since there was no school that day, Mami decided to head over that morning to see Nagisa. Perhaps they could get some training in today. It was nice, to have someone to train with again, and to spend time with...
Nagisa's face lit up as she saw Mami "Hi Mami neesan!" "HelloNaisa Chan." she siled as she sat down beside her ' How are you feeling?" "Very well, thank you!" As Nagisa dined on her breakfast and the fresh baked muffins Mami had brought her, the two girls told eachprthers about themselves and basic details of their lives, aside from their roles as magical girls. 'As Nagisa finished her food , the doctor gave her permission to get up and about, and informed her that hermother was awake and able to have visiots. Nagisa gave a cheer at this and turned to mami "You should come meet her!" "Ah, I suppose, if you really want me to..." "I do! Can she, doctor?" the doctor said yes and they went to Nagisa's mother's rom. Her mother was a lovely enough woman, though frailed by sickness. Still she smiled warm;y at the sight of her daughter and took her in her arms in embrace"Good morning Nagisa" "hi Mama!" As they talked together, mami watched with a miled, though she felt a subdeuedpain in memory of her own mother... "Oh mama, this is my new friend and sempai Tomoe Mami, !"
[...Her Sempai? But of what? It didn't seem likely that they went to the same school, and Nagisa wasn't in any kind of club, as far as she knew...]
[But never mind that, it was so wonderful that poor Nagisa had managed to make a friend at long last!]
...It's good to meet you, Tomoe-san!
[Nagisa's mother smiled, and gestured for Mami to sit.]
My name is Momoe Sakura. Please, do sit down.
[And Mami did so, while Nagisa went and got them some tea in a teapot, and then went to a corner of the room and started to cut little pieces off her Very Special Cheesecake. She sighed a bit as she realized it was almost half gone, but then smiled, and stuck it back into the subspace pocket she usually kept it in when she was sure her mother wasn't watching. OK, now to add some cookies to the mix...]
[And then, Nagisa's mother smiled at Mami again, and sipped her tea.]
...How did you meet my daughter, by the way? She's usually a bit on the shy side, though that does seem to be changing, now that she's so much better...
[And then, she grinned.]
- And she's calling you her Senpai, too boot! ...How did that happen, eh?
[Nagisa and Mami both sweatdropped a bit at that. Uh, oh - They really should have thought of a good cover story beforehand, hadn't they now...]
"We met in an activity group I joined recently!" Nagisa spoke up "And Mami was assigned to be my big buddy mentor in it! So we do lots of fun activities together!" Well that sounded conviningcing, right? and it was fairly true if considering magical girls an activities club. they would have to find a real one to join, if needed. Her mother chuckled "Oh? Well good for you! I'm glad you're getting to go out and enjoy yourself. Hm, does this group involve hose magical girl adventures you were telling me about?"
[Aand two matching sweatdrops floated up right on top of Mami and Nagisa's head!]
...Ye - Yeah, sure!
[Nagisa said, and darted a frantic look at Mami.]
Mami Oneechan said that we'd find someplace where we could rent or buy me a costume cheaply - I wanna dress up as a Magical Girl for the hospital's Halloween party, you see!
[And that was when Mami smiled, and waved her hands.]
...You know, Nagisa-chan? Now that I've thought about it some more - I think that trying to sew our own costumes would be an even better idea! What do you think?
"But Nagisa, wenre't yo wearig a costume the other day and ou said you were a magical girl?" her mother asked, hdining her sudden sadness. yes, she knew she probably wouldn't last until the halloween of next year, and little nagisa was too ill to celebrate the last halloween. That was why the hospitals decided to throw a little halloween arty soon, even though it was spring. "Oh yes, right!" nagisa said "But, we're talking about some extra accesories we need for it!"
...Actually, the other Magical Girl costume was a hand me down to begin with, and it was getting a bit frayed at the seams, so -
[And then she smiled at Nagisa.]
- Hey, you don't mind if I make you another one from scratch, right? I'll make it look even better then the one I have now, I promise!
