Author's Note: Another story I dug up on my HD, written 6 years ago. I'm pretty sure nobody ever writes about Hein...it's time she deserves some love.
She had never known love. Integrity, honor, loyalty, and respect were all that she had been taught. But her love for him could have grown from these ideals. She saw his devotion. She saw his pains and his sorrow. She saw through him. She knew his every thought. It was such a foreign feeling, the first time she realized this strange emotion. Perhaps it was his stubbornness, or maybe it was his kindness. Whatever it was, it opened the door and out flowed all her hidden emotions. She knew his heart belonged to another, but she was determined to tell him before they all perish with the world and its foolishness…
"Daisuke-sama?"
"Yes, Hein?"
"I…" she hesitated at the sound of his voice. Perhaps she shouldn't, for he will only worry about her. "…Never mind, it's nothing."
"Are you alright?" His concern for her touched her deep inside. A tear emerged at the edge of her eyelids as she tried her hardest to fight it back.
"Yes," she managed a smile, "Thank you."
