The Fate Twister: The Coincidence Meeting
Sorry for the delay... Hope u will like it... Please enjoy the story...

After one year, Himeno had gotten into the high school that she wanted to go. She had almost forgotten about the angel guy, Hayate.

Sasame's bookstore's business was picking up. He bought a new computer. Himeno,of course, became his regular customer. She went there almost every day and surf the Net.

She got to know a chat pal from the chat room named "Hayate". When she saw the name, pictures of that fateful day that she saw Hayate fell down from the tree above her, with 'great white wings' behind him, and her first kiss flashed in her mind like a movie.

Maybe because of the name, Himeno hit off well with him. The both of them chatted about almost everything under the sun. After a few days, "Hayate" asked if they could meet up, and Himeno gladly accepted the invitation. They then arranged to meet at the forest; a magazine would be used to recognise one another.

Himeno had not gone to the forest for quite a long time. She did not tell anyone about meeting "Hayate". If not, her mum and Sasame will not allow her to go. Especially Sasame, he once took a newspaper and put it in her face and told her about how people were cheated by their Net "pal".

"I will not be so unlucky to meet a cheat..." was Himeno's thought when she was walking nearer and nearer towards the stone bridge near the forest.

Just when she walked near the bridge, Himeno saw a guy aged about 35, tanned skin and pimples of big and small sizes on his face.

"Omigosh! Do not tell me he is..."Himeno thought. She quickly hid the magazine in hands behind her, but it was too late. The guy walked towards her, hand holding a magazine.

That was the way they agreed on to recognize one another.

"You are "Blue Spirit" right? I saw you walking towards the bridge and I reckon that you are the one I am waiting for." He walked beside Himeno.

That was absolutely right, "Blue Spirit" was her chat name.

A light breeze blew past and the odour on the male was unbearable and makes one feel like puking. Himeno immediately regretted agreeing to meet up with him. She should have heeded Sasame's warning. From the start, Sasame had already told her to be careful when she was surfing the Net.

"Why aren't you speaking? I am so happy having to meet you." He smiled and showed a set of yellow teeth that was stained by excessive smoking.

"I feel very warm today, I didn't think that..." She quickly closed her mouth, moving away from him.

"Let's take a walk in the forest. I think it will be much more cooling in there."

"Fine with me." Himeno took a look at the surrounding. Although this wasn't really a quiet place, but there are quite a lot of people around. They reached a juncture where it split the road into two.

"Which side should we take?" He asked Himeno.

"This way," pointing towards the right side. If they took the left road, they will reach the swing. She did not want anyone to know about that place. Anyway there are more people on the right side, so it will be much safer.

"You are just as cute as your name. Being able to meet such a cute girl is my pleasure. Hope that we could meet up as often as possible."

"I am very busy. I don't think that we could meet up often. And I have to go home soon." Himeno quickly answered.

After hearing that, the guy stopped abruptly in his steps and slowly took a step at a time. Each step brought him nearer and nearer to Himeno. Himeno backed away until her back was leaning against a tree.

"Let's make friends. I will treat you nicely..."

"I've got to go now" Himeno tried to run. She took large and swift steps, but she was no match for a guy. He grabbed hold of her hand. Himeno screamed for help and a motorbike's engine seemed to be nearing the place Himeno was. Himeno fell and her shirt ripped from the back, one straight line down.

Suddenly, a motor came out of nowhere and the rider came driving towards the guy. The guy was afraid, so he turned and run. But he tripped over a root.

Before he picked himself up, the rider grabbed his collar and gave him a punch right on his face. That guy begged for mercy.

"Get out of my sight right now. And don't ever let me see you in here again. If I do, you don't hope to walk out of here alive!" the rider said warningly.

The guy picked himself up and ran away.

The rider took off his helmet. Only then Himeno realized that the rider was Hayate, the "angel" guy.

Hayate's eye had a surprising look in it. Neither of them moved nor spoke. Hayate's lip moved, trying to say something but he did not say it aloud. He took out a helmet and windbreaker from the back of his bike. He passed it to Himeno and told her gently: "Don't be afraid, it is alright now. Come on, wear them and I will bring you home."

This sentence has decided the fate between them.

Although what happened just now was something that could make Himeno scared, she did not cry. But after hearing what Hayate said, tears came out.

She wore the windbreaker while Hayate help her to strap on the helmet. He did not know that Himeno's tears were pouring out from her eyes.

"Sit tight and grab my waist!" Hayate told Himeno when both of them were on the bike.

Himeno did not dare to see her surrounding and everything that went past her was a blur. She buried her head in Hayate's back and her grip on his waist tightened.

After ten minutes, he stopped the bike and brought her into a clothing store. He showed her into the fitting room and told the salesgirl to take a shirt for Himeno to change into.

"Thank you."

"Give me your house number so that I can call you to return you the money for the shirt." Himeno told Hayate once they are outside the store.

"If that is the reason, I will not give you my number." Hayate replied.

"It is getting late now. I will send you home now." Hayate told Himeno.

"It is alright. My house is nearby. I will walk home." Himeno replied.

"Ok. Then take care of yourself in the future. Bye." He strapped on his helmet and rode away, with Himeno staring at his back.
