Chapter 4
Himeno pulled away from him abruptly. She wasn't the type that stole boyfriends neither was she the type that wanted to hurt others for sick enjoyment, no it wasn't any of those things that bothered her, but a very simple and scary one, and that was that she liked it, she liked kissing him. It was everything that she didn't have with anyone else. She turned away from him placing a hand on her lips, which was still warm and moist from his kisses.
"Himeno…" he started, but all he could do was grab her arm and make her look at him for a second before he was kissing her again. He felt himself closing his eyes, his lips brushing against hers in response, unwilling to break contact as she had begun to withdraw. He tightened his arms around her again as he deepened the kiss, almost against his will, his mouth angling hungrily against hers. Her parted lips against his own were an invitation too tempting to resist, and his tongue moved gently to part them further, tasting her, feeling her return his kisses. What in the hell were they doing? What was he doing?
"No, I'm sorry but we can't you're Mayune's fiancé for god's sake, what in the hell is coming over me?" she asked aloud.
"Himeno," he started again, but this time she backed away from.
"I can't I'm sorry!" she exclaimed as she made a run for it in the rain, her clothing soaking wet with in minutes.
He watched her run away, he did what came natural to him suddenly, and so he ran after her. Why he was running after her was beyond him, but that kiss sure as hell complicated things beyond fix, what were they going to do now pretend as if it never happed? Well maybe Himeno could do that but he sure as hell couldn't, he wasn't about to deny that he had an attraction to her, even if she could.
She arrived at the Awayuki mansion just as the rain was stopping, she walked inside as if nothing ever happened and found herself wanting to run and hide under the covers like a child that was lost. She was lost to what just happened and what she wanted since that happened. Yes she realized that she had somewhat of an attraction to the man, but hell she wouldn't tell him that, nor would she act on it, after all she just needed two weeks to get over it, yeah he would marry Mayune and live miserably while she went on with her daily activities. Yes, that was the plan; she would act as if nothing ever happened. She entered her room and leaned against it. 'God if you're up there just for once I ask that you help me out and help me get over this very embarrassing situation' she pleaded in her head.
He saw her rush into her room and lock the door he stood in the corridors of the Awayuki mansion. He came here for one daughter but found himself wanting another. He wondered what the parents would say if he suddenly decided not to marry Mayune and said that he wanted something with Himeno instead. Hayate killed the thought as quickly as it came, of course, he wouldn't do something so stupid, he cared about Mayune and that is why he was going to marry her. He loved…Mayune.
II
That night at dinner things were very awkward, Mayune talked away about how she had such trouble picking the right bride's maids dresses, and how the wedding planner was giving her such a hard time. Mawata chatted quietly with Himeno who looked at nothing but her plate, and occasionally nodded at what Mawata was saying.
"Himeno are you all right?" asked Mawata.
"Fine, why?" asked Himeno looking at her for the first time.
"It's just you're quite and you're concentrating on your plate a little too hard, it's making me nervous." Said Mawata with a smile.
Himeno laughed softly and shook her head slightly, "I'm fine, really." She was becoming a world-class lair, and if this kept up soon she'll be stealing the artifacts she'd find on her digs and say they eroded and turned to dust, while she was selling them in the black market. "I was thinking I would go back to Tokyo for a while that is if you guys don't need me for anything. I have this paper I have to write on my last expedition and I left all my documents at home, so why don't I finish that and then come back for the wedding?" asked Himeno. Hey, she was on a roll with this lying thing; why not give it another go.
Hayate looked at her and knew instantly that she was just feeding her sisters bullshit. Why was she doing this now? Damn it was nothing-serious just few kisses, nothing more or less then what happens in a bar after a few drinks. Why was she running from him? Was he that desirable that she couldn't control herself? "Couldn't it wait until after the wedding, I mean Mayune might need you for something?" He found himself say.
Himeno was about to answer to his question when Tanaka interrupted. "Miss. Himeno you have a phone call from your office."
"Excuse me."
"Hayate why did you even suggest such a thing?" asked Mayune. "If she doesn't want to be here for the parties and the bliss that's her problem."
"Mayune I don't think treating her like a stranger is making the situation any better between the three of you, do you guys see that she is hurt by what you say and how you treat her?" he asked suddenly. "I don't have much of a family left so I find you lucky to have two sisters and both parents." He was surprised at the way his explanation turned so sentimental.
"Oh Hayate sweetheart I had no idea that you felt this way!" exclaimed Mayune.
