I'm Sorry!

"Ahh Fate-san, are you nervous?" Shugo asked Fate, spotting her in the crowd of people back stage.

"Yes, how about you?" she asked.

"A bit, but not enough to stop me from singing properly," he replied.

"I could never sing in front of so many people, you're really cool," Fate complimented. Shugo blushed,

"T-Thanks, but I managed to tell Kagami-san my feelings because of you." He flashed a sad smile to Fate.

Fate thought back to when Shugo admitted his feelings to Kagami in front of all of the third years. It was awkward to say the least. There had been silence for nearly two minutes. Fan girls of Shugo were obviously not pleased, glaring daggers into Kagami. Kagami herself was shocked, blushing, but she regained her posture and said thank you. It was Shugo's turn to be shocked; she had simply brushed him off. This only angered the fan girls further. Letting go of Kagami, he stepped back and took his place next to Fate. The remaining four acts were called up. Fate glanced over the crowd, ignoring the fan girls, to see what else everyone else's reactions were. Tsukasa and Miyuki had sad expressions on their face; they obviously knew what Shugo felt. Taking her gaze back to the stage, Fate drew her sight to Konata, who seemed rather impassive. Fate sighed and brought her thoughts back to the present.

"Maybe I shouldn't have told her…" Shugo trailed off.

"Why? She's still not told you her feelings, and it's better to take a chance than not to at all," Fate said, trying to encourage the boy. He smiled and thanked Fate.

"Shugo-kun."

"Yeah?"

"There something I need to tell you regarding Kagami-san," Fate said sternly.

"What?" Shugo asked, alarmed. Fate quickly explained to him about Takeo. She had to let Shugo know as quickly as possible, he could help them if Takeo did anything.

"So he's back," Shugo mumbled to himself.

"Hai…"

"Thank-you for telling me Fate-san, I will make sure to keep an eye on him."

"You don't need to be watching him constantly, excluding us there are 8 other people watching him," Fate informed. Shugo's eyes shot open.

"Eight?" he asked, surprised by the amount.

"Hai, there is Konata-san, Tsukasa-san, Miyuki-san, Nanoha, Tiana, Subaru, Erio and Caro."

"I know who everyone except Erio and Caro are," Shugo said.

"Oh, you'll spot them easily. They are only children but they are very strong. Caro has pink hair and Erio had red hair," Fate described. Shugo nodded his head.

"Well, it's always great to have allies."

"Kitamura-san, Testarossa-san, you're on next," a girl told them, appearing with a list.

"Ok, thank-you," Shugo said smiling at the girl. The girl blushed and excused herself.

"Shall we go?" Shugo asked, facing Fate.

"Let's."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last of the second year acts had just finished, making they're way off the stage. The clapping lasted for about a minute, stopping to let the next act perform. Kagami walked on to the stage standing in front of the microphone.

"I hope that you are all enjoying the show so far. My name is Kagami Hiiragi; I am the seniors' representative. The senior's will now be performing the last acts of the sh-"Kagami stopped. Pain surged through her back, her breathing immediately became heavy. Whispers could be heard through out the crowd; they didn't know why she had stopped. The section six members, Konata, Tsukasa and Miyuki all looked at each other. This wasn't good. Another wave of pain swept over her, bringing her down to her knees. Gasps of shock could be heard. Suddenly Fate and Shugo rushed onto the stage, quickly approaching Kagami. Extending his hand forward towards Kagami, Shugo felt his hand burn. Yelling in pain he quickly retracted his hand. Screams of horror could be heard coming from the audience.

'Set up a barrier,' Konata quickly ordered Miyuki.

'Hai.'

'He's doing this, we have to stop him, now,' Konata said to all of the section six members and Tsukasa.

'But the audience…' Caro trailed off.

'We have to do this now, we don't know what will happen to Kagami-san,' Nanoha said.

'I've set up a barrier, and also a defensive barrier around the audience,' Miyuki informed everyone.

'Is there any way we can transport them?" Tiana asked.

'I'm afraid not, I tried to set up transportation but it seems Takeo has set up some sort of restriction,' Miyuki replied.

'There's no more time for chatting! Let's go!' Konata yelled, leaping out of her seat and transforming into her combat gear.

"Caelum set up!" Konata yelled. A blue light engulfed Konata momentarily, before Konata burst from inside the light. The crowd screamed in fright. Caelum connected with the barrier, Konata grunting as she realised how strong the small barrier was. Looking past the spark flying from the barrier, Konata's eyes met Kagami's. Konata's heart wrenched, the girl below looked so scared and confused. All Konata wanted to do was hold her in her arms and tell her everything was ok. Suddenly Shugo appeared next to Konata, he too attacking the barrier. They leapt back away from the barrier, not being able to break through it. Preparing to attack the barrier again, they stopped when they heard a scream. Turning their heads Shugo and Konata saw Takeo sending all of the section six members flying. Tsukasa and Miyuki quickly attacked themselves, having chanted a spell. Striking Takeo's barrier at full force, Takeo wore under his breath, annoyed.

