A/N – Sorry that it's taken so long to update! You may have noticed that I posted a new story in Lucky Star, so I focused on writing that for 1-2 days. But something freaky happened to me. You know how in my story Shugo fell down the stairs and went into a coma? Well, after I updated last, the next morning I fell down the stairs in my house, 15 of them maybe, and it really hurt. I didn't go into a coma; I just bruised my back, and hurt from the back of my knees all the way up to the top of my back. I just came back from skiing so sorry if it seems a bit sloppy, I'm tired. P.S- I'm changing Yui-nee-chan to Yui-nee-san because that's the correct version!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Lucky Star or Nanoha StrikerS!
Ok instead of quotes I'm putting something about me. I like yaki soba...a lot

An Angel of the Earth
"Yui-nee-san, it happened again…"
Konata sat against the wall, Kagami's head on her lap. Gently pulling up the jacket Konata had placed on Kagami, Konata stroked the girl's hair.
'She looks so cute when she's asleep…' Konata mentally noted. Placing her hand on Kagami's chest, Konata channelled some healing energy into Kagami. A blue light shone from her hand, but faded away after Konata finished healing Kagami. Suddenly steps could be heard, approaching them. Konata looked up. Standing above her was a shocked looking junior girl.
"Hey, isn't your name Tiana"? Konata asked, recognising the girl from Yutaka's description.
"Y-Yes, how did you know?" Tiana asked, surprised.
"Yutaka told me about you," Konata replied.
"U-umm, I'm sorry!" Tiana suddenly apologised, bowing.
"Huh? Why?" Konata asked, confused by the sudden outburst.
"W-Well I followed you and Hiiragi-sempai; I wanted to thank her again. But then she suddenly fainted, and then you…" Tiana trailed off. Konata froze, but quickly relaxed.
"About that, can you keep it a secret?" Konata asked.
"Yes! Of course! I understand how you feel!" Tiana squealed.
"You understand how I feel?" Konata repeated.
"A-Ahh well, you see, umm, I'm a magician…" Tiana explained.
"Wow, that's surprising!" Konata exclaimed.
"Umm does Hiiragi-sempai know?" Tiana asked, apprehensively.
"Kagami? No, she doesn't. But it's better off that way, I don't want to drag her into anything that could endanger her," Konata replied.
"…You really care about her don't you?" Tiana asked, after seeing the look in Konata's eyes, the tone in her voice.
"Of course! Someone has to watch over this silly girl!" Konata smiled.
"Hey, you live with Fate, Nanoha and Subaru right? Konata asked, bursting to ask a question.
"Yes, why?"
"Are they magicians as well?" Konata asked, excitement creeping into her voice.
"I-I don't think that I really have the right to tell you…" Tiana trailed off nervously.
"So that means they are," Konata noted out loud.
"Hey! I haven't even told you that yet!" Tiana exclaimed.
"Oh, but you just did," Konata teased, sticking her tongue out. Tiana blushed, cursing at herself for letting the others get found out so easily.
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone," Konata assured, emphasising the won't and anyone. Tiana sighed. Suddenly the sound of an engine filled the air. Yui had arrived. Quickly getting out of the car, she rushed over to Kagami.
"Did you heal her?" she asked Konata, checking the purple haired girl for injuries.
"Yes, she'll be fine. I need you to take her home, tell her parents what happened," Konata ordered. Yui nodded, agreeing. Picking up Kagami, making sure that she wouldn't wake the girl, she turned around and began heading back to her car. She spotted Tiana.
"Who are you?" Yui asked.
"My name's Tiana Lanster, I'm a friend of Hiiragi-sempai. Don't worry I won't tell anyone about your secret about being a magician," Tiana quickly replied. Yui just looked at her for a moment then at Konata. She laughed,
"You know, I prefer the sound of mage rather than magician!" she said to Tiana before heading back to her car with Kagami.
"Ahh! Yui-nee-san, don't forget her things!" Konata exclaimed, immediately picking up Kagami's bag handing it to Yui.
"Thanks, I'll see you soon!" Yui yelled racing off to Kagami's house.
"By the way, my name's Konata Izumi. Konata is fine," Konata introduced, bending down to pick up her things.
"It's nice to meet you Konata-san," Tiana said, bowing.
"Well, should we go home now?" Konata asked.
"Yes."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tiana arrived home, 20 minutes after parting ways with Konata.
"I'm home!" she called out, informing any people inside the house that she was back.
"Welcome back!" Subaru's voice called back. Stepping into the living room after removing her outside clothing, she saw everyone sitting together on the couches.
