Prettyinpinkgal: Hi! Here's the first chapter of "Chronicles"! I know that Himeno and a certain person don't really look alike, but oh well:) (If you don't know who or what I mean, you'll get it later) Anyway, please enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Pretear, because it'd be totally longer than 4 books and 13 episodes!

CHRONICLES OF A MOON PRINCESS

CHAPTER ONE: A FEELING

Himeno Awayuki walked to the place she first met the Leafe Knights. It'd been two months since Takako became normal, and one would believe that the Pretear's job was finished. And it was, with the exception of a few stray Demon Larvae that wandered around, trying to suck Leafe. They were always quick to get rid of, though.

The sixteen-year-old sighed as she sat on the edge of the water. She couldn't shake off this feeling that something weird was going on, that something was going to happen. Some of it felt like something bad, the rest of the feeling was something she could not describe.

Himeno sighed again. "Oh, geez," she muttered. "I wish I could know what the heck is gonna happen, then this stupid feeling would quit bugging me like it has been for the past week." She started to practice her karate to get it to go away, but it stubbornly held onto the front of Himeno's brain. "ARRGH!" Himeno cried as she plopped herself down again.

"What's wrong with you, Tulip Head? Do you know how loud you are when you scream like that?" A voice moaned behind Himeno.

"WAAAH!" The redhead jumped up and kicked the person in the face, sending him backwards and onto the ground. She looked down on the person, only to see that it was Hayate, who was struggling to get up.

Himeno automatically blushed, embarrassed that she did that to him, of all people, although she had certainly done that enough to him and had not been embarrassed, just really annoyed.

"What was that for!" Hayate yelled at her when he got up.

"Sorry! It's a reflex. Besides, that's what happens when you sneak up on me like that!" Himeno cried, now trying to defend herself.

"Geez, you can be so weird, Tulip Head."

"It's also for calling me Tulip Head again! How long will it take for you to learn that my name is Himeno!"

Hayate did a fake, polite bow. "My apologies, Miss Himeno."

Himeno stuck her tongue at him. They had started acting like this about a month ago, when they were sure they weren't going to lose each other again. Hayate still hadn't told her what he wanted to say. She hadn't really asked, because she could tell he would never be able to tell her, but she didn't want him to know she knew what he was going to say, because she was afraid that he might deny it, although everyone knew that it was true.

'Besides,' Himeno would think. 'It's the man's job to tell the woman!'

"Are you okay?" Hayate asked as Himeno zoned off again.

She snapped back to reality and gave him a big smile. "I'm fine! Please don't worry about me, Hayate."

Hayate blushed and stuttered, "W-Well, if you ever feel like something's bothering you, tell me okay?"

Himeno blushed in return. "Yeah, I know. Actually, something is bugging me. It's a weird feeling. I feel like something is going to happen, something bad and something that I just don't really know how to describe. Sort of like I'm going to figure out something about myself. Weird, huh?"

Hayate nodded. "I'll tell the others. We don't want to take any chances."

"Okay. See ya, then."

"Hayate turned to head back to Leafenia, when Himeno called, "Hey, Hayate?"

He looked back at her. "Yeah?"

"Thanks for listening. It felt good to get that off my chest." Himeno gave him a genuine smile this time.

Hayate smiled a little back. It always made Himeno's heart stop.

Once he was gone, Himeno went back to her thoughts. What was happening? And why did she feel like she would find out something about herself? She already knew herself.

…Didn't she?
