"Risa-chwan is such a meanie. She told me she'll post this in her account because mine is dead. Fine, fine, my account is dead, because I can't write and my PC is dead. So people please bear with me, I could not write anything for the mean time. So with that said, I'll focus on this story with Risa-chwan *slaps Risa's face* here until it finishes. Enjoy the love!" ~ W.K.

Living With You

Day 00

~Risa Arakawa~ and ~W.K.

"I… Nano…ha…" Heavy breathing ragged the air. Hard body shifts, fast movements, twitching. Sweat trickled down her temple. "Nano…ha…"

Mischievous lips smiled. She chomped on a flesh mound, her tongue playing with one tip playfully, as her other hand penetrated, her other squeezed. "Near again?"

"Why are you so—Ah—insah—insat—" Wine colored eyes shot close. Her hips twitching, her body shaking. "Why are you so… insatiable…?" Her eyes opened slowly, eyelids fluttering. She felt aggressive lips capture hers.

"It's because… if you'd like to stop involuntarily inviting me… I won't have to do this every single day…" Slate blue stared into red. Damp brunette hair shaping up her curves, naked bodies clashing onto each other. "You just came the third time… I said seven, right?"

"You didn't say anything about seven a da—" before she could retaliate, blonde hair sprawled down the floor as they fell from the couch. From their previous position of the golden haired female half lying down on the couch as they made love, the brunette manage to softly drag her down, as they make out on the carpet, right there in the living room. "Not seven a day, Nanoha… N-!"

"Aren't I such a bad villain?" the brunette once again sealed her lips and forced herself deep down into their lust. The blonde having no control over her mind and bodily hormones… kissed back.

'Just how did I get into this…?' The flaxen female thought. And indulged into hot love.

Day -

Inside a pristine white room, there lay a brown table behind it sat a short haired brunette with blue eyes, her head resting atop her intertwined hands.

In-front of her stood a flustered but still with a well composed appearance; blonde with wine red eyes, beside her sat on a steel chair a handcuffed chestnut haired female. She had a lopsided ponytail on and slate-blue eyes. They both stared at her the brunette sitting across them.

From outside the place inside was the top floor of a seventy seven floor building. It was in the middle of the City. The building had no labels. It just stood there, tall. The brunette before them smirked.

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

"I—!" The blonde opened her mouth.

"I definitely did, General Yagami Hayate." The chestnut haired female said, crossing her legs in-front of her, despite having her hands handcuffed, she leaned her left elbow to her crossed leg and settled here face on top of the opened left palm. "What benefit do I get from this?"

The blonde just stared at her mouth open. She then later on closed her mouth and looked at the short haired brunette.

"Hayate." She called to her without an honorific, like a close friend. She then scratched the back of her hair and sighed, "I don't know what idea you're getting but, why must I be given this… this… long term assignment? There more qualified officers."

The short haired brunette leaned back on her chair, tapping her head a little. She flashed them a shiny smile. "My judgement never faltered. It's simple." She then went back to her previous position, and half-glared at the two of them. "It's because, you two are the perfect candidates."

The lopsided haired female sighed and scoffed. "What would the General of the Underground Investigators, an existence higher than the law, need from a felon like me?" She looked at her side and glared at the Commander.

But then, the highly positioned officer just smiled at her, she raised her hands in the air around the same height of her head, palms up, open. She then smirked again, "Do you have a choice, if I said that going with this assignment means your freedom?"

"How you assure me that I get my freedom?" She asked back.

"That's why I'm assigning her," the short haired female pointed at the blonde, "with you. She'd be a personal guard to your actions, a person you can trust, and for some sheer miracle, a person you can love too."

The blonde then started blushing and exhaled. She knew this was an important meeting, she should take this seriously. She was going to be assigned alone with a fugitive that was sentenced with life imprisonment. And then her superior even promised this female with freedom when the mission finishes.

There must be very special about this fugitive to be assigned to her, branded failure of the experimental division. A low Enforcer who did nothing but chase against law breakers, she's pretty much a Traffic Officer, just a bit higher than them since she has the right to apprehend them.

But then again, she never worked for General Yagami. She was assigned in the local jurisdiction, and right now she was specifically pulled out from that section to be given direct orders by her.

