Do You Love Me? - Chapter 2 – The Bonds of Friendship
It was a rainy Saturday afternoon. The sky, dark and cloudy, thundered loudly. In the dim chamber of Himeno's room, two young ladies were brewing up a scheme…
Himeno was sitting down at her desk, watching Takako, who was setting up a blackboard. After setting up the final piece, Takako grabbed a piece of chalk out of her pocket and wrote on the board, in big, bold letters, 'THE PLAN.'
"Alright. Let's start the discussion of the plan." said Takako, "By the way, thanks for getting me off of work today! You're a lifesaver! Literally!"
"Oh, no!" Himeno insisted, "I'm the one who should be thanking you! You're the one who's helping me with my plan!"
Giggling softly, Takako moved the blackboard in front of Himeno's desk and stood in front of it, holding the piece of chalk in her right hand. (Sort of like a classroom; with Himeno the student and Takako the teacher ^^;;)
"So," asked Himeno, "How do you propose I 'die' and make it believable without letting everyone know I'm still alive?"
"I've been thinking it over the past couple of days," said Takako, "and I think that it would be best if it were like this: You and I were passing by the beach on our way to do an errand. We stop to look at the ocean, when I 'accidently' push you into the water, and I scream, making a scene that some guy came over and pushed you in, then ran away. Meanwhile, you swim under the docks, all the way to the end of the beach, and run to the abandoned church near your house where I'll meet you later, after they take me in for questioning. If they ask where I saw you body go, I'll just say that I was too shocked to pay attention, and my best guess was that you washed out to sea."
"W-wow! Now THAT sounds like a plan! When did you become so devious?" said Himeno, flabbergasted.
Flipping her hair back triumphantly, Takako started, "Well, I used to be evil, didn't I?"
"Yes, your right." Himeno chimed, "How long should I stay 'dead'?"
"No longer than a week I suppose. With you being 'dead,' Hayate would have no reason to hide anymore, so with him being off-guard, YOU would be able to spy on him this time! You'll be able to see his reactions. Then when you make your big comeback in a week, Hayate will HAVE to tell you he loves you! It's sure to work!" Takako said jubilantly, as the sound of crackling thunder could be heard from outside.
"I bet it will…"said Himeno with a smile, then looking down, frowning a bit.
"Is something wrong? You still want to go through with this don't you?" asked Takako.
"Yes…It's just that wouldn't I be worrying everyone? Not to mention the both of us getting ourselves into a whole bunch of trouble…"
Putting the piece of chalk down and walking over to her, Takako said, "This is your choice, Himeno, not mine. I only want to go through with this if you do." Himeno looked up at her as she began again, "Himeno, do you know why I'm doing this? Do you know why I would go through so much trouble to help you? It's because we're friends. YOU were the one to teach me friendship again, Himeno. I owe you my life. I'm doing this because you deserve to be just as happy as Sasame and I are…" Himeno, touched by what she said, wanted to speak as well, but Takako ended the topic by joking, "…and with the way things are going between you and Hayate, you won't get together until the next Ice age!"
"Takako…thank you…" uttered Himeno, wiping a small tear away from her eye.
"No need for the thanks." winked Takako, "Now," she began again, picking up the chalk and writing on the board, "Here is the list of places, in this order, where I will meet you over the next seven days. We will conduct the plan tomorrow, at approximately 2:36 PM, when it's least crowded at the beach, so there won't be many witnesses. Is there anything I've left out?"
"Well, where will I sleep?" Himeno asked.
"Oh yes! That! Well, I was thinking you could sleep in the abandoned church near your house. The place where I first turned into…" Takako stopped, and looked down at the floor heavyheartedly.
Standing up, and walking over to Takako, Himeno gave her a great big hug, "Thank you, Takako…If there's any way I can repay you…" Himeno stopped when Takako brought a finger to her lips to silence her.
"Consider it even." Takako said, beaming.
The two girls laughed together, strengthening their bond of friendship even more.
'Tommorow…' Himeno thought, 'Tomorrow…I will find out Hayate's true feelings…'
Smiling, Himeno paid a fond farewell to Takako, who left to go home, preparing for the big day tomorrow. Walking towards the window, looking at the pot of flowers on the sill, she said, "Don't worry, mother. I'll be back soon. Just watch over Hayate while I'm gone…won't you?"
And with that, Himeno left the window to pack a bag of belongings that she would need over the next seven days…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, Hayate had been watching Himeno from her window, sheltering himself from the rain by sitting under a tree. (Not the best place to be sitting in a thunderstorm, Hayate ^^;;) 'I wonder what Takako was doing up there for such a long time…' he thought. Not realizing it, Hayate dozed off while he was lost in thought, and feel asleep, as the rain fell harder and harder…

End of chapter 2. It looks like we know Himeno and Takako's plan now, but what's going to happen to Hayate out in the rain? Coming soon - Chapter 3…
