Entry 14: I'm my sister's guardian

Yukio was walking through the streets of Akari City. He seemed to be somewhat exhausted. He hated his guardian job. He wasn't a guardian, he was a demon. And demons don't protect people. Especially not those of his ranking. Yet, it confused him that Kaen, despite all those years of torment, didn't torture him. The only thing she did was making him her guardian, and that only mildly annoyed him. He sometimes wondered if she's a bit loca. Wierd, sure, that was already proved.

He then noticed Asuna, who followed her sister, Sachi. They were going to the park.

"Hey." he greeted the girl. Asuna blinked in surprise, since she didn't expect to see him.

"Hi." she said shyly.

"Onee-san, com'n. I can't wait to get to the park." Sachi pulled her sister's hand.

"Okay, okay." Asuna smiled and looked at Yukio. "Are you coming with us?"

"Why not?" Yukio shrugged. He anyways hadn't anything better to do.

Leater, at the park, the two were sitting on the bench looking at Sachi who was playing.

"So, how is Kaen doing?" asked Asuna.

"She's fine. She was asleep when I left." said Yukio.

"She said you were the reason of her wish. That must mean she really likes you." said Asuna. Yukio hmpfed.

"Yeah, sure. This is only a revenge act for the years of torture." he said.

"Oh..." Asuna looked away.

"Hey, Asuna..." Asuna rose her head and looked at Yukio. "What was your wish?"

"Why are you asking?" she wondered.

"Just been curious..." he replied. Asuna lowered her head.

"You see, three years ago, my family got into a car crash and my sister lost the ability to walk. Since I didn't have any friends because of my shyness, my sister was everything to me. So, I wished for her to walk again." said Asuna.

"I don't get it. Why do humans try to be selfless when at the end it will bring them only sorrow?" asked Yukio.

"How do you mean it?" asked Asuna.

"Well, let's take your sister for an example. You wished for her to walk again, but in one or two days, what do I know, a car could hit her again and kill her. That's what I meant." said Yukio. Asuna frowned.

"That will never happen! I'm my sister's guardian, and I won't let her get hurt!" she yelled at him angrily.

"Wonder how long." Yukio smirked slily. Asuna was speachless. "Humans are really fragile beings. You and the others won't stand the pressure long."

"Why are you talking in such manner?" asked Asuna.

"Coz I'm not a human, I'm a demon. Believe me, I saw such things many times. Heroic sacrifices will be soon forgotten. Say, does your sister know about your sacrisfice?" he asked. Asuna gulped, becoming again the shy-girl-self.

"She dosen't." she said.

"There you go." said Yukio victoriously.

"Still, I know I did the right thing. That's enough to keep my moral high." said Asuna. Yukio frowned. Asuna then looked over to Sachi.

However, she wasn't there.

"Sachi? Sachi-chan!" she called out. She looked around.

"I can't find her." she said.

"Your ring is glowing." said Yukio, pointing at her hand. On it was the ring formed Soul Gem. And it glew.

"You mean, here's a Witch? Oh no!" Asuna gulped.

Sachi looked at the paintings on the walls. She was inside the Witch's lair. The sky looked like a Van Gogh painting in orange and white. Around her were stone monuments and incredibly large memorieals. The ground was ash-gray and white.

Around her were some strange creatures, Familiars which looked like some white ghosts, resembling Picasso's Guernica. In front of Sachi was the Witch which looked like the Arc de Triomphe.

"YOU LIKE MY ARTWORKS? YOU LIKE MY ARTWORKS? YOU LIKE MY ARTWORKS?..."

A deep voice echoed through the lair. Sachi gulped.

"THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL, THEY'RE BAUTIFUL, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL...AIN'T THEY? AIN'T THEY?!"

"Y-yes." Sachi shuddered.

"OF COURSE THEY ARE! OF COURSE THEY ARE! THEY'RE ALL MINE! MINE EXISTANCE IS BLESSED!"

Sachi gulped. She was once at a museum and she already saw those paintings.

"YOU LIKE THIS ONE? YOU LIKE THIS ONE? TELL ME!"

The Witch showed a picture of Van Goghs Sunflowers.

"I-I like it, but it's not yours. It's Van Goghs..." she whispered nervously.

"NO IT'S MINE!" The Witch screeched.

Sachi startled.

"Sachi!" she heared someone calling for her. She turned around and saw her sister and Yukio fighting off some Familiars.

"Onee-chan!" Sachi called out, but got caught by one of the Familiars.

"YOU'LL BECOME A PIECE OF MY ARTWORK!" she heared the Witch talking.

"No!" Sachi yelled.

"Sachi!" Asuna cut down a Familiar and turned to the one which held her sister. "Let her go!"

She cut apart that Familiar too. She then turned to her sister, who was crying.

"I want to go home..." Sachi said.

"We'll go home, don't worry. But we need to kill this Witch." said Asuna. However, this wasn't possible since they got encircled by Familiars.

