My parents and the new girl came into my room and closed the door for some privacy. My dad motioned towards the short female beside him and made the introductions for me. "Nanoha," He started. "This is Yagami Hayate, she just joined our youth group at church. Hayate, this is my daughter, Nanoha."
"Pleased to meet you." Hayate spoke to me a little nervously, bowing down.
"Have we... met before?" I looked at her harder, wracking my brain to place it. I know I've seen her... but it's so foggy!
"Ahaha... I've come in your bakery before."
Oh, was that it? I nodded at her and was about to say something along the lines of welcome to our church group but my doctor chose that time to come back in the room. "Hello, Nanoha. How are you feeling?"
"Fine," I replied just like always.
The man gave me a look and I knew right then that I wasn't about to enjoy the next part. He glanced at Hayate and then my father, who nodded. I didn't mind, all of the church knew about me, and she was here to wish me well anyway... "WEll," The man continued. "I'm sorry to say that Nanoha's condition has worsened..."
"I'm fine," I interrupted meekly, but was ignored.
"Her lungs are starting to get weak... have you had trouble breathing lately?"
I thought back to my few coughing spells and spitting up blood a few days ago. "No," I lied.
"Nanoha." My mom's voice made me look down sadly.
"... A little." I spoke again, voice soft.
The doctor continued. "Have you had any blood in your mouth?" The corners of my lips twitched lightly at one reply I could have given to that, but instead I simply nodded. "I see... As I told your parents, I want to increase your medication... Also, you will need to increase the frequency of your liquid medicin."
"not more shots," I groaned.
"I'm sorry. Just twice a week now." He sighed. "Nanoha... This is your health, you must take it seriously."
I nodded sadly. "I know, I don't need to be reminded I'm dieing."
"You won't die unless you don't follow our orders. Take your pills twice a day and the shots twice a week. Doing so will ensure your body doesn't shut down."
I suddenly got a little annoyed. "My body is getting used to your pills! I'm making myself sick by taking so many!"
The man kept his cool and gave me a moment to calm down before speaking again. "I know... I'm sorry, but this is all we can do... If it gets any worse, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to stay in the hospital indefinetly."
I felt my throat get tight. I knew Lupis was serious but... Being bedridden indefinetly!? No...
My mom gave me a hug. "Don't worry, Sweetie..."
I shook my head. "I'm fine. Really. I'll be okay." The doctor nodded at my father and got one in return. Taking my mother's hand, he went outside with them, probably to talk about finances. As if we wern't broke enough as it is...
"So," Hayate sat down next to me and I blushed, having forgotten that she was even there. "Do you go through this often?"
I smiled lightly. "They think I'm made of glass, I'll be just fine."
"That's good," She laughed lightly and looked down at her hands. "Um... The youth group were going to get you a fruit basket but they were out...so..." She blushed and took out a shiny apply from her purse. "I picked this up on the way, shall I peel it for you?"
"I like the peel, but I wouldn't mine if you cut it?" I smiled at the thoughtful move.
Hayate nodded and took out a pocket knife. "Don't worry, it's clean." It flipped out smoothly and she slowly started quartering it. "So, Lupis was it?"
I nodded. "Mmn. It basically slowly destroys your body. I mainly have lung problems and weak muscles. In a nutshell it means my body breaks apart from the inside out."
"That's so sad..." She fumbled in her coring and looked down, almost as if she were upset.
"Don't worry, I'll be okay." I shook my head. "Lupis is serious but I'm taking medicine for it...though I think my parents are having a really hard time paying..." Sighing, I looked at my sheet covered lap. I used to think about just giving up but... I met Fate-chan. She's a really sweet girl, I saw her out in hte hallway, did you talk to her?"
"Ah, um," Hayate looked at her project and started turning the quarters into eighths. "I talked briefly to her..."
I nodded. "Yeah... She's special I guess you could say. She made me want to keep trying."
"...She must really mean something to you, huh?" Hayate sounded rather sad.
"Yeah... Oh, I'm sorry, we just met and I'm rambling on and on!" I smiled at her. "Tell me something about yourself? We could be good friends, I think."
Hayate opened her mouth to say something but then closed it, looking at the food she was holding. "Right now... I'm not really sure."
"Hm?" I pried gently, giving her a choice to continue or change the subject.
Hayate looked over at me once more. "Have you ever questioned what you were doing? Like something you've done all your life only to doubt it later?"