'That's a shocker there.' Thought Mawata as she chewed her food quietly before speaking. "I think Hayate is right you don't give Himeno the recognition she deserves, I mean she had always tried to make us happy. She even put up with all the things we did to her when we were younger, I realized just recently how lonely she must have felt."
"You too Mawata?"
"Mayune you're such a ditz sometimes! You can't see beyond your own nose! It's really frustrating." said Mawata as she stood throwing down her napkin glaring at her sister. "I can't understand what you're doing with her Hayate!"
'Yeah me either' he thought, "Mawata calm down there is no need for such an explosion." He tried to calm the younger sister. 'What the hell did I just start?'
"What you're not serious?!" came Himeno's over excited voice as she spoke to who ever it was that she was taking to you. "Yes, thank you for letting me know, I'll see what I can do!" she ended and walked into the dinning room, which was filled with tension. "Is everything all right?"
Mawata smiled at her and sat back down. "Fine, anything wrong?"
Himeno shook her head lightly as she walked to her place next to Mawata. "A colleague of mine called to tell me that the artifact that we found on the last dig was indeed the ear piece of one of the great knights, it seems that the cravings were covered in dirt that's why it didn't check out earlier, so now I have to change the whole report and do some research on the ear piece." Stated Himeno.
"Do you need some help?" asked Mawata.
"No I can handle it, thank god I bought my laptop with me, and their mailing me the rest of the materials I need, I told them I wouldn't mind going back and doing it there, but they insisted that I stay and enjoy my break." Said Himeno with a smile.
"You seem very excited about this ear piece what ever it is." Said Mayune.
Himeno looked at her older sister and nodded her head softly, "yea this is my life now, and of course I'm excited."
"Himeno I was wondering if you could give me a hand with picking the lines for the wedding." Said Mayune with a sigh.
"What?"
"What?"
"I mean I see you're busy so it's fine." Said Mayune as Mawata, Himeno and even Hayate stared at her.
"No I would love to help with your wedding, mean if you don't mind me." Said Himeno.
"Good then tomorrow Mawata, you and I will go shopping and stop by the tableware store where we're purchasing for the wedding." Said Mayune.
"That would be great Mayune." Said Mawata with a smalls smile.
Himeno looked at Hayate who was smiling at Mayune, and then she smiled looking at Mawata who smiled back, so maybe everything will work out after all! Maybe this is the year they patch up the broken years and make an effort to love each other…yes this was the year.
The next morning after breakfast they had went off to shop for the linens, it was a better time then any of them had expected, they joked and laughed, and Mayune suddenly was warming up to Himeno, which was a plus. They had lunch and shopped for some materials and soon returned home just before it was time for dinner. Almost a week passed this way as they spent time getting to know one another like real sisters do. And all the while Hayate though about her, the way she was laughing more, the way her face lit up when she was excited and he couldn't stop wondering what she'd look like with her head thrown back in the throes of passion.
II
The bells at the door stopped Mawata from going to the dinning hall and answer the door, when she opened the door however, she gasped as a small blush crept to her cheeks. There stood the man who she admired for years.
"Hi this is the Awayuki Mansion is it not?" he asked looking at the young woman.
"Yes it is how may I help you?" asked Mawata.
"I'm here to see Himeno, I came from the museum to give her the things she needed for her report." He said holding up the brief case.
"Sasame?" called Himeno who was coming down the stairs. Mawata turned to look at the big smile on her stepsister then back to the man who smiled back at her. "What are you doing here?"
"Brought you the things from the museum, they thought it best for someone to drive up here than have these get lost in the mail." He said.
As soon as she neared him, she smiled before throwing he arms around him. "Do you know how long it has been since we last spoken? You said you'd call but you never did, the last time we spoke was when I left to Rome." Said Himeno. "That was almost 5 months ago!"
He chuckled as he hugged her back before pulling away and nodding, "Yes it has been a while hasn't it? I meant to call you but you were always away and I would always miss you at the museum so when I got back I heard they needed someone to deliver this to you so I thought I'd come and surprise you." He said smiling down at her.
"Oh I'm so rude Sasame this is my sister Mawata, and Mawata this is Sasame Shiro, he use to work at the Awayuki radio station where he had a special." Said Himeno.
"Yes I use to listen to some of your shows they were very good." Mawata smiled.
"Tanaka what is taking those two so long?" asked Mayune.
"It seems someone is here to see Miss. Himeno and they are both greeting him now."
