SayakaQuest Thread 10: Glory To The Death

[TheOneMoiderah]

[x] Talk to Kyouko.
[x] Find a witch.

"So..." You lean over. "Kyouko."

"Yeah?" She looks at you.

"...I think everything's okay right now."

"...Bullshit." She puts a hand on your shoulder, and immediately pulls you close. "If it was, I wouldn't have found you crying."

"...I was what?"

"You were crying last night." She says. "Like that other time...remember?"

You bite your lip. "Yeah. Yeah, I remember." You frown. "How could I forget? It's kind of hard to."

You both eventually reach the barrier, and when you do, you immediately enter. And with a sudden, icy blast to the face, you both feel the wind. It screams past you, howling with a human scream as you both stumble across what you were wholly unprepared for.

What lies ahead is an icy tundra, and you're right in the center of it.

[OPTION SELECT]​

[] AAAAAAAH.

[] Armor up.

[] FIND WARMTH.

[] Hug Kyouko.

[BASIC RULES]​

1. Standard SV policy is to be followed. I shouldn't have to put this here, but I'd rather not take chances.
2. Spamming is forbidden.
3. Griefing will just make you look like a massive cunt. Don't do it. I really don't want to get the mods here. Seriously, they have better things to do than babysit idiots.
4. Write-ins will be possible, but trying to derail things by wrestling control from the GM won't work. That would just be dickish.
5. Dying is possible. I won't attempt to railroad things (I fucking hate DMs that railroad), so expect multiple endings to multiple situations. Things branch out. This is a tree.
6. Rationality is appreciated.
7. Drama is appreciated more.
8. Hilarity is also appreciated.
9. Trying to punch a traumatized teenager in the face won't cure her. Just don't do it.
10. Votes can and will be done with posts, but liking things will make some posts more likely to be picked and/or used. Use your likes wisely. The big rule is a minimum of three votes. One hour at least.
11. Do you seriously think there's a storyline under all this? Well, there is, but almost all of it is determined by your actions. It's a fucking quest, not a giant QTE.
12. You are not in control of an entity inhabiting Sayaka, or a cluster of voices inside of her brain. Rather, you're controlling her decision-making faculties. So good luck with that.
13. Sayaka is specifically fated to die. It's your job to try and keep her from doing that. So again, good luck with that.
14. While she is fated to die, that doesn't mean that she has to. If you make a stupid decision, that's it.If you are offed by the plot, that's it. If you witch out, that's it. Die rolls can be redone, and battle decisions can be redone. Everything else is on your head.
15. As an addendum to the previous rule, having three bad ends against one enemy means that you're dead. Forever.
    1. When you are in control of a character other than Sayaka, you only have two chances. Die once? Reset. Die again? Gone for good.
16. If a character dies, there are no Dragon Balls. They're gone for good.
    1. EDIT: Kyouko is the exception. Because of the unhealthy nature of her and Sayaka's relationship, if she dies, Sayaka goes next in a horrifying series of dominos. It simply counts as one bad end.
17. If the vote tally is used, that means the vote is closed.
18. STUPID FUCKING PUNS WILL RESULT IN -10 TO THE NEXT ROLL, NO MATTER WHAT SAID PUN IS. SO SICK OF THIS SHIT.
19. Criticism: Good. Nitpicking: Very fucking bad.
20. Contributing nothing is unacceptable. If you are popping in to do any of the following, I reserve the right to get your ass hauled out.
    1. Defend something that I have criticized
    2. Be an asshole and just whine about my style of GMing
    3. Are just being unpleasant

[SAYAKAQUEST PART 11: APPROACHING EVIL]
​

[x] Keep talking.
-[x]Homura's right that it won't be easy. But we can stop it for good. We can win.

"Homura was right that it won't be easy." You say. "But we can stop it. We can end it. We can win."
[x]Talk to
-[x]Everyone

"But even then, I want to get as many people as we can out of Mitakihara before it arrives." You frown. "And we need your help for that. We might not be able to get everyone out of harm's way, but every person we save is someone that won't be caught when it arrives."

Madoka stares at you and nods slowly. She turns once and, immediately, she sees just how hurt Homura looks. Her eyes widen at that, before she looks away quickly.

-[x]Madoka

Madoka just looks lost. She doesn't know what to do or say, and when she looks at Homura she can't help but look away. That is, before Homura pulls her into the tightest hug she can muster.

"I...I don't know what to say." Madoka says, quietly. "You...I can't help you." She says. "And if I try...th-that'll just hurt you, won't it?"

Homura just holds on tighter.

[OPTION SELECT]​

[] Let Homura talk to Madoka.

[] Talk to...
-[] Write-in.

[] About...
-[] Write-in.
-[] Tell Madoka Homura's truth.

 

[TheOneMoiderah]

[SAYAKAQUEST PART 12: PEACE IN DENIAL]​

[x] Just lay there for a bit.

You cuddle with Kyouko for several more minutes. You bury your face in her hair, and just relax.

[x] Afterwards...

...But you really can't stay here. You only have a few days left, right? You hold Kyouko tighter. "...Madoka."

"Hm?" She moves her head out from behind Homura. "Yes?"

"...It's time, you know." You say, quietly. "Your parents will need to know."

Madoka pauses. You can see Homura's expression grow a little harsher, before she notices Madoka holding onto her even tighter. "I know." Madoka says. "It...I know that but..."

[OPTION SELECT]​

[] Write-in something to say.

