Mizuki and Nokoru: *emo corner*

You're not still upset about last chapter… are you?

Mizuki and Nokoru: …

*sigh*

Homura's POV:

Seems like Mizuki isn't here yet…. How strange..

"M-Mizuki-chan isn't here yet... and the bell's going to ring very soon…" Madoka sighed staring at the street waiting for Mizuki, "No kidding….especially since it's so cold out here…." Kyouko shivered rubbing her mittens together.

*RING*

"Yikes! We have to go now, or will be late!" Sayaka said running to school, "Yes, perhaps she's coming later," I said walking to school catching up to Sayaka, "….right…." Madoka and Kyouko nodded and headed to school with us.

"I-I hope she's ok…. What if a witch or familiar attacked her?!" Madoka panicked, I turned to Madoka and answered, "If she were to be attacked on her way, shouldn't we have sensed it, Madoka?" Madoka's face was red in embarrassment and nodded, "R-right, Homura-chan…"

-Breaktime-

"So, Mizuki's absent today… how strange, huh?" Sayaka sighed looking at Mizuki's empty spot and stuffed a rice ball in her mouth, "Maybe she didn't feel well…" Kyouko suggested waving around her pocky stick, "I doubt it, she seems to be perfectly healthy yesterday, maybe a family emergency… who knows…" I said leaning on my elbow at the desk.

"Hey!"

Mami and Nokoru chirped happily sitting down next to Madoka and Homura. "Eh? Where's Mizuki-chan?" Nokoru asked looking around the classroom, "Eh…. Um…. She's absent today, Nokoru…" Madoka said shyly rolling her gyoza around, "Hmm… weird… maybe I should go check with her afterschool…" Nokoru said putting her chopsticks on her lips, "Um… can I come too?" Madoka asked putting her hands together, "No prob! The more the merrier!" Nokoru smiled patting Madoka's head.

"Then I shall accompany you, if you don't mind…" I said, "I wish I can go, but my parents want me home early today…" Sayaka sighed putting her head down, "And if she goes, I go too. You know…" Kyouko took a bite off her pocky stick and reached out for another one. "Sure, Homura! And Sayaka and Kyouko, we totally understand! What about you Mami?" Nokoru turned to Mami and Mami looked up from her bento, "Hmm… I was going to go witch hunting, but I think Mizuki needs us. So I'll come along!" Mami replied smiling.

"Great!" Nokoru cheered lifting her hands up.

-Afterschool-

"Bye See ya tomorrow!"

"Bye, Sayaka, Kyouko!"

We exchanged our good-bye's and headed out of school to visit Mizuki. "Brr… it's cold…" Madoka said tightening her pink coat, "Ya…" I replied rubbing my mittens together. "Maybe I could prepare some tea when we make it to Mizuki's house, if she would let me." Mami smiled walking down the streets in front of Madoka and me, "That sounds nice, Mami!" Nokoru cheered walking next to Mami.

We walked for quite a while and made a turn from the bus sign, then on our way there snowflakes started to fall, "…pretty…" I said holding out my hand for a snowflake and Madoka smiled staring at the snowflakes. "There's Mizuki's house! Come on!" Nokoru called out running to the gate of the house, Mami, Madoka, and I catched up to her and Nokoru tried to open the gate but it was locked. "Eh…. It's locked…" Nokoru sighed letting go of the gate, then an old lady past by carrying groceries stared at us, "Umm… do you have any business with the people of this house, miss?" She asked walking closer to us, "….we came to see Mizuki…" I answered.

"Ah, Mizuki, a sweet girl she is…. But she's not here. I saw her leave a few hours ago, she looked pretty down…"

"Oh…. Is that so? Do you know when she'll be back, miss?"

"Sorry dear, I don't know…"

"Ok, thank you very much." I bowed and she left walking down the street, "Hmm… I guess we have to wait till tomorrow, eh?" Mami sighed staring at Mizuki's house, "Ya…."We all replied and decided to go home, we split up along the path to get home. As I was walking along the street alone I became quite worried, "Mizuki…. Please don't become a magical girl…. If you are to become one… please think wisely about your wish."

Kyouko's POV:

I sat on Sayaka's bed eating a dango and laid down on the bed with a sigh. "Kyouko, aren't you going to do your homework?" Sayaka asked from her desk putting down her pen, I just took a bite of the dango and Sayaka sighed turning back to her desk. I finished my dango and put the stick in my mouth and got up to look out the window watching the snowflakes fall, "Hey…. Sayaka…"

"What's up, Kyouko?"

"Can you feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"I just….. have this uneasy feeling about something. It's bugging me."

"Eh? What are you talking about?'

"No-thing….. Forget I said anything…." I turned to Sayaka and ran to her hugging her, "Can I please~ copying your homework?" I winked as I cling on to her, "No way! Do it yourself!" Sayaka giggled pushing me off and we laughed.

Mizuki's POV:

"Mizuki, aren't you going home yet? It's almost 6." Kyubey asked sitting next to me on the park bench in the park covered with snow. I didn't reply and just stared at the frozen pond in front of us and tighten my coat, Kyubey just stared at me and sighed, "I don't get how humans feel emotions…. They remain a mystery to me…."

I looked up at the snowflakes falling and one landed on my nose, I looked down at the frozen pond,

"….Kyubey?"

"Yes?"

"What do you think is a good wish?"

"I'm not sure…. It depends on you."

"….. I see…. In that case…."

I stood up and looked at Kyubey seriously and Kyubey stared at me, …. In that case…. Maybe… I thought and reached out to Kyubey.

-Next Day(Normal POV)-

Madoka sighed as she drank her soda in the mall food court with Homura, Sayaka, Kyouko, and Nokoru. "I can't believe school is canceled today since the school's entrance is completely blocked with snow…." Sayaka mumbled eating her fries, "Why are you complaining!?" Kyouko cheered eating her ramen.

Homura sip her tea and she immediately turned to the bathroom with a serious look, "Eh… Homura-chan….. Are you ok?" Madoka asked and everyone looked at Homura, "…Yes… please excuse me." She got up putting her tea down and headed to the bathroom, "Maybe she really needed the bathroom?" Nokoru said looking at the bathroom and took a bite out of her salad.

Homura's POV:

I walked in the bathroom and closed the door behind me, heading to the stalls, I know you're here.

I walked into almost all the stalls and saw nothing, "It has to be…" I walked over to the last stall and opened it, then I saw a dark hole in this stall and my surroundings changed. "A witch…. I knew it." I transformed into my magical girl uniform and scanned my surroundings. You're a different kind of witch…. I wonder…. What kind of ability you have?

That's all for now!

Mizuki and Nokoru: Hey don't end it yet!

Wait till next chapter you two…. right now I can't feel my fingers….

Mizuki and Nokoru: ….
