My Vanguards

Untitled part 20

Miwa smiled and turned on music playing inside the club. A disco-ball appeared from the ceilling, with pretty lights, foods, and the lamp-lights went off

Miwa: Since the game is over, its time we danced!!!!

Guests: Yayyy!!!

From the very moment the music started, Morikawa approached Kourin

Morikawa: Oh my dear Kourin-san, please dance with me!!

Kourin: No, thanks

Morikawa: What?!

Kourin: You yell all the time in my ears! I will dance with Rekka and Suiko, stay away from me please

Kourin left Morikawa alone. As a result, he went next to Kamui's asleep body and started crying.

Ren: Well, since Aichi-kun asked for it, i have to sing!

Asaka: Good luck, Ren-sama!

Ren approached Asaka's ear with a smile

Ren: It was indeed Aichi the one who asked for it, but you need to know, this song is for you

Asaka looked shocked at Ren's eyes, and he laughed cheerfully. After that, he took a microphone Miwa gave him, and started singing "Vanguard", while Asaka was looking at him, listening, admiring... Kourin, Rekka and Suiko were dancing in a circle with Miwa, Izaki and Tetsu were dancing alone while talking, and Emi was dancing with Aichi. Naoki, Kai and Misaki were the only ones who werent dancing

Naoki: Misaki, come dance with me!

Kai approached them and got between Naoki and Misaki

Kai: I am sorry, Miwa was clear with the game's rules. She is allowed to dance only with me tonight

Naoki: Why the hell are you doing this, Kai, since you heard what i said to Misaki before?

Misaki: Stop it Naoki, Kai is right. Anyway, just as i said before, i have no feelings for you...i am sorry. Lets go Kai

Kai blushed slightly and led Misaki to the dance floor. Both Ren and Asaka saw them and smiled

Kai: You know... its ok if you dont want to dance with me...

Misaki: No, you said yourself that the game's rules were clear...

Kai: R...right...

Kai put his hand around Misaki's waist, when she took his hand and started dancing slowly at Ren's voice beat. They were staring into each other's eyes during their dance, and when they realised it, they both blushed and looked away. Naoki, at the same time, was staring at them with a deadly expression on his face.

Naoki: Toshiki Kai.. there is no way i let you have Misaki this easy...

At the same time, Ren's beautiful voice was heard everywhere, forcing all the guests to dance. Asaka was looking at his form with a smile, when he closed his eye to her

" Vanguard uso ja nai ze ima hajimaru densetsu
mirai e to michibiite yuke! Go!
wakiagaru kono omoi osaerarenai
nanimokamo nugisutero get crazy way
tomerannai nigerannai
aitsu ga dokoka de ore o yonderu
yaru tokya yaru ze makkou batoru
iku ze! Hurry up!
daremo jama wa sasenai! 3-2-1 Let's go!
Vanguard tamashii no oku wakiagaru imeeji
kiseki to tomo ni yobiokose
Vanguard ima bokura wa makka na honoo ni nari
mirai e to kakenukete yuku final turn"

The song went on, when suddenly Miwa approached Asaka while dancing

Miwa: Hey, Asa-chan! You are not dancing?

Asaka: Um.. i am actually waiting for Ren-sama to finish...

Miwa: There is no way i let a guest alone while everyone else is dancing! Come with me!

Miwa grabbed Asaka's hands and went to the dance floor. Ren was looking at them, worrying that Asaka might forget him even for one moment.
Kai and Misaki were dancing non-stop, both surprised by each other's dancing abilities. Kai then remembered Asaka's advice, that he had to take advantage of this chance. He was feeling very akward, but he tried talking to Misaki

Kai: Tokura, um.. nice dress..

Misaki: Uh?

Kai: Oh.. nevermind...

Misaki blushed slightly and looked into Kai's emerald green eyes

Misaki: Tell me, Kai... why did you order me to do something like that?

Kai: Well, that is... um... actually, i was afraid of what Naoki could force you do tonight, so i.. chose to help you

Misaki: Is it only that?

Kai stared at her for a while. He had suspicions of what Misaki meant, but he was not sure

Kai: Maybe yes, maybe no...

Misaki sighed

Kai: What do you intend to do with Naoki's case? It doesnt seem that he will leave you alone for a while

Misaki: Well, at least i am safe for tonight...

I make her feel safe is what Kai said to himself

Misaki: ...but right after that, i dont know. He comes to Card Capital everyday...

She is afraid...

Misaki: ... even now he is staring at us. It really doesnt feel like the Naoki i knew, so please, Kai, be carefull too

And she is worrying for me...

Kai nodded and glanced at Naoki. He was indeed staring

I need to find a way to protect her...

Kai: Tokura, i think i can help you...

Misaki: Really? How?

Kai: Well.. nevermind, forget it...there is no way you would want this..

Misaki: Tell me!

Kai saw Misaki's demanding eyes, and felt his world going round and round...he couldnt dissobey

Kai: Ok... It is a common trick: you have to persuade him that you have a boyfriend

Misaki: And... will he leave me alone?

Kai: I am not sure, but if he has any pride, he will stop chasing you

Misaki: Sound logical... but... who will pretend to be my boyfriend? Ren has issues with Asaka, Aichi with Kourin, as well as Morikawa, Kamui with Emi, i am not tall enough for Tetsu, Izaki is the worst actor ever, Miwa will propably think that i am really his girlfriend...

Kai: Tokura...

Kai touched Misaki's both shoulders and approached her

Kai: ... i am the best choice you have. Naoki might already believe that i am your boyfriend... It will look very weird if you say that someone else is... Also, you also need to have a reason why you didnt tell your other friends about it...
Misaki blushed to death. Kai was right, and serious. She couldnt believe she would be Kai's girlfriend, even though it would be just a trick

Misaki: F...fine... you can pretend to be my boyfriend...

Kai: Alright...

Kai saw Misaki was blushing, and he blushed too, while stepping away

Misaki: Now, how will he believe it? We cant suddenly say it!

Kai: I know...

Kai and Misaki noticed that Naoki was coming to their place, determind to take Misaki away

Misaki: Oh no... Kai, could you please close your eyes?

Kai: Why?

Misaki: Just do it...

Kai didnt know what Misaki wanted to do. When he closed his eyes, he felt her fingers touching his skin on his cheeks, approaching him, and in the end, putting her lips on his.
