Jealousy
Hayate and Sasame were alone talking about Hayate's issue with Himeno being Pre'tear. Hayate went on and on how she is too careless and that she doesn't listen. This was all a lie and Sasame knew it. Sasame had a good hunch that Hayate was in love with Himeno by just the way Hayate's heart seemed to jump every time the Wind Knight was near Himeno. There were advantages of being the Knight of Sound, you can hear when people's heart starts beating fast, you can hear when people are nervous, and you can pretty much hear anything that you needed to. However, there is a terrible burden on the body when you try to pin point out a single sound out of billions, and Sasame knew it all too well. There were many of times that he used his powers to the point of nearly killing him, but Sasame didn't seemed to mind he always had on a nice smiling face. Hayate's heart began to scream at him because all of the nasty words he was saying about Himeno. 'Why are you once again being mean to her? She is trying her best to be a good Pre'tear. ' Hayate wanted to tare himself to shreds because of all of all the mean things he has said to the person he cares most for. Hayate played with the ends of his hair. Not to long ago he cut off his long midnight ponytail. Sadly, Hayate will not tell any one why he all of the sudden cut off two feet of his hair. Sasame however believes it was to cut all his guilt was with Takako. Hayate however refused to tell the reasoning to anyone even his life long best friend.
All of the sudden Hayate felt a ping in his heart. He grabbed a hold of his chest and whispered "Himeno", then started to fly as fast as he could to his Pre'tear leaving is best friend behind. Sasame stood there and tried to focus on Himeno, when he released that he could not even hear her heat beat that something was wrong. Both Hayate and Sasame speed toward the princess's balcony as fast as their bodies could take them.
Himeno had asked for Yurie the maid to join her. Yurie agreed and then dropped an apple. The maid slowly went for the apple. The apple started to admit a dark aura. As soon as the maid picked up the apple it melted into her hand and the demon larva sprouted out of the young maid's back. "Thank you very much. This makes me so happy." Yurie grinned "I've been really hungry." Himeno was shocked the maid that she saw every single day, who did nothing but her job was now trying to kill Himeno. With a flick of the maid's wrist claws sprouted from her fingers. She lunged and went for an attack. Himeno just barely dodged the attack and feathers flew through the room. "Why are you running from me, Miss Himeno? You did invite me for dinner." Yurie toyed with the princess. "I'm sorry, but I am not you dinner." Himeno moved away from her maid. Yurie walked over to a potted plant and tore out a chunk of the flowers. "Why Miss Himeno, people have Leafe too. To the Princess of Disaster they are no different then this plant here. And the Pre'tear is particularly delicious." She crushed the flowers in her hand. "How cruel." sobbed the Pre'tear 'To help her, I need to transform into the Pre'tear. I need to contact the Knights.' "Sasame, guys I need you!" shouted Himeno at the top of her lungs. Yurie tilted her head and chuckled "Don't waste your time, Princess. I've already eaten up all of the Leafe of sound that is all around this house. I wouldn't want those pesky Leafe Knights to interfere, you know. Your Knights in shinning armor are not going to come to your rescue." She approached Himeno and began to mess with the Pre'tear's dusty rose colored hair. "Well then, Miss Himeno it's time for me to take your Leafe. But it would be such a waste to take it away from you. I'm going to make you a puppet, just like I am." Yurie grinned.
Himeno tried to move away from the poor maid. 'She's going to make me into a puppet. To be nothing but a doll for the Princess of Disaster.' Himeno shook. 'Will this be how my life will end? Being nothing but a minion to Princess of Disaster… A person who would bring death and who will destroy the world? Would I be the one who would destroy Yayoi and every one else? No, I can not handle that.' Himeno ran out to her balcony, trying to escape from possessed maid. 'I will not be a toy for the Princess of Disaster. I am afraid to die, however I would rather die then destroy the ones I love.' "I am not going to loose to the Princess of Disaster, I would rather die!" With that Himeno leaped of the balcony with out any regrets. Right before Himeno hit the ground Hayate grabbed a hold of the tiny Princess' torso. Himeno turned red as the Wind Knight held her tight. "Hayate!" she squeaked. "You Tulip Headed Valley Girl Moron! What will we do if you die on us?" He growled. Sasame added "He is right, Himeno." Sasame gave her a weak grin. Hayate held Himeno tighter as the maid floated down to where the Princess and two of her Knights were. 'Why is Hayate holding me so tight? He hates me doesn't he?' Himeno blushed 'It's because I am the Pre'tear. That is right I am just the Pre'tear to him, nothing more then that. There is no way he could love me.' Himeno's thought was interrupted by her maid "That was not very nice. You're interrupting my meal. And I am so very hungry!" Hayate sat his princess down and retorted "If you eat her you will get food poisoning." Himeno nearly elbowed him in the gut. 'How dare he say something as mean as that. What kind of man is he?' Sasame pulled Himeno close to him. "That's right. Even though she is she is so cute I just want to eat her up." Himeno was in disbelief 'He must be joking. With that poker face I could never tell if Sasame is joking or not.' Sasame's statement made the demon maid laugh.
The maid started her attack on Himeno and the nights once again. Hayate returned the attack shooting a razor sharp wind cutting the poor pawn's arm. Himeno started to cry 'I can not let someone get hurt because of me. She is just an innocent pawn in all of this. Once again people are getting hurt because of me.' "Hayate, please stop!" Himeno squeaked. Hayate turned to his princess "But she tried to kill you" He growled. "It's not her fault!" Himeno retorted. Yurie started to list all of everything she hated about Himeno, how she couldn't stand how there was nothing special about Himeno. Himeno listened to all that the poor maid had to say "What she said is true. My dad got remarried, and suddenly I'm a wealthy young lady. Having people bow to me and drive me in a car makes it seem like I am so special. However, that doesn't mean I am ALL that special. Even I'd be jealous if it didn't happen to me. It's all like something out of a fairy tale. But, I am an outsider here. This kind of life and values are so different, I will never get used to it. Sure, I am good at the martial arts, but that has nothing compared to Mawata can do. So I can understand why you are so upset, Yurie. That's something anyone can understand. It's perfectly. But people don't kill each other over something like that. It's the Disaster Princess who is making Yurie want to kill me. What does the real Yurie want to do?" The pawn started to cry "Help me, please." Himeno asked for Hayate's help to save her poor maid. Hayate and Himeno merged into the Pre'tear of the wind and destroyed the demon seed off of Yurie's back. The maid collapsed on the spot.
