Author's Note: I do not own Black Rock Shooter

Chapter 6: Wonderful Spirit

'Where am I?'

'Why is it so dark?'

'But…it feels so warm'

Yomi slowly opened up her eyes, exhausted for whatever reason she can't think of right now. Looking around her were several cabinets with a lab coat hanging off a rack. The room was white and clean and had a strong yet, pleasant smell in the air. Yomi noticed there was a heavy weight on her chest, she looked down at herself and there was a sleeping girl.

"Mato! She's awake." Yuu called from waiting on a chair in the room patiently while Kagari was interrupted from her knitting. Mato held a small groan coming from the chest and slowly got up. She then looked directly at her for a few seconds before engulfing Yomi in a hug, squealing in joy.

"Yomi!" Mato had the brightest smile on her face, which Yuu and Kagari exhaled in relief that at least Mato was her old self again giving a warm smile at the two best friends having a one-sided hug.

"Mato, I'm glad to see you and all, but I can't breathe." Yomi said from beneath Mato's arms and uniform. Mato giggled at the statement and gently pulled herself away.

"I'd like to thank all of you for visiting me at the hospital but, why am I at the hospital?" Yomi asked

Mato stood up inching towards Yomi's face making her feel a bit uncomfortable, "You fell unconscious in the train you dummy!"

"What?" Yomi was confused

"I almost got a heart attack when it happened! You were standing still for a few seconds then you just flopped!" Mato explained.

"Oh, I'm sorry…" Yomi said apologetically. Mato was going to try and pick on her some more and find out why exactly she had fallen in the first place, but decided it was too much of a hassle and could potentially make the situation worse.

"You better be sorry! Do you know how worried I was about you?!" Mato was continuing to scold Yomi while she listened in shame, "You even missed a school day!" Kagari stood up.

"Shut it, Mato, as if even listening when you are there." Mato hung her head down in shame, "besides, it's not like Yomi missed anything, it was pouring out so much even the teachers started to get lazy, we were just reading from the textbooks for the entire day." Kagari finished.

"Yeah, it's still pouring outside isn't it?" Yuu looked outside the window noticing the dark clouds still bringing down rain with signs of lightning appearing frequently.

Yomi was also looking at the downpour when she took a good look at Mato,

"Mato?"

"Hmm?" Mato hummed

"When did you grow out your hair?" looking at Mato's hair which is usually arranged in an pig-tail manner, Yomi has not had the chance to look at its growth due to her being away for most of the summer due to his dads international business, but looking at it now, it goes down almost to her waist.

"All summer, I haven't felt like cutting it, why?" Mato asked, tilting her head at little

Yomi gave her a small smile, "No reason, I just think it looks cuter grown out." Causing both her and Mato to blush, both of them looking away in embarrassment.

Yuu couldn't help but smile at the flirting attempt Yomi made, and sparked an idea in her mind, "Hey Mato?"

"Yes?" Mato asked

Mato walked closer to Mato who was still sitting on the chair beside Yomi's bed, "Your hair grew out, yes?" Yuu asked, Mato looked at her confused.

"How did anyone not notice anyway?" Mato pouted, missing her old hair already.

Yuu was silently chuckling and rested her arms on the chair, "I'm glad, but next them you should really grow something else out?" Yuu winked at Yomi, who stared at her confused.

"Oh really, let me guess, my height?" Mato said, rolling her eyes sarcastically.

Yuu gave an evil chuckle, "Nope. These!" Suddenly Yuu wrapped her arounds around Mato's flat chest giving them a firm squeeze in the process.

"Yaaah!" Mato shrieked, slapping Yuu straight across the face, sending her spiraling to the floor. Yomi was trying her best to not break out laughing to tears while Kagari paid no attention to what was happening but still had a small grin on her face. Yuu was just dying on the floor with laughter and pain.

"You-you pervert!" Mato yelled at Yuu, madly blushing. Yuu was still on the ground, laughing to the brink of tears. Mato turned to Yomi who was starting to giggle.

"You think it's funny eh?" Yomi had a menacing smile plastered on her face, Yomi backed off slightly, still giggling

"Yes?"

Mato dashed straight for Yomi jumping into the air, "Well let's see how you like it!" tackling Yomi off her bed, laughing the whole time.

From the floor was a loud shriek from Yomi, "Mato you sick pervert!"


Rock was walking on checkered ground, no destination in mind endlessly walking through the strange and physically impossible terrain. Navigating it can often be a problem, due to whole the world can suddenly warp into whole new structures and terrain.

Due to the unbreakable bond Rock and Mato has they are able to feel each other's emotions and the state they are in. During the incident that morning, Mato was in a state of turmoil and sadness causing pain onto her and rock, but for some reason, she suddenly became calm, joyful even.

Rock was surprised that she can even feel these emotions, that she deserves someone like Mato, that she deserves to be happy like Mato.

(Why did Master become sad?) Rock thought, (she's always so happy) feeling a sense of guilt from not protecting her from that pain. She stopped dead in her tracks when she heard a sound other than her own. It was giggling, a child's giggling coming from all around her.

(Master loves to have fun) a childish voice came from behind Rock. Rock turned around immediately, looking at her assailant, a girl she had never met before, but she could already tell she's a threat.

(You also like to have fun, miss?) The child's smile grew wider, bringing a knife into existence not a single stain present.

(Let's play!) The child's left eye burst into a purple flame. Rock was shocked, wondering how a little girl could already possess that type of power, sheathing her own sword, Black ignited her own blue flame.

A/N: Sooo, I'm going on a trip on Monday for an entire week so don't expect any chapters being written. This one was I would call filler but it's just to lighten the mood a little bit before it gets all depressing again. Really all I gotta say, luv u all!
