Ok to help answer some questions eto when a puppet master dies and it isn't in battle, the parents know but they think it's some freak accident and don't know the cause. If they are killed by a puppet then their bodies remained and are eventually found. Anyways here's the next update so I hope you like it!

Chapter 5
Atsuko woke up and found Minami tightly wrapped around her like a koala shaking. Atsuko pushed Minami off and tried to calm her down from whatever she had seen before. When she tried to ask Minami just screamed and curled into a ball. She didn’t know what had happened but she was very concerned about Minami. Atsuko led Minami to the kitchen where she splashed on water onto Minami which seemed to have snapped her out of the strange trance she was in.
“Minami what happened? Are you ok?” Atsuko asked.
“Y-Yeah I’m fine…” Minami said.
“Really? You don’t look like it.”
Atsuko reached out and tried to touch Minami but she jumped back.
“I’m sorry… Why don’t we go get ready for school nee?”
Minami ran into the other room leaving Atsuko lost and confused. She knew Minami was hiding something but she decided to let it go seeing how she wasn’t in any mood to talk. They arrived at the school where they met up with Mayu and Yuki.
“Hey what’s up with Minami?” Yuki asked.
“I don’t know. Something must have spooked her.” Atsuko said.
“Well I’m sure she’ll calm down once we get into class. Let’s go.”
They went to the classroom and took their seats. Class began and the teacher started off the day by saying they had a new student. The girl walked in and all the girls squealed not believing what they were seeing. Atsuko looked over and saw a very good looking guy standing at the front of the class. That guy though was a girl and there standing next to her was another girl who looked very strong and huge. The two introduced themselves with the ikemen girl saying,
“Hello my name is Miyazawa Sae.”
“And I am Akimoto Sayaka.” the other one said.
“Please take care of us.”
The girl cheered so much that the teacher had to settle everyone down before they could finally resume class. Atusko could care less about the new students however when she looked over, she could see the one named Sae staring at Yuki a lot and Mayu was glaring at Sae. Sayaka was focused on the lesson and Yuki was reading a book. Something in Atsuko told her there was going to be a problem between Sae and Mayu but she didn’t care about it because she was more concerned about Minami. She looked over at Minami who was frozen stiff in her seat facing the board. She was still pretty scared and Atsuko didn’t know what to do because she had never seen Minami like this. When class ended, Atsuko took Minami to the cafeteria where she sat down and ate while keeping a close eye on Minami. Mayu and Yuki walked over and sat down as well and Mayu had a pouted look on her face. Yuki however didn’t seem to notice and was looking at Minami who was still the same as before. They all sat in silence until someone came from behind and lightly tapped Yuki’s shoulder. Yuki turned around and saw no one else but Sae.
“Excuse me are you Kashiwagi Yuki?” she asked.
“Yes I am.”
“Do you care if I have lunch with you?”
“Go right ahead.”
Sae manage to wedge herself between Yuki and Mayu and Atsuko saw the blood in Mayu start to boil. Sae didn’t notice and continued to watch Yuki who was just sitting there eating her food. There was a war preparing to battle the only thing that was missing that was the spark to start the battle. As the atmosphere started to tense up, Sayaka walked over and said,
“Sae what are you doing?”
“Ah Sayaka. I’m just getting to know Yuki here. It’s ok if I call you Yuki right?” Sae asked.
“It’s fine with me.” Yuki said.
“Well we better get going. The principal said he wanted to give us something so let’s go.”
“Mou and things were just starting to get good.”
Sae got up and left leaving Mayu more angry than ever. She looked like she was going to kill Sae if she got any closer to Yuki. Mayu growled and Yuki just patted her head and said,
“Don’t worry I’m not gonna fall for her. Relax Mayu.”
Mayu felt a little better but was still on high guard as she watched them come back and Sae had a seductive grin on her face. She walked over and sat next to Yuki and said,
“So would you mind showing me around the school after class? It’s awfully big and I would hate to get lost.” Sae said.
“Well here’s a map.”
Yuki shoved a map in Sae’s face.
“And if you’re going to ask anyone for directions ask then ask a teacher.” Yuki said coldly.
Sae raised and eyebrow and then smiled. She opened the map and looked at it and then leaned in and asked,
“Nee what is this spot then?”
