I’m home
“I wish to erase all witches from existence before they born.
Every witch in the universe, from the past and the future, with my own
hands.” Her wish that’d been granted and
the new world had been created. And in result, her existence had been erased.
No one remember her in this whole new world.
Though she successfully erase every witch but there are still
“demon” who bring despair to human. I’ve been living to fight these “demon” to
protect this world, this world that she wanted to protect.
But as time pass by, I felt lonely. Although Mami and Kyoko
will assist me from time to time. But that’s not what I need, what I need is
not someone to fight along with me, but what I need is her.
A girl who sacrifice herself to protect all the other
Mahou
Shoujo.
A girl who’s kind to everyone no matter who or what they are.
A girl name Kaname Madoka.
Madoka, you promise that we’ll meet again right? But when is
it gonna happen? Madoka…
It’s been a year since she has disappeared, I am starting to
get tired of this life. Life is hard without you. I really wish that you could
call my name right now, and show me the gentle smile of yours. I really miss
you.
“Akemi Homura.” Suddenly someone
called my name.
A small figure is standing in front of
me. Somehow that figure seems familiar.
Again that figure spoke to me.
“Akemi Homura, do you really wanted to
meet Kaname Madoka?”
I try to approach that figure. When
I’m about to reach that figure, it run off. But wait, that figure… I know him! I know that figure! It’s Kyubey!!
Although it’s quite dark but I’m sure that’s Kyubey. But somehow it looks
different. Because the Kyubey I know it’s white, but this one is black.
I use my Time Stop Magic to stop him
from running away.
*Ka ching*
My surrounding has stop, but wait, how come he still running?
My magic…. It’s useless against him? It’s the first time ever that my Time Stop
magic won’t work against other… This Kyubey it’s not the Kyubey I know. I can
assure that.
I continue to chase him through the
city, the hospital, the school, and finally the place… Where Madoka sacrifice
herself… This place… I try to avoid it because this place will always remind me
of how she sacrifice herself…
Finally he stopped running. And he
started to speak to me.
“Akemi Homura, the time magic user,
finally I found you.”
“You’re not Kyubey aren’t you?” I
asked him.
“Kyubey? Oh, that Kyubey. Though I look
like him but I’m not. You can say that I’m same as him because we’re Incubator
but we’re not living in the same place. It’s like you earthling, we have our
own country. He’s at the north, I’m at the south. If is in your language.”
Another Incubator. Why there’s another
Incubator come here. But hold on… Madoka… Did he just say Madoka just now we
met? On the moment I realize this I quickly ask him.
“Madoka… Kaname Madoka… You just said
her name right? How come you can remember her? I mean, everyone in this
universe, even Kyubey has forgotten her. But why can you still remember her… What are you actually…?”
“I’m just another Incubator like I
said just now. But why can I still remember Madoka it’s not the question right
now. My purpose here is to cooperate with you Akemi Homura. Of course, if
you’re willing to cooperate with me I’ll grant you your wish. Your impossible
wish to that even miracle can’t make it come true. You know it clearly right?”
What? He just said he can grant my
wish? To bring back Madoka to this world? That very moment that I’ve been waiting
can finally come true? Without thinking too much I ask him…
“Is it true that you can bring her
back to this world, this universe?”
“We incubator doesn’t know how to lie
to people, we only speak out the truth. Just like Kyubey, he didn’t lie to you
even once right?”
It’s true that Kyubey didn’t lie to us
even once, it’s just that we didn’t ask him about the details so he skip the
whole Mahou Shoujo contract explanation to us when we first became Mahou
Shoujo.
Without second thought I decided to take this chance to bring
Madoka back. And so I’ve decided to trust him. I ask him again.
“Okay then, what you want me to do for
you?”
“Good question Akemi Homura. Well you see, “Demon” starting
to decrease now a day thanks to you Mahou Shoujo. But if “Demon” is starting to
decrease, which means Grief Cube is no exception. Those Grief Cube you provide
us is not enough to produce energy for our planet right now. But we discover a
new energy resource. Which is those Soul Gem you Mahou Shoujo own. So if you’re
willing to help us to collect it, I’ll bring back Kaname Madoka to this world.
Of course, I won’t take yours since you help us.”
I’ve been stunned by his words the
moment he said collecting Soul Gem. Collecting Soul Gem from other Mahou Shoujo
is same as killing them. Soul Gem is our soul. If I help him which means I have
to kill other Mahou Shoujo. And that means I have to destroy Madoka’s wish.
Even I bring back Madoka I’m sure she won’t be happy for it.
“I’m sorry. I can’t help you with this.” I replied.
“I see. Too bad then. You should know that I’m the only one
who can bring Madoka back to this world right? But since you reject my offer I’ll
find other Mahou Shoujo. Don’t blame me if you get kill in the future. I’ll see
you again in the future if you’re still alive Akemi Homura. Good bye.”
By the time he has finish his word I take out my gun and
point at him and said.
“You think I’m going to let you off with this? You think I’m
going to let you kill other Mahou Shoujo? I’ll protect Madoka’s final wish no
matter what. Even the world turn against me I’ll face them. I won’t rely on
other anymore.”
