When Kyoko came back inside Madoka had been sentenced to watching rather than playing, and despite not being able to see very well, Homura was rather spectacularly beating Mami.

The two looked rather focused, Homura moving this way and that as if she were the car and Mami fiddling with the controller and letting a few hilariously censored "curses" slip through.

The redhead sat down next to Madoka, pulling the girl into her lap as Mami let out a devastated cry of "Pickle snickets!" Both of them laughed and Kyoko rested her head on top of Madoka's.

"Has Sayaka always been so flippin' stubborn?" she sighed and the pinkette smiled.

"Mhmm," she hummed and the other two paused their game to listen. "Sayaka's always been determined to help others, and she gets so wrapped up in it she doesn't get help for herself when she needs it."

"It sounds like she just really loves you guys," Homura started and the others all turned to her. "She doesn't want to worry any of you so she doesn't tell you what bothering her. She seems focused on being there for you guys to lean on that she doesn't think she deserves to lean on someone else," she smiled and the other three all blinked at the small insight. "Rather admirable that's she loves you that much really."

Kyoko let out a puff of air before carefully lifting Madoka off of her, suddenly standing up and grinning. "I'm gonna go wait for Blueberry!" she nodded triumphantly and ran off to grab her sneakers.

On the way to the back door the phone started ringing so she froze to grab it, nearly dropping it when she heard scared sniffling on the other end.

"Hey?" she muttered, not knowing what to say in the slightest.

"Kyoko?" the person on the other end mumbled and the redhead immediately recognized them.

"Yeah it's me, Sayaka, what's wrong?" she straightened up and the others froze. She bit her lip when the sniffling continued.

"I... I wasn't paying attention and I got off on the wrong stop and I ended up in Kazamino and I have no idea where I am," the blue-haired girl shivered and Kyoko looked to the others for a minute before speaking again.

"Hey don't worry, we'll come get you okay?"

"Okay,"

"One more thing, can you see a big kinda mossy church anywhere?" the redhead bit her lip and out of the corner of her eye saw Mami turn towards her.

"Y-yeah, why?" Sayaka mumbled and Kyoko just smiled.

"If you can, wait around there, that way I'll know where you are when we get there!" she grinned and quickly exchanged a "goodbye and stay safe" with the girl before turning to the others. They all looked at her questioningly as she grabbed both her faded green hoodie and a slightly smaller red one. "Get your bus money guys, we're going on a little rescue mission."

As the four of them climbed to the top of the bus, Homura noticed Kyoko holding rather tightly to a small golden, key like charm with a red gem in the middle, whispering something under her breath. The raven-haired girl heard only the word "Dad" before the redhead stopped and looked out onto the road.

Madoka was pacing back and forth, one hand covering her mouth and the other fiddling with one of her pigtails. Mami was sitting next to Homura, sighing worriedly every few seconds and muttering about "that stupid girl," every now and then.

Homura herself was fairly worried, although not having known Sayaka nearly as long as the others she was beginning to get terribly anxious herself. She hated seeing others worried, it made her chest hurt and her lungs seize up. She supposed it was just a side effect of unnoticed hyperventilating but she was never really sure.

"Right guys, we're here," Kyoko swallowed her worry down and hopping down the stairs, breaking into a run without waiting for the others. Mami and Madoka looked to each other, then to Homura, and both ran after Kyoko; leaving the raven-haired girl to bite her lip and chase after them.

She knew she shouldn't be doing this but she forced both that thought and light-headedness quickly spreading throughout her body away and sped up.
