Homura's Revenge! Chapter 5
The chapter opens with Madoka and Sayaka on the hill with Madoka asking why Sayaka became a magical girl, especially after what happened to Mami. Sayaka says that she had a wish she wanted granted and that she wanted to avenge Mami. Sayaka says that with Mami gone someone would take Mitakihara and leave people to die for the sake of grief seeds, just like Homura. Madoka says that isn't true and that Homura is doing her best to save them, but Sayaka doesn't believe her. She yells that it's Homura's fault that Mami died and that Madoka shouldn't trust someone she just met. After Sayaka calms herself down, she leaves to visit Kyosuke. As she walks, Kyubey meets up with her and introduces her to Kyoko.
The scene cuts to Madoka and Homura talking in a café. Madoka says that Sayaka really hates Homura, and Homura agrees. As Madoka begins blaming herself for all of this happening, Homura stops her and says it's not her fault. Homura then states that Madoka should distance herself from Homura since it will only cause more distrust between Madoka and Sayaka. Madoka asks if that is what Homura wants, since nobody is willing to realize what Homura is trying to do. Homura says that it's always been that way, but at least Madoka sees her efforts this time.
Some time later, Madoka meets with Sayaka and Kyubey outside of Sayaka's house and asks if she can join Sayaka on her Witch hunt, and Sayaka is surprised. Madoka flashes back to something Homura said to her, that Madoka should keep an eye on Sayaka and make sure she doesn't become a witch. Back in the present, Sayaka recovers from her shock and states that Madoka will make Sayaka braver. Madoka beams. As they begin to walk together, Kyubey informs Madoka that he has taken steps to insure Sayaka's protection.
As Madoka wonders what Kyubey means, they walk into Anja's wards. Sayaka quickly takes her out and celebrates with Madoka, leading Homura, who was watching them, to be relieved and curious as to why Kyoko's spear hadn't interrupted Sayaka's fight. Right after that, however, she finds Kyoko's spear at her neck.
Kyoko says that Homura can't even stop spying while someone hunts witches, and says that she must have done the same to Mami. Kyoko begins to attack Homura, but Homura stops time and appears behind Kyoko, saying she has no intention of fighting. Kyoko says she doesn't believe her. Suddenly, attracted by the noise, Sayaka and Madoka appear. Homura tells them to leave, but Sayaka says that she and Kyoko agreed to leave Homura to her. As Madoka and Homura wonder what's going on, Kyoko puts up her barrier and separates Madoka from the fight.