"I have." I don't know what was bothering this cute shortie of a girl but I felt like she needed some cheering up, more so than me. "My religion. I was taught the same thing all my life, but once I was out in hte world and could think for myself... I realized that what I was told wasn't always the truth. I guess you could say that asking questions and doubting things can give you an opertunity to find out what you really want for yourself."
The girl looked at me for a long time before standing. "I'm sorry, Nanoha, I need to go. I just remembered that the doctor said not to feed you anything." She dumped the sliced apple into her purse unceremoniously and quickly walked to the door. Her hand paused at the knob and she turned to look back at me. "Oh, I forgot. Fate-chan said something about going to a bar tongiht... could you tell her I'd like to meet her there?"
I nodded at her curiously. "Sure. It was nice meeting you."
"You too." She smiled at me and left the room.
Leaning back in my bed, I chewed on her words. The doctor never said anything about giving me food, I wonder what was-
Fate burst into the door and stormed over to me, black smears littering her torn and burnt clothing, smelling strangely of gasoline. "Fate-chan!?"
"Nanoha!" Fate looked at me seriously. "Did you eat anything!?"
"N-no?" I sank back, a little scared at her snarling and panicked voice.
"Nothing? Anything at all!? A piece of gum, a drink, anything!?"
I shook my head, "No, Hayate-chan was doing an apple for me but she decided not to give it and-"
"Oh thank god," Fate fell on me and hugged me close. "I was so worried!"
"Worried?" I awkwardly pet the girl. "FAte-chan, what happened to you?"
She held me closer and sniffed, almost crying onto my chest. "It's a long story... I'm just glad you're alright...."
A.) Nanoha
B.) Fate
Hayate is having douts, I think the apple was poisoned.
My parents and the new girl came into my room and closed the door for some privacy. My dad motioned towards the short female beside him and made the introductions for me. "Nanoha," He started. "This is Yagami Hayate, she just joined our youth group at church. Hayate, this is my daughter, Nanoha."

A.) Nanoha
B.) Fate
So Hayate was going to poison Nanoha? Bad girl ^^
Well then I vote for B.
Welcome new ones

So now we know what's wrong with Nanoha! Hayate was going to poison her! But it looks like she's on their side. Geez, what did Hayate do to Fate? B

"You won't die unless you don't follow our orders. Take your pills twice a day and the shots twice a week. Doing so will ensure your body doesn't shut down."
I suddenly got a little annoyed. "My body is getting used to your pills! I'm making myself sick by taking so many!"
The man kept his cool and gave me a moment to calm down before speaking again. "I know... I'm sorry, but this is all we can do... If it gets any worse, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to stay in the hospital indefinetly."
I felt my throat get tight. I knew Lupis was serious but... Being bedridden indefinetly!? No...
My mom gave me a hug. "Don't worry, Sweetie..."
I shook my head. "I'm fine. Really. I'll be okay." The doctor nodded at my father and got one in return. Taking my mother's hand, he went outside with them, probably to talk about finances. As if we wern't broke enough as it is...
"So," Hayate sat down next to me and I blushed, having forgotten that she was even there. "Do you go through this often?"
I smiled lightly. "They think I'm made of glass, I'll be just fine."
"That's good," She laughed lightly and looked down at her hands. "Um... The youth group were going to get you a fruit basket but they were out...so..." She blushed and took out a shiny apply from her purse. "I picked this up on the way, shall I peel it for you?"
"I like the peel, but I wouldn't mine if you cut it?" I smiled at the thoughtful move.
Hayate nodded and took out a pocket knife. "Don't worry, it's clean." It flipped out smoothly and she slowly started quartering it. "So, Lupis was it?"
I nodded. "Mmn. It basically slowly destroys your body. I mainly have lung problems and weak muscles. In a nutshell it means my body breaks apart from the inside out."
"That's so sad..." She fumbled in her coring and looked down, almost as if she were upset.
"Don't worry, I'll be okay." I shook my head. "Lupis is serious but I'm taking medicine for it...though I think my parents are having a really hard time paying..." Sighing, I looked at my sheet covered lap. I used to think about just giving up but... I met Fate-chan. She's a really sweet girl, I saw her out in hte hallway, did you talk to her?"
"Ah, um," Hayate looked at her project and started turning the quarters into eighths. "I talked briefly to her..."
I nodded. "Yeah... She's special I guess you could say. She made me want to keep trying."
"...She must really mean something to you, huh?" Hayate sounded rather sad.
