Hey guys, I'm back with another chapter of 'You're my true Vanguard!' Enjoy~

They saw the next pair was Emi and Kamui.

~On Planet Cray~

They were teleported to a battlefield it seemed.

And they were circled by what looked like assassins.

Back at the theatre, Aichi got worried remembering what happened in his dream.

Misaki found it kinda odd that he was that worried but didn't bother asking him anyway.

Kamui's looks: Wearing an armor like Stern Blaukruger, Has the 3 weapons of Illuminal Dragon, Glasses like Mr. Invincible's and his usual hair.

Emi's looks: Her looks is exactly like Labrador of the Bermuda Triangle.

Emi counted 12 assassins around them, Kamui had troubles counting.

"There are 12 assassins around us, how about a game? The person to beat more assassins wins. And the loser has to do a dare." Emi said, her playful side coming out

"I'm fine with it but…" Kamui said, looking for the right words to say

Emi, reading his mind, said "You don't think I can fight? Let's save the conversation later, they're already charging at us."

After a few minutes, the 12 assassins were beaten and both beaten 6 assassins.

"A tie score it seems." Kamui said

"Yup, so how do we settle this now." Emi said

As Emi was busy thinking, Kamui noticed another assassin hiding who knows where attacking Emi from her back side.

Kamui killed the assassin before it could reach Emi and Emi saw it.

"You...won." Emi said

"Did I? I guess I did." Kamui said

"So what's your dare?" Emi asked

Kamui got confused when she said that until he remembered their bet.

"Oh yeah that's right, the bet. Well, I'll just ask you for a simple thing then. Please stay by my side until I'll die!" Kamui said, blushing

"Is that your own way of proposing?" Emi asked, teasing Kamui

"H-Hey, how else can I say it?" Kamui said

"Well anyways, I'm still too young for that kind of stuff so can you wait until we're older? Then I will do that dare." Emi said

"Okay enough for me." Kamui said

For the rest of their time, they were just chatting about Vanguard and the latest events.

"I'm a little excited as to what will be happening between Misaki and Aichi." Kamui said

"I'm also excited about it!" Emi said

This was their last chat as they were then teleported back to the theatre.

Back at the theatre, Aichi was relieved that Emi wouldn't get hurt like in his dreams.

"Hey, wait a minute, where'd Rekka go? I thought she was with us." Suiko said, everyone hearing it

"Now that you mention it, granny-glasses isn't here either." Naoki said

"Don't worry, I found them. Though they already seem to be getting along." A voice, which was Takuto's, said

They then looked at the screen again.

They saw Rekka and Shingo already holding hands so they missed what happened before they were like that.

"Anyways, back to our multi-date. The next dates are already teleported to Cray." Takuto said

The next pairs were Ren and Asaka.

Ren's looks: His outfit was Blaster Dark from top to bottom without the helmet and also he was wielding Blaster Dark's sword. He's mounting the horse of Mordred Phantom.

Asaka's looks: Wearing the outfit and wielding the weapon of Luquier with her usual hair.

They were teleported to a labyrinth on Cray but they weren't next to each other.

Blue unbreakable walls made the labyrinth

Ren was where looks like the starting point of the labyrinth and Asaka is in the middle of the labyrinth.

"Asaka, you hear me?" A voice called out

"Takuto, is that you?" Asaka answered the call and she looked around to see no one

"Yes, I'm talking to you telepathically. Now for this one, I want you to pretend to be dead on that bed right in front of you." Takuto said

"Wait, why?" Asaka asked

"Ren is somewhere in this labyrinth on his way here to find you. Look, just trust me now. And as I think, you might be curious how Ren would react if he would see you dead, right?" Takuto said

"He's right. I'm kinda curious about it." Asaka said, taking her position on the bed.

She put her hands together on top of her chest and laid there on the bed.

