6 As the battle settled to a finish, Pretty Sammy stood as the victor. Pixie | |
7 Misa levetated not to far from the battle scene and watched. She often | |
8 wondered who Pretty Sammy was. Even though she didn't really know her own | |
9 identaty she would at least like to know her enemies. Maybe, just maybe if | |
10 she found out before she was reverted back she would remember who Sammy was. | |
11 Just as Sammy started reverting back to normal Misa did as well. | |
12 | |
13 Pixie Misa was engulfed in a bright white light and her outfit disappeared | |
14 and she was there in the middle of the sky glowing white and nude. Her hair | |
15 then reverted from blonde to black as her street clothes reappeared. Misao | |
16 got up off the ground. Her headache was now gone. She walked around and | |
17 wondered how she had gotten in the alley that she was in. | |
18 | |
19 As Misao walked around the corner someone knocked her down. The person | |
20 stopped and it was Sasami. | |
21 | |
22 "I'm sorry Misao." Sasami said, "I was just looking for you. I | |
23 heard that | |
24 there was a battle going on in this area of town and I had gotten worried | |
25 about you." | |
26 | |
27 "Thank you, Sasami. I'm fine though. I just don't remember how I got | |
28 back | |
29 here. I'm sure that I'll remember though." | |
30 | |
31 Elsewhere... | |
32 | |
33 "Damn that Pretty Sammy! She is always getting in my way!" a | |
34 shadowed | |
35 figure yelled in anger. "It doesn't matter though. I'll get you when you | |
36 least suspect it. Be warned Pretty Sammy, you will not be a thorn in my | |
37 side for much longer. You can count on that." | |
38 | |
39 "Master." Ramia said. | |
40 | |
41 "What is it, Worm!" | |
42 | |
43 "If my warrior was allowed to stay in her other form a little while | |
44 longer, | |
45 She could find out who Sammy is and Kill her before she can turn into Pretty | |
46 Sammy." | |
47 | |
48 "Your 'WARRIOR' should be greatful that she is even able to turn into | |
49 Pixie | |
50 Misa. I'll give you and your 'warrior' one more chance. But be warned, If | |
51 you fail me THIS time I will show NO mercy!" | |
52 | |
53 "Yes Master. I am very grea" | |
54 | |
55 "SHUT UP AND LEAVE!!!!" | |
56 | |
57 On that note Ramia vanished fearing what would happen to her if Misa failed | |
58 agian. | |
59 | |
60 A few days later on the Afternoon News. | |
61 | |
62 "This is the third day in a row that monsters have been constantly | |
63 attacking the city. The Super Soldier Pretty Sammy Has put a stop to every | |
64 attack to this point. Police are baffled and can not detect any connection | |
65 between any of the attack sites. Some people have began to wonder, that | |
66 with all the constant attacks, just how long Pretty Sammy can keep this up. | |
67 This is Sara Ulrich with WKBM News at 1:00. Signing off." | |
68 | |
69 'Yeah. Just how long can I keep this up? Not long, I know that much. I | |
70 can't even get a good night's sleep anymore.' Sasami thought to herself. | |
71 This was the 3rd day that she has gone without any sleep at all. Just then | |
72 a little grey rabbit looking creature was hopping across the school yard. | |
73 'Oh no. Not AGAIN.' | |
74 | |
75 "Sasami! More Luvluv monsters have been spotted. You must hurry." | |
76 | |
77 "I can't do this much longer Ryo-ohki. I'm about to collapse as it is | |
78 already." | |
79 | |
80 Elsewhere... | |
81 | |
82 'My plan is working. With Pretty Sammy exhausted, she won't have the | |
83 strength to fight much longer. I just need a little more time.' | |
84 | |
85 "Ramia! The Master want's to see you right away." | |
86 | |
87 "Thank you Rumia. You may leave now." On that note Rumia changed | |
88 into | |
89 bird and flew off. | |
90 | |
91 Back in Japan.. | |
92 | |
93 The battle raged on anf for a little while it had seemed that the LuvLuv | |
94 monster had an edge over Pretty Sammy. With her last bit of energy she was | |
95 able to launch her ultimate attack, Magical Resolution, and was able to put | |
