Watching from the sidelines, Kotori winced as she saw Yuma get knocked straight into a wall.
…
They were on their way to fight Vector, when said villain popped up. Yuma and Kotori had not expected the extra opponent though.
Nasch looked awful, yet his eyes were hollow, and he immediately began dueling Yuma when Vector commanded it.
…
Vector had paid no attention to her, deeming her as the "worthless cheerleader." But she wasn't completely helpless.
…
"Daddy?"
"Hmm?"
"Some of the boys in my class were being mean to Yuma and me again."
"Why don't you just hit them with something?"
Of course, her dad hadn't meant for her to actually take his words to heart, and he spent the next day explaining to her teacher why Kotori had hit two boys with a frying pan.
The bullies were surprised, and after feeling the brunt of her rage, terrified. They kept their distance from Yuma and her for the rest of the year.
Kotori decided that she would always keep that frying pan, just in case.
…
Kotori fingered the pan in her pocket, wondering what to do, and then deciding.
I've got to take out Vector. That's the only way Yuma and Nasch will both live.
She was terrified, but snuck towards Vector, trying to keep a firm grip on her weapon.
And fate was obviously against her as Vector turned around and leered at her. He began slowly advancing, and Kotori panicked just as Vector lunged at her.
*BAM*
Vector held his head, Kotori held her frying pan, and both wore surprised faces. That lasted about a second, and Kotori attacked again.
*WHAM*"That was for lying to all of us."
*CLONK*"That was for almost killing Yuma."
*BAM*
" That was for EVERYONE WHO DIED!"
Eyes tightly shut, Kotori kept beating Vector with her frying pan until someone tapped her shoulder. She swung first and then opened her eyes.
Yuma was staring at her with awe, and Nasch looked shocked.
"Kotori… That was awesome!"
