In the last chapter of AVCV

"Then... somebody was really using the same ability?"Ayumi managed to say

"That could be the only way."

"but the only ones playing back then was Gouki and Aichi. "

The three looked at each, reading each other's minds. Azami was the one who broke the silence. "one of them couldn't...have the ability...right?"

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

"Goodwork guys!" Shin said proudly "I didn't really expect for us to go this far! I mean, I entered our shop for the first time, and we actually won!"

The whole team was really happy, and they were enjoying themselves. Kai, was obviously irritated by the event and stood up.

"I'm going home."

Kamui, and Misaki already saw that coming and didn't even argue. But when Hime stood up, the whole gang look at her.

"I'm going home too..." she said gloomily

Aichi, concerned about her, asked "Huh? Why?"

"Haha, sorry. I guess the tournament got the best of me. I need to rest that's all."

"oh...Why don't I go with you??? I mean, I live nearby so..."

"Huh? Sure...why not."

The 3 of them left cardcapital. Kai already went ahead, leaving the kids alone. Aichi glanced at his friend, Hime. Who, strangely, kept staring at the floor.

"I wonder if something's  bothering her..."  he thought

"....If Arrow Blade's warning is really true..." Hime started, but then she suddenly shakes her head " No!!! I heard that it's really rare until people get those powers..."

"Hime-san?? Uh, Hime-san are you really ok??" Aichi asked

But he was ignored by the girl beside her whose eyes are nearly wet" No...I don't want that to repeat again."

"Hime-san??" Aichi started to get more worried "I knew it, something's really wrong with Hime-san... I wonder what it is..." suddenly he started to remember something.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Eh!? Hime-san started screaming?!?!?!" Aichi blurted out.

"AAAAH!" Kamui covered up Aichi's mouth "SHHH!!!!"

"O-oh.. Was that a mistake?? " Aichi got the message and nodded, and once Kamui was convinced he removed his hand "Ayumi said not to say this to anyone.But you're our teammate, i don't see anything wrong ." the young boy explained as he washes his hands.

"Is that so? Around when did she started screaming?"

Kamui looked up and thought for a moment " Hmm, let me think..... I think it was around when you ride soul saver."

Aichi's eyes went wide." No way...."

"It was painful yah know? She suddenly held her head like this."

But Aichi started to step back. "That was when I had this strange feeling."

Despite his worried friend, Kamui acted more " And she was like GAAA-!!!"

Aichi couldn't hold it anymore and rushed out the boy room."I'm sorry Kamui!!"

"It was just weird yah know? "but when he finished his act Aichi was gone. "Ni-san..?"

When he was outside Ayumi was waiting secretly to surprise him "Great! He's coming. Ok! Use this chance Use me~" Ayumi chanted as she she jumped out.

"Ayumi? What is she doing? But more importantly  Hey do you know where Hime-san is??"

"Hmm, he wasn't bothered at all, wait nee-san? Why is he looking for her ?  You mean nee-san?"

"Yah! "

Ayumi stepped back "W-woah, what's with that look? I guess she's at the van now."

"Thanks!!" and the boy ran as fast as he could. Ayumi put her hands on her hips "What was that about?....-_- wait don't tell me." 

Suddenly a voice was heard behind her "Aichi ni-san!! Aichi ni-san! Ah! Ayumi!"

"Kamui...." a creepy aura was coming out of her. "Did you take up my advice ?!!?!?"

TT^TT" Wha-what do you mean?"

"Not telling anyone......"

"Uh.... oh no."

"Hime-san!!" the blue boy was running with all his might. "Please be ok!!" after a while a pink color was illuminated under the sun. "There she is! Hime-san!"

Hearing his voice Hime stopped talking to her teammates and slowly turned around " Huh? Ai-"

But Aichi was running so fast he caught up to Hime in no time.  He gripped her arms and asked "Are you ok?!"

"Aichi? Huh? He's sweating a lot... Did he run all the way here? What do you mea-"

"Answer me!!"

Hime was shocked "No way, " she glanced at his hands "Is he shacking?? "she stared deep in his eyes. "He's actually worried...about me..." a gentle smile escaped her face.

Aichi went red "U-uhm!!"

Hime smiled "It's alright Aichi. I'm ok. He's talking about that scream isn't he? That scream was nothing, I guess I didn't sleep enough last night."