*Bang*
The moment I finish my line I shoot him. Without letting him
to run away from me.
“I won’t rely on other anymore…” How long I never say this
phrase? Hahaha. But then I started to realize that maybe he’s really the only
hope to bring back Madoka…
Oh what am I thinking right now? I guess I’ve fail to protect
Madoka’s wish the moment I think this way…
Suddenly the sky is getting dark. Winds starting to blow and
rain’s pouring down heavily. Somehow my eye is getting wet too. But how come?
It’s not from the rain, it’s inside my eyes. I can feel that something is
coming out from my eyes. I touch my eyes and I realize it’s my tear. I’m
crying? Wow… How long I’ve been holding actually? Since the day you gone I only
cried once. And when you said we’ll meet again in the future I really put up my
hope to live. I always tell myself that I must live till the day we meet again.
But Madoka… One year has passed. How long you want me to wait? I can’t live
like this forever right? I can’t hold on anymore…
“Uwaahhhh!! Finally I cry out. I let go all my sadness within
me. It’s really hard to keep your sadness inside you for so long.
“MADOKA!!!!!” I shout out with all my
might. It’s like my voice will break out anytime.
Suddenly I felt so pain in my heart.
What? I look at my Soul Gem. It’s getting darker? But that’s impossible…
Madoka’s wish had erased the existence of every witch. We Mahou Shoujo can’t
turn into witch anymore no matter how despair we are. But why? Why my Soul Gem
is getting darker?
Madoka… I think I can’t keep our promise anymore…I’m turning
into witch I guess… Haha… How miserable I am right now… If you’re around here
right now… I hope that you can kill me straight away, with your own hand…
Before I turn into witch and destroy your wish…
Madoka… I hope that we could become friends again in the
afterlife…
My vision is starting to get blur. I
guess I have to end up this way… Turning into witch? Haha… I’m sorry Madoka…
…………
“Don’t give up! Homura chan!”
Suddenly I heard some voice.
I give everything I
got and I open my eyes. Everything beside me has turn into white. My pain. It’s
gone. But how? I look at my Soul Gem, it’s starting purify itself. And suddenly
I feel so comfortable right now. It’s like some angel is standing beside me.
And again, the voices speak to me.
“We finally meet
Homura chan.”
This voice… It’s sound so familiar… This voice… There’s no
doubt! It’s her voice! It’s Madoka’s voice!
“Madoka! Madoka is it you!? I’m… I’m not dreaming am I?”
The moment I finish my word I feel like someone is hugging me
from behind.
“Homura chan, it’s been awhile.”
I turn to my back. The moment I sees
who’s behind me, my tear has fall down again. But this time it’s not the tear
of sadness. It’s the tear of joy. Because what’s in front of me it’s a girl who
I’ve been longing to meet. It’s Madoka. It’s really Madoka.
“Madoka? Is this really you, Madoka?
I’m not dreaming am I?” I asked this question again.
“Homura chan, I’m really Madoka.
You’re not dreaming Homura chan. Sorry for taking it so long Homura chan.” She keeps
on repeating my name while she replied. And I can that she’s crying too, but
it’s the same as me, tears that full of joy.
“It’s over right? You won’t disappear
anymore right?” I keep on asking because I really afraid of losing her again…
“Yes Homura chan… Yes… From now on I’ll
stay by your side forever… I won’t disappear anymore… You won’t have to be
alone anymore… And you don’t have to rely on no one anymore…”
But how? I just killed the black
Kyubey. The only one who could bring her back.
“You know what? It’s all thanks to
Kyubey. But somehow that Kyubey seems different. I mean the Kyubey we know is
white but his body is black.” She says.
“He suddenly appeared in front of me and says that you have
overcome the trial. This world has finally got its peace and there’s no more
necessary for us Mahou Shoujo to fight anymore. He’ll erase every “Demon” and
restore my existence to this world.” She continued.
I see. So that black Kyubey still
granted my wish I guess. But what is he? Why is he helping us? What is his
purpose? I keep on questioning myself.
Suddenly Madoka hug me from behind and
ask why am I spacing out?
Yeah, what for questioning myself so
much? What’s important right now is Madoka has finally come back. It’s more
than enough.
“Nothing.” I replied. Then I turn
around to kiss her cheek.
“Nyihihi.” She laughed.
“It’s embarrassing Homura chan.” She
says it with her cheeks all red.
“But thank you.” She says it with a gentle smile on her face.
Then she kissed my cheek too, as gently as she could.
I feel so embarrass when she kiss me. But I give her a smile
when she kissed me.
I hold her hand after she kiss me and I started to walk.
“Where are we going?” She asked.
“Hmm… Maybe Mami or Sakura’s place. Or who knows maybe black
Kyubey has bring Sayaka back to life the moment he bring you back here.” I
replied.
“But… As long you’re with me, it doesn’t matter where’re we
heading to right?” I continued.
“En.” A huge smile comes from her when
she heard that.
“Oh, and Madoka.”
“What is it Homura chan?”
I turn to her and say it with a gentle
smile.
“Welcome back. Madoka. My beloved best friend”
And again her tear falls the moment I say that.
“En. I’m home. Homura
chan. My beloved best friend”
