FIGHT HIMENO FIGHT
Chapter 2: The Flower Of White Leafe.
Tick Tock. Tick Tock.
Time went by very slowly. Seconds seemed like minutes, minutes seemed like hours, hours seemed like eternity! Ever since the knights brought Himeno into the Awayuki hospital with Himeno's family, they all could only wait. They explained to the doctors that Himeno fainted on her way home from school. Himeno's family knew that wasn't the truth but they said nothing until the doctors took Himeno away into the emergency room. The hallways were quite, but that silence didn't last very long.
"Uhhhh, this waiting is driving me insane! When are they going to tell us how Himeno is?" Mannen shouted breaking the silence.
"Ohhhhh, my poor baby girl. Himeno." Kaoru bawled with Natsue trying to comfort the concerned father. "P..please tell us what happened?" He directed to the knights.
"Well, to tell the truth we don't know exactly what happened ourselves. All we can say is that we were fighting a demon larva and after we defeated it Himeno fainted and began this fever." Kei said calmly even though he was far from calm at the moment.
"Poor Himeno." Shin said with tears in his eyes. Go tried to comfort him but it was far from the case for any of them.
Everyone became silent once again when a doctor in white came out of the emergency room Himeno was in.
"Doctor, please how is my daughter?" Natsue and Kaoru asked the doctor with great concern.
"Well, not much can be said at this time. She is still unconscious and has a fever of 102. The cause of it is unknown to us, so at this time we are at a stand still. We are giving her medication as we speck to fight the fever and we are taking her to a private room to rest." The doctor said. "Please follow me and I will show you to her room." The doctor turned and began to walk down the hallway to take them to Himeno.
"Aren't you guys coming to see Himeno?" Mawata asked the knights.
"We will let you have your time with Himeno first. Just go right ahead we will come later." Kei told Mawata. She nodded and walked after her family.
Just then Sasame and Takako came rushing in. "Hey everyone. Sasame got me as fast as he could, where is Himeno? Is she okay?" Takako asked concerned for her friend. Ever since the white pretear incident Himeno and Takako became good friends.
"Well, Himeno's family just went to go see her. We want to let them have some time alone with her. And that also brings us to our next topic!" Go said know pointing his attention to Kei. "Kei, why did you lie to Himeno's family?"
"I did not exactly lie. I just did not tell them the whole story." Kei said know about to lose it from all the stress. "Look Himeno's family is worried enough they don't need to know the story in total detail at this time. But our main concern at the time should be what in the world really did happen and how? And as well as how we can help Himeno at this point?"
"So far all we know is that Himeno was struck by the demon larva and just after the fight was over she fainted and began the fever!" Sasame said to recap the situation and everyone kept quite trying to think of an answer. Just then Sasame froze with a look of pure terror on his face, then he shuddered when Takako touched her hand to his shoulder. "…It c…can't be!" He could barely whisper. "Where is Himeno know?" Sasame shouted catching everyone off guard by the loudness of his voice.
"Damn it Sasame! Did you have to scare the life right out of us? Oh well, the doctor took Himeno's family off in that direction!" Go said and then pointed in the way the doctor went a few minutes ago. And just as he did so, Sasame took off running and left the knights and Takako baffled. They said nothing, but only looked at each other and took off running after Sasame, wondering what in the world got into him!
The knights and Takako were to wrapped up in worrying about Himeno and her health, to notice that something or someone evil was lurking around the next corner. It listened in on everything they talked about ever since they all arrived at the hospital. "Hehe!" It chuckled maliciously. "Everything is going according to plan! Perfect!" And with that it disappeared as unnoticed as it had appeared.
The leafe knights and Takako found Himeno's private room in no time, considering the loud bawling coming from it. They approached the door but, Sasame just froze at the door looking down at the ground. "When we go in, just act like everything is okay and that there is no problem!" He said in a low tone which worried them even more then before. They could tell Sasame was very disturbed and upset and this was not something the knight of sound felt often.
"Sasame…" Takako said very worried about him. Sasame's hand reached for the door knob and they walked in on all the commotion in the room. From crying to shouting to she is just faking it to get attention, last comment mainly coming from Mayune. They all turned their attention to the knights and Takako who had just walked in. Himeno's family fell silent except for kaoru's crying which was rather loud. All they could do was look at Himeno no one could move or speck, they were to frozen by her just looking at her in so much pain.
"Ahem!" Mawata had broken the silence. "Mother, why don't we take dad outside for some fresh air." She truly wanted to leave the others alone with Himeno for a while just as they had done. And as well to calm the hyper ventilating Kaoru down as well.
"That sounds like a good idea Mawata. Come know Kaoru, lets go and get some fresh air okay." Natsue said rubbing his back, walking him out of the room.
Mawata was about to follow but she saw Mayune made no effort of leaving. "Come on! You to Mayune!" She said and pushed Mayune out the door.
