Blood That Flows

"It's not funny." Vita grumbled as she sat at the table not long after the events in the bedroom, eating some chocolate. "I feel gross and yucky and I want to break something, but then I want to go and cry and... HOW DO YOU PUT UP WITH THIS?!" She had been given the option of pads or tampons, and well, the way tampons were set up quite frankly freaked her out.
Signum sighed, wishing that she had disappeared when Zafira did. "It's worse for your first time. Shamal and I have to deal with it every month."
Vita groaned and banged her head on the table. "UGH! I don't like this! Make it stop!"
Shamal smiled softly as she gave Vita some tea. "Just drink this and the midol, it'll help."
Vita groaned as she did that. "How do people put up with this!?"
"If you don't stop yelling, I'll show you how." Signum got up from the table. "When you've calmed down a touch, I say you come with me to the gym."
"Why?" Vita looked in confusion as Signum smirked softly.
"Because they've got punching bags."
Hayate stumbled into the kitchen on shaky legs and watched as Signum and Vita left the house. "Is Vita-chan going to be okay?"
Shamal nodded at her. "Oh yes, it's just hard for her right now. First times aren't easy for anyone."
Hayate thought back to what Vita went through and looked at Shamal. "Do... Will I go through that too?"
"Sooner or later, yes." Shamal nodded at her. "All girls normally do."
Hayate grimaced, that didn't sound like fun.

Days later...
"Well, I have good news." Lindy smiled as she looked at Lina and her family. "It took some time, but I'm happy to announce that we might have found your home world, Lina."
"Really?" Lina chuckled as Lindy nodded.
"Well, I can't say we found it for sure, but I think we did. We'll need you to come with to find out for sure."
Lina grimaced slightly as she thought about what was needed to do before she could go on a trip. "I need to get things set up at the shop first, and we need to pack and..."
Lindy laughed and waved Lina's concerns down. "Don't worry, I understand. There's no rush. Take your time."
"Thank you." Lina smiled, to be honest, the thought of going home was making her incredibly nervous and excited.
She wondered how things had changed since she left.

She wondered how things had changed since she left.
Yep. The price of truly being alive, to enjoy the good and bad bits of life, like aging and other things.
On the case of Hayate and Reinforce, however its rather undetermined, as Hayate and Reinforce were changed both, AND became linked to the Golden Sea. They may have not been affected enough by the Golden Sea's power, or they may have become "something else", undetectable by the TSAB magic, but to the senses of a Mazoku/Ryuuzoku/Shinzoku would be as clear as day...
This brings us also to Lina and Nanoha.
Lina still looks like on her prime, and on a few years more we may start to see that unlike her husband, she isn't aging, or it ages to a far slower ratio than normal. On the case of Nanoha, she gestated with that power permeating her being from her very conception. While she's right now aging at a normal rate, things will possibly show themselves as Nanoha reaches adulthood...
Isn't actually that difficult, as the Wolkenritter went with regularity to harvest magic-capable beasts to fill the book into other dimensions. Shamal has such spell on her repertoire.
The main problem of Lina until now, its simply that she knew next to nothing of dimensional magic and transportation. Add, that unlike the way of the TSAB to travel, she did the "travel" AFTER sinking into the Golden Sea itself....the mystical equivalent of a Russian Roulette, but with 9 of 10 slots filled with armed Buster Machine III. If she survived that, its only because the LoN its awfully partial for her, or it knows something bout Lina....

It shouldn't be too difficult for Lina to retain her age.
Look at Rezo. He's Zelgadis' great-grandfather and he's really doesn't look his age. However it may be due to the piece of Ruby Eye in him.
Speaking of Zelgadis, his chimera transformation is said to slow his aging as well.
And on the subject of growing up, Amelia probably looks more like Naga now.

