Hey! Back and here's Chapter 2!

Chapter Two-

Her Deepest Desires and the One of Dreams

(Himeno PoV)

Backing away, I tripped over the rug and fell to the hard wood floor.

"Kris, No not again, please, stay away!" I was stuttering,Why? I know why. Kris was our nextdoor nieghbor at our old nieghbor hood. I just relized why Mayune called it the dirty part of town.

Kris's strawberry blonde hair had specks of dirt in it and his clothes looked like they were never washed.

And me. In the maids uniform looking much cleaner then he when I had spent the last half hour cleaning foyer bathroom.

"Come on babe. You know you wanna ditch this place. Your my Princess, remember?"He tried to pursuade me to leave with him.

"Kris,Im your EX-girlfriend. I broke up with you 3 months ago."I muttered just loud enough for him to hear.

"Oh, come on Himeno! Stop daydreaming Princess."

"Dont call me Princess." I put it shortly before beginning to close the door.

He put his hand out to stop it,"But thats what you are now, Princess."

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" I screamed and I slammed the door shut.

I probably shouldnt have been so rude but that guy just wont get a clue. That was my worst nightmare of all, Kris found out where I lived. Now he wont leave me alone!

I finished my daily chores and was told by Queen Natsue to go to my room and take a nap, I have night duty.

"Where am I?" I wandered through the beautiful feilds of flowers and trees and came to one tree in peticular the looked different from the rest. Accually a whole forest of different trees.

But the tree right in front, the tree with a large whole in the center, drew her attention the most. These trees were not like the other to the extent the looked as though they were made of clouds, like in a dream.

I traveled across what looked like a bridge of clouds,in blues and pinks.

I hesitated at the enterance, and began to turn back when I heard and faint laugh behind me.

"Hello again, Himeno." Said The voice of Hayate.

"No!" I turned to see 8 pairs of blood red eyes starring at me.

"I dont think Ive been introduced, Hayate." Said a female voice, "Hello Himeno, I am Meiya the Leafe Knight of Dreams. I know everyone's most innermost desires."

I shivered at the thought of her knowing what I really wanted.

"Ah, well no need to give away what you want until youre DEAD!" All the knights grew claws and fangs, their faces became distorted in anger.

They all lunged at once, Goh grabbed me by my waist and I felt his claws dig into my pale skin.

All the other also came from behind, grabbed me with their claws. I was screamind in pain when I relized only one knight had not grabbed me, Hayate.

He walk closer and closer the extended the claw on his index finger. It was longer then the others. He took his finger and light made a straight line across my neck.

"Please, No!"I screamed as he made the line even deeper. He contined until I passed out from blood lose. Then I had a dream about Kris and Yaoyi. All of my friends.

Then they all got smaller and smaller and I felt as though I couldnt breathe. As though someone had punctured my lung. I took deep breathe after deep breathe but it seem as though my condition got worse and worse.

When my friend disappeared completely I heard a voice say," I am the Princess Of Disaster and you are my Puppet of Fright. Fear the ones called the Leafe Knights. I have come, to save your life. Listen to me, FEAR THE KNIGHTS!"

I opened my eyes the split second before I died and all I saw were eight faces starring down at me with a look of utmost hate on every face.

I awoke with a start. Why do I keep dreaming about these Leafe Knights? Just as my though ended my father came into the room and told me that I will not be the only one on night duty like they thoought, they hired a new butler.

"Okay, where is he?" I questioned in a grogy voice.

"Right here."Said a voice that seem a little familiar. I opened my eyes to get a good look at him then screamed.

"Daddy save me!" I ran to my father and jumped behind him.

"Oh, Princess, dont worry hes fine." Said her father cheerfully, then he yawned and excused himself.

"Hello, Im..." I but him off in mid sentace, as I jumped behind a maids bed.

"Your not by any chance Hayate are you?" I gave him a suspicious look.

"How did you know?" He glared.

"Ummmm...I...Uhhhh..."

"Are you a stalker?" He looked at her strangly.

My eyes grew wide at his question,"Of course not!"

"My name is Himeno Awayuki! Im the Princess, in punishment..."

"Ah I see, your her?" He began to study my features,"Do you know any martial art?"

"Ye...wait...why should I tell you...Youre a stupid 'Leafe Knight'." I accused.

"Yes I am now answer my question." I backed away from him quickly.

"Answer mine first! Why do you wanna kill me huh? Answer that!" I screamed.

"Kill you? Youre insane, Why would we want to kill the Pretear?"

"Decause that lady said that you should!"

"Whay lady?"

"That Princess Lady!"

It went like that for awhile, until Natsue came to the kitchen to tell us to shut up and get cleaning.

We worked in silence for a while. When he didnt speak up I did.

"So, whyd you get a job here?" I inquired.

"So I could tell you about the Leafe Knights, but apparently I was not needed." He looked pissed off as he washed the grimy dishes.

"Sorry, but the lady, this Princess Lady, she kept saying stuff in my head like 'I am the Princess of Disaster and you are my Puppet of Fright. Fear the ones called the Leafe Knights.' I did because she showed me images of the Leafe Knights killing me." I explained.

"T-The Princess of Disaster! She got to you before me!" Hayate now looked as though he had been hit in the head with a baseball bat.

"Who? Who IS this Princess of Disaster?"

"The Princess of Disaster comes out every now and then but now of all times...thats another BIG reason why we need the Pretear. But most of all, you cant listen to her, The Leafe Knights protect Leafe, the base of life. And the Princess of Disaster steals and uses Leafe for her own selfish evil reasons." Hayate explained,"Dont listen to her!"

"Okay! Okay! I wont!"

"PROMISE!"

"I promise I wont OKAY!" I was really getting annoyed.

I turned back to my pile of silver ware and began putting them away as Hayate piled more clean ones on top.

After about 3 hours we still had to put the already clean dishes away. Hayate came over to help me when he popped a question that didnt make sense," Soooo, will you do it?"

"Do what?" I was getting annoyed from all of his secrecy.

"Be the Pretear..."

"Sorry but I have my own obligations..." I snapped just as we were finishing," Good Night."

"Fine!" He yelled and turned towards the front door.

"..."I turned toward my room, then back to the direction Hayate went...Maybe I could use some adventure in my life.

"I'll just follow him back to where ever hes going and tell him that I'll do it." I whispered to myself.

I followed him all the way through the forest and saw him go up to a rather large tree...He knocked 3 times and a door appear.

He looked around and I dodged behind another tree.

I heard another voice say,"Are you alone Hayate?"

"Duh Sasame."

"Will she do it?"

"Nah."

"WAIT" I yelled,"I...wi...ll"

"Y-you will?" Hayate looked devastated.

"Yeah, for a while now all I wanted is to have thing back to the way they were when I was aloud to where jeans and stuff, But now, I think, I wanna help you guys out."

I didnt know why...but all the sudden my deepest desire was to help...to help everyone.

Ok thats all now! Till next time!
