" I wont ever to forgive her to laid hands on Yusaku. I will punched her with all my strength. " Kusanagi said, in anger manner
And they went acrossed from every part of Den City, to searched for Sumi's hideout. Meanwhile in the hotel room, Yusaku opened his eyes again.

He was surprised that he was on the hotel building.
" I was here in a hotel?! But how did I got in here? "
That when, Sumi went in.

But you are the most precious thing that I have with. After all, my only true desire is to that to be with you... my dear Yusaku-chan. "she said, with an evil amusement

Then, she kicked her down off to the floor, using her both feet, released Yusaku from her grasp.
" Are you alright, Yusaku? " Green Lantern Girl asked, approached to him
" Yes, I'm fine. " Yusaku replied
" I have to get you out of here. " Green Lantern Girl said in a hurry, grabbed his hand and she carried him away by jumping through the window
And that moment, Yusaku was blushing red on his face again when he was held carried by Green Lantern Girl on her arms.

" It was too dangerous for you to go back, as long as that evil woman will never find you anywhere. I will make sure that I will kept you safe away from her. " Green Lantern Girl told him
" But... I don't understand. Why you have known Sumi-san from the first place? Why are you doing this mission just for my sake? " Yusaku asked
" I'll explained that to you later. If that evil woman had never find you anywhere, I will carried you back home to your friends and family tomorrow. Is it that was okay for you? " Green Lantern Girl said

" I will. As the protector, I will do everything in order to protect you from harm. " Green Lantern Girl said
" Green Lantern Girl-sama... " Yusaku said, in a romantic way

" I wont let anyone to get my dear Yusaku-chan away from me! I will crushed her for good! " she thought on her mind, with an impatient manner
And she rode her car, to searched for Yusaku in every part of the Den City.

" Yes, I am. " Jeru responded and he thought again in his mind " Maybe she knows about my secret identity and also to my master too. "
" So.. why are you doing here? " Kusanagi asked
" By the way... what is the name of your master? " Ema asked Jeru (Note: This is the first time that she asked for Playmaker's real life persona)
" No... I can't tell to her about his name... or else... there will be a love triangle fight! What should I do?! " he thought, in a panicked manner
" Umm... are you alright, mouse boy? Just tell me your master name? " Ema asked
" Don't say it, Jeru-chan!! " Ai yelled
" No! No! I can't do that! If she finds out that she knows about my master's real secret... things will going torned down for good.

" So... can you tell me his name? " Ema asked
And he responded " My master name was Yusaku Fujiki, the real life persona of Playmaker. "
" What?! Are you out of your mind?! You can't tell his name and his real secret! " Ai protested, with a deep sigh breath
Ema, was surprised in shocked when he said the name of Yusaku for the very first time.
" No way... Playmaker was Yusaku Fujiki?! But why? He was quite very mature when I saw him in Link VRAINS. So... he was the one I saw from before at your hotdog shop. I never thought that he was actually very younger than when he's entered in Link VRAINS. " she said in surprise
" I will explained to you about that later, Ema-san... I mean... Ghost Girl. Can you helped us first to find him? " Jeru requested
" But why? " Ema asked
" He was went missing this morning at his home. We thought that he was held kidnapped by someone else, goes by the name Sumi Akano. " Takeru said in response
" Can you able to help us? You are a well skilled hacker and hunter. Are you willing to joined with us? " Jeru asked her
She nodded her head for a seconds then she responded " Of course, I will helped you out, Mouse Hero Boy... I mean... Jeru-chan. "
" Good to hear that, Ema-san... I mean... Ghost Girl.. " Jeru said, with a half smile expression
And Ema came along to searched for Yusaku. On the other hand, Green Lantern Girl bring Yusaku to her permanent home. Her house was looked like a headquarters.
" Wow! Your house was great! I had never seen this kind of home from before. " he said, with amazement
Then she placed him down on the large soft sofa.
" Just stay back right there. You can touched anything on the top of the table but don't stand up, okay? I must changed my outfit in my room. " Green Lantern Girl to him
" Okay " Yusaku responded
And she leaves off. After a hour later, Yusaku was still waiting for Green Lantern Girl to come back in.
" What's she taking so long? " he thought
But then suddenly, Midorina went back in, making Yusaku was surprised in curiosity.
" I'm back " Midorina said, as she entered the living room
" Midorina-sama? Why are you doing here? Where is Green Lantern Girl-sama? Why she didn't came back here in inside? " Yusaku asked
" Well actually... she had told me that I'll be the one to guard the house while she was away on a new mission. " Midorina responded and she thought on her mind " He didn't know that I'm Green Lantern Girl after all. "
" Oh, I see about that. I was started to feeled scared in fear of because of what happened to me a while ago. " Yusaku said
" Oh, you mean that evil woman Sumi-san? " Midorina asked him, correcting the hunction

