A/N: Well… few days have passed. For the new chapter and the others, I'll change the storyline a little different from my Vietnamese version to suit for my new readers. And one good news, next week's test have been delayed until the next two weeks so I have more time to translate now :3.

Last thing, thanks for all of your reviews!

Chapter 4

Tomorrow morning, Fate went to school and saw a brown-haired girl was waiting for somebody next to the gate. She came to her position and smiled friendly. "Ohayou, Nanoha."

"Oh… Ohayou, Fate-chan." Nanoha quite surprised when she saw Fate was in front of her.

"About your cookies…" Fate blushed lightly. "Those are really good. I like it. Thanks again."

"Don't mention it. I'm glad you like it." Nanoha looked away to hide her red face.

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Nyahaha… Honestly, last night I couldn't sleep well so I went to school earlier than usual." Nanoha laughed. "I'm waiting for the others."

"Ok then…" Fate looked around. "I have to go now. See you later." Fate smiled again then entered to the campus.

Nanoha still couldn't believe that Fate did like her first handmade cookies. She smiled to herself before a group of girls gathered around her. They were angry and lots of murderous air flew around them.

"You are the new transfer student, right?" The short-haired girl asked.

"On the first day at school, we skipped you for hanging around with Fate-sama but you still dared to go together with Fate-sama again on the second day?" Another girl said.

"And those holding hands and giving cookies…" One girl with furious face stood closer to Nanoha. "Few minutes ago, you were so daring to talk to her."

"Fate-chan is my friend. I can talk to her whenever I want!" Nanoha said but she was scared.

"Well, well… Calling Fate-sama with a pet name? Don't you dare to say that again damn it!" The short-haired girl grabbed Nanoha shirt then pulled her up. At the same time, Nanoha's friends came.

"Nanoha-chan!" Hayate waved.

"Hayate is here. Let's get outta here!" The most furious girl said, made her partner to release Nanoha. But before they went away, the short-haired girl warned.

"If we see you go with Fate-sama again, you know what will happen next. Is that clear?"

Nanoha watched the girls left. She sighed then turned to her friends.

"Nanoha-chan, are you OK?" Hayate looked at Nanoha to make sure that she was fine.

"I'm fine. Luckily, you guys came right on time." Nanoha smiled.

"I can't believe those girls dare to do this to you. Fate is not theirs." Arisa looked angrily.

"Skip it, Arisa-chan! We'll just make this more serious if we fight back those girls." Suzuka shook her friend's hand.

"Nanoha, are you sure you don't need me to go home with you today?" Yuuno looked down at Nanoha.

"Yes, I'm sure. I'll be fine." Nanoha fixed her cloth then said. "Ok guys. Let's go!"

Nanoha's group went to class. Not far from the gate were the three girls that had bullied Nanoha.

"I have no idea that she's Hayate's friend. What are we gonna do now?" The short-haired girl said.

"That doesn't matter. That girl is the manager of the track team. She'll be alone sometimes."

"She dares to stay so close to Fate-sama like that; we have to teach her a lesson that she has to remember it in her whole life." The other girl said. But when they finished their words, they felt cold at the back of their neck. Three girls slowly turned around and then jumped back when they saw Fate was standing behind them, looked at them furiously.

"Eh… Fate-sama… we didn't do it on purpose." The short-haired girl said.

"We do nothing to that girl. Really!" The other girl was scared too.

Fate looked at them then left without saying any words. Those three breathed a sigh of relief. The short-haired girl asked her friends.

"Oh gosh, Fate-sama seems mad at us. I think we should forgive that girl then."

"Shut up! Now we must teach that girl real lesson. Fate-sama cares about her so much just like Hayate."

"But the time we warned Hayate, Fate-sama has scolded us. Now we do it again, Fate-sama will definitely hate us."

"That girl is Fate-sama's patient so we have to skip her. But not this time. I have a friend in the track team told me that this evening, the manager has to stay late because of the meeting to prepare for the next competition in next three months."

"But Fate-sama is the captain, isn't she?" The short-haired girl said.

"Too easy. You two need to distract her for me when I am doing that with the brunette girl."

"I still don't think this plan is going to work. But what is that anyways?"

"Just do what I said and everything will be fine." The girl smiled evilly. Then, the school bell rang.

