Miracles Do Happen

Nanoha & Fate

Part 2

Flashback (Nanoha's Dream) - 7 Years Ago.

Fire burning on the roofs of houses, people screaming for their lives...the small village called Kyruubi had been serverely massacred by ruthless soldiers who gave no merci.

They had slaughtered and burnt everything in their path...and yet...more was to come...

"Help me...please help me...someone...anybody..." A small child all alone still in a house with flames around it...she was crying...tears had dropped to the ground and was very scared.

She walked along abit further trying to keep her balance as she was very immune to falling over...she fell over onto her knee's and looked around the blazing room.

she saw something terrible...so terrible that she let out a huge scream and had slowly turned into crying....

She saw her parents lying on the floor on their stomachs with their eyes open...they were dead.

The little girl called out "Mama...Papa...why do you leave me???" The little girl couldn't move her legs...she thought she had to otherwise she'd die but they just would not move for her.

Suddenly she heard a small voice in the far distance, "Fate-chan...Fate-chan where are you? Please answer me..." *cough cough*.

The little girl who was called Fate had the courage and strength to call out to the voice who was calling her, "I'm here.."*cough* "please help me..."

The voice who had called out for Fate was suddenly starting to come into view and was a shadow in the smoke.

Fate had quickly wiped her tears and started to smile...she saw her best friend Nanoha running right towards her...her face was then into clear view and Fate held out her arms ready to hug her friend when a flaming log fell down between them...

Present Time

"Wake up...wake up...wake up..." Nanoha was hearing small voices she could barely hear, but got louder and louder as she began to awake, it was Suzuka trying to wake Nanoha up by gently shoving her constantly until she finally awoke. "wake up Nano it's lunch time and you know what that means? Arisa gets to tell us that thing she was gonna tell us earlier...right Arisa?"

"Hmph...whatever." Arisa said as she was looking the total opposite way to Suzuka and Nanoha with her nose in up in the air with a not so happy look. " why did i go and have to open my big mouth?"

"Come on Arisa...don't be like that...you can tell us and get it over with..." said Nanoha to her friend convincingly.

"What were you dreaming about anyway Nanoha? anything nice?" said Suzuka eager to get an answer.

"Uhh...it's nothing...just a little dream...nothing exciting really..." Nanoha said trying to let her dream go behind her.

"oh ok then...anyway we got to pack our things in a minute...we got 5 minutes til lunch time and the teacher has gone somewhere..."

The bell had rung for lunch time...Nanoha, Arisa and Suzuka all sat down on the dinner table with their tray full of food.

"ok guys, I am going to tell you but it's quite embarrassing so please don't laugh ok?" Arisa said unsure.

Nanoha and Suzuka smiled and nodded their heads...then Arisa took a deep breath as she told her story.

"It was two years ago and I..."

Arisa-chan's Flashback

"Hey Arisa, how are you today?

"Yeah, I am fine thank you...how about you miss?

"I am good thank you...need help with anything?"

"Yes please...i'm stuck on this maths problem..."

"Ok, let me see that for you..."

As the teacher was sorting out Arisa's problem, Arisa looked at Mrs Nishimura and began to ask her a question.

"Miss...can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, what is it Arisa?"

"Right, how can i say this...what would you do if you had a crush on someone but couldn't keep it in any longer...should i tell that person i like them?"

"I think that is a good idea yes...I mean, they are only going to say yes or no right?"

"Uh...yeah I guess you're right Mrs Nishimura!"

Arisa smiled at the teacher as she smiled back at Arisa.

"Can I ask who this person is Arisa? Is he nice...do you talk to him alot?"

"err...well...you see...the person who i like is not achually a boy..."

"Oh...they are not? well who is this girl you like then?"

"Well...umm..uh...IT'S YOU MRS NISHIMURA!!!!!!"

Arisa had burst out in total embarrassment and went bright red...Mrs Nishimura was a little shocked by the answer but thought about how Arisa was feeling.

