"Well, well, long time no see Yuma. It's been more than 2 years now i'd say. Can't say that i'v missed you though" Yuya said as he stared at Yuma.
"Why Yuya? Why are you doing this? What has Anna done to you to deserve this? She was in love with you in elementary school! How could a person as nice as you do something like this to her?!" Yuma said as he remembered the times that he, Kotori, and Yuya would play together.
"Yuma, those days are long behind me, if you've been through the experience I went through then you would change too. And her so called "love" only brought me suffering! She's brought me nothing but trouble and now she's getting back what she deserves." He said as he gave a glare of hatred towards Anna.
"Look, I don't know exactly what Anna did for you to end up hating her like this, but it could never be enough to warrant doing this and I'm not going to just stand back and watch! Duel me here and now Yuya! If I win then you apologize to Anna and let her go!" Yuma said as he got out his deck.
"Duel you? Just what kind of fool do you take me for? I know about your exploits and I would be stupid to take you on. But if you truly insist on interfering, then I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my allies from putting you in the same spot as her." Yuya said as he didn't want to hurt Yuma if at all possible.
"That's right Tsukumo! So if you know what's good for you then you'll-" one of the boys was saying as he got suddenly slammed to the ground face first.
"Who the hell are you?" Yuya said as he looked at the person in front of him.
"Cathy! You came after all! I knew you would never abandon a friend." Yuma said as he stared at the silver haired girl in front of him.
"Get the hell away from my friend….. RIGHT NOW YOU BASTARD!" Cathy said in a heated rage as she started beating up the other boys around Yuya.
"Anna, don't worry, I'm gonna get you loose." Kotori said as she silently crept towards Anna while Yuya and the others were distracted.
"Kotori, how did you guys know where I was? I ran away pretty fast so that you wouldn't be able to follow me." Anna said in a weak tone.
"It was Cathy. She had her cats go around the area to find you. It didn't take them long to find you and report back to us. Though I'm surprised that Cathy herself is here since she said she was busy doing something else. The plan was for Yuma to duel Yuya while I freed you but That didn't work out. Thankfully though, Cathy came after all. But the main reason I'm glad That she did is because it shows that she really does care about you." Kotori said in a sweet tone as she finished untieing her friend.
"Here Anna, take my sweater. You need to cover yourself up." Kotori said as she took off her sweater and put it on her red haired friend who was trying to cover her breasts from being seen.
"Thanks Kotori. I owe you one." Anna said as she finished putting on the sweater that Kotori gave her.
"Don't worry about that. Remember all the times you helped me deal with bullies in elementary school? This is my chance to finally help you." Kotori said as she was happy that she could do something for her friend.
"Give up you bastards. I'm much more agile than Anna so you guys aren't gonna take me out." Cathy said as the boys then charged towards her again. She used her small size to her advantage as she dodged the blows and tricked the boys into hitting each other. The cat lover however doesn't exactly have the best of stamina so her movements start to slow down. The boys however were still tired from fighting Anna and thus made it easier for Cathy to beat them. Using the last of her strength, she slammed the last two boys in front of her into the ground.
"There, that takes care of all of them. I'm glad that I occasionally practice my flexibility with my cat friends, otherwise that would have been bad." The silver haired girl said as she fell to the ground from exhaustion.
"What the, what am I supposed to do now?" Yuya said as he realized the hopelessness of the situation. Suddenly, he was slammed to the ground by the red haired girl behind him while he was distracted. As he hit the ground, he noticed that Kotori had freed the girl that he had tied up.
"Damn it… I should have known that Kotori would be here too since Yuma was." Yuya said as he struggled to move.
"You're such a bastard Yuya. While I didn't know how you were doing in middle school, I never would have thought that you would turn out like this. I used to really respect how nice you were. But that's all fucking gone now. Now YOUR gonna get what's coming to you." Anna said as she took the knife that Yuya had in his hand and then positioned her hand to stab him with it.
"Cathy, are you alright? That looked like it took a lot out of you. I honestly didn't think you could do that. It was really cool!" Yuma said as he was impressed by what he saw while looking at her with astonishment in his eyes.
"Thanks Yuma and yes i'm alright, just tired. Wait, Is that idiot going to do what I think she's going to? Kotori, stop her!" Cathy said as she noticed what it looked like Anna was going to do.
"Wait, please stop! I'm sorry! PLEASE don't kill me!" Yuya said as his physical pain was now overcome with fear at the sight he saw.
"Anna, don't do it! It's not the right thing to do!" Kotori said as she got ready to stop Anna from stabbing Yuya. Suddenly to everyone's surprise, Anna threw the knife on the ground near her.
"There. Now you've felt the same fear that I did when you pointed that knife at me. You're just lucky that I don't have my cannon with me. Otherwise you REALLY would have felt that fear. Anyway, now we're even." Anna said as she had a relieved look on her face.
