A/N: This chapter was fun for me to write. Honey Lemons one of my favorite characters so it was nice to write from her perspective.

Chapter three

Honey Lemon stared at herself in the mirror wanting to make sure she looked absolutely perfect. It was a Saturday and today was her designated day to see him. She had to make sure she looked her best.

After everything that happened lately she needed this. She smiled to herself as she pictured the look on his face if she told him. He would flip.

Grabbing her things Honey Lemon made her way downstairs and out towards her destination. She waved goodbye to the empty household as she left. Both of her parents worked extensively and as a result Honey barely saw them. She didn't mind really, even if it did get a little lonely.

It was a beautiful spring morning as Honey Lemon walked along the street. She didn't own a car so she mostly walked everywhere. She didn't mind, it was good exercise and she enjoyed the quiet with her thoughts being her only companion.

The woman smiled at her as she walked into the hospital and Honey Lemon smiled back. Most everyone knew her here and appreciated the young girl's sunny disposition.

Honey Lemon gently pushed open the door to her destination and smiled softly at the figure lying in the hospital bed. She walked over to the single chair in the room, one she had occupied so many times before, and sat down.

"Hi Fred, how are you doing? Sorry I'm late today."

Fred didn't respond and Honey faltered. She didn't know why she expected any different. He was in a coma but they said coma patients can hear you right? Honey desperately hoped they were right.

"Oh! I almost forgot. I brought you another comic today. I saw it and knew you'd love it. It's got robots in it! You want me to read it to you?"

Honey paused as if waiting for a response that would never come. For some reason acting like he was talking to her as well helped. It made her feel sane and like her friend was still here.

'And it keeps me from crying all the time.' Honey Lemon shook her head at the thought. She wouldn't dwell on depressing things, she wouldn't.

"I knew you'd say yes!"

And with that Honey Lemon opened up the comic book and proceeded to read it out loud. Making sure to articulate all the sound effects and describe the action. Just like she knew Fred would've loved.

As Honey Lemon left the hospital she put on her best poker face. She was supposed to meet Hiro and Wasabi today for lunch and as dumb as Hiro could be with emotions he wasn't stupid. He would know where she was and then he'd try to cheer her up and Honey definitely did not need that. This was her burden to handle and she needed to do it alone.

Walking into the small café Wasabi had chosen for their destination Honey Lemon was surprised to find Hiro and Wasabi already here.

'This is the same café from last time…he must really like this place.' Honey thought as she waved to her friends.

Hiro was busy eating a turkey sandwich and he tried to say hi through a mouthful of food at her. Which caused Honey to laugh and Wasabi to look grossed out.

"Hiro, chew your food before you speak." Honey Lemon reprimanded him playfully.

Hiro swallowed and stuck his tongue out at Honey "Shut up I'm hungry." He said, taking another huge bite of his sandwich.

"How are you today Honey?" Wasabi asked her, trying to distract himself from Hiro's messy eating.

"I'm fine." And Honey was surprised with how effortlessly she lied.

'No don't think of Fred. Your friends need you now.'

And then a thought struck Honey like a light bulb going off in her head.

"Hey Wasabi…can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

Honey took a moment to formulate exactly how she wanted to phrase the question. Wasabi just waited patiently, a kind smile playing on his face.

"About the wish…does it have to be for yourself?"

Hiro stopped eating and looked up with interest and Wasabi tilted his head to the side.

"What do you mean?"

"Well…like say for example you knew there was somebody who could really use help and they don't have a chance to help themselves, could you use your wish to help them?"

The smile dropped from Wasabi's face and his brows knit together. He took a moment to respond and when he did his voice was quiet, laced with apprehension.

"I…suppose you could…but you'd have to make absolutely sure."

"Of what?"

"That it's what they really want and not just what you want."

Honey felt her skin prickle. She never got angry, but she felt herself getting angry at Wasabi. How could he just assume that it was all for selfish reasons?

'He's just looking out for you.' She reminded herself. Wasabi was not a cruel person, he didn't mean it like that.

