Chapter 3

A young maiden ran behind a rock holding a gun her herself, ready to shoot. She was breathing heavily from running around and trying to win against her opponent. She'd probably twisted her ankle, but she didn't care. "Homura Akemi...where are you....?" A voice cooed. Homura closed her eyes and looked forwards to the worst. She heard heels coming closer and a dress swaying. The sound the footsteps come getting louder each second that passed by.

Homura sunk down to the bottom of the rock she was behind, trying her best not to make any noise. She knew what was going to happen, they would cut the trying to cut her. It happened all the others. Goodness Oriko, why would you make a witch labyrinth just for our fight. Plus there's a witch in here. What are you accomplishing with your idea to kill Madoka?  Homura thought, she took a deep breath and prepared to run for it. Homura heard Oriko's step stop, and she knew what she was about to do. It was all in 10 seconds, Oriko managed to get where Homura was and Homura made a run for it and started shooting. Homura then start to worry about the others as she ran shooting at Oriko. Mami and Kyoko said they'll be here shortly. What are taking them so long?  Homura thought. Just after Homura thought that, Kyoko came in followed by Mami and Yuma. Homura garb a slight scowl at their late appearance and Yuma. Kyoko quickly saw her scowl and went over Homura. "Yo, what's with that scowl?" she asked, putting a barrier around Yuma so she wouldn't get hurt.

"Hey! Lemme out, Kyoko! I won't get hurt!"

"Because you guys are late and Yuma's here." Kyoko closed eyes and sighed, ignoring Yuma and her retorts. "Well, Yuma's here because I can't leave her at home because she may open the door for someone. We are late because Yuma HAD to spend 5 minutes with a friend."

"That still isn't a good excuse, Kyoko Sakura. You could've made that up on the spot." Homura replied, not moving her eyes off of Oriko. Kyoko sighed at her response and eyed Mami.
Mami looked back at her and gave her a quick nod as if they were saying something through their eyes. "So Homura Akemi, so asked people to come fight with you, huh? I guess you're scared that I'll beat you."

"No, it's just that you made a witch labyrinth. May I add with a witch while we're fighting." Homura replied to Oriko. All Mami, Kyoko, and Yuma watched them, wondering what they were talking about. It was quiet for a minute before Homura shot at Oriko. After that shot, it was constant sounds of gunshots, metal hitting one another, and yelling. Oriko then remembering that Kyoko came in with Yuma and spotted her barrier. Oriko then distracted all of the girls, earning some shots from Homura. Then she aimed for them barrier, making it shatter and earning a shriek from Yuma. Kyoko, now alarmed, turned herself to Yuma's location and ran towards her.

"Kyoko!" Homura yelled, hoping to get her attention, but she kept running. Oriko stood where she was laughing at herself and the scene. She then made it funnier for herself by then hurting Kyoko while still seeing her run for Yuma. Blood came out of Kyoko's arms and legs almost every second, making it harder to walk. Eventually, Oriko made a slit deep enough to make Kyoko fall down. She dropped her spear on the ground and a pool of blood surrounded her. Yuma could just stare at Kyoko in horror, she wanted to go over to her and hug her, but she couldn't move. "Yuma! Stay where you are, don't move!" Mami yelled out to Yuma. But Yuma couldn't hear her, she could hear nothing, the only thing she focused was Kyoko on the ground. Kyoko then attempted to get up, but her arms gave up, and she fell down again. "Mami, finish the witch. I'll finish Oriko."

"You're going to kill her? But what about Kyoko?" Mami asked, worrying about her best friend.

"Forget about Kyoko right now, this wouldn't have happened if she didn't bring Yuma," Homura said to Mami quietly. Mami gave a nod before turning to the witch, tears silently rolling down her face. Homura shot Oriko in the leg, then watched her fall down on the ground. At that same moment, The witch exploded and the labyrinth disappeared. Yuma was still in her shocked state and was staring down at Kyoko. Oriko transported herself to her home and Mami went over to Kyoko, got onto her knees and cried. "I'm going to get someone," Yuma announced and left. After a minute, Mami helped Kyoko up and helped her home.




Yuma wondered around looking for her certain someone. She stopped when a certain store caught her eye and went into the store. She came out later with a bag full of food items and continued her search. When she was about to give up and go home, she found her person. "Sayaka-Sama!!" She called, running full speed towards her. Sayaka turned around, alone, and went towards Yuma. 

"Yuma, what's wrong? You look upset.." Sayaka said when she was in front of Yuma.

"Kyoko-San... She was attacked... and now she's hurt..." Yuma said, saying what she could in between breaths. Sayaka was silent for a while before Yuma told her what happened. Not long after that, They were heading towards her home. Yuma opened the door, surprised by the door being unlocked. They took off their shoes and went into the living room. Kyoko was asleep on the couch, her soft breaths inhaling and exhaling. "It's fine, she's going to be alright. Just give her her rest."

Sayaka and Yuma spun around and saw Mami smiling softly at them. The 3 girls just sat at the table, drinking tea. It was around 10:35 when Sayaka left, and Mami and Yuma stayed back and helped Kyoko out.