~Meanwhile at Ren's situation~

"Damn, wrong again. I take it there are monsters behind me again." Ren said, getting off his horse and killed the monsters behind him

After killing the monsters behind him, he thought that he already took all the paths and he wasn't progressing any further.

At his angriness, he punched the wall and was surprised his hand went through it.

"I thought the wall was unbreakable." Ren said

He continued to progress through the labyrinth by breaking wall after wall with his powerful sword and strong horse until he found Asaka lying dead on a bed, or so he thought.

"Such a weak person, I'm going to leave you now…" Ren said and these words made Asaka's heart break but she didn't expect what Ren was going to say next

"…Was what I would've said if I were still the same person as before. You have my gratitude Asaka, for breaking the corruption I was in before. Now I wish I could've said these words to you before. And now, you're gone." Ren said

"I love you…"

Those words made Asaka's heart beat really fast then she heard a voice

"You can stop the act now." Takuto said

Asaka quickly hugged Ren who was beside her bed

"I love you too, Ren." Asaka said

Ren was surprised that Asaka was still alive, but stopped thinking about it.

Asaka explained what she was doing to Ren and why she was doing it.

"I see, I see. Nice setup Takuto." Ren said to himself

Ren was still thinking but Asaka suddenly kissed him in the lips which surprised him yet again.

Both closed their eyes and continued their kiss passionately.

The next moment they open their eyes, they were no longer kissing and they were back at the theatre.

Ren gave a smack kiss to Asaka on the lips and this time, Asaka's face was boiling red and she got really embarrassed but she sees that the others are not looking at them and they looked at the next pairs which were, obviously, Aichi and Misaki since they were the only ones who weren't teleported to Cray yet.

Aichi's looks: Wearing an armor like Blaster Blade, Wearing no weapon but can magically make it appear like Platina Ezel, a cloak like Pellinore and his usual hair.

Misaki's looks: Wearing an armor like Artemis, The weapon is the bow of Iwanagahime, and her hair is like hers.

"Hey Misaki, you look very beautiful." Aichi complimented

"Wha-don't spring things like that out of nowhere!" Misaki replied, blushing and embarrassed

A few moments of silence until Misaki broke the silence

"Is there something wrong?" Misaki asked

"What do you mean?" Aichi asked back

"You've been worried and all during the dates. Especially when it was Emi's date." Misaki asked

Aichi looked at Misaki with a surprised look then said "A good observation. It's just that..."

"Just what?" Misaki asked curiously

"Well, I'll tell you why but just don't be surprised." Aichi said

"I'll try to be." Misaki said

"Remember that time when I was asleep for a long time in the hospital?" Aichi started

"Yeah, what about it?" Misaki said

"Since I was asleep, it was only natural that I'd be dreaming. And well…" Aichi said and stopped to take a deep breath

"I dreamed about what happened ever since I woke up. This multi-date included." Aichi said

"But what were you worried about earlier?" Misaki asked

"In my dream, it was something else. Good thing the Paladins told me about it but I still can't help but get worried." Aichi replied

"Then that would mean you know everything what will happen after this right?" Misaki asked

"Not really everything but some events, yes. Take Emi earlier as an example. In my dream, she was hit by the assassins. But as you saw earlier, that wasn't what happened." Aichi replied

"No wonder I found it suspicious your dreams were nearly the same as what is happening right now." Misaki said

Misaki takes a deep breath then said "Remember when you confessed to me last night?"

Aichi remembered and gulped as he waited for the answer

"Well, if you're okay with me." Misaki started, blushing

"I'd like for it to happen." Misaki added

Aichi felt relieved his confession was accepted but now since Misaki answered his question, he had to answer her question.

"Remember what you asked me at the hospital? Where you asked for my dream but I didn't give the complete details?" Aichi said

"Yeah, what about it?" Misaki said

"Well, I'll tell you everything that happened up to this day for now." Aichi said

Aichi then told Misaki about everything up to the Multi-Date in his dream.

