Chapter 10
Extravagant Finale
Today is the day after the infamous ISAC, the large event ended with the usual winner, Takamachi Nanoha as the district champion. However, she would not be competing for the division competition. ISAC was decided to be the last contest she'd ever join for archery. It was because of her permanent shoulder injury that caused her to subsequently retire at such a young age. Nonetheless, she doesn't regret anything that happened to her, she might've retired from archery, but she found herself focusing on something else. Student Council Vice President work and her girlfriend, Fate Testarossa-Harlaown.
Here she is, standing in-front of the school building waiting for her beloved red-eyed blonde. A few minutes later, she heard girls screaming, mooning, over someone. She wondered and looked at the same direction, and saw her beloved girlfriend…
"She's completely stripped off her cloth—old image, hasn't she?" Yagami Hayate, best friend extraordinaire popped from behind Nanoha, completely surprising the poor hearted brunette.
"Ha-Hayate-chan! Stop that!" She turned to look at the mean short, brown haired female and looked back at the horde of females, hording her girlfriend. "I'm the only one allowed to strip Fate-chan."
"You've done that already, haven't you?" Hayate pointed an accusing finger at the blushing chestnut haired female and smirked. "I didn't know you were already in that kind of relationship with Fate-chan before she even confessed to you, you lioness of the jungle."
"Wh-what lioness?" Slate-blue widened, flushed cheeks in a balloon. "Mou, stop it already."
"Kyaaa! Fate-sama!" "Testarossa-sama!" "Idiot! Don't call her that, that's Alicia-sama her twin!" "Harlaown-sama!" "Ah, you're so pretty!" "So sexy!" "I want to be touched by your beautiful hands!"
Nanoha's ears perked up at the words as she looked at them in jealousy. "DON'T SAY THAT! THAT'S MY JOB!" Uncontrollably, the slate-blue eyed female shouted at them who immediately paved away revealing her most awaited blonde.
Fate Testarossa-Harlaown, surprised and beet red stared at her. Endearingly beautiful under the beautiful sun's shine, her hair down, near the end of her mane was a black ribbon. Tied to secure her hair won't loosen and sprawl everywhere. Her darned bright pink eyeglasses out of the way exposing red eyes that's prettier than the ruby.
Takamachi Nanoha blushed endless the heat reaching up to her ears. She took one step back, and ran away around the school building.
Fate opened her mouth to say something but held it back. She bowed down to her new fan girls apologizing. She dashed away from amidst them, running after her beloved.
"And there she went—whoah!" Yagami Hayate was surprised by the sudden uproar of the rabid fan girls almost tripping and stepping on her on the way as she magnificently dodged everybody. "Well… that was my fault… AND YOU LOT! NO RUNNING IN THE HALLWAY!"
Everybody immediately stopped running and fast-walked towards the couple. "But, Pres! We're on ground!" One student joked, once everybody realized this, they all dashed again and disappeared from Hayate's sight.
"THAT is really my fault." She told herself and smiled, scratching behind her head and pivot-turned behind her, coming face to face with her own blonde. "Oh, hey." She greeted her as an awkward silence engulfed them.
"I… came here to tell you my reply." Carim Gracia, the nun-like Discipline Officer, told her.
"Nanoha!" Fate chased after her, only a few more steps behind her. She took one dashed step and stepped forward, completely tackling down the female on the grass.
Before they noticed, they were already in the grassy, filled with trees and secluded, place behind the school gym. Fate on top of Nanoha, the blonde's hands pressed beside the chestnut haired female who was facing to her right ignoring wine red eyes trying to capture her attention.
In due time the two of them realized that they were in a secluded place, although not meeting each other's eyes, the pair blushed, but one shook her embarrassment away and cupped the female's face lying down behind her and made them look into her eyes.
"Nanoha." She called her name, all so sweet and sugar-inducing. "What's wrong?"
Takamachi Nanoha stared into such pretty orbs and found herself absorbed in them. She quickly snapped out of her trance and furrowed her eyebrows. "Nothing's wrong!" She aggressively answered her forcing blue out of the clutches of red.
