Entry 16: Power of Light

I startled as I looked at my school uniform. Reika laughed.

"Guess Kaen had an 'event'." she laughed, along with other students, pointing at my wet T-shirt on which she spilled her juice. I glared at her, but that made them laugh harder.

I runned away. I runned towards the girl's bathroom, where I finnaly started to cry. I had enough of it. Reika was particualry devious these few days and did everything to make me lock up in the toliet and cry for the rest of the day.

'I can't stand this anymore!' I thought.

'Kaen, what happened?' I hared Yukio's voice. In the last few days, he became nicer towards me and I was happy about that. Yet, I didn't tell him what made my cry the whole day.

'Kaen, tell me now, what happened?' his voice was firm and strict.

'N-nothing.' I replied.

'Kaen, if you don't tell me what's bothering you, I can't help you.' he said.

'Like you would care.'

'I do care. At least about you.'

'Well, thanks.' I replied bitterly. 'But I'm fine.'

'No you're not.'

"LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!" I finnaly yelled. There was no reply.

I startled.

Did I really told him to leave?

Yuri observed Miku. She was hanging out with a guy called Kalin and she seemed to be very attached to him. Perhaps, in love with him?

"Hey!" Yuri called out as she walked over to Miku. Miku looked at her, confused.

"You're a senpai." she said, wondering what the girl wanted from her. Usually, the higher class students didn't hang out with the lower class students.

"You're Shirai Miku, right?" asked Yuri.

"Yes I am." Miku nodded.

"I need to talk with you. Alone." said Yuri. Miku turned to Kalin. Yuri noticed the ring on her finger.

"I'll be soon back." she told him.

"Okay. See ya." Kalin said and walked away. Miku turned to Yuri.

"So, what is it?" she asked.

"What was your wish?" asked Yuri. Miku blinked in confusion.

"How do you mean it?" she asked.

"You're a Puella Magi." said Yuri, showing Miku her ring with the red gem. "Just like me."

"So what?" Miku frowned as she looked at Yuri. "I wished to find Kalin and confess my feelings to him. And if you think you can take him away from me you're wrong!"

"Am I?" Yuri whispered. She knew the girl made a mistake. "So, did it work, did you confessed your feelings?"

Miku startled.

"Umm, I'm waiting for the right moment." she said. She had confidence, but lacked the courage.

"I hope you won't get dissapointed." said Yuri and walked away. Miku frowned.

"What is she talking about?" she muttered under her breath.

After school was over, I met up with Yuri. Yukio was nowhere to be seen.

"Bad day, huh?" Yuri looked at me.

"Don't ask." I replied.

"Yuri-chan, Kaen-chan!" we heared some yells. Yumi was running towards us.

"Hey Yumi, calm down. What is it?" Yuri looked at the younger girl.

"I found a portal." she said.

"A Witch?" I asked. She nodded.

"Where?" Yuri asked.

"At the old mansion. I didn't want to enter it without you two." said Yumi.

"You made the right desicion." said Yuri.

"Where's Yukio-kun?" asked Yumi. I looked away.

"Kaen?" I heared Yuri's voice.

"He won't come." I said. "Let's go!"

Yukio was walking around the town, with Kaen's last words echoing in his mind.

'Leave me alone already!'

'She's kidding.' thought Yukio. 'She gave me a ticket for my freedom.'

Despite the fact he wanted to leave, he couldn't. Not now. There were still other things which bothered him. Also, he liked her (somewhat).

'I'll take this as an out of blue desicion. That means I still have to stay with her until she's 100% sure about this.'

Due their connection, Yukio felt where Kaen was and went into that direction.

I, Yuri and Yumi were in a barrier that looked like the night sky. Yumi was amazed.

"This is so pretty!" she exclaimed.

"It won't be pretty once the Familiars start to attack." said Yuri. The stars on the sky suddenly projected dark creatures which looked like a cat's body with a star shaped head. They were dancing repetitively. And they were huge.