"Are we having a meeting?" Tiana asked, sitting down next to Subaru.
"Sort of, we're just discussing how everyone's first day went. Also if we found anything out," Subaru explained.
"So Tiana how was your first day?" Fate asked, smiling.
"Pretty good, as far as school goes," she replied, leaning back into the cushions of the couch.
"That's good," Fate commented.
"How about everyone else"? Tiana asked, curious.
"Excellent!" they all yelled.
"I know that it's highly unlikely, but did anyone find out anything regarding the high reading of magic?" Nanoha asked. She doubted that any of the Section Six members had found out anything, it was their first day after all, but she had to because it was her job. Tiana and Fate visibly tensed up. This did not go unnoticed by their friends.
"Fate-chan, Tiana, do you two know anything?" Nanoha asked, after watching both girls tensing up.
"Please tell us if you know anything," Caro encouraged.
"Can you tell us the names of who it involves?" Subaru asked. Tiana and Fate both took a deep breath.
"Kagami-san and Konata-san," they both said. Both girls stared at each other shocked. Everyone else looked the same.
"Fate-chan, why don't you tell us what happened, first?" Nanoha offered. It looked like Tia was still trying to arrange her thoughts. Fate nodded. She explained to everyone what happened at break, then during the afternoon when she had talked with Shugo.
"…He told me that he promised himself that he would protect her. It turns out that he was sent to find out where a high reading of magic was located, just like us. This of course means that he too is a mage. He works for my brother Chrono. He also said that ever since the incident on the stairs two years ago, Kagami-san has been avoiding him. He never saw her smile again, until Kagami-san became friends with Konata-san. He said that Konata was the source of all of Kagami's happiness. Apparently Kagami-san only smiles in a specific way to Konata-san - not to anyone else - a smile of pure happiness," Fate finished. The Section Six members quickly digested this information, their minds beginning to whir.
"Ok, Tiana, tell us what you know," Nanoha instructed.
"This morning at break time Kagami-san helped me back to my classroom after I got lost, that's how I met her. I thanked her before she left to go to her own classes. I didn't see her again until the afternoon classes. That was, of course, when she went up onto the stage. I didn't get a chance to talk to her during the afternoon, so after the bell went I followed her. She was walking with Konata-san, when she suddenly had an attack of some sort, but there was something strange about the attack. Right before the attack I felt magic near by. But it was gone before I could locate it. Konata-san had phoned someone, but I didn't catch the name. I heard a noise behind me so I tuned around, but it turned out to be a cat. When I turned back to Kagami-san and Konata-san, and I saw Konata-san healing Kagami-san. About as minute later I showed myself, and she confirmed to me that she a mage. Kagami-san does not know this though. I told her that I was a mage as well, as I thought that she could be trusted…" Tiana trailed off, trying to explain herself to everyone else. Nanoha nodded, signalling that it was ok and that she should continue.
"She also knows that all of us except Erio and Caro are mages as well…" she trailed off again, this time not so sure she would be forgiven.
"Well Fate-chan and I have met her and we know that she won't tell anyone, she's that kind of person. Plus she's a fellow mage, she knows that she is not to tell anyone else," Nanoha said, nodding.
"Then the person that Konata-san phoned appeared. Her name was Yui. Anyway, she seemed to know a lot about magic and its effects etc. I introduced myself to her, for she thought that she was exposed. She gave me her approval and then left, taking Kagami-san back to her house." Tiana took a breath.
"Is that all?" Fate asked.
"Oh! Konata-san said that Yui just explain what happened to Kagami's parents, this means that Kagami-san's parents obviously know something. After that me and Konata-san began walking home," Tiana added.
"Did she tell you anything while you were walking back?" Fate again asked. Tiana nodded.
"She told me that she was a rank S , and that she had inherited her powers from her father and her late mother. She specializes in healing magic, offensive magic, defensive magic and speed. Although healing magic and speed are her strongest points she trains in offensive and defensive magic as well," Tiana said. Suddenly Nanoha asked,
"Why does she know so much magic? Why does she push herself to know so much?"
"Because, she wants to protect Kagami-san," Tiana answered.
"But she'll hurt herself! I would know!" Nanoha protested.
"That's what I told her, but she just smiled, and said that she didn't care what happened to her, as long as Kagami-san was safe."
"I need to talk to her about this…" Nanoha mumbled out to herself.
"Well now we know who we need to keep an eye on," Fate said, her mind putting together the information.
