Last Time

"Happy Birthday, Honoka"

"Nagisa"

Normal Perspective

Honoka gasped at the figure in front of her not believing her eyes. She felt her limbs suddenly go weak and heavy as if filled with led. She couldn't stand anymore and before she was aware of anything else her vision went black.

Seeing Honoka's spaced look Nagisa was quick to guess what was wrong and acted fast enough to catch the older girl before she fell to the floor.

"Well that was quite a greeting"

"What do you expect; everyone thinks we are dead-Mepo."

"True, I just wish there was an easier way to tell her, but there really isn't."

Holding Honoka close to her chest Nagisa shifted her right arm around the smaller girls back and her left under her knees. Picking her up Nagisa used her foot to slide open the paper screen door to Honoka's room, stepped inside, and closed the door the same way. Making her way over to the bed Nagisa gently laid the dark haired girl down on the bed then pulled the blanket over her body. Sighing to herself Nagisa brushed some hair out of Honoka's face and took a moment to look over her best friends face.

Nagisa had always found Honoka beautiful but she couldn't stop the thoughts running through her head about how her friend had become stunning and it made her heart ache that she couldn't be there to watch her become the woman she is now.

"MEPPLE!"

"MIPPLE!"

Hearing the exited shouts behind her Nagisa turned to see Mepple and Mipple change into their true forms to hug, cry, and rejoice over seeing each other again. She was happy to see the two so overjoyed at being together again but let out a cough to get their attention when she realised they were being a little too loud.

"Guys I'm happy that you found each other again, and Mipple it's really good to see you, but I think it would be best if you went elsewhere to talk, Honoka should rest."

"Good idea, Honoka hasn't been sleeping very well so the more sleep she gets the better-Mipo"

"Really, why hasn't she been sleeping?" Nagisa turned her attention the sleeping girl on the bed and couldn't resist the urge to run her fingers against the girl's cheek.

"Umm, I think it would be best if she told you-Mipo. Let's go Mepple"

"Hai-Mepo" With that the two fairies left the room to talk elsewhere, Nagisa didn't know where but at that point she didn't really care. She debated if she should watch over Honoka for the night but couldn't deny that she was very tired from all that had over the last few weeks or so.

Getting up Nagisa walked over to the other side of the bed and reached up to undo the hooks in the metal clasps on her shoulders that kept the black cape on her back in place. Letting the cape fall to the floor she then unstrapped the sword that was attached to her back and gently placed it on the floor leaning against the bed so that it would within reach. Even though she knew she was safe here, old habits are hard to break and she knew this one would be the hardest. Sitting gently on the edge of the bed Nagisa bent over and undid the side clasps on her right black boot slowly peeling it off of her foot before to doing the same with her left and placing them and her wool socks at the foot of the bed. She then untied the black leather bracers on both arms and placed them beside her boots before standing up and undoing the clasps on both of her sides that kept her leather armor sleeveless shirt together. Pulling off the shirt revealed a white undershirt that kept her skin from chafing. After taking off the shirt she pulled down her slightly baggy pants so that she was just in her boxer like underwear and her undershirt.

Unable to stay awake much longer, Nagisa crawled into the other side of the bed of Honoka, the same side as her sword, and soon fell into a restless sleep.

The early morning sun drifted in through the paper screen shining lightly on Honoka's face waking her up from a restful sleep. Stretching her limbs Honoka was reluctant to wake up from her sleep but she soon scrunched up her face unsure of why she was having such a good night's sleep when she had been plagued by nightmares for the last while. Letting out a breath Honoka could vaguely remember what had happened the night before but quickly shook it off as another dream like the ones she had, had so many times in the past. The thoughts were soon brought to a halt when she rolled over in order to avoid the sun's ray's only to feel the heat and solidity of a body lying next to her. Her heart rate increased as her first thoughts immediately went to Mori-san, and so she slowly opened one eye nervous of what she would find. The first thing she saw was a tanned and moderately scared arm lying on top of the blanket. She traced the arm up and saw strong shoulder's with light brown hair lightly brushing it. The hair alone let her know that this person wasn't Mori-san and she immediately let out a breath as she felt safe once more. But that didn't explain why there was someone in her bed with her. Leaning up on her elbow Honoka got a better at the person's face.

