Chapter One: Reunion

The alarm clocks rings and Himeno's hand reaches for it and taps it to shut it off. As she whines, she hurls the blanket and sits upright. Rubbing her eyes she grabs for the alarm clock and looks in horror and dismay.

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe its already seven thirty!" running in panic mode she jumps off her bed and sprints toward the bathroom, grabs her toothbrush and toothpaste and brushes in fury. "Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh! Ahh! Where are the clothes? I thought I laid them there last night!"

As she runs around the room digging in endless piles of clothes she grabs her uniform and changes quickly.

Just outside the door Hayate passes by and hears yelling, banging and clashing. Without a thought he rushes in and as he got in he was right in the middle of Himeno changing. As Himeno blushes, Hayate blushes and turns away and looks up and said, "You shouldn't be making...all these noises!" (swallow).

When Himeno's face turned bright red, she pulls up her skirt and pulls down her sweater and ran toward Hayate. As soon as he saw her running he ran out the door as fast as he could. But with Himeno right behind him he stops!

Turning slowly Himeno yells, "I've got you now, you ass!"

As he turns he lifts his face and gave an innocent look saying, "OH! Please don't hurt me Himeno!" with that she trips and falls on her face in disgust. As she lifts her head she sighs and gives up.

Looking at a hand, she grabs it and pulls herself up. Looking up it Hayate.

"Oh its you..." she glares at him and then...

"I'm sorry Himeno. Are you okay?" he gets his sleeve and rubs the dirt off her face.

Sighing it was only dirt that hit her face; she looks up at his face and just when things were about to end with a kiss. She suddenly remembers that she had to get to school! Pushing Hayate away she tries to escape but Hayate was holding her arm tight.

"Hayate! I'm going to be late for school again, so would you please let go of me?"

Looking in humor he pulls her closer and whispers in her ear, "It's Sunday today."

As Himeno took in the words, she paused in ah and looked down in stupidity, "I bet you think I'm stupid huh?"

"Maybe..." smiling, his hands let go of her arm and slides down toward her hand. He holds it and he drags Himeno toward the garden holding her hands linked with his.