'Damnit, Kaen, where are you?!' though Yukio.

"KAEN!"

I woke up out of sudden. It was like Yukio was calling me. Though, I didn't understand. Maybe it had something to do with our bond.

'Kaen, there's a Witch.' said Kyubey, sitting on the open window.

"I know." I said. I rushed out of my apartment and saw Stella, who was going home from her ballet practise.

"A Witch appeared." I told her. She nodded, with a firm expression on her face.

Yukio summoned a sword which glew in a dark aura and he and Asuna cut down the Familiars. However, they kept apporaching and Asuna felt that her Soul Gem is slowly darkening.

'I need to hold on. A bit longer!' she thought.

"YOU ALL WILL BECOME PARTS OF MY ARTWORKS!" said the Witch. The three looked closer at the statues. They were made of human limbs.

Asuna startled while Sachi screamed. Her Soul Gem reached a critic point.

"Yami no Kizu!"

The blast destroyed the Familiars in front of them.

"Summon Barrier!"

I and Stella jumped into the circle made by the Familiars and I created a protective barrier which held off the Familiars.

"Where have you been?!" Yukio yelled at me.

"Sorry." I shrugged and turned to the Familiars and the Witch. "Summon Analyzer!"

'Michaela. The artist witch's minion. Her role is to be a piece of artwork. Any human that has been killed by this witch will have their body parts placed within this familiar.'

'Izabel. The artist witch. Her nature is vanity. Without a slightest doubt, she believes her existence is blessed. Wanting someone to see her work, she often interferes with human world. However within her barrier only exist works that you have probably seen somewhere before. To defeat this witch, just bring a well-known critic with you.'

"Great, the only problem is, we don't have a well known critic." Yukio complained.

"I'll distract the minions. You two kill the Witch. Asuna, you two get out of here. Hurry!" Stella gave us firm commands.

Asuna nodded. Her SG shone and she and her sister got out of the barrier.

"Cutting-Point Needles!" Stella jumped out of the protective barrier and swiftly twirled, killing the Michaelas.

I and Yukio got also out of the barrier and faced Izabel.

"How are we supposed to beat her?" he asked.

"You distract her. I'll try to slice her in half." I replied.

"And how?" asked Yukio.

"You do the best thing you can: bad-mouth her and her paintings." I replied and runned around, appearing behind the Witch.

"Alright." Yukio shrugged. "Hey, Izabel! Your paintings suck! They're totally out!"

"HOW DARE YOU?!" The Witch screeched.

"I already saw them in a museum. Yours are bad copies, nothing but trash!" said Yukio.

While Yukio distracted the Witch, I pondered how to beat her. She was made of stone, so it would be hard.

'Kaen, hurry!' I heared a hiss of Yukio's voice in my head.

'I'm working on it!' I replied.

'Work faster!'

I sighed. If all the other Puella Magis could make their weapons larger, then I could do it too, right?

The katana in my hands glew and became larger. It was almost the same height as I was. The blade was wider then the lower part of my arm.

"Alright!" I jumped high, appearing over Izabel. "Yami no Kizu!"

The blade shone in a purple aura, but didn't release any energy sickle. Instead, it tore through the Witch, slicing her in half.

The Witch screamed and exploded, dissapearing. The Familiars also vanished and the barrier slowly flickered.

I walked over to the Grief Seed. It had a sort of arc on the bottom and on the top was a cup. The barrier then vanished.

"This was close, don't you think guys?" I said. I had a wide smile on my face.

"Congratulations on defeading the Witch." said Stella. We got apporached by Asuna and Sachi.

"Congratulations." she said.

"Are you two alright?" I asked.

"Sachi is, but I..." Asuna showed her SG. It was very dark, almost black. There were some golden spots though. I gave her Izabel's Grief Seed.

"Here, you'll need it more then I do." I said. She got red, being surprised.

"Thanks." she whispered, using the GS on her SG. The darkness on the Soul Gem vanished.

"Thanks to you too Stella." I told her. She nodded.

"Let's go home!" said Sachi. "Asuna-chan, you have to explain me what happened."

"Okay." said Asuna and smiled.

We bid goodbye to each other and went to our homes. Yukio seemed to be lost in his thoughts.

"I don't think I'll ever understand the human race and their needs for sacrisfice." he said.

"Of course you don't understand it. I doubt you ever had someone you liked and wanted to do everything to protect the person." I said. "Still, sacrisifices are important. Everyone makes them. There's no other way to achieve a goal."

"You're speaking of protection. Why did you want me to protect you? I mean, there are thousands of other wishes you could make. Yet you wasted yours on me. Why?" Yukio asked. I smiled.

"You'll understand it. Some time." I said. I gave then a mischievous smile and runned away. "Com'n!"

Yukio looked at the girl. For some reason, there was a tiny little spark, a feeling inside of him.

He somewhat liked Kaen.
