Hayate's Tale

Sasame walked into the knight's apartment, looking for some one to tell the news. He wasn't so sure if it was good news or not, but it was worth telling, but after a quick evaluation, he discovered that he was the only there. "Well, I guess the others are out looking for the new pretear", Sasame sighed. "I might as well go find them and put an end to their search." Sasame headed towards the door, which swung open just as he was about to grab the handle. Hayate was standing in the doorway, looking a bit harassed and out of breath. It looked as though he had run all the way there, but Sasame new that the likelihood of that was slim to none. "What happened to you Hayate", Sasame asked, as Hayate crossed into the room. Ignoring the question completely, Hayate entered the kitchen, shortly returning with a drink in hand, and plopped down on the couch.
"I have something important to tell you Hayate", Sasame said, taking a seat beside Hayate. "That's funny, I was gonna tell you the same thing", Hayate responded, unheard by Sasame. "I found the new pretear", both men suddenly blurted out at once.
Sasame turned a shocked face towards a slightly confused Hayate. "You met Kohana too?" "Who the hell is Kohanna", Hayate asked. "Well... she's the new pretear!", Sasame answered, even more confused than before. "I don't know who you're talking about" Hayate replied. "But the chick I'm talking about is some girl named Ayaka." "Ayaka?" Sasame asked, "are you sure she's the pretear?" "Yeah." Hayate replied. "In fact, I met her at Himeno's House..." (Flashback)
Hayate walked down the hall of the Awayuki mansions with a large bag of cement in hand. He had just been to check up on Himeno, and see how she was handling the "incident", but she had locked her door and refused to see him. After losing the ability prêt, she had been gradually distancing herself from him.
"What's that", Hayate asked himself as the dull sound of music reached his ears. As he neared Kaoru's workroom it grew louder, and soon, he was met with the sound of Natsue and Kaoru's laughter. "Oh Kaoru", Natsue cooed. "You never told me you were such a good dancer!" "Well", Kaoru laughed. "I am when I have such a good partner!" Natsue giggled. " Oh Kaoru!"
"Slowdown Awayuki-samma", a second, unfamiliar voice called out. "You're getting ahead of the music!" Hayate finally reached the room to find that all of the work equipment had been moved, and mirrors ha been installed on three of the four walls. A boom box lay on the floor, and Natsue and Kaoru were waltzing around the room in Flash Dance like get up. "Dip me Kaoru, dip me!", Natsue called out. Kaoru tiled Natsue gracefully toward the floor. "Anything for you honey-bunny!"
Hayate glanced wide-eyed around the room. "What's going on here?", he almost screamed out. "Oh hey Hayate", Kaoru called out, taking Natsue out of the dip. "I forgot to tell you! Natsue and I have wanted to try something new together, so Ayaka here is giving us ballroom dancing lessons!" "And you're so great at it too Kaoru", Natsue cooed while tracing small circles over his chest. "Aww gee", Kaoru said blushing. "I'm not so much."
Hayate took his first notice of the girl sitting in the corner, and realized that she must have been the other voice he had heard on the way in. She was seated next to the boom box and messing with some tapes. She wore some gray sweatpants over a black leotard, and her back-length, powder purple hair was bulled back into two ponytails. She had a slim, athletic build, and from what he could tell, a good-sized chest. He couldn't tell what color her eyes where. Her back was to him, and she hadn't noticed that he was in the room yet.
"Riing Riiing", Natsue cell phone went off. She answered the call and then quickly turned to kiss Kaoru. "I'm sorry honey, I'm going to have to cut our lesson short. An emergency just came up." "That's alright dear", Kaoru answered cheerfully. "Hayate will just have to help me learn that new move. You'll help me, right Hayate?" "Oh... well... Uh", Hayate stuttered. "I hadn't planned..." "That's great!", Kaoru proclaimed grabbing Hayate by the hand, and dragging him towards the seated girl. "Ayaka I got you a partner now you can show me that turn!" "A partner... wha.. I can't dance... what are you talking about?", Hayate exclaimed, still stuttering.
The girl turned around, and stood up. Her eyes were a light lilac that almost matched her hair. "Ayaka", Kaoru said, speaking to the girl. " This is Hayate. He'll be our fill in today." "Hey Hayate", Ayaka said, still smiling. "Hey", Hayate replied. "umm what's a "fill in". Ayaka laughed. "You don't need to worry. I'm just teaching this fancy little turn to Mr. And Mrs. Awayuki today. I usually use Mrs. Awayuki to demonstrate new moves, but since she's not here, I'll be doing my demonstration with you." "Oh", Hayate murmured. "Now", Ayaka said stepping towards Hayate. "Pay attention Awayuki-samma! First, you put this arm around my waist, and you hold my hand with this one."
Hayate began to position his arms around her, but quickly jumped back as they were separated by a large, electric shock. He glanced at his hand, and looked down to find Ayaka sprawled over the floor. Kaoru rushed over to help her up in a look of shock. "Wow", he said slowly. "Are you guys Ok?" (End Flashback)
Hayate sighed and turned away from Sasame. "And that's what happened", he said in a slightly exhausted voice. "I met her at some sort of tango lesson." "What does this mean", Sasame asked. "We've never had two pretears before." Hayate shrugged. "Beats me." Sasame placed his hand under his chin to think. "Well", he said. "I told Kohana to meet for ice cream, I guess you could invite Ayaka too, and maybe we can work something out. "I guess so", Hayate sighed. He got off the sofa, and sort of dragged himself into the opposite direction. "I'm exhausted", he called over his shoulder to Hayate. "I'm going to bed."

Well people, that's all for now. Stay tuned for the next chapter: Crazy Stalker Pimps! I know the title sounds crazy, but this is the chapter where the two pretears meet each other, and learn about just what it means to be pretear
