Hey this is my 1st Pretear fic so bare with me!
Chapter One-
The Princess
Her redish-brown hair blows silently in the wind as she pouts on her balcony. Her father, Kaoru Awayuki, had just married the Queen of the land. Now she was living the life of luxury as Princess Awayuki...or Princess Himeno. Though she had everything any girl could want, she wasnt happy.
Before her father remarried, they had lived in the less fortunate part of town and had very little money. Only then had she been truely happy. She and her father were so close...but now, The Queen seemed to have changed her life, her father punished her for every little thing and her step-mother seem to brain wash him.
Her life had been slowly but surely falling to pieces before now...this just sped up the process,alot. She looked out over the castles extenive lands and sighed. 'Why is this happening to me? Why not someone more...worthy?' she thought wearily.
"Man, I wish I had someone to talk to besides Mawata and Mayune. Neither of them seem very fond of me..." She mused aloud.
"Gawd, She sure is a weird one. Shin are you sure its her?" Himeno heard from somewhere above her.
"W-whos there?" she screeched as she looked all around...not one thing could have said that.
"Hello?" Himeno continued tosearch though she was sure there was nothing there.
"I think she heard us Hayate." Said the voice of a little boy.
"Nonsense. She's to stupid." Said another voice...she then relized they were coing from the roof.
Quickly and quietly Himeno climbed up onto the rail of her balcony and peeked over the edge of the roof. There she saw A man with deep blue hair and deep blue eyes the color of the night sky and a little boy with short blonde her and bright green eyes. Both were wearing strange clothes.
"W-who are YOU?" Himeno lost her balance and fell from the railing. She was tumbling down 3 stories when the man with blue hair grabbed her hand. The next few moments were going by in flashes of light.
The next thing Himeno knew she was hovering a few feet above the ground in a deep blue mini skirt and a white tank top.
"W-what happened to me? Where's that guy? AND HOW AM I FLYING?" she was screaming and yelling.
"Will you shut up?" She heard a voice in her head.
"Where are you?"
"Just concentrate on seperating!"
"Seerating what?"
"The leafe"
"The what!"
"Nevermind, just think about stopping the wind."
Himeno gave a look of pure bewilderment but did as she was told.
Next thing she knew she was in her old outfit again and she landed with a thud on the hard ground.
"Ouch!" She looked up and saw a small boy sitting in a flowere next the the man in blue.
"What happened? Who are you?" She had so many questions but she decided it would be better if she just asked a few.
"Ok now that I know for a fact that you are indeed the one we were looking for, Who are you? What is your name?" The man in the blue tried to force out what he wanted.
"Now now Hayate. Dont you know not to be rude to women?" A man wearing red flew down from the sky and hovered next to the an called Hayate," Hello there beauty, Im Go. Im the Leafe Knight of Warmth. Leafe Knights protect Leafe, the base of all life." Go finished as another younger boy flew down.
"Hiya! Im Mannen the Leafe Knight of Cold!"He has icey blue hair and deep eyes. Another younger boy flew down and joined them.
"'Ello! Im Hajime! The Leafe Knight of Water." Hajime has red hair and deep green eyes. Yet another 2 Knight joined, one had white hair and the other had blonde.
The blonde spoke up," Im Kei, The Leafe Knight of Light and this is Sasame the Leafe Knight of Sound." He pointed to the white haired guy.
Himeno blushed deeply and turned so she could see them all. 'Wow they are all so hot.' she thought to herself.
Then Hayate said," You are the Pretear." Hereyes opened wide and she was starring at her ceiling.
"Oh! I must have fallen asleep." she glanced at her clock," THE RECEPTION!" Himeno jumped out of bed and began to get ready.
When she was done she looked at herself in the mirror. She had fixed her hair in a high ponytail and had a diamond ponytail holder. She had put on her mothers pearl neckalace, and the dress she wore was an off-the-shoulder pale blue with a connected halter top. She wore matching shoes. She was quite beautiful.
As she walked down the stairwell she noticed a puddle of what looked like honey on a lower step and a thin string that looked like fishing line streatched over it.
Nearby there was a giggle...Mayune. Mr. Tanaka began to walk down the stairs with a box of what looked like wine glasses. He passed Himeno and...
Mayune jumped out from behind a nearby statue and pointed and laughed. "Ha ha Himeno I got you thiis time." She didnt relized Himeno was standing right behind her.
"Mayune?" Himeno said just above a whisper. Her step sister turned around with a dumb look on her face.
"If youre there then whos...?"Mayune and Himeno turned to see Mr. Tanaka rolling down the remaining stair with each step he touched another glass broke.
Himeno turned to laugh at Mayune and relized she was gone. Making her way down the stairs, she entered the living room and her father was standing there awaiting her arrival along with her new step mother...the queen.
" AH the new Princess has finally arrived." Said Queen Natsue coldly,"Mayune has told me of the little prank you pulled on poor Mr. Tanaka just a few minutes ago." Mayune was smirking behind her.
"ME!"Himeno was furious,"She's the one who tried to pull it on me!" Natsue gave her a doubtful look.
"Himeno, I cant allow you to attend our reception. I was astounded that you would pull such a stunt but to blame it on another!" Natsue sent her away and Himeno cursed under her breathe. Until she fell into a restless slumber.
Himeno sat on the roof and all of the sudden she was surrounded by the 'Leafe Knights'
"Not You Again" she cried.
"Yes us."they chanted together,"But this time we wont be so nice."
They lunged for her, she dodge screaming and then she fell a sudden coldness touch her skin. Mannen stood behind her, his eyes glowing red.
"NO!" She screeched...No!
She was almost instantly afterwards blown off the roof by the strong winds emmiting from Hayate.
She screamed right before she landed headfirst on the sidewalk below her balocny.
She awoke screaming, hot fat tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Wow, that was weirds." She rolled out of bed and slouched over to the closet. she pulled on a deep blue halter top and matching mini with thigh high matching boots.
She slouched down to breakfast and slumped over in her seat.
"Himeno. I have though of a suitible punishment. You will be a maid for a week." Natsue smiled as she entered the dining room.
"WHat?"Himeno acted devstated, though it didnt seem the bad.
She was to go and change immeadiatly. When she was done the black and white maid uniform they all wore seem transformed by her beauty.
She instantly went to work cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, and all the stuff a maid does.
After about 2 hours of 'punishment', the door bell rang and Himeno was the first to answer it.
"Hello, Welcome to Awayuki Castle, may I help you?" She recited the line perfectly and the person spoke. She had been keeping her eyes closed, as she was told to do...
Flashback
Your are to recit this if you answer the door, and remeber keep you eyes closed until it is absolutly nessecary, you should not torture people with such hideous eyes.
Natsue had ordered.
End Flashbach
"Yes is Himeno Awayuki there?" Asked a familiar voice.
Himeno's eyes opened and she recognized the man before her. The thing she dreaded finally came. Terror was building up inside her as he asked a most unwanted question.