"Him? Could it be Himeno as a leading man?" she asked standing to inquire, while Hayate followed out of curiosity or that's what he told himself.
"Hayate?" called Sasame as he noticed the man next to Mayune.
"Sasame?"
"Do you two know each other?" asked Himeno.
"Yeah Hayate and I were in school together," said Sasame. "It's good to see you again, Hayate."
"Well Sasame you and I haven't yet been introduced, I am Mayune Awayuki Hayate's fiancé, very nice to meet a man in Himeno's life." She said being surprisingly nice since last night.
"Yes, nice to meet you as well, I had no idea that Hayate was getting married." He said raising an eyebrow at Hayate.
"Well when you find that special one things tends to happen." Said Mayune placing a kiss on Hayate's neck.
Himeno smiled and looked at Mawata who was currently staring at Sasame. "So Sasame would like to join us for dinner?" she finally asked.
"That would be nice but I have some work to finish up, so can I take a rain check on that?" asked Sasame.
"If its anything for the museum then don't you dare start without me, I have a better idea, why don't you stay for dinner then you and I could go and work out the hard parts." Said Himeno.
Sasame looked at her and smiled, "Ok fine, it's not like I was going to get any work done without you anyway so sure if that's all right with you all." He said now looking at the other three who nodded and smiled.
Dinner was warmer than the other nights, Himeno laughed more and she wasn't looking down at her plate like she could eat the food with her eyes. They chatted about Sasame's line of work, how he came to work for the museum etc. It was as if they all had been long time friends talking after a long time of not seeing each other.
"Thank you for dinner, but Himeno and I should really get to work, maybe we could have coffee sometime." Said Sasame.
"Yes Sasame is right, well I'll see you tomorrow morning I'll be up half the night working on it." Said Himeno.
"Why don't you come back to the hotel with me, we'll work there, and you can have the bed after." Said Sasame.
"That seems like a better idea doesn't it?" she asked thinking for a moment before smiling. "Yeah just give me five minutes to pack my materials,"
"All right."
"Are sure you two are going to work? I'm not blind Sasame." Said Mayune with a sly smile.
Sasame chuckled, "I promise you we will."
"Please excuse me; I have a meeting tomorrow morning." Said Mawata as she slowly stood, "It was nice to meet you Mr. Shiro."
"Well sweetheart I have to call Ella about the catering, Sasame it was nice to meet you." Said Mayune
Hayate looked at Sasame, "So how did the two of you meet?" he asked, why he was interested was beyond him.
"I met Himeno a while back while she was still living here, I was walking through the park and saw her there and had this urge to talk to her, and since then basically everything just happened, we have been in contact constantly up until now the recent work load, but the reason I'm here now is because I wanted to see her." said Sasame. "What about you I never thought of you as the one to be getting married."
"Neither did I but there is just something about Mayune that I'm drawn to I suppose." God he was an even greater liar than Himeno.
"I see well best of luck, I mean she seems better than before, when we first met but I suppose that she doesn't remember, it was about 10 or 11 years back when she was still a teenager." He said with a smile.
"Sasame I'm ready let's go!" exclaimed Himeno with her bag and a change of clothing. "Thought I'd wear really comfy clothing to work." She said pulling on her tee shirt, and jeans. "Let's go!"
"See you later Hayate." He said taking the bag from her. "Are you planning on moving in with me?" he asked.
"I wish I could…I'm just kidding!" she said patting him on the back. "Good night Mr. Hayate!" she called as she closed the door.
Hayate walked slowly towards the window watching the two, as they walked side by side talking and smiling, it was because of him she was acting a bit like herself, wait he knew nothing about her what was normal and wasn't how could he know.

"Himeno I was wondering did you think about what I asked you?"
"What do you mean?"
"About coming to live with me in London."
"I did, but there is so much work here, and my father demands so much attention…I guess I'm not ready to make that big of a change yet Sasame, the offer was sweet and thoughtful as always."
"Our department could use someone like you, someone with your passion and care for the artifacts and think of the bigger digs you could be involved in!"
"I know Sasame…I'll think about it some more and I'll tell you before you leave here I promise,"
"All right."
"Can we stop by the convenient store, I want ice cream."
"I don't think they have the flavor you like…um,"
"Sasame relax I won't make you eat it, I know you think its disgusting, I mean a lot of people seem to think that but I like it, tell you what since your probably right about it not being in stores well just settle for another flavor ok."
Sasame laughed, "Fine, just as long is it's not that."
