-Nanoha's problem-

Nanoha perspective

I was sitting down having a nice cup of coffee out side a cafe when a man with long blond hair came up to me in a lab coat. Two of my collage friends were with him and they began to speak with me. One of them was my child hood friend, Yuno and the other was Chrono. They told me that if I came with them to help with their school project that they would be able to pass their class for the semester.

Yuno had a strange look on his face as did Chrono but because I knew and trusted them I followed them as they drove me to a lab. I can't recall the name but it was far away from where we lived. Lush green foliage was everywhere and the nature that surrounded the place was magnificent.

As we entered the building my friends led me to a room. They explained to me that if this experiment worked that they could show the results to the class and that they would not only pass but continue their research to help revolutionize medicine. I would also get credit for the class and get some money for helping them and the company. Seeing as I was also in need of money they offered me significant amount and I couldn't refuse.

Something didn't feel right though. When I arrived at the lab I was given some cloths and I got changed in shorts and a tank top that was tight on my body. As I walked into the room I was told to sit in a chair. The room was white with glass at the top where the doctors and my two friends could observe me. A scientist put patches that stuck onto my arms and legs. I felt a chill go though my body and a little dizziness but after a few minutes it went away. So far I felt nothing.

I was told to run and do a back flip, than lift up a 200lb dumbbell, punch a brick wall and some other strange things. I did what I was told and succeeded. It turned out to be a strength and agility test. The patches acted like a type of steroid that wouldn't bulk you up or "supposedly" NOT have any side effects. It was mainly going to be used for people with muscle issues but they had to make sure things would be alright.

After a few hours the tests were all successful. Chrono and Yuno thanked me and the praise went all around the lab. Their nervousness and relief were put to rest. However ,the man with the blond hair in the white lab coat wanted to speak with me alone. A small celebration party broke out and I was separated from Yuno and Chrono seeing as they were distracted and didn't notice the man leading me into another room.

I got a bad feeling from the man in the lab coat and he led me to a room that was empty with just a chair with straps in it. "It seems that you're the best subject in general. Do you know how many people tried that experiment and failed? I must use you for further experiments. Seeing as you have a good body type your perfect for our companies' development and maybe… something a little more."

The man had a lustful look in his eyes and backed me into the chair. I was scared. "Leave me alone! Chrono! Yuno! Help!" The man slapped my face and threw me into the chair. Disoriented he tried strapping me into the chair but because I still had those agility patches on me I was able punch him in the face HARD wonder away from his grasp.

As I ran towards the door it was locked and he lunged at me with a needle and stabbed me in the neck with it. Screaming with pain my knees gave way and I collapsed onto the ground. Suddenly my body began to convulse uncontrollably. The man stood over me and began to laugh uncontrollably. What does he want with me? I thought with distress. Suddenly he starts to open his lab coat and unbuckle his pants. Realizing what he was about to do I was helpless.

"Now you stupid bitch its time for my experiment to begin." He licked my face and began to pull down my shorts. My body stopped moving and I was completely immobilized. Right when the man came closer I woke up.

I woke up scared and sweaty. I looked around to see where I was and I was in my room. My hands were shaking and I looked around for Fate but couldn't see her.

"Fate? Fate where are you?" I started to panic for some reason. I'v never had a panic attack like this such a long time. I got out of bed and my legs were shaking. I ran to the bathroom to vomit but nothing came up. Shaking I weakly grabbed onto the sink and splashed water on my face and grabbed. Tears welled up in my eyes. That dream. That time. It constantly haunts me it was longer this time.

"Fate-chan...where are you?" I called out. Feeling weak I walked out of the bathroom panting hard as the thunder crackled in the back ground. It startled me and I curled up into a ball on the floor hugging my knees feeling very weak and sick like that time long ago.

"Fate..." I started to cry. But I felt something lick my hand. I lifted up my head and to great surprise my savior K-9 savior was before me. "Fate!" I embraced her and held her close.

"Nanoha? You alright?" Fate asked. I didn't say anything I held her close and continued to shake and didn't say anything for a few minutes. I had to maintain my composure and fight back my thoughts as well as my inhuman desires.

Suddenly I felt strong Arms embrace me. I looked up and opened my eyes and before me was...a woman with long blond hair and dog like ears again. It was Fate as a human again. This time I didn't care if I were dreaming or not. My tears stopped and looked at her fully.

"Don't cry Nanoha. Fate here." She said in a low husky voice. I looked her up and down. Her naked form displayed before me. She was beautiful and I couldn't help but touch her cheek gently. I wrapped my arms around her neck and I didn't care if she were naked or anything else in the world. I was just glad that someone for once in my life was there for me when I had my panic attacks.

We held each other for what seemed like an eternity. I finally pulled away and held her hands. "Thank you Fate-Chan", she smiled at me and wiggled her ears and swished her tail. She licked my cheek and it made me giggle. "Your so silly Fate."

