"Wait, so you mean she really can't remember anything?"

"Nope. Not a thing. At least, that's what Hart told me."

"That's not good!"

"You think?"

Kat listened as her friends bickered on about her current condition. She'd picked up on names pretty quickly. Yuma was now arguing with Tori about what to do about all this, while Cathy was having a meltdown. Her only friend that had been as much as a cat freak as her (Only not shown it quite like that) had lost all her memories of the times they did stuff together that involved cats.

"I think we should take her to a doctor!" Tori argued. Yuma shook his head in disapproval.

"No way! She'd be better off waiting for her memories to come back on their own! Besides, what's a doctor gonna do that she can't do herself?" Yuma yelled, crossing his arms.

"A doctor could provide a better explanation on how this even happened and possibly prescribe a medication that may help her gain her memories back sooner and or easier!"

"One, Kat is perfectly capable of telling us what happened herself, and two, medicine doesn't fix every little problem!"

"Uh, guys?" Kat tried to speak up. She was really quiet, however, so there was no way anyone could've heard her. Tori and Yuma continued to argue as she sat there, annoyed by their actions. The brown and blue-haired girl stood up and put her hands in the air in anger. "Guys!"

This seemed to get their attention for a moment, but nothing more. Now Caswell and Bronk were involved there, trying to pry the now slapping and scratching pair apart. Kat had had enough. She stood on the table and got as loud as she could.

"GUYS!"

Yuma, Tori, Cathy, Bronk, Caswell, and Flip whipped around to see Kat. She crossed her arms and jumped from the table, closing her eyes and shaking her head shamefully. When she reopened them, she pushed her glasses up a little bit and put her hands to her hips. "Honestly you guys. Is this how you treat every problem you have? With slapping and biting and stuff? Not the Hump Day spirit I'd been hoping for," she said, both mockery and shame in her voice. The group of six hung their heads low and shook them, but were stunned she'd picked up on Hump Day that quickly.

"Sorry Kat. Shoulda known that scolding gene of yours was still in you," Yuma muttered out. Kat shook her head, but took it as an apology anyway. She turned towards a sudden sound. Cathy was the first to notice her strange behavior.

"Kat? What's wrong?" Cathy ran up and put a hand on Kat's shoulder.

Kat pointed. "There. I heard something, like a growl."

"Oh! Maybe there's a duel going on!" Cathy jumped in joy and grabbed Kat by the wrist, then began to drag her away. Yuma let out a protestive "Hey!" but followed regardless with the others right behind him.

Cathy had been right. A duel was going down in the school yard. It was taking place on the roof. Kat went wide-eyed as her Gazer Tattoo automatically slid across her left eye, turning it blue. At first, she couldn't be sure who was dueling. But when she figured it out, she could not believe who it was. Neither could the others, in fact.

Kite stood on the roof, his Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon swishing its massive tail in front of him. Kat thought she'd never seen a more beautiful creature, mainly because she couldn't remember, and stared in awe at the massive monster. For a moment they had made eye contact. Yuma, out of breath but finally caught up with the two girls, went wide-eyed as well.

"Wow...such a beautiful creature," Kat whispered.

Flip laughed. "Maybe scary beautiful is the proper term," he said. Kat just shook her head, obviously disagreeing.

"No, beautiful is definitely the proper term. It's so amazing. Sparkly and strong...I wish I could duel."

Yuma shot up in shock at this. "Kat, you can duel! You're really good at it!"

Kat turned back to Yuma with a confused look. "Am I? I don't recall Yuma." -She turned back to the dragon now.-"Am I really a good duelist? Doesn't seem to me like it would fit my personality..."

"That right there is the kind of nonsense I've missed from you." Caswell came up and patted Kat's back. She smiled, but did not make eye contact with him. "You are a fantastic duelist! Or, were, rather now that you've lost your memories."

The brown and blue-haired girl stayed motionless as she watched Galaxy Eyes go into motion for the first time. She turned and began to wonder what the opponent would do. That's when she realized she didn't even know who the opponent was. Almost as if on cue, all seven of them turned and gasped at who they saw. And all at once, they yelled out his name in confusion.

"SHARK?!"

"Oh my," Cathy whispered. Kat turned and stared around at her friends expressions. To her, this was just an ordinary Duel. But to them, this could be life or death for Shark. They knew Kite was a Number Hunter, they knew how dangerous he was. Kat didn't remember.

"Oh my what? What's the big deal?"

"The big deal Kat," Bronk began. "is that Kite is a Number Hunter! This could end in Shark's death!"

"How could a duel possibly end in the death of another?" Kat asked, making eye contact with nothing in particular.

"Well, being a Number Hunter, he has the ability to steal the soul and Number Card of his defeated opponents!" Tori said, swaying back and forth. "By doing that he can kill people!"

Now Kat was confused. She remembered earlier today they'd mentioned something about her being a Number Hunter as well. Did that mean she also had the capability of stealing souls?

"I don't understand. You all fear Kite because of what he can do, and yet you're all standing right next to me. Don't I have the same capability?"

Everyone froze for a second. Finally, Cathy spoke.

"Kat, you do have the same ability, but you A: Would never hurt us and B: Can't remember how to use it. We have no reason to be afraid of you." Cathy and Kat made direct eye contact now. The brown and blue-haired girl nodded and shut her eyes momentarily before returning her attention to the roof. Looks like Kite had won this round. The others in the background gasped in shock. Kat could hear their footsteps start to thunder past her. She held her arms up.

"Wait."

Everyone stopped. At first, they were confused. But when they glanced up at Kite, they understood.

The two Number Hunters were smirking at one another, silently speaking to one another. Kat watched as Kite took off with Orbital. She saw Shark get up and, rather than go walk down the stairs, jump off the roof. No one made any sudden movements as he came walking toward them.

"Didn't know I had an audience during that." Shark said, taking his Duel Gazer off. "Otherwise I wouldn't have gone so easy on your boyfriend."

Kat jolted up in confusion. Quietly, she asked, "Boyfriend?"

The others just sighed. Yesterday was a regular Tuesday. Well, now it was obvious that would never happen again, starting today.
