san's offer to cardfight with her to test out her new deck.

"After tomorrow is the Finals huh?" I thought to myself

"And the day after that I have to go back to Akibastar again to help them…" I thought to myself

" Stop daydreaming" Oh, I forgot I was still battling Misaki-san

"Sorry, let's continue"

After some time…(sorry guys I don't feel like filling in the whole shop tournament details)

"And the first runner-up for the junior division is Emi Sendou! Please give her a round of applause everyone!" Manager announced

"And finally, the first runner-up for the senior division is Morikawa Katsumi!"

"Now, Morikawa, can I have the trial deck that I lent you back?"he asked Morikawa

"Sure- Hmmmmm, on second thought I'll buy it instead! Thanks Manager!" And with that he left

After the shop has cleared out, everyone in Team Q4 decided to go back home for some rest from this long day.

"Well Emi you want to go back home too?" I asked Emi

"Sure! Bye Misaki-san and Manager!" the both of us waved and said(since they are the only ones left in the shop)(the others had already went back home.)

"Bye!" Misaki-san and Manager waved back and said

The next day...

" What?! How could I have lost?!" That was Morikawa screaming after Misaki-san defeated him in a cardfight.

"Sigh... He never learns, does he?" Kamui-kun commented

"Well, Morikawa-kun is Morikawa-kun after all" My sweat dropped though

" How could i have lost?! I even put the ultimate Grade 3 that I used yesterday too!" Figures, the reason why he bought that deck yesterday...

"Oh well, he'll never change because he is Morikawa-kun" I said with a smile

" I have to agree with that. Well, bro, wanna challenge me to a cardfight? Remember you still owe me one after all" Kamui-kun asked

"Ok!" I accepted his challenge

" Stand Up! Vanguard!" We said in unison
