Entry 22: How long will I continue to be unlucky for?

Sachi noticed that Asuna was quietter then usual as they watched TV.

"Onee-san, what is it?" asked Sachi.

"Nothing." Asuna tighted the grip around her SG.

"But..." Sachi didn't want to give up.

"I said I'm fine!" Asuna yelled at her. She then gulped as she noticed the fear in Sachi's eyes. She countined with a quietter tone. "I need some fresh air."

With that said, she walked out.

I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to walk out a bit, catch some fresh air.

"Where are you going?" asked Yukio as he saw me in the hallway.

"I need some fresh air. I won't be out too long." I said.

"Okay." he said. He was worried.

Miku cried. How could she look Kalin in the eye after what she found out about the consequences of her wish. Though, there migh've been some hope. Maybe he'll be happy that she's a Puella Magi. Maybe he'll see her as a heroine.

Miku hoped so. She dried her tears and went out for a hunt.

I sensed a Witch. She was near and I followed the signal. Despite everything, I needed that Grief Seed. The Grief Seeds were the only things which could save me and the other Puella Magis.

I finally found the barrier. It was near the school and I saw Miku and Asuna there too.

"So, are we going on a hunt?" I asked bitterly.

"Apperantly." said Miku. "We need the Grief Seeds."

Asuna nodded and we entered the barrier, transforming into our Puella Magi selves.

We found ourselves in a barrier, on a platform, that looked like the sky. On it was the line: It's raining again today. How long will I continue to be unlucky for?

"Poor girl." I muttered. The Barrier was covered in threads, with marine T-shirts hanging on them and on the threads were the lower parts of girl bodies skating. I guessed the Familiars were girls since they wore skirts.

"Summon Analyzer."

'Mathieu. The class representative witch's minions. Their role is to be her classmates. Although the skates on their feet allow them to glide gracefully along the threads, all of them are actually controlled by the witch using her threads, and they have no will of their own.'

I then looked at the Witch which was a body out of which came out hands holding threads. She wore a black school uniform with a red tie.

'Patricia. The class representative witch. Her nature is to remain an onlooker. Using the spiderlike threads which she vomits forth, she created a school for herself alone within the sky of her barrier and endlessly acts out an ordinary daily student life there. If you ring the going-home bell, this witch will likely return to her house somewhere.'

"I don't like this." Miku gulped as she realized there was no earth beneath us.

"We need to run on the threads to reach the Witch." I said.

"I won't go there. I'll fall!" said Miku, protesting.

"Miku, we need your help." said Asuna. Miku shook her head.

"I have an idea. Sakkaku!" I summoned purple ribbons, binding them to a path to the next platform.

"But, the ribbons are an illusion. They will disapear." said Miku.

"No, they won't, if you believe they ain't an illusion." I replied.

"Okay." Miku nodded. She then runned on the ribbons, but fell and started to crawl.

I and Asuna confronted the Familiars, cutting them down.

"Kaen, you and Miku take on the Witch, since you can use long distance attacks." said Asuna. I nodded.

"'Kay!"

I held my balance as I came near Miku. She managed to jump on the nearest platform.

"One more platform and the Witch'll be in my shooting range." she said. I nodded and summoned a few more ribbons.

I then took on the Familiars.

"Hikari no Kizu!" I send energy sickles at them cutting them apart. Asuna soon joined me and we stood back to back slicing through the Familiars.

"Help!"

We turned to Miku, who was surprised by a Familiar and fell from the ribbon pathway. She held on the thread as more Familiars closed in.

"Hikari no Kizu!" I sent more sickles towards the Familiars, cutting them. "Sakkaku!"

Ribbons appeared, getting tied beneath Miku. She let the thread on which she held go and fell on the ribbons.

"Thanks!" she yelled and runned to the edge of the path, turning to the Witch. She summoned several blue energy arrows and fired them at the Witch. The arrow rain spilled on the Witch, yet she didn't die.

"Damnit!" Miku hissed, creating a new, more powerful arrow. "Die already!"

She then noticed the Familiars behind her and gritted her teeth. She then jumped on the nearest thread, holding her balance and turning to the Witch.

"And go!"

She fired the arrow which pierced through the Witch, killing it.

Suddenly, it got dark and started to rain heavily. We all startled as there was the sound of an aircraft crashing.

"What was that?" Miku apporached us, holding the Grief Seed, after the barrier dissapeared. On the top was a cherry blossom, while the bottom looked like spider eyes.

"I have no idea." I said. Miku used the Grief Seed on her Soul Gem, partially cleaning it. She gave it to me so I could clean mine too. I wanted to give it to Asuna, but she shook her head.

"I don't need it."

With that said, she left.