[Nagisa nodded at that, grinning widely.]
...Ohhh - I'd love that, Mami Oneesan!
[And that was when a nurse came into the room, holding a couple of papers.]
- Here, Mrs Momoe - The new notices for the Plum Flower Watching Party are done! ...And yes, Nagisa-chan can wear her costumes here, too, never worry...
[Nagisa's mother goggled a bit at that, and looked at the pamphlet.]
...I thought it was supposed to be a mini halloween party?
[The nurse giggled at that.]
- Well, the head doctor did think that having other parties where the children could wear their costumes was a good idea, but everybody else kept saying that having a holloween party twice an year was too much, soo...
[Nagisa's face scurunched up with disappointment] "but, but they promised they would have a halloween party? I would love flower watching, but they promised!" "Aw, Nagisa.. It's true, we did say so" The nurse patted her head "Well, I'm sure we can arrange some sort of little halloween party." "I could help out with anything, if needed" mami suddenly offered
[The nurse smiled brightly, and then started to chatter about their plans.]
[And about a week later...]
[Nagisa was staring at the collection of two plum trees in pots, set up in the middle of on of the bigger rooms. Oh, the flowers were very pretty, she thought, but...]
[They were going to have a Hanami party indoors? She'd never heard of such a thing!]
...Oh, we can't have have a party outside now, you know - Cherry blossom parties are different, because it's warm outside by April, but it's still much too cold outside!
[The nurse said with a smile, and bustled away with some halloween ornaments.]
- Hmmm...To put these on the tree, or not - That is the question?
[Nagisa stared at her even more, sweatdropping. Halloween ornaments on a flowering plum tree???}
"Um, I don't think those two belong together, Polina..." "hm, ah hah youre right, nagisa chan!" The nurse chuckled "I will just put them on the walls then" She hummed ot herslef as she continued deocorating. She noticed that Nagisa did seem rather sad that day. "what is bothering you, sweetie?" "..I am going to a funeral today..."
and meanwhile, at a nearby funeral home... the preparations were going up for the funeral of a certain flower loving teenage girl. And as with funerals, thre was much grief, perfect for attracting a witch. The area began to warp and shift as the wicth labrynth crept in... Gertud admired the assortments of flowers put up in this place as Anthony dotted about, but was suddenly drawn to a cetain flower she felt a connwction to. So beautiful and placed in a box. Still perfectly preserved, almost looking like she was merely aleep, well dressed, her favorite rose and butterflies accersories... Gertrud draped her vines around her and let herself slip back into grief seed form and sank into her chest with a dark glow... 'Hanako''s eyes flew open
"We dont't know how it happened!" the funeral director said sounding panicked "This fog came in and I and the other employees suddenyl blanked out, next thing we knew we were about to talk off a bridge. Apparently we were in some sort of trnace. Ad when we got back, your sister's body was gone, and there were rose vines where she was. Of course the police are on the case," Hanako's bother let out a moan "Thia is bad... Oh bu the funeral is scheduled in 2 hours, what do we do...
...Can we do it with a closed casket or something, do you think?
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Mami had gotten dressed up in her funeral clothes, too, and was now waiting outside the Minagishi house, dressed all in black, with a small elegant black bag in her hands.]
...Hi, Mami Oneesan!
[Nagisa said, running up to her with a smile.]
- Hi, Nagisa-chan!
[Mami smiled at her, and then looked at the middle aged woman with her. She was pretty sure the lady was one of the nurses at the hospital Nagisa-chan lived at, even though she couldn't remember her name at the moment.]
[And so she leaned over and whispered -]
...Ahem...About the funeral money...
[The nurse nodded, briskly, and took out an envelope with some money in it.]
They headed over to the funeral home. there was a fairly big turn out, of Hanako's family and frieds. Among them wasMiku Hatsune and her cousin gumi, who was friends with Hanako in the gardening club. Miku looked concern. She knew a witch had visited earlier, and she saved the employees here from being cursed
- Hatsune-san! I didn't expect you to be here, too...
