Author's note: The starting part of this chapter will be a dream from Fate and it is linked to the future of the story. This chapter will still be about the developing of the relationship between Nanoha and Fate and the introduction of Subaru and Teana. Vita shall feature in this chapter too but don't worry, NanoFate will still be the main point in this chapter. I just created some sort of villain in this chapter and that Nanoha finally shows her anger.

Sorry for the discrimination, Fate and Nanoha. T.T

PLEASE R AND R.

Reply to BpHaru: I agree that the crying of Nanoha looked a little forced but Nanoha is a little … volatile I guess in her feelings so Yuuno is required to provide emotional support for her though he denied it. Continue to review xD

Reply to w w w . justsomeone. Net: Haha, glad that my story interests you. Hopefully it can brighten up your day after ur work. Please continue to read and review my story xD. Arisa and Suzuka may come in the story but it will be in the later chapters.

Reply to Syaoran Li Clow: Yeah, Nanoha will always have somebody to support her regardless of anything and that somebody is Yuuno just like Fate who has Chrono. Yuuno never gives me the impression that he is mature though. He is just sarcastic and acts very uncaring towards Nanoha especially xD.

Chapter 5. Fate POV in her dream

Where am I? I cannot see anything... It is totally pitch darkness and so...so cold. Shouldn't I be in my warm bed so how can I be here?

Impossible...Where are you Chrono? Mum? Nanoha?... Wait a minute, why should I call for Nanoha. She is just a friend, that's all. Yes... but why when I think of Nanoha, I will feel secure and safe, just like the feeling Chrono and mum give me.

Perhaps I have been treating Nanoha as Alicia, as a sister I will never have. Come to think of it, she looks almost exactly like her except that Nanoha is living in this world while Alicia is gone forever...

Huh? Why is it so bright all of a sudden... The lights are so piercing to my eyes yet strangely, I feel very warm and comfortable. My mind and body embrace it, seeking hungrily for the lights that are illuminating my body.

Then when my eyes open, I see a green meadow with lush greenery spread over the land. It is perfect. The sight takes my breath away as I look around me. The wind caressing my cheek playfully as though it is beckoning me to follow them and I suddenly see something brush past my legs.

I look down and see a small girl running across the meadow, laughing happily and her long hairs straying behind her. The small girl then stop in her track and turn to look at me and I see something unique about her. The colour of her eyes are different from each other but what attracted my attention is the sorrow radiated from her eyes.

She gives a sad smile and points toward a tree that has sprung out of nowhere and my eyes follow to where her finger is pointing. I take a step backward when I see the two persons that are standing under the tree. It is...

" Hey Fate, wake up. You are going to be late for school." I woke up reluctantly, giving a glare at Chrono for disturbing my sleep. He grinned at me but the grin turned swiftly into a frown.

" Fate, why are you crying?"

Yuuno POV

" That's the last time I allow you to sleep with me. If I ever see you coming near my bed at night, I will kick you out of my room." I growled at Nanoha who looked as fresh as always.

Whenever I help her with something, I will always suffer instead of her. Talking about injustice. Why do I even bothered helping her....

She held both of my hands and leaned near me. " Sorry Yuuno. I shall compensate for your sufferings tonight. It's that alright with you?"

I gave a pervertic grin and licked my tongue while looking at her. " Ok then. It's a deal Nanoha. Make all my hard works worth it."

Suddenly, I felt something hard hit my head. I whirled around, looking for the culprit that hit me but I seen no one or actually, I seen someone but I pretended not to. " Hmm, Nanoha do you see anybody hitting me because I can't see anyone. So the rumour that this street is haunted is true."

"YUUNO SCRYA, YOU THIS PERVERT AND A BULLY. DON'T TRY TO IGNORE ME!" I winced at the loud voice and finally, I looked down but with my reluctance written on my face.

A girl that had hairs that were so red that they looked like fire burning on her head was looking up at me literally and she had a very angry look on her face. Nanoha squealed out, " Vita, good morning." while I just patted her head and gave her my trademark smirk that could riled anybody except Nanoha.

" Sorry shorty but I never notice anyone just now until you shout. You have to understand that being short means most of us normal people will be ignorant of your existance so you have to forgive YEOUCH!" I shouted out in pain as Vita grabbed my right arm and twisted it with force that bellied her age.

When I tried to resist her, she easily overcame my non-existent strength and twisted my arm further and made the pain that Devil Nanoha dished out seemed to be nothing. I muttered out the word," sorry" and she let me go and gave me mytrademark smirk.

Vita then ignored me and turned towards Nanoha with a serious look on her face which by the way was her normal expression. " Nanoha, has this pervert does anything to you. If he has, I make sure that he will regret being born in this world."

Nanoha hugged Vita tightly and grinned at her. " Don't worry Vita, Yuuno does not has the gut to do anything to me. Beside, I got one of the Three Knights as my good friend and my bodyguard so nothing will happen to me."

