Author's notes: Okay, this is Chapter 2 things might seem to go a little slower in this one, but there's also a little bit more raciness to it. As each chapter comes up, so will the raciness of the chapter. This would be considered a hand fan level of raciness. When it gets to be a cold shower chapter I will let you know.

Rating: still at a T rating, but pushing M. *_~

This is a Yuri/Shoujo-Ai Fan Fiction. That means girl loving girl. If this offends you or you do not like you do not need to read it. *_*

This chapter is in Fates Point Of View (POV).

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or the anime [MGLN] I am also not making any money off from this story. Although it would be nice to be able to get royalties if I owned them. ^_^ Opens wallet and moth flies out. v_v

I think I've rambled on long enough. So on to the good stuff and enjoy.

Chapter 2-Lightnings Curse

Fate's POV

'Where am I? Why do I feel like one giant bruise? And why do I have this warm comforter on me?' These were all very good questions that my tired brain just couldn't come up with the answers to. So I decided to drift back off to sleep and find out my answers when I woke back up.

'Okay, my body is still one giant ache from head to toe. Next, that warm comforter is still on me. No, wait a minute; it's moving on its own.' Gently opening my eyes to take a look at my surroundings, the walls are white with machines that you would find in a Hospital or Doctor's office. The curtain around my bed is a sage green; a common color for medical facilities. As I glanced down my bed towards my feet, my eyes widen with surprise to see that my comforter is a living breathing person.

Apparently, when they picked us both up off the floor, we were so intertwined that they left us together. 'Looking at her sleeping like this, she looks so peaceful and calm. She's nothing like my first impression of her screaming at her trainees, or the fierce firecracker that fought me. I wonder what she's like in bed with her lover, boyfriend, or husband whoever she's with. I hope whoever it is, can keep up with her. I think she'd give me a run for my money in bed. Someone as beautiful as she is has to be taken.'

Sleep was calling me back to her embrace so I obliged. I was almost asleep when Nanoha moved. It felt like she was trying to get comfortable draped over my body. When all of a sudden one of her legs moved in between mine and slid up tight to my apex. My breath caught and held. I dare not move my hips in the slightest. I'll be humping her thigh, as that's not a bad thought to me, I don't think she would appreciate it. She stopped shifting and moving around. It seems I can start to breath again. So I start to let myself drift back off to sleep.

I don't know how long I had been asleep this time. All I knew was something was feeling really good, very arousing. Slowly opening my eyes I prayed that I hadn't start humping her thigh. Taking a mental note, it wasn't my lower half, but the upper half of my body. Specifically my right breast was being massaged. Looking down, I noticed that Nanoha had her hand underneath my shirt and in my bra and it was in the process of pinching and rolling my nipple between her thumb and forefinger in a very pleasurable and pleasing way.

If I don't stop her soon, I was going to have my way with her and I have never loss control, like the way I want to right now. Taking my right hand placing it over hers, I pressed it down onto my breast to stop her hand movement. This did two things, it increased my arousal, but it also woke Nanoha up.

Seeing this, I stated "If you don't remove yourself from me, I will take you right now. I suggest that if you don't want me to lose control, then you should move quickly."

Nanoha in her surprise and panic she rolled right off the bed. With a loud thud and a groan of pain at hitting the floor, she muttered that she was all right. Raising an eyebrow, I went to look over the side of the bed to see if she was all right. But I heard footfalls coming towards us. Not knowing who it was or whether they were friend or foe, my body reacted instantly.

Jumping out of the bed, I placed myself between Nanoha and the person that was coming towards us. This woman had earned my respect this morning. I was not about to let anyone hurt her. I readied my hand for my tazor move.

The green curtain was thrown back. A blonde haired woman with violet eyes in doctor attire was in front of me. Her face went from concerned to surprise then to upset and angry. Apparently she thought I had attacked Nanoha and that's why she was on the floor.

"What have you done to Nanoha and why did you hurt her?" The blonde haired woman was reaching her hand up to a necklace around her neck. My guess was that was her device. So, I charged up my attack ready to strike.

I felt a hand on my leg. Chancing a glance down at Nanoha, her eyes were pleading not to hurt the woman. "Shamal, I'm all right. She didn't attack me. I kinda fell off the bed. Nyahaha."

Straightening out of my attack stance, I made a mental note that I liked her laugh. But now, I had a small problem. I had a fully charged tazor attack and only one place to put it. My problem was that Nanoha was still touching my leg and if I recalculated it back into myself, then she'd get hurt.

"Nanoha I need you to move away from me. I don't want you to get hurt by this."

With a questioning look Nanoha removed her hand from my leg, scooted back and got up off the floor. When I was sure the both of them were far enough away from me that it wouldn't jump to them, I open the palm of my hand and hit my stomach, so it would release its charge.

The electrical charge that was in my hand hit my body. Normally I just feel a tingling sensation throughout my body as it's reabsorbed, but this time I felt its full impact and it brought me to my knees. My body started to twitch and spasm. My eyes rolled up into my head. I must've passed out because when I came to, I was laying on Nanoha lap on the floor.

"Do you want to tell me what you just did to yourself? And why Shamal would go into a panic at seeing you pass-out on the floor just from touching your stomach? If we are going to be partners, I think we both need to know what each other can do. Don't you think so partner?"

