Kuguru and Baku walked in the shopping district. They held bags containing what they needed for the party. They were at the third floor and looked around.

"It's nice that you invite me at the party. I'm sure there will have lots of food," Baku said with a smile as he followed her.

"No problem. I talked with Gao and we split the invitations. He wanted to invite his new friend and also Noboru," Kuguru replied with a smile. She sighed, "It would have been fun if Ironchain was already back. He would have come to the party."

"I don't think he would fit in," Baku replied.

"One thing is sure, every buddy will be cute with what they were asked to bring," Kuguru commented.

"If Ironchain did like the others, what would you say?" Baku asked.

Kuguru imagined it, "Shamefully blushing. That would be cute."

Baku chuckled, "At least, you imagine his reaction with some realism," Baku stomach grumbled, "Let's stop and eat something. It's diner time soon."

"Let's do that," Kuguru agreed.

They walked toward a restaurant when they heard something. They heard something metallic falling on the ground and then saw something they weren't expecting.

"AH!" they saw it running away.

They saw it was a biped cat being chased by a dog.

"Leave me alone! I'm not a cat!" the biped cat yelled.

They silently watched it.

Baku sighed, "We should go now. I'm hungry."

Kuguru eyes turned into hearts and said, "That cute cat needs help!"

She chased after them.

"Wait! Dammit. I'll have to wait longer before eating," Baku whined before following them.


Chapter 38: Kuguru New Buddy

Kuguru stopped when she reached an intersection. She looked left and right and asked, "Where are they?"

"Miaw!" she heard to her left.

"That way!" Kuguru yelled.

Baku tried to catch her, but saw her running to the left, "She's... never tired when... it's something about cat," before continuing running after her.

Kuguru continued she saw the biped cat caught in a corner by the door.

The cat was clearly not an ordinary one. It had white and gray fur with darker gray stripes and his tail. He wore a hat with feathers, red cape, with a brown jacket and magenta and brown pants. The cat had a small rapier as a weapon.

"No! Please don't eat me!" the cat said.

Kuguru saw the dog about to attack. She walked behind the dog and said, "Leave the cat alone!"

"I'm not a cat!" the cat replied.

The dog turned toward Kuguru and showed his fang.

Baku arrived and suggested, "Kuguru. You should-"

She glared at the dog. The dog whined and ran away.

Baku looked at her and said, "That must be scary."

"Anything for the poor cat," Kuguru replied.

"I'm not a cat miaw!" the cat replied. "I come from legend world. My name is Cat Sith with boots. But call me Cat Sith."

Baku was silent and thought, as he looked strangely at the cat, Cat Sith. There's literally the word cat in it. Also... with boots? Okay. He wore boots, but to name himself Cat Sith With Boots. Weird.

"I'm sorry. Hello Cat Sith. Are you alright?" Kuguru asked with a smile.

Cat Sith took a step backward and replied, "Y-yeah."

"It's a good thing I was there. That dog could have hurt you," Kuguru replied.

"T-Thank you," Cat Sith replied.

"Why did that dog chase you?" Baku asked.

Cat Sith hesitated to reply for a few seconds until saying, "I am hungry and I tried to eat that thing he chewed. I bit it, but taste nothing."

"I guess it was the dog's toy," Baku concluded.

"I'm still hungry. Maybe I shouldn't have come here," Cat Sith said lightly sad.

Kuguru walked closer and replied, "Come with us. We will buy you something to eat."

"Really?" Cat Sith asked.

"Yes," Kuguru replied.

"Finally we'll eat something," Baku said.

"Follow us," Kuguru said.

Cat Sith followed them to a restaurant.

"Let's get some Tempura," Kuguru said. She took out her purse and got a card.

"Hello. What can I prepare for you?" the man working there asked.

"We want Tempuras for the three of us," Kuguru replied.

The man looked at Cat Sith who wasn't in his sight the first time he looked at the kids. He frowned and glared at him before replying, "We do not serve on of their kind here."

Baku frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Those monsters from other worlds doesn't deserve to eat my food. I will not serve them food," the man replied, glaring at Cat Sith, "They are just here to consume everything we have."

Cat Sith tail lowered as his ears did the same.

Kuguru replied, "You cannot refuse to serve Cat Sith. The laws forbid you to do this."

"The government is doing the wrong thing by accepting them to come here. They should just go back to their world and never come back. This is Earth, not cat world," the man replied.

Tension started to rise when Baku replied, "You can't say something like that! They are like us!"

"They are monster! I'm sure some world will come here to invade us by infiltrating us!" the man yelled. "I do not want that to happen! So I'll vote for Tenchi during the elections. He will get rid of them!"

"Cat Sith isn't anything like that. He's a cute create coming from Legend world and he isn't here for any bad reasons!" Kuguru yelled back.

"We should-" Cat Sith was cut when a girl yelled.

"What did I hear here?" the girl came from the air in a small silver spaceship. She climbed down and a pink alien with tentacles with a camera pointing at them.

The girl has pink hair, peach skin and green eyes behind her yellow glasses. She wore a yellow shirt with a pale blue tie and orange short shirt with a longer black shirt under it.

"Are you openly saying that you don't care about the laws?" the girl with pink hair said, pointing her mic in front of the man.

"What are you doing with that-" the man was cut.