96 the LuvLuv monster at peace with it's inner self. | |
97 | |
98 "Finally!" | |
99 | |
100 "I'm proud of you Sammy. I"m glad to see that you can still | |
101 fight." | |
102 | |
103 "Ryo-ohki! Did you have doubt?" | |
104 | |
105 "Well... no but you looked very tired." | |
106 | |
107 "I am VERY tired. By the way you are a terrible lier. I also had doubt, | |
108 but I knew that I had to beat it." | |
109 | |
110 "Bonjour Pretty Sammy. You look very tired. Do you think that you have | |
111 enough strength to defeat me?" | |
112 | |
113 "PIXIE MISA! I don't know if I have the strength but I know that I can | |
114 always defeat you!" | |
115 | |
116 "Oh come now. Even I know that you can't defeat me in your weakened | |
117 state. | |
118 However it wouldn't be any fun if you just up and surrendered. So get | |
119 ready Sammy." | |
120 | |
121 Misa charged at Sammy and hit her with unbelievable power. Sammy knew that | |
122 she was no match for Misa now but she just couldn't give up. No. She | |
123 wouldn't give up. When Misa had was getting ready to give the final blow, | |
124 Sammy was surrounded with a bright magical light. | |
125 | |
126 'No. Not now. I.. I can't change back now!' Sammy thought to herself in | |
127 panic. | |
128 | |
129 At the same moment Misa was confused and blinded. Ryo-ohki saw this and | |
130 told Sammy to run for it but she was too weak to make a move. The light | |
131 disappeared and there lay, in Pretty Sammy's place, was a nude Sasami. Her | |
132 clothes soon materialized in place of where the Sammy outfit used to be. | |
133 | |
134 Misa regained sight to see Sasami laying where Pretty Sammy was at just a | |
135 second ago. | |
136 | |
137 "So this is who you are. Get ready to die, Sammy! Pixie Blade!" | |
138 Suddenly | |
139 a short bladed sword appeared in Misa's hands and she thrust downward. | |
140 | |
141 "NOOOOOOOOOO! I can't, no, won't do this!" The blade disappeared | |
142 and Pixie Misa Stood up and turned around with tears forming in her eyes. She, | |
143 too, was then Surrounded in a brilliant flash of light as she started to | |
144 revert back to Misao, Ramia appeared. | |
145 | |
146 "What do you think that you are doing?! You will kill this | |
147 annoyance!" | |
148 | |
149 "No! I can't do this to my best friend! You knew this all along didn't | |
150 you! You knew that Pretty Sammy was my best friend!" The reverting | |
151 stopped and she retransformed into Misao. | |
152 | |
153 "So. She will eventually betray your friendship. It's best to destroy | |
154 her now, I mean, you will destroy her anyway. It is better to get rid of her | |
155 befor she can hurt you." | |
156 | |
157 "Never!" With that said, Misa took Sasami and left. | |
158 | |
159 Two hours later... | |
160 | |
161 "Uhhhhhhh... What happened?" Sasami said still drowsy and begining | |
162 to come around. | |
163 | |
164 "Don't worry, you are safe now." Sasami knew this voice but couldn't | |
165 place it. Her vision cleared after a few moments and she looked around for her | |
166 rescuer. After another moment she found someone and jumped up ready for | |
167 battle. | |
168 | |
169 "Pretty Mutation Magical Re..." | |
170 | |
171 "You don't have to transform Sammy. There is no one else here. I saved | |
172 you." Suddenly Misa was covered in a brilliant flash of light and a few | |
173 minutes later the light was gone and Misao stood in Misa's place. | |
174 | |
175 Sasami's eyes watered and she started crying. Crying for her friend and | |
176 crying for herself. The whole time that she was having fun with her friend | |
177 she was also fighting against her friend. Fighting in battles that could | |
178 kill her. She could have hurt Misao. She could have killed her. Misao meant | |
179 too much to her to lose like that. She couldn't stand the thought of hurting | |
180 her. | |
181 | |
182 "Sasami, what's wrong?" Misao asked concerned. She blinked a couple | |
183 times, confused about what was going on. The last thing she remembered, she'd been | |