"Fate like Nanoha a lot. Fate watch over Nanoha." She bump her forehead gently into mine and because she was human she hit me a little to hard.

"Ouch! Fate-chan that hurt." I giggled. Looks like she's not use to being human anymore. The bump on my head made me forget bout my previous episode.

"So...sorry Nanoha." She drooped her ears. This was such a strange phenomenon. I placed my hand on her head and rubbed it. Then I cupped her face in my hands and said, "Don't worry Fate-chan. It was an accident. But over all...thank you. Thank you for comforting me," and with that I kissed her gently on the lips.

When I opened my eyes Fate was no longer human she was a dog again. My heart ached at her as I'm sure her's ached for mine. I sighed happily picked her up and went back to bed where we cuddled once more. Starting tomorrow I will help Fate turn back into a human. Maybe get some answers from Shamal.

The next day I received a call from Shamal early that morning. She told me that I needed to come down to her ranch as soon as I could. We hopped into my car and drove like a bat out of hell to get there.

When we arrived there was a big blue dog that looked like a wolf waiting outside. He stared at us as Fate and I parked in the rocky driveway. Shamal came to greet us and shuffled us towards her house. Inside she made me coffee and gave Fate some water. She sat down and looked at me with a serious face.

"Nanoha I have some interesting news to tell you." I looked at her and my eye brow went up as I sipped the coffee. Mm French Vanilla.

"Oh? Did you find something about Fate?"

"I found out stuff about Fate...as well as you." I looked seriously at her and put down my coffee. "The collar that you gave me to analyze came from a Lab called "Machilda Labs". She took out the collar and placed it on the table.

"This collar is a form of restraint for the animals that have been kept at the Laboratory. The spikes would inject nanomites that would control the wearers muscles. But the nanomites would deteriorate if the animal has not worn the collar for more then 24 hours."

"So all those times she was trying to talk to me she couldn't because those nanomites were damaging certain parts in her system?" I asked.

"Well they wouldn't damage the organs more like strengthening certain muscles or stop some from working completely. So they would be controlling cretin organs. Someone must have programmed the nanomites to prevent her from talking. Who knows what else they did too her" Shamal replied while looking at Fate.

I nodded "So Fate when you said you were trying to talk to me when we first met that collar was really hurting you then." Fate looked up and nodded at me.

"I also found out that the DNA on the Collar was human DNA but it also had a mix of K-9 DNA like my dog Zafaraz. Very similar to his breed. I found Zafara in the woods all battered and beaten with the same collar on him a year ago. But he doesn't have any Human DNA in his chemical make up." Shamal took a sip of her coffee.

Fate hopped into a chair in between us at the table. "So Fate not dog. Fate truly human?" Shamal nodded. "Fate new it!"

Shamal and I giggled. "Yes you are but because of this...it makes me think...does this lab have other animals in there that are human as well? What were you and Zafara there for? So many questions come to mind. But the biggest one is...how do we get you back to being a human again?"

I looked at Shamal and blushed remembering yesterday, "I...I..well..Fate turned into a human yesterday."

"She did? Was it something that triggered her to turn? How did you turn into a Human Fate can you remember?" She asked excitedly

Fate blushed, "Fate was in the shower with Nanoha and she washed me and I became excited. And Fates body felt funny and..." Before she could finish her sentence I grabbed her muzzle.

"I Uhh...well... she Umm...she. Well she turned human. Nyahahahhaha" I laughed nervously.

Shamal smiled at me and giggled then winked, "Interesting. You turned into a human when warm water hit your body? That sounds like that character from that anime Ranma ½ ." She said with a giggle. "Or…was it because when you became excited?" She winked at me and I was completely embarrassed!

"Well it looks like you two are going to have to figure that one out later. Test out something's. Maybe do an activity that will help Fate harness and hold her human form."

I smiled at Shamal, "That sounds like a great idea Shamal. Would you mind if I continued to help you Fate?" She looked very happy and she wagged her tail and nodded.

"One last thing before I forget. Nanoha, I don't mean to bring up bad memories but this collar came from the same company where you were attacked 4 years ago. As you know because of that attack you're also different like Fate."

I gripped the mug and bit my bottom lip that time at the lab has changed me both physically and mentally. I'v had to come to Shamal for her help in order to harness this dark side…or inner beast that has plagued my life. I've wanted revenge from that company for years. But because it is not in my nature to destroy I've just wanted justice. To right the wrongs that has happened to not only myself and Fate but also others that may have been affected.

"I think if you two work together you might be able to expose Machilda Labs for what it really is. To be honest Nanoha…they took someone near and dear from me." Her eyes began to water as she spoke. "They have not only taken some of my beloved animals but also someone who has protected and loved me for years. When Zafara came into my life I felt the need to research and find a way to stop them from doing cruel things to animals and people. I know that with your help we can get back at them for what they did," her hand balled into a fist and I could see the determination in her eyes.