"Yeah... Oh, I'm sorry, we just met and I'm rambling on and on!" I smiled at her. "Tell me something about yourself? We could be good friends, I think."
Hayate opened her mouth to say something but then closed it, looking at the food she was holding. "Right now... I'm not really sure."
"Hm?" I pried gently, giving her a choice to continue or change the subject.
Hayate looked over at me once more. "Have you ever questioned what you were doing? Like something you've done all your life only to doubt it later?"
"I have." I don't know what was bothering this cute shortie of a girl but I felt like she needed some cheering up, more so than me. "My religion. I was taught the same thing all my life, but once I was out in hte world and could think for myself... I realized that what I was told wasn't always the truth. I guess you could say that asking questions and doubting things can give you an opertunity to find out what you really want for yourself."
The girl looked at me for a long time before standing. "I'm sorry, Nanoha, I need to go. I just remembered that the doctor said not to feed you anything." She dumped the sliced apple into her purse unceremoniously and quickly walked to the door. Her hand paused at the knob and she turned to look back at me. "Oh, I forgot. Fate-chan said something about going to a bar tongiht... could you tell her I'd like to meet her there?"
I nodded at her curiously. "Sure. It was nice meeting you."
"You too." She smiled at me and left the room.
Leaning back in my bed, I chewed on her words. The doctor never said anything about giving me food, I wonder what was-
Fate burst into the door and stormed over to me, black smears littering her torn and burnt clothing, smelling strangely of gasoline. "Fate-chan!?"
"Nanoha!" Fate looked at me seriously. "Did you eat anything!?"
"N-no?" I sank back, a little scared at her snarling and panicked voice.
"Nothing? Anything at all!? A piece of gum, a drink, anything!?"
I shook my head, "No, Hayate-chan was doing an apple for me but she decided not to give it and-"
"Oh thank god," Fate fell on me and hugged me close. "I was so worried!"
"Worried?" I awkwardly pet the girl. "FAte-chan, what happened to you?"
She held me closer and sniffed, almost crying onto my chest. "It's a long story... I'm just glad you're alright...."
Was it just me or did anyone else have images of Snow White Nanoha and Wicked Witch Hayate floating around when reading about the 'bad apple'?
Well, this confirmed the signs about Nanoha's illness getting worse, but I also thought the doc was a bit insensitive lol. His words were a little bit frosty towards a patient with a life threatening disease. Cold professionalism?
My parents and the new girl came into my room and closed the door for some privacy. My dad motioned towards the short female beside him and made the introductions for me. "Nanoha," He started. "This is Yagami Hayate, she just joined our youth group at church. Hayate, this is my daughter, Nanoha."
"Pleased to meet you." Hayate spoke to me a little nervously, bowing down.
"Have we... met before?" I looked at her harder, wracking my brain to place it. I know I've seen her... but it's so foggy!
"Ahaha... I've come in your bakery before."
Oh, was that it? I nodded at her and was about to say something along the lines of welcome to our church group but my doctor chose that time to come back in the room. "Hello, Nanoha. How are you feeling?"
"Fine," I replied just like always.
The man gave me a look and I knew right then that I wasn't about to enjoy the next part. He glanced at Hayate and then my father, who nodded. I didn't mind, all of the church knew about me, and she was here to wish me well anyway... "WEll," The man continued. "I'm sorry to say that Nanoha's condition has worsened..."
"I'm fine," I interrupted meekly, but was ignored.
"Her lungs are starting to get weak... have you had trouble breathing lately?"
I thought back to my few coughing spells and spitting up blood a few days ago. "No," I lied.
"Nanoha." My mom's voice made me look down sadly.
"... A little." I spoke again, voice soft.
The doctor continued. "Have you had any blood in your mouth?" The corners of my lips twitched lightly at one reply I could have given to that, but instead I simply nodded. "I see... As I told your parents, I want to increase your medication... Also, you will need to increase the frequency of your liquid medicin."
"not more shots," I groaned.
"I'm sorry. Just twice a week now." He sighed. "Nanoha... This is your health, you must take it seriously."
I nodded sadly. "I know, I don't need to be reminded I'm dieing."
"You won't die unless you don't follow our orders. Take your pills twice a day and the shots twice a week. Doing so will ensure your body doesn't shut down."

"So," Hayate sat down next to me and I blushed, having forgotten that she was even there. "Do you go through this often?"
I smiled lightly. "They think I'm made of glass, I'll be just fine."