She had escaped from the prison a long time ago.So that's why Green Lantern Girl send me here to protect you from harm and dangers including that evil woman. " Midorina said in response
Then, Yusaku nodded his head, in a silent manner.
" Yusaku? Are you alright? " Midorina asked
That moment, he rushed to her in terrify, hugged her tightly, making her to blushed in red reaction.
" I'm so scared that she will come to after me, I don't know on what should I do even though I'm trying to become courageous and brave but I can't take this by myself. That's why I need you to stayed by my side, Midorina-sama... always. " he said, with emotional expression
And Midorina said to him " Yusaku, I had promised to you that I will take care of you at all times from this day forward. I swear. I will remained to be your childhood friend forever... for real. "
" Midorina-sama... you are the only girl that I will loved with. I will never fall in love to someone else... forever. " Yusaku said, with romantic manner
And they are embraced with each other. Back when, it was already passed afternoon, Jeru and the others are still searching for Yusaku in every corner of Den City. A hour later of walking around, they are started to getting tired.
" Man... shall we continued to searched for him tomorrow? It was getting sunset already. " Takeru asked
" I think I guessed you are right. It was almost long hours of walking around in every corner of the city. " Flame stated
" I guess you are right. We need to continued to searched for him tomorrow. I hope that Master Yusaku-san was alright. " Jeru said and he told to Ema, said " Can you able to searched some secret informations about the mysterious woman named Sumi Akano-san? If you had find it, just transferred some of her secret informations to me. "
" I will, Mouse Hero Boy... I mean... Jeru-chan. " Ema responded
" Come on, let's go back. " Kusanagi said in a rush

" You say so, my dear nephew. I hope that we will meet that heroine in personal. " Jerry said, with a smiling expression and he asked him " Shall we meet up with Tom and the others at the mall? "
Back when at the house in which Midorina was temporary staying in, Yusaku was fixed himself, by facing through the mirror.
" There! " and he turned around, from back to back
This time, he weared a different clothes for the very first time that Midorina gave to him. After he fixed himself, he went downstairs. Midorina was on the dining room, prepared the foods for the dinner. When she saw him that he weared the new clothes that she gave to him, she glance at him with a smiling expression.
" Why are you smiling at me just like that? " Yusaku asked her
" You are so nice and handsome when you weared the new clothes that I gave to you. I hope you will loved it. " Midorina said, with another smiling expression
" Do you really think so? " Yusaku asked her again
" Of course and besides that you are my only childhood friend that I have with. " Midorina stated and she told him " Come, let's eat. "
The two are eating dinner together for the very first time.
" I had never eat with you for the very first time since I have stayed with Kusanagi-san at the hotdog shop along with my close pet, Jeru-kun. " Yusaku said to her
" No need to thank me, Yusaku. After all, I will continued to take care of you, in order to get you avoid from dangers. " Midorina said in response
That moment, he started to get closer to her by leaning to her side then Midorina changed the topic, asked him " Umm... I need to asked you for something. "
" Yes, what is it, Midorina-sama? " Yusaku asked, as he still kept leaning towards her
Meanwhile, Sumi was still went on searching around in every corner of Den City, to searched for Yusaku and to eliminate Green Lantern Girl. Suddenly, her cellphone was ringing from her pocket and she picked it up.
" Hello? " Sumi asked
A mysterious voice caller, said in response " Where are you now?! "
" I'm still here in the right corner of the second street. What do you want? " Sumi asked, with a little impatient expression
" Do you still remember our contact preposition meeting? I had already told to you from before a week ago that we will meet together at the parking lot at the mall by exactly 7:00 o clock pm sharp. " the mysterious caller told her
" Oh, I almost forgot. I was so very busy to searched for something this morning . " Sumi replied
" About what? Going after to that young man again? Are you insaning yourself? You had not doing your job responsibilities so well because of that searched for that favorite young man of yours from the past. " the mysterious caller said, with a little anger expression
She thought that she knows about her secret relationship with Yusaku from the past and then she responded, in apologizing way " I'll be right there, Sir. My apologies. " and she put down her cellphone on her pocket
Then she rode her car, going to the mall parking lot in which she will gonna met up with the mysterious client that she had called with.
" Next time, I will make sure that I will get him if I don't have any jobs to do and to crushed that green haired warrior girl... Just wait for me, my dear Yusaku-chan... wherever you are... I will still continue on finding you... for real. " she thought

