A Changing
Disclaimer: I do not own Prétear! burst out crying
Chapter 1: The Switch
"Beyondios," Shin cried, setting the shield up around the demon larva. Himeno was in a prêt with Hayate and looking confident as she flew in the sir, searching for the core. She quickly found it and, while the other Leafe Knights distracted it, she sliced at the larva. As the core broke, she touched down. Without disengaging from the prêt, she went to each of her Knights.
"Well, I think that was the last of the stranglers," she said cheerfully as Takako came out of the woods. The former Princess of Disaster didn't mind seeing her demons dying as she saw cut from them now. Sasame immediately went over to her and draped a comforting arm around her slim shoulders. Himeno repressed a flood of emotion at the slight gesture of affection for she knew that Hayate could feel her feelings and would surely tease her about it.
It was about a year since Fernir became Takako and Himeno had become the White Prétear and the seven Leafe Knights tried to rid the world of the demon larvae that Takako had planted when she was Fernir. Sasame and Takako could barely be separated but the other Knights didn't have any relationships. None of them seemed to want one. Himeno sighed. Feeling the light blew strips on her costume flutter on her cheek, she let Hayate remove himself.
Suddenly she felt a pulling sensation and saw a mix of swirling colors before feeling the solid ground again. She was on the ground. I must have fainted, she thought as she pulled her self up. She looked down slightly and saw a pink haired person beside her. Wha- she thought before another voice cut into her thoughts. "What happened!" Her voice.
"I don't know," she murmured, but Hayate's voice came out of her mouth. She clapped her hands to her mouth as the looked down at herself. It looked weird seeing herself from another person's eyes. She shook her head and felt her hair move with the movements. She reached a hand back and felt Hayate's talisman. She then noticed the blue bangs in her eyes. She nearly yelped as she stumbled back.
"Hey, Hayate, are you alright?" Sasame asked looking concerned. Himeno nearly jumped when she heard her own reply again. "Yeah, I'm fine," before her hands clasped around her mouth. Himeno expected to feel the touch of her skin but she noticed that she hadn't moved. She poked at her body, "Um, Hayate?" she asked but heard Hayate's deep voice coming from her mouth, "Do you know what happened?"
"Himeno?" she started when she heard her own voice again. It felt very odd, hearing her voice but not from her own mouth. She felt someone prod her. "Is that you?" she voice came again. She nodded and felt her long hair sway.
"Um, guys?" Goh cut in, looking from "Himeno" to "Hayate", "Would you mind filling us in?"