[] Let Sayaka talk.

[] Let Madoka talk.

[] Stay here.

[] Leave.

 

[TheOneMoiderah]

[SAYAKAQUEST 10.4 : THIS ISN'T YOUR PLACE]​

[X] Talk.

"...You couldn't have known this was going to happen." You say as you stand up. "...You wouldn't have done something like-"

Just as you start talking, she starts to sob. It's a quiet kind of sobbing, and you take a look at her gem, as though to make sure that it's still in a good condition. It is...but it's slowly getting darker. "I-I...!"

"Hey..." You frown. "...You still couldn't have known."

"I b-became a murderer." She says. "I d-did that to my b-best friend! She trusted me and I-I turned her into that-!" She's barely coherent.

"You still couldn't have known." You say. "...This system...it's terrible, isn't it?" You frown. "...You aren't bad people. I thought you were...but you aren't. You're just victims." You pause. "...Everyone's a victim."

She doesn't say anything. Instead she just sobs again.

You honestly can't figure out what to say to continue it.

[x] Speak to them all as a group.

"...If you feel guilty over what you've done...I have a job." You say.

Kagura looks, followed soon by Yuri, Ran and Chou.

"It...yeah, this job kind of sucks." You pause. "It...I'm not making an understatement. If you accept it...you'll be saving the lives of everyone in my city...but you could die." You say. "...I'm not going to go into details right now."

The other girls just stare at you. Yuri starts signing, only for Ako to bring her arm down. She pauses, looking guilty, before Ako just nods once.

"For now...get rest. Calm down. Do some hunting. We can discuss this later, maybe tomorrow, maybe this afternoon. For the moment, you're free to stay...but if you're not going to help, I'll tell you that it won't be safe to be in Mitakihara in about a week's time. You shouldn't be anywhere near here if you aren't committed."

The other girls are just kind of silent. Kyouko looks at you, before she puts a hand on your shoulder.

"...When you're ready, get in contact with Ako or Akane and they'll, in turn, get in contact with me."

There isn't much of a response to that. Everyone's just looking at you quietly.

[OPTION SELECT]​

[] Talk to...
-[] Write-in.

[] Gauge reactions.

[SAYAKAQUEST PART 10.5 THE WORLD MIGHT DO ME IN]
It's alright, 'cause I'm with friends.​

[X] Call Madoka.

'Hey, Madoka?'

It takes a few seconds, but then, suddenly, you hear someone giggling on the other end of the mental connection. 'Sayaka?'

'Hey. Just uh...calling you again.'

'I'm okay.' She says. 'Homura's here, too.'

[OPTION SELECT]​

[] Write-in what to say to Madoka.

[] Disconnect.

[] Go to sleep.

 

[TheOneMoiderah]

[SAYAKAQUEST PART FINAL: THE CIRCUS]​

[x] Telepathy. Homura get over here quick! (Time Stop)

'Homura!' You screech, before suddenly, the building stops moving. You look around, to see her standing above you in full armor.

"Sayaka?" She mutters. You look up to see several mortar launchers in midair, frozen and firing in an arc. There is a missile launcher in the process of being discarded, and a battleship in the river firing all of its guns at once.

"Holy shit, Homura."

"What is it?"

-[x] Heal Kagura

You look over at Kagura. "I need to get her legs back on." You say. "She's my only link to the Tokyo girls."

Homura nods, before you both walk over to her body. You raise your hand and start to heal her. She's frozen throughout the process, still not moving as both her lower half and her armor is completely repaired.

[CORRUPTION: 167/1000]​

-[x] Heal Yourself.

You start healing yourself. Your arm and the armor above it reform quickly, and you let out a relaxed breath.

[CORRUPTION: 284/1000]​

-[x] Check Gem.
--[x] If you can afford it, reform your shield. Then cleanse.

You make yourself a new kite shield.

[CORRUPTION: 319/1000]​

You look at your grief seed during the timestop, before you press it against your gem. It immediately turns pitch-black before you toss it away, while Homura shakes her head. "Waste of a grief seed."

[CLEANSES LEFT: 26]​

​

​

[x] Ask Homura to help you and Kagura get to the gear.

"Could you help us get to the gear?"

"I'm running low with my own stockpile, Sayaka." She murmurs. "This particular timestop's already been used to its limit. I won't be able to do much else but fire outside of timestop at this rate."

[OPTION SELECT]​

[] Tell her to stop the barrage.

[] Have her keep going.

[] Have her help you get to the gear.

[] Just have her on bail-out duty.

[] Write-in what to do.

 

[TheOneMoiderah]

[X] Get to work.

You stare at everyone, covered in dust, debris and dried blood. Several thousand people are starting to wake up...confused and dazed. The Grief Seed rests among the rubble, impossible to hide, standing upright like a surreal sculpture. The smaller seeds within rotate, shifting and changing as the entire thing towers over you and the other magical girls.

Akane brushes rubble off of her shoulder, before she transforms into her tank-top and shorts. Ako and Yuri, one with a broken arm and the other slumped against the other girl, covered even more in dust. Ako grins, before she kisses Yuri on the forehead.

Chou's shuddering as she walks through the rubble, confused and terrified, while Ran collapses on the ground in an exhausted heap, right next to the already unconscious Homura, surrounded by thousands of civilians.

And some of those civilians are beginning to wake up. You hold Kyouko's hand, transforming into familiar, normal clothing. As though a joke, it's just as torn and dirty as your magical girl outfits were just moments ago.