In that evening, Fate looked at Nanoha when she was running around. When she ran for a few rounds, she came to Naoha's place. "What's happened this morning after I left?"

Nanoha quite surprised with Fate's question at first but the she answered happily. "… Nothing at all. Thanks for asking anyways."

"You have to stay later, right?"

"Yeah, the race will be held at the end of September. Until then we only have almost three months for training so I think our team should be prepared."

"Wow, you're a very hard-working girl." Fate smiled. "I have to say that choosing you as the team's manager was the best decision I have ever made."

"… Thanks. I'm not good like that." Nanoha blushed.

"So… can I stay with you? I mean… after school…" Fate blushed lightly. "I really worry if… you stay alone… well… at school…"

"You don't need to." Nanoha shook her head. "Nothing's going to happen to me. Besides, you should go to Hayate-chan's house."

"Don't worry about that. I still have a lot time before I go. It's my fault that you get into their troubles so…"

Nanoha couldn't answer anymore. She quickly used her clipboard to hide her dark-red face. Their conversation was soon interrupted by a member of the track team. "Takamachi-san, we need some water here!"

"Hai!"

Nanoha ran to the changing room to take some water. Immediately from the outside of the field jumping out two girls who bullied Nanoha this morning and they came to talk to Fate. Fate quite surprised when those girls apologized for their manner in the morning. She looked around and saw the short-haired girl sneaked into the changing room. "Something is wrong here. But these girls couldn't be smarter, could they? This is too obvious." Fate thought.

Inside the changing room, Nanoha took a box of bottled water from a locker. Then she turned around and shocked when she saw the short-haired girl seems very angry. Again, the girl grabbed Nanoha's collar and shouted. "I told you to not come closer to Fate-sama!"

"I'm her friend also the team's manager so I have no choice. But you don't have any right to ban me from being by her side anyway." Nanoha tried to get rid of the hand was holding her shirt.

"I don't allow anyone hanging around with Fate-sama besides the rich ones. Your friend, Hayate was the only exception, not you!" After she finished her words, the girl tried to punch Nanoha but then the punch was been stopped.

Nanoha saw the girl's arm had been locked at her back. Then a low warm voice but angry appeared.

"She is an exception." Fate stared at the girl. "Now release her!"

The girl was in pain so she immediately released Nanoha. Then Fate pushed her out of the door to meet her partners.

"From now on, you three aren't allowed to do anything to Nanoha or her friends. If I noticed, you would be so happy that you have never met me. Is that clear?" Fate shouted at them. The girls quickly nodded then ran away. Fate turned back to Nanoha. "Are you OK?"

"I-I'm fine." Nanoha smiled at Fate. "Thanks a lot."

"Sorry for coming late. It's my fault to let those girls bulling you." Fate came closer to fix Nanoha's cloth, made the brunette blushed hardly. Nanoha tried to calm herself and said.

"… It's not your fault. I get used to get into these situations by now."

"But still…" Fate sighed. "Seriously, I really need to talk with that fan club…"

"Well… I think we should go. Everyone is waiting for their water." Nanoha took her box then went outside.

"Good idea!" Fate went out together with Nanoha.

Fate told to herself that she have to stay with Nanoha until she get back to her house safely then she can go anywhere she wants. And then, she really stayed with Nanoha. She even took a bus with Nanoha, a thing that she never does. When they got to Nanoha's house, Nanoha thanked the blondie and then went straight into her house. Fate slowly left. "What's this strange feeling? I only want to protect her like what I did to Hayate. Oh great…! Now my heart is beating even faster. Stop beating and stop thinking about Nanoha already, damn it! What did you do to me, Nanoha?" fate thought. When she got back to her home, she took a shower and brought her bag to Hayate's house. Before she left, Lindy called her.

"Fate, you've just come home. Eat some food first!"

"Sorry mom but I'll eat later. I'm not hungry now. Bye mom!" Fate answered then ran straight to Hayate's place.

When she got there, the Yagamis had just finished their dinner. Signum, one of Hayate's guardians, told Fate to come to Hayate's room. When she entered, the short-brown-haired girl was drawing something but then immediately threw it away as soon as she saw Fate.

"Fate-chan? You came earlier than I thought." Hayate unbuttoned her cloth.

"I always come around this time, right?" Fate took her tools out of her bag.

