Mannen, Hajime, and Shin played outside the mansion that belonged to Himeno's stepmother when Goh appeared in front of them. Goh looked nervous and worried. "What's wrong?" Mannen asked running up to Goh. "What happened?"
"No time to explain. Go up to Himeno's room. I have to go get Sasame and Kei. Hayate is already there." With is last finally words Goh left.
"What happened to Himeno? Is she okay?" asked a sad little Shin. Tears had already formed and were preparing to fall from his eyes.
Hajime hated to lie to Shin, but he hated a crying Shin more. "She's okay. I'm sure it's nothing. Let's just get up to her room, and find out. The three boys entered the mansion keeping an eye out for the old baldy butler man. Finally reaching Himeno's room, they slowly opened the door, and poked their three heads in.
"Who's there?" Before the boys could answer Hayate was already opening the door the rest of the way to answer his question. "Oh. It's your three. Hurry up and get in here. You're letting in a draft."
"Well, Hayate. What's up? Why are we here?" asked Mannen moving out of the doorway along with a following Hajime and Shin.
Hajime looked up at Hayate. "Yea. Is Himeno alright?"
Shin stood right beside Hajime. "Yea, is Himeno okay?"
Hayate turned quickly towards the bed, and started walking towards it. "Lets wait for everyone to arrive." Moments later everyone of the Leafe Knights were present.
Kei looked extremely pissed to be pulled out of worked, and Sasame just stood for a second, till noticing, "hey, where's Himeno? If what you have to tell us is so important shouldn't se be here."
Goh looked at Hayate. "Actually, what we have to tell you is about her."
"All the more reason for her to be here." snapped Kei.
"She can't." All the Leafe Knights, excluding Goh, looked at Hayate after his comment.
Shin pulled on Hayate's sleeve, "what do you mean Himeno can't?"
Goh sighed, "she's ill. She's at the hospital unconscious, and the doctors don't know what's wrong with her."
Mannen ran up to Goh, and grabbed the front of his shirt. "Damn Goh. How do you know? What happened? You were supposed to watch her today. What the hell happened to her?"
"MANNEN!" At the sudden outburst from Hayate, Mannen let go, and seat on the floor. "Don't go blaming Goh. Nobody knows what's wrong."
Sasame gazed at Hayate. "What do you mean nobody knows what's wrong? Hayate, just tell us what happened."
Hayate took a seat upon the bed. The bed was nicely made, and everyone took a seat somewhere within the room for Hayate's story. "Well, it started with my shift to watch her. She woke up as usual, and said good morning to her mother's plants. It was only a few minutes later that Himeno started gradually looking tired, and depressed. I thought she just a had the flu or something so I didn't give any heed to it.
At the breakfast table, Himeno was looking pale so I made the suggestion that Himeno should stay home from school. But Himeno wouldn't hear of it. She still got ready, her sisters left without her, and she again ended up walking to school."
Goh leaned forward and started his part. "So, it was turn to watch her. I followed her to school, got accused of being a stalker, and had rocks thrown at me by these kids."
Mannen raised his hand. "Sorry Goh. That was kinda us. Why didn't know it was you honestly."
"Why you little -"
"Goh. Mannen. Calm down. Continuing, Himeno got home from school and was exhausted. But she kept mumbling on about having things to do, and homework. She was watering her plants when her father called her to his art room. I entered the room just before she did to help out her father. He checked her head to find she had a fever. As he was leading her out to take her to bed, she started falling over. I caught her. Her body was hot all over. Every inch. So her father and stepmother took her to the emergency room. I received a call from him a few minutes before Goh went to get you. She's unconscious and will be staying there for a while."
Hajime this time raised his hand. "Wait a second. With her in the hospital, what are we supposed to do about our Pretear?"
"Well, that's why I had Goh obtain each of you so we can discuss this."
Sasame was still gazing at Hayate. "Now Hayate. You know we can't do anything against the Princess of Darkness."
"I know. But there still has to be another way. We can't just sit around here while here while the Princess of Darkness steals all of the leafe from this world."
"Hayate, you know as well as I do that, that's all we can do."
"Yea. I know."
