"And..." Aichi tapping her foot, her arms crossed and her eyes closed "So this is what you call the urgent emergency" she come her eyes glaring at the two boys causing them to both flinched.
"C-Calm down Sakura sometimes we have to fight against different people" Naoki said
"Ishida is right Sakura-san. We tried to take you to Card Capital, but you decline every single one of our offer" Shingo said
Aichi sighed and looking at the building. The school sign said Histue High School 'This is not what I expected' Aichi thought
Flashback
An Hour Ago
Aichi finished her breakfast and started to watch tv with Fraise on her lap. She heard her phone ringing and saw Naoki was calling her.
'It's Naoki-kun why is he calling me' she thought and decided to answer it "Hello"
"SAKURA!" Naoki cried
Aichi pull back her phone away from her ear "N-Naoki what's wrong" she ask
"Sakura hurry up and come over" Naoki's voice sound urgent
"Where?" Aichi said
"Nearby Histue High School and don't forgot to wear your uniform" Naoki quickly said
"Uniform? Nao-" but Naoki hung up "Why do I need my uniform" she said "And Histue High?"
End of Flashback
"Explain why do have to lie to me about this" Aichi put her hands in her hips
"After we told everyone that you beat Leon the other day they decided to meet you" Shingo said
"But we thought you would decline so the only way is to trick you" Naoki said
"And why at Histue High School" Aichi ask
"You won't agree going to Card Capital" Naoki said
"But you don't have to force me to come here" Aichi said
"S-Sorry" they both said
"Any way I'm not fighting" Aichi began walking away
"Wait Sakura" Naoki grab her arm "You're not going anywhere"
"Yes" Shingo grab her other arm "I agree with Ishida"
"Wait" Aichi struggled but both of them put a strong grip on her arms "Naoki! Shingo!"
Both the boys began to pull her to the Motion Figure System building.
"Where are they, they're 30 minutes late" Misaki look at her watch
"Calm down née-chan, maybe she's a hand full" Miwa said
"Let me go" they heard Aichi's voice out the building
"And speaking of the devil" Miwa said
The door open, Naoki and Shingo appeared through the door pull Aichi in.
"Let go" Aichi struggle through their grips
'That girl' Kai remember Aichi when they bump into each other
"We told you to take her here and not grabbing her" Kourin said
Aichi grabbed both of their arms and flipped them. They landed in a loud thud and both groaned rubbing their backs.
"That's for pulling me too hard" Aichi crossed her arms
"Scary" the boys except Kai thought
Aichi glance to see Kai at the other end "Then I'll be leaving" Aichi walk towards the door
"Wait" Mark-sensei blocked her way "Since they took all their time getting you here just stay for a while"
Aichi sighed "I'll stay" she turn to the boys and pull them up "Next time never pull me, you got it"
"Yes" they said
Aichi walked next to Kourin and Misaki.
"Then" Mark-sensei cleared his throat "We can begin now. You all can decide who can begin"
"I'll go first and I choose" Kamui look at the Miyaji Acdemy club "... You" he pointed at Aichi
"Sorry I'm going to pass" Aichi said
"You are to run" Kamui said "I heard from Ishida-sempai and the others are a lie then"
Aichi eyes twitched 'Calm down Aichi' "Say whatever you want to persuade me, I'm not falling for it" Aichi said
"Ouch" Miwa said
"Hey Sakura don't you always look forward to a cardfight" Naoki ask
"If it wasn't you two tricking me" Aichi glared at them
Naoki and Shingo flinched.
"How many times we are sorry" Naoki said
"He's right Sakura-san" Shingo said
"Then you go against him" Aichi said
"Ok do your own way" Naoki walk to the others "What's her problem" he muttered to them
"We told you not to trick her" Shingo said
"But it's the only get her to come here" Naoki said
"In the end she is pretty mad" Misaki said
"Um..." they look at Mark-sensei "Can we start now"
"Yeah, then I'll go first" Naoki said pulling out his deck "I won't hold back Kamui" Naoki put his first vanguard down
"Me too Ishida-sempai" Kamui put down his first vanguard
"Are you two ready" Mark-sensei said
"Yeah" they both answered
"Now begin" Mark-sensei said

