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 3

"Bring bring…bring bring…bring bring…bring bring"

"Uhhhrrr, Go away" Himeno grumbled as she rolled over, over onto Takako.

"Arrggg, Himeno get off of me."

"What…" Himeno jumped up and getting caught in the sheets and falling on her ass.

"Ouch!"

"Don't worry I got it. Hello this is the Leaf residence how may I help you...hu? Yes I am Mawata Leaf…oh yes I remember now, you and I meet on the bus yesterday, how are you?...that's good …"

Yawning Himeno ignored the rest of the conversation; since Mawata had insisted on a phone it seemed that it was always ringing, their employers, boys, school or (shudder) phone salesmen

She fell back onto her and her soul sisters futon, accidentally falling on her again.

"Ahhhh, I give up, I'm getting up there is no chance for a sleep in while you're around." Takako yelled at Himeno as she pushed her off the futon so she could get free.

"You are such a grumpily morning person you know that?"

"Why you..." she picked up a pillow and WHAM

"Hay, no striking a girl when she is down." Jumping up she grabbed her own pillow "attack!"

From the kitchen Mawata heard the commotion and smiled as she ate, you would think after 3 months they would have started to be more mature.

But then where would the fun be. She pushed away her bowl walked towards their room grabbing a couch cushion along the way.

"All for one and one for all." She too entered the fray.

"Class please meet Shin, Hajime and Mannen Pret, they are visiting cousins of the Awayuki's so please be polite." The principle called out to the junior assembly.

Since the incident as both family and friend were calling it, the younger knights had become cold and withdrawn, Mannen of course pretended he was all right, but got into more trouble then ever, Hajime was suffering nightmares of being left alone and Shin, Shin just refused to talk

Hayate and the older knights had lasted a month before they caved in and went searching for the girls, each taking their own direction. While they did this they felt it would be best if the younger ones stayed with the Awayuki family in case the girls returned. Natsue and Kouru jumped at the chance, they felt that if they took on the younger knights they could make up for there treatment of Himeno and in return Mawata. They felt this was their entire fault and wanted to repent.

So that is how the boys came to be stuck up in front of the school, eyes cold and faces calm. This was her school, they were living in her house and even at their home the memories of her surrounded them.

'So this is what it is like to lose a mother' Mannen thought as he looked coldly over the school. 'How did she survive it?' With this thought he turned and walked out of the hall ignoring the principles cries as he did so.

"Yayoi, are you ok? You don't look so well?" her math teacher asked her as she watched Mannen leave the school grounds.

"Hu? Oh sorry sir, I am just fine."

"If you are sure, now please class Go to page 54, today we are to study the suns gravity…"

As his voice blurred as only a really boring teachers voice can Yayoi could not help but remember.

Flashback

Himeno and Mawata had not been gone now for a week and roomers were flying at school, and Yayoi had been watching the reactions of everyone involved very closely, she was worried. Even Mayune was acting weird; she was really beginning to be afraid for the girl. She just seemed to refuse to admit what had happened. Keep calm Yayoi no one knows you know yet.

Spotting Mayune walking towards her rolls Yayoi decided it was time to take action and hoped into the car right after her.

"Why you …Yayoi?" Mayune was stunned.

"What is going on where is Himeno or while we are on that matter where is Mawata? The entire school is talking and I want, no I need to know!" Mayune turned her head away as she said those words that hurt her so very badly.

"They ran away, mother Kouru even the servants found a letter or email to them. Looks like we were left out of the loop though, I mean why would I…I deserve a…a…an explanation as to why they left me all alone. Was it my fault? Was I so jealous that I drove them away, is that why. Why? Why?" she fell on to Yayoi's lap and cried her thought to be non-existent heart out. "I miss Mawata and her scolding and Himeno and her temper. It is all so cold; I never wanted this, never. I just wanted them to pay attention to me, they seemed so close and I was left out as always, oh god WHY?" Yayoi was crying too by then and together they cried.

And in the front seat Mr. Takanaka cried also.

End Flashback

Yayoi sighed, she just had to wait for them to come back and she hoped it was soon, she really sucked at this whole spy thing. She had already informed Himeno that she was considering blabbing, but Himeno just had to trust her didn't she. This sucked and made it impossible for her to blab, damn best friends. When all this was over Himeno owed her big time

"hiya"

"opphh"

"yahhhhh"

"ha"

"God you two, don't you ever get tired of sparing" Mawata called from the back door where she had been watching for the last hour.

"This is how I pay the bills, as you know, so it is only smart that I get practice out side the dojo." Himeno responded taking her drink bottle.

"Being a waitress is dangerous, there are so many perverts out their and doing this has really raised my confidence." She smiled sweetly "by the way how is your job going at the dancing school?"

"Ok, none are as bad as Himeno so it is a breeze."

"Hay that was uncalled for."

Mawata and Takako just laughed, when suddenly Takako stopped and looked over her shoulder in slight fear.

"Takako?" Mawata asked quietly only to be silenced by Himeno who lipped one word that filled her with dread. Knights.

"Oh shit"

The other two nodded, gulped and ran for the house.
