A/N: Hello! So I decided to write a new update because I'm so… uh… inspired. XD! Once more, thank you to those who reviewed and read! And I still haven't gotten my BD *goes to a corner and pokes the floor*. But don't worry everyone who didn't pre-order it. There's going to be Movie 2nd at 2012 so… let's all pre-order the 2nd Movie as well!

Also, I'll be introducing an original character in this chapter so… I don't know if anyone would like her. In a notice, most of the POVs for now would be Nanoha's since we're in Fate's arc. You will get more Fate-chan POV in the next few chapters! *salutes*

Well onto the new chapter! *fighting pose*

Chapter 07

A Beleaguering Equivocator

Nanoha

So I'm stuck inside a small room with the person that I'm supposed to be mad at...again. But… I just can't stay mad at Fate-chan… especially not in this situation. Being left alone together... with no one to interrupt me and my... prey. We were inside a room that I've never been into before. The place was just a 10 feet by 12 feet room and the ceiling is high far up. I wonder what they use this room for.

I'll try and distract myself. We'll be in this room for about 8 hours. I need to avoid talking to her, because I won't know what I should tell her if she started talking to me—

"—noha."

I looked at her. She sat at the opposite side of the wall, hugging her knees to her chest.

"Nanoha." I heard my name called by her again.

I don't know. Maybe she's gonna lecture me again, or worse… ask what I meant by those last words I last told her. She removed her ponytail, and her eyeglasses. I stared into deep red orbs. Wine red color that feels like it's going to eat me alive… a color that… I want to embrace.

Fate

I don't know what I got detention for… but here I rest inside the same room with the girl who made me more confused with what I'm currently feeling. She just told me that she cared for me… when I was so sure that no one did.

What did she mean by that? Did she mean that? Does that mean that… I served an importance…? But we haven't really talked since I don't know when… it was just recently that we've known of each other…

I called her name. "Nanoha." I want to tell her everything. I want to open up to her… and say sorry for those mean things I said…

She looked at me, concern plastered all over her face. I smiled to myself her emotions are readable like an open book… how cute.

I removed my eyeglasses and ponytail, so I can talk to her with a clearer vision. I called again, "Nanoha."

She looked into my eyes, her sea colored eyes flowing into my soul. I want to be embraced by that color. With love.

Nanoha

"What's so… important about me?"

She stared at me. Wanting full honesty in my answer. My look didn't falter. My emotions were a nerve wreck. But right now Fate-chan needs me… and I'm the only one who can support her in this.

"Everything." Without thinking, I answered what my heart is telling me. It's not like… anything's wrong about that. I want her to know that I'm earnest… about needing her.

"Please tell me… what's everything?" She asked again. Her eyes forming tears, her voice quivering.

"Your presence…" I told her. As I started crawling onto her side of the room. "Is enough to make me feel joy."

Her eyes widened in surprise. I will tell her everything no one has told her before. I will tell her… how I feel.

"Your eyes, take my breath away from me." It was a short distance. I'm literally in-front of her right now. I picked up a few strands of her hair from her side and kissed them. "Everything in your silence draws me in like… there's no one else in the world. They say that opposites attract."

I dropped those strands of hair and looked at her eyes. "But you're the negative pole, because of what happened in your life but… even if I'm the opposite sign… I'll gladly turn my back on everything, so I'll stay attached to you, no matter what."

She looked at me, our faces not far from each other. I can feel her breathing right on my face, her unnatural breathing pattern followed by sobs. I held her into my arms.

"So… you…" She tried speaking to me in between sobs. "You'll never leave my side, even if you turn into a negative pole as well?"

"No matter what." I hugged her as she submitted into my arms. Breaking into tears.

She's so tall and she appeared to be cold. I wrapped my arms around her neck, her shoulders moving involuntarily up and down. Her frame's so fragile... She's just a normal girl after all. A girl... that I want to protect and save.

"Nanoha."

"Yes, Fate-chan?"

"I want you to know about everything."

Principal's Office

"Yes, Leti-san?" Hayate asked as she stood before the Principal.

"I'm doing this out of favour of Gil Graham alright? Are you sure those two are going to be fine in the detention room until class ends?" Leti answered raising an eyebrow at the plot making short haired brunette.

"Yes Ma'am! I won't forget to let them out before the last bell rings!" Hayate said as she saluted out of sheer reflexes and left. "And~ that should do the work. Now, to talk to Alicia. Now where's that sexy?"

Detention Room

Nanoha

"First of all, the glasses. It was just a façade so people could tell me apart from my sister." She told me, as we sat side by side on her side of the room. "I have better eyesight without these on."

I've always loved her eyes, and I want to make those eyes… smile. I don't want any more tears streaming down anymore. I want her to be happy, and I'll do everything.

"Lindy-san, Mom, proposed to Precia-san, Mother. But Mother being on her current state, refused. Mom hasn't given up… but we need her to undergo therapy first. Mother's personality changes have been getting worse. As much as it makes me sad… I haven't been visiting because… all hell would just let lose." She smiled at me. This is the first time she ever smiled… and it was fake. Her personality change only occurs whenever I'm nearby. Whenever… I'm near her sight. So, all I have to do is to… stay away." She smiled again, with tears streaming down her face. I don't want this smile... I want a genuine one… "

A smile that would make my heart jump in glee.

