Good morning! Reviewer, dracokid, yes, I like Kaichi the most of all pairings on the show.

Pairing: RenxMisaki

Time: After the VF Circuit

New Team Asteroid and team Q4 got a nice trip to hot springs once again. They couldn't believe their own luck, that Takuto was so kind to provide them a vacation once again. It was in middle July so the weather was amazing as expected in July. Misaki couldn't shake of the feeling that Ren kept watching her. The red haired leader of the New Team Asteroid found in her something entertaining, so much she figured, but she didn't really know, if she was comfortable with it.

"What's up, Misaki? You seem uncomfortable," said Aichi, eyeing her from his seat, which was located next to Kai. It didn't really surprise her that they sat next to each other. Aichi had a lot to say to his brown haired idol.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry."

"Missy is upset?" asked Ren in his most childish voice possible. Misaki sighed, how many time would she have to tell him that it's Misaki and not Missy. But maybe it was no use to keep on getting angry about it.

"It's Misaki, please get it right."

"Finally here, I was going to pike soon!" said Kamui, jumping out as soon as the van stopped. The sea was glistering as it reflected the bright sun light of noon. Misaki was glad that she was in her element again.

"It's puke, not pike," corrected Misaki her little teammate. She was always amused by the way he said the wrong things, convinced he said a logical sentence. But her thoughts were interrupted by Ren, who pulled her arm and dragged her to the beach with Asaka following suit.

"Come on, Missy, let's play!" said Ren with a ball in his hand.

"It's Misaki!"

She never understood as how childish and naïve the leader of a Vanguard team could be. She didn't understand also the fact that Asaka was so head over heels in love with him. But Asaka was strange in her way too with the whole circus act. However, her Pale Moon deck is world class though.

After an exhausting day on the beach, Misaki finally got the chance to return to her room and have a little rest. Ren would annoy her the whole day, why was he so fixated on her anyway? She wasn't anything special, just a regular girl. She wouldn't have a chance with someone as good as Ren. He was amazingly strong and he's always calm while card fighting. There's no way, she could have a shot with him.

Wait.

What was she thinking? This was ridiculous, she didn't have a crush on him or anything, so why bother with such a silly question. But the thought kept running through her head and it didn't even let her sleep. What was this? Why did Misaki Tokura of all people think about Ren Suzugamori so much? She decided that a nice bath in the hot springs would be good. She found it really strange that hot springs were so near a beach and the sea, but nature has its own ways.

"Finally alone," said Misaki, who dived into the hot water with a towel wrapped around her slim body. The hot air did her really some good, it relaxed all of her muscels and her mind was clear, there was no trace from a Ren thought. She closed her eyes and reached a point, where she could just sleep in there.

"Hey, Missy!"

Misaki's eyes opened and she stared at shock at Ren, who was standing there, luckily a towel covering his private parts. She felt totally embarrassed since she was technically naked right now.

"Ren, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the bath for men? And for the last time, it's Misaki."

"You don't know? Well, this is kinda a shared bath you know."

Misaki cheeks were all red as she realized that the sign outside indeed said something like this. She felt so stupid, but she still felt very uncomfortable with Ren standing there. It was maybe the heat, but her heart started to race as she saw the upper part of Ren's body.

"Stop complaining and let's just have fun!"

And after he announced it, he jumped in the water and sat down next to Misaki. She wanted to leave, but well, he towel wasn't that covering. It just barely hid the important parts.

"You know, I always kinda liked you. You are always calm and your memory skills impress me every single time, Missy," said Ren, before reaching out for Misaki and pulling her close to him. He had a grin on his face and left a small innocent kiss on her nose. He flattered her so much, she just knew that this wasn't just friendship anymore.

"It's Mis-," she sighed. "Whatever."