The issue for Lina and possibly Nanoha isn't to retain their ages, but that very possibly, even if they wanted it, they CAN'T age. That may sound nice at the start, but would be funny, after your friends, family, and your very society and culture as you knew it its gone, as the inexorable march of time keeps going forward?
Three days later...
"Are you sure, Kyouya?" Shiro looked at his son as he nodded to him.
"Yeah, someone needs to watch the shop while you're out. Plus, well..." His face got slightly flushed and Shiro shook his head. Young love, it was a joy and a pain at the same time.
"Alright, if something happens, don't hesitate to use that number and call the ship."
Kyouya looked at the phone number dubiously. "I really don't think that it works that way."
Shiro shrugged, he didn't either. "They can call from across the universe on normal cell phones, I'm pretty sure that they can pick up phone calls in another universe."
"I still say that it doesn't work, but..." He shrugged and put the number in his pocket. "You know that there won't be too many problems." He smirked at his father. "If there are any, I'll just tell them that Nanoha would be upset." He still didn't know why all the fighting stopped when Nanoha stuck her head in, but he was glad for it.
Shiro laughed as he walked out the room with a suit case in hand. Standing just outside the door with a few bags of clothing, Lina had insisted on very little clothing, stating that it would just slow most of them down. But then Lindy had stated that they could just transport any clothing that they needed down to them, making the argument a moot point.
"Why isn't Miyuki-nee coming with?" Nanoha looked at Lina, who shook her head.
"She wanted to spend some time with Fiasse before her friend went on a quick tour." Not to mention that Fiasse had asked Miyuki to be a bodyguard, but it wasn't for too long, but she was going to miss the trip this time. Lina cleared her throat and looked at the group. "Where's Arf?" She looked at Fate, who blushed slightly.
"Right here!" The wolf girl jumped out of the tree to show off her new form. "See! I'm new and compact, even in human form." She took a pose, standing there in a white tank top and blue shorts.
Nanoha giggled at Arf's current body. "What's with that look?"
"Easier to go clothes shopping for!" Arf giggled at Nanoha. "Besides, it draws less attention than my adult mode does." Plus it didn't consume as much of Fate's magic, and considering what she had heard of Lina's home world, she wanted to make sure that Fate had as much magic as possible. After all, what would happen if one of those Mazoku-things showed up again?
"Alright, alright, so, if everyone's ready..." Lina smiled as they all nodded, she flipped open her cell phone and pushed a couple of buttons. "Lindy, here we go."
A flash of light and Kyouya watched as his family disappeared. "Have fun." He muttered to the open air.
(---)
Nanoha trembled softly as the ship came out of its dimensional transport. "That... Didn't feel good." Her whole body felt like something was surrounding her and squeezing her.
Lina looked at her in concern, but when Nanoha shook her head, she turned back to the screen as a world came into focus. Her eyes went a bit out of focus for a moment. "Well, anyway..." She narrowed her eyes and pointed to a rather large peninsula. "Focus in on that area there."
Amy nodded as the screen zoomed in on the area in question. "Look familiar?"
Looking at the display, Lina nodded, albeit hesitantly. "Maybe, but my memory's a little fuzzy..." She pointed to a place near the center on the map and Amy zoomed in on it. "That's it! Seiryuun!"
"So, this is your home world?" Fate asked as she looked at the display.
"Yep!" Lina grinned as she looked at the map. "Zoom out a little, go... here." She pointed at a place to the north and east of the first place and grinned as it zoomed in. "That's where I was born." She tapped her chin and pointed at a lake a few kilometers out of town. "Drop us off there."
"You sure?" Amy looked at her in confusion and Lina nodded.
"Yeah, I don't want to scare my mom and dad too much." Hell, if they were still alive, they'd probably have heart attacks just from seeing her alive. "Plus I need to do some testing."
