"Would anyone care to return her broom?"

Kim turned to her weapon. "Should we...?" Jacqueline nodded. Kim went to pick up Akumi's broom and the two of them walked out into the hall. 'Where'd she go?' Kim thought, looking around.

After a few minutes of aimlessly wandering the halls, Jackie caught sight of Akumi's cape. They ran over. There they discovered Akumi curled up in the same position from when she was on the chair, head buried in her knees.

"Are you okay?" Kim asked as she bent down to her level. All she heard was sniffling. "Where's your weapon? Wouldn't she have cought up to you by now?"

Akumi raised her head a little. "Leave me alone."

"It's okay, she's a witch too," Jackie said. Akumi brought her head up fully. Her eyes were red and puffy and tears stained her cheeks.

"R- really?"

Kim nodded her head and gave her the broom. And with that, they headed back to the classroom, leaving Cindy to get herself lost in the school.


'Seriously, where the heck is she?' Cindy thought, looking around. 'Don't tell me she got lost!' She began running through one hall after another, but they all looked the same. After about ten minutes, she found herself outside. "WHAT THE HELL?!" she angrily shouted. Cindy stomped back in, hoping to at least find her back to class. She continuously started to bump into walls and tripping over her own feet in her blind rage. "WHERE"S MAKA WHEN YOU NEED HER?!"

(At Home)

Akumi was once again curled up in a ball in her room. Cindy was making dinner, but not even the scent of her delicious cooking could lure Akumi out, seeing as that's always happened.

"I still can't believe you left me! You of all people!" Cindy shouted from the kitchen. She sighed. "Anyways, dinner's ready!"

Akumi got up and walked out of her room. "But on the bright side, I made a friend," she answered, taking her plate of fried rice and pork (thats what Cindy made) and sat at the table.

"Yeah, cool. What'd you say her name was again? Kay?"

"Kim," Akumi corrected. "She's a witch."

Cindy consumed a large spoonful of her rice and swallowed. "What does she look like?"

"She has short pink hair and she wears a green school girl uniform."

"Oh! She's the girl that sits behind us!" Cindy realized.

Akumi nodded, taking small bites of her pork. "Her weapon is Jacqueline."

"The girl that dresses exactly like Kim?"

"Yeah."

"I just thought she was a big fan."

The conversation continued into the night 'til bed.

That night, Akumi was just lying in bed, thinking. 'Looks like I'm off to a good start...'
