Chapter Four

Himeno creaked open her bedroom doors and lets Hayate walk in first.

"Look who it is!" Someone familiar was on her bed with two other people sitting on the floor tuning in for Sasame's radio show to come on.

"Takako, what are you doing here?"

"I should be asking that Hayate." His face beamed bright red..

"I-I-I-I-I only came here to listen on with Sasame's show."

Himeno closed the last door and went over to turn up the radio. "Anyways... how'd you all get in my room?"

"Key sister, I used the bedroom key," Mayune waved the key around in the air.

"How exactly did you get that?"

"Tanaka, who else?"

Eyeing Hayate down, Mayune smelled something familiar in the air. "Hayate, did you happen to use the shower?"

He nodded,"Why yes.."

Giving him a sly smile she continued, "And did you happen to use Himeno's shampoo and soap?" Hayate gasped and then flamed over in embarrassment.

"Did you, Hayate," Himeno took a whiff of his hair which made him abnormally dark red. "Ooh, look who's getting red," Takako teased.

"I'm..I'm just probably getting hot that's all.."

"Oh! It must be too hot in this room, let me go turn down the AC." Himeno waltzed out of the room in no suspicion whatsoever while Takako gave him a look and Mawata just sighed.

"You are lucky my sister is thick headed," Mayune face-palmed. "Wha," was all Hayate could answer.

"You are going to have to make your move before someone else sweeps her off of her feet. She's not going to wait forever.."

"Feh, what are you talking about?"

"Hayate," Takako began. "You can't lie to us, we saw you, and I even knew long before."

"Wha... how?"

"Just the way you were so over protective."

"I'm always like that..."

"But mainly around Himeno," Mayune gave him a mischievous smile. Hayate was getting uncomfortable and angry, he knew he couldn't win this argument, because he knew that all of it was true. Every single little detail about his affections towards Himeno was true.

"You know you can't win this argument Hayate," Takako said quietly but loud enough to where Hayate could hear her, because she could hear Himeno running back up to the room.

Himeno popped back in the room all cheery. "Hey guys, I'm back!"

"Welcome back Himeno," Mawata smiled.

"Glad to be back!"

"So Himeno...," Mawata smirked.

"Hmm?" Himeno smiled happily while closing the door behind her. She continued to her closet and took something off of the top shelf. "I'm still listening," Himeno continued to hum cheerfully.

"So who did you make those Valentine Chocolates for?" Then Himeno dropped the item she had on her hand and her body turned a new shade of red.

She started to panic and laugh in an awkward way and she constantly started rubbing the back of her head. "I-I don't know what you're talking a-about."

Hayate still standing in the room, was curious enough to know about the Valentine's Day chocolates Himeno was going wacky over. He mainly wanted to know who the dead meat... I mean lucky guy is. "You know Himeno, the ones that you spent the whole afternoon making yesterday? The one's that are at the top shelf of your closet," Takako eyed the main target down.

Himeno looked like she was about to have a cardiac arrest when she looked up to see a red box with a white bow sitting exactly on the shelf of her closet. She shoved her closet doors closed and kicked the box she dropped earlier under the bed. Sweat was pouring like crazy down her face. "N-nothings there! There aren't any chocolates up there. Nope, nu uh, I don't know what you're talking about."

"I just saw them. It was a red box with a white bow tied in to a shape of a flower," Mawata sang mischievously.

Himeno scowled at her younger step-sister's amusement. Mawata, Mayune, and Takako knew exactly who those chocolates were made for, and since he was standing in the room with them.. might as well tease her a bit.

"Like I asked before Himeno," Mayune smiled as she sat up on the bed.

"Who are you giving those chocolates to," Takako continued. Everyone's attention flew over to Himeno, who was standing there nervously. She then walked over in defeat and threw herself on the bed. "You know you can sit down at my desk Hayate."

"Oh okay." Hayate pulled the desk chair out and sat with out a problem.

"So?"

"He's someone I know...," Himeno sighed.

"Oooh, does he go to school with us?"

"No..no he already seems a few years too old for school." She tried not to make it too obvious.

'So the guy she likes is a little older than her,' Hayate felt a little jealousy run through his veins. "Do we know him," Takako asked.

"Yeah.. of course."

'They all know him and I don't,' he was starting to get angry. "Is it... one of the knights," Mayune giggled. Himeno hesitated to speak the answer, because she was afraid Hayate would figure it all out on his own. He wasn't that dumb at all for being the leader of the Leafe knights.

