Author's note: Finally Nanoha loses his temper though Takeru deserves it totally. This is the first time I try writing Hayate POV so it may not be good but I will try to improve on that. Please don't hate me after reading this chapter, ok? Btw, it should be Miss Signum and not Mrs Signum and she is a discipline headmistress.

Reply to BpHaru: Well, the incident concerning Alicia concern Fate's past and it will be slowly revealed as the story continues. I take it that the ' loli hair styles' of Nanoha and Fate is the hair styles they have in season 1 and my answer is no. For Fate, she just ties her hair into a long ponytail and for Nanoha, she has 'Fate in Strikers' hairstyle. I do not know much about hairstyles so I try to keep it simple. Vita is cool isn't it? Sorry for the descriptions that I crammed in the previous chapter. XD

Reply to Syaroan Li Clow: Yeah, I totally hate Takeru despite him being my creation but he will still feature in the later chapters. If possible, I will have Nanoha or Yuuno to kill him but that will make things complicated.

Reply to supremmangafan: Thanks for your review, really appreciated it. Please continue to read and review my later chapters.

Chapter 6

Third person POV

All the students gave a shocked look to Nanoha including Fate, Vita, Yuuno, Hayate and Fate. The cute, childish and beautiful girl was glaring at Takeru with murderous rage written on her face and Takeru was cowering on the floor with his body trembling with fear.

" Do you need me to repeat one more time, Takeru. I say APOLOGISE TO HAYATE AND FATE." Nanoha gripped his hand with more force, causing Takeru to cry out in pain and tears to well up in his eyes.

Nanoha then released the hand and gave a smile to Takeru who started to crawl away, hoping to escape more tortes from Nanoha but before he could even move an inch, he suddenly felt an intense pain imploding from his left leg.

" Takeru, do you think for a moment that you can escape from me. You are even stupider than I can even imagine. Better apologise before I cripple you for life and make you regret living in this world." Nanoha continued to walk towards Takeru with a smile and leaned near him.

Takeru then finally broke down and cried shamelessly. " I'm sorry for telling lies about you two, Fate and Nanoha, and for saying you as a cripple, Hayate. Please forgive me."

" Good. Now listen here, Takeru. If you ever dare to spread lies or insult me and my friends again, you better buy yourself a coffin and prepare for a funeral. Is that clear?" Takeru nodded frantically and Nanoha then walked towards Hayate who was still lying on the floor.

"Hayate, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Hayate shook her head silently and when Nanoha held out her hand, she did not take it. She gave Hayate a sad smile and turned towards Yuuno who nodded. Just when Yuuno was about to help Hayate, many students started to run away leaving Nanoha, her friends and Takeru.

" You lots are in big trouble, especially the both of you Nanoha and Takeru." A woman in her early twenties with a pink ponytail appeared in front of them with a frown.

Yuuno POV

" Now tell me, what happen? Don't tell me nothing has happen cause that won't work on me. Takeru! Seeing that you are the most loser here, answer me." Everybody giggled except Takeru who flushed in embarrassment then he regained his arrogant, cocky and annoying self.

"Well, it is simple Miss Signum. Takamachi and Scryaa assaulted me when I just comment on their relationship this morning. I just give my opinion and when they find it not to their liking, they just beat me up. Look at my right hand and my left leg and see for yourself the extent of my injury. Ouch, seem that I have to see a doctor." Takeru gave an exaggerated groan of pain and brought up his hand and his leg slowly.

"Don't lie through your teeth, you this coward dog. You accuse Nanoha and Fate of being lovers and even say that Hayate was a cripple. If Miss Signum is not here, I swear that you will be the crippled one instead." I glared at Takeru with rage bubbling in me. Miss Signum gave me a disapproving look and sighed.

"Ok, so we have two different versions of the incident here. Since both of you can't prove..." " Sig...sorry Miss Signum! I have witnesses that they attack me first and I never retaliate back. Allow me to bring them here."

Miss Signum blinked and nodded her head. Takeru then gave them a sneer and swaggered off to find his 'so-called' witnesses.

Miss Signum then rubbed her temple and cracked her knuckles. " Why of all people must you all be the cause behind this incident. Yuuno, Vita and Hayate, why don't the three of you restrain Nanoha? Though I don't know much about you two, Fate and Chrono, don't think that both of you can get away with this. Seeing that even Yuuno is willing to befriend the both of you, I expect you Fate to have more self-control and Chrono to control your sister."

What does she mean by 'even Yuuno is willing to befriend the both of you'? Oh well, it is true that I don't have a lots of friends. Come to think it, the number of people that I consider as friends are less than the number of fingers I have. Oh well, who cares?

Miss Signum then looked at Nanoha and gave a hard look. " And you Nanoha Takamachi. What the hell are you thinking? Do you know that Takeru father is a major shareholder of this school and he can just get you expelled whenever he wants! I know that he is a bastard and even I want to give him a good beating but that does not serve as an excuse for injuring his hand and his leg. Oh god... help me."

I glanced at Nanoha and to my surprise, she had a smile on her face. " Don't worry Miss Signum. I won't implicated you all in this incident. After all, I am the one at fault so I will shoulder all the blame."

