Good evening/morning. (It's 1 AM over here.)

Pairing: KaixAichi (Kaichi!)

Time: After the VF Circuit


"Kai, cheer up a bit, you look like someone stole your Vanguard deck," said Miwa, patting Kai's shoulder. They were enjoying a summer vacation again, sponsored by the Tatsunagi Corporation. All of the teams, which took part at the final round of the VF Circuit were present, excluding team SIT Genius and including Taishi Miwa.

"Whatever," said Kai. He didn't want to go in the first place, but since Aichi persuaded him, he had no other choice than accepting. Kai and Aichi didn't really got to spend time together since they split up before the VF Circuit. Kai missed his voice and attitude. He felt miserable, but he had to do what was necessary. He thought he was doing the right thing, but he regretted it badly later on.

"Kai, I'm happy you agreed to come with us," said Ren, smiling widely. Kai just kept frowning, he didn't really feel like smiling. He always like Ren as his best friend, but this was too much.

"Me too," said Aichi. After they finally arrived at the summer resort, everyone checked in. There was a small dispute about who would get a room with who. Asaka and Misaki almost ripped their hair off when they were put into a same room.

"So I guess that leaves Kai and Aichi in one room," said Miwa, smirking at his brunette friend. Kai growled, he was sure that Miwa had this planned all along, but he couldn't really do anything about it.

"Kai, which bed do you want?" asked Aichi, standing in the door with his bad over his shoulder.

"I don't care, I can sleep anywhere," replied Kai, entering the room and looking around. Kai didn't know if he felt happy or uncomfortable being in a room with Aichi through the whole vacation. Kai wasn't able to sort out his feelings for the little bluenette.

"Aichi? Kai? Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you," said Miwa. Kai and Aichi totally forgot that they planned on heading to the beach to enjoy the hot weather of the day. Aichi took of his shirt to change it to a T-shirt, but Kai was taken off of guard at the sight of a half naked Aichi. Aichi soon noticed that Kai was staring at him and started to blush.

"K-Kai, is something wrong?"

Kai shook his head and changed his clothes as well. He was mad with himself, since he let his own feelings overwhelm him like this. After several minutes they made their way to the beach to meet up with the others.

"Took you long enough," said Kamui as he jumped into the water. Kai just sat back and started a match with Miwa. Team New Asteroid excluding Kai played beach volleyball along side with team Dreadnought. Misaki stayed with Shin to see what they could have for dinner.

"Brother Aichi! Come in the water, it's very refreshing!" yelled Kamui. Aichi nodded and ran into the water as well. All the teams enjoyed plenty of fun and the time for dinner was there in no time.

"I'm starving!" said Miwa as he finished the last battle with Kai. Kai noticed Aichi wasn't among the rest of the people who were fooling around in the water.

"Where's Aichi?" Kai asked. He started to panic, he looked around but there was no sight of his blue hair. Everyone started to call and look for him, but he was lost. Kai felt the anxiety consume him, he didn't know what to do. Where was Aichi? Just the thought that he could be gone, made him insane.

"There!" yelled Tetsu, pointing towards the wide ocean. Aichi was drowning! He was trying to reach up for help, but it was no use, he had no chance.

"Ren!" said Kai, running towards the ocean, signalizing his friend that he should help him. Ren nodded and sprinted right after him.

"You guys, stay behind, I and Kai can handle this."

Kai without hesitation jumped in the cold water and did his best to reach Aichi. He felt the waves clashing with his body, but he continued. He wouldn't stop until Aichi was safe again. He didn't see Ren, but he knew he was right behind since they used to swim together all the time back at middle school.

"Aichi, grab my hand!" ordered Kai as he finally got a hold of the younger boy. Aichi did as he was told and Ren helped Kai to pull Aichi out of the water. everybody gathered around them and looked how Aichi fell unconscious.

"He needs CPR," said Sharlene and Jillian as they kneeled down to check Aichi's pulse. Kai didn't bother to think twice about it, he put one hand over the other and started to push down Aichi's chest.

"Come on, Aichi, you cannot leave us like this," said Kamui, tears already floating down his cheeks. Everybody else looked also concerned about Aichi's health, they all prayed that he would be all right.

"You need to get air into his lungs!" said Misaki suddenly. Kai flinched, but he did what Misaki told him. He put his arm under Aichi's head, tilded his head up a little bit and blocked his nose so no air would get out. He leaned in and tried his best to make Aichi finally open his eyes. This was Kai's worst nightmare. He couldn't lose him right now, not when he needed him the most. Minutes passed, but Aichi still didn't regain consciousness.

"Did anybody call an ambulance?"

"Of course we did, but they are on the other side of the island. Before they get here it could be too late," said Leon, cheking the time. Kai kept doing the same thing over and over again and everybody watched with sadness in their eyes. Maybe it was too late...

"Kai, I think you can stop now," said Miwa, looking at his friend who was obviously in a lot of pain. Kai just shook his head and kept on going. He wasn't able to accept such an option, it was like saying he should stop breathing. He loved Aichi more than anything and cursed himself for not noticing earlier.

"Never!" he yelled out and pulled Aichi close to his body. This couldn't be the end, they just restored their bond and yet he is getting further away from him by every passing second. Then suddenly he heard a cough.

It was Aichi! He started to cough and spit out a high amount of water. He looked to see Kai and the others shocked with a light hint of relief.

"Aichi, you are alive!" said Kamui, now crying out of joy that his "older brother" was all right. Aichi looked confused, but then noticed Kai staring at him blankly. Aichi blushed after he noticed how close they were, but Kai didn't saying anything, he just pulled him into a tight embrace.

"Aichi never do this to me again."


REVIEW

A/N I'm sorry if there are errors, I'm too lazy to check it, since I really want to go to bed right now. The next one will be MiwaxMisaki and the one after that KaixMisaki.