Honoka gasped out loud and covered her mouth in shock when she finally recognized who the person in her bed was. She could feel the tears come to her eyes unable to help the sob that let loose from her throat. "Nagisa, Nagisa!" Honoka launched herself at her sleeping friend unable to help the joy she felt in her heart.

Feeling a sudden weight on top of her body Nagisa woke with a jolt and had to fight every instinct in her body that told her to act and lash out at whatever it is that has assaulted her space. Catching the smell of flowers and feeling soft but strong arms holding her tight round the shoulders she felt herself relax remembering where she was and gently wrapped her arms around the smaller girl. She could feel the girl in her arms shake and could guess that she was probably crying as well, so she ran a hand through dark strands in order to help calm her down.

Honoka tightened her grip around strong shoulders when she felt the hand in her hair and continued to cry on her friends shoulder. After a minute or two her tears had finally stopped flowing but she refused to remove herself from the other girl and so continued to hold onto her breathing in the only semi-familiar scents that clung to her. She could smell soap, although it didn't smell like a brand type only regular soap, long gone is the smell of Irish soap that she had come to associate with her. Along with the soap Honoka can also smell leather and a metallic smell although she isn't sure what it is. "I missed you so much." She could feel her voice crack a bit, still rough from waking and crying.

"I'm home, Honoka, I'm so sorry for taking so long" Nagisa replied, lightly squeezing the smaller girl to reassure her that she was there and not going anywhere.

Honoka choked back another sob and pulled back enough to look into the taller girl's eyes. Meeting light brown eyes that she has so missed for five years and yet has seen every day for the past two and a half years in her daughter, she rested her forehead against the other girls and relished in the closeness. Many questions ran through her head that she wanted to ask her friend but held it in to simply enjoy the peace and quiet as well as the closeness. "Welcome home Nagisa."

Honoka felt her eyes grow heavy as thoughts began swirling in her mind. She had missed her chance years ago to be with the one she loves and she had always told herself that if she had a second chance to do it over, and to change things, that she would take the opportunity, and this was her second chance. Her heart rate picked up at the thought of what she was about to do as doubts began to creep into her mind. She mentally shook her head in order to get rid of them, no matter the outcome she needed to do this. Little did she know Nagisa was having very similar thoughts.

As the girls started to lean into one another the door was slid open and a very groggy little girl stepped into the room rubbing her eye with one hand and dragging a small blanket in the other. "Okaa-san why is there a pony eating Obaa-san's flowers?" the girls quickly broke apart and looked over at the little girl with confused and embarrassed faces, both thinking two very different things.

"Okaa-san?"

"Pony?"

After a second their hearing tuned in with the area outside of the room where they could hear, not quite yelling, but very upset speaking coming from beyond the door.

"Curse you, you beast, get out of my garden! No not over there! Why are you in my yard?"

"Oh shoot!" Nagisa scrambled to get untangled from the blanket and stumbled off the bed, only to trip and land face first on the floor. "Oww" Picking herself up, she made a mad dash for the door passing a stunned little girl and flew out of the room.

Honoka, who was still sitting on the bed, couldn't help but chuckle at her friend's antics. It was good having her back, and she had to admit, she had definitely grown up. She blushed a little remembering the way the taller girls muscles tensed under her tight white shirt that clung to her body like a second skin. It was easy to see she wasn't wearing a bra and while her breasts weren't very big, maybe a B cup, they were certainly perky. She had long legs and now that she had a better view she could tell that her friend's hair was still cut short and a little uneven but she could tell that was slightly longer than when they were younger.

Getting out of bed Honoka walked over to Akiko and grabbed her free hand leading her out the door and onto the walkway. There they were met with a very amusing sight.

"Oi Titan, get out of the flower bed! No don't step on that! Just get over here will you?" Nagisa was yelling at the 17 hand black stallion standing in the yard trying to eat its fill of the greens in the flower bed completely ignoring his owner. "Stupid horse" grumbling to herself Nagisa walked over and gave Titan a smack on his shoulder to get his attention. When he lifted his head she grabbed his reins with her right hand and gently pulled letting him know that he needed to follow her. He went with her reluctantly knowing that he would be in even more trouble if he resisted much longer. Walking back over to Honoka's Obaa-san, Nagisa kept her head down as she came to a stop in front of her. "I'm really sorry about that Oba-san I will fix all the damage I promise."

