Okay so I decided to upload another chapter early just because the first one was pretty short.
"I don't recall having already made a contract with you..." It commented.
Yoake stood before it outside her school, she needed answers to everything that had happened, and she needed them now.
"Listen you, you THING! My cousin was dead, and now he's not, explain that to me!" She demanded.
"I see... So your cousin died..." The creature thought for a second. "Ah, I see. You must have wished for him to be revived then, or something along those lines..." It said.
"Actually, I did. But I thought that didn't actually happen!"
"Your soul gem is proof that it did. Now, I don't have the capabilities to raise the dead, so to grant your wish, you were given time manipulation powers, so you could go back to before he was dead and stop him from dying your self." The creature explained.
"How do I do that?" Yoake asked.
"You could use your magical girl powers to save him from whatever it was that killed him." The creature suggested. Yoake's eyes widened.
"What's the date?!" She demanded.
"I believe to you humans today is June fourth."
Yoake checked her watch, it was ten. In one hour Akiro would be hit by a bus and die.
"Oh no! I have to go find him now!" She exclaimed, running to find the intersection where he was hit.
Yoake reached the intersection at 10:55. She couldn't see Akiro anywhere.
"Maybe he won't come here after all?" She said to herself hopefully, only to have that hope shattered by the sight of her cousin walking towards the intersection, and the sight of a bus in the distance. Yoake's heart was pounding. She wasn't sure what to do.
"What are you waiting for?" The creature asked. "Just activate your soul gem and use your time manipulating powers."
"But how do I do that?!" Yoake asked frantically.
"Just take off that ring..." The creature started. Yoake did as it instructed, the ring turned into an egg shaped turquoise gem in her hand. "Now press on the top of it."
When Yoake pressed the top of the gem, something happened that she didn't fully understand. In the blink of an eye, her outfit changed to a high collared black sleeveless shirt with turquoise lining the tips of the collar, and going down the middle. She now had black baggy pants that were tucked into black and turquoise boots. She wore black and turquoise arm coverings and black fingerless gloves. She also had black and turquoise head phones, and on the left side there was a heart shaped turquoise gem.
"Huh?! How is this-" Yoake started.
"Your wish... If you keep getting distracted it won't come true!" The creature warned. Akiro was drawing closer to the intersection, so was the bus...
"No! How do I stop it?!" Yoake asked.
"Make it stop."
"How?!"
"Make it."
"HOW?!"
At that moment a watch appeared around Yoake's wrist, and time stopped. Only Yoake could move freely.
'Well... Time stopped, I guess... Now what?'
Akiro was frozen in front of the bus, a terrified look on his face. Yoake had to move him. She started to drag him by his arm off the street, but he was very heavy, so this was quite the task. After a while she managed to get him out of the way of the bus. She ran back to her old position before time had stopped.
"Okay, time can go again!" She said, thinking that would work. It didn't. "Oh come on!" She began to hit the watch on her arm until time flowed properly again. She was enveloped in light, her original outfit returned, and her soul gem was back on her hand. Akiro stood shocked on the side walk as the bus sped past him. He had survived.
"Now your wish has been granted." The creature said. "But at a price." Yoake examined her soul gem, it now had black fog in it. "It is likely that is not your main magic, so it seems as though it will pollute your soul gem much more than usual for you to use it." The creature explained. "But I will tell you more about that later, for now, don't you have somewhere to be?"
"Oh you're right! I'm missing school!" Yoake exclaimed. "Oh, but before I go, what's your name?"
"I am Kyubey."
-
"Yoake, I got a call from your school today. They said you didn't arrive until lunch. We're you trying to skip?" Akiro scolded.
"I'm sorry, I got a little side tracked on my way to school. It won't happen again." Yoake promised.
"Side tracked by what?" Akiro pressed. Yoake tried to think of an excuse quickly.
"Some guys tried to mug me." She lied, instantly regretting it.
"What?! Are you okay?! Did they take anything?!" Hairi asked, panicked.
"You were mugged?! Did you report it to the police?!" Akiro asked.
"Um, no, I didn't." Yoake replied.
"Why not?"
"Well I don't remember what any of the guys looked like, and they didn't manage to get anything anyways." Yoake explained.
"... Alright then." Akiro accepted that as an answer. "And I thought I had a bad day..."
"What happened?!" Hairi asked.
"I was almost hit by a bus earlier." Akiro started. "I swore it was going to get me, but then, it didn't. It missed me completely. I still don't really understand how it happened." Yoake remained silent, but smiled. She was just happy that her cousin was alive.