Yuki leaned in to get a better look and Mayu could see what Sae was doing. She was about to do something but then Sayaka stepped in and said,
“Sae that’s enough. Can’t you see she’s already got a partner?”
“Yes but she’s just a puppet. I think Yuki-chan here wants a real person and not some doll.”
“What did you call me?”
Mayu was sending waves of hate and anger towards Sae who seemed to just brush them off and said to Sayaka,
“Don’t get me wrong Sayaka you’re a great puppet but you know I can’t take my hands of all these beautiful girls here. Especially this one.”
Sae started to get close to Yuki again but then Mayu got in the way and hit Sae with a bowl of noodles. Sae stood up and turned to face Mayu. There was an angry look in her eyes and Mayu was sending the same signal right back. The two were about really get into it when suddenly someone walked between them and slipped on the noodles. They were about to fall but Sae reacted and caught her. Everyone looked over and realized it was Rena in Sae’s arms.
“Well hello there~”
“Ano…”
“Oi hands off!”
Jurina came charging in and slammed into Sae. Sae got back up and looked at the person who attacked her and turns out it was Jurina. When Sae saw Jurina she stopped and smiled when she realized who it was.
“Hey Jurina!”
“Sae?!”
“Long time no see!”
“You two know each other?” Mayu asked.
Jurina explained how she knew Sae way back when she was younger. Sae was the one that taught Jurina about the puppet battles and also a couple tips on picking up girls. The two were happy to see each other and when they finished their sayings, Sae asked Jurina if she wanted to have a quick sparring battle. Jurina seemed thrilled and was really excited when Sae asked. They all agreed to meet up after school and when the time came, for once Atsuko only had to watch. She thought it would be a good idea to bring Minami with her because maybe the battle would snap her out of whatever she was so scared of. Minami, Atsuko, Yuki and Mayu all sat and watched as Sayaka, Sae, Jurina, and Rena prepared for battle. Atsuko had never seen a sparring battle so it must not be a real one but something close to it. The Rena and Sayaka transformed and Atsuko was amazed at their battle outfit. Rena was in a white lace skirt and a black corset with a black hat and a parasol (outfit from kareha no station) Sayaka on the other side was in black pants and blazer with sparkles on them. She had a hat as well and sexy boots to go with them (outfit from mushi no ballad). She was carrying something that looked similar to mike stand but Atsuko wouldn’t tell. The battle began and Rena was the first one to move.
Rena jumped up and tried to strike with her parasol but Sayaka defended with her staff and then tried to punch Rena. Rena moved out of the way and went for a low strike aiming for the stomach. She managed to hit but Sayaka saw this and grabbed onto Rena’s parasol. She pushed Rena back and then struck with her stand right into Rena’s chest. However she wasn’t done yet as Sayaka raised her stand for another attack. It was then Rena opened her parasol and defended herself from Sayaka’s attack. Sayaka started pounding on Rena like a mighty hammer and Rena only sat there defenseless. To the side Atsuko could see Jurina get angry she shouted,
“Come on Rena move! Attack! Do something you weak idiot!”
Rena didn’t move and continued to be attacked and Atsuko could see Rena crying. With one last swing Sayaka broke through and hit Rena hard. She feel back and Sayaka aimed her staff right at Rena’s neck. She held there for a long time and gave Rena a deadly stare. Then she pulled back and said,
“Good match.”
She helped Rena up who quickly wiped her tears away before Jurina could see them. Jurina walked over and slapped Rena in the head.
“Baka! I told you to attack!”
“I’m sorry… It won’t happen again.”
“Good. It better not.” Jurina said.
“Now now Jurina be nice to Rena. She gave it her best shot.” Sae said.
“Yeah but still… Rena is so weak. Why can’t I have a strong puppet like Sayaka? She’s way stronger than Rena anyways.”
“Jurina!”
“What?”
Jurina looked over at Yuki who had a furious look on her face. Mayu too was glaring and even Minami had snapped out of her trance to glare at Jurina. They were all staring at Jurina and Jurina just looked back confused.
“What are you guys ticked off about?” she asked.
“You shouldn’t be so cruel to Rena. She’s your puppet so you should treat her with respect.” Yuki said.