"What can I get from a puny Enforcer?" She scoffed again and stared at the blonde who didn't look back at her. Her eyes hidden by yellow hair, her attention focused onto the high officer in-front of them.

"Don't underestimate her, Nanoha-chan." The lopsided ponytailed girl winced at the chan but otherwise still listened. "She's faster than your fingers could ever be." She then smirked. The blue eyed girl's attention turned to the blonde, the blonde caught on the sexual undertone, and she blushed. "Want to try?"

"If you don't mi—" the blue eyed female said as she faced to faced with a pointed tip of something. A hand caught in the middle of the long and thin object, blonde hair fluttering right on her face. "Not bad, Ms. Enforcer." She told her and smiled.

"Hayate, stop that. That was dangerous. You could've done something else. And I'm not that fast, someone's better than I am." The blonde said and walked towards the short haired brunette who smiled apologetically at her. "And even though this thing is just the key to her cuffs the tip is still pointed."

"So do you accept the mission now?" the short haired brunette still a grin on her face, leaned onto one of her hands and looked at the two of them. The mahogany haired female looked to her side with a 'Tsk,' and sighed. "That's a yes there, Fate-chan?"

The blonde just sighed and reached for her head. She slumped her shoulders and shook her head. She smiled at her friend and saluted, "Can I ever refuse you, Hayate?"

"Does the military tolerate this kind of fraternization?" the slate blue eyed female asked looking at the General in-front of them.

The blonde looked at her, but they accidentally avoided each other's gaze. The general just chuckled a bit and appeared less strict. "No. But this isn't a military office. In this place, rank means nothing."

"She just saluted you, right?" the slate blue-eyed female asked.

"That's just out of habit. Fate-chan, she's asking you to quit it." Yagami Hayate said and smiled at the blonde.

The blonde scratched her head and chuckled a bit. "I guess it was a habit." She said, she then knelt down in-front of the handcuffed female and let go of her hands. "I'm Fate Testarossa, nice to meet you." She introduced herself and extended a hand towards the chestnut haired female, looking at her.

Wine red meeting with sky blue. A slight tint of blush spread across the face of the said felon and quickly looked away. "Nanoha Takamachi pleased to meet you." She stood up upon having her hands free, completely ignoring the extended hand before her. She walked near the window and rested her back beside it. "So spill the beans about this mission already." She asked the General completely ignoring the blonde's gaze.

Wine eyes looked at blue as she furrowed her eyebrows. Hayate just shrugged, "Tsundere much…?" she whispered.

"What?" slate blue eyes squinted, her facial expression into a scowl.

"I said, 'shoe-in-there-much?' I'm not one to make too much sense. So I'm giving you your mission details, and listen to me, carefully."

"Thank you very much!" The blonde bowed as she waved at a taxi pull out of the garage and drive away from the location.

Chestnut hair went astride with the wind lopsided ponytail swaying the same direction. Slate-blue eyes looked up at the building before them as the blonde looked up as well.

"There's this large warehouse in the middle of the city. You're going to setup a private investigations office there, the two of you would be the main investigators. You two take up different tasks, from a small scale one to a large scale one. I'm also gonna send in some of my trustworthy colleagues to assist you in this mission."

xxx

The two of them went inside and explored. It was empty, as if it was completely wiped out. There were seven rooms, two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room and the kitchen, one room in-front as the front desk, and one room beside that that acts as the meeting room.

xxx

"If it's an office it means forever, right? What part of freedom do I get from there?"

xxx

They observed the building beside it, and it was a Police Department office disguised as a Bread Factory. It seems like everything was prepared from locations to personnel… not in the appliances though. Looks like the two of them who's going to start living there together would have to buy everything.

xxx

"The freedom you get is before and after office hours. You already agreed no more taking it back, and besides, that's better than some mouldy cell isn't it? The office would only be open from 10am to 6pm. Time before and after those and every Sundays are your free days."

xxx

The two of them walked outside and noticed that there was a completely difference place behind the said large warehouse. There was a pool and a miniature gym consisting of weight lifting, treadmill and some exercise mats. It was a really large place, but from the outside the only thing that could see was the main office.

xxx

"And then? Hayate, why this?"

