Author's Note: Sorry it took so long! I had a hard time writing because I almost gave up on this story and FINALLY finished it. I think this story is really bad... :( But I'm still very happy that there are actually people who read my story. Thank you all for reading this fanfiction! This is the last chapter in this story. I'm thinking of writing another story with Yuuno getting Celestial Heart but in different plot. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter. :)

SUNDAY MORNING, IN THE PARK

Nanoha wheeled Yuuno around the park, both of them enjoying the scenery. Flowers of all kinds were in bloom, and they reached the park's Sakura Grove.

As the name Sakura Grove says, the grove is full of sakura trees, specially imported from Japan, Earth. A warm breeze picked up and the pink blossoms fluttered, causing pink petals to fall to the ground.

Nanoha stopped in front of several sakura trees, sitting down at the bench.

"The flowers are pretty," Yuuno commented.

"Yeah. It feels nostalgic to see these flowers from Japan." Nanoha said.

"Why don't you go home and visit your family?" Yuuno turned around to face the brunette, sensing her longing for home.

"I'm planning to go back with Hayate-chan, Fate-chan, Vivio, Vita-chan and the others four months after." A smile lit up on Nanoha's face.

Yuuno nodded in understanding and Nanoha asked him, "What about you? Are you going back to the Scrya Clan?"

"I'm going back after two months; my people told me that they are going to start a dig two months later."

"I see. Ah, I was thinking about something yesterday night. Did you bring Celestial Heart with you?"

"Yes, it's on my neck." Yuuno pointed to the device hanging around his neck. The green pearl flew out of its place on the necklace, hovering in front of Yuuno.

Nanoha took out Raising Heart from her necklace and said, "Since Raising Heart and Celestial Heart are the same, would it be possible for both of us to switch devices?"

"Yes." The two devices replied at the same time.

"Yuuno-kun, let's use each other's devices for just today, okay?" Nanoha asked.

"Sure."

"Celestial Heart, set up!" Nanoha transformed, enveloping in a coat of green light. Her barrier jacket was the same, except that the usually red pearl was green instead.

"Why is my barrier jacket the same?" The brunette questioned.

"It is your barrier jacket, my master." Celestial Heart replied.

Nanoha grinned and told Yuuno, "Since you're injured, don't transform. We'll do this another time."

With that, the brunette changed out of her barrier jacket and replaced Celestial Heart back to Raising Heart.

Both people had a relaxing time catching up with one another, relieving childhood memories. They had a satisfying lunch Section Six sent them. After lunch, Yuuno had to go back for a physiotherapy session.

"See you later, Nanoha!" Yuuno waved goodbye as he entered the room. Nanoha waved back and she went to the training grounds, meeting Vita, Fate and the others.

"Why aren't you with Yuuno?" Vita raised an eyebrow.

"He's at a physiotherapy session; it won't be good to interrupt him."

"So, how was the park?" Fate chipped in.

"It was good; we went to see the sakura trees."

"Nanoha-san, what else did you do there?" Subaru asked.

"We talked, and ate lunch. Nothing in particular," Nanoha finished off, amused at her friends' questions.

"Hey, don't go thinking that Yuuno-kun and I are a couple or anything. We're not," Nanoha said, blushing slightly.

"Really, Takamachi? Then why is it that you are blushing?" Signum teased, making the brunette blush even darker.

"Ooohhh…" Her friends nudged her around, giggling.

MEANWHILE, YUUNO IN PHYSIOTHERAPY SESSION WITH SHAMAL

"If the exercises hurt, then stop and start again slowly and gently. Don't go straining yourself just because you want to walk again; if you strained your legs too much, you might not be able to walk properly." Shamal warned as Yuuno pedalled slowly on a bicycle.

"How long must I undergo this physiotherapy?"

"About six weeks; you had three cracked bones in your right leg, a very deep cut in your left leg. Also, you had two fractures in your left arm. You also had two broken ribs. You might take ten to twelve weeks if you strained yourself." Shamal tapped the blonde man's head lightly, cautioning him.

The Head Librarian did pedalling on the bicycle, lifting some objects with his left arm, doing some light twists of his hips and walking slowly with two metal railings supporting him.

It hurt a lot for Yuuno to do these simple tasks; especially walking. He began to understand what it was like for Nanoha when she went through all these when she was eleven.

After two hours, Yuuno sat back down on his wheelchair, his face still visible with signs of mild pain. Shamal wheeled Yuuno back to his room and helped him onto the bed.

"Why do I feel so tired?" The patient asked.

"Because you used a lot of energy in that physiotherapy session. You'll get used to it soon." Shamal pulled up the white covers and tucked it under the patient's neck. She switched off the lights and left the librarian resting in the ward.