They had worked just as they said they would, they finished most of the report. Himeno stood and stretched, it seemed they would have to do more digging on the earpiece.
"I'm exhausted." Muttered Himeno as she sat back down against Sasame, who nodded as he rubbed her arm slowly. Himeno looked up at him as he looked at her and smile, she leaned forwards and kissed him, and they had often done this it was friendly and nothing more. Sasame pulled her closed as he held her neck and let his other hand run through her hair.
Sasame's kisses were like wine, intoxicating and sweet, growing bolder with each touch of his lips against her own. She found that she soon had her hands slid up into his hair, feeling him kiss her, as he never had before. her body burned…ached with the need for more and pulling back from him, breathless and blushing, she smiled, they weren't going to finish what work they still had left, they needed a break, yes a break…from reality. And god the reality was she had been so aroused by Hayate she could not look at the man without thinking of that searing kiss.
Sasame had pushed her to her back and slid his hand underneath her tee as she lay drifting away on her own thoughts, tracing his fingers up and down the flatness of her belly. She kept her eyes on him and he kept his eyes on his hand and her skin.
"I love you," he said, lashes feathering up as he finally met her gaze with his own. "You're my best friend," he whispered, his hand moving slowly up to trace over the outside curve of her breast, as she lay motionless against him. He lowered his head and nibbled at her jaw, making her laugh and she turned toward him, wrapping her arms around him, holding him tightly, and feeling the heavy thudding of his pulse as it raced within his body.
"Kiss me." She said softly as he lowered her to her back once again. This time he gently eased his leg over her lower body to keep her in place, but she wasn't going anywhere! This felt all too good to her! Like a sweet, warm dream! She realized he'd broken the kiss only when she felt the warmth of his mouth slide over her throat and down to her collarbone. She shivered against him, biting her lip as she felt the tips of her breasts harden in sweet aching anticipation.
"Are you cold?" he murmured, keeping his lips against her skin.
"Yeah, a little." she said, looking into his eyes when he leaned up off her a bit.
"Really? Because I'm burning up!" he grinned, his hand lowering again to her breast to gently squeeze. She moaned lowly, pushing herself against him without even realizing it and got an answering groan from him in return.
"Sasame?"
"Yes Himeno?"
"Were on the floor and on top of our reports!"
"Ah yeah… damn!" he chuckled softly, lowering his mouth to her breast to suck at the nipple through both her tee shirt and bra. A hot current of desire shot through her at the intimacy of the contact, it has been a while since she had any sex.
"Want to take this to the bed?" he mumbled, easing over a bit so that he could suck at the opposite nipple. She couldn't answer him - all that was running through her fevered mind was the wonder of how his mouth would feel against her bare breasts if it felt this good through two layers of clothing.
She ran her fingers through his tousled silver locks as he leaned up and away from her, tugging at her socks. Hearing them fall on a piece of paper against the floor, she eased up enough to run her nails lightly over his back, feeling his breath quicken underneath the simple touch. With his back to her, he toed off his own socks and then slipped his t-shirt over his head, throwing it to the floor to land amongst their shoes and socks.
And then he was there with her again, his bare chest hot and smooth underneath her hands as she looked up into his eyes.
"So this is it…," he whispered.
"Yeah…kiss me Sasame…make me forget my loneliness…please."
II
Early that morning Himeno thought it best to call the house let them know she was busy for the rest of the day, with Sasame. What surprised her was who picked up the phone when she called Mawata's room.
"Hello?"
Himeno pulled her robe closer to her body as she heard Hayate's voice on the other line. Why was he answering the phone in Mawata's room? "hello, Mr. Hayate I was just calling to let you guys know that I will be staying here through out the day I'll be back home tonight, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done so…I'm sorry that I woke you."
"Its fine, did you sleep well, I know Sasame is a gentleman and probably give you the bed." Why in the hell he asked he didn't know, just like he didn't know why he spent the night with Mawata when he thought the room belonged to Himeno, and Mayune had to leave to a meeting early morning, why he was doing this to himself he fucken did not know!
"Hmmm Hayate who is it?" Mawata asked as she sat up not bothering to pull the sheets with her, as her breast lay bare. Hayate had came into her room later that night and she didn't know what came over her but she kissed him and from then on everything happened, she didn't mean for it to, nor did she want to hurt Mayune, but after seeing Himeno with Sasame Shiro the man she secretly had a crush on since high school made her lose control.
Hayate covered the phone "It's Himeno."