"Summon Analyzer!" I exclaimed.

'Ulla. The dark witch's minion whose duty is to dream. She can shapeshift into anything to express her witch's desires in pitch-black darkness. She boasts incredible power in the dark, but something as small as a lamppost or moonbeam can halve her strength.'

"This is what I call Power of Darkness." said Yuri.

"I guess we'd need the Power of Light." I said. "Sakkaku!"

I summoned a moon on the sky. The Ullas started to lose their height.

"Attack them now!" I gave a command.

Yuri summoned several red thunders which destroyed the Ulla's. Yumi enlarged her hammer and slammed with it at the Familiars, creating an earthquake which ripped the floor and swallowed the Familiars.

We countined, until the moon I summoned started to flicker. It then dissapeared.

"What happened?" asked Yuri.

"I'm not sure, but it dosen't look good." I replied. I was exhausted. Yet, we countined fighting.

Finnaly, Yumi found a door which lead us to the Witch's lair.

The Witch, the only entity in this room, was a star shaped being with many arms coming out of her body.

"Summon Analyzer!"

I looked at the digital screen, giving a sight.

'Suleika. The dark witch, with a delusional nature. Her power grows as the darkness deepens. In total darkness she can scarcely be matched. She's almost unrivaled inside an absolute black; however, with lights as numerous as they are nowadays, she is not a witch to be feared.'

In the room was no light and my SG was already darking rapidly.

"Shudder of Earth!" Yumi sent a wave of energy at the Witch. However, it had no use. This one was really strong.

Yuri summoned a few thunders, lighting up the place. She hit the Witch, but Suleika didn't show any injury.

"Kaen, you need to use your powers and call some light." Yuri told me.

I gripped my SG on my choker and gulped.

"Sakkaku." I whispered the word, illusion, trying to call the sun. Instead, I called only a few beams of light which soon dissapeared.

"I can't. She's too strong." I whispered. This was the Witch of delusions. My illusion powers didn't work here.

Suddenly, the Witch sent dark beams at us. We managed to escape them, but I got hit by the impact the beams made once they hit the earth.

Suddenly, a dark hole opened beneath me and swallowed me.

"Kaen!" Yuri yelled in horror. Yumi was also startled. Suddenly, a swift figure passed them and jumped into the hole.

'It's over.' I thought as I fell downwards. 'There's nothing I can do.'

"Oh, yes you can!"

I opened my eyes widely and saw Yukio taking my hand. The thing which surprised me was the fact he had wings. Black angelic wings, with golden-red edges. We hovered in mid air.

"I thought you're gone!" I said.

"Heck, your desicion was made out of blue. How am I supposed to know did you mean it for real?" he replied with a frown. Yet, there was a sign of a smile. "Now, com'n, let's beat that Witch!"

"Okay." I nodded. I felt a sharp pain in my back. To my surprise, I grew purple-black angelic wings too. I blinked in surprise. "I didn't expect that to happen."

"Seems like your wish gave you some connection to my powers." said Yukio.

We flew out of the hole, much to the surprise of Yuri and Yumi. Suleika's hands darted towards us. I rose my hand and in it appeared a blinding orb of light. I held it above everyone, so it illuminated the place. It was so bright, so warm...

Suleika withdrawed.

"This is our chance!" yelled Yukio.

"Okay."

Yuri and Yumi nodded and Yuri summoned red thunders, while Yumi sent a wave of energy at Suleika. The Witch was hit by the attack. Yukio summoned a sword and rushed over to it, slicing it in half.

The Witch vanished.

"This was unbelievable!" exclaimed Yumi. Yuri picked up the Grief Seed.

"Ineed it was." I said, with a smile. We all detransformed as the Barrier vanished. I looked at Yukio.

'Thanks. You're not so bad for a demon.'

He smiled back.

'I'll take that as a compliment.'

"If you two start kissing I'm gonna puke." said Yumi. I and Yukio made an animefall.

The day faded in laughter.
