Chapter 25 is here~ I don't own cardfight vanguard

"Your family.... I can tell that your mother and sister haven't moved on yet......"

The brunette replied, not wanting to go too deep into the topic so as to not concern the blue haired boy.

A sad smile creased the younger's lips as he listened to the response.

"I know it's selfish to be grateful but I am....."

Aichi whispered softly as he steadied himself slightly with the wall.

"It's not selfish Aichi, anyone would be glad that their family is still waiting for them!"

Aisen sighed, causing the brunette and Mizuha to both nod in agreement.

"Yeah..... But that also mean that they're probably still hurting from me being gone for so long....."

"Aichi......"

The brunette guessed that the younger boy was feeling guilty for leaving his family for so long, even though it wasn't his fault at all.

"I'm glad you're okay Kai"

A sweet smile graced the blue haired boy's lips, confusing the brunette.

"What do you mean? Shouldn't you be worrying about yourself?"

Mizuha asked, for he was curious as to why the most unhealthy one of the four of them was the one to worry about the more healthy people.

"Kai you were in the plane with me, so I'm glad you're okay as well"

The brunette nodded, doing his best to not frown when he remembered waking up in the hospital only to be told that he'd been unconscious for months and that his love had died.

"........ Yeah, I had been unconscious until just a few weeks ago. But I'm fine now"

Kai replied as he ruffled the soft blue locks, they were strangely soft despite there being no shampoo in the caves.

A light blush crept upon the blue haired boy's cheeks as the younger moved away from the older's reach out of embarrassment due to the presence of Mizuha and Aisen.

"Oh Aichi, I haven't officially introduced myself. My name name is Miroku Mizuha, but I dislike my first name so everyone calls me Mizuha. I'm Aisen's- your cousin's current lover"

The beige haired boy quickly added. The blue haired boy looked over and gave Mizuha a kind smile.

"Nice to meet you, sorry about the late formalities"

Aichi replied softly.

"Don't call Mizuha by his first name or he'll hit you!"

The cerulean haired boy laughed, causing the hazel orbs to narrow at him.

"Speaking from experience I presume"

Aichi laughed lightly before coughing a little. Concerned jades looked over towards the coughing boy.

"You sure you're okay Aichi?....."

"Yeah..... I just need to get a drink of water......"

The blue haired boy coughed before crouching down to take a drink out of the greasy water stream that the four of them had been following.

Kai raised a brow as he watched the younger boy cup the water with his hands and drink it.

"You have been drinking the water as it is all this time?"

Mizuha asked, slightly worried when he remembered that there were most likely no pots to hold water within the cave.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well the water isn't purified, even if its greasy water it could still get you sick..."

Aichi shrugged before standing up to continue following the rope with the others.

"Water purifiers haven't always existed so its fine"

Aichi sighed, the brunette was a little concerned yet relieved at the same time for the younger boy had stopped coughing.

"Maybe you should have a check up once we're out of here....."

The oldest sighed, not wanting to take any chances, even though he knew that his love hated being in the hospital. When ironically enough, was in one more often than the average person.

"No......"

"..........."

"The first thing I want to do is go get a haircut..... I'm pretty sure that I'm overdue for one"

Aichi sighed as he twirled a few strands of his long hair within his fingers.

The brunette allowed a small smile to crease his lips as he closed his eyes and sighed.

"Fine, haircut first then hospital"

"Ehhhhhh?!?!"

Aichi whined, causing the other two young boy's to laugh at his response to the brunette's suggestion.

The four of them continued to walk through the caves together, Aichi had gotten tired after a while so the brunette ended up carrying the overly light boy. It made the brunette a little uneasy that he could easily feel the younger's ribs as the boy slept upon his back.

Time passed quickly as the group of boys headed out of the caves by following the rope, nobody taking a break for they felt re-energized by the thought that they had completed their task in finding Aichi.

Eventually, the blue haired boy once again stirred into consciousness.

"Oh you're awake!"

Aisen chirped when he noticed the blue haired boy stirring.

"Yeah..... Sorry...."

Aichi yawned as the brunette let him off of his back.

"You woke up just in time, can you feel that?"

Sapphires looked into cerulean orbs in confusion before they widened in shock.

"Wind..... I can feel wind...."

The blue haired boy gasped, elated by cool sensation after not feeling it for four or so months.

"Yeah, that means that we're almost out of the caves"

Mizuha added before pausing when he noticed the tears that were streaming out of sapphires.

"Why are you crying Aichi? Mizuha what did you do to make him cry!"

Cerulean orbs narrowed at the beige haired boy who shrugged innocently.

"He did nothing wrong...... It's just..... I never thought that I'd actually be able to leave the caves..... I had given up..... On ever seeing the sun or feeling the wind....."

Aichi whispered softly as he tried to wiped the tears out of his eyes.

"By the way, why did you enter the caves in the first place?"

The beige haired boy asked, curious as to why someone who was injured would travel so far.

"I..... Don't know.... I was so scared when I woke up..... I was also confused.... I just wanted to go somewhere, the place didn't matter at the time. I just wanted to curl up and go to sleep...."

Aichi replied softly, causing a sharp pang of sadness within the brunette for he wasn't there to protect the younger.