"This can't be nothing, right?" Soft and pleading red orbs stared into her. With guilt spreading across her mind, she could only think of one thing to say, "I'm sor—"
"Don't say sorry!" Slate blue then stared into those soft red ones. Tears forming into that sea-colored eye as it trickled down her cheeks. "I was just… I…"
"Hayate, I'm sorry to have been mean towards you for a while now. I was just… confused." Carim told her as they sat across each other in the student council room.
"Then, I'm sorry to have…" The brunette started apologizing but found a finger stopping her lips.
"You're not allowed to talk. I came here to tell you something. Not you to tell me something." Carim told her as she leaned over the table. She slowly stood up, making Hayate follow her actions. "And my answer…"
She looked down to her side, a blush tainting her cheeks. Slowly but surely, she pressed her own soft lips to those of the short haired brunette's.
Yagami Hayate smiled into that warm kiss. Who would've thought that Carim could be so aggressive like this? I would totally be M just for her. She thought.
"I was just… jealous." Nanoha said as she forcibly looked away from the blonde's eyes. Red orbs widened in shock, but then turned gentle in realization.
She's jealous for me. She thought. So her mischievous mind gave her a thought. "Why are you jealous?" She asked, trying her best to stop herself from grinning like an idiot.
"I-Isn't that o-obvious?" Chestnut hair flew in the air as Fate's swift hands removed her side ponytail. "Wh-what?"
"I don't know what you are talking about Nanoha… please tell me?" Fate told her in the sexiest voice she could ever muster. She smiled to herself as the female beneath her squirmed and blushed redder. "Please?" She whispered to her ear.
"It's because they got to see you before I did!" She half-shouted at her, nearing her face closer to the blonde's, her hands prompting as more support as she tried to lift her body more. "It's because those fan girls saw you first…"
Fate softly let go of her face as the two of them sat up from their position. A blushing Nanoha sat there her head tilted down wards her hands crunching the ends of her skirt. Blonde hair swayed with the wind as chestnut hair did.
"Pfft." Unable to control herself, Fate Testarossa-Harlaown chugged down her laughter. I hope she doesn't get mad for this. She told herself. "I'm sorry. I asked them to do that."
"Wh-what?" Takamachi Nanoha asked her, 'disbelief' written all over her face. "How could you!" She told her and poked her chest. In rage, she pushed down the poor blonde on the grass and sat on her stomach.
"Apologize!" She told her, as she pouted, hands on the blonde's shoulder successfully pinning her down. "A-PO-LO-GIZE!"
"I already did!" She answered her as she tried to hold in more laughter. "I already did, Nanoha." This time she told her calmer, still holding in her laughter.
"APOLOGIZE!" Slate-blue glared at wine red. She glared even harder at the blonde beneath her. "APO—" She got pushed down the grass again, the blonde successfully exchanging positions. "—G-G-G-G-Gi…ze…" She blushed at the sight of the blonde beauty on top of her.
"I'm sorry." She told her and leaned in to kiss her.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Obsessive fan girls suddenly screamed from behind the trees as they pushed each other one by one.
"I wanna see!" "Me too!" "Don't be greedy!" "ME TOO!"
Fate face planted on the grass beside Nanoha's face as the chestnut haired female peered to look at them.
"You… guys..." Nanoha said, they swore they saw black aura and random strands of hair floating into the air, all of them ran away.
"THE WHITE DEVIL! KYAAA! SO HOT!" Some of the fan girls shouted as some said, "LET'S RUN!"
Fate Testarossa-Harlaown had her face planted on the grass as she leaned on the grass with her knees on it, and her body off the ground. "That was… seriously embarrassing…"
The two of them, unable to even get their second official kiss, sadly went back into the second year building and went to their classrooms for their respective classes.
In the afternoon, Leti Lowran called Fate into the Principal's Office just to tell her that she's opening the Track and Field club, and asked her to become the Club President as she agreed enthusiastically. Takamachi Nanoha who was currently busy doing class duties, such as cleaning the classroom was unaware of.
