Chapter 8

-A Message From Kyubey-

I'd like you to remember, future magical girl, that even when it seems like it's a sunny day, a storm could come.

-End Message-

"The cruise? It was wonderful! There was this boy, who played the guitar amazingly. Ahhh, I get shivers thinking about it! When I asked his name he just played more. He was so mysterious."

"Interesting story, Hitomi-san." Sayaka lied. She liked Hitomi, but her stories were another thing.

"Oh, but the boy was a relative of Kamijou-kun." Hitomi said cheerfully.

"Oh, t-that's nice." Sayaka mumbled. Last night she killed Kyousuke in Minecraft. Actually she killed him 20 times.

Good morning, Hitomi.

"Kyubey? Hitomi can't hear you. She's not a magical girl." Sayaka thought, unless…

"Good morning, Kyubey-san." The pleasant voice of Hitomi echoed through Sayaka's head.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Sayaka-san."

"What did you wish for? You're rich! You can buy things."

"C-calm down S-Sayaka-chan," said a very concerned Madoka.

"That's top secret, sorry guys!"

OuuO

"Nakazawa-kun, what is the correct way to cook rice?!"

"U-um, any way is fine."

"Nakazawa-kun isn't very lucky! He always has to answer Sensei's weird questions!" Sayaka snickered to her pink-haired friend, in a hushed tone.

Madoka giggled. She hadn't seen any weird creatures around lately. Well, except for Kyubey. It finally seemed peaceful in Mitakihara.

OuuO

"You took care of that one pretty fast, Hitomi-san!"

Sayaka and Hitomi had just defeated the Class- Representative Witch, Patricia. Hitomi did most of the work, though.

"Yeah, I might not need your help anymore!" Hitomi said sounding slightly rude.

Sayaka was concerned. It had been at least a week since Hitomi turned into a Puella Magi, but she seemed a little… off. The normally gentle and lady-like Hitomi had turned a little bit too self-confidant.

"Are you having a good time, girls?" A dainty voice was heard, almost drifting through the breeze.

"Mami! I haven't seen you in a while!"

"You must have grown, Miki-san. Anyway who's your friend?" Mami asked pointing towards Hitomi.

Before Sayaka could answer, the new Puella Magi declared, "My name is Hitomi!"

"Ah, I see then. How does your gown not get in the way?"

Hitomi looked down at her light green bride-like gown. It had dark green bows and on her head was a crown of flowers. Her soul gem was an earing.

"And another thing, how do you not lose your soul gem?" Mami said jokingly.

Hitomi looked rather miffed and grumbled, "How do you do your hair?"

"Hahahaha, don't worry Hitomi-san. Just a little joke between fellow Puella Magis!"

"Yeah, Hitomi. Don't look so upset." Sayaka said adding to Mami's previous statement.

OuuO

"Hitomi! Where have you been?! You missed your tea ceremony! Stand straighter and for heavens sake take a bath, you look dirty!" Her mother scolded her.

Hitomi forgot about all that stuff. She was a Puella Magi now; she had better things to do than go to a stupid tea ceremony anyway.

"You can't control me. I have better things to do." Hitomi angrily yelled.

"Hitomi!" her mother slapped her across the face, "I didn't raise you like this! While we're on the topic, your grades have been falling! Go to your room, young lady!"

Hitomi sat on her bed looking at her green soul gem. It was a deep green, it seemed like you could dive right in it. That's what she wished she could do. Escape from this corrupted world, and start anew. Hitomi sighed and looked out the window.

Maybe, just maybe, she could unfasten the hinges and-
