-I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand -
Hikari set her feet on the ground.
'I did it,' she thought happy she had gotten rid of the monster.
Suddenly she felt as if half her strength was drained as Sasame appeared next to her and she fell to her knees. A blonde-headed boy ran over to her.
"Are you okay?" he had this small voice and was really cute.
She nodded as she stood. Sasame helped her continue to stand she was tired she huffed. Sasame looked concerned.
"Are you sure your all right?" he asked she looked as if she hadn't slept in weeks.
She cried out as she fainted. She was so tired she couldn't stay awake Sasame lifted her up and it started raining. He sighed she was sleeping then he noticed something he hadn't before there was a whelp on the side of her face he lightly ran a finger across it and she cringed in her sleep. They decided to take her to leafenia (SP?) seeing as how they knew not where she lived. She slept for days Sasame decided to ask her about the whelp when she awoke.
(This takes place in Hikari's dreams)
Hikari's eyes flickered open she sat up and took in her surroundings. Everything in a ten foot radius of her was lush green like a garden and everything outside of that was desert. It was strange but beautiful at the same time.
'Where am I'
"You my dear are in lavendia," she turned to see a handsome man he had beautiful short red hair that was messy and green eyes he wore a black button up shirt and black slacks with black shoes.
"Who are you," she questioned him.
"I am called lacrid but you can call me Lac for short," He smiled.
"How did I get here?" she asked still curious about why she was here.
"You fell from the sky and I caught you. I have a question for you now," he said.
She shrugged how hard could his question be.
"Where did you get that whelp on your face?" He asked.
'Oh no he asked the magic question,' she thought trying to make up a quick excuse.
She said the first thing that came to mind. "I hit the side of my table on my way out of bed," she lied she could tell that he didn't fully by it but he didn't ask her about it any more. He sat next to her and touched the whelp lightly then he brought his face really close to hers and planted his mouth on hers. Her eyes widened suddenly her whole body hurt and she began to cry she screamed as she woke up.
(Out of the dream)
Goh walked into the room.
"What's the matter?" She shook her head.
"Nothing," she whispered playing with the edges of the cover she was under.
"You're lying," he said bluntly as he walked out of the room.
(Goh's POV goes a little ways back in time)
The other leafe' knights had gone to work and school he volunteered to stay and watch after the pretear. He was in the living room watching TV when he heard her scream. He ran to the room and opened the door.
"What's the matter?" She shook her head.
"Nothing," she whispered playing with the edges of the cover she was under.
"You're lying," he said bluntly as he walked out of the room.
Hey she was lying but that wasn't the right thing to say Sasame knows how to talk better than he does.
He went back to the living room.
-I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire-
(This is Sasame's POV it goes a little ways back in time also)
She's been asleep for too days now and the Leafe' knights had to go back to work and school Goh volunteered to stay home with her because he had today off. Sasame sighed Takako was gone she had died only a few days after Himeno. They were both gone he sighed he left the house and went to work.
(Back to Goh and Hikari)
Hikari let out another scream. Goh ran to see a demon larva growing bigger and bigger. Hikari backed up Goh grabbed her hand and they preted. Hikari looked for the core and spotted it on his for head. The giant looking rat spit a fireball at her and she was to slow to evade it and when it hit she heard Goh cry out in pain.
"Goh Goh are you all right?"
"Yeah, KEEP YOUR GUARD UP!"
She suddenly snapped back her attention towards the demon larva that was currently sucking leafe from everything in its path. She screamed as she tried to hit it in it's head but suddenly she was grabbed and Goh some how was forced out of her. She screamed in pain it felt that some one had forcefully ripped him out. Had it not been for the arms she would have fallen. Goh lay sprawled out on the ground unconscious. The demon larva some how disappeared. She began to struggle but felt a pain in her head.
/I wouldn't do that if I were you. / A voice warned.
/Who are you/she asked.