"That's good," She laughed lightly and looked down at her hands. "Um... The youth group were going to get you a fruit basket but they were out...so..." She blushed and took out a shiny apply from her purse. "I picked this up on the way, shall I peel it for you?"

She held me closer and sniffed, almost crying onto my chest. "It's a long story... I'm just glad you're alright...."
I hopped off my bike and looked around the area sharply before making my way past the long line of people waiting to get into the club known as the Roxburry. The bouncer stepped infront of me to block my path but after I gave him a smile he stepped back and made a small minute long conversation with me before I was allowed in.
The music was loud, as always, and the place seemed to be rather packed tonight. I guess they let in more than they should have. Hope a fire marshal isn't around anywhere...
I made my way to the bar and noticed a short girl sitting on a stool with a vacant on next to her. Short brown hair was slightly visible coming from her floppy white hat and between the collar of her white leather trench coat.
Nanoha had told me everything about what happened with the girl and I was slightly confused by it. Signum had told me that Nanoha was going to be poisoned but it seems that the girl couldn't go through with it. Adding in the details from our last encounter, I was interested in what the woman had to say.
I sat down next to her and felt her look at me. At first I had thought that she made people leave me a seat open by sending death glares to them but it turns out, judging by her embarrassed look, that she had probably been asking them politely to save the seat for her friend.
Alton came up to me and gave me a glass of whiskey with a few ice cubes and nodded at me. I nodded back and brought the glass to my lips and sipped it. "You wanted to see me?" I asked casually, making her nervous. This was probably her first meeting with someone she was supposed to fight against.
"Yes." She nodded and took a drink of her daiquiri, smacking her lips. I couldn't help a small giggle come from my throat and she blushed darkly. "Shut up."
"I didn't say anything." I turned and leaned against the bar and looked out on the danceclub. "You have guts coming to my hunting ground."
"This place is the source for many vampires."
"Only me and the idiots," I countered her. "The smart ones leave this place alone."
"...I see..." Hayate looked down and I got the vibe that I had just told her something that countered what she was told previously.
"Why didn't you do your job?"
Hayate kept facing the bar and stared into her drink. "She's a human..."
"They told you to kill her while Signum killed me, didn't they?"
"How did you know?"
"You just told me." I couldn't frown, despite the grim words. "This is two times you have spared her." She stayed silent and took another drink. She tried not to make any indication that she wasn't used to alcohol but her plan failed when she coughed slightly. "How long," I wondered. "Have you been a paladin?"
"All my life."
"Then why do you suck at it so much?"
She turned and glared at me and I once again noticed that she didn't have any fear in her eyes. "I'm not going to kill humans, just vampire scum!"
"Am I scum?" My voice softened and I turned to look at her. "I just want to live and take care of Nanoha."
"You just want her blood."
"I don't drink from her." Her eyes widened slightly before narrowing again. "She's really sick, I hate the taste."
"Then why-"
"Because she's special." I cut her off and took another drink. "I'm pretty sure I know what you've been told. Not all Vampires are like that, but most are. Blindly hunting and killing makes you no better than a murderer."
"I don't-"
"I know." I grinned at her startled face. "You're different."
She looked at me a moment and then sighed. "I want to ask you something."
"Yes?"
Hayate stayed silent a moment more. "If I told you I was assigned to kill you, what would you say?"
"That you were sent to die, just like Tia."
She nodded softly. "I get the same feeling somehow." Hayate's shoulders sagged. "But why...?"
"I don't know," I finished the glass and sat it on the counter, along with a few hundred dollar bills to take care of my tab. "Your drinks tonight are on me."
"But-"
"Hayate," I faced her and reached over to fix her crooked collar under her trench coat. "Find what you want in life and do it. Just because you are a paladin doesn't mean you need to throw your life away needlessly." I smiled at her.
Hayate's face reddened and she swallowed thickly, trying to still her beating heart.
~**~
NAnoha opened her eyes slowly and looked at me after a few moments. "Hey there," I greeted her softly. "Good morning."
She smiled and yawned. "I had the strangest dream last night."
"Oh?"
"Yeah..." Nanoha sat up in her hospital bed and rubbed her eyes. "There were lots of little girls with huge guns and buffaloes everywhere."
"Buffaloes?" I blinked.
"Mmn. Buffaloes."
I felt her forehead. "MAybe you're taking too many meds..."
Nanoha giggled. "They've been in my dreams since I was little."

I felt her forehead. "MAybe you're taking too many meds..."