You take a deep breath. You have a lot of work to do...so many people to heal...

But even then, you can feel a weight lift off of your shoulders. Despite everything, despite your other timelines, despite going against the forces of a god, you survived.

You're still here.

[EPILOGUE]​

Sayaka shot upright in bed, covered in sweat, panting heavily as she did. She stared in front of her, eyes wide, chest heaving, breath heavy and arms by her side. Seconds passed as she realized she was safe and in her bed. Several more, before she scrambled towards her Soul Gem, placed right next to a red one, and a blue glow stared right back towards her.

She sighed in relief, before she felt someone's arm squeeze her around the waist. "...Another nightmare?"

"...Yeah." Sayaka said, quietly. "A little."

"Iunno." Another young woman shuffled her head out of the bedsheets. "Didn't seem little to me." Red hair splayed out from her head, covering the pillow under the head as she yawned, showing off a pair of fangs in her mouth. "...You okay?"

"Yeah." Sayaka muttered, before she shuffled towards the alarm clock. "...Five."

"Bit early, hrm?"

"Don't care." Sayaka yawned again. "I'm okay with waking up right now."

"Heh." Kyouko clawed her way out of the bed, before she threw the covers off of her. Both of their bodies were toned, but while Kyouko's was heavily scarred, Sayaka's was perfectly smooth, with the exception of the few wounds on her neck and jawline.

"Fuck me." Sayaka muttered as she walked over to the showers.

Kyouko snickered. "...We just woke up, though."

"No, I meant…" Sayaka coughed. "Like...uh…" She turned bright red.

"Nah, I know what you meant." Kyouko waved a hand. "Just makin' funnaya."

Sayaka smirked. "Love you."

"Love you, too." Kyouko said, before she pecked Sayaka on the lips.

[YEAR: 2017]​

Both Kyouko and Sayaka left the apartment, with Kyouko dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, and Sayaka in long jeans and a jacket. Sayaka cracked her neck, Kyouko ground her shoulder and the city streets below bustled with life and the sound of construction.

Refineries, rebuilt and refurbished, sent smoke into the air from the edge of the crater, while the entirety of midtown could be seen from their place in the city. Freeways ran from overhead towards the center, lining whatever wasn't covered in new life...and right next to them, Miho Miki, face slightly wrinkled from age, rushed out, dressed in a jumpsuit.

Sayaka waved. "Hi, mom!"

Miho turned. "Oh, you didn't leave yet?"

"Nah." Sayaka said. "Mitakihara Memorial Day, remember? U of K's classes are cancelled."

She paused. "...oh. Oh my god I forgot."

"No, it's okay." Sayaka waved her hands. "You've been busy-"

"But...hrm." Miho paused again. "...I still can't believe you...." She cut herself off, before she smile thinly. "Hey, you can borrow from me if you want to go on a date or…"

"Hey, I can pay." Kyouko chimed in. "I wanna treat my girlfriend."

Miho smiled a little broader. "Suit yourself." She says. "Just make sure to have her back-"

"I'm twenty." Sayaka said, flatly. "I can handle myself."

"Just making sure, you know…" Miho turned, before she dashed towards the rail, slipped towards the bottom, and continued running towards her car with a bag on her back.

"She's like, what, pushing her forties?" Kyouko muttered.

"Be nice."

"I am!" Kyouko shouted back. "She's...like, doing parkour shit."

"We jump off buildings."

"We're magical girls."

"So? Can't be that surprising."

"It kind of is." Kyouko crossed her arms, before she sighed. "...Still can't believe we're like...we're adults. magical adults. How often does that happen?"

"And he said two years." Sayaka said back. "...I guess we're that outlier, now."

"Yeah." Kyouko squeezed Sayaka's hand. "...Hey, wanna go on a date, or do you wanna get Akane and the ducklings over?"

"...Do we really need a date?" Sayaka said back. "We act like teenagers pretty much all the time anyway."

Kyouko giggled.

[=]​

Akane stood by a nearby corner, in a jacket, hair cut to her shoulder and with a stick of bubblegum in her mouth. She texted on her phone, smiling as she stared at the screen.



She jumped at the sudden contact on her shoulder and whipped around, fist raised. She stopped an inch away from the other person's face, before she yelped and stood upright. "Sayaka!"

"Hey, jumpy." Sayaka raised a hand. "You alright?"

"Just uh...boyfriend." She raised the phone. "It uh...yeah."

"I thought you said boyfriend."

"I meant the phone. The phone was the 'it'."

Sayaka chuckled, before she turned. "What about Tomo and Yoko?"

"They're gonna be here in a bit." Akane said. "...Tomo's with her dad this week."

"Better him than her mom." Kyouko muttered, before Sayaka shot her a mean look. "What? It's true!"

"Yeah it's also rude." Sayaka said.

"Rude or no, her mom's a cunt."

"Kyouko!"

"It's also true!" Kyouko said back, before she felt someone tapping her on the back. She turned to see Tomo, arms crossed, taller than her, almost by Akane's height. "...Whoops."

"I'm not gonna argue with you but uh..." Tomo coughed into her fist. Her eyes were more relaxed, she looked better slept, and her hair had been done into a boy's cut. "Yeah."

"Sorry." Kyouko gave her a slight, stupid grin. "Shit."

Yoko popped out from behind Tomo with a giant smile. Her hair had grown much, much longer, reaching to the small of her back, followed by Sukuyo, with a pair of glasses and a smile on her face. "Sayaka! Kyouko!"

