Fragile Princess
Yayoi had been begging to see Himeno's new home almost since Himeno moved in. Himeno tried everything that she could think of to detour Yayoi from the massive cold home. This sadden Yayoi a little bit. "Himeno, do you really want to keep me out of your house this much?" the overly dramatic 16 year old started to cry." I thought we were best friends." Himeno tried to calm here friend "WAIT! You've got the wrong idea!" she began "There are just some worlds you are better off not knowing about." This sparked the overly imaginative mind of Himeno's best friend. "You mean like a haunted house, or a ninja's house, or a home of a Yakuza step mother, how about like the Earth's defense force?" Yayoi went on and on Himeno was unable to stop her. 'I guess she REALLY wants to go.' Himeno thought to herself. Along the way Himeno tried to get Yayoi sidetracked so they would not arrive at the Pre'tear's home. But alas everything Himeno tried failed to work.
The mousey haired teen was shocked at the shear size of the Awayuki estate. Yayoi was amazed at all the beauty she saw. Oh, how Yayoi would love to life here. "It's just like being Cinderella." Hearts shined in Yayoi's eyes. Himeno turned to her friend as Yayoi went on about how wonderful it must be to live in such a nice house with all of these servants. Himeno knew all too well that once Yayoi starts on one of her romantic stories it was near impossible to stop her. Yayoi went on and on how Himeno was like a fairy princess living in a large castle with seven knights sworn to protect her. Himeno could not help but feel a little envious of Yayoi's normal life. The young woman changed into the clothes that the maid brought out to her. "Are you surprised at all this, Yayoi?" Yayoi nodded "I heard that your step mom was rich… But Himeno, it's like you are a princess now." "I feel so secluded here." Yayoi's looked shocked at Himeno's confession. "Himeno, what do mean?" Himeno went on about all of the servants, the schedules, and the lack of family warmth. "In all honesty I would rather have a normal life then this one, Yayoi." The brunette paused before she could answer "You? A normal girl?" She tried to lighten the mood "You could never be that." Himeno smiled at the ignorant bliss her friend had. "My goodness, is that the time? I have to go now. Good night Himeno, see you at school tomorrow." Yayoi ran out of the estate and Himeno waved to her friend. "See you tomorrow."
Himeno returned to her room and shut the door. "As I figured, it is not something I could explain to some one." Himeno sighed and walked out to her balcony lost in her thoughts. She was so lost in her thoughts that at first she didn't even notice the red snow falling. "The snow… it's red!" This shocked the Princess. "She must be making her move… To plant seeds, and steal Leafe, the source of all life." Himeno looked over the edge of her balcony. "It must be starting again." She whispered. "When the Leafe is gone, everything will lapse in silence. There won't be any living creatures, no light, no water, not even heat. Complete and utter death… and the one who will cause this." She paused from her ethereal whisper "The Princess of Disaster." She said out loud. She was interrupted by her Leafe Knights. "We protect the Leafe from her. The Light that could pierce the darkness." "Kei!" Himeno looked at the Knight of Light. "And I will blow her away with my Fire!" the fire knight posed "Go!" Himeno turned her attention to the Knight of Fire. "Don't get too hot-headed or you'll start a blaze!" Himeno was startled by the small Ice Knight "Mannon!" Himeno next placed her attention on to the Water Knight. "The Water is drying up." The Knight of Water sighed. "Hajime!" Himeno felt a tug on her skirt by the youngest knight "Please help us. Himeno! Hurry!" The small Plant Knight squeaked. "Shin!" Shin sat in a large flower bloom and had it rise up so he could give the sweet Pre'tear a flower which was completely out of Leafe. "How horrible." Himeno said as she looked at the poor dead flower. Her thought was interrupted by the Knight of Sound "We need your power to destroy the Princess of Disaster." "Sasame" She breathed. "Will you fight along with us again, Himeno?" The sound knight continued. His speech was cut short by the moody Knight of Wind "Even if you complain, we are going to make you do it." Himeno gulped at this and turned her hear to see the Wind Knight. "You are the best weapon we have with against the Princess of Disaster. You are the only one who can create new Leafe." "Hayate!" Himeno gasped. "The White Princess who can purify the red snow. The Pre'tear." Hayate breathed. Himeno return to her train of thought before she was interrupted by the red snow. 'This is why I could never be a normal girl.' Hayate noticed that Himeno was preoccupied in her thoughts. "Himeno lets go." He looked at her.
