Hey guys, been a long time. Enjoy this chapter of 'You're my true Vanguard'!
Aichi woke up around 2:30 for some reasons.
He tried sleeping again but can't do it so he decided to go down the store.
He tried looking for the switch to turn on the lights and found it.
He just turned on one light, enough for him to see through the dark.
He sat on the same seat he took last night and took out his deck.
He searched for certain cards and found it.
"I can't believe these are here. Did these cards jump out of my dream or something?" Aichi asked himself
Aichi looked at the rest of his cards seeing there was no difference, he put it back in his deck holder, put it in his pocket and went back to Misaki's room hoping he could sleep again.
~Meanwhile back in Misaki's room~
"Where did Aichi go?" Misaki asked noticing Aichi wasn't in his bed
She decided to just wait a bit but still going to pretend that she was still sleeping if Aichi was going to enter the room.
A few minutes later, the sound of the door opening can be heard and Misaki closed her eyes but partly open enough for her to still see.
Misaki can see Aichi going to probably sleep again like nothing just happened.
Misaki tried to do the same thing but can't do so.
15 minutes later, she decided that she should transfer to Aichi's bed with him still in it thinking that it will feel comfortable since Aichi is sleeping very well.
In the morning, about 6 o'clock, Aichi woke up and saw Misaki was right next to him.
"Oh right, this happened. I should have remembered." Aichi said
Aichi tried getting up silently but he was pulled back down quickly by someone who was, obviously, Misaki.
Aichi was really surprised with this and didn't know how to react.
"Don't move Aichi, you feel very soft and it makes me sleepy. And I still want to sleep more." Misaki said in a low voice
"O-okay then Misaki." Aichi replied with a stuttering voice
Half an hour later, they both woke up and Aichi went home and promised to come back to help.
"That's a promise, right?" Misaki asked
"Yes, it is." Aichi replied
Aichi bid farewell to both Misaki and Shin before going home.
He'd eventually arrive and take a bath.
Aichi joined Emi and their mother, Shizuka, to eat their breakfast.
Aichi told them Misaki's situation when the chance came up during breakfast.
"That's terrible. I think someone might need to look after her until she gets better." Shizuka said
"You're right mom. And that someone is someone that I know." Emi said looking at Aichi
"I know Emi. I was just about to ask permission to do so." Aichi said which kinda surprised Emi
"Wait, what? Is it just me or the Aichi I'm seeing right now is more mature than the Aichi I knew. I think that he must have dreamt of something that made him more mature. Yeah, yeah, it must be something like that." Emi said
"It could be that Emi. And yes Aichi, permission granted." Shizuka said with a smile
"I will pack later for a few days stay but first, we should eat. Our food might get cold." Aichi said
After finishing their meals, Emi decided to look at her cards and customize her deck a bit while Shizuka was cleaning the plates.
Aichi packed clothes and things enough for a few days when he suddenly remembered, Misaki will get well after a day.
Aichi then thought it through and decided he should still bring that much things because there might be some things different like Owen told him.
After saying goodbye to Emi and his mother, Aichi went to Card Capital.
He arrived before the shop opened so he explained the things that he would do for the few days to Misaki and Shin.
"I'm okay with it, how about you Misaki?" Shin asked looking at Misaki
"Well, I'm okay with it if you're okay with it Aichi." Misaki said a hint of shyness in her voice
"That's a yes then. I'll be looking forward." Aichi said
Shin gave a nod before going downstairs probably to get ready to open the store.
Just as Shin exited the door and closed it, Misaki asked Aichi "Why are you doing this for me Aichi?"
"Well, I just wanted to thank you for all the things you did for me in the past and I think this is a way to repay you." Aichi replied
"Well, thank you anyways. And I think you should get going now and help Shin with Card Capital?" Misaki said
"You're right. See you later, call me if you want anything." Aichi said before standing up to go downstairs
Aichi sat at the counter as Shin opened the store and soon enough, customers would start rushing in.
The gang also arrived after a little wait.
"Hey Aichi! Where is Misaki?" Naoki asked
"She kinda broke her leg and right now I'm helping them." Aichi said
"Heh? Is that so?" Miwa asked with a smirk
"Really, that's all there is to it." Aichi replied
"Well, we might as well come here what we did to do right?" Kamui said taking out his deck of cards.
"I challenge you, Toshiki Kai, to a cardfight." Kamui added pointing at Kai
"Sure thing, small stuff." Kai replied taking his deck of cards out
This followed with everyone playing but their attentions fully focused on the fight of Kamui and Kai which obviously was won by Kai.
"Argh! Again!" Kamui said
Kai smirked as he set his side of the table again to play another match.
The day went on normally and the store eventually came to a close.
Shin cooked dinner as Aichi was waiting for Shin to finish so that he can give it to Misaki and also to get his dinner which Shin will be giving.
They had ramen and Aichi had to balance carefully so that it will not spill on the tray he is carrying.
He managed to balance it through the stairs and into Misaki's room.
Aichi got his bowl and started eating on the floor carefully not to spill some while Misaki had to eat on the table with the tray because of her broken leg.
A quiet meal though Aichi didn't mind it.
After they had both eaten, Aichi took the tray from Misaki and took it downstairs to the kitchen.
Aichi then went back to Misaki's room to chat a little bit before taking a shower.
They chatted about things that happened when Aichi was watching the store for her.
"Well, it's to be expected that Kai would rarely lose to Kamui. We appreciate his efforts though." Misaki said
"You're right, we all do." Aichi said
An awkward silence follows.
Aichi thought that it would be the perfect time to say it.
"The days I've been spending with you were very fun. However, I think I can't hold on to these feelings anymore." Aichi said
Misaki gulped
"Misaki, I love you." Aichi said looking straight in to Misaki's eyes, blushing.
And that's pretty much it everyone for this chapter. Ah, the cliffhanger. Sorry to be trolling about that though. Next chapter still within 2 weeks.
