Chapter 1: The Sniper

~Fate's POV~

I finally get to be in the fields from now on...hopefully I get a great partner, I thought to myself. Being a newly trained secret agent is hard. You have to be able to shoot on target, making sure not to miss even an inch, then you got the drills you go through every single night. I'm just glad I'm through with the training. I headed to the boss's office to discuss the arrangements on my new partner.

*knock, knock*

"Come in"

I walked in slowly as I heard some voices quite down. "I hear you had something to say to me boss"

"oh come on Fate, we've been friends for so long you don't even have to call me that...I just feels weird when you say it" said a brown haired girl

"Hahaha thanks Hayate"

"No problem Fate, and...congrats on finally getting a position in the fields. And now the topic that we need to discuss is your new partner. She's a bit...how should say it...hostile when it comes to finding a new partner to work with. You should know that she already lost her last partner a couple of months ago on the job. She still hasn't gotten over it, but I think somebody her own age should help cheer her up. Besides, you should know what it like is to lose something." said Hayate

I look down at the floor. It's been 8 years since the organization found me in an apartment with bodies and blood all over the floor. I was sound asleep in a corner of that same room. A long scar ran against my back to prove it. I don't remember anything about what happened in that room. All of my memories of the people in the room were gone; the only thing I remember is my name and age.

I heard the door opened and turned around to see who it was. In walked in the most beautiful girl I ever saw. With long brown hair in a one sided ponytail and small slender hips that moved with every step she took. I was awestruck at her beauty that I didn't even hear a word she said to me.

"Who are you" she said

"m-me"

"Who else do you think I'm talking to" she looked at me with a stern face

"F-Fate T. Harlaown"

"Ah...I see this is what you wanted to talk about...my new partner, right" she said

"Nanoha, you need to move on...everybody is devastated about what happened to Toshiko but you need to move on. That's what Toshiko would have wanted."

"Well I don't want to, I don't need anyone else to watch my back anymore" Nanoha turned around and started to walk out the room

"Is it just that, or is it because you don't want the same thing to happen again"

Nanoha stop were she stood. "...a month" she mumbled

"What was that" asked Hayate

"I'll give her a month, and if I like her then I'll keep her...but if she gets in my way then she's out and you stop choosing partners for me."

"...fine I'll go with those, but its only if you hate her, understand. Other than that you guys should go to bed, school starts tomorrow for both of you." answered Hayate

"But Hayate..." I was worried. This is going to be my first time going to school for a while.

"Hahaha don't worry Fate, you're gonna be fine. Besides you have me and Nanoha here for you. We're all gonna be at the same school together, might as well get along"

"Okay then...good night Hayate"

"Good night Fate"

I walked out the door behind Nanoha. Even though she was beautiful her attitude makes her ugly.

"Um...N-Na-Nanoha...san"

"Nanoha is fine"

"Okay...Nanoha"

"What"

"Do you know what I should do for you?"

"Just make sure you don't get in my way" she answered

"I know that it's...what do partners do for each other"

She stooped walking and turned to look at me

"they make sure they have each other's back...and they have to be able to trust each other no matter what situation their in" she said, with a sad look in her eyes

"Well...I just I'll have to rely on you now...Nanoha"

She looked up at me. I just smiled at her hoping that I would cheer her up.

"Good night Nanoha" I started walking towards the street I lived on. I hoped that helped her

~Nanoha's POV~

What was that was she trying to cheer me up. I walked to my room thinking about the last conversation I had. She's a nice girl though; I wonder why she got involved with this. I lay down on my bed and looked at the picture of two girls with their backs to each other, smiling. Toshiko, I thought.

~Fate's POV~

"Arf arf arf"

I woke up with something heavy on my stomach.

"Urg...Arf your too big to do that anymore"

I looked up to see a full grown dog looking up at me. She licked my face as a compliment.

"Hahaha okay I'm up, I'm up." I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and splash some water on my face. I walked out and went to a blank wall. I pushed against it and a door popped out. I turned on the light to see a wall full of weapons, from assault rifles to semi-automatic pistols. They were like my life.