184 having another headache and then everything had faded away. Now she was with | |
185 a very distraught Sasami. She quickly realized they were in her room, but | |
186 she couldn't make out how she had gotten there, or when Sasami had arrived. | |
187 | |
188 Sasami through her arms around the black haired girl, throwing Misao off | |
189 balance. Misao fell back onto the bed with Sasami still clutching to her. | |
190 "Oh Misao… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry…" Sasami sobbed. "I should | |
191 have known. I should have done something. I'm so sorry." | |
192 | |
193 Misao hugged Sasami, trying to comfort her. She didn't know what to do. | |
194 Sasami was always the one who made her feel better when something went | |
195 wrong. She wasn't sure how to calm her friend. "Sasami, its alright. I | |
196 don't know what you're sorry about, but there's no reason to. I'm fine. | |
197 Everything's okay." | |
198 | |
199 The sound of Misao's voice in her ear sent shivers down Sasami's spine. She | |
200 was locked in a close embrace with the black haired girl, Misao whispering | |
201 soothingly to her. Sasami blushed a deep shade of red and tried to | |
202 disentangle herself from her best friend. Sasami's emotions overflowed as | |
203 she sat there. The fear of what could have happened to her best friend. The | |
204 sadness that she'd almost hurt her, the relief that maybe now they wouldn't | |
205 have to fight anymore. And something else. Some other feeling flowed through | |
206 her. It was deep and warm and enveloped her like a soft blanket. 'What's | |
207 going on?' she thought to herself. Her torrid emotions had ripped down a | |
208 barrier inside her, pouring forth emotions she'd hidden, even from herself. | |
209 Things she'd pretended not to notice, not to care about. She sat up and | |
210 stared at the wall of Misao's room. 'Why do I have to pick now to fall in | |
211 love?' Sasami asked herself angrily. 'And with Misao? How could I be in love | |
212 with Misao?' Sasami took a deep breath while Misao looked on, confused. 'I'm | |
213 just being over emotional right now. I'm sleep deprived and I'm just happy | |
214 she's alright.' She looked back at the black haired girl. Misao was looking | |
215 at her worriedly with her gentle aqua eyes. Sasami turned back towards the | |
216 wall. | |
217 | |
218 "Sasami? Are you okay?" Misao asked nervously. "What's going | |
219 on?" | |
220 The blue haired girl smiled warmly at her friend. "I'm fine. I'm just glad | |
221 things are working out now. I'm sorry I can't explain what's going on right | |
222 now, but I will. Someday I'll explain. I promise." Misao nodded weakly. | |
223 "I should go for now. I'll call you tonight. Be careful, Misao." Sasami hugged | |
224 the other girl tightly before smiling and heading to the door of the room. | |
225 | |
226 Misao wrung her hands, still worried. "I will, Sasami. I hope you feel | |
227 better." | |
228 | |
229 "I think all I need is some sleep and I'll be back to normal," Sasami | |
230 said. She waved to Misao and headed downstairs to the door. Sasami sighed deeply | |
231 after she got outside. She squinted as her eyes adjusted to the sun light. | |
232 She wanted to go back in, to see Misao again, but she needed to get some | |
233 sleep. She tried to ignore all the thoughts invading her sleep hazy mind. | |
234 After what seemed an eternity, Sasami reached the house she shared with her | |
235 mother and brother. She stumbled up the stairs to her room. Ryo-ohki looked up in surprise when | |
236 Sasami collapsed on the bed. | |
237 | |
238 "Sasami? You're okay?" Ryo-ohki hopped over to her side happily. | |
239 "I was so worried about you!" | |
240 | |
241 "Thanks," Sasami mumbled, her eyes half closed. | |
242 | |
243 "Where were you? I saw Pixie Misa take off with you, but I couldn't catch | |
244 up in time. How did you escape?" | |
245 | |
246 Sasami yawned and tried to make out what Ryo-ohki had said. "Oh, no. I was | |
