Entry 13: What was your wish?

"There's a new Puella Magi? You're kidding." said Yuri, after I told her about the newcomer.

"I'm not kidding. Her name is Shirai Miku." I said. I and Yuri were having lunch outside school.

"I'd like to meet her." said Yuri.

"Anyways, how's Yumi-chan doing?" I asked.

"My parents are currently outside the town, but I'll leater tell them that I deceided that Yumi'll stay with me since her parents were killed by Gisela." said Yuri.

"It's sad. Especially for someone like Yumi-chan. She's pretty naive and childish." I said.

"She ain't the only one." I and Yuri heared a voice. Yukio apporached us.

"Really funny." I frowned.

"Hey, relax." he said as he put his arm around my shoulder. I calmed a bit down.

"Someone would think you two are a couple." Yuri snickered. I and Yukio swiftly got away from each other and glared at Yuri. She simply giggled.

Miku apporached a blonde haired boy with blue eyes, who was chuckling and speaking with some of his friends.

"Kalin?" she called out.

"Miku?" Kalin looked at the girl. "It's nice to see you again!"

The two hugged.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, have we?" said Kalin.

"Yes. I never thought I'd meet you here." said Miku. 'Actually, I did.'

She added as a thought.

"My father got a job in Akari City, here in Japan. That's why we had to move." said Kalin.

"Hey, Kalin, who's this?" asked a boy.

"This is my friend Shirai Miku. We met each other three years ago, when her family transfered to America." said Kalin.

"I was new and I couldn't understand anyone, nor anyone could understand me, but Kalin helped me. Two years leater, I had to move back to Japan." said Miku.

She remembered well how she and Kalin promised they'ed meet each other again someday. However, when she came back to America during a vacation from school, she heard that he moved and that no one remembers where his family moved too.

But thanks to Kyubey, she could finnaly tell him her secret.

Suddenly, it rung and Miku snapped out of her thoughts.

"I need to go to P.E. class. See ya." said Kalin. Miku sighed. It bothered her a bit they weren't in the same class.

Leater, after school was over Yuri, Yukio and I went to Yumi's school to pick her up.

"So, Yuri-chan. What should we do now?" asked Yumi.

"How about training?" Yuri suggested, looking at me. "I guess some training would help you to expand your ablities."

"Good idea." I said.

"Say, wouldn't it make your Soul Gem dim when you use magic?" asked Yukio. I lowered my head. I forgot that.

"He's right." I turned to Yuri. She rose an eyebrow, knowing too that Yukio was telling the truth.

"Maybe you should list your ablities and think about new ones. I could help you, since I'm connected to your wish." said Yukio. I blinked in surprise.

"Yuri, please slap me or something. I think I'm dreaming." I said. Too bad Yuri did exactly what I wanted. I felt my cheek burning and snapped at her. "I didn't mean it litteraly!"

Yuri snickered.

"Why are you so surprised?" asked Yukio. "First you complain that I won't help you and when I do, you complain again."

"It was unexpected." I replied.

"Seems like Yukio-kun likes Kaen-chan." said Yumi with a wide grin. I turned red. Yukio too.

Sherrie, who was sitting on a tall building, looked at her SG. She was in her Puella Magi uniform, roaming around the city for any new Witches or Familiars who could become Witches. The SG she held had the form of an orange circle with a sword piercing it. And it was darker then normaly. She put it back on her collarbone.

'This place... it's filled with Puella Magis. Too many for my taste.' she thought as she left.

Stella looked at the Witch she found today. The Witch, Arzt Kochen (Doctor Cooking) looked like a huge hypodermic needle. Forks were everywhere and came out of the Witch's body. The Witch had an Excessively devoted nature.

'After shoving anesthetic into the humans who enter her barrier, she cuts out their injured parts and completely cooks them. However, there are no humans who can endure this surgery. There is nothing that she can save. Weakness: Things that have no need for her. Her cries of 'pssh pssh' are the sound of her syringes and forks.'

The forks, her Familiars, attacked Stella, but she escaped them and jumped at the Witch.

"Cutting-Point Needles!" she shouted as she summoned her weapon. She then stroke down. "Return to zero!"

She then landed on the Witch, cutting her apart.

Stella threw back her hair and picked up her GS.

'It'll be enough for today.' she thought.

On the other side of the town was an another girl, Asuna, fighting against a Witch.

