"Oh come on, aren't you happy to finally face off with me, Lunar Kyuubi?" the boy asked. "Because my blood is boiling..!"

"No, I'm not. What I'm more concerned of now is sleep," Hoshi replied irritably, glaring at the boy in green before turning away. "Now let me go home and sleep already, person I never met before!"

Futo just chuckled and swung his giant tail at her before giving her a twisted looking grin. The girl turned around quickly and stumbled backwards out of surprise before she leapt back to keep her balance in check with the help of her nine fluffy tails.

"No," he replied before charging in to attack again.

"Oh come on already!" the girl exclaimed as she tried to escape, shooting a few beams of light to create a diversion.

Of course the boy ended ignoring the projectiles and trailed her from behind which annoyed her to the core of her mind. His attacks haven't slowed down at all as he continued to chase her down and jab his giant sharp tail towards her, forcing her to dodge and block all his blows he handed to her with her weapon and tails.

"Seriously, I don't even know you!" Hoshi exclaimed angrily. "Why are you even after me?!"

"Well, call me Scorpius Tail and I'm obviously here to test your strength. Now you know me; I want a fight from you, so you better make this enjoyable or decent!" he said, as he tried to stab the girl with his stinger attached to the giant green tail of his again.

'I just realized that he was that weirdo from the afternoon,' Vul suddenly pointed out nonchalantly.

"No really?" Hoshi muttered as she dodged the attack by a hair. "Holy crap man! Leave me alone already!"

"Don't want to," he replied as he swung his heavy tail over at her. The girl reacted and used her own tails to block the attack which caused her to fly back a few from impact with the scorpion tail before she heard him say 'Stinger Drive'. Kyuubi immediately warped away and escaped before she was hit by the tail again, quickly looking for a way to get back home without being followed. Futo, or Scorpius much to the girl's knowledge, didn't give up and continued to track her down as quickly and precisely as possible. Meeting up with her again on the wave road, the boy used a canon battle card and shot at her, nearly getting a direct hit on her but only skimming across her ears. A wave of flames suddenly washed over him after Kyuubi turned around to swing her blade behind her and took off.

"Damn, she's trying to slow us down!" he grumbled as he cleared some of the flames off himself.

'Well then, chase after her!' his wizard said, earning a low growl from the operator.

"You don't have to tell me what to do, Scorpius."

Fazing through buildings to cut down her path and avoid being slowed down by the turns she needed to take, the girl took small glances around her surroundings to make sure she lost Scorpius, but of course, it wasn't going to last very long much to her dismay. He was nearby and she knew it.

"Tag, you're it!" his voice suddenly rang, appearing behind her and swinging his bulkier right arm at her.

Kyuubi's tails immediately reacted through instincts and blocked the attack for her so her body didn't take a hit as her eyes widen from the surprise attack, her white tails covering whatever was in front the two and hiding the girl's next move. The lance she held was suddenly thrust between a small hidden opening she created with her tails and nearly pierced through the boy's blue futuristic-looking glasses, leaving scratch marks and little cracks on the said glasses.

"When I tell you to leave me alone, then that means leave me alone!" the girl exclaimed, pulling back and constantly jabbing and swinging her lance around her body to both block and attack Scorpius Tail.

Her movements began to grow more fluid and quicker as each second in a minute passed between the two, pushing Scorpius backwards forcefully. Scorpius was able to block most of the thrusts and swings with his tail and arm, but as her speed picked up, the blades of her lance started to touch, even leave heavy looking marks and cuts on his armor. He slowly began to notice the marks appearing quickly and decided that it was time for him to start fighting back instead of staying in defense mode.

"Who knew you could suddenly pick up speed as a fight goes on?" he commented, going offensive and shooting his tail over at the girl's direction.

"And who knew you you could be so annoying?" Kyuubi growled as she blocked and dodge the attacks before sending her barrage of stabs back at him.