Sayaka waved, before she nodded towards Sukuyo. Just as she did, Sukuyo just blushed, before she held onto Tomo's arm, reaching just to her shoulder. "Went well?" Sayaka asked.

"I said yes." Tomo said quickly, eye half-lidded and a gentle smile on her face. "Kinda like you, hm?"

Kyouko squeezed Sayaka's hand, before Sayaka followed up with a squeeze across the shoulders. "Mebbe."

"Wait, what went well?" Sukuyo asked. Her stutter had vanished, probably thanks to therapy.

"She's asking about the date."

"W-wait-" She sputtered. "Huh?!"

"I...uh asked for advice." Tomo coughed.

"Oh....oooooooooh." Sukuyo blushed. "...thanks."

"Hey, not a problem." Sayaka said. "No need for thanks for, like, friendly advice."

Tomo smiled again, before everyone turned to Akane, who just coughed into her fist. "Uh...yeah, so Ako, Chou, and the others are kinda tied up in Tokyo." She said. "Another group's trying to get together."

"Another Tokyo Six wannabe?" Sayaka asked.

"Yeah." Akane twiddled her thumbs, before she sighed. "...yeah."

"Hey, you alright?" Sayaka moved closer. "...I mean..."

"It was years ago."

"Doesn't make it better." Sayaka said back. "...so I'll ask again. You okay?"

"Yeah." Akane said back, before she paused. "Hey, where're Homura and Madoka?"

"They're gonna be late." Sayaka said. "Madoka had an interview and uh..." She shifted her feet. "Homura had a bad morning."

"Another one?"

"Yeah."

"...She worries me." Akane said. "Like...scares me, y'know?"

"You crack concrete by fucking tripping." Kyouko said, flatly.

"Yeah, but..." Akane paused, before she looked up to see someone right behind Kyouko and Sayaka. "Oh. Not that late, then." And everyone else followed.

There, standing at the top of a nearby staircase, was Homura Akemi, with short hair, a pair of red glasses, a soul gem on her finger and in a purple dress. Her hair was in a bob cut, her smile thin and she turned to see Madoka right behind her.

Madoka herself had long, flowing hair, with some of it wrapped in a ponytail. She gave Homura a smile, before she took a step forwards. She was dressed in a business suit, tie around her neck and skirt short enough to make movement easy. "Hi!"

"Hey!" Sayaka smiled broadly before Madoka barreled down the steps and pulled her into a hug. She let go, before giving Kyouko a similarly big hug and running back to Homura. "It's Memorial Day, right?"

"Yeah." Sayaka said. "...It's been six years." She said back. "...Might as well, right?"

Madoka's smile grew a bit sadder. "...yeah."

"Why'd you get an interview today?" Kyouko said.

"I wanted to do it before I got here." She paused. "Sorry...I had it at four this morning and thought I could back here and I'm so sorry-"

"Hey, it's a few minutes." Kyouko said back. "I don't think Sayaka gives a shit. Right, Sayaka?"

"About right." Sayaka smiled back, before she adjusted her shirt and turned back. "So how'd that date last week go?"

"The beach was fun." Madoka said. "Homura had a fun time, we were able to take a few seeds on the go...there was a witch over by a beach."

"It was Naha." Homura said. "It's what happens by cities."

"I know." Madoka takes a breath. "...I'm glad you were there before it hurt more people."

"You have the gun I ga-?" Homura said quietly, before Madoka dashed over and put a hand on her mouth.

"Japan! Not legal!" Madoka said again. "No. What gun." She moved closer to whisper. "Yes, I do."

Homura smiled again. "Thank you."

Sayaka crossed her arms. '...I heard something about a bad morning.'

'...I didn't take the pills last week.' Homura said. '...I thought I was getting better.'

'Oh.' Sayaka took a breath. 'I thought you were still seeing a therapist...'

'I tried not going to save some money.' She wrinkled her mouth. 'Didn't want Madoka's family to-'

'My family can afford it.' Madoka interrupted, and Homura immediately winces. 'Don't stop just because you feel like a burden, okay?'

'Yes, Madoka.'

Sayaka giggled at that. 'Henpecked girlfriend?'

'None of your business, Miki.'

'Okay, whatever you saaaaaaay~' Sayaka laughed again, before she turned towards the edge of the crater. "So...ready to go?"

"I guess we are." Kyouko moved closer to Sayaka, grabbed her arm, and they started to walk.

[=]​

Several minutes later, there was a place in a field. It was near a series of walkways, leading out of the crater and towards a windfarm. It wasn't much...just a single damaged teacup, with a photograph inside of a frame. The picture itself was damaged and the frame was old, but Sayaka quietly pulled out the old photo, and put in a new copy of it. She sat in front of it, before she stood up and walked back towards Kyouko.

Around the grave, everyone stood, before Kyouko put a box of Pocky nearby, and removed an older box. The cardboard was wrinkled and torn, probably from whatever ripped it open, and all that was left was a bunch of scattered, moldy crumbs. "...I'm sorry."

Nobody said much of anything, instead opting to stare at the makeshift grave. Sayaka rested her head on Kyouko's shoulder, before she said something quietly. "I miss her, too."

Madoka brought out a pack of tea, Homura looked away, and everyone else just stood as the wind blew past.

"Memorial Day, huh?" Kyouko said.

"Memorial Day." Sayaka said back.

