Fate— School 8:30am
I was already at the school's parking lot. I'm too lazy to get off from my car. My mind was somewhere out there thinking about a certain person.
"Where did all my energy go? I talked to myself." I leaned my head and arms on the steering wheel. It felt like I'm sick and had lost my vigor. I've been here for almost twenty minutes. I took out my phone when I've heard it ringing. It was Alicia-chan who's calling.
"Hello?" I answered in a hoarse voice.
"Did you just wake up neesama? I can't believe your tardiness! You used to arrive ahead of the scheduled time! We've already started!" Alicia was scolding me. I snickered as I realized what my little sister was saying.
"Mou! Neesama!" Alicia exclaimed over the phone.
"I can't believe that I am being scolded by my little sister for being late." -I said.
As when I finished saying those words, this time I laughed and when I calmed down I spoke again.
"I'm sorry Alicia-chan. I'm already here at school. I'm on my way to the court. See you."
I didn't wait for her response and turned off the call. I smiled and imagine how Alicia-chan has matured in just a short period of time. I'm sure the others have grown too. I hope I was not wrong when I chose Rein to be the captain of the team when I left. I was deep in my thoughts when someone knocked on my window frame of my car. I was surprised to see who it was. It was Nanoha! I straightened up my body. I didn't notice that she had already parked her car next to mine. She had an inquisitive look on her face.
"Are you going to stay there for good? I'm sure you've left the house ages ago and yet you're still here." She raised her eyebrows.
I looked at her appearance. She was wearing all white. From her sports jacket down to her tennis shoes. She was also wearing some sports leggings. She looks sexy in her outfit.
"Hey! You're spacing out! Try to answer when someone is asking you a question." Nanoha reprimanded me with a raucous voice. I can see her annoyed expression on her face. She turned away from me and started walking towards the court.
Maybe I should walk with her. I grinned. I'll think about the consequence of what I'm going to feel later. I said to myself.
"Nanoha, Can I walk with you?" I said to her.
"It doesn't matter Fate-chan. We're both going to the same direction anyway." She answered.
There were few student's in our school that morning. Some were from the soccer team and baseball team. As we pass through them, everyone was looking at us. I felt awkward. I really don't like attention from other people. I looked at the person next to me to see her reaction but it seems she didn't mind. I'm amazed on how confident she carries herself. I thought to myself.
Then, there were four boys rudely approached to us.
"Hey—gorgeous ladies!" Said by one of the boys.
We tried to ignore them but they were so persistent.
"Nice clothes! Do you want us to accompany you?" The other one grinned and touched Nanoha's butt.
The copperhead has stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" I asked her. "Let's just ignore them and keep walking." I added.
Her face was red in anger. Without saying any word, she gave the guy who touched her butt a roundhouse kick on the face. Then she stepped on his hand three times. The other one tried to pull the copperhead but I manage to kicked him. The other one tried to attack me with his fist but I manage to redirect his attack and I throw him to the bench. He was off balanced and hit the ground.
On the other side, I saw the copper head formed her hands as if she was gripping an imaginary tennis balls and lunched herself to the guy. She dug her fingers into the bicep of the swinging arm of and she ripped the muscle, while striking the forearm on the same side. I know what might happen next so I tried to come close to her as fast as I could to stop her attack. I've hastily lunched myself at her and took the advantage of the force that she was about to lunch. I gripped her wrist and throw her off to the ground. When she was about to stand up I locked her arms with my hands. We were in a crouching position. I was on her back. She was furious.
"I know what you're about to do." I said to her. She was resisting.
"Nanoha, please calm down! You have already crushed the other guys hand. We will be in trouble!"
Nanoha stopped and didn't resist after hearing what I just said. But, she was breathing so hard, I can feel her heart rate was irregular. She was sweating all over her body. There was a small scratch on her red face. I have never seen her eyes that was full of disgust.
Completely shocked and overwhelmed by the ferocity of the attack of the copperhead, the boys ran for their lives.
Poor boys. I'm sure they were younger than us but was beaten into pulp. I hope the injuries weren't that serious. I said to myself.
I made a grimace when I recall what Nanoha had done to the guy who touched her butt. I was hoping that we will not be getting any inconvenience with the fighting that we had done just now inside the school premises! And now, I'm worried.
After the few moments, when the boys are no longer on our sight, the copperhead was trying her best to regain her normal breathing. I released her hand and wrapped my arms around her waist from her back. I leaned my head on her. Her legs were already resting on the ground.
She smells so good. I thought to myself.
Her natural smell is subtle, warm mixed with sweet and flowery fragrance due to her perfume. She smells sexy and irresistible! My heart was throbbing with those thoughts.
I'm sure she can hear my heartbeat! She can hear it! She can hear it! I rebuked myself silently. We have to get up!
I released the copperhead from my embraced as soon as I noticed that she was breathing normally. I stood up in front of her. I reached out my hand to help her stand. She looked at my hand and took it silently. I pulled her to the nearest bench and made her sit.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
I hope my concerns are not showing on my face. You have to fix your hair. It's tangled. She sighed and fixed her hair silently. I was just staring at her. After she fixed her hair, I spoke again.
"You need a drink. Here, take these." I offered her my water bottled to Nanoha.
Thanks! She said. Then she drank the water all the way down. I looked around. The sun was shining brightly. The air was cool. The smells of the flowers from the trees was so refreshing. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
I bet this day will be a very long tiring day. I smiled half-heartedly as I thought to myself.
I was so busy contemplating with the surroundings when I heard the copperhead spoke to me.
"How can you stopped and throw me off without hurting me?" I opened my eyes and look at her. Our gazed met. Her face was serious and the tone of the copperhead's voice was earnest.
I sighed in dismay. "How can you have snapped like that? You used to have a better temperament than me." I stopped speaking for a moment waiting for her answer.
I received no response from her, so I continued.
"You already knew the answer to your question, Nanoha. Please, refrain from injuring your precious hands too." I was looking at her with a distressed face.
"I'll go ahead first." Then I started walking towards the court. I didn't even give a fuss to wait for her answer. I didn't bother to look at her reaction.
I hope that you really knew the answer, Nanoha. I just realized now, when I held you in my arms again, when my body was touching yours feeling your warmth, smelling your natural scent that no matter what you do, I will always love and protect you. Even if it will cost me a lot. I smiled bitterly about the thought.
Hmm, to those who were asking about what happened between Fate and Nanoha, I'll write it soon. Thank you so much guys! See you!