"I….don't know how to react to what you just said." Misaki said, still in awe

"It's okay to be like that, I think I'd have the same reaction if I were told about this." Aichi said

"Come on, we're nearly at the place I wanted to show you." Aichi said

Misaki was walking as they were talking but she didn't know it. It seemed like they just moved on their own.

"Woah." Misaki was impressed by the park they saw

"I saw this place in my dream." Aichi said

There they sat down on a bench and talked about some things.

"You know." Misaki started

"Hmm? What is it?" Aichi asked

Misaki clung onto Aichi and said "Don't make me worry next time."

"But when did I…" Aichi tried to remember but he just can't remember something that would make her worry

"You were sleeping in the hospital for a very long time. I was very confused everyday on what I would do starting from the day you were sleeping. So I visit you sometimes just to relieve myself." Misaki said

"And you nearly went over the top, right? Remember the day I woke up." Aichi said

"Haha, I guess so." Misaki chuckled

"But why didn't you wake up." Misaki asked

"I don't know. Maybe just to get a grasp of things while I was asleep." Aichi said

Misaki was speechless.

Aichi used her speechlessness and took advantage.

Aichi went in for the kiss as Misaki still couldn't grasp the situation.

Before she could understand the situation, they were already teleported back to the park.

"Goodbye everyone, I hope you enjoyed your trip!" Takuto said

On the way home, Misaki and Aichi were silent but the atmosphere also wasn't awkward.

"Maybe she's just tired." Aichi thought

As they arrived, they noticed Shin still wasn't back.

They went inside Card Capital to take a little break.

The telephone in the shop had a voice message.

"Hello, this is Shin. I'll be home at 10 o'clock in the night." Was the voice from the telephone.

Misaki went upstairs to take a bath and get changed.

Misaki finished doing so and Aichi was about to go home when the telephone suddenly rang.

Aichi heard it so he hung around for a bit while Misaki answered the call.

"I'll be home at 2 o'clock the latest, I think." The person on the phone said

"Okay Shin, safe travels." Misaki answered

Aichi suddenly remembered he still didn't bid farewell.

"Misaki, good night. See you tomorrow." Aichi said

As Aichi was about to exit, Misaki called "Aichi, wait…"

"Hmm? What is it?" Aichi asked

"….Nothing." Misaki said

"…Okay, if you're sure." Aichi said, heading for the door once more

As Aichi headed for the door yet again, Misaki said in a low, sad voice "Good Night Aichi."

Aichi didn't hear it so he went home.

Aichi walked home fast since it was starting to get dark.

As soon as he reached home, he quickly took a bath.

After he took his bath, he wore his sleeping clothes and didn't feel like eating dinner so he told Emi and his mom.

He then layed in bed and tried to sleep but he couldn't.

His first date with Misaki was on his mind.

An hour, 2 hours, 3 hours went by and he was still thinking about the same thing, as if his brain had a broken tape.

He looked at the clock on his table and saw that it was still 9 o'clock.

"Emi and mom should still be awake." Aichi said and changed his sleeping clothes to his normal clothes.

Aichi went downstairs and told Emi and his mom, "I want to walk outside for a bit since I can't sleep. My destination might be Card Capital."

Emi and Aichi's mom was okay with it but told him to call them if something might happen.

"Be right back. Mom, Emi." Aichi said as he randomly walked around the neighborhood.

Their neighborhood was quite peaceful at night, tragedies rarely happen there and some people were still walking outside even late at night.

Aichi headed to Card Capital and saw it was already closed(obviously) since it was already very late so he made a U-turn back home.

As he arrived back home, he saw that a familiar figure was at the door.

"Misaki…?" Aichi asked in a low voice

The figure turned around and ran towards Aichi then hugged him.

By now, Aichi could properly see the person really was Misaki but he wondered what was Misaki doing this late in the night?

Aichi decided to keep quiet since he guessed that she would tell him anyway.

