I am no longer into writing fanfiction or rather don't have time. I had an idea and knew there was a story in there and over time Kyoko and Sayaka came together to create this moment. Sayaka probably wouldn't speak like this but I've mainly used them as their situation already exists and lends itself to this short story.
Compelled to write it so it is no longer required my attention I have decided to publish it (after managing to login to my old fanfiction account). Looks like the Madoka Magica universe has grown since my last check in so this will be a bit in the past!
Set within the original story.
We've been fighting. Fighting ourselves. Fighting each other. Most importantly, fighting Witches.
You've been alone. I've made myself alone. This despair concealing me, shrouding me in a darkness inside the shadow of night.
I see your point now. It was all for nothing. I needed to fight to survive. Fighting for justice, an ideal, for someone else, it could never work. I've lost everything and everyone.
Slowly. As I fell. I pushed everyone away.
Isolation.
It surrounds me. The inevitable result of our choice. The inevitable result of withheld information. Naivety.
This final night you broke through that. We have more in common than either of us like to admit. You responded to my pain. That kiss. That kiss…
It was everything.
My world re-borne.
A blade of clarity. A flash of happiness. A reflection of what could have been.
Your parents church. The cold stone walls surround us. The cold distance still surrounds you. The past echoes around here, I can sense your reaction to it. The memories must ebb and fade like small waves faltering at the shore, hitting you with distant feelings of an unreachable past. The heavy truth sitting on the swell of time.
Your hair feels soft, your breath on my arm warm.
I can still feel something.
We've travelled through our only night together. The paling sky signalling the coming dawn. The night-time hours have drawn out, stretched time out as only the surrounding darkness can. I stayed awake to grasp on to this warm, foreign feeling. An ephemeral mirage spreading through me.
"Don't let the morning take her..."
Kyoko…
The birds are calling, the darkness receding. It's time to go.
I never thought I would find someone to stay. I waited too long. And now you're leaving. It's all being taken away. I can sense it. It hangs heavy in the air. Dark. Despair. Desperation. Unimaginable ends.
"Don't let the morning take her.."
You whisper in your sleep.
We had tonight. These untroubled hours have become my lifetime with someone.
Time during the night stretches out. Forever engraved on my mind. My lifetime with someone at my side. Someone that understands me.
The birds are calling. The sky is paling. I know I must pull myself away and as Sayaka, face my fate.