"Well Arisa, thank you very much for liking me in that way but i'm a little too old for you and i'm a married woman...i hope you understand?"

"Yes I do...I'm so sorry Miss..."

Mrs Nishimura could see the look on Arisa's face as she was sad and was almost about to cry...she felt sorry for Arisa.

"I'll tell you what though if i see a girl i think you'll like, i'll let you know ok?"

"Oh...but miss...you were the only girl I had a crush on...I normally like boys...or I thought i did..."

"Well Arisa, if you ever need to talk about girl or guy problems, then come to me ok...i'll be sure to do my best to help you out!"

Arisa gave her teacher a smile and a hug.

"Thank you miss..."

Present Time

Nanoha and Suzuka could not believe what they had heard from Arisa, they both had their jaw wide open and completely shocked.

"Wow Arisa...you been keeping this secret for the whole time?" Nanoha said with the still shocked look on her face of when she had just heard Arisa's story.

"Why didn't you tell us you were into girls aswell as boys...we could of talked about girls from all those times we had been talking about boys aswell you know...but you had a crush on you teacher and told her?" said Suzuka with a smile on her face.

Arisa-chan had started to speak for the first time since she had told her story. "err...well yeah...it's just so embarrassing and i don't like to talk to anyone about it..." Arisa said going bright red and looking down onto the dinner table.

"You can tell us anything Arisa, we are your best friends!" Nanoha said with a grin on her face. "Yeah anything..." Suzuka replied.

Just then a blonde girl with burgundy eyes appeared. "May I sit with you three please?" she said with a bit of a nervous look on her face.

Nanoha's eyes began to widen up...it was the girl from this morning.

"Oh yeah go ahead...please sit..." Suzuka said with a big smile, "what is your name?"

"Fate...Fate Testarossa..." the blonde haired girl replied. "I'm new here at this school and thought that you girls seem nice so I asked if i could sit here..."

Fate was then looking at Nanoha and gave her a slight wink without the other two girls looking.

Nanoha went slightly red and looked the other way...for some reason the name Fate seemed familiar but couldn't work out where she had heard it before.

"Say Fate-chan...did you happen to save Nanoha from a bunch of guys this morning? It's just that you have the same colour hair and eyes as she described the girl who saved her this morning..." said Arisa.

"This morning...what happened this morning..." Fate said in a low tone almost whispering, "Oh yes...I know now...yeah, i saw her down on the floor and looked in a lot of pain...so i went and helped her..." Fate said with a friendly smile.

"wow...Nano, you told us how she kicked those guys asses but you didn't tell us how pretty and cool she was...also Fate...how did you know Nanoha's name?" Arisa said coming out with all these questions.

"Erm...well..i...umm..well her face seemed familiar somewhere and i just happened to know her name...i'm pretty sure we've met before but i can't remember where..." Fate said stuttering with her words as to trying to remember where she and Nanoha had met before.

"Nano...why are you not speaking? you havn't said a word since Fate has been here...anything wrong?" said Suzuka wondering why her friend wasn't speaking.

"uhh...no nothings wrong...i need the toilet right now...i won't be long ok..." said Nanoha as she got out of her seat and walked to the toilet.

As Nanoha had finished and pulled the chain...she washed her hands while looking in the mirror...she was alone in the toilet at that precise moment...she had thought about the dream she had earlier in class and that girl...somehow they were coming together as one...she took a few seconds and thought even harder.

Suddenly she remembered that Fate-chan was the girl in her dream which involved a terrible past...just then, Fate was behind her...Nanoha quickly turned and saw Fate coming towards her...closer...closer..and closer...before Nanoha knew what had happened...she was being kissed by Fate-chan...a kiss which was long lasting and passionate...a kiss that Nanoha had wanted to pull away from but yet couldn't...she couldn't resist...she slowly began to close her eyes and go along with it.