Nanoha giggled. "They've been in my dreams since I was little."
I gave her a light chuckle. "Weirdo."
A.) Nanoha
B.) Fate
So Fate was fighting Siginum, that explains the sliced and burnt clothing.
I hopped off my bike and looked around the area sharply before making my way past the long line of people waiting to get into the club known as the Roxburry. The bouncer stepped infront of me to block my path but after I gave him a smile he stepped back and made a small minute long conversation with me before I was allowed in.
The music was loud, as always, and the place seemed to be rather packed tonight. I guess they let in more than they should have. Hope a fire marshal isn't around anywhere...
I made my way to the bar and noticed a short girl sitting on a stool with a vacant on next to her. Short brown hair was slightly visible coming from her floppy white hat and between the collar of her white leather trench coat.
Nanoha had told me everything about what happened with the girl and I was slightly confused by it. Signum had told me that Nanoha was going to be poisoned but it seems that the girl couldn't go through with it. Adding in the details from our last encounter, I was interested in what the woman had to say.
I sat down next to her and felt her look at me. At first I had thought that she made people leave me a seat open by sending death glares to them but it turns out, judging by her embarrassed look, that she had probably been asking them politely to save the seat for her friend.
Alton came up to me and gave me a glass of whiskey with a few ice cubes and nodded at me. I nodded back and brought the glass to my lips and sipped it. "You wanted to see me?" I asked casually, making her nervous. This was probably her first meeting with someone she was supposed to fight against.
"Yes." She nodded and took a drink of her daiquiri, smacking her lips. I couldn't help a small giggle come from my throat and she blushed darkly. "Shut up."
"I didn't say anything." I turned and leaned against the bar and looked out on the danceclub. "You have guts coming to my hunting ground."
"This place is the source for many vampires."
"Only me and the idiots," I countered her. "The smart ones leave this place alone."
"...I see..." Hayate looked down and I got the vibe that I had just told her something that countered what she was told previously.
"Why didn't you do your job?"
Hayate kept facing the bar and stared into her drink. "She's a human..."
"They told you to kill her while Signum killed me, didn't they?"
"How did you know?"
"You just told me." I couldn't frown, despite the grim words. "This is two times you have spared her." She stayed silent and took another drink. She tried not to make any indication that she wasn't used to alcohol but her plan failed when she coughed slightly. "How long," I wondered. "Have you been a paladin?"
"All my life."
"Then why do you suck at it so much?"
She turned and glared at me and I once again noticed that she didn't have any fear in her eyes. "I'm not going to kill humans, just vampire scum!"
"Am I scum?" My voice softened and I turned to look at her. "I just want to live and take care of Nanoha."
"You just want her blood."
"I don't drink from her." Her eyes widened slightly before narrowing again. "She's really sick, I hate the taste."
"Then why-"
"Because she's special." I cut her off and took another drink. "I'm pretty sure I know what you've been told. Not all Vampires are like that, but most are. Blindly hunting and killing makes you no better than a murderer."
"I don't-"
"I know." I grinned at her startled face. "You're different."
She looked at me a moment and then sighed. "I want to ask you something."
"Yes?"
Hayate stayed silent a moment more. "If I told you I was assigned to kill you, what would you say?"
"That you were sent to die, just like Tia."
She nodded softly. "I get the same feeling somehow." Hayate's shoulders sagged. "But why...?"
"I don't know," I finished the glass and sat it on the counter, along with a few hundred dollar bills to take care of my tab. "Your drinks tonight are on me."
"But-"
"Hayate," I faced her and reached over to fix her crooked collar under her trench coat. "Find what you want in life and do it. Just because you are a paladin doesn't mean you need to throw your life away needlessly." I smiled at her.
Hayate's face reddened and she swallowed thickly, trying to still her beating heart.
~**~
NAnoha opened her eyes slowly and looked at me after a few moments. "Hey there," I greeted her softly. "Good morning."
She smiled and yawned. "I had the strangest dream last night."
"Oh?"
"Yeah..." Nanoha sat up in her hospital bed and rubbed her eyes. "There were lots of little girls with huge guns and buffaloes everywhere."
"Buffaloes?" I blinked.
"Mmn. Buffaloes."
I felt her forehead. "MAybe you're taking too many meds..."
Nanoha giggled. "They've been in my dreams since I was little."
I gave her a light chuckle. "Weirdo."

Though Hayate can be quite wicked sometimes. In a good way...