I got a warm feeling in my chest when she called me partner, but. "What makes you think we're going to be partners? I just said that I was going to join the team if I was beaten. Besides I work best alone." Her lap was too inviting so I sat up. I was hoping that she would forget her questions with my rebuke on being partners. For now it seems to have worked. I don't like explaining what I am.

"I see. Well, I always thought partners protected each other like you did earlier when you stood between me and someone you didn't know. When in fact you were ready to attack first and ask questions later. If that isn't what a partner does, then I don't know what is." Standing up she started brushing herself off then turned fully towards me, as I was still sitting on the floor.

"Come on let's go. I need to show you how to get to our apartment. Yes I said our apartment. If you don't like it, take it up with Hayate at morning practice." Turning around, she started walking towards the open curtain and stopped looking over her shoulder. She said, "I want to get going so I can eat something and take a shower before going to bed. If you really have a problem with this it's a two bedroom apartment and we all have to share with at least one member of the team. I'm the only one without a roommate at this time so you're kinda stuck with me."

Out of the corner my eye, I could see her turn around and walked towards the exit door. With a sigh, I stood up quickly and was behind her before she even got to the door. Nanoha was telling Shamal that she would see her in the morning. The woman that Nanoha had called Shamal was staring at me as I walked behind Nanoha. I guess I didn't give the best impression when we first met face-to-face.

After about 10 to 15 min. of walking and taking elevators, we ended up arriving at a door that I was assuming was our apartment. She unlocked and opened the door, leaving it open for me to walk through. Once I close the door behind us, she indicates over to a closed door and mumbles, that's the door to my room. After that she heads over to the kitchen and starts pulling out some leftovers and warming them up. She put them onto plates and leaves mine on the counter and went to the table to start eating.

I'd been looking around the apartment while she was cooking. I noticed a sliding glass door with a balcony that had a few chairs. After she was done cooking, I picked up my dish and utensil and went out on the balcony to eat what she had cooked.

The best thing for all of us is for me to not even be here. After I finished eating, I put my plate down on the little table that was in between the two chairs. I tilted my head back and closed my eyes to try and relax from today's events. Inside I could hear water running in what I assumed was the bathroom so she must be in the shower. I was starting to feel guilty about giving her the cold shoulder. I liked her too much to let her get too close. This'll be the best for both of us. Everyone I've ever gotten close to always ends up dead.

"So you both woke up finally. By the looks of it, I thought you both were going to stay all night in the infirmary. Then meet us in the training room in the morning." I looked for the sound of her voice and Commander Yagami was standing on her balcony in her night clothes with a very large smile on her face.

Taking my eyes off the Commander, I looked down towards the street level. We were about 20 stories up. It wouldn't take much to scale down this building and disappear. At least that's what I was thinking at the time. The Commander must've sensed what I was thinking because all of a sudden her smile went away and she got very serious.

"You're not thinking of leaving so soon are you? After all, we had a deal that if the best on my team beat you, you would join my team. Also all my team members live in the building, so this is going to be your new home." Turning with a smile, the Commander starts walking to her door; stopping and turning back towards me. "By the way, if you leave the building without permission, I will consider our deal null and void. Have a nice night and I'll see you in the morning."

It was a good thing I had finished my food because there's no way I could stomach anything after that. Picking up my plate, I walked into the apartment and stopped short. Seeing Nanoha standing in her night shirt with sad eyes… she had heard the one-sided conversation.

Nanoha looked like she wanted to say something, but every time she went to try and say something, nothing came out. I went to the kitchen cleaned my plate and put it to dry. Walking towards the room that was indicated as my bedroom, I stopped in front of the door with my back still turned to her. I told her something that I dearly hoped would save her life someday. "Nanoha don't ever depend on me because the moment you do, I will fail you and you will end up dead. Every person that has ended up depending on me have all died. That is why I refuse to work with anyone and why I work best alone."

With that said, I opened up my bedroom door and closed it behind me and then leaned back against it. Why did it hurt so much telling her the truth? My life is cursed that everyone I ever cared about disappears, or dies.

Getting myself back under control, I looked around the room. The room was as big as my current apartment. Well, now it seemed my former apartment. On one wall was a king-sized bed, a few dressers and two closets, the bed was made with what looked like clean sheets.

Which is all I needed to know at this point in time as the day's events were starting to finally catch up to me. I could feel myself starting to shut down. Walking towards the bed, I started to strip off my clothing. Lifting the covers, I crawled into the center of the bed. I curled into a tight ball wishing that this day had never happened.

Author's notes: Well this is the end of Chapter 2 hope you've enjoyed reading. Sorry it was a little slow, but the next few chapters should pick up a bit. Unfortunately, any time you have characters in a new setting. It always takes at least one or two chapters to get them established. Although I will continue the day to day activities in each chapter. I love the mundane activities between characters. This can really make the characters three-dimensional instead of two-dimensional. If I go overboard on this please let me know I'll trim it back a bit.

I know some of you have asked about their ages at this point in time Fate is 19 and Nanoha is 20.

For all of you that have reviewed, thank you very much for your words of encouragement as well as some pointers. Please continue reviewing I do appreciate positive criticism, but I know that sometimes I need negative criticism also. But as the old saying goes, you get more with honey than vinegar. So Pleeease review and tell me what you really think of my chapters so far and by leaning too far in one direction and my not being more expressive. Reading reviews makes me really, really, really happy. Whether you liked it or not I would really like to know, so please review. Thank you. ^_^

In Love & Light,
