"That stupid bitch!" 

Yes, that's Katsuki's own way of starting the chapter. What did Yuuki do? She did not return. It's time for dinner and while he and Eijirou were having a feast, Yuuki still have not come back. 

"I didn't even do anything and that ungrateful bitch is still out there throwing a fucking tantrum! She better come back before I fucking kill her!" 

"Wait, do you want her to come back dead or alive?!" Eijirou doesn't understand Katsuki at times; he wanted Yuuki to come back but at the time same he wanted to kill Yuuki...how does this and that work?! He sighed and he decided to down another glass of sake. "You act like you don't care, but you do care about her, huh?" 

"HUH?! I am taking one for the whole fucking team by putting up with that stupid bitch! If she bothers another person, they'd want to throw themselves into the sea just to avoid her! All the men around the world should be thankful I am putting up with that idiot for them!" 

"Still, I am worried about Yuuki. What if she meets someone terrible?" 

"Hmph! She can crawl back all on her own for all I care!" 

Eijirou frowned, "I'm full. I'm going to go out and look for Yuuki." 

"I am not full." 

"You can finish and then catch up with me when you are ready." Eijirou was worried about Yuuki and he wanted her back as soon as possible. 

He went out into the city and he looked for Yuuki. Where could she be? 

Eijirou searched and searched, but still he couldn't find Yuuki. However, he DID find someone who wanted to fight him. The man jumped down from a building trying to land a devastating punch down on Eijriou's head but Eijirou dodged at the last minute. The punch caused a small earthquake and created a small crater into the ground! 

"Who are you?!" 

The young man with quite long, messy gray hair, black eyes which were tilted dramatically inwards, each lined with a very thick, jagged, tan-colored substance, which were presumably his eyelashes. He doesn't appear to have any notable eyebrows, and, like Eijirou, he has rows of sharp, pointed fangs as teeth. He wore a dark green jumpsuit, cut off just below his chest, with some small, silver-rimmed holes in the lower section of his baggy pants and black boots with metal soles, heels and front plating. He had steel straps over his shoulders and under his arms, made up of multiple pieces, which connect at a red oval in the center of his chest, with two thinner bands around his biceps and a small plate on either side of his waist. He's also wearing a metal jaw-guard around his face.

"I am the Phantom Thief's ally! My name is Tetsutetsu, and you're going down, you thief!" 

"HUH?!" Wait, the guy said he's the ally of a thief...and he just called Eijirou a thief! How the hell does that work?! "Wait, you got it wrong! I am not a thief-" 

"Men don't need words! When a man talks, they talk with their fists!" 

Eijirou liked the sound of that and he decided to sort out Tetsutetsu before he got to Yuuki, "How manly! I like the sound of that!" And so a street brawl started between the two! 

When Eijirou landed a punch to Tetsutetsu, it felt like Eijirou had punched something cold and hard...steel?! 

"Bwahahaha! My Magic allows body to turn into steel! Take this!" When Tetsutetsu punched Eijirou in the face, Eijirou felt like he was hit with a cannon ball of some sort.

Eijirou landed on the ground and he spat out a little bit of blood. 

"Huh, that would have usually knocked a tooth out-" Tetsutetsu was punched back! "Gwah...?!" When he landed on the floor, he spat out a little bit of blood, "You...wha...that freaking hurts!" 

"My Magic allows me to have the properties of a dragon. And dragons have very hard scales!" 

"You hardened yourself?! That's awesome!" 

"Thanks!" 

Even though there's some sort of mutual respect going on there, the two of them still decided to punch each other. 

"Stupid Eijirou looking for that equally stupid girl instead of finishing the goddamn food with me!" He doesn't realize it but he's sounding like a jealous girl right now, "It's all that stupid ass Yuuki's fault!" 

Suddenly, the lights in the inn's restaurant came to a stop, plunging everyone into darkness. However, the spotlight shone onto the 2nd floor. 

"Haha! Behold! I, Neito, the Phantom Thief, has arrived to steal what you have stolen!" The blonde, tall, young man was wearing a black, double-breasted tuxedo with two long tails reaching almost down to his ankles. Three clocks hang on one of two belts around his waist, and his shirt collar upturned, a blue and black dotted tie done up around his neck. Both his tailcoat and his pants were plain black, with the exception of the cuffs of his sleeves and the inner-facing sides of his tails, and his shoes are white with a simple design. He really does look like some kind of thief who only strike at night. 

Everyone stared at Neito but only one person ignored him...that person was Katsuki. Katsuki doesn't give a shit about some thief he never heard of so he continued to eat and curse Eijirou and Yuuki. It was clear Neito wanted his attention though. 