Vita blushed and when she heard me groaning in pain, she gave me a glare and stuck her tongue out at me. So much for maturity. Seems that Nanoha has influenced her too much. Maybe I should have resume my Kendo training so that Vita won't have an easy time torturing me.

The three of us then began to walk to our school with Nanoha giving Vita her usual speech on her schedule which amused Vita for some reason. Despite being my cousin, it was fairly obvious that Vita was poles apart with me such as her shortness though she made up for it by learning martial arts. Since we were five years old, Vita had taken a liking to Nanoha and she was very protective of her and very hostile towards me for some reasons.

When I saw Nanoha and Vita walking and talking happily, I could not help but laughed quietly. Nobody would believe that the girl with the flaming red hair was the Vita who was famous for her hostility and coldness towards other people except Nanoha and Hayate. While we were walking, Nanoha spotted Fate and Chrono.

Nanoha apologised to Vita and immediately ran towards Fate to repeat the usual actions again. Chrono looked at me and both of us rolled our eyes while Vita gave a smirk at them. She then made a heart shape with her hands at Nanoha and Fate and looked at Chrono and I for confirmation.

Both of us nodded our heads simultaneously and said together," Yep, you get it right but how the heck do you know?" Vita then strode towards the both of us and smacked at our backs. " Don't ask stupid questions such as this." Both of us stared at her but she was already looking at the unofficial and shy couple.

" Speaking of Nanoha, don't tell me she like my sister?" Chrono inquired as we were walking and I nodded my head. He gave a thoughtful look then he smiled. " Oh well, at least both of them like each other. Spare me the worry over whether Nanoha likes Fate but both of them sure have weird tastes."

" That's Nanoha and Fate for you." Both of us then laughed together, causing Vita and Fate to give us strange looks while Nanoha gave me a lovey-dovey look as she clung tightly to Fate's arm.

Hayate POV

" Hey Nanoha and Fate, come quickly. Something bad happens with regards to both of you," I quickly told them after meeting them at the front gate where I had waiting for a while.

Fate, Yuuno, Vita and Chrono gave surprise looks at me while Nanoha continued to immerse in her own world and ignored my words. They followed me to the school's notice-board where all the latest news were announced to the students and I pointed at the paper that was pinned on the board.

" Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa are a lesbian couple. Shame on them." was written on the paper and I gave a worried look at my friends. There was a range of expressions on their faces.

Chrono and Fate were stunned while Vita was trembling, the intensity of anger that she gave out was felt by many students who moved away from her. Yuuno and Nanoha expressions were unreadable and I suddenly shivered. It was not the cool air but the cold fury that were radiating from both of them that made me very afraid.

Then a lot of students looked at Nanoha and Fate and started to talk among themselves while some of them gave looks of utmost disgust or mockery and words such as," freaks", " disgusting" , " should be banned from school for life" were uttered.

Then, there was a loud laughter and all of us spun around to look for the source of laughter. " Haha, what's so surprising about that news? It is common knowledge that both of them are lesbians so naturally, they become a couple." Kurosaki Takeru gave a sneer at us and I realised that other students have moved away from us, making sure that there was a gap between them and us.

I glared at him and shouted," Takeru, are you the one writing those lies?" He swaggered towards me and gave me another sickening smile which made me almost to lost my self-control and gave him a tight slap.

" I don't know. Maybe it is me, maybe it isn't. Anyway, the point is that whatever things that are written on the paper are nothing but the truth. They are still lesbians." A cocky grin emerged on his face as he looked at me.

Fate and Vita suddenly lunged at Takeru with anger blazing wildly in their eyes but two girls emerged from the crowd and held them back. One of them gave an impression of a boy with short blue hair while the other had orange hair which was tied into two pigtails and the girl with the orange hair muttered to me, " Stop staring and help me calm this maniac down."

Just when I was about to help the girl, Takeru suddenly stood in front of me and pushed me. I let out a cry and was just about to fall onto the floor when two guys grabbed me from behind and locked my arms in such a way that I could not move despite my best efforts.

He then said loudly, " Hey everyone, I bet this is a surprise for you all but do you know that this girl is actually a cripple? She tries to act as though she is normal but in fact, she is lying."

Hot tears cascaded down my face and I was stunned when I heard the word,"cripple". When I was just a baby, my leg muscles are weaker than other people so I could not take part in any sports or even jogging as my leg muscles could not take the tension caused by the stretching of muscles.

Though jogging are no longer a problem to me, I was still sensitive to my medical problems and so when I heard the word," cripple", I could not do anything.

Suddenly, " WHAM". I saw Yuuno giving a punch to Takeru who cried out in pain. Yuuno then turned towards me and gave two swift punches to the boys holding me who let out an 'oomph' and fell onto the floor. Nanoha then strode towards Takeru who was cursing and she grabbed his hand.

Takeru gave a sneer to Nanoha but his face was distorted with pain when Nanoha crushed his fingers. Distinct 'pop' sounds were heard as Takeru screamed in pain.

" Apologise to Fate and Hayate now!" Nanoha said in a low, dangerous tone.