"Then we shall all work together. Let's take down this lab and right what has been wronged to us." I said in a determined voice. We shook hands and Fate put her paw in with us which made us both giggle.

Fates perspective

As we left Shamal's place I was full of questions mainly about Nanoha. What was Shamal talking about back there? What did she mean by Nanoha being like me? Was she a dog like me? So many questions filled my mind so I stopped beating around the bush and asked.

"Nanoha, what Shamal mean by you being similar to Fate? What happened?" I notice her grip the wheel and bite her lip.

She took a deep breath, "Fate…I will tell you when we back to the house. It's a long story." I nodded my head to let her know I understand.

When we arrived at her home we sat down on the couch. Getting comfortable we settled next to each other. And she began her story; she told me about the experiment, the doctor who tried to rape and molest her and how her friends couldn't hear her cries.

"And then…something happened that I didn't expect would happen. Something that caused me to snap, what ever the doctor injected in me it gave a reaction from the patches that Yuno and Chrono created. I gained strength that proved to be uncontrollable." She held onto her shirt and her lip began to quiver. I move closer to her and licked her hand.

"I…I…totally blacked out after that memory but when I woke up the man's body was torn apart and blood was everywhere, I totally dismembered him. There was blood on my hands and body and when I looked at them I threw up. I couldn't understand what had happened? Was it me that did…something so inhumane?"

Her hands were shaking and tears began to form in her eyes. I put a paw on her arm to encourage her to continue her story.

"Then…after that I fainted. I woke up in the hospital. Apparently the substances that were in my body caused me to react to them…in a strange way. So strange that all of a sudden…I would feel the need to fight and to hurt…people physically. After the satisfaction of hurting someone… I…I would…pleasure myself." I tilted my head in confusion.

"What does "pleasure yourself" mean? Fate confused." I said. Nanoha 's tears stopped and she mildly smiled. She whispered something into my ear that embarrassed me but I was still a little confused. She laughed slightly and then hugged me. "Umm…well…Fate it's hard to explain."

Her eyes watered "I'm a monster Fate. When I get angry or distressed or scared…I…can't control myself. I've gone to Shamal for help, practiced meditating and martial arts to harness my power and so far it's worked. But" Her tears fell fully now, "Every once and a while…I slip." Her tears started to fall fully and I got that strange feeling again where my body began to change.

My heart felt for her and wanted her to feel better. With these emotions building up inside myself they released and turned me into a human again. I looked at her and turned her head towards me. I licked her cheeks taking away her tears. Hoping to take away some of the sadness that she has held with in her heart. She made a little hiccup noise as she opened her eyes and looked into them deeply. Deep blue Sapphire eyes beamed into my deep red rosy ones.

I embraced her once more and then from out of no where she kissed me on the lips like. She then nuzzled my neck which subconsciously caused my tail to wag. That lovely sent came again and oh boy did it smell good. "Fate…I…I don't know…if… I might loose control again. Fate." I kissed her back and held her.

I wasn't sure what to do. Nanoha's had that sweet smell was emanating from her again and she cuddled into me. We fell back on the couch and she sniffled. I wrapped my arms around her waist and held her. After a while she stopped crying and we lay there in silence. I couldn't say anything. I was processing everything that she told me. She apparently has super strength, speed, and agility like me...but she doesn't turn into a dog. Or does she? She...has something else that I can't seem to understand which is frustrating her deeply. She began to wiggle and moan against my body. She was repressing...something and every time she would move and moan a little that smell emanated and seemed a little stronger. This smell was...addictive...a flowery musky sent that relaxed me but that time wanted me to become animal like. When we were in the shower it also made me feel very confused. Especially near my nether region. She trembled and it sounded like she was going to cry again.

"Na...Nanoha you okay?" She looked up at me with watery eyes. And buried her face back into the crook of my neck.

"Fate...I'm...fighting back...my...urges...please...just hold me. Mmm..." She started to cry once more and all I could do was abide to her needs, hold her, and comfort her to get her though the nigh. I would hold her as long as I could hold my form. I hope what ever is wrong we can figure it out together.

Authors notes: Sorry it took so long to update. I was supposed to update this past Friday but the power went out all over my town. I just got it back on Sunday. Anyway thank you all for the reviews. It has brought me confidence I was actually very scared to even post this fic to begin with. But seeing as its going well I will keep going!

I have 3 more chapters done but I HAVE to have my friend proof read them for me. This chapter wasn't proof read by her but I went over it the best I could. I don't know when I can get help with it again. I have partial dyslexia so something like that. I don't know I get it from my dad. We have this thing when I think a word is correct it turns out to be wrong or when I write down a word and say it in my mind I type another word. I don't think that's dyslexia but holy cow it gets annoying.

Thanks everyone I hope to post chapter 4 very soon…and trust me…. It's going to be a HOT ONE!
