To Be Strong.

With the princess of disaster gone and Takako back to normal, Himeno feels out of place, dose she still belong with them now that she is no longer needed and what of her secret vision of the queen of chaos? The mother of disaster.

p.s. I haven't seen the actual anime yet, only read the manga and fanfic so some things might not mach sorry.

Chap 2

The train seemed so slow, but then again it might be the fact that she was just worried. But Himeno felt she had every right to be worried when everyone found her letter, Mawata's email and Takako's message.

Looking out the window Himeno wondered how they were taking it.

"I will hunt her down and make her explain what she is thinking in that damn tulip head of hers!" Hayate was mad, very mad.

"Calm down, you read her note just like the rest of us. She asked we do not follow." Kei looked at Hayate his calmness seeming to rub Hayate the wrong way but before he could make a cutting comment Kei went for the kill. "And the little ones need us at the moment, she was a mother to them remember. They need us to be calm for them. Their in pain, just as much as you are."

"I hate this."

"We all do. But for now, dose Sasame know that Takako is gone?"

"I think so, he hasn't come out of his room yet, he most probably heard shins cries of denial earlier." Hayate confirmed.

"This is going to be tough." Kei whispered and walked out before Hayate could ask him what.

The last thing her heard before he left leafeania was the sound of shattering glass and cries for Himeno.

In the mansion, nobody even knew yet. It had become habit for Himeno to skip breakfast with the family and by ordering the servants and that bald man who worked for her, Natsue made sure she was always late for dinner. She knew it was rude of her but just being around that girl, she was afraid and she hoped that it was all one big nightmare but she knew it wasn't but maybe is she pretended enough she could convince herself. Then maybe she could accept Kaoru's daughter.

But she could not help but wonder why Mawata was eating in her room? It was very impolite of her and rather out of character.

But Natsue told herself not to worry, it was probably nothing.

With a smile she picked up her coffee and started to sip when…

"Miss Natsue Miss Natsue" she turned her head, it was Mawata's personal maid.

"Yes?"

"Forgive me miss, but I can't find Miss Mawata or Miss Himeno anywhere!"

"WHAT" both parents cried as they rose from the table.

Mawata behind her calm face was loving this. They were going to go where no one knew her where she would not be held to social etiquette, where she could find herself as a person and not worry about people using her, for they won't know who she is. She was going to be free and she was really looking forward to working she wanted to see why her mother found it so more desirable then her daughter. This took her smile away and her eyes misted.

"Mother most probably doesn't even know I am gone."

"Don't be ridiculous Mawata. I bet the servants have already informed her and collecting the smelling salts as we speak. She may not seem too concerned but I think you're her pride and joy, a lady just like herself." Himeno told her with a smile. Takako who had also met Miss Natsue at the celebration party, nodded.

"Thanks" and Mawata smiled a real smile and the waves of depression lessened.

"No problem." Himeno said with a smile

Takako watching could only smile that sad smile of hers.

'Were all emotional cripples, this is going to be an interesting journey of self discovery.'

"Hay Kei is that you? Kei, Kei wait up." Yayoi cried out as she raced to catch up with him but he seemed really out of it he didn't even notice her.

Stopping she just sighed as he continued to walk away.

"So the letter was true Himeno? Damn you." She whispered to herself.

"Mother mother."

"What is it Mayune, have the police found them?"

"No mother, it's an email, from Mawata."

"Give that here!" Natsue quickly rose from her place on the bed, her warm face cloth falling to her lap unnoticed as she took Mayune's laptop and started to read.

"This…this can not be she ran away?" eyes glazed she fell back onto the bed leaving the laptop to fall at her feet open with this message.

Mother forgive me but I am running away with Himeno for I do not approve of her treatment and need some time alone myself. I have also sent a letter to police chief Washugi saying we just wanted freedom.

Forgive me and us, we shall return.

Mawata.

"Finally off that train, I thought I was going insane." Himeno said as she stretched on the platform.

"So what do we do now?" Takako asked passively looking around at every one.

"Food, shopping for Mawata didn't get a chance to grab anything and has kidnapped my laptop, hotel and then jobs."

"Jobs? But what skills do we have that can get us jobs?" Takako asked, looking nervous.

"There is really no need if you don't want to. Father left me quite a little fortune in hiss will and since I have put it into the stock market, government bonds real estate and oil rigs, I have enough to support us all." Mawata told them calm as ever.

"You can't expect us to live off you? We will work, there are always jobs for waitresses" Takako decided.

"I am with Takako on this one, and anyway you came to escape the social classes and all that aren't you." Himeno demanded.

"Well I was planning on working myself anyway, but I am buying a house!"

"Well when I find a job then, I will pay for food."

"And I the bills."

"Fine" they all glared at each other, then burst out laughing. Time to start their new life, in Tokyo.
