Ch.2 Love is Blind

Himeno stayed at the park for a while longer, and decided to wait for Sassame. He came to the park everyday after work to relax. Himeno wanted to talk to him about her dream, but wasn't sure what his reaction might be. She sighed as she saw Sassame walking towards her. "Hey Sassame!"

"Himeno, don't you have school today?" He took a seat next to Himeno.

"Well, yes, but I have something to tell you."

"I'm listening." He said leaning towards her.

"I had this dream that I was mad at Hayate, as usual, and you came into my room to talk to me about it." Himeno looked up to see what his response would be.

"Is that it? That doesn't seem very strange to me."

"That's not all. You only had a towel on, and when you were walking towards me it fell off, then you just kept walking up to me and you said something."

"Really?" Sassame laughed. "What did I say?"

"You said: Would you like me better if I were more like Hayate?"

"Would you?" he asked curiously.

"What?" Himeno was surprised. She hadn't really thought about it much less expected it.

"Like me more if I really was like Hayate."

"No, I like you how you are." she said nervously.

"Are you sure? What did you say in the dream?"

"I didn't get a chance to answer you."

"Why? What happened?"

"You kissed me...well kind of."

"What's a "kind of" kiss?" Sassame said trying to look confused.

"It wasn't really a kiss."

"Show me."

Himeno's heart sank. "Uh..."

"There's no one watching." Sassame didn't even look around when he said this. He began to get closer to Himeno.

Himeno leaned in towards Sassame, and when her lips were touching his she said, "You said my name slowly, and..."

Before Himeno could finish, Sassame closed the gap between them with his lips. Himeno was surprised. Her eyes widened, and she pulled away. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. It just...happened."

"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have told you about my dream." Himeno stood up. "I should get going."

"Wait, don't leave yet." Sassame stood up and walked towards Himeno. "I won't do it again I promise. Besides, I'm glad you told me about your dream. I don't have many friends on Earth, and I don't want to lose the only one that I have."

"Okay, but I really need to get home." Himeno looked at her watch, trying to make an excuse to leave. The fact was that if she didn't leave soon her emotions were about to run away with her. She seemed to get attached to people easily. Like her stepmother. She was really nice to her when she was marring Mr. Awayuki, but after the marriage, she became cruel. Himeno didn't want to be disappointed again so she figured it would be best if she left.

"Alright, but let me walk you home at least."

"Alright, but don't try anything funny!" Himeno looked at Sassame seriously. "I know how to defend myself." Himeno smiled. Now that she thought about it, she didn't have many friends either. It felt good to have someone she could talk to.

Sassame smiled at her and nodded.

"So how's your love life?" Himeno asked.

Sassame stopped walking. "Why do you ask?"

"Because, you are always helping people on the radio with their problems, I just wonder sometimes."

"Well, I can't really tell you that."

"Are you gay? I won't tell anyone."

"I'm not! Fine. I'll tell you, but only so you'll get off my case." They began walking again when Sassame finally spoke. "I like this one girl. She's really nice, and pretty. She really smart and powerful too!"

"Oh." Himeno said sadly. How could she ever think that Sassame liked her? As if to be rejected by Hayate wasn't enough.

"Well you asked, sorry."

"No that's not it. My love life isn't going quite well at all. I like these two guys, and I can't quite choose between the two. One is nice and sensitive, the other mean and aggressive."

"Which do you like more?"

"I have more of a relationship with the nice one, but the mean one is very good looking."

"You can't judge based on looks alone."

"I know, but Hayate...I mean the mean one..."

"Wait a minute! You like Hayate!"

"Yes...no...well...maybe...you see that's why I shouldn't tell you anything."

"But, you're the one who wanted to talk about it in the first place."

"Whatever."

"So whose the nice guy?"

"I am!" said Hayate as he stepped out of the bushes and started walking with the couple.

"O you wish." Said Himeno. "You're mean, conceited, and rude. That's why I hate you, Hayate."

"Yeah, sure, I know you love me. I'm not as stupid as you are."

"Do I?"

"Yes." He stuck his tongue out at Himeno and left.

"What a way to treat the one you like. You fight like siblings."

"I know...that's why I've been thinking...the quiet one is kind of mysterious, and from what I hear he says he likes someone else."

"Well, I'm working night shift today, so I'll see you later." Sassame left with a grim expression upon his face.

Himeno walked up the mansions steps, and opened the front door. She stepped inside without looking and ran into someone. "I'm sorry!"

It was Goh, the Leafe knight of fire, whom also happened to be good looking. He had spiky dark hair, and tanned skin. He wasn't as tall as Sassame, or as pale for that matter. He looked kind of like the opposite of Sassame. Sassame had blue eyes and platinum white hair, and was tall and broad shouldered. Goh on the other hand had an athletic build and a younger looking face. Then again, he did like to flirt.

"Hey Himeno!" he said. He was carrying around a carrot cake in a plastic container. "What's up?"

"Nothing. I have homework." She lied.

"Well, I have to find your sister, and deliver this cake to her. See ya."

"Wait, I have a question. I sometimes get the feeling that Sassame and Hayate don't really like each other. Is that true?"

"Well..." he scratched his head. "Hayate mostly keeps to himself. I think he likes you. He hasn't been this mean to anyone in a while."

"Gee thanks." Himeno said sarcasticly. "Well, bye."

(When I get 5 reviews I'll update! Okie dokie.... btw, who knows the name of Sassame's step sisters...I kind of forgot.... --.... and what was her friends name...the nerdy one... I like her...)