[=]​

The group separated soon afterwards, and as they walked away, Sayaka paused. She turned her head, taking a look as soon as she felt something tugging inside of her. "...Witch." She said, quietly.

"Oh no," Kyouko murmured. "We didn't get to her?"

"I don't think we did." Sayaka closed her eyes. "...We'll just have to put her to rest."

"...hrm." Kyouko clenched her teeth. "...Why today? I just...god, I just wanted to relax and take you on a date after mourning a friend. Is that so bad?"

"Kyubey's still here, isn't he?" Sayaka said. "We'll go on a date after we put her to rest, okay?"

"...Sure." Kyouko said back. "...ice cream?"

"Yeah." Sayaka said back. "...Let's go." And with that, she whipped a hand out, and a sword appeared in her palm. She whipped her other hand out, and immediately, there came a shield, round, powerful, secure. A flowing cape appeared on her back, followed by secure, powerful armor. Behind her, Kyouko transformed, surrounded by blue and red energy, as her own set jangled and rustled.

And with that, they dashed away, feet slamming against the ground. They saw the barrier entrance, and without hesitation, they rushed through.

Her name is Sayaka Miki. She was pretty sure of that.

That's what her name has been for the past twenty years. And even if she isn't certain that it will last, she will do her damnedest to keep it that way for many more to come. She wakes up, she yawns, she cuddles her girlfriend and she prepares to charge through school and save as many magical girls as she can. Every day.

Six years ago, her life changed forever; a friend died in a gruesome way, and the month that followed tried her in ways no normal life could have. Some things changed her for the better, some for the worst...but all of it made her stronger.

And even if the world's trash. Even if magic and miracles are lies, they aren't. They know that. They will never stop making things right.

That's what they do.

And that's what they will always do.

WARNING: INCREDIBLY SAPPY BULLSHIT THAT DESTROYS ALL MY CREDIBILITY AS A WRITER AHEAD

SayakaQuest: Epilogue: Epilogue


​

Fifteen years to the day after Sayaka Miki and her friends defeated the most powerful Witch Japan had ever seen, she sat at a tiny desk in her home office, quietly filling out paperwork.

A glance at the corner of her computer's screen projection- which was doubling as her lamp, because Kyoko was a complete cheapskate- showed that it was ten minutes until midnight, and her paperwork was only a third done.

Being a police Detective- especially a Junior Detective- was more work than Sayaka had ever seen in her life, even counting last-minute cramming in college. Honestly, who even used actual paper anymore? Let alone for routine, done-it-a-hundred-times procedure? The government, apparently. She didn't know menial, tedious bullshit could exist in such quantities. However, by the fact that she couldn't even remember the last four pages of it, it was time to pack it in.

She yawned, stretching in her chair. Sure, she could use magic to just whisk away the fatigue and keep working- technically, she didn't need to sleep at all- but that was a waste of magic, even with the near-limitless source of cleansing nearby. Sayaka knew that "near-limitless" was a far cry from "Infinite" and thinking otherwise would only make that even more true, so she instead turned off the computer and marked her place in the papers with a post-it.

Using the light of her phone, she made her way out of the office and down the hall of her apartment. By Mitakihara standards, it was small- which meant gigantic, compared to most of Japan- but it was theirs. They'd moved in here five years ago, after getting married.

Kyoko had wanted to give away the trust fund they learned she had once she turned eighteen (a massive, barrel-chested lawyer had literally shown up to Sayaka's mother's apartment that very day holding a briefcase and a will belonging to Kyoko's mother) to charity. It had been over a week of arguments to convince her that it wasn't "mind-control money," but in the end, half had gone to various orphanages and youth help charities around Japan, and half of it had bought the floors and walls Sayaka was avoiding stubbing her toes against.

On her way to the bathroom, Sayaka quietly opened the door to their bedroom. Kyoko had gone to bed hours ago, and was sound asleep. She'd kicked off all the covers, as Kyoko Miki was always too hot, and a restless sleeper at the best of times, with her long hair fanned like a red halo around her, her arms wrapped around her stomach. Sayaka smiled, and gently closed the door again. She started to walk to the bathroom.

From the other end of the hall, she heard the window in the kitchen creak. Sayaka froze, and a sword materialized in her hand from within a dim flash of light. Her sleepiness was gone.

They were on the 20th floor, and had no balcony. This was no burglar. At least, no ordinary human one. Sayaka turned on her heal, holding the sword in front of her, and crept back down the hallway to her kitchen. When she reached the doorless entryway, she slowly looked around the frame. What she saw made her instantly forget all pretense of stealth or caution. She nearly leapt into the room, sword held straight in front of her as she marched towards the window

"You!" She yelled telepathically, "I told you never to come near us again! Especially now! What the fuck are you doing in my house?"

Sitting on the windowsill was Kyubey, the Incubator. Sayaka hadn't seen him in years, as she or Kyoko would kill him on sight. It didn't really hinder him in any way, as a replacement body would be there in seconds to clean up the mess, but eventually he had decided that the energy spent to recycle his bodies for no gain wasn't worth it.

Until now, apparently. His face, a strange mix of a rabbit's and cat's with no nose and nearly circular eyes that seemed to have no eyelids, was as expressionless as always, and ignored the sword advancing on him, staring into Sayaka's own murderous expression.

"Greetings, Sayaka Miki," Kyubey said politely. "Normally, I would of course not contact you, but I have information you might-"

Sayaka raised her sword. "Not interested, you psychotic marshmallow. Once you clean up this body, take whatever information you have and-"

"It concerns your father," he interrupted in the same blandly polite tone.