"Hey you! You! I'm talking to you!" Neito stepped on his long cape and he fell flat to the level where everyone was eating. He didn't seem like he was hurt and he marched over to Katsuki, "I'm talking to you!" 

"I know, and I don't care because I am fucking eating. Go and bother someone who is stupid enough to pay attention to you-" But Neito flipped the table over,ultimately stopping Katsuki from eating. You'd imagine Katsuki would sock his face in but he got out of his chair and paid for his meal...and then he went and punched Neito in the face. Within the punch, Neito touched Katsuki's arm before the force of the punch sent him flying out of the inn. 

Neito flew out of the inn and ended up on the street. Katsuki followed after him and he looked very cross. 

"You want a fucking fight? You fucking got it!" He blast his way to Neito and was about to set an explosion on him but then Neito shoved his hand to Katsuki's face and he let out an explosion. Katsuki was barely able to dodge it with a back flip. He created some distance between them. 'Explosion?! The same kind of Magic as me?!' 

"Ooh, how handy, you have a very powerful Magic." Neito said to him. 

"Huh?!" That explosion Magic was Katsuki's own Magic?! How did it get over there? Did he steal it? No, Katsuki shouldn't be able to use it. Unless- "Copy. Your Magic allows you to copy a Magic User's Magic ability." 

"Bingo~. Now, how about giving up what you have stolen." 

"Hmph! And what exactly did we steal?" 

"That red ring. We are going to steal the ring you have stolen. The one with the red jewel." 

Jokes on the Phantom Thief, the ring was destroyed by Katsuki...it seemed like he doesn't know that yet. Katsuki smirked; he had no intentions of telling this guy of the ring's outcome. "And what are you gonna do about it?" 

"Oh, nothing. defeat you and your comrades, and let our client deal with you." 

"Haha...hahahaha!" Katsuki burst out laughing because Neito was serious and not joking at all. 

"I don't know why you're laughing, my comrades are all strong people." Neito warned Katsuki.

"I don't know why I can't laugh. You seriously think my comrades are weak without me? Let me tell you one thing right now. My comrades are strong and they can deal with anything on their own." 

...

Yuuki found herself waking up in a dark room. She was dangling in the middle of the room. Her wrists were chained to the ceiling. How did she let herself end up here? 

"How embarrassing. If Master finds out I got kidnapped, he's going to kick my ass..." She looked around the room, she couldn't see a single thing. All she could see was total darkness. "Not even a window." This meant not even the light from the moon will help illuminate the room. She closed her eyes and she focused aura to her eyes. She could now see she's in a room that's abandoned ages ago. Judging by the dusty, broken, but posh looking furniture, she's in a manor that's abandoned for a long time now. She then focused her aura to her wrists and she broke free from the chains! 

Yuuki needed to calm down and re-think what happened. All she did was talk to that stranger...next thing she knew, she blanked out completely. 

"Magic." That's the only thing she could come up with. It had to be Magic! "I was okay before I respond so it means replying to that guy caused me to lose control of everything and blanked out. She decided to leave the room, but the moment she was about to touch the handle, the handle moved and the door opened. Yuuki's now face to face with the man she bumped into during the day. Something on his ear flashed red. It looked like the same jewel she and Katsuki were looking at when they were trying to research more about the ring with the red jewel! 

"How did you get out of your binding?" Hitoshi was shocked to see she was out of her binding! 

Yuuki was about to say something but she refused to respond! She shut the door on him and she channeled her aura onto the door, stopping Hitoshi from opening the door! 

However, a door wasn't going to stop him. Hitoshi just kicked the wall in and made a hole. The manor was falling apart anyway so he might as well make it fall apart some more. 

"Kya!"

Hitoshi walked in and he brushed some of the dust off him, "I knew it, you're a Magic User too. There is a time limit on how long you can stay in a brainwashed state." 

'I knew it! All I have to do is NOT respond to him!' She breathed in and she roared, her roar was able to send Hitoshi flying! Hitoshi broke the broken and dusty banister with his back and he landed down one level but he did do a back flip to land on his feet. 

Yuuki needed to get out! She jumped down and she tried to get to the door. However, she was caught in what felt like a cloth. She looked over her shoulder to see Hitoshi had caught her with this capture weapon. The more she pulled, the more he pulled too so neither of them were willing to lose this tug of war. 

"If you won't let me go..." She ran towards him! "I'll come to you!" She came at him and she did a jump so she could perform a heel drop kick! 

Hitoshi quickly move out of the way! Yuuki's heel drop shattered the floor and now they're at the basement! 'She focused aura onto her heel! If that heel drop kick landed on me, she would have killed me! I need to get her respond to me real quick!' He couldn't fight an enemy where the light couldn't reach. He needed to get away from her and rethink his strategy. He used his capture weapon and he got himself out of the basement with ease. 

