Author's note: I'm still kinda a new author, although I have written fics in the past, one about Noir (Mirielle/Kirika) and another about Marimite (Sachiko/Yumi, Yoshino/Rei and Shimako/Noriko). I really like the Madoka series, particularly Kyouko, because of how straightforward and honest she is. I welcome any criticisms as I always seek to improve my writecraft. I'm also looking for a beta. Feel free to drop me a line anytime! I'll also respond to any reviews posted. Thank you for your time!

Before we begin, I'll give the standard warnings for these sorts of fics. Blah blah I don't own the Madoka series, I'm just giving them a little love (They need all they can get, right?). This fanfic series is yuri, as if you couldn't tell from the title. The pairings are Sayaka/Kyouko, Homura/Madoka and lastly Mami/Charlotte (I know, I know… but you'll see!).

In the hands of an infinite Goddess, or perhaps an infinite Witch, one reality was created. This reality, which was no more than a dream to that almighty Being, steadily overwhelmed its senses until It and the Dream had themselves become one. She breathed, and a new world, with new possibilities was born... but were they all good?

Chapter 1 - Sick of it?

Sakura Kyouko was an average student. She lived an average life. She always did as she was told. Believed as she was told. Said as she was told. Mostly. Ok, maybe not mostly.

Still... there was something in her that couldn't take the life she had now. She felt like it was a lie. She felt as though she was missing something, and that something was right around the corner. Maybe even...

"Kaname-san!" called out one of the male students, "I think Sakura-san is sick or something, she's been practically sleeping all day!"

"Y-yes, I'm aware, Wakamoto-san, I'll go see what's wrong with her..."

Kaname Madoka, a cheerful girl with surprisingly pink pigtails, a spontaneous optimism towards life in general and overall good student. She was somewhat short for her age, and most definitely not the best at physical activities. Nevertheless, when it came to helping others, she was always willing to go 100%, no matter who it was. Naturally, she was picked as Class Health Representative, as her reliability was unmatched compared to any other student... except perhaps Akemi Homura.

Madoka slowly got up from her seat, aware that lunch break would end soon. As she walked over to Kyouko, a blue haired girl winked at her, and shrugged as if to say "Sorry, wish I could help!" Madoka nodded at her as she was reaching Kyouko's desk.

With a calm, but certain voice, and enunciating each word as clearly as possible, Madoka said, "Sakura-san...Sakura-san...are you alright? Um..."

Slowly opening her eyes, Kyouko was greeted with a puffed up, yet worried look on Madoka's face. Kyouko could only slightly nod in agreement, and that nod was clearly not up to Madoka's par when it came to spelling "alright."

"Sensei! Sakura-san seems to be sick... I'm going to take her to the nurse's office..."

"Very well, then..." chimed the teacher, as if this were just an everyday occurrence.

Slowly opening her eyes once again, Kyouko felt her own forehead. It did appear to be somewhat warm. Maybe she really was catching a fever? She held her hand out, and was promptly pulled up by Madoka in a somewhat sudden fashion.

"Hey! What was that for? I just feel a bit sleepy...ok?" Kyouko barked, although her voice sounded somewhat frazzled, and a little... squeaky? /Oh GOD! This is what I get for staying up all night watching Utena... and maybe eating one or two snacks here or there...yeah.../ Kyouko thought.

Madoka, feeling a bit shaken by her outburst, let go of her hand and took a slight step back, then promptly gave Kyouko a technique she had learned from her mother. The Glare, a surefire patented technique that brought all whining students to their knees in a matter of seconds. While Kyouko was indeed a new student, and Madoka wasn't completely familiar with her attitude, in all other cases, it worked 100% of the time. Madoka clenched her hands into fists, lurched ever-so slightly forward, and furrowed her brows and narrowed her eyes.

Kyouko was a bit taken aback by Madoka's sudden forwardness, not expecting someone she thought to be as friendly as a rabbit to suddenly act as though she had become a snake. Kyouko could only do one thing with such a fierce look given to her by such a... a normally shy girl. She laughed, and laughed so hard that the entire class saw the situation. They in turn giggled and soon the entire classroom echoed with their joined laughter.

Madoka felt like she wanted to die on the spot right there, until a certain blue haired girl stepped in...

"Hey, all of you guys quit laughing! NOW!" Sayaka managed to say, with a look at would scare even a lion. Sayaka got up and promptly walked over to where Madoka and Kyouko were. She roughly took Kyouko by the hand and dragged her out of the class, with Madoka looking all the while dazed from the speed at which Sayaka had managed to do everything.

"Sensei, I'm taking Sakura-san to the Nurse's office now!" yelled Sayaka as she stormed out the door.

The sensei could only nod her head and droop her shoulders as this was all taking place. She really hated drama. At least this wasn't as hard to deal with compared to dating...

"Hey... what are you doing... let go of me-" Kyouko squeaked, now somewhat terrified of this mysterious girl who seemed a bit ferocious...

Sayaka suddenly stopped as she was pulling her by the hand, and faced Kyouko squarely.

"-you made fun of Madoka! She's my best friend, and she always shows respect to everyone... EVERYONE! And furthermore, you got the entire class to join in with you! Now Madoka... I don't know... but I'm sure her feelings will be really hurt..." Sayaka yelled, her face near Kyouko's, who looked downward, guilt eating away at her. Sayaka was holding her by the shoulders, and as she had said every word, the pressure on them increased.

After a few seconds of non-response by Kyouko, she also looked slightly downward before saying, "Hey... look at me..." in a soft voice, while also realizing that she might have shaken up the red-haired girl a bit too much. She immediately took her hands off Kyouko's shoulders.

"...I'm sorry. I just... look... let me go apologize to her, ok? I made a mistake, and I feel horrible about it..." Kyouko said in a regretful tone, before looking up and finally meeting eyes with Sayaka.

Kyouko felt a rush of emotion enter her, her heart suddenly beating fast. She was instantly captivated by her. Unfortunately, this was also the time when her body decided it was time to sneeze. "Aaah...aaah...ahc-" As she reeled her head back, Sayaka quickly got out a handkerchief and held it over Kyouko's nose. After a bit of sneezing into it, she blew her nose. A bit loudly to boot. /Oh god... great way to make a first impression... not only did I insult her best friend, but I almost sneezed over her too! Geez.../

"Th-thank you," Kyouko said, turning bright red from her embarrassment and still being enamored with Sayaka. Not that such a thing would go away it seemed now. Not that she wanted it too, either.

"It's no problem... Sakura-sa-"

"You can call me Kyouko... and I'll go apologize to her now..."

Bowing to Sayaka, she ran off towards the classroom, her long red hair swishing all the while. Sayaka could only stand there in amazement at how this girl seemed to do a 180 in attitude adjustment. There was also something else about her that caught her eye, but Sayaka brushed it off.

After that day, things wouldn't be the same again.

End note: Maybe I made Sayaka seem too much like an asshole? Well, she's not exactly known for being the most understanding. Oh well!