Sayaka's heart stopped for a moment that had nothing to do with magic.

"What?" She said aloud. Then her expression turned even more thunderous than before. "How dare you!"

Dismissing the sword in a puff of magic, she grabbed the incubator by the head. It compressed slightly, like an oversized tennis ball, in her hand.

"What, did you finally think of a way to try to fuck our lives over now? Fuck you!"

Sayaka squeezed hard.

Just before Kyubey's head exploded in blood and fluffy material, his next telepathic words froze Sayaka's hand and spine.

"He was killed by a Witch. We know it's location."

Years ago, when Sayaka was still a child, her father had left one day and ever returned. Suicide had long been suspected by the police, but no trace or evidence of him had ever been found.

It had long since occurred to Sayaka that he might have been eaten by a Witch, but to have it confirmed-

"You're lying," she managed to choke out.

"I do not lie. We know that Hiroshi Miki went to Aokigahara after falling under the influence of the Witch there to commit suicide."

Kyubey fell through Sayaka's grip to the floor.

"He...Aokiga-"

"Sayaka?" She heard Kyoko's voice, soft and dim with sleep, from just outside the hall. She saw movement out of the corner of her eye, and turned.

Kyoko's belly, covered by a hastily-tied bathrobe she had not bothered with until a few months ago, came into view first. She waddled into the kitchen, looking around as she held one hand under it.

"What's going on? What are you yellin' ab-"

Her eyes fell on Kyubey, jumping into a chair. Her eyes instantly hardened into razor-sharp focus.

"You!" she snarled, throwing her hand out. The ring on that hand materialized into a bright-red gem trimmed with gold within her fingers. From the gem, a triangular spear blade erupted in Kyubey's direction. Moving so fast even Sayaka only saw a blur, the spear halted a few centimeter from Kyubey's eye. His only response was an expressionless blink.

"Hello, Kyoko Miki," he said, "And congratulations. Very, very few magical girls survive long enough to reprodu-"

The spear stabbed forward again until only a few millimeters separated it from his eyes. He stopped.

"Shut the fuck up," Kyoko snarled unnecessarily, looking at her wife. When she saw Sayaka's expression, her eyes widened in concern, then snapped back to Kyubey.

"What did you tell her?"

"Aokiogahara..."

Kyoko looked back at Sayaka. "Aokio..? What-" Her eyes widened. The hand not holding the gem moved from her bump to her mouth. "Oh Jesus..."

"How strong is it?" Sayaka said softly.

Kyubey's ears flicked.

"Aokigahara is estimated to have assimilated at least eight-hundred lesser Witches in its existence. The Walpurgisnacht-class Witch you assisted in killing was estimated to have been made of, at most, one hundred."

The only sounds in the apartment was the hum of the refrigerator and the muffled buzz of traffic below. Kyubey turned to the side, and jumped off the chair.

"What, you think you're gonna fucking leave?" Kyoko yelled, recovering first, the spear following Kyubey across the room.

"I have said all I need to say," Kyubey said, "What you do with my information is your decision."

Then he walked into a shadowy corner and was gone.

Kyoko's hand dropped to her side limply, the spear dissolving with it. For several minutes, the two women stood in silence and darkness in their kitchen.

"Sit down, hon," Sayaka said softly. Kyoko nodded numbly, walking to the table. She pulled out a chair, and sat down heavily, rearranging her robe around her belly, though the garment had long failed at the task of hiding what was below. Actually, Sayaka could even see her wife's belly button poking up under the robe now; that hadn't been like that even this morning. Sayaka flicked a finger in the direction of the light switch, and the lights in the room slowly brightened so as not to hurt the occupant's eyes. Not that they would have cared in the slightest at the moment.

Sayaka took another chair next to Kyoko. Kyoko slowly slid her hand towards Sayaka, and took her wife's hand.

They sat their for several minutes, one woman silently comforting the other.

"Sayaka?" Kyoko said quietly.

Sayaka didn't respond.

"Sayaka, babe, talk to me," she said, more pleadingly.

Another silence, this one deep and awkward instead of comforting.

Sayaka stood up suddenly. Kyoko's hand followed her, but she didn't get up from her chair. Sayaka robotically walked over to a locked drawer, grabbing her keys off the wall. She seperated one key from the chain, and focused on it. In a flash of light, the key changed slightly to a blue, watery metal with veins of red running through it. She inserted it into the lock, and opened it.

This was the drawer they kept their Grief Seeds. Although the "Hurricane Monument-" actually Walpurgisnacht's huge Grief Seed- was enough to cleanse them and every magical girl within a hundred miles for most of their lives, they still had a stockpile from the occasional time a Magical Girl fell into despair. Each was carefully labeled and kept in separate compartments lined with black and white velvet. These were kept for emergencies, just in case, and in the event of emotional arguements or events.

Sayaka pulled out two, walked back to the table, and placed them on it.

Kyoko looked at the Seeds, her hands unconsciously moving over her midsection. She swallowed slightly. "Sayaka-"

"I am going," Sayaka said, her voice hard, though betrayed by a sudden waver at the end. "I-I have to."

Kyoko was silent for a long time.

"Why?"

Sayaka was too shocked to be angry. She stared at her wife with her mouth opened and eyes wide. "What do you mean, why?" she finally managed.

