Without a trace

"What do you mean it's too late and he's gotta clean slate?" Selendrile asked confused.

Selendrile has been Hayate's best friend since the first day of Knighthood Class. They still are inseparable as young men. Well at least they were. (Hungry? eat a Twix!) Now that Satoshi had done what he did, their friendship was not going to be the same. Satoshi didn't answer. "……………"

Selendrile was getting impatient. "I want to know where my best friend is, damn it!"

'Where is Hayate?' Selendrile wondered.

"I….I sent him to earth….and I-..I erased….his memory. I'm Sorry." Satoshi felt terrible. 'Maybe I shouldn't have done that. Did i go too far…..? What have I done?'

Selendrile was quiet and Satoshi was beginning to worry.

Selendrile:………….

Satoshi: sweating nervously.

"WHAT DID YOU DO!" Selendrile screamed while gripping up Satoshi.

"Look, Selendrile, i really am sorry but …Let Go of me!" Satoshi yelled.

Fang Grabbed Selendrile from behind and pulled him off his master.

"Sorry. Lost my Temper. Forgive me Mr.Mouko." (i don't know Hayate's last name srry)

"No, It's my fault. I should have least have consulted you before i acted. I didn't consider how you would feel."

"Okay , save the Hallmark moment and tell me what happened to Hayate."

"Yes. Well he was going to marry an alternate pretear & she was still a commoner so it is not acceptable in the Knight Code. He had been acting rebellious for days and would not listen so I had to keep him from that girl by force."

"Absurd. Who was the girl, though?"

"You think it was absurd? Well, perhaps-"

"Hello? Dude, who was the broad?"

"Oh. I think it was Hemino. Pink hair, tulip-shaped head…"

"Hm. Well, I'm off." Selendrile waved his hand at Satoshi as he turned his back and began to walk away.

"W-Wait! Where are you going?" Satoshi asked.

"Earth. Going to get Hayate. There must be a way i can get him to remember. There's surely a reverse spell, right?" Just as Satoshi was about to answer the door shut behind Selendrile.

"Sire!" Tric called out. "He does not know of the spell. The spell that cannot be reversed."

"I know, Tric. But there's no stopping him now. That boy is just as stubborn as Hayate."

:Morning:

"Zzz-…-snort-…hhhhuuu …Yawn….." Hemino woke up at 8:17 a.m. 'Weird. I don't remember anything from last night. Wait a minute…'

"I'm gonna be late for school! Crap!"

Hemino hurriedly got dressed and ran down to the dinning room. Mawata, Mayune,& Hemino's Mom and Dad were already at the table finishing breakfast. Hemino immediately put on a smile. "Good morning, family!" she called out.

"Oh, good morning, Ms. Hemino." said the maid, Chikage.

"Good morning, Hemino." Her mom and dad said at the same time. They were their usual romantic-stuffing-each-other-food-selves.

Mawata, for once said good morning as well. And Mayune had her usual resentful attitude. Hemino smiled to herself. Hemino's step sisters got up and left the dinning room-heading for school. 'Oh. I guess they're going to school…Oh…wait...School!'

Hemino grabbed her plate, tilted it upward letting the food slide into her mouth. She then gulped down the milk and darted for the door.

As she was rushing through the garden, she saw a middle-aged man working as the gardener. 'Hmmm…something about gardeners…'

"Oh well! Its probably just a case of dejavu." Hemino kept on walking to the spot where she was going to race the limousine. 'Hugh…I don't feel like it today. I'll just take the Septa bus to school. But I am still gonna be late! Ugh!' Hemino thought to herself. This time she sighed aloud and frowned. She walked to the bus stop. As she was waiting at the bus stop, she heard a young man's voice say, "Hey..." directed in her direction. Then, seconds later, she heard a muffled yelp and quiet cry of agony. Hemino turned around, curious of what was going on right behind her back. "Mawata!"

Mawata looked up, and smiled at Hemino. "Hello," she said. Her eyes dropped back to the ground. Hemino followed her gaze. "Who's that?" Hemino asked.

"I don't know," Mawata replied. "He was right behind you and he looked suspicious; like he was about to do something, so I did a move on him. I've been meaning to practice anyway."

"Just because he looked sus-…" Hemino cut off. He really did look suspicious. He was wearing a trench coat for goodness sake. And in the middle of broad daylight too. "Wait a minute Mawata…What are you doing here in the first place? You should be at school by now."

"Well, I didn't see you running so I got out the car and went looking for you. I was afraid you had ran into a pole again. When I was walking I saw this guy," she said pointing to the trench-coat-man. "and I think you know the rest."

Hemino was looking at Mawata in a strange way. Mawata started to get nervous and smiled. "What is it?"

Ever since the big 'Tree of Fenril', Mawata went back to her normal self. Her true normal self; before she was in the depression- of-her-fathers-death state. It was like meeting the real Mawata. The one before wasn't real at all. But of course, neither one of them remembered anything about that.

Hayate woke up from a dream that had a garden full of pink tulips.

"What a weird dream….." he said himself.

"Hayate, are you finally awake? today's your first day of school." yelled a woman's voice.

"I'll be right down, Aunt Neese!" Hayate yelled back. He got dressed in black pants and a button up shirt of the color green. Hayate ran down stairs, grabbed a toast, and was about to run out the door when his aunt grabbed his hair. "What are you doing? I have to take a picture of you! It's your first day of your last year of high school."
Hayate stepped back. "I'm not sure i understood that."

"Oh, don't be so stubborn!"

"Fine." Hayate stood straight up and forced the corner of his mouth to go up 1 centimeter.

"I guess I'll take what I can get from you. I suppose I'm not saying 'say cheese!' ?"

"Probably not." said Hayate and grinned at the comment. Just then his aunt took the picture and a big flash went off. Hayate suddenly collapsed and covered his eyes. Flashes of light kept going through his mind. 'Flashes of light? what does all this mean?' he thought. Hayate! Hayate, don't forget me! 'A girl's voice?'

"Hayate!" his aunt yelled.

"Hemino!" Hayate suddenly screamed.

"Hayate, are you alright? Who's Hemino?"

"Huh!" Hayate had just snapped back to reality.

"You were just screaming out the name Hemino." Aunt Neese explained.

"I was? Who's Hemino?"

"You don't remember?"

"No……."