Her lance continued to graze over his tail and arm to stop his movements as he continued to come at her, but she was being pushed back by the boy as she blocked and attacked until she reached the edge of the wave road they stood on.

"I don't know why you're after me, but I would like to ask you to leave me alone," said the girl, her tails immediately latching onto Futo's body and tail tightly.

Hoshi suddenly out of nowhere tapped the silver blade of her lance where Vul resided onto the wave road lightly, a ring high enough to bother anyone's ears sounding out around their surroundings. The boy was now cringing as he tried to pull his secured arms up to his ears to block out the uncomfortable sounding noise, but the tails wrapped around him was refraining him from doing so.

"Obnoxious sounding noise...!" he grumbled, tugging and swinging around to get free.

The girl was struggling to hold him back from breaking free and having him attack her as he continued to swing around. Just as he was about to warp away, Kyuubi tossed the boy with all her effort mostly put in of her body and, of course, tails which managed to disrupt his warp. The boy was then swung over off the edge of the wave road with Lunar Kyuubi summoning a few fireballs after with him before she leapt away and warped off to another area. Scorpius Tail blocked the incoming projectiles and cleared off any stray flames that caught onto him only to see that the girl escaped again.

"God damn it..." he said, disappearing from the area before he made impact with the ground.

Hoshi, on the other hand, was finally back in her room, heaving out a relieved sigh as she fell backwards onto her bed.

"What time is it...?" she muttered tiredly.

"It's... nineteen minutes before midnight," Vul said before her operator slept.

It was unknown to Hoshi that her friend in the other room was missing at the moment; Misora was still not back yet. The girl was clearly not thinking about anything as she fell into slumber. She could care less about anything due to her fatigue. Vul was still awake, however, thinking about the EM human that continued to track them down like a bug that takes forever to kill. Everything about the boy and his HM alien partner was unknown to Vul and Hoshi, leaving her a little bothered with the fact that he clearly knew things about her operator.

'Just when did he find out about us?' she grumbled. 'What a creep.. Just when I thought all HMians were wiped out like the AMians.. Oh well, not like I can help it.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day certainly came fast and both girls in the Fukushima residence were completely knocked out. Hoshi suddenly bolted up from her bed and ran out the door to check whether Misora was up yet, but much to her surprise, the idol was actually still asleep. It was a strange occurrence since Misora was always up early and swinging her bedroom door open for breakfast.

"Strange..." the words suddenly slipped out of her mouth as she eyed the door to her friend's room. "Maybe it was her last night?"

An image of Harp Note and Misora appeared as the girl thought about it a little longer, comparing everything about between the two and confirming her theories once again.

"I'll have to keep an eye out on her also..." she stated as she walked out to the kitchen.

Time continued to pass by as the girl finished cooking breakfast for the her and her partner to feast on and Misora when she wakes up. Hoshi soon went back straight to bed again after eating her share, clearly sleep deprived at the moment, but the thing was that she couldn't sleep. She was still irritated with the boy that attacked her from last night.

"Hey, Vul? Do you think we'll be able to avoid Mr. Stalker starting today?" she groaned, looking over to her transer. "He was capable of finding me yesterday both in the afternoon and at night, normally and EM wave changed. I feel like he'll suddenly track me down again."

"Well, if you keep thinking that way, then maybe," the fox alien said. "Besides, I bet he's going after everyone."

The door to the room Misora rested in suddenly clicked open causing Vulpecula to forcefully close the transfer and remain quiet. Footsteps then came closer to Hoshi's room, the door opening quietly to reveal the tired looking idol.

"... Morning," Hoshi greeted, blinking at her friend.

"You're up early... Aren't you always oversleeping?" Misora asked the girl on the bed.

Hoshi sat up and messed up her hair further, blinking a few times to clear out the linger sleep in her eyes.

"I don't know, am I always?" she asked with a chuckle. "Breakfast is in the fridge. You should go eat."

Misora blinked before she flashed a smile and nodded silently.

"Right, thanks," she replied softly before heading back out to get her share of breakfast.