The Witch was humanoid with a whistle for a head and a circular cage for a dress. The witch had a smaller, rabbit-like form that hid inside of the outer shell's dress. She was called Ritterrüstung von Heulsuse (KnightArmor from Crybaby): The outer shell is a beastmaster, but the main body is a timid rabbit. She was a beast tamer type Witch with a coward nature.

Around her was a barrier, decorated with cages. Asuna had a problem with escaping the Familiars, small cats with mouths on their foreheads, as well as the Witch's whip.

Asuna jumped backwards and swiftly cut apart the whip. She then went to the Witch and tried to break through with her sword. She landed a few good hits until the Witch attacked back, summoning an another whip.

Asuna escaped it and faced the Familiars, who all attacked her. She speeded up and dodged them, so the Familiars hit the Witch. On the cage appeared cracks.

Asuna enlarged her blade and cut through the Witch.

She breathed deeply as she looked at the GS which floated down.

I looked at my list. There stood: Witch Analysing (Summon Analyzer), summoning illusions (Sakkaku), finisher purple energy sickle attack (Yami no Kizu), enchanced defensive powers.

"Shouldn't that mean I can summon Barriers?" I asked loudly. I, Yukio, Yumi and Yuri were in Yuri's room, working on the lists.

"Probably. You should try it." said Yuri.

Her list consisted of summoning sai's, even thousands of them, making them larger; summoning red thunders and her finnisher attack: Hateshiganai Yoarashi, or Eternal Night Storm. I added 'connection with Yukio' and looked over to Yumi's. On her stood 'making a large hammer'.

"Say, Yumi, don't you have more powers?" Yukio asked as he looked at Yumi's list.

"Not really, but I guess I'll have more." Yumi shrugged.

"Say, what was your wish?" asked Yuri.

"I wished not to be afraid of earthquakes anymore." said Yumi.

"That was your wish? How... Ouch!" Yukio glared at me as I stepped on his foot, before he could say something which would insult Yumi.

"Maybe you can create earthquakes. That would be cool." said Yuri. She then added one more note to her list. It read: using shadows (needs name).

"How do you mean using shadows?" I asked.

"Before my sister died, I could use shadows in my fights with Witches. It was my first movement, since shadows provide everything a ninja needs. It stopped after she commited suicide." said Yuri. "I never named it."

"I wonder why you couldn't use it anymore." I said.

'The answer is simple.' We all looked at Kyubey who suddenly appeared. 'Since Yuri negleced her wish subconsiciously because of her sister's death, she also refused the power she got with the wish.'

"But my sister's death was avanged. I guess I could try it again." said Yuri, determinated. "I'll name it Saya no Kage, to honour my sister."

Suddenly, we all snapped. Kyubey looked outside.

'A Witch's Barrier.' he said.

"Let's go!" I said as we all jumped on our feet.

xXx

After using force to enter the last lair, we finnaly faced the today's Witch.

"Summon Analyzer!" I exclaimed. The Digital screen appeared, showing the image of the Witch. She looked like a shooting gallery dummy, with target circles spiraling outward from her forehead. The forehead had a large hole that extended to the back of the head, like a bullet hole. Her arms were giant blades that were used like scissors, and she had no lower body or legs.

'Weiße Königin (White Queen). The witch of bullets, with a guilty nature. Because she feels like she's always being blamed for something, when someone enters her barrier, she eliminates them immediately.'

There were small target like Familiars hovering around.

"Cut!" the Witch shouted.

"I'm first!" Yumi exclaimed, making her hammer bigger. "Shudder of Earth!"

She slammed with her hammer at the ground, creating a yellow wave which hit the Familiars in front of the Witch. They all dissapeared.

"Welldone Yumi!" said Yuri. "Kaen and Yukio, you distract the Witch!"

"Cut!"

I and Yukio nodded. He whistled.

"Hey you dumb dummy! Try to get us!" he yelled. I sweatdropped.

The Witch fell for it and turned to us.

"Cut!"

"Saya no Kage!" Yuri said. A pit appeared beneath her and she dissapeared into it. Only a traveling circular shadow was seen.

She hovered towards us.

"Summon Barrier!" I exclaimed, summoning a purple barrier around me, Yukio and Yumi. The Witch used her scissor weapon to break through it.

Suddenly, Yuri emered from behind the Witch with a large sai and cut it apart.

"Cut!"

It was the Witch's last yell, before she dissapeared.