"Testing?" Amy blinked as Lina winked at her.
"Don't worry, just drop us off there." She walked to the teleporter as Amy nodded.
(---)
Shiro shook his head as he materialized on the ground. "And you people do this all the time?" He asked Chrono while he felt the hilt of his sword. He knew it wouldn't be very good against those Mazoku things, but against any bandits or normal threats? Well, he wasn't the best in his clan for nothing.
"You get used to it pretty easily." Chrono nodded and looked around, before gawking at Lina. "What's with that cloak?"
Lina had a light brown cloak over her shoulders, completely with a hood over her head and a mask over her face. "Let's just say that it's best not to scare everyone right away. If I walked around as I am, people might think I'm a Mazoku or something, but first." She looked at the water and held up her hand. "Dynast Breath!" She grinned as a pillar of ice appeared in the lake. "So, he's still alive... Zelas Brid!" Energy tendrils appeared around the pillar of ice, slowly chipping it away. "Great, if she's still alive, so is the fruitcake, I bet. And now..." Lina slapped her open palm against the water. "Dolph Zork!" A torpedo of energy rushed into the pillar, making it explode. "Huh? So those three are still alive, and I'm sure that Ruby-Eyes is still alive."
"What was that for?" Chrono asked her as he and the others watched with interest.
Grinning under her mask, Lina walked up to him and flicked him on the forehead. "Just testing. Black magic needs a source, those three spells draw upon three different Mazoku Lords."
"Lords?!" Nanoha gasped, looking around and Lina sighed heavily. "They're going to be like Death Bringer and torture me and try to..."
"Nanoha!" Yuuno grabbed her shoulders. "Come on, calm down."
"But, there's three beings like that Death Bringer guy and they're all really strong and Chrono-kun doesn't have any Jewel Seeds this time and I might just..."
"Nanoha!" Lina put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look up at her mother. "For one thing, Shabranigdo's in several fragments, not in one spot like Death Bringer thought about Chaotic Blue. Secondly, as nasty as Mazoku can get, the Lords tend to stay out of human affairs unless it can directly benefit them. So, unless you're a fragment of Shabranigdo, which you're not, they'll probably just ignore you." Lina knew that she, on the other hand, was more likely to catch their attention, especially now that she was back. "Besides, there are actually Gods and Dragons running around here, there's more for them to do around here, okay?"
Nanoha nodded, though she was still shaky.
Lina shook her head as she looked at the rest of the group. "Well, we won't find anything just standing around here, let's head to Zephilia, you can meet my mom, dad and sister."
The group nodded and started following Lina, though Shiro made sure to walk by Nanoha and squeeze her shoulder.
"Dad?" Nanoha looked up at him. "...Is it okay to be scared?"
He nodded at her. "Your mother won't say anything, but she's scared too. She wants to see her family again, she's worried how they'll take her now, and she's scared for you."
"She is?" Nanoha blinked as he nodded and knelt down while the others went ahead.
"Yeah, your mother worries about you so much after what happened to you." Heck, after those events on Mid-Childa, Lina was a nervous wreck, always checking on Nanoha every couple of hours, just to make sure that she was okay and not screaming out in terror and pain all the time. "So, she's just putting on a brave front for you, you need to do the same for her, okay? Your friends will make sure nothing happens to you."
Nanoha smiled and hugged Shiro. "Thanks, dad."
"HEY!" Arf yelled back at them. "Move it or lose it!"
"Coming!" Nanoha yelled as she turned and ran towards the small girl, Shrio following right after her.
"Are you sure, Kyouya?" Shiro looked at his son as he nodded to him.
"Yeah, someone needs to watch the shop while you're out. Plus, well..." His face got slightly flushed and Shiro shook his head. Young love, it was a joy and a pain at the same time.