"Leon challenged her" Miwa cried
"Yeah" Naoki nodded "It happened last week" he said
"Who won" Izaki ask
"Surprising Sakura did" Kourin said
"She won!" Miwa cried
Kai turn in interest.
"She is mad because we tricked her" Shingo said
"Then let's try this" they see Mark-sensei walking up to them "Why don't we try to let both of them cardfighting each other"
"Sensei are you crazy" Miwa cried
"He's right, Kai didn't cardfight in two months" Naoki cried
"That's the plan" Mark-sensei said "Kai needs to not run away and stand his ground. I understand his sadness about Sendou, but it's time for him to understand what he's doing" he said
They all look at each other and nodded.
"I'll try to get Kai persuaded" Miwa said
"We will try with Sakura" Misaki said
"Then we'll leave that to you" Mark-sensei walk to his normal spot "Then Kai Toshiki-kun and Tamamiya Sakura-san fight began" he announced
"Eh?" Kai and Aichi were shocked
"I wasn't participating" Aichi said
"I didn't agree on this" Kai crossed his arms
"Maa maa" Miwa popped from behind Kai and began pushing him to the table
"Just go with it" Kourin and Misaki began pushing Aichi to the other table
"Wha-" Aichi cried as she was being pushed
"Miwa explain" Kai said
"Kai you haven't cardfight in two months once in a while you should have some fun" Miwa said
Aichi was shocked 'Kai-kun didn't cardfight in two months' "What does that involve with me" Aichi said
"You should lighten up" Izaki said
"Yup, you better be lucky that you didn't go up against me" Morikawa boasted
"Make-mi went up it takes a million of years to beat her" Kamui said
"What was that, brat" Morikawa cried
"You heard me" Kamui said
They began arguing over and over, Aichi sweatdrop as they never change over the last three months.

Aichi slightly flinched 'Not good' "I see. I'll be going then" Aichi walked away and gave a wave
Kai watch her leave then something weird as she turn, Kai saw a flash of Aichi's hair. Kai's eyes widen as he remember when Aichi and Kai briefly met at Card Capital 'Why do I always see Aichi' he shook his head
"Kai" he turn to see Miwa walking up to him "How was it, that girl is strong"
"I agree" Kamui said "And I didn't get to fight against to her" he droop his head
Kamui felt a hand on his shoulder then see Morikawa next to him "If you didn't get to fight you can still fight against the strongest fighter in the room Morikawa- sama" he boasted
"Hmph I'm not interested" Kamui shrugged
"What Brat" Morikawa argued
"You heard me" they both glare at each other as Izaki and Miwa sweatdrop
Aichi walked to the door as Naoki stopped her.
"Hey Sakura" Naoki said "Are you still mad"
Aichi turn to him "No, but I won't forgive you for tricking" she said
"I knew it" Naoki rub the back of his head
"But" they turn to her "I'm glad that you did" she smiled "Thanks"
They all cheered that the plan works.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow" Aichi walk out the door and closing it behind her. Aichi leaned against it and had a big smile on her face 'Maybe this the best day in my life' she thought walking back home

"Sakura are you coming with us" Kourin said
"Yeah, I'm interested in cardfighting the boys at Histue again" Aichi walked pass them 'Actually just see Kai-kun' she thought "And it's not going to hurt going to a card shop"
They all smiled and walked with Aichi to Card Capital. They arrived at Card Capital and walk through the doors.
"Welcome" Shin greeted them
"I'm back Shin-san" Misaki walked to the counter and petted the Sub-manager

"I see, that is your decision then" Aichi said
"Yeah" Kai nodded "I owe you my thanks for helping me"
"It's nothing I've been like that before just running away and avoiding to come, but one person told me that he wasn't interested to cardfight against someone who runs away" Aichi remember when Kai said that to her at the final in the regional tournament "Because of his words I now know what Vanguard is to me, not just a game it's to have fun when you play and not only that you have get friends and rivals" Aichi smiled at him