"Hey!" Yuuki was still stuck in the basement. Luckily for her, she could focus her aura to her eyes and allow her to see in the darkness. "You're not getting away!" Focusing her aura to her legs, she jumped out of the basement so she could kick the door open. She's now outside in the thick of the forest. She looked at the manor she was just in, it's a really broken down place. "Where did that guy go?" 

"Yuuki!" 

She could hear it. She heard Katsuki's voice in the forest! 'Master!' She was happy to know Katsuki was searching for her and ended up here! She'd like to go back to the inn and pig out! She's starving! 

"Yuuki, where are you?" 

She focused her aura to the ears on her head, she's running on all fours as she ran to the direction of the voice. When she got out of the trail of never-ending trees, she saw Katsuki. 

"Yuuki, I'm sorry about before." 

She didn't say anything and she charged towards Katsuki and she leaped at him, elbowing him in the stomach! 

"Gah!" 

He rolled to the ground and he landed with his back against a rock. "How did you know...?" This Katsuki wasn't the Katsuki she knew. It was Hitoshi. The red jewel of his earring broke and the appearance of Katsuki was replaced with Hitoshi. "How did you know I wasn't your friend?" 

Yuuki did not answer him because she knew the secret to his Magic. 

Hitoshi grinned, "You're not as stupid as I thought. My Magic allows me to brainwash people when they respond to me. This Magical Mask here is used to change my voice to any voice I have heard." 

Yuuki still did not answer. 

"You've broken some of my ribs, it'd be reckless of me to fight. I surrender, I won't brainwash you. Kuh...how humiliating." Hitoshi was annoyed that he lost, but he knew it was better to surrender than to fight a losing battle. "How did you know I wasn't your friend?" 

"Easy! Master will never apologize even if he is in the wrong!" 

Hitoshi ended up laughing. That was it? How hilarious! "This is my loss." He took something out of his bag and he ate it. "I will be fine. You can go back to your Master. I won't be able to move for an hour."

"What was that?" 

"It's called a recovery pill. It heals physical injuries. You need to be still for an hour though." 

"Oh. Will you be okay on your own?" 

Hitoshi smiled a little, "Strange of you to care about someone trying to kidnap you, isn't it?" 

"Meh, you surrendered. That evens it out. Hey, lend me your capture weapon." 

"Sure. But what do you want to do with it?" 

It was a battle of endurance between Eijirou and Tetsutetsu! Each of them refused to back down on their punches! It hurts, it really hurts...but losing hurts even more! 

With a mighty war cry, Eijirou's punching arm transformed into that of a dragon's claw. He clenched his fist, and Eijirou landed a powerful punch to Tetsutetsu's gut! "Dragon Magic: Dragon Gauntlet!" It's a punch so powerful that it sent his opponent right out of Suzu city! "Yeah!!!" Eijirou won this round, but it was such a tiring battle! A battle of endurance...! He was so close to losing after needing to harden himself every time when Tetsutetsu landed a hit on him! "I need more training..."

Back with Katsuki, he was still fighting Neito. Neito looked more of a wreck than Katsuki though. 

'Impossible! Even though I've copied his Magic, he is fighting just fine!' Neito noticed Katsuki was not even breaking a sweat! He copied a powerful Magic so he thought he'd be able to win with ease. He created a lot of explosions and such but Katsuki was not hurt at all. 'I'm just depleting my own stamina! How is he not breaking a sweat?!' 

Neito came at Katsuki again and he tried to use the explosive Magic again but only to realize it's already been 10 minutes. 'Crap! I need to touch him again!' 

Katsuki did not allow Neito to touch him! Every time when Neito thought he could reach, Katsuki will blow him away with an explosion! 

"Tch!" 

"Your Magic only works if you can touch your opponent. All I have to do is keep you away from me and I can win!" 

Neito had tricks up his sleeves though. He used the same capture weapon as Hitoshi and he swung himself into the air and away from the explosive impact. He's now in the air! "But that means you won't be able to get me!" 

Katsuki just smirked, "Bring the enemy to me, you stupid wolf! 

"Who are you talking to-" Neito gasped and he turned himself around in the air. In front of the full of the moon, Yuuki leaped towards Neito and she stepped onto his face and forced him to land onto the ground in front of Katsuki! 

"Master, you've called?" While carrying Hitoshi on her back, she was able to land a finishing hit on Neito! 

Katsuki smirked and he looked to the side to see Eijirou coming back. Katsuki looked down at Neito, "This is why I can trust them away from me."