"Nagisa-san?" Sanae was at a loss for words as her granddaughter's best friend stood in front of her. "When did you, I mean, how did you?"

"It's a long story" Nagisa gave a timid smile and looked over to see Honoka walking towards her holding the hand of the little girl that had walked in on them just a few minutes before. She took a moment to look over both girls and couldn't help feel herself blush at the older girl. The older girl was wearing a light blue button up, ¾ sleeved blouse and a black skirt that reached just above her knees. Her clothes were wrinkled from her having slept in them and she couldn't help but think she looked absolutely hot like that. Her hair was still long but was messed a little from sleep adding to the affect. One of the things that attracted her eyes, aside from her beautiful face, was her friend's bust. The shorter girl had a much larger bust than she did, she doesn't know a bra size, and she couldn't help a slightly jealous thought that went through her head. She was quick to squash it however when she remembered why she had always liked her own small breasts and the advantages that came with it. All in all she found that her friend had grown into a gorgeous young woman and that just made her want her all the more.

Looking to her friend's side she quickly looked over the young girl's features and was quick to notice just how much like her friend the young girl looked. Her youthful face reminded her of all the pictures she had seen of a young Honoka, from the round face to the long dark hair. The only difference she could see between the two are a pair of light brown eyes that look startlingly like her own pair. Remembering what the little girl had called Honoka when she walked into the room she couldn't help but feel her heart clench, and all hopes of being with the girl she loved, and fought so hard to get back to, leave her body. She had feared that Honoka would have found someone while she was gone, but to go that far? Surely she wouldn't, would she?

Looking into the little girl's eyes she caught the look of confusion in her young face before it exploded into a look of absolute delight as she squealed, released Honoka's hand, and launched herself into Nagisa.

"PAPA!"

"P-P-Papa?" Nagisa felt her face go bright red at the little girl's exclamation and looked up at Honoka only to see her sporting the same look of surprise, and fire engine red embarrassment. "Umm, sorry kiddo but I think you have the wrong person"

"NO! Okaa-san said herself, you're my Papa she said a Papa is like an Otou-san only different. But, she also said that you died, so are a ghost?"

"AKIKO! You shouldn't ask people things like that so suddenly"

"Sorry Okaa-san, so she isn't my Papa?" Akiko looked over at Honoka with a cute pout on her face then turned to Nagisa with the same expression. With a quivering lower lip and slightly watering eyes Nagisa had to admit that she had one killer puppy pout, and being unable to resist the pout, and not wanting to see the little girl that reminded her so much of the girl she loves upset, Nagisa picked her up and held her close.

"Of course, I would be honoured to be your Papa. If your Okaa-san is okay with it of course." Looking over at said mother they saw a still shocked and bright red Honoka unable to speak. Not trusting her voice, all Honoka could do was nod her head and watch as her two most cherished people interact with one another. Only in her dreams had she ever dared to hope that Nagisa would come back to her, and never even then had she dreamt that Nagisa would so readily accept Akiko into her life. It scared her a little for she knew that she would have to tell Nagisa everything, and she couldn't help the bit of fear that crept up her spine at what her friend's reaction would be. Would she be okay with everything? Would she be angry at Honoka for not being stronger like her counterpart Cure White was? Or would she be disgusted that she was tainted and want nothing to do with her? All these questions kept piling up in her mind, and it wasn't until a finger snapped in front of her face that she snapped back to reality.

"Are you okay Honoka? You kinda went away on me." Nagisa looked at Honoka with a look of concern on her face. She still had Akiko in her arms and the little girl was looking at her with a similar expression.

"Hai, I am alright, why don't we all get dressed and then we can have some breakfast, then figure out where to go from there?"

"Hai" three different people chorused in time with one another. Akiko slipped out of Nagisa's arms before skipping to her room to change for the day, and Sanae headed to the kitchen to start breakfast having already dressed.

"Sorry for all the trouble Titan caused Honoka I didn't know what else to do with him so I figured I'd keep him with me for now. I didn't even think of what he would do to Oba-san's garden." Nagisa glared at Titan before focusing on Honoka once more.

"It's alright Nagisa, I think he just surprised us more than anything. Where did you get him anyway?"

"Ah, it's a bit of a long story. Actually it's a really long story, I'll tell you I promise, just not right yet."