"I slept fine; actually Sasame and I fell asleep on the bed so I suppose we both slept all right, umm please tell Mayune that I can't help her today."
"It's all right Mayune won't be doing any of the planning today she has a meeting with the brick field mangers, she won't return until later tonight."
"Oh…umm all right. Sorry if I woke you."
"No it's all right."
"Bye"
"Bye"
"I feel awful for what happened last night Hayate." Said Mawata as she crawled near the naked man and wrapped her arms around him.
'Fell asleep together, what sort of bull is that, why didn't she just say that she slept with him?' Hayate thought angrily. He looked at Mawata for a second before pulling her towards him and crushing his lips with hers. He was screwed for life; he kissed one sister and couldn't stop thinking about the bitch! Now he fucked another sister-correction getting ready to fuck her again, and he proposed to one, yup he was the great Hayate but he only wanted one woman at the moment and that was Himeno, maybe it was nothing but lust, this attraction to Himeno was nothing but lust and he needed it out before his wedding.
Himeno stared at the phone, 'god did he? No way! No I'm thinking wrong here, he probably picked up her phone while walking by and she wasn't there, yeah…oh god he fucked her.' she thought as she pulled of her robe and walked to bed next to Sasame.
"Mmm Himeno?" he called.
"Just called home to tell them that I wasn't going home till later." She said moving towards his open arms. "So they don't worry or anything."
"Good." He whispered kissing her ear softly. "Go back to sleep"
"Yeah." It was easier said than done, Himeno couldn't believe that he slept with Mawata, he slept with her? Where was Mayune? Why was he being such a jerk, why was he going to hurt Mayune…and Mawata and even her?
It was hours later did Hayate woke to find Mawata atop of him and still asleep, what was becoming of him, was this normal, was this happening because he was nervous, hell why couldn't it be anyone but his fiancé's sister? Sighing he placed his hand in her hair running his hands through it, was this what he wanted. He was turning into a real jerk within a night, not that he didn't do this before, no of course, not, it was just that this time he was engaged and he slept with the one sister and couldn't stop thinking about another one.
Mawata stirred slowly before raising her head and smiling down at the man beneath her, she moved forward to kiss him, which he accepted. She moved so she was positioned so their lowers half touched where they needed to be touched. She gasped slowly as Hayate's mouth left hers and went down to her throat making a small distance to her breast, one hand on her other breast while the free hand held her hips to grind her against him.
'Why don't you stop you jerk!' he thought as he pinched her nipple, and bit into one.
Mawata moaned and gasped and moved with him, why she was doing this was beyond her as well. 'god I'm so awful…Mayu…oh god this man is like a god, he knows how to make a woman feel!' she thought as she felt herself being flipped over to her back as Hayate ready himself to enter her for the probably the fifth time.
Wrapping her legs around his hips she looked at his eyes, they knew what they were getting into, hell this was more complicated than they would like to say, but at the moment, they liked it a little too much to care. She gasped when she felt him in her, pulling him within her even deeper, she rocked with him, the room filled with gasps, and moans, and boy was she happy that these walls didn't leak sound!
"Hayate!" she exclaimed as she came. She wondered what Hayate would think if he knew that, the picture in her mind was the elegant Sasame.
"Gods…Mawata…" he said but it wasn't the name he thought of 'Himeno' was the one he called but he'll be damned if he was going to say the wrong name like most idiots. Yes, he was passion filled but not so much that he couldn't remember something like that.
Himeno woke again this time she was alone in bed, she sat up and looked around the clean hotel room and smiled as Sasame walked out of the bathroom wearing a towel.
"I see that your up, the room service came and cleaned our mess, and was she pissed." He said walking towards her placing a kiss on her lips. "Good morning or good afternoon."
"Good morning." She said as she kissed him back. "I need a shower." She said.
"Too bad I missed you by minutes." He said.
"You're such a romantic sometimes!" she rolled her eyes and giggled as she got out of the bed and walked towards the bathroom. She liked it when she was around Sasame, like always they shared few kisses and hung out like when they were still in school, but now they hardly ever saw each other. These few nights with him, when they had work they would indulge in talking and playing around. She wanted him, god yes she wanted him a lot, but he would always pull away from her before anything ever happened, actually truth be told Sasame's kisses where the only ones that made her forget Hayate's who obviously kissed anyone it seemed.
