Dark Magica

Chapter 1: The Discovery

*Yawn* A boy wakes up from sleeping. Medium length black hair, aqua eyes, and a stoic face emerge from under the covers. (Man...another day...) He rises out of bed and begins his morning routine.

(My name is Yugure Nozomi, and I'm a Junior attending High School in Mitakihara City.) *Brushes teeth* (Everyday I do the same boring routine. I wake up, I make breakfast, I go to class, and I come home.) *Takes a hot shower* (I've tried everything there is to do for fun, but it always gets boring after a while. I've been on the look out for something new to try to keep me occupied in my spare time.) *Puts on cloths* A pair of black dress pants, a long sleeve white button up shirt, a black button up vest, and a pair of sharp shiny dress shoes. (Hummm...I think eggs sound good today) *Makes four eggs over medium in a pan with salt and pepper* (I better hurry, I don't want to be late to class.) *Walks outside, hops on a bike and rides to school*

Yugure locks his bike up in front of the school and heads to class. The bell rings and Yugure is in his seat by the window, starring outside at the birds. The teacher walks in and begins by passing out papers and telling the students to turn on their bunsen burners. (I used to like this class, but I've studied it to the point where I already know everything in the high school curriculum.) *Doodles on paper* The teacher walks up "Yugure, I wish you'd take this class seriously, now turn on your bunsen burner and begin the assignment." *Sigh* "Yes ."

Lunch begins. (I don't really have any friends, so I usually eat alone) Yugure hears his nickname, Yuu, and looks over with subterfuge, to see a group of girls talking. Blonde girl "Yea, I think Yuu is cute, you should totally go over there and sit with him!" Purple haired girl "I dunno, he's kinda scarry, what if he yells at me?" Green haired girl "But you have to try, or you'll never know!" Purple haired girl with a newfound self confidence "You're right!"

(She's coming this way...well at least this will kill my boredom for lunch period.) Purple haired girl "H...h...hi there Yuu." (Hummm...she seems shy still, I should act cool maybe that will help her calm down.) With a depressing and dark aura, Yuu says "Yo." The purple haired girl takes a deep breath, gulps, sweats rapidly, and runs away crying. (Hummm...I wonder what set her off like that? It always ends up like this...) *Sigh* (I guess I'm eating alone again today. Might as well enjoy the nice weather.)

Classes come and go until school is almost done. Yugure sits at his desk for last period, daydreaming. (That new Rise CD is coming out today. I should go to the mall and see if it's any good.) *Bell rings* The teacher is talking about weekend homework in the background as Yuu continues daydreaming and leaving the classroom. The teacher yells "Yugure! I'm not done yet!" "Yea yea, homework page 193-194 due on Monday, I got it." After Yuu leaves, the teacher says to herself "I wish he'd take math class more seriously."

Yuu grabs his things and leaves the school. On his way out a boy approaches him. Brown haired boy "Hey Yuu, want to join the track team this year?" (I used to be on the track team a few years back. I'm pretty good at running, and I keep in shape, but it just got repetitive after a while.) "No sorry, not this year."

Yuu grabs a health drink from a vending machine before heading to the music store. (The mall is busy today, as to be expected on a Friday after school and work hours.)

Yuu goes over to a console and proceeds to accomplish what he came here to do. (Hummm...this isn't bad. I may decide to buy her CD if there are more good songs like...huh? What's up with that pink haired girl over there? She looks confused all the sudden.)

(I wonder what her deal is? Now she looks like she's trying to listen for something...I don't hear anything out of the ordinary.) The pink haired girl begins to wander off, as if led by something. (This could be interesting, I'm going to follow her.)

After following her around the mall for a while, the pink haired girl enters a restricted area of the mall. (Hummm...it looks like that area is under renovation. Is her dad working on it? No...it's after hours for laborers, and besides, I don't see anyone else around. This is getting interesting.)

The girl enters a room and asks "Where are you? Who are you?" (I don't hear anything...what in the world is going on here?) A metal plate suddenly falls above her. (SHIT! No way I can make it in time!) It misses her. (Man...that was close. I don't think she noticed me though.)

She picks up something from the ground and says "Was it you?" (The hell man...nothing is there. This is really starting to freak me out.) Another girl appears, a black haired girl.

(They seem to know each other.) (The pink haired girl called her Homura, I'll have to remember that. Her eyes say something serious is up.) Homura tells the pink haired girl to leave him alone. (If Homura sees it too, the pink haired girl can't just be crazy. If I can't see it, that means most people cant, and since I've never heard of anything like this on the news, it must be something the general public is oblivious to. I probably just stumbled onto something HUGE. I need to gather more information before I make a move and try to get involved.)

Suddenly a fire extinguisher goes off, knocking Homura back. (I find out the pink haired girls name is Madoka and the new blue haired girl is Sayaka. They both run off. I need to decide who to follow and fast.) Suddenly Homura disappears. (What...what the hell? Well I guess that decides it for me) Yugure darts after the two girls, while trying to stay out of their sight. The girls dissappear while running down a hallway. (Again...hummm...I can't just let this go. I'm going to camp out around here and see if they reappear.)

(I hope they come back so I can figure out what's going on here.) A few minutes pass, and the girls reappear. (Huh, I hear voices.) Yuu checks around the corner and sees the girls with another blonde. (Hummm...now there are four of them, that confirms it.)

The blonde says to Homura "The witch has ran away, if you want to kill it you should chase after her as soon as possible." (Now there are witches? I better keep listening.) The blonde threatens Homura by telling her that she wont get in the way this time. She isn't interested though, she's on another agenda. Homura flees the scene. (She didn't seem intimidated, I wonder why she left?)

The blonde holds out a necklace and a light emits from it. She says "You should thank these two girls, I just happened to be passing by." Madoka asks it if it was asking her for help, then Sayaka exclaims "How do you know our names?" Madoka responds "Something?" Then the two say "Huh? Really?" and "My wish?" (A wish? This is it...I've stumbled onto something that could make my life exciting for a very long time.) *Yugure grins*