xxx

The two of them although surprised acted civil and composed. "Ah, Nano… Taka… Na-… Takamachi-san, where are you going?" The blonde asked the blue eyed female beside her who suddenly turned to a corner, and into the gym slash swimming pool that's directly behind the house.

xxx

"It was come to my knowledge that there are a lot of underhanded cases that doesn't get reported because of the lack of private investigators. Because of the Male Division of the Military, trust to the police is practically close to zero. So if we created a small agency that is private, and unrelated to the 'dirty officers,' at least people would start trusting others again. And we might be able to prevent more incidents."

xxx

"Nanoha is fine." She said as her hair flutters while walking towards the Olympic sized outdoor pool. Although outdoor, the whole back part of the warehouse only has large trees and the rest were walls. The place was definitely closed off to strangers. She kneeled down beside the deep part of the pool and let her hand run through the water. "This…" She dug her hand into the water and pressed a button at the side of the pool. It then quickly drained the water.

xxx

Yagami Hayate threw something at the blonde who caught it within arm's reach. The short haired brunette smiled at the blonde's quick reflexes, Nanoha ignored it. "That's the key to the large warehouse. A taxi's outside, you two can take it there. The driver already knows where it is. And oh, a client will arrive at 7pm. Tend to your client nicely, okay?" Looking at Nanoha upon mentioning 'nicely' and chuckled.

xxx

"How'd you know that was a water recycling button?" The blonde asked. Walking towards her as she looked around the surroundings, it was pretty sealed off but the place was very refreshing. She looked at the trees. It looks like they extended into a mini forest near the back. The place was really big, but what's obvious is that, it just looks like a normal office from the outside and a horrendously big place behind it. Not to mention the said house was connected to the pseudo-Bread Factory nearby through an air bridge.

xxx

The chestnut haired female sighed and stood to her toes. She then walked past the blonde and went to the elevator. "Let's go Blondie." She said as the said blonde followed her, nodding towards Hayate, and rode the elevator down. It was a very silent ride. One, Fate Testarossa isn't one who's good at dealing with people she's met for the first time. Two, Nanoha Takamachi doesn't seem the talkative type.

xxx

"This… was my house." Slate-blue eyes closed and stared into the mini forest. "I guess General Yagami bought it off my parents. After I was arrested, ten years ago." She said and stood up, she was supposedly going into the forest but the doorbell suddenly rang. She pivoted fast to the direction we came from unconsciously she tripped over a stray electric cable. Flaxen strands moved in a flash, catching her softly into her arms. Dark Sky blue stared into her eyes as arms were wrapped into the brunette's slim waist. In a swift movement she pushed the bearer of the red eyes into a wall, engaging in close physical contact that shocked the squashed female, with the sudden close proximity of their faces.

xxx

The whole taxi ride. Fate Testarossa was ignored. Inside the seventy seventh floor of the building, Yagami Hayate sighed in relief and chuckled. "I'm such a cupid of some sort."

xxx

A blush spread across the blonde's face. She saved her and yet she got cornered onto the wall. She still held the smaller female's waist as that same female's hands were right beside her neck pressed to the wall. They both stared into each other's eyes, not letting go of anyone. The brunette's head started moving, closer, engulfing the distance between them. "Na-Nanoha. T-the doorbell rang… right? Y-You wouldn't want to make the person wait?"

Slate-blue eyes widened, she pulled back, half-hurriedly removing the arms from her waist and escaped through the last door they went through and opened the door. Fate Testarossa sighed. It wasn't the first time she sensed danger. But that was truthfully scary. Or so she thought, it was.

Earlier that day, in the Mid-Childan Coast Fort was something Fate Testarossa visited every day. It was a prison meant for infamous convicts that demanded with all certainty, be watched vigilantly by keen-eyed eagles. This base was guarded by Yagami Hayate's Wolkenritter, four of them assigned to Assigned to their respective wards by virtue of their expertise.

"Hayate! I didn't hear anything about this!" Fierce red eyes bore into blue. "I accepted the fact that I can't climb the ranks any further because of my—"

"That's exactly why I'm asking you to do this." Hayate answered her as a matter of fact leaning her hand onto the wall across the blonde. "If you don't want to do it for your position, then do it as a favor for a friend."