247 fine. Misa wouldn't have hurt me. She saved me." She lazily unbuttoned her | |
248 shirt and threw it to the side, trying to pull the blankets up around her. | |
249 | |
250 "She saved you?" Ryo-ohki asked incredulously. Sasami just nodded and | |
251 rolled over. "Sasami…" Ryo-ohki nudged the blue haired girl after | |
252 waiting for an answer. | |
253 | |
254 "I'm sorry, Ryo-ohki, but I'm tired and I'm confused. I need some sleep | |
255 after all this. We can talk later, okay?" Sasami smiled tiredly at the | |
256 cabbit, trying to keep her eyes open. | |
257 | |
258 Ryo-ohki sighed. "Sure. You deserve some sleep after all those LuvLuv | |
259 monsters you stopped. Goodnight, Sasami." Ryo-ohki waited for a reply, but | |
260 Sasami was already asleep. | |
261 | |
262 *** | |
263 | |
264 Sasami yawned and stretched as she woke up. She felt a lot better after the | |
265 non-stop fighting she'd dealt with over the past couple days. It was dark | |
266 outside now. She had a hard time remembering what had been a dream and what | |
267 was real. One thing stood out above all else, Misao. Her mind centered on | |
268 the thoughts of her dark haired friend. Misao smiled at her in her mind's | |
269 eye. Suddenly, the image shifted, the dark hair was now blonde. The | |
270 beautiful aqua eyes were now pink. Sasami let out a silent sigh, remembering | |
271 that her best friend was her worst enemy. But was she? She had saved her | |
272 life. Maybe it showed just how deep their feeling were for each other, | |
273 strong enough to get past the magic that cause Misao to be Pixy Misa. | |
274 | |
275 The blue haired girl blushed deeply. What was she thinking? Her heart beat | |
276 had quickened while thinking of Misao. Just what was happening to her? | |
277 | |
278 Stretching as she stood up, Sasami hopped off her bed. She glanced around | |
279 for Ryo-ohki, but the cabbit was nowhere to be seen. She shrugged her bare | |
280 shoulders and padded across the floor to her dresser. Pulling on her | |
281 pajama's, she couldn't help but feel a stab of worry for her friend. Was she | |
282 alright? What would happen to her now that she betrayed that strange lady | |
283 she'd been working for? Sasami bolted upright and grabbed for her phone. She | |
284 pushed the speed dial button and paced nervously as she waited for an | |
285 answer. | |
286 | |
287 "Hello?" a gentle voice answered. | |
288 | |
289 Sasami smiled at the sound of Misao's voice. The other girl had always been | |
290 her very dear, best friend. She felt so relieved to know that she was okay. | |
291 | |
292 "Hello?" Misao repeated. | |
293 | |
294 "Oh! Hi, Misao," Sasami said quickly. She leaned down, picking up her | |
295 discarded blouse. | |
296 | |
297 "Sasami? How are you? I was worried about you…" Misao said softly. | |
298 Sasami fell back on her bed, a blush on her cheeks and a smile on her lips. | |
299 | |
300 "Thanks, Misao. I'm just fine. Actually, I was worried about you." | |
301 | |
302 "Me?" the purple haired girl asked in surprise. | |
303 | |
304 Sasami giggled. "Yeah. Don't worry about it. I'd protect you if anything | |
305 happened, anyway," she said, her voice suddenly sounding serious. She | |
306 promised to herself she wouldn't let anything happen to her friend. If she | |
307 wasn't Pretty Sammy, then her friend wouldn't be in such danger. Misao never | |
308 would've been used as Pixy Misa. She owed it to her friend to watch out for | |
309 her. And she couldn't live with herself if anything happened to Misao. | |
310 "Thank you, Sasami," Misao said after a short pause. "I really | |
311 hope you're doing better." | |
312 | |
313 "Yeah, I am. I got some sleep after I got home. I feel a lot better," | |
314 Sasami replied. | |
315 | |
316 "That's great. You were acting kind of strange," Misao said | |
317 concernedly. | |
318 | |
319 Sasami sat up on the bed, crossing her legs. "Strange?" she asked | |
320 worriedly. 'Am I acting strange around her? Did she notice I was?' | |