I picked up two Beretta M1951s and placed then in my hostlers on my thighs under my skirt, next I pick up my favorite two short swords, the Wakizashi. They were the only things that were left in the house I was in when the organization found me. I placed those in the shelves under my shirt. I heard a knock at the front door and went to answer it. I opened the door to see Hayate and Nanoha standing outside.

"Ready to go Fate" asked Hayate

"Yep" I grabbed my bag near the door and closed it

"Now remember you can never let anyone know our secret. I don't want to say what will happen when people do find out" said Hayate

"Understood...good morning Nanoha"

"Yea you too" she was still facing away from me. I guess that didn't cheer her up

"Well then we better hurry up before we're late" said Hayate

"Yea, ne Hayate is Suzuka and Alisa going to be in school today" I asked as we were walking down the street

"Ummmm, I think they just finished their last job this morning so we might see them this afternoon" answered Hayate

I smiled, Suzuka and Alisa aren't a part of the organization but they do help out with gathering information, plus their in the same grade as me.

As we turned the corner I heard a yell and turned my head to find the noise.

"HELP ME...THEIF" yelled a woman. There was a tall man with a small handbag under his arm.

"Hayate..." I whispered

"I'll let Nanoha take care of this...I want you to see what your new partner can do."

With that Nanoha gave her bag to Hayate, turned around, and took off with a sprint after the thief.

"Where is she going?"

"To catch the thief," answered Hayate, "you better hurry up and catch up to her or else you're going to miss the action"

I looked a Hayate one last time and gave her my bag before I ran after Nanoha. Man she's fast. I couldn't catch up to Nanoha how much I tried. It was a good thing they trained us in stamina, but still speed was the best thing anybody could have. The things I heard about Nanoha were true. Nanoha is the White Devil, the best assassin we have in the organization, and I was her partner. I shook that thought out of my head, for now I have to catch up to her.

We were closing in on the thief when he took a sharp turn down the alley

"Hey Harlaown get up on one of those buildings there, I'll take the alley"

"Roger"

I went inside one of the buildings closest to the alley. I ran up the stairs and onto the roof, I looked across the side of the building to see that Nanoha was still chasing the thief. Oh shit I thought, he's gonna get away once he heads through that crowd on the other street. I looked to see Nanoha still with him but not enough to catch him before he gets back out on the street. I pulled out one of my guns.

"Prints recognized" said a voice

I looked down at my gun, "hahaha Shari, I better thank her for the adjustments on my gun"

I looked back to see the thief still run with Nanoha right on his heels. Breathe Fate, clam yourself. I took a deep breath and aimed at the target. You've practice for this you can do it, just aim and fire. I steadied my gun in my hand. 30 seconds until firing range. I could see the thief getting closer and closer.

I took another breath, "shoot" I fired my gun and the bullet landed right in front of him. He stumbled back and fell over. The thief looked up to see me standing on the roof with my gun still pointed at him. He tried to turn around but it was too late. Nanoha had bodied tackled him to the ground.

"All in a day's work" I said to myself

~xX*Xx~

~Nanoha's POV~

"Well how do you like your new partner Nanoha" asked Hayate

"She...still needs work"

"oh come on Nanoha, by the way she descried how you two captured the thief I think you two are prefect for each other. And I think in more ways than one." Hayate arched her eyebrow at me.

"Stop it Hayate, I don't want to be a part of you little Harlem anymore. Besides won't that make Reinforce-sensei mad at you?" I laughed

Hayate punched me in the arm, "mou Nanoha...its n-n-not like t-th-that" Hayate was blushing

"You face says it all Hayate" I smiled

Hayate turned around and went back to sit in her desk across from me, her face still in a pout. I heard the door open and saw Reinforce-sensei come in with a girl.

