Author's note: This is my first Pretear fanfic, so I hope it's not too bad and I don't own Pretear, of course. Heh, wouldn't that be nice.
Warning: This fic contains yaoi (male/male relationships), so I don't want to hear it if you don't like that stuff and read this story anyway.
This takes place after that day when Sasame took Takako to Leafeania and was turned into her dark servant. A product of what my mind did with the world and characters of Pretear after that point in the story. Be afraid.

"Sasame, did you think of me all this time?"
"Yes, even now."
"Sasame, if what you are saying is true, you should be willing and able to give me proof of your love. You must kill Hayate. If you'll do that, then I can finally believe that you truly love me."
'Is this… what I want? Do I want her to return my love this much? …I'll do this for you, Takako. I will abandon everything I've lived for, for you.'
"Why do you wait! …I think it's about time you tell me how you really feel. If you have any desire what so ever of being a leafe knight in your heart then kill me right now. If it's true that you love me, if you really do love me at all, then kill! Kill Hayate!"
'Why am I waiting? I love Takako. I want more then anything to prove it to her. Then why… is this so hard? I can't stand that look in his eyes. It's almost… mocking.
He knows I can't do it. I can't kill him. But how does he? Why do you look so sure Hayate?' I suddenly feel sick. '…because, he knows… I-'

"What's wrong, Sasame?" her voice shakes me from my thoughts of that day that still seemed so fresh in my mind even though it was weeks ago.
"…you don't miss them, do you?" I shake my head. A lie. I miss all of the leafe knights. I miss Himeno. I haven't seen any of them, though I'm somewhat grateful. I know if I did, it would be under Takako's orders. And I wouldn't be there for 'catching up with friends'.
She smiles at me in a knowing, and somewhat disappointed way. "…I need to rest, do what ever you wish." And without another word she is gone, and I am alone in the old church.
I lay back, resting on the wooden bench and close my eyes. My memory drifts and takes me back to the days when we were searching for the new pretear after Takako had changed into the princess of disaster. Hayate, Kei, Goh, and I were worried that we would never find the pretear. It didn't help that three of the leafe knights had to be reborn either. But… during that time, I had somehow managed the courage to tell Hayate how I felt about him…
"…is that so?" he asked quietly, those deep blue pools still admiring the sunset. I looked away, a deep blush staining my cheeks as I nodded. "…you know that is against the rules." I nodded again.
Funny, I've never been good at following rules… but now thinking back on it… that night… is probably what started all of this mess. The reason I couldn't kill Hayate a few weeks ago… and would still be unable to now, if Takako asked it of me again.

Ok, short beginning chapter but I just want to get some opinions before I continue. Reviews would be greatly appreciated and if you feel that you must flame me, I'm sure you have a good reason to, so go ahead. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
