Chapter 3

Before they managed to start, the thing blew up!

"I can't believe my first witch battle was so weak!" Sayaka said

"Normally witches do not blow up." Mami thought confused.

The only Puella Magi I know that uses explosives is- Kyubey was soon cut off by a grenade exploding him to pieces.

"You've said enough, Incubator." Out from the shadows came Homura.

"H-Homura-chan, why did you kill Kyubey?" Madoka felt intimidated by the girl.

Homura leered down at her. "He was a filthy Incubator. This will only put him out long enough for me to tell you that-"

Mami put her gun up to the head of Homura. "I think that's enough, Akemi-san.

-A Message from Kyubey-

Akemi Homura is an irregularity, that's for sure. But even she cannot kill me. Won't you become a magical girl? Just make a contract and I'll grant your wish!

-End Message-

"Idiot, you don't know what that monster is capable of." Homura glared at Mami. "Well, I'm done here. Kaname Madoka," Madoka froze hearing Homura. "Don't become a magical girl, I won't allow you to." With that she flipped her hair and left.

"Don't pay attention to her, she's probably one of those competitive magical girls! Anyway I'll protect you." Sayaka grinned at Madoka.

That's good, Sayaka.

"Eh, K-Kyubey you're alive! Are you a z-z-zombie?" Madoka inched away from him.

No, don't worry. That was one of my many copies. Well, can't let this go to waste. Then he went to the old body and began to devour it.

"G-gross" Sayaka muttered.

Homura walked into the park hoping to find Kyubey.

Were you looking for me, Homura? Shocked by his voice she jumped, barely.

"I don't want you going near Madoka. Ever."

You seem like an over-protective parent. You're so possessive.

"You wouldn't understand. After all," She paused, "I do everything for her."

A-Akemi Homura did you- Before he could finish he had more holes than Swiss cheese.

"Miki-san, what were the conditions of the wish?" They were at Mamis' house at the moment, resting and replenishing their magic.

"Well, I barely had time to think so it's kind of a weird one." Sayaka blushed before continuing, "I wished that I could be by my friends side, like I wasn't for Kyousuke."

"S-Sayaka-chan." Madoka was nervous that her friend still thought it was her fault.

"Well, Miki-san that explains how you got over to me so quickly." Mami said. Sayaka beamed with confidence that the veteran complimented her abilities. Madoka wanted to make a wish and help people, just like her friends but she feared she was too weak and would be a terrible addition to the team. Also Homura seemed extremely worried about her becoming a magical girl. She was so determined to convince her to not become one.

The next day at school Hitomi couldn't be found at all. "She might have skipped" and "Why isn't Hitomi-san here" were floating around in the classroom. "Settle down, class." The words of the teacher quieted the whole class. It was so quiet you could hear Kyubey walk across the floor. Their teacher talked about her relationship problems, as usual, and the day went by calmly and normally.

But, when Madoka and Sayaka left they saw strange 'clouds' with mustaches. It would make normal people laugh or do a double take, but Sayaka knew that those weren't just a joke. They were familiars. "Ah, Hitomi-chan!" Madoka pointed to the girl, "But she seems dazed, like she's sleep walking." Sayaka, do you see that on her neck.

That's a witches kiss. That may have control on your friend!

"Alright then! I'll transform." Sayaka had on her magical girl attire within a few moments.

Sayaka and Madoka followed Hitomi. She was heading for the roof! "No, don't do it Hitomi-chan!" Madoka called out hoping to gain the attention of her friend.

"Oh, Kaname-san you interrupted me!" With that said she walked over to Madoka and hit her in the stomach.

"Hey! What the crap are you doing?!" Sayaka yelled angrily. Sayaka had to think for a moment, she didn't want to hurt Hitomi, but couldn't leave Madoka. But Hitomi is almost under a spell! She won't remember this probably. Sayaka teleported (using the ability she gained from her wish) and knocked Hitomi out. "Madoka, watch Hitomi while I fight this thing!" Sayaka ran into the building.

"Wait Sayaka-chan!"
