Sorry I messed up something while I tried to update new chapters.

Entry 25: I Miss You

Sayo sighed as she entered her room. She stumbled down, having the feeling she couldn't bear this anymore. It was too much for her. First Yumi and then Asuna. Both were innocent and just tried to help other people.

Sayo felt that she too won't hold on anymore. Yet, there was someone in her life who gave her the strenght to keep on.

Her father.

Sayo stood up and looked around the house, searching for her father. She only found a note.

'I'm busy all night so don't go to sleep too late.'

Sayo sighed. She needed someone to talk to. She felt like she'd lose her mind. She threw the note into the bin and walked out of the house. It was cloudy today and it sure would rain again, but Sayo didn't bother to bring an umbrella. It's not like she would die.

'Mom, I miss you.'

Miku gripped her pillow, crying.

"It's not fair! Why am I being punished?" she asked. She didn't do anything wrong. She just wanted to find her friend and tell him about her feelings. But now she felt like she couldn't do that either.

Still, Miku had hope. Kalin was her friend. He would understand it. At least, she hoped so.

Miku noticed that her blue-golden Soul Gem dimmed. She needed a Grief Seed. Miku stood up and exited her house through the window since her parents were already sleeping.

She decied that tommorow, she'll confess her feelings to Kalin.

Sayo noticed a figure in the darkness, and was surprised as she saw Miku.

"What are you doing here?" asked Sayo.

"Witch hunting. I need a Grief Seed." Miku replied.

"Me too." said Sayo. "Once we find one we'll share it."

Miku nodded.

It didn't take long for them to find a Barrier with Miku's ablitiy to locate Witches. However, when they saw the Familiars, they were surprised.

"They all look like Kyubey." said Sayo.

They looked like stuffed toys in form of Kyubey, with a huge head. They were the needle witch's familiars, whose duty is to be charming. The witch's handcrafted costume mascots that people can't help but love. They're so excessively adorable that it's impossible to point a blade at them.

"They're so cute!" said Miku.

"Yes, they're adorable!" added Sayo, totally forgeting why they were here.

The Familiars encircled them, yet both girls couldn't point a blade at them.

Suddenly, several sais came flying and hit the Familiars. Miku and Sayo woke up from their transe state and saw Yuri looking at them.

"What are you doing? You must fight!" she said with a strict and firm tone. Sayo shook her head to clear her mind.

"She's right." she said. Miku nodded and they turned at the Familiars.

Yuri, Sayo and Miku summoned multiple sais/daggers/arrows and fired them at the Familiars. Their combined effort brought them to the Witch's lair.

"That's the Witch." said Miku as she looked at her locator. "She's Quitterie (Disguise Form); the Witch of needles, with a respectful nature. She is the remains of a magical girl who gave up everything to fight for the universe. She believes that she is saving the universe even now."

"Sadly, she's wrong." said Yuri. The Witch was humanoid with a Kyubey head and wore a black coat.

She then charged up for an attack and the girls saw a humanoid silhouette in front of her. They speculated this was her Puella Magi form.

"Watch out!" Sayo yelled as the Witch fired several blasts at them. The three dodged the attacks and Yuri rushed over to the Witch.

"I won't die from a QB imitator!" she hissed and stroke with her sai at the Witch. However, one of the minions appeared, protecting the Witch. Yuri had to kill the minion, but two more appeared. She quickly killed them with a precise stab, as suddenly one appeared behind her.

"No you won't!" Sayo yelled and cut the Familiar apart.

Miku meanwhile escaped a blast from the Witch. She then prepeared to fire her arrow.

"And go!" she fired it at the Witch, Quitterie charged up and attack to dodge the arrow, but the arrow suddenly vanished. It curved and appeared behind Quitterie, piercing through her back. Upon her death, the Witch fell over backwards. The Kyubey head fell off, and Miku saw the Witch's Real Form. She looked like a puppet with needles.

"It's over." Miku sighed in relief. She picked up the Grief Seed and turned to Sayo and Yuri.

"No, thanks." Yuri shook her head. "You're still a begginer so you'll need it more then we do."

Miku looked at Sayo. She shook her head too. Miku then looked at the Grief Seed and placed it next to her Soul Gem.

The darkness was absorbed, leaving it bright again.
