The girls finished their bath, got dressed, and entered Yuma's room. "Yuma~ I'm surprised you didn't try to peak on us in the bath like the naughty boy you are~. " Cathy said with a devious smile.

"I would never do that! Don't treat me like a pervert Cathy!" Yuma replied in annoyance.

"Haha, I was just messing with you. Your reactions are the best so I can't help it." The catgirl said with a chuckle. She was then smacked on the back of the head by both Kotori and Anna.

"Anyway, are you feeling better Anna? You were unconscious for a while before." Yuma asked worryingly.

"Ha! Of course, I'm fine. Did you really think that those assholes could seriously injure me? I was just taking it easy on them! If you didn't show then I would have kicked all of their asses!" Anna said with a proud and confident look on her face.

"Anna, stop trying to act tough. It's ok to ask for help when you need it, you know? We all need it sometimes for any number of reasons. Besides, I was really worried about you." Yuma said as he stared into the red head's eyes. This caused the girl to look away and change her expression to a sad one. She then visibly hesitated to speak but then uttered the words.

"Yuma….. Thank you for saving me….."

"Anna, we're all here for you. If you ever need our help then don't hesitate to ask." Kotori said as she was adding on to what Yuma was saying.

"Hey! What am I, chopped liver? I was there too you know." Cathy added as she stood back up.

"Shut up, you perverted cat! All you think about is perverted things!" Anna said as she and Cathy started fighting again, but in a much more lighthearted way then when they dueled before. Yuma and Kotori could tell that even though the two aren't showing it, they do respect each other now.

Suddenly, the sound of a clock echoed and everyone looked at it. "Oh, shit! It's already this late?!" Anna said as she quickly got her stuff together, dashing off. "Sorry guys, but my parents need me home before dinner! Cya!" Anna ran off in a hurry, deploying her hover and flying away.

"I better go as well," Kotori said. "My mother is going to get worried if I stay too long. Bye guys!" She said as she left.

"They sure are in a hurry…" Yuma muttered, then felt the touch of Cathy from behind, making him tense up.

"But now we are alone-" Yuma's phone ringed, he answered, his sister was angry. The girl shouted so loudly even Cathy heard her. She sighed. "Go. But be sure to come back!"

"Of course!" Yuma ran off.

Cathy giggled seeing them go. She was glad everything was ok in her little paradise, and now it was also time for her to take her catnap.

Anna arrived home just in time, her parents already at the table. "Sorry, I'm late!" She said putting her cannon away and going to the table.

Her mother and father laughed simply, telling her it was ok, but then the tension went up. "Anna?" Her father called out to her.

"Yes?" She responded, looking up to her father. Her father was a tall and bulky man with a normal-sized brown beard and deep green eyes. Her mother meanwhile was average sized with short black hair and blue eyes.

"Sweetie, I have some news." He said going into his jacket and pulling out a piece of paper. "I got a job offer, and it pays well."

"That's awesome!" Anna cheered.

"But we have to move out of Heartland." Then the bomb hit.

"... what?" The young girl asked as she wanted to make sure that she heard correctly.

"We will be moving to a new city in a week." The man continued, Anna's expression shifting slowly. "I hope it's not too sudden-" He didn't get to finish as the girl ran to her room, her mother sighed.

"I told you you should've broken the news to her more gently." The woman said.

Meanwhile, in her room, Anna ran to her bed.

"I... I have to leave Heartland? Right after I confessed my feelings for Yuma and even formed a relationship with him, Kotori, and Cathy? No way... I have to tell daddy to not take the job! It's the only way!" Anna was saying to herself as she heard her bedroom door open.

"Are you here, sweetie?" Her mother walked in, Anna facing the other way. "Look, I know you might not like this, but it's for your own good."

"How?" Anna asked, trying not to sob.

"We will be able to afford a better life, for example, and-"

"No, I mean how it is better for me? I only managed to confess my feelings to a boy today, you know." Anna said, expecting a reaction from her mother, but the next words surprised her.