"Just listen for a sec, I know it sounds awful-"

"Of course it does!" Sayaka said, her voice starting to rise, "How could you-"

"Don't yell at me," Kyoko said, her own glare crystallizing, "Just hear what I have to say."

With visible effort, Sayaka calmed herself, though she looked on the verge of exploding again.

"Kyubey wants you to do there. He wants to you get killed, Witch out, whatever. Both of us."

"But that's stupid," Sayaka said, "If I-we- die, then he still doesn't get shit."

"I know," Kyoko said, "But maybe he doesn't care. Maybe he's just super fucking butthurt about being wrong about all of us, and this is just, like revenge or something. Maybe he's not as emotionless as he thinks he is."

"This isn't about Kyubey, Kyoko," Sayaka said, "It's about my dad."

Kyoko looked down slightly. "Believe me, I know how much it hurts to think about your dad. And eight months ago, I would have been right there with you to go down in a blaze of glory or somethin. But Sayaka..."

She stopped, and looked out the window.

"That was what, twenty years ago? It's so far in the past. We were practically babies then. But we have a future now, not just a past."

Sayaka's face hardened, but her mouth set into the stubborn line Kyoko had learned to dread.

"It's not just about my dad. It's about getting justice on him against that Witch. That murderer. And not just him. Eight-hundred magical girls, and how many regular people? We have to bring it to justice." Her hands balled into fists. Her knuckles turned white, and her hands began to shake.

Kyoko reached across the table, taking one of the Grief Seeds. She gently took Sayaka's hand, and pressed the Seed, not to the simple gold band on her finger, but to the blue jewel on the much more ornate ring next to it.

"You heard Kyubey. We barely beat Giggles, with everyone. This Witch? It absorbed eight times as many Witches, and you know that shit doesn't scale linearly."

Nobody had been as surprised as Sayaka at Kyoko's aptitude at maths, once she started going back to school. She wasn't as good as Homura, of course, but Homura had some unfair advantages.

"So what?" Sayaka said, not as vehemently after Kyoko cleansed her Gem but still with stubborn conviction, "It doesn't matter how strong it is, we have to-"

"We can't."

Sayaka's eyes narrowed again as she prepared to blow. "It doesn't matter if we can't, we have to try!"

"No, Sayaka," Kyoko said, taking Sayaka's hands, "We can't."

Kyoko pulled Sayaka's hands to her belly, and pressed her fingers flat against them. Even through the robe, Kyoko's roundness was firm beneath Sayaka's hands. Sayaka felt a soft kick.

Sayaka's eyes softened slightly, but not enough. "So we wait a bit. I know you're antsy to go back to work and fight, and once you have her-"

"We'll have a baby, Sayaka."

Another moment of silence, with Sayaka's hands on Kyoko, feeling her wife breath through her bump and their child move restlessly from the noise.

"Sure, I want to get back to help out at the orphanage and help put the girls that turn into Witches out of their misery too, but we can't do things like go kill ourselves against a super-Witch. Not any more. We'll have someone to take care of. We can't abandon her like that."

"We won't be abandoning her."

"We'll be dead. And it'll be completely our fault. As far as I'm concerned, that'll be abandoning her. I'm not gonna do that, and I'm not gonna let you do that."

Kyoko's hands pressed Sayaka's down harder, until the firmness began to give very slightly. She felt another kick. "And this is your baby, too."

Sayaka had never really paid attention in science classes until college, so when she learned that it was a relatively simple matter for two women to have a biological child thanks to modern science (and she secretly suspected a Wish or two), it was a mild surprise.

A bigger one was when Kyoko was very insistent on being the birth mother, but eventually, Sayaka had figured out the reasons. After several conversations in which Kyoko had uncharacteristically shut down and stonewalled Sayaka every time she tried to ask why, Sayaka eventually just mulled on it on her own. After some thinking, she think she had it figured out, even if she didn't really "get" her wife's reasoning. Sayaka was a detective, after all, and puzzling out the truth was what she was good at, even if it didn't really make sense.

Sayaka's head fell. She sighed deeply, then walked to a corner cabinet, pulling out a bottle of whiskey and a shot glass.

"You know it's not fair to drink that while I'm like this."

It was said in jest, so Sayaka ignored it, instead pouring herself a shot and Kyoko a glass of pear-kiwi juice. She walked back to the table, placed the juice in front of her wife, and downed the shot herself.

Somehow, Kyoko had already finished her-very tall and full-glass before Sayaka could take her single swallow, and looked excessively smug about it for whatever reason. After a moment, her serious expression returned.

"It's probably not going anywhere, anyway."

The warmth from the alcohol vanished like smoke. "It's going to be killing people until then."

Kyoko nodded glumly. "Yeah. It will be. But that gives us time."

Sayaka looked at her wife. "Time to plan. Think up strategies. Gather girls." Kyoko took Sayaka's hands again. She couldn't lean forward very far, so Sayaka unconsciously leaned forward instead. "Sayaka, maybe, one day, we'll do this. But we'll need much more than we have. More time, more girls, more information." She began rubbing Sayaka's hand in gentle circles on her stomach. "And for her to grow up with her parents. Too many of us didn't get that. We should at least give our kids that right."

"Kids?" Sayaka said, dumbly, mostly in shock that Kyoko was actually agreeing with her, and partially because she knew that Homura was extremely against having kids. Sayaka had heard some stories about how Christians had lots of kids, but Kyoko couldn't be thinking of having more already, when she hadn't even had this one yet...