"Hayate, why would I do this for you as a friend? You're asking me to take care of a criminal with a life sentence!" Fierce blonde still bore to the short blue eyed brunette. Yagami Hayate never flinched, nor did she lose composure. "Hayate, I don't really know in what way this is a benefit to me."

"Then what if I told you, that you're the only one who can do this mission because of your not-so-pleasant connection to her family?" Hayate told her with an irritating smug look that totally ticked off the blonde. "So that being the case, can anyone else but you can do this?"

"You know Hayate, that I…" The blonde tried arguing, slamming her fist to the wall. "Fine."

On the other side of that wall, was the used to be well-known fugitive arranging her belongings. She doesn't have any idea whether she will go back there after this deal that will only come once to her, or not if she accepted this but could be a lie.

"You're being called by the General. Takamachi Nano—Na-Nanto-something." A short female with orange reddish hair tied into braided twintails with a hat called to her. "Something about a deal with your freedom on the line."

"Come on, don't say that, Little Girl Vita-chan, this might be the last time you might see me." Nanoha told her and smirked. "I'll see you sometime again, maybe." She excited the dark cell and patted the head of the smaller female. "And oh, it's Na-No-Ha."

"I'm not a little girl, dammit!" Short female named Vita shouted at her as she locked the cell the chestnut haired female exited from.

"Ah, there's our criminal, then let's go." General Yagami Hayate then led them into an elevator and took them to her private office.

Presently, Nanoha Takamachi opened the main office's door, and was greeted by an all too familiar appearance. "Yo!" It greeted.

"Oh, it's you." Nanoha said and started closing the door when hands of the visitor suddenly grabbed the door. "What?"

"I'm your first client! Hey!" The bearer of the voice said as it desperately tried to open the door. "C'mon~"

"You've got to be kidding me—" Nanoha said in an all too stoic way when Fate arrived in the scene after fixing her heartbeat.

"Hayate." Fate called her name as Nanoha let go of the door, and Hayate came flying inside. Rolling on the ground with her hands on the same height as her head protecting her precious brain from the impact, she landed right in the middle of the floor lying down face up. "What's up?"

"I told you a client's going to come this evening and to treat that person nicely right?" Hayate got up from the floor and dusted her clothes. "Well your first client is me," The short haired brunette pointed to herself with her thumb.

Takamachi Nanoha sighed, Fate Testarossa raised an eyebrow. The blonde turned to face the chestnut haired female and talked to her, "Nanoha, which bedroom are you gonna stay in then?"

The blue eyed female shrugged and pointed to the direction of the room that's close to backyard. Fate nodded and then walked towards the main house.

"You two don't ignore me!" Hayate said and pouted. "Maybe I've done too much power play on them." She thought. She huffed and crossed her arms. "I'm your first client, so you two take me seriously and get back here." She spoke again in a serious and highly dignified tone. It seems to have caught their attention. The two of them went back to her.

"What is it, General?" Nanoha said as she leaned on the wall. And for some reason, yawned.

"Tired already, Nanoha-chan?" She asked her and looked at her, and then shifted her gaze to the blonde, "You…?" The blonde shook her head left and right and put up her hands in-front of her in denial. "Really?"

"What is it?" Nanoha asked again, and once more, yawned. "If you don't answer now, I'm going to leave you and Blondie, and go to sleep."

Hayate sighed and chuckled. "Fine, fine. As your first client, I want you to go out tomorrow, and buy appliances for the place. You can only buy everything that you need. Your subordinates will arrive tomorrow at exactly twelve noon, so I suggest that you two get up early and leave early, and of course, come back early."

"That's it?" Nanoha said and yawned again. Fate just looked at her and blushed.

"There's got to be something else. You don't go greeting your agents personally, Hayate." Fate said and leaned on the other side of the wall, leaning her head sideways.

"I am ordering you to go to a particular store that opens at seven in the morning. I received files from a male friend working in that particular store. He asks for an official investigation regarding the behavior of his co-workers. In summarization, male workers have been sexually harassing female customers and female clerks, although having all the right to report it to the authorities they are currently kept quiet due to blackmail." Hayate said and face palmed in a glorified way. "With beautiful girls such as you two, I'm sure this mission would go well. I'll see the criminals tomorrow then."