SUNDAY EVENING

Yuuno stirred and opened his eyes. The light was dim and the curtains were closed. He saw Nanoha lying at right the side of the bed, leaning in from the chair, her eyes closed.

Not wanting to disturb her, Yuuno shifted to a sitting position and laid a pillow under Nanoha's head. He reached out and petted Nanoha's head fondly and gently. The brunette woke up and saw through slitted eyes that the librarian was awake and that she had a pillow under her face.

She smiled at Yuuno's gentlemanly character and allowed him to pet her head.

"Yuuno-kun's petting feels so nice." She mumbled, half-awake.

Yuuno, surprised, shot his right hand back.

I better teleport her back to her room. The librarian gulped. A green magic circle appeared under Nanoha and she opened her eyes, alarmed.

"Yuuno-kun, what are you doing?" The brunette asked.

"I'm teleporting you back to your room, since you're tired."

"Okay, thank you." Nanoha smiled, and in an instant, she was back in her room.

And she saw Vivio, Fate, Hayate, Rein, Signum, Agito, Vita, Subaru, Teana, Erio, Caro, Vice and Shari in her room.

"Oh, everyone was spying on me and Yuuno-kun!" Nanoha exclaimed, furrowing her eyebrows.

Everyone laughed tensely and left the room, leaving Vivio, Fate and Hayate sitting on the bed.

You've known Yuuno for eleven years already, Nanoha. From nine years old to twenty. Fate looked at her friend in the eyes.

You know the answer, Nanoha-chan. You know it. Hayate stood up, and left the room.

IN THE WARD

Yuuno, lying in the bed, stared at Celestial Heart, hovering in front of him. With a sigh, he closed his eyes and slept.

MONDAY MORNING

"Shamal, can I go back to the Infinity Library now?" Yuuno asked while eating his breakfast in the bed.

"You still have physiotherapy sessions, mister. Also, the Bureau gave you a year of leave to recover from your wounds." Shamal said firmly.

Yuuno remained silent.

After several moments, Shamal gave in. Knowing the blonde man for eleven years now, she knew he is responsible and reliable. His work is very much important to him.

"All right, I'll let you go back for today. Make sure to come back at two for a physio session and you have to be back at eight, the latest." Shamal got Yuuno some fresh change of clothes: a long-sleeved white shirt, a pair of navy blue pants and a pair of black shoes.

Thank you very much, Shamal. The librarian smiled and got up slowly, limping and making his way to the bathroom.

Finally, he came out after half an hour, in new clothes. Shamal went forward and wrapped her arm around her patient, supporting him.

The doctor helped Yuuno into a wheelchair and Yuuno grabbed his device, hanging it around his neck. Shamal pushed the wheelchair to the teleporting pads at the far end of Section Six.

While the two of them are making their way to the pads, everyone else had come back from training for a short break. When the three aces and the Wolkenritter saw Yuuno and Shamal, they stood in front of them. Rein was pouting; Agito crossed her arms and legs.

"Shamal, what's going on?" Signum demanded, raising her eyebrow.

"Yuuno's going back to work, only for today." Shamal replied.

"What's wrong with you, Yuuno? You're not even recovered yet," Vita barked.

"I really must get back to the Infinity Library; I'm really behind my work." Yuuno looked at his friends.

"Fine, but come back as soon as you finish," Hayate said in a commanding tone.

"Roger." Yuuno gave a small smile and teleported to the Infinity Library.

6 HOURS LATER

The Head Librarian wheeled himself to his room back at Section Six, sitting up on the bed. Knowing that his friends were at the training grounds, he transformed into his ferret form and made his way to his friends.

Yuuno had Celestial Heart around his neck, and he grinned when he saw Vita pulverising Subaru. Teana was fighting against Nanoha in their positions as Centre Guards. Erio was exchanging blows with Signum, while Caro was in a mock battle with Fate.

Hayate, Rein, Shamal, Zafila, Vice and Shari were observing the separate mock battles when Rein noticed the ferret.

"Yuuno-san, you should be resting in bed. Mou!" She said, with her arms at her waist.

I'm all right already, Rein. The ferret said.

Yuuno-kun, I forgot to mention, but the Armed Corps have decided to make you an Aerial Tactics Instructor, First Class Captain in support magic. Well, they said that you are to start work when you're completely recovered, training our forwards as your first job. Congratulations, Yuuno-kun! Hayate congratulated the ferret.

"Ehh?..." Yuuno trailed off.

Just then, the forwards had finished their training and all of them came to join Hayate and company.

"But, I don't really have time to teach, and the work I have in the Infinity Library is a lot already-" The ferret stood on his hind legs and gestured wildly with his paws.

"Congratulations, Yuuno-kun!" Nanoha beamed. Fate, Signum and Vita gave their regards too, and the ferret sighed.