Nanoha hummed to herself as song as she brought a trashcan with both hands on each ends, while she walked towards the incinerator. She heard footsteps right behind her and immediately turned around. She then again heard more footsteps behind her and realized she was surrounded.
"Yuuno Scrya."
From the other side of the school grounds, Fate just left the Principal's Office she immediately got cornered right before entering the Student Council Room around a group inclusive of nine men surrounded her.
"Who are you guys?" She asked them as she assumed a fighting stance. "Minions of some sort?"
"We aren't minions of some sort!" A man stepped up from the group.
"We ARE minions idiot!" Some other guy said from behind that man and immediately got hit for his remark.
"Idiot! That was what I was gonna say!" The man who stepped up said as Fate Testarossa-Harlaown chuckled.
Soft footsteps came from beside them as the men jumped in surprise.
"Alicia-nee, what's going on?" Blonde hair with red-eyes asked them. Her sister looked at her and winked at her.
"Fate! Look for Nanoha! I'll text you later! Go! Like I mean, right now!" Alicia told her as she kept the thugs busy. "Quick!"
"O-Okay!" The real Fate ran away and picked up her phone from her pocket.
"So, shall we play Yuuno Screwed-Ass' minions?" She asked them as she pulled out her phone from her pocket. "Now that I think about it that was such a nice play in words."
The man who stepped up lunged towards her, she spun on her heel and threw the thug a spinning back kick. He was sent towards the wall as his sorry-excuse-for-a-face crashed with the light switch.
"Alicia-nee! What's happening?" Fate sent her older sister a message as she went out of the building running towards the archery club.
"Yuuno's plan. You should go save Nanoha, she's sure to be in trouble, quick, Fate! And oh by the way-" She immediately closed her phone not reading everything written on it and focused on running.
"I should've told her to go easy against those men." Fate sighed as she seriously ran towards the Archery Club.
"Nice to meet you again, Takamachi Nanoha." Yuuno Scrya stepped out of the horde of around twenty five men wearing a white traditional Japanese uniform. "My, aren't you delicious looking today?" He told her as he licked his lips.
"Ew." She immediately retorted to as she put down the trashcan beside her. "Aside from spouting disgusting lies, what have you come here for?" She asked him.
Some petty man went ahead to hold her left hand and twist it behind her adding pressure to her left shoulder. Because of the sudden surge of pain her knees buckled as she kneeled on the floor her right hand landing on the land for support as she braced herself from the impact of falling down.
"You've got an injured pretty shoulder right?" Yuuno said as she kneeled down before Nanoha. He attempted to graze his nose on her but avoided it head butting his forehead in the process. "Why, you…!"
He got aggravated. He took out a Swiss knife from his pocket and immediately ripped through Nanoha's clothing starting from her shoulder. He hooked it on her bra strap and stared at her, with their faces at close proximity.
"You have here twenty five men lusting over you, Takamachi Nanoha." He told her and licked her cheeks. "And I won't mind exchanging positions with them."
Nanoha was shaking deep inside. She's trying her best to put up a strong front, to glare him down, but she was actually crying inside, her body shaking, not to mind the pain on her shoulder that's still being pressed on. Fate-chan…! Save me!
"Eh? Takamachi-sama wasn't with you, Fate-sama?" A fan girl told a heaving Fate Testarossa-Harlaown.
"She was on cleaning duty today." Yagami Hayate said as she huffed in the room. "Man, Fate-chan! You run like a cheetah!"
"S-Sorry. She's probably in the incinerator then." Fate told her and stepped out of the room. "Thanks, Hayate!" She dashed out again heading for her destination.
"Hey wimps!" Someone shouted from behind them, the man at from the farthest group looked behind him. He turned his head left and right, and shrugged.
"Must be my imagination." He said and looked at the stripping show happening before his eyes.
"LOOK UP AND DOWN BEHIND YOU, ASSHOLE!" The man got his nuts kicked on as he rolled on the ground.