“Cruel? This isn’t cruel! I’m just showing her tough love so she’ll be stronger.”
“No it’s called being a jerk.” Mayu said.
“And what do you know Mayu? You’re just as cold as me!”
“Yeah but I don’t treat Yuki that way like you treat Rena!”
“You guys are all messed up. Come on Rena let’s go.”
“Yes…”
Rena and Jurina left leaving the others behind. No one could believe how cruel Jurina was to Rena and wondered how does Rena put up with it. Sae explained how Jurina hated losing and whenever she did she would immediately blame someone else for something that was her own fault. It was something very bad for Jurina and the fact that she still does it isn’t good. After the battle, everyone went home and decided to rest. Atsuko was glad that Minami was back to normal but also felt sorry for Rena who had to suffer through all the stuff Jurina put her through. Minami walked in and Atusko hugged her.
“What is it Atsuko?”
“Nothing. I’m just happy that you’re back to normal.”
“Yeah it was nothing I’m ok now.” Minami said.
“That’s good to hear. I feel so sorry for Rena.”
“I do to but we can’t do anything. Jurina is Rena’s master and we can’t do anything to step in.”
“It’s so sad…”
“Hey don’t be sad. How about we go down to see them and talk some sense into Jurina!”
“That’s a great idea!”
The two went to Jurina’s house and when they got there they heard the sound of a crash and glass breaking. They walked in and found Rena on the ground and Jurina hovering over her. She swung her foot and kicked Rena making her cry out.
“Oi!”
Minami ran over and grabbed Jurina from behind. She held her back while Atsuko pulled Rena back up. She tried to help her more but Rena pushed Atsuko up and ran out of the house. As she was running out, Mayu and Yuki were walking in. Yuki walked over to Jurina and grabbed her by the shirt collar. She pulled her hard and said,
“What did you do?”
“Nothing really. Just told her that she needed to get stronger.” Jurina said.
“We found her beating Rena.” Minami said.
Yuki’s face turned dark and she took Jurina’s neck and squeezed it tight.
“You will pay for what you did to Rena later. For now Mayu and I are going to go get her. Meanwhile you need to sit and rethink about your actions.”
Yuki dropped Jurina and then her and Mayu left to go look for Rena. Minami and Atsuko looked down on Jurina and waited for Yuki and Mayu to get back and decide what to do with her.
(Over to Rena….)
Tears were running down her face as she ran down the alley all the way to the end where she hid and cried more. The words Jurina said to her echoed in her mind as she sat there.
“You’re so weak! If I wasn’t bound to you I would get rid of you in a heartbeat! You’re so useless Rena. I wish I never became the master of a weakling like you.”
The words stung like hot metal deep inside Rena and the pain resonated throughout her body. She cried and cried until suddenly something happened. Inside Rena’s mind, she felt herself be pulled back and shoved away. There was a dark figure holding her and it leaned in and said,
“You want to get stronger right?”
“Un…”
“Then relax and I’ll handle things ok? When you wake up, Jurina will be on her knees begging you to come back.”
“Ok…”
“Good. Then close your eyes and let me take over for a while.”
Rena closed her eyes and her other have took over. On the outside Rena opened her eyes and when she opened them she saw Mayu and Yuki. They asked if she was feeling alright and Rena gave them an eerie smile and calmly said,
“I’m fine~”
“Then let’s go back ok?” Yuki said.
“Un!”
(Over to Atsuko…)
Rena, Yuki and Mayu all came back and Rena seemed fine. She thanked everyone for coming over and Jurina to bed. Everyone left and went back to their own homes and when Minami and Atsuko got home, Minami hugged Atsuko and said,
“I hope things clear up between the two.”
“So do I Minami so do I.”
“But you know there was something different about Rena.”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know but when she smiled and looked at me.. I felt like she was staring through my soul.”
Atsuko patted Minami’s head and said,
“Baka~ It’s Rena! She wouldn’t hurt us.”
“I hope so.”
“Mou quit being so weird and let’s watch a movie together!”
“Ok~”
(Over with Mayu…)
The two were walking on the side of the road when Mayu suddenly stopped and turned to Yuki. She held her hand tightly and her body started to shake. Yuki became worried and asked,
“What is it Mayu?”
“Yuki.. She’s back… Gekikara is back..”
