Yuna was laying at the service platform of a cellphone tower that was located right behind the highschool that Miso City's senior magical girls frequented, listening to a mix of European alt music that she picked up here and there, she couldn't understand a single word of it of course, but music isn't about the words anyway and these songs were the kind that soothed her soul. The wind blew mighty atop the forty meters tower and its gentle caress seemed to lull Yuna into an early nap.

The Contractor was balancing unnaturally at one of the support wires, standing motionless even in face of the considerable wind, [b]"Yuna Yukino, wouldn't it be easier if you met them at the school grounds? We don't understand why you humans always choose the most contrived ways to deal with a problem. Why is it so hard to just say what you're thinking without using roundabout ways?"[/b]

[color=bc8dbf]"But none of us has ever expected you to understand it, my dear Contractor."[/color]

The unknown voice surprised Yuna, [color=00ffff]"When..."[/color] the frost magical girl began to say before she was interrupted by the other girl.

[color=bc8dbf]"Did I get here? If the question is that, my answer is, just a while ago, in fact."[/color] Came the the answer from dark haired girl sitting atop the antenna that was directly above Yuna.

[b]"Chiyo Kuroke, we didn't felt your presence. Do you have any business with Yuna Yukino, per chance?"[/b] The contractor asked, all the while keeping his tiny little eyes on the commotion around the school gates. It wasn't even hard to guess at what it was doing right now.

[color=bc8dbf]"Actually no, I just noticed an unknown magic signature nearby and came to check on it, that's all. Are you scouting new candidates again? You know that they won't allow you go in there and make more girls at their school into magical girls, don't you?"[/color] Chiyo answered the Contractor's question and immediately placed one of her own.

[b]"Actually not, now at least. We're just curious, how come only a single place hold so much potential? It's like many threads of fate are converging here, perhaps this place will become the stage for something much greater in the future."[/b]

[color=bc8dbf]"Indeed this place is rather unusual, but I'd say that its more about the ones that frequent it than about the building per se."[/color] Chiyo commented as she finally stood up when she saw Akame arriving at the school. She straightened her skirt before turning and throwing a school bag at Yuna's feet, [color=bc8dbf]"However, pulling the strings of fate a little once in a while isn't bad either. It was pleasure meeting you, Yukino-san, I hope we can become more acquainted in the future."[/color] Chiyo said before jumping from the tower and inconspicuously joining the waves of students going in the school's direction.

[b]"What are you going to do now, Yuna Yukino?"[/b] The Contractor asked, turning to face Yuna for the first time since they arrived at the tower.

[color=00ffff]"I guess that I don't that much of a choice now, do I? That girl went even through the trouble of getting me a fake student ID, that's only lacking a photo."[/color] Yuna said as she picked up the things that Chiyo dropped besides her and placed the photo of her old student ID on the fake one. After that, Yuna stuffed her belongings inside the school bag and began changing clothes there on spot, wondering how Chiyo could even guess her measurements so accurately. However, when she noticed that the Contractor's gaze was still turned in her direction, just as she was removing her shorts, Yuna said, [color=00ffff]"Could you please turn around, you creep?"[/color]

[b]"We'll truly never understand you humans..."[/b] The Contractor said, exasperated, as he turned to face the gate again.

To say that Akame was surprised when she found Yuna not only inside the school, but also wearing one of their uniforms after going on one of her self-imposed pilgrimages a year and a half ago, would be an understatement at the very least. [color=00ffff]"It's been a long time, Akame..."[/color] Yuna said, taking off her headphones, just as the Contractor that was on her shoulder jumped to the floor and climbed Akame's body before resting on her right shoulder.
