Sasame walks up to Himeno and asks, "That voice you heard on the street, what was it saying to you?" Go says, "Hey it's a little soon to ask her that isn't it?" Kei puts in, "To tell the truth, I think now would be the best time. Because the sooner we know what this person wants the sooner we can deal with it."
Himeno walks over to the fountain with the others and then sits down. Sasame asks again, "What was the voice asking you?" Himeno hugged herself as she said, "It was the same voice I heard in my dream last night. In my dream I was walking threw a forest while it was snowing and then this creature comes out of no-where and says 'hello to me then asks Or do you prefer… White Pre'tear. He continued, "Yes, I know very well who you are and what you do. I'll give this one chance and this one only…" He paused then said, "Stop being The Pre'tear or die. Which is it?' He read my mind and then he said, "Then die!" The a swarm of dragonflies came and where ever they touched me turned to ash." Himeno started to shake as she said, I-I have a feeling that won't be the last time I see it."
Mannen jumps and says, "You won't if I have a say in it!" Shin and Hajume adds, "Ya, Ya!" She smiles at them and said, "Thank you." And give then a hug. Hayate then says, "Go back to bed, you'll need your rest." Himeno gives a nod and starts to walk off. She almost tumbles into the rose bush because she got light headed and then tripped over a rock. Sasame was the first one at her side and asked, "Are you alright?" Himeno sat up and said, "I'll be fine, I just have to take my time is all. Heh, heh!" Hayate walked up to her and said, "Idiot! You can barely walk and you still won't ask for help. So I'll carry you tulip head." Then he picks her up and floats up to her room.
On the way up Himeno was yelling, "I can walk you know! And my name is Himeno not tulip head!!!!!" Hayate smirks at her and says, "Your name may be Himeno, but you're still my tulip head." She blushes and looks away. When they got inside the room, Himeno quickly kissed Hayate on the cheek and ran to hide under her blanket. Hayate stood there for a moment then floated back down to every one else.
Go asks, "Hey Hayate, what's the matter? Looks like you got a sunburn." Hayate quickly said, "N-nothing! I'm going for a walk." Then walked away. Go said, "What ever happened just now wasn't nothing." Kei adds, "He is acting strange and now Hayate's acting jumpy as well when ever he comes from Himeno's room." Sasame gives a chuckle and it was loud enough for every one else to hear. So Go asks, "What's so funny?" Sasame answers, "Nothing." Then he walks off. Go yells out, "What the hell?! Why won't any one answer me straight?!!" Mannen smirks and says, "Maybe it's because you're too annoying." Go picks up Mannen and gives him a noogie as he says, "Now what's that suppose to mean, you little brat?!" Kei tells Go, "Stop that you two! You're both acting like infants!" Go pointed at Mannen and Mannen at Go as they said in unison, "He started it!" Kei replied angrily, "I don't who started it! Stop it or I'll finish it!" So then they shut up.
As Hayate was walking, he thought about what happened in Himeno's bedroom. Then shook his head and said," I should be worrying about other things besides of this! Ugh!" Then Sasame suddenly appeared and asked with a smirk, "Having trouble?" Hayate retorts, "No, I'm fine!" Hayate walks faster but Sasame kept up with him the whole time. Then Hayate stopped, turned around and asked, "Why are you following me?!" Sasame answered, "Simple. I came to help you with Himeno." Hayate said, "I don't need help." Sasame reminded, "Well with that Kyo guy you may need some." Hayate looked down and said in a low voice, "Maybe you're right." Sasame gave him a pat on the shoulder as he said, "Don't worry, just tell her how you feel and when you go see her bring a bouquet of flowers, not tulips. Try a half a dozen roses. The best thing to do is to let her be herself and don't look at her as the Pre'tear, but as a person." Hayate said, "But how can that help me beat Kyo?!" Sasame smiled and said, "Relax and just try it."
So Hayate left Sasame and went to a near by flower shop and bought six long stemmed roses. Then he headed for The Awayuki residence. As Hayate was walking up top the front door, he saw Kyo walking up with a bouquet of tulips. So they both rang the doorbell and Takako opened the door and said, "Hello, Hayate. Himeno is up in her room right now, you know where it is." He replied, "Thanks." Then headed there.
Then Takako looked at the front door again and saw Kyo and asked, "Excuse me Sir, but who are you?" Kyo smiled and answered, "I'm an old friend of Himeno's. I came to see how she was doing. May I come in?" Takako let him in and when he passed her, she felt strange and looked back at the boy. She mumbled to her self, "I better tell Sasame about this."
Then she ran out to the pond where Himeno always meets the other Leafe Knights. Takako called out, "Sasame! Sasame!! I need to tell you something!" Sasame came over and asked, "What's wrong Takako?!" She answered, "I think that Kyo boy maybe in league with the demons." Kei asked, "What? How can that be?" Takako continued, "When he walked by to see Himeno, I got the strange feeling like he Hated some one to the core of his being. And Himeno maybe in serious danger…"
Back in Himeno's room Hayate stepped inside and called in, "Himeno? I'm coming in." And when he stepped in he saw Kyo carrying the unconscious Himeno. Hayate dropped the flowers, transformed and said, "Put her down!" Kyo levitated her over the balcony side and said, "Very well then." Then laughed as her dropped her! Hayate quickly teleported to the ground outside Himeno's room and caught her. Kyo indicated, "Well looks like my revenge will have to wait a little while longer… Oh and don't worry Hayate she will die. You and the rest of the Knights will be watching helplessly as I kill her!" Then disappeared.