[Miku looked at her, and opened her mouth - ]
[And that was the very instant that a minivan came driving up, and Hanako's father came tumbling out of it, almost literally.]
- Minagishi-san! Be careful!
[Nagisa blinked as she saw a nurse she knew from the hostital pull a wheelchair out of the minivan, and then run up to him.]
...I don't...need a wheelchair...
[The nurse sighed.]
- Minagishi-san. Please, no, you do, trust me on this...
[And then, she tried to help him into the wheelchair -]
[Just as Hanako's father caught sight of Nagisa, and went bone white.]
[Nagisa groaned as she saw his expression change. Oh, no - Not again! She had no idea what she'd do if poor Hanako-san's father collapsed again because of her, she really didn't...]
[He syarted shaking and pointed in her direction] "That is her! The witch child! Right there!! "Minagishi san, please calm down! " The nurse attempted to calm him "That is Momoe Nagisa chan! She certainly isn't a witch!" "no! I saw it! The blood! and her eyes!" Nagisa moaned and turned away. Poor Mr Minagishi. He was really scared and in grief... also, it hurt her feelings to be called a witch... Miku meanwhile was recounting to Mami that there was a witch attack in this loaction earleir
Nagisa giggled "Wow! Super idol Miku Hatsune is a magical girl too! So cool!!" Miku chuckled and patted her head "shh, it's a secret to the world, ok?" "ah right!" [Mami noticed that Miku was startint to look fairly tired, the way magical girls were when they soul gems were darkned. She would need to tlk to her about this later...
the fatehr shook his head "no.. they are real... and one took dear swet Hanako, and replaced her..."
[Super Idol Hatsune Miku, huh? That was so sweet!]
[Not that Miku herself thought that she was any kind of Super Idol yet, but she was sure getting there, it seemed...]
[And then, she sighed a bit.]
[...Oh, she still loved to sing, that part was as wonderful as it always was, and it was really nice to have a bigger audience then she'd used to have, but...]
[On the other hand - Ever since she'd made the Contract and her career had taken off, she'd found it harder and harder to keep any pretence of actually having any privacy going. And since whatever actual free time she had to be spent fighting Witches -]
[Miku shook her head, then, and took a deep breath. Oh, come on, Hatsune Miku, she told herself - It wasn't like she hadn't known things were going to be tough if she ever did manage to becoem an Idol Singer, even before she'd even met Kyubey, after all!]
[And in the meanwhile, Hanako's brother was frantically trying to hold his father up.]
...She wasn't Hanako, she hadn't been really my sweet daughter for months, but I didn't see it. I didn't want to see it.
- And now, she's dead, but she isn't gone, because -
[Hanako's father babbled on -]
[And that was when Hanako's brother looked up, and turned bone white.]
[His sister was looking at him from the other side of the road, dressed in her favorite blue dress - The one's she'd been fond lying in the garden with, dead and cold.]
[And Mami, Miku and Nagisa all turned as one, looking toward the road, which was currently filled with people in funeral clothes, their eyes wide.]
[...That hadn't been a spike of Witch energy...Right?]
"It can't be..." She seemed a little off and sickly lookign though, her normallly vibrant green curls drooping, and some rose vines about her. She simply turned and glided off , vaninshing behind a fence. He shook his head "Did he just imagine it? Should he follow?]
Mami frowned "Nagisa,, stay here. I'll go check it out."
[However, by the time Mami had headed out, there was only the faintest trace of Witch energy floating around the place.]
[Mami looked around her, and then headed back to where Miku and Nagisa were, biting her lip.]
[However, in the meanwhile...]
[Nagisa had managed to get close to the casket, trying to get a glimpse of Hanako - But then, she stopped. Why was the coffin closed?]
[She tried to get closer, and looked through the little window on top. Hanako-Oneesan's body hadn't looked awful or anything when they last saw her, right?]
But the window waved covered by the wreath of flowers, so she couldn't see through it. "so? did you sense the witch?" Miku asked. Mami shook her ead "I have, but she's alreayd gone..." "Should we trace it down?"
