At What Cost?
Summary: Nothing is free, nothing. Having been the possessor of a wish granting jewel she knew this. So as this thing stared up at her, looking so cute and innocent, offering to grant her any wish...she could only think one thing. At what cost?
"E-excuse me?" She could only stare as the white thing looked up at her pinkish red eyes staring at her. She had been minding her own business, walking home when out of nowhere this thing appeared.
Now, she was used to demons, ghosts, and magic oh my. But this thing...felt off...it looked cute and adorable but underneath the surface she could feel something. She didn't know what it was...
"I can grant you any wish your heart desires...if you just become a magical girl." The voice was adorable and cute..male...maybe...
"A-a what?" A magical girl?! Like Sailor Moon and Card captor Sakura?! Okay, who was playing a prank on her?
She glanced around looking for anyone, her brother, her friends, anyone that would try to pull one over on her. She was alone, standing in the street with this thing...
'I'm not a thing. I am Kyubey' She jumped hearing and feeling the voice in her head. With narrowed eyes she threw up a barrier, she hated when things got inside her...it never ended well for her.
Kyubey tilted its head, he knew the female had great potential to be a magical girl and this only perked his interests more, yes she was older than most magical girls but the power rolling off her had great potential.
"I can grant you your hearts desire..." His voice was smooth as honey yet she was still on guard, just what did being a magical girl entail? Fighting evil beings? Like in the animes and manga? Well if so, she would pass. She had been there done that and barely lived to tell the tale...
Okay so no one knew her tale, if she told it she would be thrown into an insane asylum, but still. She would rather not relive that ever again. Plus she didn't have any wishes she wanted to be granted...not if it meant picking up the mantel again...
With a cold face she turned on her heel and walked away from the 'Kyubey' ignoring it as it called after her. She didn't want any part of that...none.
Yet deep down a thought occurred to her...she could see them again...be with them again...she could wish the well worked again...
She quickly shoved that thought down, she had resolved to move on with her life, to live what was left of it as a normal girl...
Kyubey merely grinned and trotted after her, she would give in, there would be a moment's weakness and he would strike.
Every human had a wish, a secret desire...he just had to wait for her to give in...they always did.