Aichi's face went gentle "Hime-san..." but what he did next was unexpected. He kneeled down on he floor. "Don't make me worry like that again."

"Aichi?? Are you alright??" Hime bent down with him. suddenly- "oouf!!" she was suddenly sitting down, because a certain someone was hugging her. "H-hey! Let go!!"

But instead the one at fault only tightened his hug. "Don't worry me again..."

"Aichi..."

"EHEM!!"

"!!!!"

The two stared at the source of the voice. "You know, you could have been a little shy. Seeing you two makes me sick" Kai spurted out.

"Ah, the bliss of youth in love." Shin said as he started to wipe his shinning tears.

"You sound like an old man." Misaki murmured.

"Y-you guys were here?!?" Aichi suddenly stood up. "U-uhm!!"

"Hahaha, don't worry Aichi-kun! We'll keep it as a secret. Besides, that sweaty face of yours earlier... It really fascinated me."

"It was the first time I saw Aichi that worried." Misaki commented.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Is it about the headache? I thought it was because of fatigue...? Hey Hime-san!"

"huh?" Hime, startled, started to back away a little. 

Suddenly everything was slowed down.

"Eh..?"  outbalanced, Hime realized there was no floor on where she placed her feet. "I'm falling...."

Aichi stretched his hand "Hime-san!! Grab on!"

"Somebody save me..."  hime felt like she was falling into he eternal abyss again. "No....If I fall... It's all over now....If I fall" she stared at Aichi with tears in her eyes. "You guys will hate me..." tears started to cover her face"  And I'll be alone again. NO! I don't want that!" 

But it was too late, the pink haired girl was now enveloped in darkness " I knew it... My happiness won't last long..." then she closed her eyes, but when she opened them. A hand wrapped in a warm light was coming for her. And surprisingly the hand reached her and destroyed the darkness. " It's warm...."

Aichi grabbed Hime's hand and hugged her tightly for the second time. Both of them collapsed on the floor. 

*BEEP BEEEEEEEEP* suddenly a car just passed by.

Hime looked back "That could've been my death... !! Aichi!" she immediately checked her saver. "....aichi... why are you..."

"Are you an idiot!? " and he hugged her for the third time  "I already told you... Don't make me worry like that again."

And with those words Hime  couldn't hold it in any longer. She cried the time and Aichi was just there below her. Patting her back saying 'don't worry I'm here.'

"I guess she just another ordinary girl."

"Aichi!! You don't know how much you've helped me.. I'm really scared..."

After calming down the two sat down on a bench "Hey Aichi..."

"Yes?"

"What would you do if... If I suddenly change? What if I became someone you never knew, someone you'll be afraid of. Will you hate me??" she gulped down "will you leave me?"

Aichi stood up annoyed." Hime! You're an idiot! There would never, not in a million years, I could make myself hate you!"

Hime just stared at her friend

"And most importantly I could never leave you...."

Hime smiled "Thank you Aichi."

Being a gentleman the boy helped the girl reach her home. And once again Hime locked herself in her room.

She stared at the ceiling for a while, and then she closed her eyes. once she opened them, the breeze  from another planet can be felt. 

"Cray... Good to be back  Arrow!! Where are you?"

"Always beside you my vanguard."

Hime turned around and saw her bestfriend up in a tree."Come down here for a sec."

"I heard the news you know. Headaches"

"Yah. So I guess that warning of yours is true." Hime joked a little

But Arrow knew that this was no laughing matter "Beware my vanguard. Prepare your heart for the enemy."

"I know I know. "

"You don't want to bring her back don't you?"

"Arrow we decided not to talk about this."

Arrow walked towards her Vanguard and stopped to whisper something to her "Be careful not because the enemy is dangerous, it's also closer than you think."

Hime suddenly came back to her  room.  She stared at the floor "It might be closer than you think,my vanguard. Huh.... I guess I'll be meeting her soon"

"There would never, not in a million years, I could make myself hate you!"

"You don't know how much that made me happy Aichi. " a tear strolled down her face " It was just like back then with Azami and Hina."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Are an idiot Hime!!" Azami shouted "We're friends right?!" as she looked down at her

Hina on the other hand kneeled down "What kind of friends would their precious friend after something like that?"

"....you two...."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Aichi. Thank you."
