It had now been nearly two years since the incident. Walpurgisnacht had been mysteriously defeated by an unknown creature. Ever since that night everything had been well, different. The whole concept of magical girls seemed to be off. It always seemed as if there used to be so much more to fight for and protect. Homura had also never been the same. She spent her days mourning over an unknown girl known as Madoka, who ever the fuck that was. Mami and I imagined the girl had been an ex-lover of Homura's from another town or school. Sayaka of course just predicted she had been losing her mind, finally. I can't imagine how damn amazing that Madoka must have been for the cold hearted she-bitch to fall in love.

I never really liked Homura from the start. She always seemed so smug, so certain she was perfect and had this whole thing planned out, every detail of her life. I rolled my eyes knowing with all of this on my mind I wouldn't be able to sleep. I sat up, flipping my long red hair that had been in vicious knots from my constant tossing and turning. I quickly stood, slipping on both my light green hoodie and blue denim shorts. Maybe a walk was all I needed to clear my mind.

I quietly exited the large church doors heading for downtown Mitakihara. Since it had almost been 2 in the morning, the whole town appeared as if it had been abandoned. I walked along taking out a box of pocky from my pocket and instantly sticking one into my mouth. I instantly heard the faint sound of footsteps in the distance. Soon a familiar voice joined the footsteps.

"Yo! Homura, what are ya' doin' out here so late?"

She stared blankly at me and responded, "The question is, what are you doing out here so late?"

"I never sleep much, this is normal for me."

"I'm actually just trying to clear my mind..."

"Ah, I am too! So what's bothering ya', eh?"

"I just ... miss somebody who was once close to me..."

"Here we go again about that damn Madoka chick! Thought ya' were smarter than that Homura-Chan! If she hasn't come for ya' then she never loved ya'"

Homura broke down in tears and slowly fell to the ground. "B-Bu- S-She..."

"Homura-chan..."

"Yes?..."

"She didn't even tell ya' she loved ya', did she?"

She stood silent still on the ground. I knew the answer simply from her actions and nodded.

I stepped by her side now actually feeling bad for her. Maybe she did have a heart after all. I bravely grabbed her hand, helping her up.

"H-Hey, Homura. Ya' gonna be okay?"

"Thank you... Kyoko..."

"What the hell did I do?"

"You helped me realize a lot..."

I sighed knowing she wouldn't be okay for a long, long time.

"Ya' never are nice to me, but eh, I care for some strange reason, I'd feel safer if ya stayed with me for the night, you shouldn't be all alone at home."

"I do not wish to be a bother."

"Just accept the damn offer."

For the first time in forever, Homura chuckled and followed by my side.