Hayate grabbed her hand and said, " Nanoha, it's not your fault. Please don't say that. I will share the burden with you definitely and I am sure the rest of us will do it too." Fate, Chrono and Vita nodded their heads while I gave a loud groan.

" Sometime, I really regret knowing you Nanoha. Why must I have such an annoying, irritating and immature girl as my best friend... Oh god, save me."

Nanoha grinned at me and put the other hand around my shoulder. " Thank you Yuuno. I'm so lucky to have you as my best friend."

Miss Signum gave me an approving look and winked at me which I scowled back. She then hid her smile and said, " Alright, since that bastard... I mean Takeru haven't come back yet, you are dismissed. Go back to your classes and don't cause any more trouble or you will regret it."

We left Miss Signum office and walked slowly back to class. Suddenly, Nanaho grabbed both of Fate's hands and dragged a bewildered Fate away. " Hey, the classrooms are at the opposite direction. Where are you two going." Hayate shouted at Nanoha who replied, " Sorry Hayate but tell Mr Okazaki that I have stomachache and tell Fate's teacher that she also has stomachache. Thanks."

Hayate then gave me a puzzled look. " Who is Fate's teacher?"

Third person POV

" Ouch Nanoha! Where are you taking me to?" Fate cried out in pain as Nanoha kept an iron grip on both of her hands. Nanoha did not answer which prompted Fate to look at her.

Where is she taking me? And of all the time, she must does it during maths class. I'm going to be in deep trouble and worse of all, I sleep in her class yesterday.

Fate grimaced at the thought of seeing her maths teacher expression when she discovered that she did not attend her class.

Finally, they reached an empty classroom and Nanoha released her hands and walked into the classroom. She then beckoned to Fate who then followed Nanoha. She looked around the surrounding and gave Nanoha a puzzled look.

" Hey um... Nanoha, why do you bring me into this classroom. Do you have something important to say or what?" Nanoha ignored the question and instead, she looked through the classroom window.

" Nanoha, answer my question. I don't understand why you suddenly bring me to this abandoned, and not to mention dusty, classroom" Fate looked at Nanoha expectantly but she again ignored Fate who was beginning to become angry.

" NA... Umphf" Nanoha covered Fate mouth when she was just about to shout at Nanoha and Nanoha leaned near her.

"Fate, remember when we first met? You captured a pervert and Yuuno does that stupid thing on me which caused me to shout loudly and embarassed myself. To say the truth, I was captivated by you when I saw you at that point of time and when I find out that you attend the same school as me and Yuuno, I am very happy. I realise that I am attracted to you somehow. I cannot forget you and whenever I see you, I feel as though... hehe, I don't know how to explain that feeling but just know that I am very happy when I'm with you. That happiness I feel when I am with you is not the same as when I'm with Yuuno, Hayate or Vita. It is unique and I... I love that feeling. So Fate Testarossa, I love you."

Fate was stunned. I cannot believe it. She loves me which means both of us have the same feeling with each other. No, I must be imagining but she is standing in front of me and says " I love you." I...I also love her definetely but after the incident this morning, I realise something. Our love will never be accepted in our society and we will be ostracised by other people. I don't mind actually but seeing the reactions from the students when they find out that we are lesbians, I don't want Nanoha to get that type of treatment.

Yes, this is my way of loving her. Nanoha, I love you with all my heart but I must not be so selfish as to bind her to a relationship that is totally against the norms. Nanoha, I love you with all my heart but i'm sorry.

" Um Fate, are you there? So what's your answer or are you so touched that you are totally speechless?" Nanoha gave Fate her usual smile but Fate's glum demeanour did not change.

Fate then closed her eyes for a while then she took in a deep breath. " Nanoha, I'm sorry but I cannot accept your love."

After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence between them, Fate held Nanoha's hand gently. " Nanoha, are you alright?"

" Ye..Yeah! Of course I'm alright. Hahaha, it is so strange of me to love a girl huh? Sorry Fate but can you just forget about what I've say to you? I think that I'm a little delirious, haha... Sorry Fate but I need to go to the toilet for a while." Nanoha then gave Fate a smile before running to the toilet while Fate slumped to the floor with tears streaking down her face. I hope I have done the right thing. I'm sorry Nanoha....

When Nanoha was just about to reach the toilet, she bumped into Yuuno. " Ouch. Hey watch where you are... Nanoha?"

" Sorry Yuuno. My mind is in a whirl so I'm sorry." Nanoha was just about to head into the toilet when Yuuno hugged her. Nanoha was shocked for a moment and she said softly. "

" Yuuno, what are you doing? I'm alright so don't worry. Yes that's right, don't worry about me. I...I... I'm alright..." Beads of tear that had been withheld by Nanoha started to drop onto Yuuno's uniform and the floor.

" Don't hold back the tears Nanoha. Cry as loud as you can..." Yuuno whispered into his best friend's ear while he continued to hug her tightly. " I will always be here for you Nanoha. Go on and release all the pent-up sorrows in your heart."

" WAAA........." The cry of a girl with a broken heart resounded the deserted hallway while another similar cry was heard at the same time in an empty classroom.