321 | |
322 "I think you were probably just tired," Misao said thoughtfully. | |
323 | |
324 "Yeah, that was it," Sasami agreed hurriedly. 'That was all it was, | |
325 right?' | |
326 | |
327 "I'm sorry, Sasami. I have to go," the blue haired girl could hear | |
328 the regret in Misao's voice. | |
329 | |
330 "That's okay. I'll see you tomorrow, Misao. Maybe we can go someplace | |
331 after school," Sasami said hopefully. | |
332 | |
333 "I'd like that," Misao answered happily. | |
334 | |
335 "It's a date, then," Sasami heard herself say. She blushed as soon as | |
336 the words were out of her mouth. | |
337 | |
338 "Sure. Bye, Sasami!" Misao said, seeming not to notice her friend's | |
339 odd behavior. | |
340 | |
341 "Sleep well, Misao," the blue haired girl said reluctantly. "I | |
342 love you," she added as an afterthought. | |
343 | |
344 "What?" | |
345 | |
346 "Nothing! Nothing! Umm… Goodnight, Misao!" Sasami hung up the phone | |
347 quickly before she could say anything else. After a glance at the phone, she tossed | |
348 it to the side as if it were diseased. "What's going on?" she said | |
349 aloud. | |
350 | |
351 The next day.... | |
352 | |
353 "Sure you can ask me anything Sasami." | |
354 | |
355 "Thank you Mihoshi. What do you do when you love someone but you aren't | |
356 sure if they love you in the same way?" | |
357 | |
358 "Love? Oh! I'm SO happy for you Sasami! Who is it? Has he said anything | |
359 to you? Have you two gone out on a date yet?" | |
360 | |
361 "I'd rather not say who it is now and not for the other two. Would you please | |
362 answer my question." | |
363 | |
364 "What question was that?" | |
365 | |
366 "What do you do when you love someone but you aren't sure if they love you | |
367 in the same way?" | |
368 | |
369 "Oh. Well I'm not." Mihoshi stopped in midsentence when she heard the door | |
370 knob turn and the door start to open. Reflex had taken over when she reached for | |
371 her gun and had it armed and ready, aimed for the spot right beside the door. | |
372 "FREEZE!" Ever since her and Kiyone had been robbed while they were sleeping, | |
373 she has been training hard and improving her senses. | |
374 | |
375 "Mihoshi, it's me, Kiyone. Now put the gun down." | |
376 | |
377 "Sorry Kiyone. Did you have any luck?" | |
378 | |
379 "No. Neither I nor the police have been able to find anything. I honestly don't | |
380 think that we'll see any of that stuff agian." | |
381 | |
382 "At least none of our stuff for the store was stolen." Mihoshi then returned | |
383 her attention back to Sasami. "As I was saying, I'm not sure what to do. I would | |
384 tell that person how I felt and then do something special for them." | |
385 | |
386 "What are you guys talking about?" inquired Kiyone. | |
387 | |
388 "Little Sasami here is in love. She wants to know what to do so she came here | |
389 to ask for advice. Do you have any Kiyone?" | |
390 | |
391 "Sasami all I, or anyone else for that matter, can tell you is to do what your | |
392 heart tells you to do. The only other thing we can do is give you ideas." | |
393 | |
394 "Thank you Mihoshi. Thank you Kiyone. I'll tell you how it turns out." With | |
395 that Sasami left. Still as confused about her situation as ever. | |
396 | |
397 As she walked down the street she heard a load explosion to her left. She ran | |
398 as fast as she could to the next cross section and looked to her left. There were | |
399 flames and smoke everywhere. | |
400 | |
401 Sasami looked around her and saw that no one was around. "Pretty Mutation | |
402 Magical Recall!" A bright flash of light engulfed Sasami and out came Pretty | |
403 Sammy. | |
404 | |
405 At the scene of the explosion.... | |
406 | |
407 "Where the hell is Pretty Sammy!" Ramia shouted. | |
408 | |
409 "What do you want, Ramia?" | |
410 | |
411 "Ah, Pretty Sammy. I want you to DIE!" | |
412 | |
413 Sasami sweatdropped. She really didn’t need this, especially not now. She was | |