I wonder if Lina's going to have to make a... withdrawal. It's not like they can convert yen to gold coins easily.
Besides, bandit gangs were on the verge of extinction when Lina was traveling. Without Lina, bandits probably made some sort of recovery in the interveining years. (She resorted to hunting pirates in REVOLUTION after all.)
Either way, we should have at least one random encounter so they can build an appetite and have an excuse for ordering a extra large meal.

.....I wouldn't be so sure. Consider Shiro and Lina's "career" through Japan and the rest of Asia, until they settled down. Add, that Shiro, as the last of the Fuuwa clan, has quite the array of contacts, even to the level of the Chrysanthemum Throne itself. Make yourself two questions.
-HOW Lina got an identity created on Japan that its fool-proof?
-From where she took the Takamichi surname?
-How they got from Mr Tanaka all the legal papers ready to be signed so soon for Fate?
If anything, i can see Lina beating and leaving alive the bandits on the road to Zephelia, and taking the riches as her impromptu "Midori-ya Coffee Shop Improvement&Enlargement Fund" and for a likely vacation&nookie trip to the Caribbean for their next wedding anniversary. Heck, i can see Shiro, Lina, Nanoha and Fate having a very......eclectic competition for who can beat more bandits on less time......

First. Shiro's clan name was Fuuwa. Second, its a Nanoha-verse fact that Shiro took the surname of his wife in order to hide. Its more than likely that the Takamichi name was granted or created by an influential member of the cabinet or someone on high standing on the imperial family, in order to let Shiro's family live on peace. Add, the likely "services rendered" when the pregnant Lina proceeded to do "scorched Earth" upon the assassin group that almost killed Shirou?
And about the issue of Lina becoming a baker? i do i need to remind you of Luna, a waitress, slightly older than Lina, and yet she was the freakin' Knight of Ceifeed? Or you have the guts to laugh to Lina, considering that she STILL can blow your hide six ways to hell and back?

Luna was the terror that could not be mentioned in the Slayers series, with Lina being on record as going to extremes to avoid someone who came across as a harmless waitress to most people.
... In other words. If you underestimate the humble labourer, you never know when the humble labourer might turn out to be a level 20 wizard/warrior that will turn the universe inside out to kick your butt from the other side of the world.

Lina turned back and smiled as her daughter and husband hurried up and caught up to them. "I wonder..." She trailed off and blinked as her group was suddenly surrounded by people in various tattoos, ratty clothing, unkempt hair and short blades. "You have got to be kidding me."
"Give us any goods ya got on ya!" The one in front of her, obviously the leader advanced on the group and waving his weapon threateningly at the group.
"Better put that away before you hurt someone." Lina said dryly as he took a step forward.
"You bitch!" He raised his weapon up as he tried to strike her.
A flash of blades later and the man found himself on his butt, his hand bleeding and his dagger in pieces around him as Shiro stood above him, his sword sticking out as he looked down with narrowed eyes that promised extreme pain to the bandit.
The leader looked at Shiro with a mix of anger and fear. "GET 'EM!"
"Hey, mom, we're done here." Nanoha spoke up and the leader gasped as he saw all his men covered in pink, yellow, orange, green and blue chains and wraps.
"What, is it Christmas?" Lina chuckled and looked at the leader. "Now then... As you can see, we're not harmless travelers." A sphere of fire appeared in the palm of her hand. "It's been a long time since I've killed a bandit." Seeing the man's eyes widen and water up, Lina smirked, not that anyone could see it. "But, I MIGHT be willing to let you go... If I was feeling nice."
"Dammit!" The bandit leader groaned as the sphere of fire got bigger. "And we all thought it would be safe to be bandits again since that Bandit Killer died!"
The fire gutted out and Lina knelt down to look him in the eye. "Tell me more."
"W, well, word got out that the Bandit Killer, Lina Inverse, died awhile ago and without her running around, it's been a golden age for Bandits!"
"How long ago was this?"
"How should I know?!" The man screamed out. "Last I heard about her, Seiryuun was having a giant funeral for her."
Lina frowned behind her mask. "...Wait, that means she didn't die that long ago." Something about this wasn't right. "Come on, we should get to Zephilia." She turned to her group, and they nodded to her.
"Hey, mom..." Fate asked softly as they moved towards the city in question. "What about them?" She pointed to the bound up bandits, before pouting as the leader of the group started to run off.
"Huh, forgot about them..." She shrugged at Fate. "Eh, leave them for now."
"What about the one who's running away?" Yuuno asked her.
"Nanoha... Why don't you..."
"On it!" Nanoha giggled as she called out Raising Heart to shooting mode. "Divine Flame Buster!" A white-hot gout of flame erupted from the tip of her staff, racing towards the fleeing bandit.
As the spell connected with the bandit, Chrono sweat-dropped at the explosion. "Don't you think that was a bit much?"
"Don't worry!" Nanoha grinned at him as Raising Heart became a gem again. "I had it on stun."
"A Divine Flame Buster with a stun setting?" Yuuno sweat-dropped as Nanoha laughed, rubbed the back of her head and stuck her tongue out. "Nanoha!"
"Hey! It could happen."
"Give us any goods ya got on ya!" The one in front of her, obviously the leader advanced on the group and waving his weapon threateningly at the group.
"Better put that away before you hurt someone." Lina said dryly as he took a step forward.

