Good afternoon.

Pairing: KourinxMisaki

Time: At the beginning of Link Joker

It was a normal day at Miyaji High and the Card Fight Club gathered in the physics room to train their skills. Misaki Tokura was paired up with Aichi Sendou and fighting like for her life. However, Misaki was feeling slightly distracted. And you ask why?

Misaki Tokura, the only female member of tem Q4, was in love with Kourin Tatsunagi.

It has been quite a while since their small dispute about her becoming a member of the Card Fight Club. But after that they managed to handle the school festival theatre, they have strengthened their bond as friends. Misaki still couldn't shake off the feeling that Kourin was out of her reach, she could see that Kourin had a soft spot for Aichi. Still she wasn't quite sure if Kourin had a crush on Aichi or not.

"Misaki-san, is something wrong? You seem uncomfortable," said Aichi, looking at her with his puppy eyes. Misaki couldn't believe that Kai is still so distant towards Aichi, since it is pretty obvious that they have feelings for each other.

"No, I'm absolutely fine. You don't have to worry about me," replied Misaki as she drew her card and continued her turn. She was actually in the lead. If she would make the right decisions now, this would be the final turn of the match. Her Genesis clan was really good in terms of skills, but there were still times she missed her Oracle Think Tank deck.

Sadly, Aichi stayed his grounds and defeated Misaki at the end. Naoki and Shingo cheered out of joy and Aichi congratulated Misaki on the fun match. Kourin however stayed silent. Misaki thought if there was the possibility that Kourin still had something against her.

"I'm going for a can of tea, does anyone want something?" asked Misaki, feeling so stressed out that she needed a little fresh air in order to clear her mind about her feelings. They all declined and Misaki made her way to the drink machine.

"Man, even a can of green tea doesn't lift up my mood," sighed Misaki as she took a long sip. She was so confused about her feelings for Kourin. Misaki was always convinced that she was straight. She never would have believed she would fall in love with a girl.

"Are you down or something?" echoed the sound of Kourin from behind her. She almost chocked as she was surprised by Kourin's sudden appearance.

"No, not really. Just feeling tired, I guess."

Misaki was taken off of guard as she felt a pair of slim arms wrapping around her from behind. Her eyes grew wide as she realized what was actually happening.

"Misaki, I can tell when you're feeling unhappy."

Misaki closed her eyes and put her own hands on Kourin's. She smiled silently to herself that she was so stupid and didn't realize it sooner. Kourin was struggling exactly like her. She just felt deep friendship for Aichi, nothing more. She was acting like this the whole time only because she didn't know how to handle her feelings. Little did she know Misaki was having the very same problem. However, it was over now.

Forever.

REVIEW

A/N It has been very difficult to think of a Misakou oneshot, but I handled it somehow. I hope the requester liked it and you other readers as well.