414 having enough trouble with her love life to worry about a maniacal magical person | |
415 trying to kill her. “Is there anyway we could possibly do this some other time?” the | |
416 blue haired girl asked pleadingly. | |
417 | |
418 Ramia furrowed her brow angrily. “How dare you mock me, Pretty Sammy. | |
419 For that I’ll have to make sure your death is drawn out. And very painful.” | |
420 | |
421 The magical girl sighed. Things just never could be easy for her, could they? | |
422 Pulling her wand up in front of her, she prepared for the attack. A flash of light | |
423 appeared in Ramia’s hand, quickly hurtling her way. The blue haired magical girl | |
424 raised her wand in the air. “Pretty Coquettish Bomber!!” Energy surrounded | |
425 Sasami as she used her strongest attack, trying to force her concentration on this | |
426 rather than a certain dark haired girl that had been the focus of her thoughts as of | |
427 late. The attack flew straight at the red headed woman. Sasami smiled | |
428 triumphantly, but the victory was short lived. Sasami’s smile faded away as she | |
429 saw her attack rather than hit the magical woman, head right through her. Her | |
430 mind reeled with the implication. “And illusion?” Sasami whirled around, her | |
431 eyes wide in horror, but it was too late. | |
432 | |
433 “Die.” Ramia grinned, energy lashing out at the bane of her existence. She would | |
434 finally get what she wanted, the end of Pretty Sammy. | |
435 | |
436 Sasami stood trapped like a deer in headlights, the energy seeming to move in slow | |
437 motion towards her. She closed her eyes tightly, her arms going in front of her in | |
438 reflex. She knew it would do her no good, but she also knew there was nothing she | |
439 could do. Before the blast could hit, two arms wrapped around her waist and leapt | |
440 off with her. The energy hit right were Sasami had been standing. Her eyes slowly | |
441 opened when she realized she was still alive. She took a deep breath, her hands | |
442 going across her body, making sure she was okay. Looking up to her rescuer, she | |
443 was shocked by the sight. The girl was slightly taller than her, long feathery | |
444 blonde hair falling to around her shoulders. Sasami could feel some of the dark | |
445 purple, almost black leather of the girl’s costume against her. The girl’s hands | |
446 were still around her waist, holding her close. The background seemed to fade | |
447 away for Sasami, everything gone except this beautiful girl that rescued her. | |
448 ‘Misao and Pixy Misa are the same person. She must really care about me, too, | |
449 then.’ The thought that Misao had come to her rescue in a sense sent a tingle up | |
450 and down Sasami’s spine. Before she knew what she was doing, the blue haired | |
451 magical girl leaned forward, her soft lips brushing against her rescuers. That | |
452 moment, those soft lips against her own, the whole moment felt truly wonderful. It | |
453 was more magical than anything magic she’d done as Pretty Sammy. | |
454 | |
455 Pixy Misa’s eyes went wide as saucers as she felt Pretty Sammy kiss her. She froze, | |
456 unsure of what to do for once in her life as Misao’s other personality. Her hands | |
457 tensed against Sammy’s sides, but that just spurred the blue haired girl on, making | |
458 her kiss the blonde deeper. Misa’s eyes started to fall closed, not knowing how to | |
459 stop what was happening. Not wanting to. Misa barely shook herself from her | |
460 trance in time to drag Sasami out of the way of another attack. The blonde feigned | |
461 anger as she turned to the blue haired girl, too confused by what had happened to | |
462 actually deal with it right now. “What are you trying to do, Sammy? Get us killed? | |
463 You want to kiss, you wait till we’re not about to die. That does put a damper on | |
464 my plans for the day, you know.” | |
465 | |
466 Sasami looked down, blushing profusely. What had she just done? Why? She just | |
467 hadn’t been able to help herself. It had felt so good, so right. Even if this was her | |
