Chapter XII: Yuuno and Suzuka


... *groan "Where am I?" Yuuno asked himself as he opens his eyes and saw something familiar, the bedroom. He turned his head left and right, he thought everything was just a dream until the cellphone beside him rang.

From the bed, raised a yawning auburn rubbing her eyes and afterwards yawn. Yuuno was then alarmed. Stern's rival in capturing the Jewel Seeds, was in her room and she walked towards him and gave him a pat. "Good morning, Yuuno-kun" she greeted him.

Yuuno was shocked. The enemy didn't just appeared in the brunette's bedroom but also she was acting like she knew him very well. "Yuuno-kun, is there's something wrong?" she asked him. Yuuno then panicked in his mind but thankfully he remembered the girl's name.

"There's nothing's wrong, Nanoha" Yuuno replied. His sweat dropped from his head, trying to stay calm due to some shocking events. On the other hand, the auburn smiled sweetly.

"By the way Yuuno-kun, I won't be home for a while for I have to tour Fate in this city" she said. The ferret nod but what captures his eyes was the person named "Fate". Stern knew no one with the name Fate but this girl, does she know one. However if that's the case, why haven't this Fate with her when she was collecting the Jewel Seeds.

"Yuuno-kun, snap out from your thoughts" Nanoha groaned. "You haven't listening to what am I saying after I said that I'll be touring Fate." The ferret then apologized. *sigh "Well then I'm off to school now!"

"Sure, see you later... Nanoha" the ferret said in such a low tone. After the auburn disappeared from the bedroom, Yuuno was also off to investigate what on earth is happening; Nanoha, their rival was their ally and Stern wasn't even there. 'This world; is this really the world where Stern's wish is being projected. However, where could she be?'

Suzuka POV

I knew that something is definably wrong in here. Where on earth is Stern-chan and why is Arisa-chan talking to Nanoha... but isn't Nanoha a mage? My mind was then puzzled especially when we entered our room and Nanoha took Stern's seat. "Umm Nanoha-chan, isn't there someone sitting on that chair?" I asked. Nanoha was puzzled.

"What do you mean, Suzuka-chan?" she asked. "I'm the only one sitting in this chair ever since the school year started." I was shocked. This girl... she didn't just take Stern's seat but her existence as well. What kind of dream is this?

'That what I been asking myself ever since I came into this place' A telepathy? I looked everywhere in the classroom and saw Yuuno looking at me from the window and what does he mean about when he came to this place?

'You're also a mage like Stern, aren't you' I asked. The ferret was surprised. He can't believe that I know all about them but doesn't know anything about me.

'How did you know that?' he asked. 'Not only that, I'm also sensing a strong aura from you that tells me that you're not just a human'

'Because you two have the same aura' I replied. 'And you're not the first person who told me that I am not a human. Though, you are the only one who remembers Stern aside from me'

'I know that... actually it's my entire fault why you're stuck in this place with me' he said. 'The Jewel Seed devoured her and the only way to save her is to seal the Jewel Seed that was projecting this wish of hers'

'Wait, you mean this is all a wish?' I asked.

'Yes. Everything you see now came from a certain wish that filled a blank dimension' he replied. 'And for now, I'm investigating where Stern is and how will I seal the Jewel Seed'

'I see…'

"Hey, Nanoha-chan, is that your ferret on the window?" Arisa pointed her finger at Yuuno.

"Ah Yuuno-kun, didn't I tell you to say at home today?" Nanoha sighed as she reached her arms towards the ferret.

'And there is also one thing that bothers me the most, who on earth is Fate?' he said. I once again looked at my surroundings and saw a blonde girl that was wearing ponytails and she was strangely looking at me. The ferret was right, who on earth is Fate, where could we find Stern and what was her wish anyway? There are too many questions that are yet to be answered to make everything clear on the both of us.