"Diabolus," he said talking to his device.

"Malum arcus," he commanded.

"Yes, master," the robotic voice said. Several black/red orbs of light appeared, shooting out powerful beams, hitting Miyuki and Tsukasa. They crashed into the school building, dust rising up. Takeo laughed, he seemed rather happy.

"Candidus veritas, strike!" Konata yelled out, firing a powerful blue wave. Takeo quickly turned around, putting up a shield, but too late. The attack hit him directly, sending him flying into the air.

"Starlight breaker, shoot!" Nanoha yelled. Angry at being hit, Takeo disappeared. Starlight breaker, a second late, fired through nothing except air.

"Where did he go?" Tiana asked, Cross Mirage armed.

"Did he transport?" Subaru asked.

"Yes, that is one of his special moves," Miyuki confirmed, appearing from the school building, covered in dust and debris.

"Watch out! He can appear anywhere!" Konata warned.

"He's on the stage!" a voice from the silent crowd yelled. Heads shot around to face the stage, where Takeo was inside the barrier with Kagami.

"Get off of me!" Kagami screamed in detest as Takeo held her in his arms. Kicking and flailing did nothing for her, only restricting her more as Takeo placed a binding spell on her.

"Get away from her!" Konata yelled as she aimed Caelum towards Takeo.

"Are you really going to fire?" Takeo asked.

"You'll end up hitting her as well," he said. Konata tensed up, he was right. Slowly she lowered her weapon.

"You're clever," Takeo mocked.

"What do you want from us?" Fate asked Takeo.

"From you? Ha! Why would I want anything from you? You are all so weak," Takeo said, signalling to the mages.

"The one I want something from is her," he explained, looking over at Kagami.

Why me? I don't even have powers!" Kagami exclaimed. Takeo smirked.

"Oh, but you do. You just don't know about them, like how you didn't know that any of your "friends" had them. They're obviously not your friends. Friends tell each other everything right?"

Kagami stiffened.

"Kagami, no! Don't listen to him! He's trying to turn you against us!" Konata yelled. Kagami slowly turned her head, facing the girl who had just yelled.

"That's right! We're really your friends!" Nanoha backed.

"Please, don't listen to him!" Tiana joined in.

"They're just trying to win you over. Remember how you wanted to be in the same class as chibi over there?" Takeo asked. Kagami nodded, confused as to why he would bring that up.

"Well, you were separated from her by her request," Takeo informed. Kagami's eyes shot open.

"What?" Kagami breathed out in disbelief.

"Kagami, I can explain!" Konata desperately exclaimed. Kagami didn't seem to be listening, only shaking her head, trying to get over the fact.

"Kagami!" Konata tried again.

"Look what you've done to her. Tsk tsk tsk," Takeo commented, wagging his finger.

"She hates you," he said to Kagami.

"No, she doesn't. She doesn't…" Kagami said to herself over and over.

"Kagami-san! Who are you going to believe, us or that creep?!" Fate screamed.

"Onee-chan, please listen to us!" Tsukasa cried.

"Kagami-san, we would never lie to you!" Shugo backed.

'This is annoying me. She still hasn't reached an unstable emotional state. I'll have to try something else, for now I have to get away…' Takeo thought. Levitating himself and Kagami off of the stage, still inside the barrier,

"Well as fun as this is, we'll be going now," he said, before transporting him and Kagami away.

"Wait!" Shugo yelled, flying towards them, attempting to stop them, but to no avail.

"Let's go and search for them, they've got to be somewhere in this barrier!" Subaru exclaimed.

"It seems that he has created an even bigger barrier around the one which I created," Miyuki informed them.

"Well if everyone searches then we'll find them even quicker!" Subaru tried again.

"No, I don't think that we should split up, even if that way is quicker," Fate said.

"Why?" Tiana asked, curious as well as Subaru.

"Well, we've just seen how strong he is. If we split up and then he decides to come after us then he will very easily defeat us. Or if one of us finds him, then it'll be exactly the same; we'll be vulnerable," Fate explained.

"That does make sense…" Erio agreed.

"But we have to find them quickly, we don't know what he's planning to do to Kagami-san," Shugo commented, joining in the discussion.

