For over an hour, Himeno had been sitting in her room just staring at her blank T.V. screen. She frowned as she tried to regain her memories, but nothing came up Except one memory of her kissing Hayate. "Why can't I remember anything except that? Did I fall in love with him? Or was it just an impulse because he loved me and wanted to show it?" She decided to find those guys she had seen earlier.

She started walking toward Andrea's house and something told her to check around the back. She went to Andrea's backyard and opened the gate.

When she stepped into the yard, she saw all seven of the guys in a cage that looked just barely big enough for them to stand in without much movement. She didn't know why but she felt a tremendous amount of energy coming from somewhere.

"Um…hi." she said. She felt a little shy around them. They all turned to look at her. "I need to get my memory back. I really want to remember. I want to remember everything." As she spoke tears started running down her face.

The knights all nodded. "Himeno," Hayate said "Take my hand." He held it out gently. Himeno, not sure about what would happen, hesitated.

"Come on." Hayate said "You need to trust me." Himeno grabbed his hand without a second thought. She closed her eyes as she felt the power rush through her body. When she opened them, she was the beautiful wind pretear.

By just preting, she remembered everything.

"Better?" he asked

"Yes." she responded "Much better. Why is everyone in that cage?"

"Believe it or not, Andrea trapped us there. She created a faux demon larva. She's also the one who is responsible for your amnesia."

"Why?"

"She tried to trick Hayate into preting with her. You need to be careful Himeno."

"We've gotta get you outta here." Himeno said. Desperately she started pulling on the bars. They didn't give, which surprised Himeno, since the bars looked as if they were made out of rubber."

"Oh, poo. I was expecting a little more than that Miss Awayuki." said a smug little voice.

"Andrea! I've really had enough of you! Why can't you leave me alone?"

Himeno now realized that she never missed being the pretear. She only missed being with the knights.

"I've got not choice. Hayate! We have to attack."

"Way ahead of you." he said

Himeno closed her eyes and mustered up her energy. "Wind Sword!" She screamed

She swung at Andrea. Andrea, not expecting the blow, got hit.

While she was on the ground, Himeno swung at the cage, which broke, letting everyone go free.

"Come on guys. Lets get out of here." They left Andrea, dazed on her porch. They went to Leafenia, near the place where Takako had been sealed.

"We've got to do something about Andrea. She is really getting on my nerves. No matter what, we have got to stop her. Even if it means…even if it means…"

"Even if it means what?" Hajime asked

Himeno bit her lip. She stayed quiet for a moment. "Even if it means giving up my power as the pretear."

"You can't do that, Himeno! You're the only one who can stop the Princess of Disaster." Mannen said.

"I know. But if I give up my powers as the pretear Andrea won't have a reason to hurt me because all of you will be here, in Leafenia. Although I really hate that option."

"Himeno," Hayate gently said "Look at me."

Himeno obliged. "You won't give up the power of the pretear. We just have to show Andrea that she can't have everything in the world that she wants."

Hayate took her hand and smiled. Himeno was crying Hayate gave her a soft kiss on the lips.

"Thank you, Hayate." Himeno looked happy, although worry was in her eyes and on her face.

"So…uh…how are we going to get rid of Andrea?" Hajime asked

"I don't know. We need to get her to let go of the power. Maybe I shouldn't pret for a while." Himeno said. "I'll give you my power so that you can kill demon larva, but for a while, I won't acknowledge them." Himeno also hated this idea, but it seemed to be the only option they had. After all, if Himeno couldn't pret, then Andrea had no reason to hurt her.

"I think that's a good idea. Andrea wouldn't hurt Himeno if she can't do anything to attack her." Kei said

Himeno nodded. The knights stood in a circle around her. Himeno acted like she was going to pret. First she touched Hayate's and Hajime's hand, which were joined together. After that she concentrated on giving each knight a little bit of her ability to kill the larva.

Little by little her power drained. She felt weaker and weaker. Finally when she had no more power left, she fell to the ground. She smiled.

"Are you alright Himeno?" Hayate asked.

"Yes Hayate. I'm fine, but I don't know if can stand. I feel so weak.

Hayate picked her up. "I'll take you home."

"Thank you Hayate." Himeno let her head fall against his shoulder. She was so weak and tired.

Hayate took her back home. He set her on her bed and just looked at her. When this was all over he'd be forced to live in Leafenia until it was time for a new pretear. Unless he wanted to live on earth. He decided not to worry about that until the time came.

He left Himeno to go talk to the other knights. He would miss Himeno preting, but it was the only way they felt she wouldn't be hurt or humiliated by Andrea.

"Is she going to be alright?" Shin asked.

"Yes. She'll be fine, with a little bit of rest. She might not be herself, though. She gave up a tremendous amount of power."

"I know." Kei said "I felt the power transferring from my hand to Gou's to Mannen's."

All of a sudden Sasame turned his head toward Himeno's house. "A DEMON LARVA IS ATTACKING HIMENO'S HOUSE!" He screamed.
