All: ....

Hime: *turns her body*

All: *shiver*

Hime: *red eyes*

Morikawa:  UH WA-WAIT! I CAN-

Hime :  please..... let me sleep…
Then she started to to fall backwards when.

Aichi: Hime-san !
Luckily Aichi caught her in time.

Azami: Wow, that was quick Aichi.

Izami: I-Is she ok?

Aichi stared at Hime’s sleeping face
Aichi: *blushes* Sh-she seems ok.

The gang helped Aichi put Hime beside a wall, Aichi sat with her.
Azami: Nice going  Morikawa, you’re lucky that Hime was sleepy.

morikawa: sorry…

Azami: *sigh*  I’m going back to my seat. 

Izami: So what was the thing you’re talking about earlier?

Morikawa: Huh?? OH YAH!

Azami: SHH!!

Aichi: Mo-Morikawa-kun, you’re gonna wake Hime up!

Hime flinched a little then she titled her head, then it fell on Aichi’s shoulder. But the gang didn’t seem to notice.

Azami:morikawa!
she whispered irritably
Azami:Have you forgotten?! Hime’s sleeping!!

morikawa: So-sorry…. Anyways, look what I found guys!

Azami: Huh??

Izaki: Oh! It’s the shop tournament flyer!

The gang started talking about the upcoming tournament, Aichi however-
Aichi: Hi-hime-san?!

He stared at hime, who has her head resting on Aichi’s shoulder.

Aichi: th-this is embarrassing, I have to wake her up! Or else…they’ll tease us! Hime-san might get mad again…

Hime: ….Mmmm.

Aichi: good! She’s starting to wake up! Hime-san! Hime-saaan!

Finally Hime opened her eyes
Hime: Huh?

Hime: KYAAAAH!
she quickly stood up

Azami, Izaki and Morikawa turned their heads, and found Hime and Aichi blushing like hell.

Azami: *smirks* Hehe, did something happened to you two?

Izaki: Are you guys alright? 

Morikawa: Yah, you guys are pure red!

Aichi and Hime: N-NOTHING HAPPENED!

Morikawa: Wo-woah! You don’t have to shout!

Izaki decided to change the subject

Izaki: Ai-Aichi! Look! There’s new shop tournament coming!

Aichi and Hime went back to normal

Aichi: oh! You were talking about this on the train the other day! 

Hime: the shop tournament…

morikawa: YAH! It’s a Vanguard showdown!

Aichi: hmm, I wonder if Kai will be there…

Izaki: it’s hard to tell, he’s not a shop regular so he might not be able to come.

aichi: Oh.

Morikawa: I don’t care whose entering, cause we all know who’s going to win anyway, right?! ME! HAHAHA!

Aichi: Uh..

Azami went to Hime
Azami: Are you...gonna join?

Hime:.....
suddenly, the faces of horror from her victims flashed in her head. She put her hands on her head
Hime: I...don't know
Hime went out of the classroom, she whispered
Hime: Lets.....just meet at cardcapital...tommorow.

Azami: *ah, that''s right...tom is saturday* 

As soon as Hime left the classroom, she went to the bathroom. She looked the bathroom door and looked at herself in the mirror, she just kept on staring when-

~back to aichi~ 
Aichi: morikawa-kun, I-Im going home now. See you tommorow.

Morikawa: Sure Aichi! Don't forget your cheering Morikawa speech. HAHAHAHA!

Aichi: Su-Sure.
Aichi was about to leave, when he decided to take the bathrrom first. Suddenly he heard a shriek over the girls bathroom which was beside the boys bathroom.

??: AAAH!!!!!!!!

Aichi: HUH?! Hi-Hime-san?!

When Hime stared at herself at the mirror, it was later replaced by another face the possessed Hime. The shouts of her victims began to fill her head.

Hime: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Suddenly she heard someone calling her name

Aichi: Hime-san!!

Hime: Aichi!

Aichi: i-is she ok? I want to talk to her, but going to the girls bathroom is forbidden.
Suddenly the door flew open, and a crying Hime appeared.

Hime: AICHI!!
she rushed towards Aichi, and cried in his chest

Aichi: E-EHH?!

Hime: Aichi!!! Help me!! Please!!

Aichi: Huh?! Wha-What is going on here?!

Hime: I-I hurt a lots of people, help me!!

Aichi: Wha-What should I do?!
Aichi did something what he thought it was for the best. He began patting Hime’s head

Himez: Huh….?
hime looked up.

Aichi: *blushes* ……
Aichi continued to pat Hime’s head.

Hime finally relaxes, and she closed her eyes.
Hime: ……………..!!!
Hime finally realize what she have done. She quickly pushed herself away
Hime: I’m sorry!!!
Then she ran off.

Aichi stood there, dumbfounded.
Aichi: what just happened

??: Sorry to surprise you like that..

Aichi turned around, and saw Azami standing there with a worried look on her face.
Azami:….

Aichi: Azami, what just happened?

Azami: …Hime, had a horrible past. And no matter what, she tries to bottle up the fear she’s been having all this time.She doesn’t really want to open up to us girls, she’s sacred to be judged. But since she has no guy friends, she bottles all that to herself. And today, she can’t really take it anymore.

Aichi:  Bu-But why me?

Azami smiled
Azami: You act like your total self when she’s around, plus you’re not really a bully. Unlike morikawa and Izaki…

Aichi: Huh?

Azami: You’ll know it soon enough, just keep playing Vanguard ok? She’s been calm ever since you played with her.

Aichi: …May I know her past??

Azami: …. I’m not the one who’s supposed to tell you that, wait for her.

Aichi went home after that. The Vanguard tournament poster, made him forget the conversation earlier. Hime however….

As soon as she went home
Hime: Tadaima…..

Ayumi: Okairi! ….??? What happened to you?

hime: leave me alone
Then she locked herself in her room.

~Then following day~
Aichi: This is it Aichi. You can do it!

Aichi entered card capital

Shin: Ok! Last two spots for the cardfight shop tournament!, who wants to sign in?!

Guy: I really want to join!

Guy: I don't really have the courage to enter though

Guy: Hey! I heard that the people  in the tournament are really great!

Aichi began to lose confidence

Guy: Eh?! There's no way I would win.

Aichi: ....maybe I'll enter anothor time?...
Aichi was about to leave cardcapital, but as soon as he head out

Aichi bumped someone (hard)