Library Committee Officer, Vita to the rescue. Although once more again belittled, she shows them her place. She lifted up a humongous toy hammer up her shoulder.
"Oh, why if it isn't cute, little—" Another man from the minion group gathered around the incinerator said as he was cut from his sentence. An arrow passing through his raised Elvis Presley hair, cutting it in half. "A-and Si-Signum-san…"
Signum sighed as she held down her bow and arrow. She only face palmed at the idiots gathered, and the idiots who doesn't know what's going on behind them.
"You know you little wimps, there're no books around here, but you see," Vita said as she put her fists on her waist and huffed out, "IT'S NOT IN MY FREAKING BOOK TO LET GO OF WIMPY PERVERTS!" She shouted at them as all hell breaks loose.
"Go easy on them, Vita-chan~" A blonde wearing a nurse's jacket appeared from beside Signum and clung to the pink haired female's arm.
"Shamal, why are you here?" Signum asked her as a blush flashed across her cheeks.
"Hayate-chan told me to come here and take care of the poor men getting hurt." She answered her and smiled.
Fate Testarossa-Harlaown ran towards the scene as she watched flying men screaming in pain. She immediately then high jumped inside the circle.
She moved like a flash as she knocked out the male behind Nanoha with a chop, and giving Yuuno a kick square on his face. She blushed at the sight of Nanoha slowly getting stripped of her clothes as she breathed heavily, training to sustain her energy, and her hurting shoulder. Fate took her into her arms and covered her with her winter blazer.
"F…-te…ch-…" Nanoha managed to call her, and collapsed on to the blonde's arms.
Fate brought her up and walked through the men who gave her way. She laid down the unconscious girl on the bench nearby.
"Please take care of her for a while." She told Shamal and Signum, her voice deep and filled with rage. "I just need to put back some loose screws."
She stood up and looked at a handful of men remaining. Vita on the other hand, is currently tying around a number of eighteen men in the same rope. At the same time a crowd of people came into the scene, along with Leti Lowran, the Discipline Officers and Shari.
"Is that Alicia-san? Or Fate?" Someone from the remaining men asked. "That's Alicia-san right?" "Why would she save Takamachi?"
"Good day, Yuuno Screwed Ass, nice to finally meet you." Definitely the Fate Testarossa-Harlaown said those words. She stood in-front of him as he sat on the ground, his hand on his kicked face. "My, aren't you having fun with your little game?" She told him.
In fright he pointed at her his puny little knife she swiftly kicked it off his hand. "Don't think I haven't been fed off your screwed up little game, Scrya."
"Y-You, infidel!" He shouted at her as he held his hand with his other. "You'll pay for this!"
"Stop it already!" She shouted at him. "Don't you just get tired of going after someone you're not capable of reaching, AT ALL?"
"Nanoha says she doesn't want you! You're being an idiot!" She shouted at him. "You guys too! What's wrong with you people?" She pointed at the remaining men standing around her. Everyone was quiet everybody intends to listen to her.
"I've always lived in the dark. Shadowed by my sister's presence." She said as line as she looked down. Just in time, Alicia Testarossa arrived in the scene. "I've always been in pain, with no one stretching a hand towards me."
She inhaled deeply, and looked at Yuuno Scrya who sat there. Tears fell down from her eyes, "It was only her who talked to me. It was her who stood beside me after everything that's happened to me. She's my light!"
"What are you…?" Yuuno Scrya tried talking back.
"Shut up!" Fate told him as she pointed at him. "You've always lived a wealthy life! Your family loves you! Your parents! Your friends! You've got a lot of friends… you've lived your life in the love of your mother and father. I grew up with neither! And here you are, pursuing a path that you were nicely denied from!"
Her tears won't stop from falling, Nanoha got up from her previous lying down position. She draped up the blazer around her shoulders. Her uniform were torn apart, but she wasn't. She was listening to everything.