"You'll be fine." Raising Heart hovered in front of its previous owner.

"Yuuno, I heard that you're going to be an instructor. Not bad. Also, come to HQ tomorrow; there's a meeting which would require your help on Lost-" Chrono rattled on as soon as his transmission got through the librarian.

"Chrono-kun, obviously, my patient is not fit enough to attend any sort of meeting. Not to mention he is still weak," Shamal interjected, crossing her arms, her voice raised.

"Huh…"

"No."

"Please…"

"N-O."

"Yuuno, I know you can make it." Chrono turned his attention to the ferret.

"Well, for an hour…" Yuuno said, and turned his head up to see Shamal's glaring daggers at him. He flinched and lowered his head.

Please, Yuuno. Chrono pleaded.

I'll sneak up there for an hour when everyone's busy. Don't worry. Yuuno assured.

"Not even for a second, Yuuno-kun. Not even a second." Shamal said firmly while preparing her device, Klarwind.

The ferret murmured his apologies. Chrono, defeated, ended the transmission.

"Shamal, you sure can get scary at times," Fate commented.

"Hehehe…" The doctor smiled slightly.

2 WEEKS LATER, ON MONDAY MORNING

Yuuno was very happy, because he finally recovered. He could walk normally, use magic and all in all, he was no longer a patient. He walked to the training grounds, and practised shooting magic.

A green magic circle spun beneath him, and he created dozens of different bullets in a variety of colours. He shot them at gadget drones, which he set up in the programme.

"Well done, my master." Celestial Heart said as Yuuno shot down ten units of gadget drones in rapid succession.

"Thank you. I'm going to fly for a bit by myself, and then we'll do some shooting evasion to wrap up our training session." Yuuno told the green pearl as he changed into his old barrier jacket, and deactivated the magical staff.

With a jump, the archaeologist flew up high, into the clouds. He let out a satisfying sigh as the clouds past by him, the wind blowing in his face.

I have to return to my work in the Infinity Library soon. Yuuno thought. Suddenly, a dozen red balls of bullets flew through the clouds.

"Homing bullets," Celestial Heart warned, and the librarian activated his device.

"Axel Shooter." A dozen green bullets pierced the red physical bullets of Vita's.

Then, he saw Vita approaching, holding Graf Eisen in its Missile Form.

Vita, what are you doing? Yuuno asked, taken aback.

Fighting you, obviously. I'm going to smash you, full power! Vita smirked.

This is bad. Very. Yuuno thought as the familiar green magic circle appeared under his feet.

"Holy Shoot!" Two dozen green bullets shot towards the red headed knight; Vita dodged each of them with precise speed and agility.

Taking the chance, Yuuno teleported himself and Vita back to the grounds of Section Six.

"Yuuno, you cheated! Teleporting yourself and me back here to end the mock fight!" Vita shouted.

"I have no choice. Anyway, I got to go prepare for an auction. See you later!" He hurried, scurrying off back to Section Six's building.

4 MONTHS LATER

"Don't worry, Yuuno-kun. You'll do well; you're a great teacher already." Nanoha encouraged.

"But, I'm nervous. After all, I only taught you the basics; you learnt almost all of your magic by yourself." The librarian said in a worried tone.

"Stop worrying; get out there and teach! How long have you been teaching in lectures?" Vita asked.

"Let's see… Two years?"

"You have enough experience already. Now go on!" Vita pushed the blonde man forwards. Nanoha and Vita waved him goodbye as he stepped out onto the training grounds at the Armed Corps.

EPILOGUE

Yuuno returned to his original position as Chief Librarian of the Infinity Library. Also he is a First Class Captain and Aerial Tactics Instructor in Support Magic. He often goes on missions with his friends, to get some fresh air and release some stress.

Nanoha remained as an Aerial Tactics Instructor and lives with Vivio. Apparently, she has developed some sort of emotions for the Chief Librarian.

Fate is still an Enforcer, taking on cases which often involve Lost Logia. She visits Nanoha and Vivio whenever she has free time.

Hayate and Reinforce Zwei resumed their previous position as Lieutenant Colonel. She is progressing well.

Vita had to take a forced three years leave off due to her injury she suffered in the JS incident. She stays home, doing housework and stuff.

Signum works alongside with Agito. The duo is famous for their impressive power and skills.

The four forwards returned to their posts in various departments of the TSAB. It seems that Erio and Caro finally got together. Teana became known as the Silver Ace and is an excellent Enforcer. Subaru earns a reputation in the Disaster Relief Branch for her skills and magic.

And it's done! Reviews please! Maybe I'll write another story... :D

P.S. A TRILLION THANKS TO MY FRIEND, ResuscitatedHope, FOR BEING MY ADVISOR FOR THIS STORY & SUPPORTING ME! :D
