Hello!
Pairing: KaixKourin (Light hint of Kaichi)
Time: At the beginning of season 3
Kourin was always attracted to strong players and Aichi Sendou was strong. He was on his way to be the strongest card fighter around. And since she enrolled Miyagi Academy, she could spend plenty of time with Aichi. But it started to feel wrong to have a crush on him. She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't get butterflies in her stomach when she thought of Aichi anymore.
"Focus on the game, or you'll lose," said her opponent. It was no other than Kai. She challenged him to a fight after they he and the others returned from Cray. Kourin wanted to see, if she could stand her ground against Kai. However, Kai was with 4 to 3 damage in the lead and she just barely survived the last wave of attacks he threw at her.
But at last Kai was too strong and destroyed her with his Kagero deck. He wanted a change so he used his old deck with his avatar Dragonic Overlord.
"I guess, you won."
"Like it is surprising," exclaimed Kai, collecting his cards. Kourin was confused, even through his tough attitude she still felt a sensation in the air. What was that? She didn't spend much time with Kai, so it never had a chance to boil to the surface, but now that it was actually happening, it felt nice. The feeling she had was really nice.
"You want to battle someday again?"
"Sure, why not."
Kourin left with a smile on her face. She was happy, maybe even more than happy, because she felt so alive after the match with Kai. The feeling was incredible, it was magical. Maybe Aichi wasn't the one after all…
No! The one she desired was Aichi Sendou. No other person, the fire in his eyes whenever he played against Ren Suzugamori or any other opponent. These feeling won't vanish that easily from her heart.
But her head told her otherwise. It was strange, she was confused and lost in her thoughts and wasn't able to think straight. It was hurting her, because she was trapped in the realm of pure irritation. She couldn't find her way out she was lost, totally lost.
Aichi Sendou.
Toshiki Kai.
Aichi Sendou.
Toshiki Kai.
Her head hurt terribly. Takuto asked her plenty of times, if something was wrong, but she always shook it off. This wasn't something Takuto could fix, because she didn't know the problem herself. She just knew she had to figure it out in order to continue with her life properly. Suiko and Rekka also noticed that she was distracted, but she just couldn't bring herself to tell them what was wrong.
But she soon realized that Aichi was unreachable. Aichi would never notice her feelings. Aichi is in love with someone else. At first she thought it couldn't be possible that Aichi was really interested in this person. But there was no point in denying it anymore.
Aichi Sendou was in love with Toshiki Kai.
She sometimes asked herself, why she didn't see it sooner. He was always so bright and happy around Kai he never acted like this around anyone else. However, there was still hope, she could reach to Kai. That wasn't impossible.
Aichi was gone, but her heart made place for another person. It was finally time to let it go and start something new. And this time she swore she would do her best to let him know her feelings and not just dropping hints, which he wouldn't notice anyway. She wouldn't do the same mistakes again.
"Watch out, Toshiki Kai, because starting tomorrow, you're on my radar."
REVIEW
A/N It was very difficult to write this one, since Kourin obviously shows feelings for Aichi in the anime and none whatsoever for Kai. And also I dislike Kourin.