"Everyone quiet down" she waited until everybody was facing the front, "we have a new student today, now why don't you introduce yourself Harlaown-san"

"Hello everybody, my name is Fate T. Harlaown. It's nice to meet you, please take care of me." said Fate

Everyone started to clap, welcoming her to the class. Fate smiled looking around the room and stopped to see me start at her. She smiled even more for me when our eyes meet. I turned away. Why the hell is my heart beating so fast? I blushed a little bit.

~Hayate's POV~

"Oye Fate, Nanoha let's go eat lunch on the roof"

"Sure" answered Fate

"Whatever" said Nanoha

We went up to the roof with our lunch in our hands. As I opened the door I saw another blonde hair girl sitting next to purple hair girl.

"Is that you, Alisa, Suzuka?"

Both girls turned their heads to see me standing next to the door.

"Hayate" both girls yelled

"Hey guys how was the mission"

"Man Hayate, that's the only thing you can say after being apart from each other for 3 months" said Suzuka

"Ummmm Suzuka, we're only gone for about 5 days" said Alisa

"Oh I know that, I just felt like the readers need something more, like long parted friends finally see each other after months of suffering, kind of thing" explained Suzuka

"What are you talking about Suzuka" asked Alisa

"We'll get to that later Alisa, now did you find any information on what we need for the next target." I asked

"Yea, we'll get Yunno to analyze it later" answered Alisa

"Thanks now...did something happen between you two or something. You seem pretty closer that last time." I smiled as I looked at them

"W-w-what ar-are you talking a-ab-about Hayate" asked a blushing Alisa

"Oh come on, you can't hide anything from me. You guys got together didn't you."

"Oh man I should have known that Hayate would notice, but it's the truth. I finally got the courage to ask Alisa thanks to you Hayate" Suzuka smiled at Hayate and then hugged Alisa from behind.

"S-st-stupid don't hug me" Alisa blurred out

"But you like it when I hug you" Suzuka smiled

"Stupid" Alisa muttered

"Oh no, my amazing Harlem is getting smaller. Soon I won't have anybody left" I started to cry, but everyone knew that I was just joking.

"Come on Hayate, you still would have Reinforce-sensei" said Suzuka

"Stupid, she was never a part of it in the first place. She's the fair maiden that would fall for my charms and then we would run away where no one would find us and die in each other's arm when the army had finally captured us" I held up my hands to the sky for more effect

"Hayate you read too many romance novels" said Fate

"Oh come on its fun to dream once and a while, right Nanoha" I said

"What" asked Nanoha

"Mou Nanoha, were you even listening to a word we were saying"

"I was...I was just thinking about this morning" exclaimed Nanoha

"Nanoha that's over with, what's done is done"

"I know but I felt something when we finished tying him" answered Nanoha

"Same here" replied Fate

I turned to look at Fate, "What did you feel exactly"

"Well…something…something like killing intent. But it only lasted for a second before it went away" answered Fate

I looked both at Fate and Nanoha, maybe putting these two together was a good choice if they could both feel the same thing, "We'll figure this out later, for now… let's eat!"

~xX*Xx~

~Fate's POV~

After school was over Nanoha, Hayate, and I started to head back to base. Although we all wanted to go out with Alisa and Suzuka tonight, but they said that they had other plans and then Hayate started to give a weird look to Alisa. We were walking towards the base when I felt the same killing intent from earlier. I looked around before noticing something flashing from one of the roof tops of a building. My eyes widen when I realized what was pointing at us.

"LOOK OUT" I yelled and pulled Nanoha and Hayate into one of the alleys before the bullet hit us. I pulled out my gun and poked my head out from the alley. I waited for another shot to fire but it never did. The sniper was gone, along with the killing intent I felt earlier. I put my gun back in the hostler and turned to face Nanoha and Hayate.

"What was that?" asked Hayate

"Remember how Nanoha and I told you about the presence we felt earlier, I think that was the same person." I answered

"But that was pretty far, I couldn't even feel it" mumbled Nanoha

"Besides that I think someone is after us"

"Do you know who that someone is Fate?" asked Hayate

"No but I think I have an idea of what they want to do with us"

"And what's that?" asked Nanoha

"…to kill us"