Turning the shower on and stepping in and letting the warm water wash her sweaty body and cleanse her, once she was done she stepped out and saw Sasame's perfume and couldn't fight the urge to spray some on, loving the smell of him around her. She walked out of the bathroom and pulled on her clothing, it seemed that Sasame had gone out to talk to room service about something. She pulled on a turquoise satin cami and dark denim jeans, she brushed her hair and by then Sasame was back, wrapping his arms around her waist loosely.
"I was just asking the clerk to make a reservation for us at the Awayuki Mist, so tell me something Himeno Awayuki will you join me for lunch and dinner?" he asked.
"Yes I would love too."
"Then lets go get something to eat I'm starved and then we can do what ever you want."
"Well I was thinking in the lines of stopping by the mall for a dress so I can go to dinner with you. But I want to eat the whole menu before we do anything!" she laughed as she walked out of the room with him.
They had a big lunch, well Himeno had a big lunch and then they headed to the mall where she purchased a dress for that night and pair of shoes, and spent the rest of the day just walking around the city.
Hayate had left Mawata's room sometime in mid afternoon, after showering he made an excuse of having some important meeting over the phone and avoiding Mawata, at least for the rest of the afternoon. He needed to think and clear his head, he walked through the malls and stopped at the store he went with Himeno, he purchased a gift for Mayune to stop the guilty voice. He spent the rest of his day at a bookstore's café.
Himeno and Sasame went to dinner and decided to take a walk afterwards, before Sasame was to drive her back to the mansion, they sat down at the park bench discussed a few things, and talked of old times and their dreams, Sasame knew everything about everything there possible was to know about her. He was her best friend.
Hayate was taking a walk through the very park where the infamous kiss happened, maybe he was back there to torment himself about why the tulip head was still on his mind, what ever the reason maybe that park didn't bring him any peace for there was Himeno and Sasame, he knew something was going on, they were just too close for comfort, and he knew Sasame, the guy had powers like a god to creep his way into women's hearts. Nearing them with caution, he stood listening to their conversations.
"So that's what Mr. Taishi said to you huh?"
"Yeah, that he saw something in me, Sasame the guy freaks me out and I don't know how to tell him I'm not interested in him."
"You know Himeno why are you single we've known each other for more than 10 years and I still see you this way, comes on you're my best friend tell me why?"
"I don't know Sasame I guess it's just that I'm so deep in myself that I can't seem to attract love."
Sasame pushed her hair back and placed a kiss on her neck, "Don't tell me because you're insecure about your looks, than I won't believe it first and second I'll take you back to the hotel room right now and make you see just how beautiful you are."
Himeno giggled bringing his face down towards hers and placing a chaste kiss on his lips. "Sasame why are you still single?"
"I guess because I'm waiting for that special someone, someone like you who I can sit for countless hours talking to, sleeping with, lying next to…I want what we have to be a base for who I fall in love with." He said softly placing another kiss on her lips.
Himeno looked at him and smiled, "come on it's getting cloudy looks like rain, we better start walking back…you're my ride to the mansion, and in return I promise to have dinner with you tomorrow night."
"I accept your offer, come on."
"Besides I don't think its right to sit with a handsome man and just start making out with him in the park." She laughed as he placed an arm around her as they walked to his car.
Hayate stood for a second watching as they walked away, they looked happy like a real couple. Was she happy with Sasame? Why in the hell was he so damned pissed at Sasame for anyway, it was a good thing he was distracting her from him, he had to get married and claim his family's fortune and live happily ever after with Himeno. 'Oh god! Mayune! Mayune! Not Himeno Mayune!' he thought as he raced for his car.
To his surprise and displeasure, Himeno and Sasame were still in front of the large gates of the Awayuki mansion. He didn't want to intrude but then he couldn't just sit in his car, so he decided to stand around the corner until Sasame left her and then he could catch her and ask his questions.
"Well here we are princess." Said Sasame with a smile as he leaned down and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you Sasame…for everything." She said as she looked at him her hands on his cheek.
Slowly he took her hand and brought it to his lips. "Anything for my best friend."
"Anything?"
"Anything."
"Stay."
"What?"
"Spend the night with me Sasame…show me how you would make love to a woman you love…I love you Sasame, you're my best friend, you didn't finish last night, Sasame I need you."
"Himeno…"
"Please…" she said softly before standing on tip toes to kiss him, this time the kiss was like a fever, not the chaste as the one they shared at the park, no this one was different…it was romantic and passion filled like the one they shared the night before in the hotel room.
Hayate watched with as anger unsuspectingly rose with in him, why was she doing this? Why was he angry? Why were they still front of the damned gate?
"Will you stay?"
"Yes."
