"What do you mean 'Who are you?' Are you trying to be funny?" Hayate screamed at her. He was shaking her so hard she was getting really dizzy.

"Stop it! You're hurting me!" She grabbed his arms and forced him away.

"You mean, you really don't remember? About being the Prétear or anything?" Shin asked. "Poor Himeno!" He said it in his cute/sad voice. He looked about ready to cry.

"That word-Prétear. It sounds so familiar. I really don't remember anything about it though." she frowned, trying to gather her memories.

"Seriously though, who are you, and who am I? What am I doing here?"

"I wonder what could give Himeno amnesia like that. She didn't fall that hard, and her grass is soft." Sasame said. He'd practically had to pry Hayate away from Himeno. Hayate had been absolutely hysterical when he attacked her the way he did.

"Are you sure you're alright Hayate? You were really going at her. I'm worried about you, as a friend." He certainly didn't need to say that. His face said it.

"Of course he's not alright. He's in love with Himeno, and he loves her to death. Himeno shares the same feelings just as equally."

Hayate didn't answer. He had even just barely heard what Kei said. He was wondering what could have made Himeno keel over the way she did. He hadn't felt any presence when they got back to earth, when they walked out of the D.O.L.

Hayate decided to take a look around the outside of Himeno's house, where they had come out. Around the bushes he spotted a small microphone, like what they use in all the spy movies. The trail of the cord led to Andrea's house. She was watching him through her living room window.

When she saw him, she smiled and waved. She's trying to flirt with me, Hayate thought, Well I'm not buying it.

Hayate walked towards the window. Andrea walked up to him being extremely flirtatious.

"Hello Hayate. May I help you on this fine afternoon?" She batted her eyelashes.

Hayate felt an extreme amount of dark energy coming from her. The same dark energy that came from Takako when she was Fenril. It looked as though Andrea had gotten the power just by wanting to be better than Himeno and by pure jealousy. " Hayate, please prét with me, so that I can know what it's like"Sorry. Offer declined, bitch." He spat " What did you do to Himeno? Give her back her memory!" Hayate grabbed her by the neck of her shirt.

"I will give her back her memory, but only when I know the full power of the prétear." Andrea said calmly, even though she felt that Hayate was about to go on a wild emotional rampage.

"No. I won't sink that low. You need to figure out that you can't have everything your way and that you can't have everything you want, you spoiled brat." He said this calmly, and his face was harder than the hardest stone.

"Himeno will never get her memory back then." Andrea said. She said it in a teasing/Mocking sort of tone. Hayate was a good three feet away. He suddenly stopped. He was shaking fiercely, though she couldn't tell from what. Suddenly he turned around and grabbed her by the throat.

"Bitch! Give her back her memory! Right now! Give it back to her dammit!" His eyes were filled with tears that soon started streaming down his face. Andrea was trying to squirm out of his grip, but the harder she tried, the more he tightened.

"Hayate!" someone screamed. He felt Andrea being forced out of his hands. He tried to tighten his grip again.

"Hayate! Let her go! Stop it!" By now three or four people were trying to loosen his grip on Andrea. Andrea fell to the ground. She looked just like a scared puppy or rabbit, although she didn't bound or run away. She was gasping desperately for air.

Looking around Hayate saw Kei, Sasame, and Gou looking at him. Shin was crying up a storm. He'd never seen Hayate act like that before and it scared him quite a lot.

Hayate turned away shaking with anger at the fact that he couldn't murder Andrea. He couldn't remember the last time he'd been that angry.

"What was all that about, Hayate?" Sasame inquired. "Why did you do that?"

"Andrea got the power of the prétear, just like she wanted. And she wanted me to prét with her. I wouldn't do it and she said that she'd never give Himeno her memory back."

"Oh is that all? Hdayate don't you remember the first pretear we worked with? She, too, lost her memory, but gained it back within a couple of hours. Without anyone's help." Kei reminded him.

Hayate remained silent. He felt as though it was his fault Himeno was in this situation. He couldn't at all explain this, however.

Hayate suddenly felt the same aura that told him there was a demon larva nearby. But there was something wrong and strange about it. It was as though the demon larva was hollow. Almost not even there.

Hayate went to check it out, very cautiously. When he turned the corner, he saw something. It was the demon larva. It wasn't very big which meant it wasn't very strong. It was flopping around like some sort of deformed fish.

"I think Andrea is trying to kill us off, but this a pathetic attempt at death." Mannen said.

"Strong or not, we can't completely kill this thing without Himeno. We need to find her while some other distract this thing."

Mannen stepped forward. "I think that Hajime, Shin and I should stay here. We'd be harder to spot because we're smaller."

"Sorry guys. You aren't going anywhere." It was coming from the demon larva, which had turned into Andrea.

The knights were suddenly encaged. It had been a trick.