"We know." She said. "We also know about the other girls...Kotori's mother called."

"You know?" Anna half-shouted in surprise. "But then...Why?"

Because we don't want to see you suffer." Her mother said, a firm tone to her voice. "Such relationships are doomed, sweetie. There is no other outcome but heartbreak at the end."

"Wrong! Yuma cares for all of us equally! He'd never favorite any one of us!"

"Yuma? So that's his name…" She muttered, but then looked Anna in the eyes as she continued. "I don't expect you to understand, not now. But I know that one day, you will." She got up. "Goodnight, sweetie." She left the room, leaving Anna to scream in her pillow.

But her husband was just outside the door. "You could've broken the news better, you know."

"Oh, shut up." She said, then they both headed for their own rooms.

"Dammit…. DAMMIT!" Anna kept repeating to herself over and over again as she kept punching her pillow and screaming into it while crying. She didn't know what to do. On one hand, she could try to reason with her parents, but she knew that once they made their mind up on something, that was that. You could say it's a trait that the young girl got from them. Her parents offered her food but she would only scream to go away. The end of the night came and Anna somehow managed to cry herself to sleep.

The next day came and Yuma, along with Cathy and Kotori, was in the cafeteria, enjoying their lunch. But for some reason, Anna was nowhere to be found. The trio got worried, because they did see her at the entrance, but not at all afterward. They spread out to search for her, but Kotori had a feeling where she might be.

"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" Anna kept repeating over and over to herself while crying in one of the stalls in the bathroom.

Kotori came in, and heard her, immediately running to her. "Anna! There you are! We've been looking for you-" The red-haired girl immediately jumped in Kotori's arms, drawing the poor girl in her chest.

Safe to say Kotori was a bit envious.

"Kotori, what am I supposed to do?! What do I do?!" She repeated while crying.

"Anna!" Kotori said as she took some distance from Anna's chest, gasping for air. "What are you talking about?"

"My parents told me that we're moving away from Heartland! And they said that one of the reasons is to get me away from the relationship that I've formed with you guys! What am I supposed to do?!" Anna shouted out.

Kotori was shocked by her words. "What? But how do they know?"

"Your mother called them! Apparently, she knew about our relationship somehow! I don't know how though!" Anna shouted.

"Oh no. We told her a while ago, she found us out. But I didn't know she was aware of you as well!" Kotori said. "I...I don't know what we can do."

"I don't want to leave Kotori!" Anna shouted out. She then lowered her voice to say something that was difficult to say. She collapsed to the bathroom floor and kept crying And uttered the words: "Kotori…. Help me….."

"I don't know what to do…" Kotori said. "Anna, We might not be able to do anything."

"Then what do we do?" She asked sobbing.

"I say we make the most out of the time we have left," Kotori suggested, and Anna looked up at her. "We go out with Yuma and Cathy, have fun, everything we want until you have to leave."

"Kotori….. is there really no other option?" Anna asked.

"None that I can see…" She answered with regret.

"Fine….. just please….. don't tell Yuma. I don't want him to fight with my parents and get himself in trouble….. it will only cause him pain…." Anna pleaded.

"Alright...I won't" Kotori said then Anna began sobbing again. But this time, Kotori was there with her.

After a bit, the 3 met up again, Kotori faking her lack of worry. "Did you guys find Anna?" Yuma asked.

"I did," Kotori answered. 'She was unwell, so she went home for the day."

"I see," Yuma said.

"What now?" Cathy asked.

"Actually, I wanted to propose something" Kotori spoke up, earning both of their attention. "How about we all go on a date? I don't think Anna has been with all of us yet, so this is a perfect chance" She said, the other 2 giving it some thought...Or not as Cathy jumped instantly.

"That's a wonderful idea!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah. How about we do it at the weekend? That way we're all gonna have a good time!" Yuma added.

"That's perfect!" Kotori exclaimed. "I'll let Anna know. For now, let's get back to class* she said. And there goes the bell.
