Entrenched Love

Aichi

"I hope Kai's alright..." I murmured to myself.

It's been a week since Kai found out about Miwa's death, and I haven't seen him once.

I thought about all the times I've been saved by Kai. He's cared for me all these years...

I needed to do something for him. Maybe a cardfight?

I pulled out my cell phone and called Kai. He picked up on the third ring.

There was a pause. Then he answered.

"Hello?" he inquired.

I smiled at the sound of his voice, the warmth soon depleting.

"Hey," I replied. "I was wondering if you wanted to meet up? Maybe we could cardfight?"

There was a long pause. I heard him sigh hesitantly.

"Aichi, I... I can't-"

"Please, Kai," I cut him off.

He hesitantly agreed, and after arranging to meet at Card Capital, I went off to my destination.

It was odd. I thought of the filling warmth that filled me at the sound of Kai's voice. Is that normal? I didn't know.

I just knew I would make sure he's okay. I would be there for him.

No matter what.