"Okay Nagisa, whenever you want to talk I'm here okay? But I have a lot of questions for you later on. For now I think it would be best to take care of the present. Like clothes, you should probably put a shirt on." Honoka's voice got quieter and quieter as she came to the end her sentence. She blushed and looked away having been reminded that her friend's shirt left little to nothing to the imagination.

"Ah, your right, I wasn't really thinking when I jumped out of the bed. Is it okay if I use your bathroom?"

"Of course go ahead. I'll see in the kitchen for breakfast. Oh and Nagisa. Thank you for what did for Akiko. I know it really means a lot to her. She has really wanted another parent in her life and when she saw a picture of you. Well anyways thank you."

"It's not a problem Honoka she's a cute kid and anyone would be lucky to be considered for that role in both your lives. I'm just honoured that I was chosen. Although I have to admit I am curious about some things and will probably have some questions of my own later on, but for now you're right, let's take things one step at a time." Nagisa smiled at Honoka and watched her walk back into her room. A strong nudge between her shoulder blades reminded her that Titan was still behind her and getting impatient. Chuckling to herself Nagisa turned around and patted Titan on the head before taking off his bridle and saddle. She set the tack beside the walkway and gave Titan a pat on the head "be good okay. There is plenty of green grass so stay out of the garden okay?" Titan reared his head up then down then walked off to graze on some grass. Shaking her head Nagisa went over to the saddle and grabbed a bag that had some spare civilian clothes in it. After getting the bag she made her way to the bathroom from memory and quickly changed into a simple worn down tunic and an extra pair of loose pants since her other pair was still in Honoka's bedroom. She only had one pair of foot wear so she left her feet bare and headed out of the bathroom to return her bag to her other stuff and headed to the kitchen for breakfast.

After walking into her bedroom and closing the door Honoka leant against the door and took a deep breath in, then let it out slowly. She pushed herself off the door to hurry and get dressed not liking the idea of spending more time away from Nagisa then what was necessary. Honoka pulled a white sun dress that had pink floral designs on it and quickly put it on. Turning around to leave she noticed a piled of discarded clothing on the side of her bed and figured that they must have been Nagisa's. She walked over to the pile, intending to put them over with her own in order to be washed, but got distracted when she looked closer at each discarded item. The pants were plain enough but the shirt confused her. It felt like a very heavy material, perhaps leather, and buckled oddly. She put it to the side since it very obviously wouldn't be able to be washed with the other items. At least now she knew where that leather smell that clung to Nagisa came from. She moved onto the next item which was a pair of bracers that are worn to protect the forearms, and a pair of heavy boots. Moving those aside she picked up a long rectangular piece of cloth and it took her a minute to identify it as a cape.

As she looked over all of the items she couldn't help but wonder what in the world would posses Nagisa to wear such items, or why she would need to, since it all looked like the really old military outfits you would see men wearing in a re enactment of ancient times. Shaking her head and filing it away as one more thing to ask Nagisa when she got the chance she motioned to stand up. Until her eyes caught something leaning against her bed. Honoka reached over and grabbed the scabbard and held it closer to examine it. It had simple designs on it of what looked like wolves and she had to admit it was very beautiful. Pulling the handle Honoka began to unsheathe the sword only to stop half way. She knew what it was only she hadn't really believed that her friend would have a real sword, it just didn't make any sense. She felt her heart pick up she did best to remain calm and not to think of why her friend would a sword, and why it had, so clearly from the markings, been used quite frequently

"Okaa-san, breakfast is ready!"

"O-Okay I'm coming" Honoka quickly re-sheathed the sword and put it back in its place leaning against the bed. She got up and hurried out the door not wanting to make the others wait any longer.

A/N: Alright, that's it for chapter 1 :D Hope you guys liked it.

Omake:

Nagisa: HEY! I thought you said I wouldn't have to wait to get into Honoka's pants!

Ash: No I said we'll see, besides if you guys had being anything then poor Akiko would have seen and poof there goes her innocence.

Honoka: Isn't that a little extreme?

Ash: Probably, I just didn't want to try and figure out dialogue for explaining your relationship to a two year old.

Nagisa: You'll have to it eventually you know

Ash: Ya I know, but I want to have some fun first

Nagisa: Whatever *leads Honoka into another room* At least we have the Omakes ;)

Ash: Okay now that those two are gone do I start the next chapter or play some skyrim?
