Chapter 2: Sumika and Keiko

Ren sat there as Madoka ran out of the room slamming her bedroom door.

"Way to go!" Ren glared at Keiko as she laughed at her.

Sumika just sat there sighing drinking her tea.

Ren grabbed a cookie and chomped on it angrily, "Well, she wasn't listening to me! She's just over reacting!"

Keiko Ikari and Sumika Higurashi, were Ren and Madoka's friends as well as fellow magical girls. They had come over today to go over there battle tactics which had led to the twins fighting and Madoka locking herself in her room.

"Honestly though," Sumika commented siting her tea down, "Your being a bit hard on her. Madoka has only been fighting for the past two weeks. Lighten up a little bit, Ren."

"Yeah, Akemi!" Keiko commented grabbing the rest of the cookies, "Lighten up, Madoka will get the hang of it eventually."

The white haired teen now wished she had locked the door to keep Keiko and Sumika out, "Eventually isn't soon. This isn't a game. Madoka could get hurt."

"If I remember correctly, more times than knock a beat up Ren came home," Sumika points out using her magic to summon more tea.

Ren grumbled as she got up grabbing her keys and cellphone.

"Yo, Akemi, where are you going?"

"To visit my mom!" Ren yelled slamming her door.

Sumika and Keiko shared a look.

"Correct me if I'm wrong," Sumika began looking at Keiko confused, "But I thought Madoka and Ren's mother was dead."

"No, you're right, Sumi," Keiko agreed confused as well, "Madoka told me the other day though Ren always goes off when upset claiming to go the see their mother."

"Poor, Ren," Sumika realized, "She must go to her grave to think."

….

17 years in the past

"…So, I wanted to know what you think," Ren finished her story looking at the most powerful magical girl ever.

"How did you get in my house?" Homura asked monotonely.

Ren raised her eyebrow to Homura, "I'm a magical girl. Doors are nothing. Now, what should I do about me and my sister."

Homura sighed, "I think your friends are right."

"WHAT?!" Ren cried never thinking Homura, Homura Akemi, would agree with Sumika and Keiko.

"Your sister is trying and telling her "your useless stay out of the way" was far from the appropriate move, Ren," Homura pointed out, "I was told that a lot when I was just starting out."

"You? I doubt that, Homura," The time traveler commented as she laid down on the floor.

The ex-time traveler smiled sadly, "I suppose it is hard to believe. But what I'm saying, Ren is your sister really wants to be a part of your team. I know you're worried about her safety. But if you train her right she'll be fine."

Ren glanced over at Homura, not crazy about the idea but it made sense, "Your right, you always are."

"I am, now please leave," Homura motioned to her pajamas, "I was in bed when you woke me up."

The teenager laughed a little at her young mother's cat pajamas as she got up and left.

….

Madoka Akemi sat in her bed face red from Ren's words earlier.

Despite being the younger of the two, Ren had always been the bossy one and the one that look out for her. It had been really nice as a child, since Madoka had been sick all the time, but now it was annoying as hell.

The door to her room opened as a cake was slide into the room before the door was closed again.

"Sumika?"

"No, me."

Madoka looked over at the cake a little wary, "I'm not eating anything you cooked, Ren."

"It's store bought, but thanks a lot," Ren voice came thru the door sounding weak.

"Ren? Are you okay?" Madoka asked trying to open the door but apparently Ren was holding it in place.

"I'm fine. Just tired, I walk all the way to mom's grave," Ren lied as she huffed, "Which brings me to what I decided to tell you. Madoka, Mom's last words to me was to look out for you. That's why I'm so protective. Sorry."

"But," Madoka felt tears well up, "But…. Ren, I can take care of myself."

Ren smiled on the other side of the door placing her head wall beside her, "I know. It's just hard, I don't want to let mom down."

"Mom would never think that," Madoka replied waiting for a response but heard none, "Ren? Ren?"

Madoka tried the door again surprised this time that it opened and gasped as she saw Ren bruised and bloody on the floor, "Ren?!"