"You sure do have a lot of friends." Takamachi Nanoha retorted as she yawned. "You sure you're not an errand girl or something?"

"Pretty sure I'm not an errand girl, Nanoha-chan." She stood upright and proud. "I'm an errand woman! A grown up, wo~ma~n~" She said it in its glam.

"Then, can you leave now so we—so I can sleep?" Nanoha said, completely ignoring the plural pronoun she accidentally said. Apparently she had consideration for other people, Hayate seemed to notice this as well, but didn't pry onto it. It was roughly past seventy thirty in the evening.

"I will be leaving now, and your luggage is going to arrive at ten later. At least one of you two should receive it." Hayate walked towards the entrance and put on her shoes. "Good luck and, enjoy yourselves." She said and winked at the two of them before going out the door.

Hayate walked outside stretching her arms. "Hmn. I guess that should settle it. Time to get back to some real work." She told herself and smiled.

"Is she always like that?" Nanoha asked Fate as she walked past her, and into her room, slowly opening the door.

"Well… most of the time at least." Fate answered and chuckled lightly. Nanoha was about to open her mouth so speak was cut half-way by the blonde. "Good night. I'll receive the luggage." She told her and smiled a radiant one that warms everyone's hurts.

Nanoha's face flushed slightly pink. It seemed like Fate did not take notice of it due to the house still being dimly lit for having a lack in light bulbs and lamps. "Night." She said and immediately went inside the room. She pressed her back to the door and sat on the floor. "Something about her is… breaking me."

Fate sat on the floor beside the door to Nanoha's room and sighed. "I just can't understand her. She seems so far away and yet gentle at the same time." She sighed again and looked around, "But this place sure is really empty." She told herself and hadn't noticed that she had dozed off a bit.

The loud sound of the door bell ringing made Fate snap her head up in surprise. She immediately stop up and opened the door to find the Delivery Men outside the door. She immediately walked over them and accepted the clipboard. They entered the main house, bringing in and setting the boxes down, and settled down waiting for the clipboard. She hastily signed it and stretched her hands out for them to accept.

Apparently the man clad in red and white wearing a matching cap, his face concealed by the visor, accepted it with his hands flirting around Fate's wrist, giving it an intimate touch.

The blonde raised her eyebrow. The other men looked at her. She knew that someone's up about something.

"Is that how you treat clients every day, mister? Subtle sexual harassment." A voice all too familiar to Fate echoed from inside the room. She walked towards the men who started sweat dropping. "Your business is done right? We can do the arrangement ourselves." Nanoha said and almightily stood beside Fate. The man who was previously making a move on the blonde, took a step backwards.

"Or you'd not respect some of our private time?" The chestnut haired female snaked her arms around the blonde's neck pulling her down. She nibbled on the shocked red eyed female's ear, as the men started walking out the door. "Please show yourself outside, as to we are busy. Thanks!" She told them as delivery men scuttled outside, bowing in regards to them and closing the door. They heard a car engine start and immediately leave in seconds.

"Na-na-na-na-nano-nano-nano…" Fate tried talking her face caught fire. "Nano...Nano..." She stuttered her way to her eyes and stared at it. Slate-blue eyes were half-opened, filled with sensual temptation, and a tint of seduction. Her hair seemed like she just got out of bed, and a few buttons of her blouse were open.

"Don't act passive towards them..." She said in that cold, sultry voice, chestnut hair slowly moving nearer the blonde's lips. "You don't know what they'll do to you," She told her hot breathe grazing on the blonde's upper lip, "Even if you're an Enforcer." She looked down to the floor, and softly pushed the flaxen haired female away from her.

Slate blue eyes wandered around, as she turned her back to still shocked wine ones. She then knelt onto one of the boxes with her name on it, "Let's unpack." She said.

And that was the last word uttered during that evening. The air was filled with a tint of an awkward atmosphere, the chestnut haired female not making a move or having contact with the blonde. And the poor Enforcer who is possibly over thinking quite a few things right now, with their first few encounters.

This is not how she normally acts. "Something about her... just throws me off-balance." She reached for her blonde hair and shook her head left and right.

Day - End.
