"Anna, come here sweetie! That's a good girl! Awwwww, you're just the most adorable thing ever! I love you so much!" A female voice said.

"There's this man that I love so much. He's my one true Prince!" The same voice said.

"Anna, always remember, love is the most powerful force in the world. Once you find love, you'll grow strong!" The female voice said.

"Ugh, where am I?" Anna said as she found herself in a bed.

"Anna, you're awake! I'm so glad that you're alright! We were so worried!" Kotori said as she quickly hugged Anna in relief.

"Don't worry Anna. You passed out on our way back here and we decided to lay you down in Cathy's bed. How are your injuries? Are you ok?" Yuma said in a worried tone.

"Who do you think I am? I'm Anna Kozuki! I'll have you know that I'm the toughest girl around. So small injuries like these are no problem at all!" Anna said in a reassuring tone.

"Haha, glad to see that you're as energetic as ever! I bet you could high five the sky all day long!" Yuma said as he was happy to know that his red haired girlfriend was alright.

"Where's that cat? Did she go to drink some milk or something?" Anna said in a half joking tone.

"Haha, she's sleeping next to you." Yuma said as he pointed towards Cathy sleeping on the opposite end of the bed from where Anna was laying.

"Woah, now that I get a good look at it, this bed is huge. No wonder I didn't notice that cat there." Anna said as she was surprised at what she saw.

"Cathy isn't that physically active so she's exhausted. Let's let her sleep for as long as she needs to. " Kotori said as she was happy that things seemed to turn out ok in the end.

"By the way, did i say anything weird while i was sleeping?" Anna asked in a worried tone.

"Nope. You were out like a light." Yuma said to Anna.

"Thank goodness. I'm glad I didn't say anything stupid while I was asleep in front of Yuma and Kotori. I've been having that dream so much lately." Anna thought to herself.

"Love. Why do I hear this word over and over again in my dreams? That voice that keeps saying it, It sounds like a woman but I don't recognize the voice. Even though I've heard it so many times, I can never tell who the person is. Ever since I met Yuma, I've been hearing it more and more often, and now that I'm dating him, I'm even hearing it while I'm awake. Why? Am I crazy? I've never told mom and dad because I don't want them to think that I'm insane. Maybe it's a guardian angel trying to speak with me? But then why hasn't she shown herself to me yet? Why am I even pondering over this anyway? It's not like it will solve anything. I just need to try my best to ignore it. But at the same time, I can't deny that when I hear that voice in my dreams, I do wake up feeling happy. No, it's more a mix of happiness and sorrow. Why? Why is that? Damn it, I need to know! Whoever you are, show yourself already dammit!" Anna thought to herself as she started to unknowingly show a look of irritation on her face.

"Anna, are you sure there's nothing wrong? You don't look so good." Yuma said as he noticed the look on his girlfriends face.

"Y-yeah. I'm doing alright." Anna reassured.

"Alright, if you say so. But if there ever is something on your mind, make sure you tell us alright?

"T-Thanks Yuma. I appreciate that." Anna said to her boyfriend.

"I could never embarrass myself by telling Yuma and the others about that dream. No way in hell am I doing that." Anna thought to herself.

"I do want to take a bath though. I'm still covered in dirt and probably have dried blood on my face. Where's the bath in this huge place?" Anna said as she realized just how dirty she currently was.

"I don't know. Cathy never told us where it was." Kotori said to Anna.

"Ugh….. You guys really know how to wake a girl up." Cathy said as she woke up from her sleep.

"Sorry about that Cathy. Anna woke up so we were worried if she was ok." Yuma said to his cat-like girlfriend.

"It's no problem. I heard you guys mention a bath. I actually could use one myself. I'll go ahead and show you guys where it is, and don't worry, it's big enough for us all." Cathy said as she also noticed just how dirty she currently was.

"Well if you two are going then I might as well to. Is that ok with you Cathy, Anna?" Kotori said as she thought that she might as well join them if they were already going in together.

"I did say that it was big enough for us all so of course you can Kotori. What about you Yuma? You gonna join us?" Cathy said in a teasing tone. Yuma gave no response except for blushing.

"Cathy, stop being perverted! Sheesh, why are you suddenly like this? You weren't like this before." Kotori said in annoyance.

