Chapter 8: Witch Hunting Before Class

Jack gave a confused face but Kyoko said, "Just come on. She rarely lets anyone in to wherever she lives anyway. Count yourself lucky."

They followed Homura all the way to a building that looked a bit worn down but not unusable. She opened the door and walked in followed by everyone else.

Inside was an infinite looking, plain white space only to have a section with a few long seats that circled around a purple table in the center. Above it were images and events played and gears in the middle.

"What in the world?" Yusei muttered.

"How is this even possible?" Crow muttered. "Outside it would seem to be smaller."

"Let's get to the point and have her explain this time travel stuff," Jack said.

"Of course," Homura agreed. She sat down with Sayaka, Luna, and Kyoko beside her and Jack, Crow, Yusei, and Leo sat across from them. "My magic is unusual. I have the ability to hop back in time and freeze time. Multiple times I have watched Madoka fight the Walpurgisnacht alone and either get killed or turn into a witch. Each time I went back to stop her from becoming a Magical Girl to keep her away from that fate. But no matter what, she always became a Magical Girl. One day I told her about it and she told me to not try again as she didn't want to worry. Though I do sometimes freeze time in a fight, I have yet to turn back in time to keep Madoka from the fate that continues to befall her. After all, every time I went back in time, the more powerful Madoka became as a Magical Girl. I didn't want to make her suffer more. So in a way, I'm a time traveler but I have never gone into the future."

Everyone stayed silent. The guys were silent because of disbelief and shocked while the girls were silent to honor Homura's decision.

Sayaka stood up and stretched. "We should be heading home," she said. "We all need a rest."

"Sayaka's right. We all need to be rested and at full strength. With all these witches popping up, we need to be at full strength," Kyoko agreed.

"Be careful on your way home," Homura said. "And do not let despair or darkness fill your body and Soul Gem."

"Right," Luna agreed.

"Come on, you guys," Sayaka called. "We need to let Homura rest too."

Yusei nodded and left with Jack, Crow, and Leo following.

As they walked Yusei said to Luna, "Luna, I'm still not sure whether I want you to continue to fight these things. I don't want you to get hurt."

"I appreciate your concern but this is a fact of my life now. I can't turn back on it," she responded. "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't."

"I get it. We're just all worried," Yusei said.

"I understand but I'll be fine," Luna said calmly. "You don't have to worry."

Yusei just sighed. They came to a split in the side walk and Kyoko said, "I'm this way. I'll see you later."

"See ya, Kyoko!" called Sayaka.

"Bye!" called Luna.

"You guys should get home to," Yusei said. "Are you staying with Luna, Sayaka?"

"Yep," Sayaka answered. "I'll keep them safe if they need it."

"Good," Yusei said.

"Well, let's go," Crow yawned.

"See ya, guys," Luna called.

When they reached the house, Sayaka called Luna, "Hey Luna."

"Yeah?" she responded turning to her.

"One, nice job on the witch," Sayaka said. "Two, Kyoko, Homura, and I have all signed up to be in your school. Homura was sure to get into the class next to yours but Kyoko and I landed the last two spots in your class. We told them we were all your cousins that recently moved here. So when we get there, act like we're cousins."

"Right," Luna agreed. "By the way, how did you get signed into the school so fast?"

"Homura and her time magic allowed us to tap into the school's computer and get us signed up and enter tomorrow," Sayaka explained. "I know it seems wrong but us Magical Girl got to stick together. Especially with all these witches."

"Okay," Luna responded. "Well, we should all get to bed."

"Right," Sayaka agreed. "Good night."

"Night," Luna called as they went into their separate bedrooms.

The next morning, Luna and Leo were sitting in class. Homura walked by and glanced at Luna who each gave a small nod.

"Now class, we have a couple new students," Ms. Barttlet said.

"A couple more? That's a record," Patty whispered to Bob.

Sayaka and Kyoko walked in. "Hello, I'm Sayaka," greeted Sayaka. Every boy gawked at the two of them.

'Just wait until they meet Homura,' Luna thought.

"The name's Kyoko. How are you doing?" greeted Kyoko.

"Where are you two from?" Ms. Barttlet asked.

"We're both from Mitakihara, Japan," Sayaka answered.

"Isn't that where Madoka is from?" Bob asked them.

"Madoka was actually a dear friend of ours. And a new girl in the next classroom was friends with her too," Kyoko said. "I'm not that surprised Luna became friends with her. We always talked."

"How do you know each other?" Ms. Barttlet asked.

"Luna's our cousin. We've always kept in touch. We're more like sisters in a way," Kyoko lied. "When we heard Madoka went missing Sayaka, the other girl, and I all wanted to make sure her and Leo stayed safe."

All eyes turned to her and Luna rubbed her back in nervous embarrassment.

"I see," Ms. Barttlet said.

"Now fair warning, I have this condition where I faint from time to time. Not sure when it could happen so I'm always prepared for it. But I would need to head to the nurses office so they can put this stuff under my nose that you can't in a class room. I would honestly like it if Luna and Sayaka would take me whenever that happens," Kyoko lied.

"Okay," Ms. Barttlet agreed. "That's fair enough. Now please, take a seat."

"Thanks," Sayaka said.

She took what was once Madoka's spot next to Luna while Kyoko went in front of Sayaka.

"Nice cover idea, Kyoko," Sayaka told her in the lowest whisper.

"Thanks," Kyoko said.

Luna just smiled. Class went on for the lengthy part of the day and no witches were attacking thankfully. As the last period came, their rings started glowing. Thankfully it was between classes so Homura, Sayaka, Kyoko, and Luna ran out.

Bob and Patty noticed the four of them running and got confused. "Where do you think they're going?" Patty wondered aloud.

"Not sure, but they were in a hurry," Bob answered.

"Maybe something happened with one of their parents?" Patty thought.

"Who knows," Bob replied.

As they girls got a good distance away from the school, Sayaka and Homura brought their blue and purple Soul Gems out and followed the trail.