"You are saying that you refuse to serve this buddy because he is not human. You know this is something racist!" she said pointing her mic to herself, "Are you telling us that we should disobey every law we don't like?"

"That's not what I mean," the man defensively said.

"You sure are giving the good example. Think about what people will say when I put this tape on the web. I'm sure the Buddy Police will like to see it and arrest you for breaking the law," the girl said.

"B- Lis-" the man was saying half words for a minute until he said, "Fine! Get your Tempuras and get the hell out of here!"

"You better not do this again," the girl said.

"Takochu!"

"Oh. And some for us too," the pink girl said with a victory grin.

The man served them and the five walked away on a bench.

"Thank you for helping us," Kuguru said.

"That's nothing. That guy doesn't know who they are. Right?" the pink girl asked her buddy.

"Takuchu," the pink alien said.

"Who are you? I think I've saw you at school," Baku said.

The girl winked and replied, "I am Paruko Nanana and this is Martian UFO, Takosuke. I am the media of our school and hoping to one day present to broadcast the news toward all Japan."

The three other's presented themselves.

"If you weren't there, that guy wouldn't have given any food," Baku said.

"I know. That totally suck. A lot of people are doing the same thing around town. There's someone who tried to attack Takosuke for being an 'outsider'. They tried to hurt him, so I punch his nuts and we ran away. After this, I decide to pressure jerks with the internet."

"That's nice of you," Kuguru said.

Cat Sith sighed and said, "Maybe I should return to my world. No one would like me here."

"Don't say that. You cannot let someone like him scare you. You are a cute cat-" Kuguru was cut.

"I'm not a cat. Sorry for the trouble," Cat Sith said.

"Sorry. Anyway, if no one like you, why did we help you?" Kuguru asked. Cat Sith tried to find a reply, but found nothing, "Those are just some intolerant jerks who cannot accept the change. It's the same scenario on Earth when immigrants came; especially in the United State."

"You can't expect someone to change his mind so fast, especially for someone older," Baku said now that he was calmer.

"Also, he's not totally wrong. I saw Jackknife fight once and it was scary for my parents. So much power could be scary after all," Paruko commented.

"Anyway, why did you come to our world Cat Sith?" Kuguru asked with a smile, changing the subject.

Cat Sith waited a few seconds and reply, "I heard from some monsters that living on Earth was fun. One friend sent me a few messages about how great it was to be a buddy and the delicious food," he then realised he had something to eat and took a bite. His eyes shined and replied, "This is so Meowlicious!"

"I'm glad you like the food," Baku said.

"After this. I decided to come here to find a buddy, but this my real appearance. I don't seem strong and no one wants a buddy like me. They found me cute, but won't go more than that," he then sighed.

Kuguru smiled and said, "They are wrong not to have you as their buddy. You are cute, but also brave to come here and face that man without letting him scare you."

"That's right," Paruko agreed.

Cat Sith smiled and replied, "Thank you," he looked at Kuguru and asked with his eyes shining, "You are so kind. More than anyone I've seen before. Maybe I should-" he took a deep breath and asked, "Can I be your buddy? I won't let you down! I promise!"

Kuguru eyes turned into hearts and replied, "Of course I'll accept!"

"Yeah!" Cat Sith joyfully yelled.

"But you already have one buddy, even if he's not here," Baku reminded her.

Kuguru replied, "Nothing forbids us to have only one buddy."

"That's true, but no one expected anyone to have more than one buddy," Baku replied, "Although, Ironchain isn't back yet. So you have just one buddy now."

Kuguru smiled and replied, "Welcome aboard."

Cat Sith took out his spellcard deck and gave it to her, "I'm so glad I've met you. I can't believe it became true the moment I thought of giving up!"

"Because I'm not like the others," And you are so cute. Kuguru thought.

Baku nodded when he remembered something, "Wait. Who's this... Tenchi?"

"You don't know. He's the man who will present himself to be the new Prime Minister of Japan. He wants to ban the buddies from our world and kill any of them who try to come here. Just thinking of him is so enraging. The elections are coming and I'm afraid of what would happen if he wins and his party gains the majority," Paruko commented fearfully.

The other's said nothing and thought about it. They said nothing and finished eating.


"Gao?" someone asked the boy.

Drum heard him and jumped outside the chamber by the window. Gao watched him, That's going overboard. He thought. Gao opened the door to his chamber and saw Axia near him. "What is it?" Gao asked.

"There's something important I need to give. I should have given you for a while, but I hesitated," Axia said, looking down.

"What is it? Is it about the spellcard you are holding in your hand?" Gao asked.

Axia nodded and replied, "It's not a spellcard thought. It's called... An Impact card."

"Impact card?" Gao asked.

"Yes. It is an extremely powerful card. It's an ultimate spellcard that can cause lots of destruction. I didn't give it back because its power is immense. It's extremely dangerous because it's use massive energy. Even a monster like me would be drained out, but for humans...It can kill you... Gao. Promise me to never use it," he said seriously.

Gao nodded and replied, "I won't."

"Good. Because it's really going to kill you. Never use it... Unless it is the last thing you'll do," Axia warned.

"I promise."

Axia smiled and gave the card, "Good. I'll make sure to tell you again every day. Also, tell Drum that he can't escape me," before winking at the window and walked outside the chamber.