"Well… because you had to take Nanoha home. You didn't have your dinner, did you?" Hayate slowly lay on her bed by her stomach.

"What? How do you know that?"

"Yuuno-kun told me just a few minutes ago when he saw you two get back together. It kinda late at that time so I guessed you haven't had your dinner yet." Hayate smiled.

"OK then… genius! Whatever you're thinking about, I don't care!" Fate began doing her job. Several minutes later, she suddenly asked. "By the way, what's happened between you and Yuuno?"

"Wha-What do you mean?"

"Just guessing. You two are closer than friends, I think. You've told me a lot of things about him so…"

"Fine, fine! I confess. I like him!" Hayate tried to hide her face in her pillow.

"… I didn't say anything about you like him." Fate smiled.

"Wha… What?... Mou… You're so mean, Fate-chan."

"Have you confessed to him yet?"

"… No… Not yet…" Hayate blushed.

"You want to wait until when to tell him?"

"… I don't know… I don't know if he likes me or what?" Hayate said softly. "He just treats my like the others. He even cares about Nanoha more than me."

"Don't said those stupid words!" Fate pinched Hataye's back hardly, made the girl screamed. "I think he just cares about Nanoha like a brother cares about his little sister. You told me that they have been staying together since they were young, right?"

"Well… maybe you right. But that pinch was not necessary!"

"It was! I'll help you to get closer to him. I think he's a nice guy after all."

"Really?"

"Yep. Trust me! Friends for what?" Fate smiled.

"Thanks a lot, Fate-chan. You're the best." Hayate laughed.

"Don't mension it."

Hayate stayed silent for a while then shouted. "Ok!"

"Huh? What?" Fate jumped back.

"I know how to repay you for massaging me everynight and for helping me in the future." Hayate turned over to face to face with Fate.

"I don't need that. We're friends, right?"

"Right but you still have to accept this." Hayate sat up, used a towel to covered her body.

"Accept what?"

"This Sunday, you'll go to my family's coffee shop. I'll serve you free."

"You mean your Cosplay Café?"

"Well I work there in my free time so nevermind anything, just come. But not only me, one more special person works there too."

"Who?"

"Come and you'll know." Hayate winked. "You have to come then. I'll wait for you."

"Mou… fine. I will. But only this time, OK? Next time, I'll pay." Fate smiled.

"Whatever you like."

In the living room…

Sayuki: Finally, some dramas are here! *Smile*

Fate: (Begging) Please don't make me do anything stupid!

Sayuki: No I don't! (Smiles evilly) But the other does.

Nanoha: (Taking out Raising Heart) Who's the other, Sayu-chan?

Sayuki: (Sweating) Ah… no… no one…!

Fate: (Trying to save the situation) Well… about Nanoha's questions… what's your answer, Sayu-chan?

Sayuki: Oh that… *Smile* I didn't invite Nanoha because I thought asking a Japanese to help me translate a story into corrected English was a good idea. Even now I've had both of you; I still make a few errors with my grammar.

Nanoha: *Smile* Ok, I'm fine with that. But what about your Japanese words earlier?

Sayuki: I haven't told you guys that I also speak Japanese, have I? Although it's not as good as my English but I did write this story in Japanese. The problem is I don't think anyone would love to read a Japanese story more than an English story if I upload it on this website.

Nanoha: Wow… you really scare me now. (Eyes wide open) One story in three languages? Who are you, a translator?

Sayuki: Nope and I'll never do. But I do translate some stories and mangas, just for fun though. (Laughs.)

Nanoha: Yeah right… enough about yourseft. What will happen to my Fate-chan? Hayate is a pure pervert, you know.

Hayate : (Comes into the door) I heard that!

Sayuki: Why don't you just wait and see by yourself? Anyways, chapter 5 is coming soon… well until I have done all things for my translator's group. *Sigh* Now I have to write this fic completely different from the original story… in Vietnamese I mean. No more translation!

Fate: *Smile* Different culture huh?

Sayuki: (Sobbing) That's right… Only Fate understands me! (Hugs Fate)

Nanoha: (Sets up Rasing Heart) Sayu-chan… What are you doingwith my Fate-chan?

Sayuki: (Runs away) Ah! The White Devil is here! Someone! Help me!

Fate: (Freaks out) N…Nanoha! Calm down, please!

Nanoha: Starlight… Breaker!