/Awe you forgot me that fast I'm offended/the voice said in a mocking voice.
/That doesn't answer my question/she was mad.
/Does the name Lac ring any bells/he asked.
/You're the guy from my nightmare/she asked.
/I'd say it was more of a dream for me especially the hot steamy kiss we shared /he stated as if proud of himself.
/FUCK YOU/ She screamed back at him.
/Would love to but can't/he said.
/Grrrr.. Just wait 'til my friends get home their gonna kick your-. /
He licked her neck then disappeared leaving her to fall to the floor.
-This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this-
(Lacid's POV)
He had to leave before she did something he'd regret her sent just drove him wild. He quickly flew to his mistress but couldn't stop thinking of her Hikari his enemy.
(Back to Hikari)
She hit the floor hard and cried out in pain. Then remembered Goh and crawled over to him. She began to shake him desperately trying to wake him.
"Goh, Goh please, please Goh wake up, Goh I'm sorry" she begged her voice a little above a whisper.
About an hour later the door to the room opened and she was still trying to wake Goh and crying. Suddenly she was ripped of him and sent flying into a wall.
"WENCH," she looked up and saw Hayate.
Her eyes widened as she curled up in a corner and continued crying and shaking uncontrollably. Hayate picked Goh up and carried him out of the room.
(Hayate's POV)
I was gonna check on Goh when I went in Goh looked dead and Hikari was over him the whole room was a mess. She had hurt him he knew it he flung her off him.
"WENCH"
Almost all of Goh's leafe' was gone he picked him up and left he carried him to the tree of leafe' and put him in to heal. Then left back to the house where she was still crying.
(Hikari's POV)
Hayate came back then he grabbed me and pushed me against a wall.
"WHAT DID YOU DO," he screamed.
"I-I didn't d-do an-anything," I tried to explain still crying.
He seemed to calm down a bit.
(Hayate's POV)
She looked just like Himeno when she cried but it was just my imagination. They looked very different. Goh was out of commission so he would have to lug her around today. He had hurt her he could tell by the way that she looked at him fearfully. Then he noticed something a small whelp on the side of her face. He touched it and she winced.
"What happened?" He asked.
(Hikari's POV)
'My dad,' the thought wishing she could tell him 'WAIT MY DAD I'M IN DEEP SHIT,' she was dead her father would kill her literally.
"Hayate can you take me home?" Hayate looked at Her strangely then grabbed Her and suddenly we were in front of my door.
"Thanks," I knocked on the door.
Then she remembered what she was in for and turned to Hayate.
"You don't have to wait."
Hayate cocked an eyebrow.
"What aren't you telling me?"
Then my father opened the door.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOU LITTLE SLUT!" he screamed.
She cringed knowing what was next. He grabbed her by her hair and pulled her into the house leaving a stunned Hayate outside. As soon as the door closed he proceeded to beat her. He punched her and her cheek turned a blue-ish color. She cried out in pain.
Hayate burst into the door and she turned to see him he ripped her father off her throwing him into a wall that's all she saw before she passed out.
-And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's, as it seems-
(Hayate's POV)
He burst into the door and she turned to see him he ripped her father off her throwing him into a wall and frowned at her as she passed out. Her father was unconscious He picked her up and carried her back to leafenia. He put her in the bed.
'Well now I know where the whelp came from,' he thought bitterly as she left out of where he'd laid her.
'Well now a knight and the pretear are out of commission,' He sat in a chair.
'But how did Goh get hurt it was pretty obvious his theory that she had done it was wrong so how,' he decided to ask them when they wake up.
Unknowingly he fell asleep.
(Hayate's Dream)
She was dancing Himeno was dancing she was alive she touched him. Yes he was sure it was her she dancing around a fire and laughing. Himeno came over to him and kissed him he had just been standing there watching her. Suddenly she backed up and a sword was pushed through her heart from the back. She screamed. He screamed. There was evil laughter then a man appeared behind her his hand on the knife. He looked up at Hayate with piercing green eyes and red hair.
