For Love or Fame

Chapter 1: The meeting

The lights bright on a single girl with eyes to match her soft, pink hair, her white dress looking as if it is glowing; the crowd is wonder by her beauty, and even more her angelic voice. Music plays in the back ground for a moment before she begins to sing.

"And in your eyes I see ribbons color,

I see us inside of each other

I feel my conscience merge with yours

And I hear a voice say what's his is hers.

I'm falling into you

This dream could come true

And it feels so good

Falling into you

I was afraid to let you in here

Now I have learned love can be made into fear

The walls begin to tumble down

And I can't even see the ground

I'm falling into you

This dream could come true

And it feels so good

Falling into you

Falling like a leaf

Falling like a star

Finding out the need

Falling where you are

Catch me don't let me drop

Love me don't ever stop…"

The music continues without her for it's solo. A man in the back of a crowded room watches and listens to the young maiden sing. Amused, he can not take his eyes away from her. Thoughts of her run through his mind. He wonders why he can not break the spell her soft singing puts on him, but yet he does not want to break it. The music's solo comes to an end and she continues to sing.

"So close your eyes and let me kiss you

And while you sleep I will miss you

Oh I'm falling into you

This dream could come true

And it feels so good

Falling into you

Falling like a leaf

Falling like a star

Oh oh ho, finding out the need

Falling into you

Falling into you

Yeah."

At the end of the show the audience applauds, then get up and slowly walk out of the doors. One man stays behind in the empty theater to talk to the young singer. Walking up onto the stage he makes his way to the back. "Excuse me, miss." He says to the young woman. She turns on her heels to see who it is that speaks to her.

"Y-yes?" she says with a nervous smile afraid it might be a fan.

"I just wondered if you wouldn't mind talking for a moment."

"Hm, not at all Mr…um…" She says wondering what he wants to speak with her for and who he is, but something about this strange man relaxes her.

"Oh, sorry my name is Hayate." He says with a little laugh, that he forgot to introduce himself.

"Nice to meet you my name is Himeno Awayuki, but you probably already knew that. Now what is it you wanted to talk about?" Himeno sits and motions for him to sit in the chair next to hers.

"I just want to say that you sang beautifully, but that's not what I wanted to talk about exactly. I feel like I know you from some where, or rather that I have known you for a long time, but I know that its not from hearing your name, or seeing a picture, or even reading about you in a magazine. I feel like you and I have talked in person. I know it must all sound completely absurd, but it's the truth I swear!" Hayate defended himself with a look that seemed to be serious and that he was pained.

Himeno starts to giggle. "I feel the same way." She said so as to calm him down. "I feel as if I've seen you before, and talked to you in person like this before now as well. And thank you for the complement." She smiles at as she gets up. "Um… would you like to go out for a drink, coffee or something else?"

"How about coffee, 'cause you're probably not old enough for alcohol." He said with a raised eye brow. When did Himeno start to drink? Hayate thought to himself.

"You're correct, but I didn't necessarily mean alcohol. I just meant whatever you would like to go get to drink. By the way I am eight-teen years old." Himeno went to change from her lacey, white dress. When she came out she was wearing a light blue and white dress that hung down just above her knees, and a headband to match. "Shall we go?" She smiles at him.

"O-okay. Let's go then." He said a little surprised by the excitement in her voice. They left the theater laughing and talking. They walked down the side walk, "Hayate, uh… after we get the coffee would you mind… w-would you mind walking me home?" She asked him sounding a little depressed. Hayate looked at her with confusion.

"Uh… sure. I don't mind. I'll walk you home, Himeno." He sighed silently when he heard the tone in her voice. It hurt him to hear her depressed.

"Hm… i-it's just because I'm always just a little lonely on the way home from the theater." There was a pause for a moment. "Oh!" She gasped noticing she had let herself talk too much. She looked at Hatate, he looked worried. "I-I… I don't mean to sound desperate! I don't want to worry you! Oh, what am I going to do with myself?" she said with a nervous giggle.

"Don't worry. I understand what you mean. All people get lonely at times. Even I get lonely… after I lost y… after I lost my love I was lonely all the time. I never even got to tell her that I loved her." Hayate told her to comfort her, gaining her interest in his story.

"What happened to her?" Himeno spoke up from next to him.

"Well… you see… she lost her memory. She had hit her head on the cement when she was knocked to the ground, she didn't remember anyone except for her own family and friends. She had forgotten seven people. Our close friends 21year old Goh, 17year old Kei, and the three children 9year old Mannen, 7year old Hajime, and little Shin the six year old, and me of course. I'm 23 years old and my loved one is 18 years old. We were aloud to be together because her father trusted me, and he still does trust me. Hm… I bet you think that it's stupid to be caught up on something like that." He smiled reminiscing.

"Hmm… I don't think that it's stupid at all. Thanks for telling me your story." She smiled at him. They walked into Himeno's favorite coffee shop and stood in line. When they got their coffee they headed toward her family's large mansion. On the way they talk about themselves to each other. They turned the corner to the Awayuki home, and stopped just before the large rot-iron gate. "Um… well thank you for walking home. I had a nice time talking to you. Hayate, would you like to go do something tomorrow?" She asked him with a nervous look on her face as if in fear of a decline.

"Okay, that way we can get to know each other more, sounds good to me. How about I come over tomorrow and pick you up? Then we can go to the movies or where ever you would like, okay?"

"Okay, that sounds good! I'll see you tomorrow, bye!" She gave a large grin and waved as she disappeared behind the iron gates. Hayate waved then turn to walk back toward his home in the city.

Himeno saw an ambulance and several police cars at the mansion, she panicked. Sasame came up to her trying to keep her from going inside. "Onii-chan! What's going on? Why are there police here is any one hurt?" Himeno yelled in fright.

"Himeno you can't go inside! Your mother and father have been shot, they are dead. You two sisters are now dead as well, they were suffocated." Her 'best friend' regrettably told her. It didn't help ease the pain of having lost so many people that were very close to her.

"What! No why? Why did all of this have to happen to me?" Her voice cracked as she fell to her knees, crying hot, painful tears. "Is everyone truly gone, Sasame?" She said looking up at him teary eyed.

"Yes, I sorry. I truly am. You aren't alone. You can come and stay with me, okay" he tried to comfort the devastated Himeno. She cries harder as time passes. "Himeno, it's going to be okay. It's going to be okay I promise you. It will be oka…"

"NO, ITS NOT! It's not going to be okay. So shut-up! Just shut-up Sasame!" Himeno interrupted him and ran off the property.