Back at the house, after when Midorina asked him, the two were looking at each other for a moment, face to face, in a romantic manner.
After a moment of seconds, Yusaku responded, asked " What thing that you will gonna asked me? "
" About your first encounter with that evil woman, named Sumi Akano-san from the past. Can you explained it that to me? " Midorina asked
Yusaku, nodded his head, terrify in fear in silent mood when she mentioned the name of Sumi to him. He gripped his both hands, with a little anger on his face.
" I can't really forgive her... for what she had done to me 10 years ago since before I met you... after the Lost Incident. When I was taken in a school center for the lost children just like me, who had goes in the same incident. I thought that good things will gonna changed my life, in order to forget my terrifying trauma until that time, Sumi Akano-san was one of the activists helpers in that school center. She was deeply close to other childrens especially when it's comes to teaching. But when she had trained me, I thought at first that she was very kind to others because of helping other people however things are going to be torned down in to the dept of darkness." Yusaku stated
" And then what happened? " Midorina asked
Then, Yusaku went on telling his story to her " I had discovered her real hidden secret personality. That night after she had tutored me in the classroom, she brings me in a mysterious room that I had never seen from before. That very moment, she had locked up the door room and that's how she had started to hurt me so badly. "
(Flashback)
In an empty room, Young Yusaku was sat on the floor, terrify in fear, as Sumi approached to him.
" Sumi-san... What think are you doing? "
" Oh come on... don't be such a frightening person to me. I will wanted to make you something so very special. "

Then, she get near to him and after that she pinned him down on the floor, in a lying position. She hold both of his hands put down through her own hands. That very moment, he can't able to move.

" Oh... my dear Yusaku-chan... you are my precious pupil that I ever met. After all, I will give you everything as you wanted to, in a condition to become my slave. "
" please... don't do this! please... "
" Oh.. it will be... I'm a criminal... you know that... "
And she started to harassed him. Young Yusaku has no other choice but to cried in fear, as she continued harassing him.
Then, Yusaku went continued saying " That's the first time that I was experiencing of harassment and abused from her. I was totally very helpless and defenseless. I was trying to move away from her but in the end I had given up. The next two days, some of the other fellow activists teachers including some of the other children had found me, laying unconscious on the floor, without any of clothes that I weared. When the activists telled me about of what happened to me, I had tell to them everything of what happened. Since after that incident, Sumi-san didn't returned back to the school center. I was trying to forget about the incident that was haunted me for the very first time in my life however I was still in terrify that she will returned back again until the next month that I met you for the very first time. I had totally forgotten all about of what she did to me. "
(Flashback Stops)
" I never realized that Sumi-san was a criminal person after all... It was truly unforgivable! " he said, with a little anger expression on his face
" I been heard that she was arrested by the police 3 years ago due to some cases of killing attempts in every across from Japan. " Midorina stated
" When I was 13 years old at that time, I was been shocked in horror that she had escaped from the prison jail last week. At first, I thought that I will be safe from her but however when I found her in the street..." Yusaku said
(Flashback Continues)
At the left corner of the street, Yusaku was walking across to the waiting shed. That moment, he saw Sumi, wearing different clothes and then he was shocked in horror when he saw her, realized that she was already escaped from the prison jail a week ago. Sumi, turned around, looked at him, with evil glare on her face. He tried to run away as he could however Sumi provoked him.
" Where did you think are you going? Are you trying to run away from me just like that? "
" What think are you doing in the city? I never thought that you are already put in the prison jail 3 years ago. "
" I had been escaped from the prison, with the help of my close ally of mind. The police are quite completely so foolish. And so, I will find you of course... isn't right, my dear Yusaku-chan. It was a long time that we didn't seen each other. "
Yusaku's facial expression turned madly in rage, said to her " After all those years that you had been abused me so badly, I was trying to forget that incident that it was haunted me in my entire life. I was trying to move forward to lived a brand new life, without any of bad experiences anymore. So... stay away from me and I don't need you anymore again! "
He turned around, walked away from her. Sumi, trying to pulled his hand, forcefully and she attempted to removed his uniform coat away.
" Just come with me, my dear Yusaku-chan. "
" I won't ever to come with you, Sumi-san!! Just leave me alone! "
And he pushed her away then he went on walked away on the road.
" Someday... I will make everything in order to returned back to me again... the one and only my dear Yusaku-chan... " she thought
After that, she walked away, going in other direction.

" You will? " Yusaku asked
" Of course, I will be remained to stayed by your side at all times, to protect you from harm. " Midorina said to him, with full of determination
And the two embraced each other, by through hugging, making Yusaku cried in emotional, with teardrops fell from his eyes.