"What can I say? Hormones I guess~. I am a cat and cats so go into heat sometimes you know. Plus since I'm now officially dating Yuma, what's wrong with being a little playful now and again. Also, his reactions are just adorable!" Cathy said in defense.

"Enough of this crap! Show us where the bath is already you damn cat!" Anna said in an irritated tone.

"Yeah, yeah, don't get your panties in a wad. It's not going anywhere. By the way, this is my house so you should probably address me in a polite manner. How about cat-sama~." Cathy said in a playful tone towards Anna.

"Screw that you damn cat!" Anna said in a now more irritated tone.

"Come on you two, let's go already." Kotori said as she really didn't understand why her two fellow girlfriends were always fighting whenever they talk to each other. Cathy got out of bed and showed the other 2 girls to the bath while Yuma decided to wait in the kitchen. The bathroom was huge. It was almost the size of Cathy's bedroom, with the tub being even bigger than her huge mattress. The 3 girls took off their clothes and went for the soap bottle.

"Wow, this is the first time i've ever seen you without those clips in your hair Cathy. You look really pretty like this." Kotori said as she was surprised at how different her friend looked without the cat looking ears in her hair.

"I bet she only did that so she can be in the water without feeling like she's going to freak out and jump everywhere like all other cats do." Anna said in a sarcastic tone.

"Thank you Kotori. It makes me happy that you think that. As for you Anna, I can take baths just fine thank you very much. I do keep them on during swimming class at school after all. The only time I take them out is when I take a bath so I can wash my hair properly, and when I go to sleep. Although in the latter case, sometimes I forget to take them out.

"Hey, um….. as thanks for saving me before….. I guess I can wash your guy's backs." Anna said in an embarrassed tone.

"I was actually thinking the same thing. In fact, how about we wash each other's backs? I'll wash yours, you wash Kotori's, and then you can wash mine afterwards." Cathy suggested to her female friends.

"That's fine. I'm glad that you two are agreeing on something for once." Kotori said in a relieved tone. The 3 girls then sat in front of each other with Cathy being in the back, Anna in the middle, and Kotori in the front.

"It really feels nice to have someone wash your back for you. Thank you Anna." Kotori said to her red haired friend.

"It's no problem. It's the least I can do. The cat is doing a decent job too." Anna said to Kotori.

"Hehe~ Gotcha!" Cathy said as she groped Anna from behind.

"W-what the hell are you doing cat bitch?!" Anna said incredibly annoyed as she turned around and slapped Cathy in the face, leaving a hand sized red mark where the slap hit.

"Ouch! That really hurt you know." Cathy said as she placed one of her hands on the spot where she was slapped.

"Damn right it did! You deserved it for that! Stop being in heat all the time you cat bitch!" Anna said to Cathy.

"Anna, if you want to get a guy to take you more seriously as a partner then you have to make use of these. As much as I hate to admit it, you are really damn sexy. If I were you I would use your weapons to your advantage. Remember, there's 3 of us so we need to each have something different for Yuma to like. Otherwise he might get bored. Kotori has her innocent cute charm, I have my silver cat-like vibe, and you have your sexy body." Cathy said with a completely serious look on her face.

"N-no way would Yuma ever get bored of me! You need to mind your own business you damn cat!" Anna said in response to Cathy.

"Cathy….. the real reason that you're saying all that, it's because you're worried about Anna, isn't it? You don't want to take the chance that our relationship might fall apart." Kotori said as she could read through Cathy's true intentions like an open book.

"... yeah, your right. The truth is that, this relationship means a lot to me. I love Yuma, but I don't want any of us to fail in staying with Yuma. That's why I thought I would give that suggestion." Cathy said in a worried tone.

"I-i see. So you were worried about me. Well don't worry about me. I wouldn't have fallen for a guy that would simply use me for my body and then throw me away. I dealt with that kind of stuff enough at my old schoo- shit!" Anna said as she cut herself off after realizing what she was about to say.

"Anna, what are you talking about? Did something happen at your old middle school?" Kotori said in a concerned tone.

"Ugh, fine. I might as well tell you guys what i'm talking about." Anna said as she got ready to explain herself.