[Nagisa pushed the wreath aside, and tried to peer into the coffin.]
[It was dark inside in the coffin, and the window was small, so she couldn't see very well into it, but...]
[Nagisa bit her lip, then, and rubbed her eyes. Wait, wait - If she could use her Magical Girl powers to heal herself, she should be able to use them to make her eyes see better, right?]
[And a minute later...]
[Nagisa was running back to where Mami and Miku were, moving almost too fast for normal peole to see. Mami jerked around, and facepalmed - She was going to have to tell Nagisa not to do that where people could see her, didn't she.]
[Nagisa, however, was too upset to care about Mami's reaction for the moment. She ran up to both of them and grabbed their clothes, whispering - ]
...Mami-san! Miku-san! I don't think - I don't think Hanako-Oneesan's body is in that coffin at all...
[mami frowned at that] "What are you sying, Nagisa chan?" "Well when I peeked in through the window, there was no body there! Why would her body not be in there? "Hm, yes that is strange. Perhaps something happened to it. ." "Perhaps the witch took it ealier, the witch that attacked the funeral home?" Miku suggested
- I mean, she was dead, right? Why would it even bother?
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Hanako's father, now back in his wheelchair, was staring at the closed casket, shaking.]
...Why isn't the casket open? They said - They said she looked all right! Just like she was sleeping!
[And that was the exact moment that a soft meow resounded through the air.]
[Nagisa spun around, as something that looked like a white puffball with whiskers flickered through the edge of her vision.]
...Anthony?
[She whispered, but then, she bit her lip. Anthony was dead, right? Mami-san had put his body in that paper box, and she didn't know what had happened to it after that, but the poor kitty was really dead, she was pretty sure...]
Nagisa turns around and saw it continue turneing aroun the wall. this was off, she saw to check it out! So she headed in that dirsteciton, forgeting to tell Mami

[Nagisa had managed to get close to the casket, trying to get a glimpse of Hanako - But then, she stopped. Why was the coffin closed?]
[She tried to get closer, and looked through the little window on top. Hanako-Oneesan's body hadn't looked awful or anything when they last saw her, right?]

Mami shook her ead "I have, but she's alreayd gone..."
"Should we trace it down?"

Date: 2014-11-01 06:17 am (UTC)[It was dark inside in the coffin, and the window was small, so she couldn't see very well into it, but...]
[Nagisa bit her lip, then, and rubbed her eyes. Wait, wait - If she could use her Magical Girl powers to heal herself, she should be able to use them to make her eyes see better, right?]
[And a minute later...]
[Nagisa was running back to where Mami and Miku were, moving almost too fast for normal peole to see. Mami jerked around, and facepalmed - She was going to have to tell Nagisa not to do that where people could see her, didn't she.]
[Nagisa, however, was too upset to care about Mami's reaction for the moment. She ran up to both of them and grabbed their clothes, whispering - ]
...Mami-san! Miku-san! I don't think - I don't think Hanako-Oneesan's body is in that coffin at all...

Date: 2014-11-01 06:53 am (UTC)"What are you sying, Nagisa chan?"
"Well when I peeked in through the window, there was no body there! Why would her body not be in there?
"Hm, yes that is strange. Perhaps something happened to it. ."
"Perhaps the witch took it ealier, the witch that attacked the funeral home?" Miku suggested

- I mean, she was dead, right? Why would it even bother?
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Hanako's father, now back in his wheelchair, was staring at the closed casket, shaking.]
...Why isn't the casket open? They said - They said she looked all right! Just like she was sleeping!
[And that was the exact moment that a soft meow resounded through the air.]
[Nagisa spun around, as something that looked like a white puffball with whiskers flickered through the edge of her vision.]
...Anthony?
[She whispered, but then, she bit her lip. Anthony was dead, right? Mami-san had put his body in that paper box, and she didn't know what had happened to it after that, but the poor kitty was really dead, she was pretty sure...]