"So long as it's a wish you make yourself I can grant it." Kyubei chimed in and Honey noticed he seemed to be staring at her with renewed interest.

"I see. Well, thank you. That…gives me a lot to think about."

Hiro stared at Honey as if trying to make out what she was thinking. He knew who she meant and honestly it had just been so long since Fred fell into the coma. Most had given up hope that he would ever regain consciousness. The only ones who did still hope were Fred's parents and Honey. Hiro just didn't want to see his best friend get her hopes up only to have them broken.

But if Kyubei could bring Fred back…just like that? Hiro tried not to let himself get too excited. He had never met Fred but Honey had told him so much about him that Hiro felt like they were friends as well.

In the end Hiro chose not to add anything to the conversation. And soon enough the topic divulged into what Wasabi wanted to do tonight. He wanted to go witch hunting again and wanted to know if Hiro and Honey would still be going with him.

They both answered yes and Hiro noticed Honey seemed to have a new sense of purpose about her. Like she was determined to learn all she could. In comparison to Honey Hiro felt rather weak…

It was nighttime when they were all supposed to meet and they immediately started on their patrol. There wasn't much conversation among the three friends as Hiro and Honey were lost in thought and Wasabi was focused on the small egg in his hand.; the glowing light guiding him to where he needed to go.

Suddenly the egg started to glow brighter and Wasabi warned them both to be cautious.

"It seems to be coming from the playground…" Wasabi mumbled, more to himself than to his two companions.

As they got closer Wasabi pointed out a small crack and instructed Hiro and Honey too look closer but not to get too close. To Hiro's schock he noticed what looked to be a small egg in the middle of the crack. It looked like Wasabi's but there was something wrong with it. It was pitch black and a faint purple glow seemed to be emanating from it.

"See that? That's a witches egg. If it hatches a witch will come out. We were lucky to get here in time."

As if on cue a crack started to form on the surface of the egg and it was slowly spreading.

"Get ready." Wasabi said, using his egg to transform into his armored self and taking out his weapons.

As soon as the cracks reached the bottom of the egg, the glowing purple aura surrounding it seemed to get more and more erratic. Suddenly the world changed yet again until they were what looked to be a demonic carnival. They were standing on what appeared to be a bridge. Eerie faces peered out of them from all sides and impossible architecture was all around them. In any other circumstance Hiro would have called this fascinating. Now he just found it creepy.

"Come on, let's-"

Suddenly clack tendrils appeared from beneath the bridge and to Hiro's horror they grabbed Honey.

"Honey!" He shouted, his arms reaching towards her in a futile attempt to grab her hand.

She screamed as she was sucked down into the abyss the baseball bat she was holding clanging to the floor loudly.

Hiro rushed forward without thinking and Wasabi quickly grabbed him.

"Hey! What are you thinking? You can't go after her!"

"But-but she-"

"I know, I know. Don't worry, the witch took her to her nest to feed on her energy. We find the witch, we find her."

"That doesn't make me feel any better…" Hiro said, his heart sinking at Wasabi's words. What if they didn't get there in time?

"Like I said, don't worry. You're with me remember? I won't let anything happen to either of you. Now come on lets hurry and find her."

Wasabi once again took out the tiny egg and held it in front of him.

"This place is huge…." Hiro said in awe. He was a little worried, what if it took them a long time to make it to Honey?

"Yeah…it's a labyrinth. Don't worry that's why I have this egg with me. Makes finding these things much easier."

They continued on in silence for a little bit until Hiro decided to ask a question he had been dreading to ask for some time.

"Hey, Wasabi?"

"Yeah?"

"Well…you know when we first met? In the alley? You seemed to know my brother and I was just wondering…"

"About where I knew him from?" Wasabi asked, looking back at Hiro and Hiro stopped walking for a bit. A little shocked that Wasabi didn't seem at all surprised by Hiro's question, like he had been expecting it for a while.

Hiro nodded and continued walking beside Wasabi.