"She rejected you nicely, because she wanted to stay your friend. And what did you do? Trying to ruin her life by ga-ga-ga…" She stumbled on her words, blushing innocently at what she was going to say. "By gang raping her! Are you out of your mind? She rejected you nicely, she still wanted to friends with you! And you accept her answer this way?" Fate pointed at him, her eyes filled with rage, anger and in some parts hidden there, envy.
Fate Testarossa-Harlaown was all along, staying quiet about everything about her, and was shouldering her burdens alone, whilst the despicable bastard lived his life in wealth and happiness.
Warm arms wrapped around the crying blonde's shoulder. "Thank you, Fate-chan." Takamachi Nanoha told her. "From here on, I'll finish this issue myself."
Fate faced her and started hugging her, crying on her shoulders. Nanoha moved a comforting hand up and down her back until she calmed down. Fate detached herself from Nanoha, and stepped back.
"Stand up, Yuuno-kun." She told him, the man slowly obeyed her and stood up. "I'm sorry." She bowed at him. This was her respond to his feelings.
She stood up and looked at him. "And this is for hurting MY Fate-chan." She clenched her right hand, and punched him square. Although not her dominant hand, she sent him flying, his head going in the trashcan she previously held. Papers scattering all over his head, as police sirens went inside the school grounds.
Officer Chrono Harlaown of Uminari Police walked towards him. He looked at him in disgust.
"You're supposed to be a college graduate now, Yuuno." He told him. "But you stayed behind, and became a delinquent, because you thought your parents didn't love you." He lifted up Yuuno's hand and placed up a handcuff on it.
"You're under arrest for attempted rape, inflicting physical injuries and causing massive disturbance during school hours, within school grounds."
The aftermath was painful. Nanoha immediately collapsed right after Yuuno Scrya and his minions are sent into the precinct. Most probably the minions won't be jailed due to being minors. But Yuuno Scrya was already legal, most probably. He'll be in-jail for a long while. Hopefully forever.
A few days have passed, today, Nanoha gets out of the hospital. Fate Testarossa-Harlaown, age seventeen, holding a bouquet of flowers.
There were pretty yellow Agrimonies forming a circle to cup in the flowers inside. Red Carnations and Bellflowers stood out from the middle of the bouquet.
"Make sure to properly tell her, okay? And don't stumble on your words." Alicia Testarossa encouraged her and slapped her back. "Go get 'er!"
"M-Mou… I'll do it properly, no need to push me!" Fate told her sister, and went inside the hospital room. The crowd peered inside through the small door glass.
"Ah~ my cute, cute friends are so in-love~" Hayate told herself as she held hands with Carim, who's blushing beet red beside her.
Everyone was there, Hayate and her cousins, Shari, Alicia, and Nanoha's parents were present too. Watching from outside as the two talked inside.
"Na-Nanoha, Co-Congratulations from getting release off the hospital." Fate told her as she presented her the bouquet. They stood in-front of each other, getting lost into each other's eyes.
"Nyahaha~ Fate-chan, you make it sound like you're confessing." Nanoha said and took the flowers. "They're so pretty, thank you."
"Not as pretty as you do." Fate told her, her expression turning serious. She looked down at the bouquet and touched the yellow and green leaves that are in a circle. "These are Agrimony, which means 'Thankfulness.' Thank you, Nanoha, for saving me."
She told her and looked into slate-blue eyes, closing the distance between their faces. The blonde looked down again and touched the red flowers inside, "These are Red Carnations, representing my deep love for you. I love you, Nanoha. I'll never let something like this happen to you anymore."
She closed their faces again, her breath softly grazing on Nanoha's upper lip. She looked down again holding onto violet flowers, "And these, are Bellflowers, they say 'thinking of you,' I always think of you, Nanoha. I worry when you're not there or when I don't know what you're doing." She inhaled, closing their faces again. She exhaled slowly, "After high school, I want you to live with me, in a small apartment, as we go to college together. Because, Nanoha, You are my life."
Red stared into Blue. No more words are needed. The two closed the space between them, and kissed.
The two closed the space between them, and kissed.
Yes.
