	As Geralt finished off the miserable butcher, Sakura averted her eyes entirely. She didn't want to see the little boy who was a witcher on the inside stab someone. But she did have to hear it, and it made her queasy. Sakura didn't like killing people because she believed that people with power should aim to do right with their power. But right now, they were powerless. And they were all being abused. Maybe even she was running low on her sympathy batteries for the day. She'd seen so much death these last couple of days, more than she'd ever seen in her life. She had managed to turn on survival mode in this instance. 
	
	Bella was in a bad way, even after rescuing Sakura and Rika it was clear something was wrong with her. Crying, sobbing, apologizing, Sakura could barely get a word as the poor girl had a mental break down right infront of her. And her body was all swollen and overweight, which could not have felt good. Having your body get changed like that was just horrible. 

	[color=f49ac2]"It- it's okay! It's all right!"[/color] Sakura frantically tried to reassure her friend.[color=f49ac2] "You- you saved us! You saved us, Bella-san! It's just the curse, it's not your fault!" 
[/color]

	Sakura glanced around nervously. [color=f49ac2]"Bella-sa~n it's okay! You saved us!"[/color] She just kept repeating it over and over like it made anything better. She tried to switch subjects. [color=f49ac2]"And it's not so bad looking like that! I wanted to be a sumo wrestler when I was growing up! Crap, you don't know what that is!" [/color] Sakura held her hands against the side of her head. She was so tired! Why do bad things have to keep happening?!

	The universe answered her question by granting her another bad thing to happen. Some wizards came up and fired a projectile. Sakura froze up, and Bella jumped infront of all of them. Sakura gasped in horror as Bella turned into [color=f49ac2][i]"EBI NO TEMPURAAAA?! EEEEH?!"[/i][/color]

	Sakura shouted, baffled. [color=f49ac2]"Nooo!"[/color] She ran forward as one of the wizards, with his creepy mouth-eye, went to gobble her friend up whole. [color=f49ac2]"Big shrimp! She's a big shrimp! Shrimp! [i]Shriiimp![/i]" [/color] She wailed unhelpfully. Mirage, Peach, Bowser, several minions and some other of her friends went to go help by battling the bad guys. All Sakura could do was drag her shrimp friend away from those who wanted to eat her for lunch. 

	[color=f49ac2]"Where are we going? Where's the escape route?"[/color] Sakura shouted. Thankfully, fried shrimp did not weigh that much. In the mean time, just getting Bella away from the Tempura Wizards was good enough for Sakura. Being eaten while in shrimp form was probably the worst way to die. And Sakura thinks that after almost being boiled alive. Being eaten while a shrimp is- is a joke death! It's humiliating! Sakura wasn't going to let that happen to her friend! Bella seemed to care about Sakura a lot, and it made Sakura's heart hurt. She wanted to do right by the Abyssals. [color=f49ac2]"Be careful, Rika-chan!"[/color] She shouted, thinking of the other friend she gained during that battle that was only yesterday. 

	Once again helplessness and frustration racked her body like she was being struck by lightning. Her entire body trembled. Or maybe it was just her being totally exhausted and starving to death. Peach was right, this really was the worst. The worst day of Sakura's life.
