Chapter Two - I'll do it!

"Me?" Himeno asked "You want me to become prêtear?" she asked shocked by the severity of the situation and what Sasame had just asked her to do. Himeno looked away from the all at the floor, thinking. Himeno knew she had nearly died last time. Himeno also knew she had always been afraid.

"Himeno?" Sasame asked a little confused. Sasame hadn't expected her to be hesitant like this, he believed she would have jumped at the chance. Yet here she was hesitating. Sasame waited and felt then Himeno wouldn't become the Prêtear.

"We don't need the Prêtear" Hayate said breaking the silence, he had transformed from his battle clothes to his everyday ones, his hand were in his pockets and he was turned away from them 'There is no way she is going through that again' he thought to himself.

"Hayate!" Sasame gasped out. All the other knights looked at him what was he saying of course they needed her. The entire world needed her, if there was any other way…but there wasn't this was the only way.

"Of course we need her" Kei said "We cant do this alone and we all know it. Our power's just aren't strong enough" he continued. "If the Prêtear cant win against the Prince, no-one can. The world will perish as we know it" he said calmly.

"Kei!" Sasame began looking at the children who looked scared and then to Himeno. Himeno's eyes were wide and she was looking confused. The effect of this conversation was having an undesired affect on her.

"They need to know, you saw what happened when we kept Takako from them" Kei folded his arms stubbornly, he wasn't wrong and he knew it.

"I…" Himeno began. Sasame and Kei were still arguing. "Please" Himeno began again looking up. Himeno walked forward and took hold of Sasame's arm. "Its fine. I don't want anyone to suffer. I'll become the Prêtear again" she said.

"Himeno" Sasame said gently a small smile gracing his face. Sasame wondered though if that was really the best thing for her, was this just going to end up in tragedy.

"Himeno!" Mawata shouted "Come on your making us late!" she shouted up the stairs her patience wearing thing, she was about ready to leave without her in a minute.

Himeno, meanwhile, was tearing around her bedroom picking up school things and pulling on her shows. "I'm Coming!" she shouted down to her younger-sister. Ever since Mawata had become a puppet for the Princess of Disaster her entire attitude had change. Himeno tore out of her bedroom flinging the doors open without looking. Himeno crashed into something solid. Down she fell and pushing herself up she winced. Then she gasped.

"Himeno!" Hayate growled pushing her off him, somehow she had ended up on top of him. "Watch where your going, Tulip Head" he stood and began brushing himself off, then he bent to pick up the packages that had fallen all over the floor.

"What were you doing stood outside my room!" Himeno yelled suddenly. Again Hayate found himself sprawled onto floor due to Himeno punching him…again. "You pervert!" she yelled then she rolled her eyes and ran off.

"what's the matter?" Mawata asked as she came charging down the stairs. Mawata cocked her head to the side slightly, and watched Himeno and she rambled on about Hayate, then she laughed.

"I'm sorry, its just funny" Mawata laughed again.

"What's so funny about it!" Himeno objected loudly. Pulling her bag onto her shoulder she left with Mawata and Mayune in the limo. Himeno and Mawata chatted a little and as Himeno got out of the car Mayune tripped her up for a joke. Himeno went flying and many of the girls heading into school began laughing. Himeno got up angrily but Mayune was already gone.

Himeno ran into school with Mawata just as the bell was ringing, little did they both know or expect that someone was watching them, someone from the shadows biding his time and waiting to strike.

"Another day at school over and done" Himeno said to herself happily. Himeno cocked her head to the side in thought, she had decided to walk home today, Mawata had gone ahead in the limo. For some reason she had wanted to be alone today. There's was something wrong, she could sense it. It worried her.

Then a pain shot through her stomach and she doubled over dropping her bag. Himeno's eyes widened. "Demon Larva?" she questioned holding her stomach. The pain grew more intense and she almost screamed as she fell to her knees holding her stomach and her heart.

"Himeno…I've heard so much about you" a sinister voice said. Himeno opened her eyes. Transport demons were fluttering on the floor in a purple carpet. This time Himeno did scream clutching her heart wildly it felt as though it was on fire, the very core of her soul was being ripped out.

"Who are you?" she managed to choke out, as she spoke her throat seemed to burn and tear. Himeno winced as she looked around she couldn't see anything, just transport demons. They pressed in onto her landing on her arms and legs and body.
"Hayate! Sasame!" Himeno yelled her throat going numb from pain and her voice cracking and disappearing all together.

"Your not ready for me Prêtear but heed my warning the next time we meet I will not be so generous. We will fight and you will perish. You will be Prêtear no more" the male voice said, his sinister voice ringing so clearly. Himeno looked up again, the transport demons formed a face…a face that looked familiar. The face smiled and began to laugh. Then the demons were swarming towards her, the face's mouth open and ready to swallow her.

"HAYATE!" Himeno screamed, the pain in her heart grew and grew. A rushing wind flew towards the girl and the demons, they scattered as a sound wave hit them. From her barely conscious state Himeno opened her eyes. A pair of dark clad feet met her gaze, then a pair of white clad feet. Her eyes travelled upwards. "Hayate" she whispered.

Sasame and Hayate touched down onto the ground sending attacks towards the transport demons as they did so. Soon enough the transport demons vanished in a wave of menacing laughter. They saw Himeno practically laying on the floor clutching a hand to her heart, her eyes wide and fearful. Hayate gasped and stooped to lift her as she fell unconscious. Sasame merely stared at Takako who was being lowered to the floor by Go, Kei stood beside them. The children staring at Himeno fearfully, wondering if she was dead.

"Hayate" Sasame began his voice cool and collected "I think Himeno needs to rest now don't you?" it wasn't really a question. Sasame nodded to him as Hayate took to the skies cradling Himeno. Turning to Takako he took her hand and as she began to cry pulled her into an embrace

"What have I done?" Takako whispered clinging to Sasame her eyes freely filled with tears her face clearly stricken. Sasame allowed a few moments of silence before he graced them with a reply.

"No" he said clearly "What have we done?"
