Theme 1: Homework

Himeno yawned. It was 2 am in the morning and she had to be up by 6:30 am for school. She looked down at her math assignment. It looked like back at her with an empty face. She frowned at the first question.

"He calls this easy? That man is more problematic than a demon larvae with quadratic tentacles flying at me!"

Himeno grumbled. Life was just great. As if family and school life wasn't hard enough to deal with, she had to deal with being a Pretear too. Not to mention also that stuck-up, arrogant, good looking bully of a Wind Knight. Homework just kept piling up on her. She sighed and ate a cookie as an energy booster before tackling her last sheet of homework for the night…err morning.

Her clock clicked 2:30 am. Himeno was face flat on her math assignment, drooling all over the third question. At least she wasn't snoring.

"Why do I have to take care of the tuliphead?" Hayate freely entered her room through her large open balcony windows. "Doesn't even bother to lock up at night. Just asking to be eaten by a demon larvae," he scowled.

Kei assigned him the night shift…again. Not that Hayate really minded, but he and Sasame were the only ones available to watch over her at night and he didn't want the Sound Knight watching over Himeno. That guy was just too nice and sweet on her. Hayate had been sitting quietly outside on the balcony until he heard a loud thud coming from inside her room.

"Does she really think she can be our Pretear? Can't even finish her homework."

Hayate watched as Himeno tossed her head around on the desktop. He sighed as he went over to gently picked her off her seat and carry her in his arms over to her bed. He tucked her in her bed and returned to her desk. With the help of his wind, he dried the poor math paper.

"I might as well help her out." Hayate sat in her small chair and started finishing her homework.

After all…she is my assignment. Curse that Kei.

Author's Notes: Completely inspired by my inability to stay awake and finish all my homework. Not to mention I needed to vent out some steam for my stupidity in updating my other ficlet. Replacing a chapter does not count as an update XoX.
