Chapter Six: To the Past

Slowly opening her eyes she closed them back again when the thin strip of light from the sun blinded her. Using her right hand to cover her eyes lifted her self from the bed and felt something heavy on her legs. Trying to pull them out she tugged and finally popped them and she looked at what was holding them down. Her gaze fell on Hayate sleeping quietly at the foot of her bed. She smiled and moved his hair away from his face and she kissed his cheek. Pulling the covers she covered him up and when she started tucking him in she noticed the dark circles under his eyes. Slightly frowning she wondered what was seriously causing him to stress out so much and make him lose sleep. Thinking on it she got up and moved toward the opposite side of the room and opened a large cherry wood door that has intricate designs on them. Turning the handle she opened it and entered her bathroom. Walking without any conscience of what she is doing she grabbed her toothbrush and added toothpaste and started brushing her teeth. Washing out the excess toothpaste and brushing her hair she goes back to the bedroom. Sighing that Hayate was still sleeping she walked over and sat at the edge next to him.

She stared at his face and just looked then she noticed that she was going to be late to school if she didn't hurry. She got up and changed into her uniform and left for school.

As Himeno ran down the front steps leading toward the drive way she sees Tanaka in the limo and she waved at him to signal that she was riding today but then the limo started moving out toward the front gate. As Himeno tried to keep up she heard a howling laugh coming out of the back seat of the limo. The window rolled down and Mayune stuck her head out and laughed at Himeno.

"Oh ho ho ho!" With her right pinky next to her mouth she yelled, "Himeno! You run like a fool and always late to school! I hope you fall and..." before she could finish Mayune's head was pushed in through the window by something but was not there.

As Himeno slowed down to catch her breath she bent down and grabbed her knees and sat on the dirt road. Even though she was mad at Mayune, watching her fall into the car made her feel a lot better and hoped that her hair was just as messy as she looked right now.

When a hand fell on her shoulder she screamed and tossed her bag behind her to hit the culprit.

"Ow! Stop hitting me when ever I do something! The cause of my death will be you, you know!" As Hayate was rubbing his head Himeno turned around and stared at Hayate.

"What the hell are you doing Hayate! I thought you were sleeping!" As she got up she grabbed Hayate by the collar and dragged him down to her level. "Do you ever look at yourself in the damn mirror? You look like a zombie and have really dark rings under your eyes."

Pushing away from Himeno Hayate straightened his back and reached his arm out. "Come on lets go!"

Staring at his hand she asked, "Why? We're not going anywhere."

"Well unless you're going to run for your life to school your going to be late if I don't take you."

Staring at him she smiled and put her hand in his. He gave a tight squeeze and lifted off with Himeno right behind him. "Hold on a bit! The winds pretty rough but we're going to go faster if you don't want to be late!" he yelled.

Yelling back, "I really don't mind! At least have the courtesy of flying higher so everyone doesn't have a chance to peek under my skirt!" Frowning she gripped tighter, squeezing his hand.

"Ow that really hurts tulip head! As soon as you stop squeezing my hand to death I'll fly higher."

As Himeno loosened her grip Hayate flew a bit higher looking over the Awayuki town.

"We're going to go a little faster okay?" After seeing Himeno nod he increased his speed toward the high school.

Landing in front of the school's gate Himeno brushed off dust and dirt from the flying and patted down her hair. "Thanks for the lift Hayate."

"What ever. Just get in class before you're late again!"

Still matting down her hair she answered, "alright."

Seeing her enter the large bronze gate Hayate returned back toward the Awayuki manor and into the Leafania doorway.

As school passed and the morning became afternoon. The school bell rang and Himeno left the school past the large bronze gate. Stopping by at the ice cream parlor she walked back home towad the Awayuki Manor, licking her icee cream.

Finishing her ice cream she pulled out a book from school and started reading through it. "I never knew that acutually happened!" Still skimming through the book she reached the Awayuki Manor gates. Punching in the code the gates opened with creaks and moans. And there stood Hayate leaning against the gate poles, starring at her.

Looking up, Himeno saw Hayate right there and waved her hand while smiling. "Hey! What are you doing here? I thought that you and everyone else would be busy."

"Yeah we are but i was really worried about you."

Hayate looked very sincere but Himeno felt that something was really wrong with this picture. With her arms crossed she said, "Hmm?" Giving Hayate the glare.

Getting scared from the glare he went, "Mmm! What's with the glare you idiot!"

