The hospital parking lot was busy as it always was lately. Flu season meant more sick people and hypochondriacs with enough animal-related diseases to make the place a circus. But what made it even worse was somebody had smashed all the streetlights in the lot, and they only finished cleaning up the glass. Shortly after the Mika had parted ways, a pair of paramedics were heading back in an empty ambulance for the end of their shift. Suddenly a mysterious bright white smoke cloud appeared floating in front of their windshield, simultaneously catching both of their attention, as they ended up following it and pulling up to the hospital sidewalk. Seeing her bloody friend lying near the door as a mysterious bright light shined on her. The strangeness was then ignored as they immediately sprung into action and went to help Kiyoko. The light and smoke vanishing when they had brought her inside the emergency room for urgent care. Eshu was able to peer through the open window to confirm they had found her a room. Able to take her in right away and finding Kiyoko’s name with her school ID and contacting her relatives. 

But Eshu wasn't done yet. Holding his stick up high as the light from the two lanterns fused together and beamed straight into the air, creating a signal that was only visible to those that possessed the light.

For the better I'm sure.”[/i][/color] Holding his stick closer as the lanterns dimmed to a mere flicker, his concern reflected back in the window. [i][color=f49ac2]“I fear the demons activity hasn't been as significant tonight. Which means they may be onto us and trying to hide from our light. Lurking and waiting amidst the shadows — planning for a darker time to strike.”[/color][/i] His eyes slowly scanned the whole place, the darkness surrounded him. A sharp gust of wind blew by that sounded more like cackling laughter. Malevolence was in the air. His assistance was no longer needed here, so he quickly flew off to handle unfinished business.

He watched the red flashing sirens from the skies above. Multiple police cars had parked besides the school grounds, with officers exiting their vehicles and heading into the garden. [i][color=f49ac2] “I wonder if this is her doing...or it could be somebody else that had gotten suspicious. Suppose it doesn’t matter, since nothing traces back to her. Now, best check up on my newest hero.”[/color][/i]

One moment can both save a life and kill her phone’s battery. Hearing more than the familiar creak of her house’s gate unleashed as she stepped through it. The chirping crickets couldn’t compare to the loudness drumming in her head. Approaching her the porch didn’t provide the same sense of normalcy that was there yesterday. Her thoughts would be hard to keep closed, like leaving the “welcome mat key’ stuck inside the knob. Perhaps the reason was right under her nose, the smell of blood overwhelming the squash scented air freshener she was usually greeted with when opening the door. Taking a hot shower wouldn’t wash away what was deeper than skin, and returning to her bedroom wouldn’t help kept her sheltered from the outside darkness. But it would prove to be a blessing in disguise that she didn’t live alone as it provided her a dose of comfort akin to a morphine shot, that let her heart rate slow before crashing onto the bed. Magical girl or no, her limitations were reached and she needed her sleep...

[color=f49ac2]“Rest and have peaceful dreams…”[/color] A whisper coming from a soft smile that frowned slightly. [i][color=f49ac2]“For tomorrow will have enough nightmares that you'll need to fight…”[/color][/i]