A few seconds later, Himeno wakes up to Hayate holding her and asks, "Hayate? What's going on? What happened?" Hayate quickly made a story that would be believe able for her so he says, "Uh, you were sleep walking and jumped off the balcony for some reason and a I teleported down from your room caught you." She blushes slightly and replies, "I'm sorry for being such a burden to you." Hayate argued, "You never were, I have a present for you up stairs." She smiles and sighed, "Thank you, for everything." Then she rested her head on Hayate's shoulder has he flew them back onto the balcony.
When they are in the room Himeno saw the roses on the ground and inquired, "Are those for me?" Hayate gave a nod and blew the bouquet into Himeno's hand. She put her face in the roses and inhaled the wonderful sent. Himeno looked over to Hayate and says, "Thank you, Hayate. I love it." In such a beautiful tone that it was like form an angle. He looks away and replies, "I was by the flower shop earlier and thought you might like them so I…" Himeno giggled and said, "Well you don't have to explain how you got them, but I'm glad you did. Because now I feel a little better now."
Then the rest of the Leafe Knights appeared and said, "Hey Himeno!" Himeno greeted back, "Hi every one!" Shin walks up and gives Himeno a picture and says, "Wow, how pretty! Thank you Shin!" Hajume gives her an angle fish and says, "Here Himeno! This fish reminds me of you." Mannen sneers, "What do me by that? The looks?" Go hit him in the head and said, "Quit being a smart ass!" Hajume explains, "Because Himeno's so nice to us that she must be an angle sent form heaven!" She blushes and says "thank you Hajume that was very kind of you…" Then she kissed him on the forehead. Mannen Hands her a card and disappears from the room. Himeno was baffled and asked, "Did I do something wrong???" Kei clarified it for her, "This is the first time Mannen ever gave something to some and he's worried that you wouldn't like it." Himeno smiled and replied, I guess every one can feel that way about their first gift giving." Then she opened Mannen's card that read:
Dear Himeno, I hope you get better soon so we can hang out together again.
-Sighed, Mannen Leafe Knight of freeze
Himeno smiled and said aloud, "That was very kind of him." Hayate looked over his shoulder and outside he saw Mannen peeking his head around the balcony smiling. Then Kei, Go, and Sasame gave their 'get well' gifts to Himeno. From Go was a certificate for a free meal at the restraint. Kei gave Himeno a video game he created called Pre'tear. Sasame gave Himeno two presents, one was from him the other was form Takako. The one from Takako was a small necklace that said her name, the one from Sasame was a snow globe with the Tokyo tower in it. She said thank you and then walked out on the balcony.
The thoughts going through her mind were "What's this feeling I can't say I've had it before and yet I have. What's going on I don't know what's happening anymore!" Himeno looked back and saw Hayate talking with the other Knights. Then something hit her, a feeling she's had before. It was a demon larva she felt. Himeno cried out, "Demon larva!!! It's over in Awayuki Park!" She preated with Hayate and flew off towards the park.
Once they arrived at the park the demon larva had already sucked half of the park's Leafe. Shin quickly put up the barrier, so they could fight. Himeno located the core and destroyed it but then something strange happened afterward. A person who looked like a shadow said, "Himeno you have changed in so many ways that I can't count." She said, "I don't know you! So how could you know me?!" He replied, "I'm hurt, could you really forget me Himeno?" Then he took off the shadow and showed her who he was. Himeno cried, "Kyo?! You but why?!"
Kyo answered, "When your dad got remarried, you guys left with so much as a note telling me where you went. The next thing a find out is that you're living the big life with guys all around you and that you're a super hero." Himeno tried to walk towards him but he just attacked her. Go grabbed Himeno before she got hit with the attack.
Kyo yelled at her, "Don't get near me! Don't you dare get near me Awayuki! It's your fault that my mom died in that fight you had! She was already sick and had a heart condition, But when she saw you on the TV fighting those monsters with your guy friends her heart stopped! She thought of you as her daughter, did you know that? Then my drunken father beats me telling me it's my fault she died! But when I told him how she died he said for my to marry you so he could have more cash to spend on booze."
Himeno looked down at her feet then looked at him with teary eyes saying, "Yeah, your right, it was my fault that your mom died, looks like I killed my mom and yours." Kyo looked at me and said, "What do you mean by 'mine and yours?" Himeno depreated from Hayate and walked over towards Kyo while saying, "You asked me how my mom died and I never knew, till a few months ago. So you still want to know how my mom died?"
He didn't say any thing but he gave a nod in agreement. So Himeno said, "My mom was very kind hearted and gentle, but her body was weak too weak to have kids. Then she found out she was going to have me and was determined to have me no matter what. So when the day came form me to be born, my mom had me and I was fine but, she died having me. It was my fault she died! Do you have any idea how hard that must be for some one that they were responsible for killing your own mom?!" Kyo looked away and said, "I'm sorry for what happened, but I still won't forgive you for what happened!" Himeno smiled up at him and said, "I didn't expect you to. So go ahead, kill me. I had fun and helped people while I could. I saved Takako and brought back Sasame. I even found my happiness with someone. But I think it's time I go see mom."