But with the last comment from Hayate, Himeno felt even more suspicion that Hayate was hiding something.

Feeling that it was something that had to do with her, Himeno decided that she will wring the truth out of Hayate soon enough. "What ever, come on Hayate, let's go home."

Grabbing his hand she walked toward the manor with Hayate, hand in hand.

Throughout the evening and night Hayate helped Himeno with her studying until she fell asleep.Then Hayate moved her to her bed and tucked her in.

As Himeno was sleeping soundly and Hayate dozing against the wall, it seemed that nothing could go wrong with this pleasing moment. But, what didn't seem real lurked within Himeno's dream, a dream so real that she could feel the pain, the sorrow, the anger and vengeance. Squirming from her dream Himeno was running, running as fast as her legs could carry her. From what was once a fairy tale dream became the nightmare of hell. Flames arose from the deep earth, hotter than the sun and bright than light. Sharp cliffs erupted from the ground that was once covered in flowers and trees, and turned the once beautiful land into a desolate scorch.

Even though it was only a dream the heat from the flames burned Himeno and the rocky path cut Himeno. All around her exposed body her cuts deepened and her burns severed, she couldn't find a way out of this pit of hell. And yet even when she tried to call out Hayate or the knights, none of them heard or came when she called their names. Her throat parched from thirst and raw from calls, she took a deep look in her surroundings.

From the path she previously was on the flames rose higher than before and surrounded her entirely. With no way to escape she screamed for Hayate with all her heart and desperation to get out of here.

"Ah hahahahaha!" the mocking laugh came from where the large flames first arose. The Queen of Hell herself came and wanted to see the face of the new pretear during her imprisonment in the Land of Ice. "So, Himeno is it? Yes, I believe it is. How do you like my home? To hot for you or to painful for you? A bit red for my taste though." Her eyes thinned when she saw how Himeno was looking at her. Lifting her right arm high she slapped Himeno as hard as she could.

As she was stuck in the flaming cage she felt the blow to her left check and blood from the scratches. Wiping the blood on her cheek, she spat out blood from her cut mouth. "Damn you! Who the hell do you think you are! Slapping me and trapping me here! And how the hell do you know my name! I don't ever remember telling you mine, and if I did I would remember that ugly face of yours too."

From the comment, Himeno received another blow but was not a slap to the face but, a knock out to her chest from an attack. Having the wind knocked out of her she laid still on the dusty red sand, trying to lift her self up it took most of her strength to roll over and push with her arms into a sitting position. "So you hate it when people call you ugly even though you are. And I also wouldn't even call that a blow, more like a punch, no wait worse then a punch a little shove is more like it." Himeno grinned from the saying.

While Himeno was finishing her saying the Queen of Hell was scrunching her fist hard enough for blood to flow out of her palm.

"How dare you insult me! You don't know anything about me or what happened when I was still young and knowledgeable. I was trapped in that world for so long that I went insane and then you! You helped me open the door to freedom!"

Covering her face Himeno muffled a yell, "NO! I didn't do it! Not me!"

"I would like to thank you for your help and give you a gift." Outstretching your right arm, a bright red glow started to glow and become bigger and bigger. Bringing the large red glow to her face she blew it toward Himeno.

Still sitting she scooted as far as she can go but she couldn't escape the red glow. When it touched her Himeno felt pain beyond feeling. As the glow slowly disappeared into her chest she felt her heart being squeezed of joy and love, and replaced with hate and anger.

From the stress Himeno fell unconscious onto the red dirt.

The flame that rose high and uncontrollable slowly shrinked to nothing but ash, with her powers, the Queen of Hell lifted Himeno and tossed her back into reality.

Turning her back and walking toward the center of Hell she smirked and laughed. She'll make my plans work whether she wants to or not.

Screaming and crying out Himeno was kicking and tossing her arms and legs everywhere. Hayate was barely able to control her from falling off the bed. Shaking her Hayate screamed, "Himeno! Himeno! Wake up! You're in a dream! Snap out of it!"

Just as he finished Himeno just drooped limply on the bed in Hayate's arms. Opening her arms she turned her head and gazed into Hayate's face.

"Augh!" turning away she coughed out some blood and wiped the sweat off her face.

Hayate noticed that scratches on her cheek and started wiping the blood off. "Himeno what the hell happened to you! I know you didn't just get these scratches a while ago!"

As soon as Hayate finished, Himeno slapped Hayate hard in the face and gave him a glare of hatred and anger…