468 former rival, she was just as much in love with her as Misao. They were the same | |
469 person, even if she did act differently as them. “Sorry…” she said sadly, barely in a | |
470 whisper. | |
471 | |
472 The blonde grinned reassuringly. “Worry about it later, Sammy. And if we do | |
473 make it out of this alive, maybe I’ll let you try again.” She winked, drawing a | |
474 blush from the blue haired girl. She laughed as she looked around for Ramia. She | |
475 always did enjoy teasing the other magical girl. As long as she didn’t have to | |
476 worry about the implications of the kiss. It wasn’t half bad. Kinda good, actually.. | |
477 Misa’s mind started to wander back to it before she spotted her former master. | |
478 “Pixy Sexy Fire!!” She yelled, the blast flying towards Ramia. | |
479 | |
480 Ramia faded out of the way just in time. Reappearing further off, she scowled. | |
481 “You traitor! I’ll kill you as well.” After a moment, she added, “The next time we | |
482 meet.” She turned around, fading away again. | |
483 | |
484 | |
485 The two magical girls stood in silence for a long moment. Now that the battle was | |
486 over and done with, Sammy’s little kiss earlier came to the surface in both of their | |
487 thoughts. Pretty Sammy turned to Pixy Misa, hoping to find out what the blonde | |
488 girl thought of it. But Misa had a trump card to play. Besides, this wasn’t her | |
489 problem. She was the happy outgoing one. She’d let her other side deal with it, | |
490 even if she wouldn’t remember. Dipping backwards, the leather clad magical girl | |
491 fainted. | |
492 | |
493 Shifting back to normal from Pretty Sammy, Sasami sighed miserably. It figured | |
494 that it would turn out like this. Things never could be easy, could they? Of course, | |
495 Tsunami wouldn’t have chosen her as the earth’s champion if she didn’t believe in | |
496 her. But then again, this scenario probably wasn’t something she’d been chosen | |
497 for. “Misao-chan? Misao-chan, are you alright?” Sasami asked, shaking her friend | |
498 softly. | |
499 | |
500 “Hmm?” Misao blinked her aquamarine eyes tiredly, trying to focus. It took her a | |
501 moment before she could make out Sasami’s worried face looking down at her. | |
502 “Sasami-chan? Owww….” She held her head as she tried to sit up but Sasami | |
503 pushed her back down. | |
504 | |
505 “Wait until you feel better first. I don’t want you to hurt any more than you already | |
506 do. I know how sick you can get.” Sasami bit her lip as she watched her dark | |
507 haired best friend lying on the floor with a pained look on her face. She really | |
508 wished there was something she could do about Misao’s poor health. They had | |
509 first met when Sasami had helped her get to the nurse’s office. Even after all this | |
510 time, it still scared her to see the poor girl wracked with pain like that. | |
511 | |
512 “I love you, too.” | |
513 | |
514 “What?” Was her mind playing tricks on her? She had just heard Misao mutter | |
515 something, right? She really needed more sleep after all of the running around | |
516 she’d been doing lately. All this stress really wasn’t good for her. She was likely to | |
517 crack soon at this rate. “Did you say something?” | |
518 | |
519 Misao shook her head quickly, rolling onto her side. A scarlet blush colored her | |
520 pale cheeks as she looked off. “No, I didn’t say anything, Sasami-chan. I didn’t say | |
521 anything at all.” The nervous butterflies feeling in her stomach was so bad that she | |
522 thought she was going to be sick. She closed her eyes as the setting sun started to | |
523 hurt them. She wished that Sasami would just take her home soon so everything | |
524 could go back to the depressing way of things. Then she wouldn’t have to worry | |
525 about these things at the very least and that sick feeling would go away. Her eyes | |
526 fluttered open as a pair of arms encircled her waist and helped prop her up. Pretty | |