"Yea, we need to keep an eye on Kagami-san, Konata-san and Shugo-kun," Nanoha agreed.
"But that doesn't mean we should stop watching out for other possibilities that the high magic reading is coming from. Konata-san and Shugo-kun can't be making the high reading of magic all by themselves," Fate added.
"Just how high is the reading?" Erio asked, joining in the conversation.
"I was also wondering that as well, we wouldn't have been sent here if it wasn't incredibly high," Caro commented, she to curious.
"Fate-chan, do you think we're allowed to tell them?" Nanoha asked the blonde.
"Yes, I think that they would find out anyway."
"Ok. Well when HQ did a scan of Earth the reading they got over this area was mind blowing. As a specialist section, who had the Aces and the most promising students TSAB had to offer, they sent us," Nanoha explained.
"What was the level of reading?" Tiana asked.
"The level they read was over SSS," Nanoha replied. She heard all, of the students gasp.
"Over SSS? But that's-"Subaru began but was cut off by Nanoha.
"Impossible? That's what I thought. They re scanned the area over 50 times, and it still said the same thing. The machine wasn't faulty, or broken so they were confused and scared when they read it," Nanoha explained.
"The researchers said that there had been a reading of magic this high once in the past before. It was written as a poem/story. They found the following paragraph in an ancient book.
When the world fell into darkness, one light shone.
A light of hope, of warmth.
A light so bright, it filled the world.
In a time of need an angel helped us,
An angel of life,
An angel of love,
An angel of the earth.
That's where there was rip in the page, some of the text missing, but the bottom of the page read,
Beating her wings, bright as starlight,
She soared into the sky.
Their colours mixing, their power merging,
Their memories flashing through everyone's minds.
The sun setting, the world saved, the-
The rest of the sentence was erased, but one word survived at the end, it read the word "dead". A note at the end of the poem said that the angel had the power of 2 million SSS mages, but that alone couldn't beat the darkness, apparently the angel needed someone, or something." Nanoha finished.
"Do they know who the they in "their" are?" Caro asked.
"Well they give it a 98 that one of them is the angel. They cannot say for certain as the page was torn. They have no idea who the other is," Nanoha answered.
"I take it that they also don't know what died?" Erio asked.
"Well they presume it was the darkness as it is not here today as far as they are aware, but it could also be something else that died," Nanoha again answered. The room fell silent. None of them had really imagined what they were looking for.
"Does that mean that Kagami-san, Konata-san or Shugo-kun might be the cause of this?" Fate asked Nanoha, breaking the silence.
"As much as I hate to say it, yes," Nanoha replied to Fate.
"But didn't you say that they can't be making that amount of magic?" Subaru asked, scared.
"No, Fate-san said that Konata-san and Shugo-kun couldn't be making the high reading of magic," Tiana said to her friend.
"That only leaves Kagami-san…" Fate added.
"But none of us have picked up readings of magic from her, right? So she can't be the cause of it. Remember there still everyone else left in this area. We have to check all of them as well," Nanoha encouraged.
"That's true, I swear I got a reading of magic off of Miyuki-san and Tsukasa-san," Fate encouraged as well.
"Ok, let's get a plan done before we go to bed!" Nanoha cheered.
"Hai!" everyone echoed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
"Konata?" Kagami choked, waking up, looking around to locate the small, blue haired girl. She was nowhere in sight. Getting out of her bed, she stretched then got changed into her pyjamas. Sitting down at her desk, she opened her bag, taking out her unfinished homework.
"Konata has my notes…" Kagami sighed out. "Oh well she needs them more than I do."
After finally finishing all of her homework 40 minutes Kagami lay back into her chair.
"Oww that hurts," Kagami said out loud, pain going through her back. Turning herself around to see if anything was on the back of the chair, Kagami saw blood. Raw, red blood covered the back of her chair. Beginning to shake with fear, Kagami's breathing came in quick short rasps as more pain coursed its way down her back. She let out a scream, the pain was unbearable. Loud footsteps could be heard throughout the house. Kagami's bedroom door burst open, all of her family members rushing in to see what was wrong. They froze at the sight before them. Kagami was lying on the floor, crying and whimpering in pain, blood staining her back.
"Onee-chan!"

A/N – I didn't really know what to write after the first part of the story, but I managed. That end bit, will be as gruesome as I'll go, unless you guys don't mind (Not gruesome enough to go M or anything) Anyways, how was that? That poem/story thing I wrote in like 5 minutes so sorry if it's bad. I'm not exactly the best person to write those sort of things…Hopefully it wasn't too bad. Leave a review!
