Here and There

Summary:

When Mima took in her first and only apprentice, her Master's final lesson finally clicked.

Notes:

Inspired by the song Karmanations by Akatsuki Records.

Work Text:

Over here, over there, Miracles are Everywhere.


She stared down from her spot, floating in the air, at the small blond girl wearing a black witchy outfit and holding something like someone had stuck a star-shaped cookie on a rod, then glazed them in caramelized sugar.

"Um... Excuse me! I'm- I'm Marisa! Can you teach me your Magic? Please?"


Back then, right now, Reincarnations are Everyday.


Her Master chanted with her as she brushed her flowing green hair.

"Acchi!" Stars flew.

"Kocchi!" Balls orbited.

She laughed in joy of discovering the wonders of Magic.


No matter what, Tomorrow is Another Day.


She floated down to the girl's eye level, her hands already patting down the ruffles in the young girl's clothes.

"Sure. My name is Mima."


Don't look back, it's already a Brand New World.


"Marisa-sama!"

"Don't worry Mima-chan, I jus- KOFGH!..." A splash of blood spilled onto the floor. "Overexerted myself."


Ever continuing, the Cycle of Repetition.


She held the hand of the young girl, guiding her through the motions.

"Do we have to do this to do Magic?"

"No." She choked. "But it's important for other reasons."


If I were to Sleep, Someone would Wake.


She brushed the long golden locks of her bedridden Master, eyes bleary with tears.

"Please, don't leave me, Marisa-sama..."

"Heh... What are you saying? Kohgk! I'm not leaving you."


And so, because we know Tomorrow and Overmorrow will come,


"Acchi!" Lasers hummed.

"Kocchi!" Stars barraged.

The small girl laughed in joy of discovering the wonders of Magic.


Live and Experience the World with this fast, new Era.


"MARISA-SAMA!!!"

But her Master would never hear her again.

"I'LL KILL YOU! □□□□□! I SWEAR ON MY SOUL I'LL KILL YOU!!!"


Breathe for Tomorrow's sake, for the Future's sake.


"Mima-sama?"

She stared at her flickering hands, and her staff clattering against the ground.

"Ah... it seems... this is the limit... of my Grudge against Humanity..."


And leave a bouquet behind for the bygone past.


She floated over her own dead body, over a mountain of other, just as dead, corpses.

"Damn it... Damn it all..."

The rain fell through her upturned face, mixed with the blood, and painted the grass red.

"Damn humanity..."


Acchi... Kocchi...
