Chapter 9.2

Mysteriousity Last Part

Two female stood at the center of the Archery arena. They wore their traditional archery uniform with chest, shoulder and hand guards, equipped with a semi-professional composite bow. They stood vertically parallel to each other. Facing the targets with ten rings, the first and second ring colored white, the third and fourth black, the fifth and sixth blue, the seventh and eight red, and the ninth and tenth gold from the inside out. They scored 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 respectively from outside into the small gold colored bull's eye. The target face is approximately eighty centimetres in diameter, and the contestants stood roughly fifty centimetres from their respective target faces.

"The goal is to score the highest within four rounds! One round consists of three arrows fired alternately by each contestant. After one round scorers that are not part of any of the schools competing will be removing and counting the scores and then the match will start again." The announcer explained.

The two contestants nodded and bowed. The audience that is about forty meter away from the whole archery ground cheered for the two of them.

"First Round! First arrow, Nanoha Takamachi."

Nanoha bowed and picked up an arrow from her canister. She set it up beside her bow and softly pulled onto the string. She closed her right eye, trying to make a precise calculation. Obviously she cannot hold her arrow any longer as to it pushes her shoulder to its limits. She concentrated on the target face, and let go of her arrow.

The audience clapped as the arrow roughly hit the gold ring, and most of it leaning inside the red ring. Nanoha sighed and reached for her shoulder.

Not from a far, the not yet seen Fate Testarossa-Harlaown looked watched the match. It pains her to see her like this. She questioned herself, "I know that the ISAC is her life but… it doesn't mean that… she needs to push herself this much!"

The rounds went on and on, roughly around the last round, their scores tied to 380. They are on their last arrow, with Lightburn as the first arrow.

Fierra Lightburn wiped a sweat from her forehead and picked up an arrow from her side, handed by her coach. She positioned her bow horizontal to her body, and placed the arrow on top of the bow. She looked at Nanoha signifying her, "I dare you to try this shooting style for your last arrow." She slowly pulled on her arrow, putting the whole bow about half a meter away from her face to make a precise position and aim.

She let go of the arrow and it hit square, to the blue ring. The audience clapped as worried faces of Seishou Students were seen. Takamachi Nanoha was on her edge. This arrow would definitely be… her last arrow in her entire life.

Nanoha, breathed in and relaxed, completely ignoring the sweat that trickled down her face. She positioned her bow the same way, and surprisingly put her arrow beneath it. Truthfully enough, this position is more accurate. She slowly pulled out her arrow, targeting the innermost ring for the highest score, half-way into her pulling, her shoulder snapped. The audience noticed her premature release. Everyone was silent, until the arrow neared the target face.

"What…?" She said, her eyes widened as the arrow flew and accidentally hit the red ring. Almost immediately the crowd cheered. But to her, everything became a blur. The last thing that she saw was blonde hair and worried red eyes.

Later,

"I'm a member of the student council! I have the right to be here!" Soft voice echoed as it argued with an unknown voice. "I know… but, I can't leave her alone."

"Fate-chan." Small lips opened, chestnut colored hair shuffled. One slate-blue colored eye opened and motioned for the blonde to come near her. "Thank you."

It registered to Nanoha that she was in the school infirmary. She knew that her left shoulder was numbed, nonetheless she felt better.

"Who were you yelling at?" The chestnut haired female asked.

"Umm… Alicia-neesan." Fate answered as she scratched her cheek. "And… anytime for you, Nanoha."

The brunette blushed upon hearing her name called. It's said with so much affection and care. The room speakers suddenly boomed a sound,

"Winners and Runner ups for the ISAC, Please come back to the Archery Stage for Awarding, Thank you."

Nanoha softly 'nyahaha'd' and stood up to walk towards the Archery Stage.

Right after Nanoha received her award, an unknown voice suddenly spoke.

"Of course, we all know that the school Vice President, Nanoha Takamachi won the ISAC again, for four consecutive years now! Amazing isn't it? But have you ever thought that there might be a hoax? Like some underhanded tactics going on?"

The audience looked for where the voice came from. Hayate raised an eyebrow. She thought of the only person capable of doing this. She softly landed her fist on her open palm and thought, "Yuuno."

"Like, what if the winner talked to the Coach of her Opponent in Finals?" Nanoha's eyes widened, Precia Testarossa and Fierra Lightburn were quite shocked as well. "Like, what if they made a deal, to save someone who doesn't deserve saving?"

Yuuno then emerged from the backstage onto the stage where Nanoha, Fierra, and the third runner up stood. He walked around and spotted Precia Testarossa from the side of the stage. He then started talking again, "Didn't the beautiful brunette up on stage made a deal with you? To undergo therapy if she wins."

