The Beginning of Love

Chapter 4

Hayate flew for so long it seemed like days, but infact was only four hours. It was beginning to get dark, and this made him extra worried. He was so frustrated right now. Could she possibly…no…of course not.. Hayate remembered the dream Himeno had transferred to him.

Now he knew why she had been crying like she had the night before, and screaming…his name. Did she care for him? Or was it just the fact she loved all of her Knights? Or if so, why did she only see him? He shook his head to clear his thoughts. He needed to focus on finding her.

Himeno, after running for hours it seemed like, found herself in the church that she had first heard the story about Takako in. She fell onto one of the pews and fell into a deep slumber.

Himeno reached towards Hayate's dead body, then she was falling, falling. No one was there to catch her; she was just falling, into a black hole.

Then out of the darkness came a hand, arm and finally a face, it was Hayate. She reached for his hand, he reached for hers, his face was so stern.

He finally caught her, pulling her up out of the hole. "I'm so glad you're okay." He cried into her hair, hugging her close.

"Hahaha!" The deep laughing voice erupted from a cloaked figure standing just feet away. "You die now!" It attacked. Hayate fell to the ground, Himeno watching the light in his eyes leaving forever.

Himeno watched in slow motion as Hayate fell to the ground. "Nooo! Hayate!" She fell along with him, hugging his head in her arms. He wrapped his arms around her with the last of his energy and then uttered three words. "I love you."

They were falling, falling, falling forever. "Hayate..." Himeno cried into his shoulder as they fell. "I love you too. Hayate! Do you hear me? Hayate!" She looked at his peaceful face for one last time, and then everything went black.

Himeno sleeping, and screaming his name flashed into Hayate's vision. He gasped and teleported to the abandoned church. He saw a figure in black for just a moment standing over a pew.

It spotted him and disappeared. Hayate ran up the isle and spotted Himeno there on the pew. She was crying and saying his name over and over. She had her arms in a position, so they looked like she was clinging to someone.

Hayate gathered her into his arms and woke her. "Himeno! Wake up." He shook her gently and she awoke with a start.

"Ha…Hayate…I'm sorry!" She flung her arms around him and just sat there for a moment, crying into his shoulder.

Hayate wiped her tears away from her eyes and made her look into them. "What happened in your dream?" Himeno shook her head, and lowered her eyes. "Why can't you let me know?" She didn't reply, and turned away. "Is there some reason for wanting to hide it? Is it embarrassing?" She nodded slightly. "I'll show you one of mine if you show me yours."

She turned to him, and sighed, placing her hands to his head. She pictured her dream in her own head and set it going again. She made sure to close her own eyes, only letting him see it.

Hayate heard Himeno calling his name, and the "I love you"s, and then she was calling his name again. He looked from the dark figure to himself and Himeno; he saw the life leave him as they began to fall.

Himeno opened her eyes and saw Hayate sitting beside her. This time it was he who had tears falling from his eyes.

"That…was just like one of mine. Funny thing is…it's almost true" The truth came out of his mouth before he knew it. Hayate slapped a hand over his own mouth and looked down, blushing.

"What?" Himeno asked, looking surprised. She stood up and stretched her legs a bit.

"Let me show you mine." He stated. She nodded and kneeled down in front of him. He placed his hands on the sides of her head and closed his eyes.

Himeno watched the scene change before her eyes. There was Sasame in front of her, but she wasn't really her, she was Hayate. She had just woken, obviously. Sasame and Takako looked sad, and Takako began to cry.

She looked towards the rest of the Knights a little ways away; there Himeno was, lying on the ground, in the middle of a circle of brightly colored flowers.

He walked over to her. "She became the Legendary White Pretear, by herself." He dropped to his knees before her. Hayate's hands were shaking and tears swelled up in his eyes. Everyone around was crying.

"Sorry. I'm a failure as a Knight." Hayate said to Himeno's lifeless body, her touched his right hand to her cheek. "Although I knew it was in my heart, I couldn't be honest." Tears poured from his eyes and dropped onto her peaceful face.

"I'll keep the promise I couldn't before now, Himeno." Himeno heard Hayate thinking. 'The snow of miracles falls all over, but there is one heart which has not been saved. Hayate lowered his lips to hers, still weeping. He kissed her for just a moment, though it seemed like forever.

Hayate thought to himself again. Please just once more. Bring back that smile once more.Himeno's face twitched and her eyes opened slightly. If there is a miracle called love...Himeno's eyes opened and Hayate's tears stopped.

Hayate opened his own eyes and looked down at Himeno who was now lying on the ground, she had fallen asleep, tears still on her face. "Himeno." She didn't move. He got off the bench and dropped to his knees beside her.

Her breath was calm and peaceful. He slowly leaned down, getting closer and closer to her face. The moment their lips met Himeno's eyes fluttered open.