"Why. Why did you hesitate? You caused me all this suffering already so why are you now suddenly caring about my well being? Is it the love you were talking about before?" Yuya said as he didn't understand why Anna doesn't take the chance to seriously hurt him.
"Don't take it the wrong way! I have nothing but hate for you now. The reason I'm not going farther is because I'm not a psycho who takes pleasure in hurting others. Also, I understand that all of this is partly my fault for being so mean to you in the first place. I understand now how love is really supposed to be shown. You have to be upfront and in the guy's face." Anna said.
"Um….. I think there's a bit more to it than that Anna." Kotori said to herself as she realized that between her, Cathy, and Anna, Anna is the most like Yuma in a lot of ways, especially in their ignorance to the feelings of someone that cares about them.
"So what now. I'm guessing that you're going to call the police." Yuya said as all the boys around him woke up and realized the true severity of the situation that they were in.
"Well you did beat the hell out of me and attempted to rape me. I think that would be warranted." The red haired girl said as she looked around to the other boys.
"I guess I deserve-" Yuya was saying but was cut off by Anna.
"But you know what? I'm not going to. As long as you all promise never to come near me or my friends again then you can go free. But I warn you now, if you EVER try to hurt the people I care about as revenge, I'll make sure to put you out of your misery with my cannon. We clear guys?" Anna said as she glared at all the boys around her except Yuma.
"Y-yes mam!" All the boys except Yuma and Yuya said in unison as they all got up and ran away as fast as they could. Just as Yuya was about to do the same, Yuma stopped him.
"Why Yuya? Why did you end up like this? I thought that we were friends. What could have made you give all that up for this?" Yuma said as he wanted to know why his former friend turned into someone who could do something so horrible to Anna.
"I'm not gonna try and excuse my actions since nothing I say is going to matter anyway. Just ask Anna later about what happened." Yuya said as he then looked up at Anna.
"Anna, thank you for showing me mercy like this. In return, I promise never to approach you or the others again. Goodbye" Yuya said as he got up and walked away from the scene.
"Yuya…" Anna said in a regretful tone of voice at the fact that she indirectly caused her former love interest to become like this. She then collapsed to her knees in exhaustion just as Cathy had before.
"Anna!" Kotori said as she caught her friend as she was falling while Yuma carried Cathy on his shoulders.
"Guys, let's go back to my house. We can rest there." Cathy said as she clung to Yuma like a child does to their mother.
"Yuma's back is so manly…. I'm so glad that I'm the one being carried this time~" Cathy thought to herself as she intentionally pressed her chest in particular into Yuma's back.
"C-Cathy, what are you doing? I'm holding you just fine already so you don't need to cling so much." Yuma said as a blush on his face appeared as he secretly knew what Cathy was doing.
"Awwww~ but Yuma, you know you like it~." Cathy said as she rubbed her chest area around Yuma's back.
"Would you stop it already Cathy! Yuma Is carrying you because he has to, not to satisfy your perverted ideas!" Kotori said as she blushed at the sight of what her cat friend was doing.
"As if Yuma would enjoy the feeling of a washboard being rubbed against him anyway." Anna said in a mocking tone as she was attempting to annoy Cathy in retaliation for her antics.
"I think he would probably be knocked to the ground by your fat udders if you tried to press them into him." Cathy said as she made a smirk towards Anna to show that she was the winner in this situation. The red haired girl was beginning to look mad but quickly calmed down.
"Cathy, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I don't even know what would have happened to me." Anna said as she had a sincere look on her face to which Yuma and Kotori reacted with a surprised look at the fact that Anna was keeping her anger in check when they were used to seeing her burst out.
"But I didn't really do much. All I did was lead us here. You were the one that convinced those guys to flee." Cathy said in a shy tone as she was very shocked that Anna said such a thing to her. Cathy didn't know how to feel about this but a warm feeling emerged in her heart.
"But if you, Yuma, and Kotori didn't arrive when you did, I never would have been able to accomplish that. You really saved me there. From the bottom of my heart, thank you." Anna said as she blushed at the fact that she was being so nice to Cathy when normally she wouldn't even dream of such a thing. She knew however that despite what happened earlier between the two of them, Cathy proved that she truly did care about her and Anna wanted to show that she felt the same way towards her.
"N-nice problem I guess." Cathy said as she also blushed at the thought that she was being nice towards Anna.
"See? I knew you two could get along if you tried." Kotori said with a happy and relieved look on her face at the fact that her two fellow girlfriends of Yuma were finally getting along.
"Yeah! You guys really are awesome when you're getting along. Now let's get back to the mansion." Yuma said as he and Kotori headed back to Cathy's house while carrying the other 2 girls.