And with that, I decided.

On another school…

"Fierra!" A random female called to a pink haired female.

She was around Signum's height, her wavy pink hair flowed just right above her buttocks. She has fierce eyes and tourmaline eyes. She has a well built body structure.

She wiped her sweat on her forehead as she settled down her bow on the benches.

"This year… I'll definitely crush you, Takamachi Nanoha."

Library

"So Signum, do you seriously believe that this is the best job for us?" Vita asked her pink haired companion.

"I'd rather stick inside the infirmary anytime. All we find here are lovebirds anyway." The ponytailed pink haired answered and closed her eyes as she stood behind the library desk beside Vita. "I wonder what Shamal's been up to…"

School Hallway

"Tea! Wait for me! Are we really trying out for the Archery club?" A dark blue short haired female said as she chased after her orange headed twin tailed friend.

"I definitely will because I want to gain more accuracy. I don't know about you. You said you idolize Takamachi-san right?" This female called Tea said as she put her fists on her waist.

"Well that's true but… I'd rather join the nonexistent track & field club. Since its stamina and talent in running are the only ones I have…"

"Well just as you said the track & field is nonexistent," Tea said and sighed. ". I wonder why." She thought and talked out to Subaru how to know more information about it.

After School…

Fate

Ever since I've told Nanoha everything. We both just stayed quiet. Sitting side by side, my head resting peacefully on her shoulder, as her arms are wrapped securely around my waist.

I told her how Alicia hated me. Alicia-nee had always encouraged me to ask Mother what was wrong. She has always told me to get a hold of myself, and that she'd help me make Mother stop having those memories. I always refused. I don't want to cause her any trouble that's why… she despises me.

I don't despise her, I've always loved Alicia-nee, and she was the only one there for me, when Mom, Chrono onii-chan and Amy were away.

How I wished that I was able to meet Clyde-san, or my father with Mother… I don't know any of them. But, Mom always tells me that, Clyde-san has always loved me even if my father isn't him. And Alicia-nee as always told me that our father always loved me too.

But, I'm still confused, Nanoha… what is this feeling? If only you could tell me this feeling—

I heard the door unlock. By some personal body reflexes, I quickly stood up to open the door. Nanoha who've been hugging me followed quickly.

I grabbed the doorknob noticing that it wasn't either. Falling on Nanoha's weight, I was forced to the floor, half of my body out the door.

I felt my head hit the floor hard, I quickly opened my eyes, only to meet slate blue directly on top of me.

Nanoha

I was contemplating in my brain what I should do to make Fate-chan… loosen up. And relax. I know she's been stressed about what's going on, and then put me into addition that she needs to consider me, because I know everything about her.

I didn't know why she quickly stood up from my embrace so I steadfastly followed her. Accidentally stepping on my skirt as I stand, I pushed Fate-chan down, her upper body right out the door.

I was so sure that it's going to hurt, but it didn't. I opened my eyes to find flaxen hair sprawled on the ground, and shocked wine red spheres staring at me.

Hayate

I whistled.

"Quite a show we have here." I stood right in-front of my dear friend and my target. I was asked by Leti-san to let these rabbits out. I was actually feeling quite lazy to go here and was going to ask Shari to do it for me… I'm glad I did it. "Can I Kodak Moment this one?"

"H-H-Hayate-chan! It was an accident! I swear I didn't mean it!" Nanoha-chan, flustered. Looks left and right, sighs that no one saw it. And stands up as she helps Fate-chan stand up. "Hayate-chan!"

"And for a second there, I thought you were cheating on Fate-chan with Alicia-chan." I teased her again. Oh dear, how fun it is to teach everyone. "But, maaan, Fate-chan, you and Alicia-chan do look-a-like!"

I stared at her as she blushed her way out, and wore her eyeglasses to cover at least some of her blush. "Ye-yes."

A bright idea popped into mind and I decided to run-off my mouth. "If I hadn't known that Nanoha-chan was head over heels—"

"HAYATE-CHAN!" The last thing I'd like to see was the White Devil, but if it includes her flustering, stuttering, and leaving a blushing and confused Fate-chan behind, why not? "I-I-I-It was nothing! I'm sorry, Fate-chan! I'll just… take this pervert away okay? I'll see you tomorrow!"

Fate

Nanoha dragged Hayate away then disappeared by the corner at the end of the hallway. I reached my hand to my lips.

"I just kissed… Nanoha."

Even if it was an accident, it undeniably made me happy.

Alicia

And look at what we have here, my cute little sister getting her first kiss. As I expected of you, Nanoha. Thank you.

Hayate

"Just confess to her already." I told my dear friend as I pat her back.

"Ow! You know I just can't do that! It's not normal…"

"Normal or Not. Love is love." I told her as a matter of fact and crossed my arms.

I saw her look at the ground with a sad expression. It wasn't my intention, so I decided to just drive the attention on a different topic.