527 pink eyes and cute freckles along with a little light blue at the corners of her vision | |
528 greeted her. Her blush grew deeper as Sasami looked deeply at her. ‘She smells | |
529 wonderful. I feel so warm and safe in her arms. I always do. I wish she’d never let | |
530 go.’ Internally pushing those thoughts away, she continued thinking to herself. ‘I | |
531 hope she does let go soon. Otherwise I don’t think I’ll be able to pretend | |
532 everything’s the way it used to be. I don’t know if I could handle anymore | |
533 changes.’ | |
534 | |
535 Sasami noticed Misao stiffening up in her grasp after a moment. ‘Why’s she so | |
536 nervous all of a sudden? She was starting to relax just a moment ago. Am I scaring | |
537 her?’ Shaking her head, Sasami never took her eyes away from Misao’s big, | |
538 frightened aquamarine ones. Her soft body barely moved, feeling like a scared little | |
539 animal in her arms. Misao’s breathing was very slow, as if she was trying to not | |
540 bring any attention to herself. ‘If I heard right, she must be scared about the whole | |
541 thing. She’s always been kinda sad. And with how things are, this could risk | |
542 losing her best friend and what we already have. I’m not risking much because I | |
543 know she’ll understand. I know she’ll stay my friend. I know… So why am I so | |
544 worried?’ the blue haired girl thought to herself. “Misao-chan?” One hand went | |
545 higher up Misao’s back as she brought her into a better sitting position. | |
546 | |
547 Misao swallowed nervously and nodded in acknowledgement. “Hai, Sasami- | |
548 chan?” | |
549 | |
550 Licking her dry lips, Sasami tried to voice what was in her heart. “Misao-chan, | |
551 you’re my very best friend. You’ve always been there for me and I can’t remember | |
552 ever being happier than when I’m with you. I don’t want to fight against you | |
553 because I care too much about you. You’re very important to me. I just want to be | |
554 with you always. Misao-chan, I love you.” | |
555 | |
556 Misao’s cheeks went a deep shade of crimson as words caught in her throat. She | |
557 was always so lonely, a scared little girl alone in the dark. But Sasami always filled | |
558 up that darkness for her. She took away that deep loneliness. She was the only real | |
559 important thing in her life. She was her reason to keep going, her reason to hope | |
560 when all seemed lost, her reason to look toward tomorrow when her mother wasn’t | |
561 going to be home and she had cram school to get to. But all that came out was a | |
562 meek, “I love you, too.” That was enough. | |
563 | |
564 Sasami’s face lit up as she hugged Misao tightly. “Oh, Misao-chan!” A warm | |
565 feeling quickly surpassed any nervous ones that had been inside her as the girl in | |
566 her arms began to hug her back. All of her unfounded worries and the torment this | |
567 had caused her all melted away in the beautiful dark haired girls hands. She felt | |
568 Misao bury her head against the crook of her neck, an altogether pleasant | |
569 sensation. She held her close, still on her knees. | |
570 | |
571 Close to tears, Misao clutched onto Sasami like a life preserver in the choppy | |
572 waters of her life. But now she could feel some of her faith returning. Things | |
573 would work out. Because no matter what happened, she’d be with Sasami. | |
574 Whatever else got thrown in her way wouldn’t matter as long as she could be in | |
575 her arms. “Thank you so much, Sasami-chan. I never thought..” | |
576 | |
577 Sasami cut her off with a soft kiss, her eyes closed as she relished the soft feel of | |
578 Misao’s lips against her own. The dark haired girl just sat there shocked for a | |
579 moment, Sasami’s cheeks reddening in embarrassment. | |
580 | |
581 No longer able to form coherent thought and drowning in a sea of emotion, Misao | |
582 returned the kiss. Yes, everything would be alright from now on. ‘Just never let me | |
583 go. Never set me free from you.’ | |
584 | |