"I think that you should just leave her. She deserves this," a voice suddenly said. All heads turned to the girl who had just made the cold comment.

"You take that back!" Konata yelled, grabbing onto the girl.

"Make me!" the girl yelled back.

"Himiko-san! Kagami-san does not deserve this at all!" Shugo exclaimed at Sakuya. She became tense, she didn't want to be disliked or yelled at by her idol.

"We have to go find onee-chan!" Tsukasa burst out, distracting Konata and Shugo from Sakuya.

"You're right, we're wasting time," Konata agreed, letting go of Sakuya.

"Miyuki, can you heal everyone?" Konata asked the pink haired mage.

"Hai," she said. Quickly summoning her magic, pink lights radiating from the other mages and herself, she healed them all. Everyone thanked her, making her blush.

"Let's go!" Subaru exclaimed, creating a blue road, Tiana on her back. Everyone who could not fly was to be carried by someone who could or by someone like Subaru or Caro.

Tsukasa and Miyuki were taken onto Friedliche's back, Shugo carried by Konata. They all set off, making sure that no-one was behind or ahead. Keeping within a good range from one another, they decided on a search pattern. They would go to the open places within the barrier first and then work through to the more closed areas.

"I'm counting on you," Konata said to Shugo as they flew through the air, keeping a constant eye out for Kagami and Takeo.

"Ahh, same here."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Takeo smiled to himself as he watched the group of mages race off to search for him and Kagami.

'Fools, by the time they get back here, it will be way too late to save her,' Takeo said to himself, pleased that his plan had worked. Making himself and Kagami visible, he appeared on the stage.

"Hey! Aren't you meant to be somewhere else in the town?" Sakuya asked Takeo, seeing him appear. Other people in the crowd nodded in agreement.

"I'm not stupid," Takeo said, turning to face Sakuya.

"You really don't like her do you?" he asked.

"No! I absolutely hate her!" Sakuya spat.

"Good, then you will love what happens next," Takeo said, before turning back around to Kagami.

"What are you going to do to her?!" a father in the crowd suddenly yelled out. Quickly other people began to join the father, yelling at Takeo. But lots of people did not; they disliked Kagami, and thought that she deserved to be punished.

"Be quiet! If you don't I will cut her throat!" Takeo threatened. To prove his point he brought his sword to Kagami's neck. Lightly slicing her neck, he glared at the crowd. They all fell silent; shocked that he would actually do such a thing.

"Now sit down and shut up! I don't want to hear anymore out of any of you unless you are yelling your hate for her!" Takeo commanded. Silence fell; no-one said anything, scared of Takeo's power. Even Sakuya was shocked. Sure she hated Kagami, but slicing her throat, if only a little was slightly exaggerated. But still part of her was smiling at the torture the purple haired girl was receiving. Then Takeo took his attention away from the audience and back to Kagami. He saw the fear in her eyes. Smiling in satisfaction he raised his hand. Chanting a few words he vaporized most of Kagami's clothes leaving her in only her bra and panties. Kagami's face flushed and she squealed.

"What are you doing?!" she screamed at him.

"Getting rid of your clothes," he said, stating the obvious.

"Why?!"

"You talk too much, you know that?"

"You're crazy!"

"Not really, just determined."

"For what?" Kagami asked.

"Your power," he replied simply.

"My power? I don't even know what my power is even if I do have one!" Kagami protested.

"Be silent," he ordered.

"Why should I?!" Kagami protested.

"Because every time you make a noise, this will happen," Takeo said. Using his magic, he lifted Kagami into the air, keeping her floating there. Her arms were lifted up and to her sides, her legs together, but unmovable. (Just imagine the position Jesus was on the cross; that sort of position).

"Diabolus, electrifying chain," Takeo commanded. His device quickly changed into a long, electrified chain. Kagami's eyes went wide; he couldn't be doing what she thinks he was doing. Lifting up the chain, he smirked evilly before whipping it down. Kagami screamed in agony, the chain connecting with her arm. Her scream was bone chilling. The audience turned away and covered their eyes, the cruelty was too extreme. Even Sakuya had to turn away; no part of her wanted this. Takeo whipped again, another scream filling the air.

"Didn't I say that this would happen if you made a noise?!" he yelled at her, bringing the chain down on her once again. Kagami couldn't help but scream for all she was worth. The chain burned into her skin on contact, leaving marks. Then the electricity would surge through her wound, the pain excruciating.

"KONATA!" Kagami screamed at the top of her lungs. Tears were pouring out of her eyes, blood coming out of her cuts. She was so scared.

"I'M SORRY!" she screamed again.

"HELP ME!"

Chain connected with skin.

"KONATA!"
