A few days had passed since Sayaka saved Kyubey and first learned of magical girls. Madoka, true to her word, managed to convince Hitomi they weren't talking about her. Homura was still being mysterious. Nothing serious had happened and nothing persuaded Sayaka to contract.
It was now Friday, and Sayaka was racing down the hall of the hospital, eager to Kyousuke. She finally reached the door and pushed it open. "Kyousuke, I'm-" She began to say before realizing there was nobody in the room.
Sayaka's breath slowed down to a steady rate. She didn't dare move a step, and just stood there, staring into the empty space, until one of the nurses walked on by. "Oh my, are you here to see Kamijou-kun?".
Sayaka slowly turned her head to face the young nurse, and nodded.
"I'm sorry, but his examination date was moved up so he's in the rehabilitation area right now".
Sayaka's clenched her teeth as her face darkened. "I see…thank you". She turned and walked down the hall to the elevator, where she waited. She sighed, reminiscing about the time she spent with him in the last week. It's just bad luck. He can't control when he's examinations are.
The elevator door pinged, and Sayaka stepped inside the carriage, where an elderly grandmother and her niece were waiting. She said nothing to them, and stared down at her feet until they arrived at the ground floor.
Stepping out of the crowded lobby and into the sun, Sayaka broke off into a run. She needed to find Madoka and Kyubey, as she had some very important things to discuss with the two of them.
She kept running until she reached Madoka's house, where stopped and leant against the wall of the structure to catch her breath. She pressed the buzzer, and almost instantly, Madoka's father, Tomohisa, answered the door.
"Oh, hello, Sayaka-san! You're looking for Madoka, right?".
"Yes, sir…"
Tomohisa turned and yelled up the stairwell. "Madoka! Sayaka is here, and she needs to talk to you!".
A few minutes passed before Madoka came racing down the stairs. "Now, don't be out to late, girls".
"We won't!" Both Madoka and Sayaka said before walking down the driveway.
"So, what is it you need to talk about?" Madoka asked her friend.
"I can't explain it in detail, as we need to find Kyubey. I believe he might be at my place".
The aforementioned white creature leapt out of the trees above them and into Madoka's arms. "You called?".
"Wow, that was eerily convenient. Have you been following us all day?" Sayaka asked.
"Why yes I have, and now that I am present, the discussion may start!".
Sayaka cleared her throat before grasping Madoka's hands. "Madoka….i've decided to become a magical girl!".
Madoka gasped. "That's amazing, Sayaka-chan! So have you figured out what you want to wish for?".
"Yes, but I need your help…..would you be willing to also accept a contract…..but use your wish to heal Kyousuke? I know I'm asking a lot, and you're potentially throwing away a once in a lifetime opportunity….but I would really appreciate it if you did this for me!" Sayaka cried, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
"Sayaka-chan…"
Sayaka felt a hand brush away her tears, and she looked up to see Madoka smiling. "You're my best friend, Sayaka-chan. I will do this for you, for Kamijou-kun!".
Both girls turned to Kyubey. "We would both like to contract and become magical girls!".
Sayaka turned to face Madoka, and muttered a quick "thank you" to her before stepping forward to face Kyubey. "So what is your wish, Sayaka Miki?".
"I wish…..i wish for Kyousuke to love me, not just as a friend, but as a girlfriend!".
Kyubey's long ears began to rise, and she felt her chest tighten. A blue coloured light rose as Sayaka winced in pain. "The contract is complete. Your desire has given you awesome power, now release it! Grab hold of your destiny!" Kyubey said.
She reached out and grabbed the light, feeling it solidify in her palms. She opened up her hands to reveal a blue Soul Gem resting there.
"Sayaka-chan, do you feel any different?" Madoka asked. Sayaka shook her head slowly. "No, but I guess I won't see if the wish has worked until I see Kyousuke next".
Kyubey walked over to where Madoka was standing and nudged her leg. "Now it's your turn, Madoka Kaname! What is the wish that will bind you to a life of combat?".
"For my friend Sayaka, i wish for her beloved's hand to be healed, so he shall play the violin once more!".
Kyubey repeated the same process with Madoka, and the pink haired girl now clasped a luminous pink Soul Gem in her hands.
"Now that you are both magical girls, I must alert you to the dangers of fighting witches. Ordinary humans cannot see witches, so it is hard to find the entry points to their labyrinths. You can use your Soul Gems to track the negative energy. Some places I would recommend searching are highways or places gang fights are likely to occur, as well as bridges and other popular suicide destinations. Witches can also send off familiars who are not as strong as them, but if they eat enough humans they will transform into a witch".
"Doesn't sound too difficult. We could do it, right? Madoka and Sayaka-chan, Magical Girls of Mitakihara!" Sayaka laughed.
"Witches will also drop Grief Seeds once you defeat them, which you can use to purify you're Soul Gem, therefore restoring your magic!".
Madoka and Sayaka both looked at each other before nodding their heads. "Let's go find some witches, Madoka!".
AUTHORS NOTE: Relatively short chapter, but i wanted to save the actual witch battles until chapter 4 :P
