Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Visionary

New friends, old enemies

Kyouko was lying on the couch with a lollipop in her mouth, watching the open and sunny sky of a saturday afternoon through the apartment window. Nevertheless, the day was cold enough for her to have to wear a wool sweater with red and white stripes, as well as a pair of jeans.

"How's my hair?"

The question forced Kyouko to turn her head and saw Mami, still in her school uniform, stroking her big curls.

The redhead looked back at the window, responding with some rancor. "Yellow."

That did not please Mami at all. "Kyouko..."

Kyouko turned again toward Mami, this time without hiding her anger. "I already said what I think. Inviting them to come here is stupidity."

Mami felt dejected, thought that issue was already resolved. "They're also no longer receiving visits from Kyuubey. It makes sense that he no longer wish to contact me and you, but they? Now we know it must be something else."

"Yeah!" Despite having agreed, Kyouko continued speaking harshly. "But if that girl had something to say yesterday, she should tell everything."

"Mikuni-san said it was something that needed to be discussed." Mami answered.

Kyouko nodded negatively. "I'm telling you, we're getting into a big trouble."

"She was very cordial." Mami continued. "And if they wanted to try something, the best opportunity was yesterday, because we had not purified our gems yet. Also, here she would be risking to alert the neighborhood."

Kyouko snatched the stick from her mouth and chewed what was left of the lollipop angrily.

Mami smiled, keeping her composure. "Why didn't you tell me the story you have with them, maybe this make me change my mind."

Kyouko looked away, breathing hard, almost snorting.

Mami closed her eyes. "Well..."

The doorbell rang.

"Ah! They have arrived. "Mami skirted the triangular glass table and took the stick off Kyouko's hand.

"Hey!"

"Go meet them Kyouko. I'm going to the kitchen to prepare something quick." Mami left in a hurry, turning her back. "I didn't have time to shop. Try to be polite, okay?"

Kyouko rubbed her eyes. "Damnit."

The doorbell rang again.

Sighing, Kyouko left the couch in a jump and walked to the entrance. Opening the door, she faced the expected visitors.

Oriko wore a school uniform. However, unlike Mitakihara school, it was of burgundy color, including the skirt, with white details. There was a black lace tied at the collar. A white scrunchie held her long ponytail that hung to the left side.

Kirika, at first glance, appeared to be wearing her magical girl uniform because of her black jacket over a white shirt with a tie. But she was wearing a pink shock skirt with white stripes. There was also pink in her pantyhose, which she was wearing only on her left leg. In a strip tied at the waist, she had a mobile holder with the appearance of a stuffed cat.

Between the two was Yuma with a dark green dress. Her hair had two clips with golden balls, one on each side, forming small pigtails.

"Oh... Sakura-san." Oriko spoke quietly. "May we come in?"

Kyouko grimaced. "If I say no, you go away?"

"I heard that Kyouko!"

The redhead rolled her eyes at the sudden voice of Mami coming from the back of the apartment.
