Well, three chapters in one single day, that must be a new record for me. It's also the longest chapter yet.

Pairing: KaixAsaka

Time: During the VF Circuit

Asaka was mad, really mad. Ren did it again, it made her feel useless again. Since Toshiki Kai joined team Asteroid, Ren has been all over him. They practised like crazy and Ren had that flame in his eyes. Asaka was jealous that it couldn't be her, who made him feel that way.

„Asaka, are you okay?" asked Tetsu. Asaka sighed, how was it possible that just Tetsu noticed, that she felt down? Maybe it was her own fault that Ren treated her like granted, since she always listened to his orders and never declined when he asked for a favour.

„Tetsu! Asaka! We have been looking for you!" said Ren as he entered the training room. Kai came in right after him. The beautiful assassin of team New Asteroid shot him a glare a did her best not to throw an insult on his head.

„Why so?" asked Tetsu, looking up from his paper work and focusing his attention on the leader of the team. Asaka was as curious as Tetsu was. Usually Ren and Kai always locked themselves away and battled each other until it was time for food.

„We want to card fight with you guys!" said Ren. Asaka was really glad that he had that positive vibe around him. Asaka was surprised. Ren just wanted to fight Kai since he came to their team and suddenly he wants to batlle her and Tetsu too?

„Get your game on!" said Asaka happily, since she thought Ren finally realized her value as a fighter and maybe even as a person. The day went by quickly and Asaka was overjoyed to spend so much time with her beloved Ren.

„So how about one last match before we end for today?" said Ren after they played for the past 5 hours Vanguard. All members agreed, but now came the question who would get to fight. Ït was clear that everyone wanted to, but only two can play.

„What about a tag battle?" suggested Tetsu. Everbody lid up and agreed. They wouldn't just improve their skills, but also strengthen their bond as a team. But now there was a more important question, who would tag with who.

„I want to build a pair with Ren," said Asaka immediately. Asaka never played with Ren in a tag duel before, she wanted to make a strong bond between them, so he would finally understand that he means so much to her.

„Sorry, Asaka, but it doesn't work that way," said Ren, smiling like nothing was the matter. He wrote down number 1 and 2 on four pieces of paper, each number was twice. Now destiny would decide who would get paired with who. Asaka gulped, she would kill just to be paired up with Ren, but she couldn't affect this in any way.

„Kai, come on, take out a piece of paper. So we can finally start."

After everyone had their paper, they unfolded it to reveal their partner for the final battle. Asaka was nervous, because she would end up really upset if Ren would fight along side Kai or Tetsu. She had her eyes closed as she opened up the paper and prayed silently for a miracle.

„I have 2! What do you have Ren?"

„I've got number 1, so I'm with Tetsu!" said Ren cheerfully. He was happy no matter who he would end up with. However this could only mean one thing for Asaka. She didn't even think that God could be so cruel to her.

She was teamed up with Kai.

„So cheer up, assassin. It's not like you'll die fighting with me," said Kai. Asaka just glared at him. Of all those people, she had to be with Kai on this. It ruined her mood for the rest of the day. They battle started with Tetsu and Ren in the lead, since Asaka refused to co-work with Kai, so he had to guard everything on his own.

„What's wrong over there? You fight like amateurs," said Tetsu after he finished his turn. Asaka just didn't want to work together and achieve victory with Kai. She wanted it to be Ren and no one else, who she would defeat her opponents with.

„It's not my fault, she acts like a spoiled brat," said Kai, crossing his arms. Asaka just frowned at that comment. Who did he think he was? Insulting her like that, he should have a bit more respect of her. At the end of the day, she's just as good as him. And then it hit her, how could she expect his respect, if she treated him without respect this whole time? She got it, he tried to show her his point of view. Asaka felt then ashamed for her behaviour.

„My turn! I'll show you! Go forth, silver thorn serpents! I ride Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer Luquier!" yelled Asaka out. She would end it that turn. She and Kai had 10 damage, each of them had 5. She just had to deal 3 damage to Ren and Tetsu and she would win.

„Limit Break! Since I have more than 4 damage I can activate her limit break. I now can call units from Luquier's soul, Superior Call!"

And with that move she won the battle for her and Kai. Ren and Tetsu were impressed as how she managed to defeat them in one single turn with them being in the lead. After they made their way back to their room to prepare for dinner, Asaka needed to talk to Kai. She finally understood that Kai was in many ways just like Ren.

„Kai, wait!"

„What?"

„Thank you for today. I really appreciated your help during the tag battle."

„I'm sure, Ren will one day be as fascinated by you as I am."

After he said it he left in the direction of his room. Asaka stood there, totally frozen and unable to move. Did Kai just really tell her, Asaka Narumi, he was fascinated in her? She was shocked! While she was so focused on Ren, she didn't pay any attention to her surroundings.

„Kai, thank you. I'm grateful."

REVIEW

A/N I don't really know what pairing will be next. But I think the next chapter will be KaixRen, the one after that Kaichi and the one after that MiwaxMisaki.