"We went to college together did you know that?" Hiro shook his head and Wasabi continued "Yeah, we had a lot of the same classes. Your brother was a good man…emphasis on the 'was'. No offense."

"None taken." Hiro mumbled. Did he really want to hear this?

"When my accident happened and I made a contract with Kyubei I stopped going to class. You see Hiro, this life? It's a lonely one. You won't be able to have any friends, no job, and your family can never know."

Hiro swallowed, was this really what he wanted then?

"As soon as it happened I dropped out of school, left home, the works. I was reported missing a couple of days later by my uncle. I'm sure he thinks I'm dead by now…" Wasabi trailed off lost in his own thoughts, a sad smile playing on his face. "Anyways, that's where your brother comes in. He refused to accept that I would just disappear. Too smart for his own good that one…so he went searching for me and well he found me."

"What happened?"

"Getting to that…anyways, the problem wasn't that he found me so much as how he found me. I was in the middle of hunting a witch and your brother got caught up in it. I had to save his ass and after that he forced me to tell him everything. So I did."

"So why is my brother so against Kyubei then?"

"That I do not know. Last I checked your brother was still a regular old human and the next thing I know he's a witch hunter just like yours truly."

"Wait…my brothers like you?" Hiro was shocked, Tadashi had seemed different but not like that…

"Yeah…you didn't notice? Not just anybody can see Kyubei you know."

"I assure you both I did not make a contract with Tadashi."

"Well if you didn't then who did?" Hiro asked.

"I don't know. But there is more than one of me on your planet you know."

"Oh…yeah I guess there would be." And Hiro felt incredibly stupid for not thinking of that sooner. Of course there would be more than one Kyubei.

"Ah. Well reminiscing's over. Looks like we're here." Wasabi said as they entered a gigantic room. To Hiro it looked like a circus tent complete with blinding colors. And then he noticed the figure lying on the floor.

"Honey!" He shouted making a run for her but Wasabi beat him to it. Wasabi crouched down to check if she was still breathing.

"Is she okay?"

"Yeah…her pulse is a bit faint but she's still alive. Just unconscious." Wasabi then picked her up and brought her back towards Hiro.

"Watch after her okay? The witch should still be around here." Wasabi warned, once again taking out his weapons and moving closer to the center.

A high pitched scream broke out all around them. The sound was deafening and Hiro covered his ears and gritted his teeth. It sounded pissed. Wasabi used his sash to form a protective barrier around Hiro and Honey just like last time.

"I don't think its happy I took it's meal…"

If Hiro wasn't cradling Honey in his arms he would've smacked Wasabi for that comment.

Out of the far corners of the room a tiny figure appeared. As it got closer Hiro noticed it looked like a stuffed rabbit, bright pink with spots all over. Its appearance may have been deceiving but that didn't make it any less dangerous. It demonstrated as much when it saw Wasabi and broke out into a sprint so fast all Hiro could see was a blur.

Wasabi grinned and charged forward to meet the witch head on. From there all Hiro could make out was the glow of Wasabi's swords and a pinkish blur.

A loud boom erupted as Wasabi sent the witch flying into the far side of the wall. He charged at it with impressive speed and impaled it's tiny body on his sword. The witch screamed, jerking around widely until finally it crumbled away.

Wasabi turned around towards Hiro and Honey with a huge smile on his face. He opened his mouth to say something but then-

A huge monstrosity came out of the dead carcass of the witch. It was pitch black and had an terrifying mask attached to it's head. One that made it look like it was constantly smiling. Wasabi didn't have any time to react other than to turn around, shock evident on his face.

The mask of the monstrous witch seemed to grin even wider and then it's mouth opened wide.

And bit into Wasabi's head. Blood splattered on the walls of the witches labyrinth. The witch lifted Wasabi's limp form off the ground, tossing his body into the air and swallowing him whole.

Hiro's mind went into shock, Wasabi's sash that was protecting them no longer active. It fell to the ground and both Hiro and Honey were now vulnerable. The witch turned it's attention to them and Hiro felt his blood run cold.

Wasabi was dead…and now he and Honey were going to die as well.