"How rude Mawata!" Was the last thing you heard Mayune say, before Mawata slammed the door shut after herself and her sisters ignorance. Leaving the knights and Takako alone with Himeno.
For a moment no one made any movement to Himeno, still shocked from Himeno's pain. Then Sasame took the first approach to Himeno. Sasame looked down at Himeno with a very sad expression, then he raised his hand to her face. Everyone else just looked at Sasame trying to figure out what he was trying to do. Just then Sasame's hand began to glow with a white and lavender colored light. His hand levitated over Himeno's face, then his hand slowly traced Himeno's body from her face down to her feet. He stopped at her feet with a jolt of pure shock and fear! "No!" He whispered. "NO! It can't be!" He spoke rather loudly with a crack in his voice.
"Sasame! What's wrong?" Kei asked completely freaked out at Sasame's tone. He had never heard Sasame speck with so much terror in his voice for all the years he had known the knight of sound, which was his whole life.
"I..Its just as I…feared!" Sasame's voice trembled. "Her fever…and her fainting was no accident. It was a TRAP!" Everyone stopped and gasped when Sasame said this. "Himeno…has been poisoned! When the demon larva attacked her, it must have had the poison in the stinger on the arm that stabbed Himeno. This is bad! Really BAD!" Everyone know was completely shocked and couldn't speck. Well almost everyone!
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!" Everyone turned around to find…Hayate said it. He didn't say a word since they arrived up until know. Hayate from the back of the room walked forward to Himeno and Sasame. "Is that true Sasame?" Sasame did not speck, he could not look Hayate in the eyes so he looked down to the ground. "TALK TO ME SASAME!" Hayate screamed grabbing Sasame by the collar of his shirt, about to pummel the life out of Sasame. Kei and Go quickly ran over to Hayate and held him back and telling him to calm down. "Let me go! Sasame needs to learn to not joke like this! Tell me your not serious Sasame!" He yelled even though it wasn't Sasame's fault.
"Hayate! Stop this childish behavior know!" Sasame demanded know looking Hayate straight in the eyes. "Do you think Himeno would want to see you act like this!" He shouted, getting Hayate to lower his tone and calm down enough for Go and Kei to be able to let go of him.
Hayate looked over at Himeno and took a deep breath and looked back at Sasame. "Please Sasame tell me, is it that bad?"
Sasame looked down and began nodding his head. Hayate gasped and the look on his face was far from unspeakable. "It is worse then we could ever imagine!" Sasame struggled to say. "You see the type of poison that has been entered into her is called…Kuroashi poison. I have never seen it myself but there is a legend…"
"I remember know! Sasame you don't mean that one legend of…" Hayate said looking down at Himeno.
"Yes! I do mean that one. It happened a long time ago before any of us were born. A great evil set the Kuroashi poison as a plague onto Leafenia and it took a tremendous amount of lives! The legend of the Great Dark Death!" Sasame said. "But I thought it was only a myth. The Kuroashi poison was said to never exist and if it even did It was supposed to have been
completely destroyed by the ones who saved Leafenia from the plague."
"Sasame, do you know how it started in Leafenia?" Go asked him.
"Yeah, and what about Himeno? Is there a cure for this Kuroashi poison? We have to save her!" Hajime spoke into the conversation know.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Shin and Mannen agreed with Hajime.
Sasame was silent for a moment then cleared his throat and spoke to answer the questions the best he could. "You see, the
Legend says the whole thing in general started in Leafenia by the Kuroashi poison being implanted into the ruling pretear at the time. Every time the pretear would pret with a knight the poison would spread as well as when ever the pretear would spread leafe the same would happen. But it was said that while all the others died the pretear did not die, she was the source of it so she would be the last to die. And there was one knight that did not fall to the spell and together the knight and pretear saved what was left of Leafenia and helped the cycle begin anew." Sasame paused then Takako came over and put her hand on his arm to tell to keep going. "And as for Himeno we have a problem! This poison can only be eliminated by only two things. Either it would have to take the white pretear or another source that I am unaware of to destroy it. But at this time we are short a white pretear, meaning Himeno."
"What are we going to do? How will we save Himeno when she is the only one who can become the white pretear!" Go said in frustration.
"Oh we just have to help Himeno some how!" Hajime said about to cry.
"Wait!" Shin said stepping forward from behind Go. "I just thought of something. Sasame, I think the other source you are thinking about besides the white pretear, is…The Flower Of White Leafe!"
"Shin, how did you know that? Even I did not know that! Hayate and I are the only ones who know anything about this whole thing in detail." Sasame said to shin.
Suddenly Shin grabbed his head and seemed a bit unstable. "My head…it hurts!" He said falling back a little bumping against Go's legs. "I am not sure how I knew that, it just came to me. It didn't even feel as if I was saying it!"
