Before I begin this chapter, I regret to say there was a typo in the previous, I wouldn't bring this up except it was a rather important typo... I said the range on the soul gems was 10 feet when I well know that the range is 100 meters... I screwed up. I'm sorry.
This does not change the part where Kazuno threw the thing out of range... She has one hell of a throwing arm, and we'll get to that when we get to that. Also this chapter involves lesbians, if you don't like that then first, what are you doing in Puella Magi fanfiction? This place is about 90% yuri. Second, just wait for the next chapter. You won't lose much from not reading this one.

The following night...

Ayame and Kazuno stood triumphantly as the witch before them burst, leaving only a grief seed. Ayame picked it up and rolled it around in her fingers.

"Here, Kazuno, you take this one." She offered. Kazuno shook her head.

"Ayame I hardly used any magic on that last one, you need it more!" She argued.

"You sure?"

"Sure am!"

"Alright then..." Ayame pressed the grief seed against her soul gem and drained the pollution from it. "Do you want to go see if we can find another one?"

"Nah, I wanna get some sleep." Kazuno said, then yawned. "Let's just go home."

Ayame and Kazuno made their way back to their apartment. Kazuno changed into her blue pyjama's covered with cats, and Ayame into her red night gown.

"Do you want a glass of warm milk before you go to bed?" Ayame asked.

"When don't I want a glass of warm milk before bed?" Kazuno answered smiling. Ayame prepared the milk, and handed the glass to Kazuno. Kazuno accepted it happily. "Thanks Ayame! You're the best girlfriend ever!"

"I try my best..." Ayame said with a small smile. "Say... Kazuno, I've always wondered, what was your wish?"

"Hmm?"

"You know, your wish when you became a magical girl, what was it?"

"Oh that!" Kazuno smiled widely. "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours!"

"You don't want to know what my wish was." Ayame said firmly.

"Yes I do~"

"Kazuno, no."

"If you don't tell me yours I won't tell you mine~"

Ayame groaned. Some how Kazuno's childish ways always managed to get her what she wanted.

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you.
"You remember how I told you about my mother, right? You know, how she died before I could remember. So it was just me and my dad until I was about seven, that's when he go remarried. The woman he married seemed nice enough... When he was around... When ever he left me with her she became a complete nightmare. She'd hit me and force me to do all the chores she was expected to, and then tell my dad that she did them. I'd try and tell my dad that she was like this, but he wouldn't believe me. One day she shoved me into the sharp corner on the stair railing, that's how I got this." Ayame ran her fingers along the scar over her left eye. "She told my dad I tripped, I told him what really happened, he believed her."

"Ayame that's awful!" Kazuno interrupted. "How could they treat you like that?!"

"I'm not quite done yet." Ayame said firmly. "Anyways... It was shortly after that when Kyubey came to me, offered me a wish in exchange for my soul. Said it could be anything. I knew what I wanted, I wanted that woman dead. So... Naturally that was my wish."

"Makes sense."

"I'm still not done. Just wishing her dead wasn't the full extent of my wish, no, you see, not only did I wish her dead, I wished for my father to kill her, I thought there would be nothing that would give me more pleasure than that. So that was my wish... It didn't last very long. After my dad came to his senses and saw what he had done he hung himself, leaving me on my own." Ayame sighed. "The worst part is, despite the aftermath, I don't regret my wish for a second." Kazuno say there in shock, not saying a word. "I understand if you don't love me anymore after hearing all that."

"Did your wish make you happy?" Kazuno asked. Ayame thought for a moment.

"I suppose, for a while. Like I said, I don't regret it really." She replied.

"Then that's all that matters to me. I don't care if your wish was for someone to kill someone else. If I was put in the same situation as you, I'd probably do the same." Kazuno set down her milk, leaned over the coffee table and kissed Ayame softly. "I still love you." Ayame blushed fiercely. "So, you still wanna hear about my wish?" Kazuno asked.

"U-um, yeah, sure." Ayame stammered.

"Alright then. So, ever since I was a little girl I have loved cats. Nothing in the world to me was better than cats. So, when Kyubey came and offered me a wish, I wished for every cat that will ever encounter me to love me!" Kazuno said gleefully. Ayame stared at her for a second. Deep down inside, she knew this shouldn't be a surprise to her in the least.

"So I take it you decided that's what would make you the most happy?" Ayame asked. Kazuno nodded.

"Yup! Of course this was before I met you, so back then cats were the most important things in the whole world to me." Kazuno smiled. "You're the most important to me now, but cats are still a close second." Ayame chuckled.

"Thanks Kazuno." A stern look then crossed her face.

"Ayame, is there something wrong?" Kazuno asked.

"Kazuno, I want you to promise me something."

"Sure, what is it?"

"You know how those witches were once magical girls like us?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't want to be one of them. I want you to promise me that if I am about to become a witch, please just kill me then and there."
