Meeting Team Asteroid

Aichi's eyes slowly opened to see and unfamiliar ceiling. He slow sat up and looked around. "Where am I? " Aichi wondered. He got out of the bed and the first thing he noticed was that his injuries were bandaged again. That's when he remembered what had happened previously. He stood up and noticed that he wasn't in pain, which he thought was odd considering on how normally when he is hurt that badly normally he would be in pain the next morning. Then there was a knock on the door. "Aichi? Can we come in?" Aichi heard. He recognized the voice, it belong to Ren. "Yeah, sure" Aichi replied. Then the door opened to reveal Ren, Tetsu and two others. "Hey there how did you sleep?" Ren asked. "G-Good, u-um t-thank y-you f-for l-l-letting m-m-me s-s-stay h-here f-for t-the n-n-night" Aichi stuttered. "Come on Aichi there is no need to be so stiff" Ren smiled. Aichi just nodded as a response. "Oh yeah I almost for got to introduce you guys. The blue haired girl is Asaka" "Hello, nice to meet you" Asaka smiled. "and the kid is Kyou" "Hey it's crusher Kyou!" Kyou yelled. "Well anyway we are team Asteroid" Ren explained. Aichi was more than just a little surprised at what he had heard. "Team Asteroid? You mean the team that won Nationals?" Aichi asked. "Yep!" Ren smiled. "Wow this is an honor" Aichi bowed. "There's no need to be so formal Aichi. After all, you saved me from being hit by a car" Ren replied. "Oh um okay Ren" Aichi replied. "That's better" Ren smiled. "Thank you for saving Ren" Asaka bowed. "Really it was nothing, after all I couldn't of just done nothing" Aichi replied. "Asaka can you please go make us some tea and Tetsu can you please go find Aichi some new clothes, oh yeah and a bag to put his old clothes in?" Ren requested. The two of them bowed and left the room. "Hey kid are you a card fighter" Kyou asked. "Yes but I'm still pretty I'm not very strong" Aichi replied. "Hmm well I'm bored, let's card fight kid" Kyou suggested. "Ehh but like I said I'm not very strong" Aichi reminded. "That doesn't matter, I'm bored and I feel like card fighting" Kyou replied. "You should fight Kyou I'm interested in how you play" Ren suggested. "U-Um okay then" Aichi replied. "Stand up, Vanguard!" They started.

"No way" Kyou gasped as the sixth card fell into his damage zone. "Weird throughout the match I kept on hearing voices telling me what to play, I listened and I won" Aichi thought. Ren looked at Aichi with interested. "This kid..." Then Tetsu and Asaka entered the room. "Did we miss something?" Tetsu asked. "Oh Aichi just beat Kyou in a cardfight" Ren replied. Tetsu and Asaka were shocked at the news. Then Asaka handed out the tea to every one. "Thank you" Aichi smiled. Asaka didn't say anything back she just smiled. "Hmmm Aichi how would you like to train here?" Ren asked. "I don't think I should"Aichi replied. "Whys that? If your worried about if your strong enough you just beat kyou and he is one of the best here" Ren asked. "Well I kind of already have a team" Aichi replied. "Well then the offer will still stand" Ren replied. They continued to drink their tea in silence, Aichi continuously felt nervous though. "Aichi how did you get those injuries yesterday?" Ren asked. Aichi didn't want to answer so he just looked down and said nothing. "Aichi come on please tell me"Ren begged. "Bullying" Aichi replied. "Why are you bullied?" Ren asked. "Because I have two friends and people think I don't deserve to be around them" Aichi replied. "I see, anyway Aichi Tetsu brought you some clean clothes and a bag to put the clothes you are currently wearing in, they are over there" Ren stated pointing to the end of the bed. They were just simple jeans and a blue shirt and a lighter blue sweater, there was also a plain white plastic bag beside the clothes. "Okay thank you for everything you have done for me" Aichi thanked. "Alright we will exit the room to let you change" Ren stated. Then he gestured everyone to leave with him. Then Aichi quickly put on the clothes that he was given. Afterwards he grabbed the clothes he was previously wearing and put them in the bag he was given. Then he exited the room.

He walked around for a bit looking for Ren and the others. Then he saw a group of four people. Two of them had green hair, another one had what looked to be pink hair and the last one had orange hair. Aichi approached them. "U-Um excuse me but do you know where Ren is?" Aichi asked them. They all looked towards him. "Who are you?" The one with orange hair asked. "I'm Aichi Sendou" Aichi introduced. "Aichi Sendou?" He questioned. "Your trespassing. Security!!" He called and all of a sudden a bunch of men in black shirts came. "This kid is trespassing" he explained. The men grabbed Aichi's arms and started dragging him. This continued until Aichi saw a flash of red hair which he knew belonged to "Ren!" Aichi called. Then Ren poked his head to see what was going on. When he saw what was going on a displeased look appeared on his face. "What's going on here?" Ren asked while he was walking over. "This kid is trespassing" one of the men explained. "No he isn't I brought him here yesterday. Let him go" Ren ordered in a very strict voice that was well in one word frightening. The men immediately let Aichi go. "Thank you Ren" Aichi bowed. "Sorry I didn't return, I had some things to take care of" Ren replied. "Ren I have to go home" Aichi stated. "Unfortunately I have to go to school and well judging by what had just happened I can't just leave you here and also it's best that you don't walk around to much with the injuries you have so that only leaves one option." Ren started. "What's that?" Aichi asked. "Your going to school with me!" Ren exclaimed. "Ehhh but I'm sure your older than me how will that work?" Aichi asked. "Well my family is really close to the school board so I could probably just explain and you would be let in" Ren explained. "But what about my school?" Aichi asked. "Hmm what school do you go to?" Ren asked. "Hitsue Middle school" Aichi replied. "Oh I can just give them a call saying that you can't go cause you are busy" Ren explained. Now Aichi knew there was no point in making excuse so he just agreed to go along with Ren's plan.