"Actually, Sasame that's right what Shin just said. I remember that The Flower Of White Leafe is the second greatest source of pure leafe. The flower is said to be able to cure any illness or it can even bring the dead back to life!" Hayate spoke up. "The greatest source is the white pretear! Our best hope know is that flower!"
"But Hayate, we don't even know if the flower is real its said to be a myth and a legend just like the plague on Leafenia." Sasame said doubtfully.
"Hey, hey no think about it! It was said that the white pretear was just a legend and Himeno became the white pretear. Same for the Kuroashi poison but know that those two things are real and not just legends. I say anything is possible know so why not say the flower really dose exist!" Mannen said cheerfully with a damn good point!
"Yeah! Yeah!" Shin and Hajime said.
"You know, I hate to admit it but the punk has a very good point! Besides we are going to do anything and everything to save Himeno, so lets get to it!" Go said giving Mannen a good job pat on the back which knocked him over flat on his face. "Oh sorry about that mannen!" go said sounding very sorry and sincere. Then mannen jumped back up and looked go straight in the eyes and was about to say something but turned around after his apology and cursed under his breath to let it all off!
"Yes he does! But keep in mind we don't even have any idea were the flower is!" Sasame said. Everyone became very quite when Sasame made a good point as well.
"The Flower Of White Leafe can be found in Leafenia in The Forest Of Shiroi Hari-Ukiyo! The Forest Of White Crystal-Leafe!" Shin said. Everyone looked in shock at the small boy. Who was know holding his head in great pain.
"How in the world did you know that Shin?" Kei asked the very mentally disturbed Shin.
"I am not sure! It is like someone inside me is telling me these things. Its scary!" Shin said on the verge of tears. Takako came over and gave the small boy a huge in absence of Himeno.
"Whether or not its true or not it's the best lead we have so far and it sounds about right. At least that is what I heard as well!" Hayate said. "Alright, lets not waste anymore time lets go and find that flower and bring it back for Himeno."
"Okay, then its settled we are going to get the flower, but we must keep in mind a very important fact. When Himeno's fever reaches 106 she will die! That's how this type of poison works its twisted ways and right know Himeno's fever is 102.56." Sasame said pointing over to the digital monitor that told them how high Himeno's fever was. "So we have no time to spare we have to hurry!"
"Right!" everyone agreed with Sasame and they turned around to walk out the door.
"Wait!" Sasame said abruptly. "Hayate, I think it is for the best if someone stays behind with Himeno. And I think it should be you and this way you can tell me from time to time how Himeno is. I am the knight of sound after all!"
"Yes, I agree with Sasame. Hayate you stay!" Kei said.
"B…but why me?" Hayate stuttered.
"Uhhh must you even ask that Hayate!" Sasame said with a very very big smile on his face. Then Hayate began to blush a bit and nodded his head agreeing with them.
"Yep Hayate! You have fun guarding Himeno while we get the flower!" Takako said happily and some what tauntingly.
"Oh no you don't!" Sasame said tugging her back by the back of her shirt. "You get to stay here with Hayate and watch Himeno." She was about to ask why she had to stay behind but Sasame beat her to it! "We cant take you along, nothing personal but you would just get in the way!"
Takako turned around and walked over to Hayate, next to Himeno. They exchanged looks and at the same time said, "You all are against us!" They all laughed and together left the room.
Moments after they left Himeno by herself in the hospital room, out of the dark shadows of the room came a dark figure. "Heehee! Idiots, they were to busy worrying about their precious pretear to even sense my presence in the room the whole time!" The person said and approached Himeno's bed side. Looking down at Himeno it laughed evilly and trace its hand down the side of Himeno's face. "I could kill you here and know little white pretear…but I wont! Where will the fun in that be!" It went over to the window where the bright sun shone into the room and quickly closed the curtains hating the sunlight, then it looked back at Himeno. "Everything is going as it should and as I had planned. Soon very soon everything will set into place completely and you can do nothing to stop me little pre…" It stopped talking when the door knob turned and voices were approaching. It vanished without a trace when Himeno's family came in. This was not over, not by a long shot.
At that same time on the roof top of the hospital, the leafe knights stood ready and had already opened a portal to Leafenia.
"Have a safe trip and come back soon!" Takako bid them good luck.
"And remember to make it fast! We have only so much time to spare and for Himeno's sake if nothing else come back soon and safe with that flower!" Hayate said reminding the knights about to go through the portal.
"Don't worry we will be careful and come back soon, if only Hayate would stop talking so much!" Sasame said jokingly trying to get at least one person to smile even a little.
"HA HA HA! Very funny, get going already!" Hayate shot back.
"Bye!" they all bided to each other and with that they had passed through the portal to Leafenia.
"Come on Hayate! Why don't we wait for them inside with Himeno!" Takako said to Hayate and they went inside the hospital to wait for what would seem like forever. But that was the only thing they could do know. They could only wait!