Hayate really didn't want to know the answer to that at all. If she were to say 'yes', that would mean that either Kei, Sasame, Goh, or himself were to be the prospective person, or if she were to say 'no', it wouldn't be him at all.

'Please don't answer Himeno. I'm begging you..' Himeno really couldn't spill out the truth or Hayate would catch on way too quickly for her to plan out everything.

So she had to lie,"No..."

His heart sank in to his stomach, but he tried not to show as Sasame's Wordgate came up on the radio. "Turn it up Hayate," Takako spoke up.

Raising the volume up more for everyone to hear, Sasame's sweet, cool voice tumbled through the air as if it was a nice melody to sing to.

With an introduction and a lot of questions and answers, the thoughts going through Mawata's head was how slick Himeno was to lie about the Valentine's Day chocolates.

Some of Mawata's questions and answers were through the broadcasts and some of them were from Takako and Yayoi. Mainly from Yayoi, because she wanted to know some advice on romance. Not too surprising there if I must say. Not just the girls and Hayate were listening on to the broadcast; Goh was listening at the cafe, Kei was listening in his office, Mannen, Shin, and Hajime were listening from the hallway stairs with a little radio at hand, and Kaoru and Natsue were listening from the work room. Everyone was listening to the broadcast and there was no one left out.

The broadcast was nearing to an end and Takako was smiling in her head through on through. She was the only one who knew what was going to happen in a few seconds.

"We are nearing to an end of Sasame's Wordgate, but we have one more person who wrote a special poem in regards of her feelings for someone. Yes, she is someone I have known for a long time and I've known very well that her feelings were pure inside and out. With this person she has feelings of love towards, there is no mistake that he feels the same for her."

"Must be a girl really in love," Himeno whispered under her breath.

"This poem that she wrote is called, "Emotions."

Tension snapped when Himeno heard the familiar name of the poem. But she decided to brush it off since it could be anyone's poem and not hers.

Then Sasame started to read.

"I have feelings,

For this certain person.

I always think about him,

Even when he doesn't know it."

Himeno began to panic, she knew that poem sounded way to familiar.

"When he speaks to me,

It's like music to my ears.

He's like my soft blanket of snow,

And my strong burning fire.

He's like my radiant light,

That brightens up my day.

He's like a cool drink of water,

That cools all the heat away."

'No no no! How can this be?' Himeno threw herself at the bed pillow and threw it off the bed. 'It's gone..., then that means.'

"These feelings I have in my heart,

Makes me feel so confused.

I've been search high and low,

And these feelings were really true."

Himeno realized that the only person that knew about the poem was Takako. Glaring at Takako, she didn't give off a sense of fear. She was guilty for sure, but she never regretted what she had done.

"Takako you...," Himeno growled.

All Takako did was smile as Sasame finished off the poem.

"I didn't know how to explain it then,

But now I know the truth.

It's just so hard to deny it,

When I know I've fallen in love with you."

" That was a very beautiful poem Himeno Awayuki. I never knew you could write such wonderful poems. Well that concludes for today's broadcast. I hope everyone has a good night and I will be on tomorrow night. Chiao!"

Everyone's gaze turned to Himeno after Hayate turned off the radio and almost broke it in the process. "You wrote that Himeno," Mawata mouth almost dropped all the way open. "Y-yeah..."

'Even though I wanna kill someone right about now.'

Just to be curious, Himeno looked at Hayate to see the expression on his face and yet she wished that she didn't look. Hayate looked down right mad, like he was about to punch a wall. 'C..crap, did he figure it all out,' she was scared out of her mind. Then out of nowhere, her parents come running through her bedroom door, literally jumping on her.

"Oooohhh, my little girl's in love," Natsue squeezed the air out of her step-daughter.

"You can't be in love Himeno! You're daddy's little girl and I'm not letting anyone else have you!"

"Aaaauuugggghhh, dad, mother... will you please!"

With Himeno distracted, Hayate walked out of the door without making a sound. He closed the door behind him and began to run down the hall and down the stairs and out of the door, out of sight, out of mind... after punching a large hole in to a wall. 'She did love someone else! I was a fool to believe she could..'

"AAAAUUUGHHHH," he yelled desperately in to the night sky.


Oooohhhh, I'm so close to being done with this story. The next chapter will be the last unless there are a change in plans. Sorry it took so long guys!

God Bless,
