Disclaimer: I do not own Pretear... but that would be so interesting if I did... believe me they wouldn't be saying lets preat if I did...

'Himeno....'

"Huh?" Himeno turned around and found darkness everywhere. "What's going on?" She asked aloud.

'Himeno....' Himeno turned around again.

"Who are you? What do you want?" She asked calmly.

'Himeno... You know what is going to happen... Do not fight it any longer... Just succumb to your fears and let darkness take over.'

"No! I will not! I have to fight!" A light protected Himeno from the darkness trying to engulf her.

'How long do you think you can fight? How long do you think it will take before you finally give up?' The voice asked.

"I will not give up! I will not be beaten!" She yelled. Suddenly her light flickered and faded away.

'Looks like you don't have a choice in the matter...' The darkness washed over her.

"NO!!!!!!" She cried.

"Himeno...."

"NO!!!!!!" Himeno fought back from the darkness that was now shaking her.

"Himeno!" Himeno's eyes shot open. When she saw she was in her room and that the Leafe Knights were by her side and Hayate was the one shaking her awake, tears streamed down her face.

"It was just a dream..." She burrowed her head into Hayate's chest. "A very bad dream..."

"What's going on?" Mannen asked.

"Is someone hurting you Himeno?" Shin asked in his cute little boy voice.

"No... I'm fine now. Thank you for waking me up from that nightmare."

"Himeno..." Hayate wiped away her tears.

"Don't worry about anything. I'm fine." She smiled reassuring him. Suddenly, Himeno's stepmother, Mawata, Kaoru (Himeno's father), Mayune and Takaco ran into the room.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Takaco asked breathlessly.

(A/n ok. Let me explain this... Takaco is still the maid and the Leafe Knights now live in Himeno's huge house with her family. It has been a year since everything ended in the show. Ok. I think that might clear some things up...)

"Oh, I'm sorry I woke you up with all my screaming." Himeno looked at the Leafe Knights. "I was just having a bad dream, right guys?" She didn't even wait for any of them to answer. "Really I am fine. You can go back to bed now."

"Really! Waking us up to find out nothing is wrong! The nerve of you!" Mayune said stomping back to her room.

"Are you sure Himeno?" Mawata asked really concerned.

"Mm hm!" She nodded. Mawata gave her one last look and walked to her bedroom.

"Well, I think its time for us to go back to bed as well Kaoru." Kaoru stared at his daughter.

"Okay... If you need anything, don't forget we're here, okay?" He said walking out the door.

"Alright. Thank you." One by one, after making sure the Himeno was all right, the Leafe Knights left her room until it was Hayate and Himeno left.

"So are you going to tell me what really happened in your dream?" He asked sitting down on her bed.

"Hayate... Really, nothing happened... I just had a bad dream! You Leafe Knights really do worry too much!"

Hayate looked her in the eyes. "That's because we know you wouldn't say something even if something did happen."

Himeno's began to water but she tried to play it off.

"Oh, there must be something in my eye." She said rubbing it with her arm.

Hayate pulled her arm away from her face. "There's nothing in you eyes. Just let it out..."

Himeno's tears started rolling down her face and she reached out for Hayate. He wrapped his arms around her and she told him what happened in between sobs.

"It was awful!" She cried.

"Shh... It's all right now. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. None of us will. We'll always be there to protect you, okay?"

Himeno nodded and eventually she cried herself to sleep. Hayate tucked her in bed and turned to leave when Himeno reached out and grabbed his clothes in her sleep.

"Hayate..." She whispered. Hayate smiled and pulled up a chair to her bed.

"You idiot. I'm not going to leave you."

Himeno woke up to the light filtering in through her windows. She yawned and turned over in her bed. She was suddenly aware that something or someone was holding her hand. She opened her eyes and saw Hayate sleeping like a baby.

'Aw... He's so cute when he sleeps...' She thought to herself. Then she thought about it. 'Wait. Did he sleep in my room by my side the whole night?!' Her cheeks became a rosy red.

"You jerk!" She punched Hayate through her door.

"Hey! What was that for!?" He yelled.

"Stay out of my room! You pervert!!!!!!!" She pummeled him with pillows and anything else she could find to throw at him that wouldn't seriously injure him.

Kei and Sasame were walking down the hall witnessing the whole thing.

"Well isn't it another glorious morning that was get to see Hayate being beat up by a girl." Kei said sarcastically.

"When will you learn to just leave her alone?" Sasame asked rhetorically."Shut up! Its not my fault she's a vicious monster!"

"WHAT!?!??!?!??!?!?!?" Himeno came running out her room and chased Hayate all through the house.

"All because you live here now you think that you can just say whatever about me?!"

"Tulip-head!" Hayate yelled behind him. She exploded.

"Just wait until I get my hands on you!"

"As long as you don't fall on me! I mean I don't want to be crushed by your heaviness!"

"Okay and now you die!!!!!!!" This continued on into the wee hours of the morning, waking everyone up that Sunday. It was good that they were having fun then, the future would be full of unexpected obstacles and perhaps even casualties. Of course, they did not know of such things.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!