"What, is it Christmas?" Lina chuckled and looked at the leader. "Now then... As you can see, we're not harmless travelers." A sphere of fire appeared in the palm of her hand. "It's been a long time since I've killed a bandit." Seeing the man's eyes widen and water up, Lina smirked, not that anyone could see it. "But, I MIGHT be willing to let you go... If I was feeling nice."
"Dammit!" The bandit leader groaned as the sphere of fire got bigger. "And we all thought it would be safe to be bandits again since that Bandit Killer died!"
The fire gutted out and Lina knelt down to look him in the eye. "Tell me more."
"W, well, word got out that the Bandit Killer, Lina Inverse, died awhile ago and without her running around, it's been a golden age for Bandits!"
"How long ago was this?"
"How should I know?!" The man screamed out. "Last I heard about her, Seiryuun was having a giant funeral for her."
Lina frowned behind her mask. "...Wait, that means she didn't die that long ago." Something about this wasn't right. "Come on, we should get to Zephilia." She turned to her group, and they nodded to her.
"Hey, mom..." Fate asked softly as they moved towards the city in question. "What about them?" She pointed to the bound up bandits, before pouting as the leader of the group started to run off.
"Huh, forgot about them..." She shrugged at Fate. "Eh, leave them for now."
"What about the one who's running away?" Yuuno asked her.
"Nanoha... Why don't you..."
"On it!" Nanoha giggled as she called out Raising Heart to shooting mode. "Divine Flame Buster!" A white-hot gout of flame erupted from the tip of her staff, racing towards the fleeing bandit.
As the spell connected with the bandit, Chrono sweat-dropped at the explosion. "Don't you think that was a bit much?"
"Don't worry!" Nanoha grinned at him as Raising Heart became a gem again. "I had it on stun."
"A Divine Flame Buster with a stun setting?" Yuuno sweat-dropped as Nanoha laughed, rubbed the back of her head and stuck her tongue out. "Nanoha!"
"Hey! It could happen."
Errr, i think that Xelloss on this case its on one HELL of a Catch-22.
For one side, he REALLY doesn't wishes to be right now on the immediate area to where Lina's friends and family, specially LUNA, the Knight of Ceifeed, likely are mourning her decease, and also are with a "Mazoku-RIP/BURN/KILL grudge" state on their minds right now. Xelloss may enjoy havoc, destruction and to annoy the fuck outta humans, but even him ain't THAT suicidal.
However, more than likely, every Mazoku Lord alive, must have felt the inter-dimensional barriers being pierced, and sent either one of their highest servants to find the new source of chaotic power that appeared on their world, and those same servants are likely trailing the residues of that power moving..JUST towards Zephilia, and then to Sailune. Guess WHO will be sent by Beastmaster Zelas to check the new "arrivals" to their plane?