"Aichi! I was scared!" Misaki said

"Scared of what?" Aichi tried to ask in a gentle manner

"Scared of being alone at night." Misaki said, the tone was a bit embarassed.

Aichi didn't know what to reply but at least he grasped the situation so he invited Misaki inside the house.

Emi and Shizuka were surprised as to why Misaki was with Aichi but for now, they served hot tea to Misaki.

Aichi then explained what he understood to both of them.

"So long story cut short, Misaki is afraid of being alone at night so she came here. Is that it?" Emi asked

"I guess so." Aichi replied

The rest of the conversation was silent.

After Misaki finished drinking her tea, Emi got the cup and saucer and washed it.

As for Aichi and Misaki, they went to Aichi's room.

"Your room is quite organized for a boy's room." Misaki commented

"Well, other than tinkering with my deck, I clean my room if I have some free time." Aichi replied

"Hmm, no wonder." Misaki said

Misaki notices Aichi getting a mini-bed under his bed for Misaki, well at least she thought.

"There's no need to get a bed for me Aichi, I'll go home a bit later." Misaki said

"Oh, I'll be using this bed. You'll be sleeping on my bed for tonight." Aichi said

"Like I said, I'll just-" Misaki was cut off

"You're afraid of being alone at night, right? And as I remembered, Shin won't be home until 2 o'clock right? I can't leave you there alone if you'll be scared." Aichi said

Misaki was speechless so she just gave a nod as an answer.

"Here, you can call Shin and tell him what you would. I'll be right back, I'll just change into my sleeping clothes. And I guess those are your sleeping clothes?" Aichi asked

"Yeah, it is." Misaki said

"You still look beautiful in it." Aichi commented then went out of the room.

"What wasI thinking? Suddenly saying that…" Aichi thought

Both did what they had to and Aichi soon returned and Misaki finished calling Shin.

"Well then, I'll take this mini-bed, you sleep on my bed." Aichi said

"You know…" Misaki started

"Hmm?" Aichi asked

"….Nothing." Misaki said

"You've been like that earlier. So, what are you hiding this time? You can be open to me, you know if you want to." Aichi said

"Okay then. We can use your bed you know. I mean the two of us in the same bed…" Misaki said

Aichi would have fainted from the surprise if Misaki didn't ask her to do the same in his dream.

"…Well, how do I say this. If you're okay with it, I've got no problem with it." Aichi said

Misaki moved to make space for Aichi and Aichi assumed his sleeping position after hiding the mini-bed again under the bed.

"By the way Aichi" Misaki started

"What is it?" Aichi asked

"Can I have a good night kiss?" Misaki turned red as she asked

Aichi, blushing, replied "…Sure. Where do you want it?"

"You have the freedom to choose." Misaki said

"Well then." Aichi said as he approached his head to Misaki's head and gave a little peck to her lips.

"Good Night." Aichi said as he was asleep the next second

"You sleep quite easily, don't you? Good Night Aichi." Misaki said as she gave a kiss to Aichi's forehead.

I'm really, really, really, really, REALLY sorry everyone. It took a very long time to upload this one. I haven't been able to go online because our house was burned down to the ground. Search it on google if you don't believe it. Well, you already know the city if you read "You're my true Vanguard." And also, no need to worry, we already bought another house.

YMTV Free Chat

Aichi: Leroy, I heard the news.

Leroy: I guess there's no need to hide it then. Go on, you can tell them Aichi.

Aichi: O-okay. Everyone, gather round. Leroy's house has been burned down to the ground. Just this 1st of June.

Everyone: So then…

Leroy: Yes, the reason I haven't been able to update for a loooooooooong while.

*Silence*

Leroy: Well, I don't want to make the atmosphere more awkward so I guess let's end YMTV Free Chat for now. By the way, where is Jillian?

*Everyone looks around*

Leroy: Not here, huh? Oh well, let's end this chat so that I can look for her.