"And so, your archery Coach Lotte-san is looking for you." Her eyes lit up.

"Is this for the Inter-School Archery Competition?" She asked me. Now this is more like the Nanoha-chan I know.

"She told me she'll meet you after club activities. So go now."

On Another School…

"Fierra! Coach Testarossa is looking for you!" A random female called to that pink haired female again. This time she wore an archery outfit, and was just having a score at the bull's eye.

"Coming!" Fierra answered as she laid her bow on the bench and ran outside. "Precia-san! Are we going to talk today about the strategy for the upcoming Inter-School Archery Competition?

"Yes. That's correct. Lightburn, I've created a new training regime for you that'll beat your arch rival, Takamachi." A black haired female with violet eyes handed her a book. "I have compiled them here. Study well. I'll watch you for now."

"Yes, Ma'am!" And this female is, Fierra Lightburn, Takamachi Nanoha's rival.

Club Activities Room - Archery

Nanoha

I formed my left arm to an angle, pulling the string and preparing for a release. I aimed carefully at the apple on top of a wood. And for the bull's eye target right behind it.

"I don't even know if I'm in love with Fate-chan or just… infatuated." I spoke to myself, drawing the bow to an angle I'm trying to reach. I need to concentrate. ISAC starts in 2 weeks. This is what I've been preparing for… and my showdown with Fierra Lightburn. I won't lose to her. I'll keep my status.

I released the arrow. I felt something break on my left shoulder and a sharp pain go through my shoulder blades. I quickly kneeled to the ground holding on to my shoulder.

Third Person

People in the Archery Club practicing their draw and release halted to a stop and rushed towards Nanoha. She was bearing an indescribable expression of pain, almost lying down on the floor holding her left shoulder.

Fate Testarossa-Harlaown, running on the oval was drawn into the crowd in the Archery Club room. Upon realizing what might've been happening, she ran, dashing inside the building to see what's happening. Only to come across a green eyed blonde carrying Nanoha in his arms.

"Yuuno…-kun?" Nanoha muttered. Half-opening her eyes from the sharp pain.

"Hello there, Nanoha. I just finished transferring today." He told her. Looking at her and looking at Fate. "Oh, Hello. My, if it isn't the School's Top Offender, you were still running? I thought I already asked Griffith-kun to shut it down so you won't go and show off anymore? Should I ask the school to completely shut down the field, so the soccer team, baseball team and the softball team gets closed at once?"

Fate only looked at him. Yuuno has always been Nanoha's rumoured boyfriend.

'What was I doing trying to get close to her…? We were both girls… and I don't even stand a chance…' She thought to herself, and walked away.

'Fate-chan… I can't hear anything… why are you making such an expression?' Nanoha then thought to herself. Trying to flinch from the man's grasp to go after her blonde. 'Why?'

To be Continued.

A/N: Noooo~ I'm not cruel! *hides behind a pole* I just… I was just… inspired. *smiles* Of course I'm solely into NanoFate. And I don't like Ferret-boy making moves on Nanoha. But if, they are having doubts on each other's feelings. They need some barrier in-between, even if he's not much of a challenge. *smiles*

*pokes you to the review button*

Reviews are my food! *puppy dog eyes* so please leave one…? Or I'll be hungry, and won't be able to update in a while. Ehe~ *hides* Thank you for reading! So for some… extra scenes!

Announcement Room… Shari and Hayate.

"Ah, Shari, I heard some ferret transferred back today?" Hayate asked the glasses wearing female.

"Hm? Oh yes, that's right, He's Yuuno Scrya. You know that skirt chasing guy that always end up eating dust?" Shari answered as she shuffled through papers inside the room.

"Oh, Well… Nanoha-chan was kind enough to talk to him. She just doesn't want to let anyone down you know? So… how did this rumour of Nanoha-chan having him as her boyfriend start?"

"Oh, it was just Yuuno-kun confessing and getting rejected. However, due to Griffith-kun's influences being Yuuno-kun's underdog… he managed to scatter that brainless information." Shari answered putting both her palms up on her sides and moving her head left and right.

"I know right. So, I guess Griffith-kun has this thing for Yuuno-kun?" Hayate guessed. Unsure.

"…" Shari stayed silent. "Hey! That's a scoop! I'll look into it Captain Hayate!"

Hayate saluted to her back. Shari then disappeared through the door, dashing.

"So… now I should talk to Carim-chan, so she would stop avoiding." She lifted her hand to her lips. "It was just a kiss…"

A/N: So… as everyone can see. I hint on Hayate/ Carim, Signum/Shamal and Teana/Subaru right now. Does anyone want more pairings? *peace* Just leave it in your review if you want them done! But… I'm sorry. I'm not a fan of any other pairing including Fate or Nanoha, other than NanoFate. I can't do Alicia/Someone too, since Alicia is Fate's twin so… yeah. *hides*. So… *nudges you to review button* please? *raises paw out*

Note: Fierra Lightburn, is as usual, like any Nanoha Character's name. Is based off a car. Ford Fierra, which is a Philippine Car, and Lightburn, an Australian Car. *thumbs up*