Fate's eyes widened as she looked at Nanoha. Slate blue caught on red. Nanoha couldn't look at her, so she looked away. "Nanoha… why?"

"Of course, as the mother of a child, you would definitely agree to that. I know that in some part of you, you wanted to be saved so you agreed. So you asked your student, Fierra Lightburn to subsequently lose against her!" Yuuno continued talking in a braggart way. "So, why did Nanoha Takamachi, daughter of a well-known baker do this? Because she's doing it for love!" Yuuno Scrya scoffed and stood in-front of Nanoha.

"What do you want?" She furrowed her eyebrows and looked up to him.

"Isn't it time you admit to your fans club? That you're actually lesbian, most probably bi, confused, one who likes girls a dyke!" He flared her insults. "For the one and only, Fate Testarossa-Harlaown." Suddenly a flash met his eyes. His eyeglasses fell onto the floor, his left cheek red. "Now, isn't that a proof that she's just admitted

The people in the arena chattered. "Takamachi-sama is a lesbian?" "Really? For Harlaown?" It looked like they took it negatively. Nanoha ran down from the stage, and ran away into a direction she thought no one would follow her.

Hayate nudged the ponytailed with glasses blonde beside her. She nodded to her in affirmation and ran after the brunette.

Nanoha ran away, tears streaming down her face. When suddenly warm arms wrapped them around her waist. She stood frozen, not wanting to turn around.

"Did what he said… true?" Blonde with red eyes asked as she breathed onto the smaller female's nape. "That… you l-l-l-love me…"

Nanoha mumbled something. So Fate manuevered herself in-front of the brunette. She forced her Red eyes into blue. "It's true. I love you." Nanoha said as tears started welling up from her eyes again. "You must be disgust—"

A finger stopped her from talking. The blonde smiled at her, a real smile, a loving smile, emitting radiant lights. "Let me do the talking from here on." She told her as people started gathering beside them, completely blind from their visions.

"Thank you, Nanoha." She said, putting her hands softly to the brunettes chin, cupping her face onto her palms. "You pushed yourself to win your bet with my Mother, so she can be saved. I didn't like the idea… of you pushing yourself. But thank you, for always caring for me."

Nanoha hiccupped, not letting go of sweet and caring red eyes that's currently boring a hole through her. The red-eyed blonde continued to speak. She removed her eyeglasses and tossed it aside, and let down her hair freeing her flaxen locks from the ponytail.

From beside, Hayate, Shari, and everyone else from Seishou Academy that was in the Stadium went 'Oh~' for the very good looking Fate Testarossa-Harlaown, but not loud enough to disturb their quality time.

"Thank you, for saving me." She said and starting leaning down, closing the space between them. "And I don't think you're disgusting at all. Because… I love you too." She leaned down sealing the space between them with her lips. Both closed their eyes, they're currently sharing their first real kiss.

The fan girls from the sidelines cheered so loud, that immediately torn the newly formed couple who both exploded in a blush. Hayate and Shari walked towards them proudly as Signum, Vita and all the remaining Student Council Officers shooed away the people.

"Come on~ Fate-chan I didn't know you could be such a tiger!" Hayate said and nudged the tall female who just scratched her head.

"I-I-I no… I mean… uh…" The blonde stuttered, but the brunette grabbed her left hand with her right, right behind assuring her they'd be fine.

"Mou, Hayate-chan, now I'm worried for Fate-chan, what if they started bullying her more about this. And on the contrary, I thought I was gonna lose all my fans and it looks like they just strengthened. Did you do something about it?" Nanoha asked pouting at the short haired brunette.

"No, I didn't do anything at all. They just suddenly went, 'If Nanoha-sama was lesbian, now we have a chance!' and then suddenly ran the direction you went. And then when they arrived, Fate-chan was strippi—I mean taking off her glasses and ponytail and they all went 'Kyaa~! So pretty~' so I think you should be worried for Fate-chan for now." Hayate said as she re-enacted the girls reactions that made the blonde chuckle.

"Now, Nanoha-san, please take care of Fate-san here. It's her first time so be gentle!" Shari said and nudged the brunette who immediately blushed.

"Mou! I wasn't-!" Nanoha tried denying.

"I mean, loving someone. Nanoha-san ecchi~" Shari said as she ran away.

Back onto the Arena, Yuuno Scrya clenched his fists, disappointed of how the things turned out. Precia Testarossa approached him.

"That was childish, Yuuno-kun. But I must say thank you, for making my daughter happy." She told him and walked away. "Alicia, do you still have the papers for that Psychiatrist?"

Yuuno slammed the microphone onto the floor as it multiplied into pieces. "I'm not yet done… you two… I still have more tricks up my sleeve!"