Kyoko grinned slyly. "Well, Akane and her husband are trying, apparently."

Sayaka couldn't help but let out a small, girlish squeal. "Really?"

Kyoko nodded. "Yup. I told her to name it "Gohan" if she has a boy. I think she would have punched me halfway to Ireland if it wasn't for-" she said, then waved her hands over her midsection like she was doing a magic trick.

"You're the only person I know that'd use being pregnant to taunt someone!" Sayaka laughed so hard she nearly returned her whiskey. When she stopped, they sat in silence again.

Damn, it's mood silence Bingo night, Kyoko thought to herself, but didn't air the idea. Sayaka never really got those kind of jokes.

For what felt like the hundred time that night, Kyoko took her wife's hands.

"So do you promise me you won't go to Aokigahara?"

Sayaka was silent for a long, terrifying moment. Then, she slowly nodded. "Yes. I promise."

"Ok, now look at me this time."

Sayaka raised her gaze to Kyoko's piercing red one. "Yes. I promise I won't go to Aokigahara, Kyoko."

Kyoko, finally, smiled. "Good. I love you, you hopeless dweeb."

The tension flooded out of the room like a burst pool.

"Love you too," Sayaka said, standing up and walking towards the hall again to resume her interrupted trip to the bathroom. "I'm going to get ready for bed now."

Kyoko smiled. "Finally." She went to stand up as well, then slumped back down with a grunt. She frowned, and wiggled in her chair a little. She crossed her hands over her bump, as if she was suddenly self-conscious about it. "Wanna help me up?"

Sayaka stuck out her tongue. "You can't do it yourself, lazy ass?"

"Sayaka!"

 

[TheOneMoiderah]

Sayaka Miki woke up panting. She patted herself down, adrenaline pumping through her blood, before she relaxed. She was in her bed. In her apartment, dressed in a nightgown. To her right, she could see the city at six in the morning on a Sunday. To her left, she saw her wife sleeping, arms wrapped around Sayaka's waist. Somehow, she hadn't woken up, despite being dragged along when Sayaka bolted upright.

That's right. She sighed in relief. That was almost seventeen years ago. "Morning." She said.

Kyouko groaned.

"Hey. Hey sleepyhead." She kissed Kyouko on the forehead. "Morning."

Kyouko groaned. "Lemme know when the brat starts-"

She was interrupted when from down the hall, a child started crying.

"Oh, goddammit."

"You know you love her." Sayaka giggled.

"Don't remind me." Kyouko groaned.

"You insisted."

"Yeah. I guess I did." Kyouko sat up. "...Also?" She pulled Sayaka's face to hers and gave her a long kiss on the lips. "Morning."

Sayaka broke it off, still smiling. "So on a scale of one to 'right now', how bad do you want breakfast?"

"Pretty damn bad." Kyouko yawned. "Got anywhere to go?"

"That's not on the scale." Sayaka said back. "And no. Sunday. I'm off."

"Good." Kyouko wrapped her arms around Sayaka's waist. "Can I be clingy today? You were clingy yesterday."

"You can be clingy today."

"Good."

[=]​

A toddler with blue hair and red eyes stared at her banana-covered plate, then up at Kyouko. "Mama!"

"Eat your banana." Kyouko said with a smile. "Hey, Sayaka?"

"Hm?" She turned.

"When's everyone coming over?"

"Like around midday." Sayaka said back as she flipped a sizzling egg. "Should we cook something for the party?"

"I have no idea." Kyouko shrugged. "...Eh, fuck it. We can go out or som-" She froze when she realized what she said. "Wait, nonono-"

"FUGGIT."

Sayaka almost fell over when she heard her kid swearing. "Kyouko."

"Sorry!" She said back. "Sh-I mean, sorry!"

"FUGGIT!"

Sayaka turned. "Don't say that, Minako. It's a bad word."

"Fuggit?" She pouted, and turned back to her plate.

"It's better than her first word." Kyouko sighed.

"That's your fault." Sayaka said back as she put chopped sausage into the egg. "Anyway, almost done with yours."

"Woo!" Kyouko grinned broadly, before a hot steaming plate was put in front of her. "Best wife." She said in english.

"Bestuwaifu!" Minako shouted.

"Oh good. She learned something that isn't a swear." Sayaka snickered. "She likes taking after you more than me."

"Well, I carried her for nine months." Kyouko grinned back. "Anyway, did you get your gear cleaned?"

"Yeah. Last patrol was kind of nothing." Sayaka muttered. "A few muggers."

"I hope you didn't hit them too hard."

Sayaka scoffed. "You'd hit harder than I would."

"Yeah, probably." Kyouko sipped her coffee. "Probably break their legs."

"I dislocated their arms when they tried resisting arrest." Sayaka said. "And only because they were armed."

"Like that'd do anything to you." Kyouko turned. "Miss 'I've killed worse than you on my way to real problems'."

"I don't kill on the job." Sayaka said back. "And I only said that once to a rogue magical girl."

"But you can't deny it'd be cool. The wife of a badass cop." She turned to Minako. "Don't say that word."

"BA-DA!"

Sayaka chuckled. "I'd rather not."

"Yeah, I know." Kyouko smiled. "Too good a person for that, right?"

"Yeah." Sayaka smiled. "Oh, we should probably eat. I think your egg's getting cold."

"Oh. Dammit."

"DAMMIC!"

A/N: More will come eventually...mebbe