"What's the matter Hayate having a bad dream?"
Hayate sat up in his chair.
-I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand-
(Hikari's Dream)
Hikari was back in the dream the same one from last time. She looked around no sign of Lacrid suddenly something wet and cold fell on her face then was followed by billions of others. It was raining. Lacrid appeared beside her and she nearly jumped out of her skin.
"Hello Hikari," he smiled as he leaned towards her and she leaned back.
"Go away," she said bluntly hoping he would take a hint and leave but she had no such luck she wasn't very lucky these days.
"Stop resisting me Hikari." He leaned in further.
"Take a hint Lacrid," she tried to push him away but he grabbed her hand.
His grip was bone crushing and tears sprung to her eyes.
"You're hurting me!" she screamed.
He frowned and dropped her hand and disappeared and she woke up.
-I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of her love-
(Lacrid's POV)
She didn't know it but every time she dreamt of him he was right next to her holding her. His arms were around her she was sleeping. He controlled everything in her dreams he could do everything and anything to her he wanted. He wanted her to like him just a bit she didn't have to love him just, like him. He wanted her to feel the same about him as he did about her. He had watched her for a long time. He liked her for a long time he wanted to be close to her along to and make her pain disappear but he had done nothing but hurt her the whole time we was near her.
"Hello Hikari," he smiled as he leaned towards her and she leaned back.
"Go away," she said bluntly.
"Stop resisting me Hikari." He leaned in further.
"Take a hint Lacrid," she tried to push him away but he grabbed her hand.
His grip was bone crushing and tears sprung to her eyes.
"You're hurting me!" she screamed.
He frowned and dropped her hand and disappeared and she woke up.
He had hurt her then he had hurt her the girl who's pain he had wanted to relieve.
She hated him.
/I'd say it was more of a dream for me especially the hot steamy kiss we shared /he stated as if proud of himself.
/FUCK YOU/ She screamed back at him.
He had disappeared before she had awoken.
"Lacrid, what are you thinking about you seem distraught?" his mistress he looked up at her.
"Why nothing." He smiled and lifted his head.
"I'm gonna make Kei pay." She said now that she had gotten his attention.
"Any suggestions?" she asked him.
-I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in pain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand-
Kei closed his eyes it was her Layla the one who had fallen for him. He had loved her also he had been so in love with her it seemed as if nothing else had mattered. He could remember her transformation like it was yesterday.
Layla had been the pretear for a few months though they had no need for her seeing as how she was the first one. Kei had fallen for her at first sight she had been all he had thought about he was going to confess but he was a knight he wasn't suppose to love the pretear but she confessed to him first.
"Kei I can't live without you!" she screamed.
He looked at her more coldly than he had wanted. He wouldn't love her he wasn't supposed to.
"You don't love me Layla," was what he said.
She looked shocked.
"But I th-thought," she stuttered.
"I'm sorry Layla but you thought wrong." He let her go.
She crumbled to the ground. He was sorry there was nothing he could do though then something unexpected happened a dark masma surrounded her. She screamed.
"LAYLA!" he screamed he tried to grab her but was forced against the wall when he had tried to grab her.
Her hair grew out her eyes turned purple and she was crying.
He dragged himself from his memories not wanted to remember the past any more.
'I was so stupid…'
He closed his eyes and envisioned her hurt face one last time.
-Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower,
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this-
Hikari got out of the bed and walked out of the room. Hayate was in the chair watching t.v. she looked at him.
"Hayate could you please not tell the other knights about my father," She asked hoping he wouldn't ask questions and again no such luck.
Hayate looked at her.
"Why not you should tell them we can help." He said trying to urge her to tell them.
She became upset.
"You can't help me no one can because I don't want to be helped." She said through clenched teeth.
"Why wouldn't you want to be helped no one should have to go through that."
He was sincere she closed her eyes.
"He's my father and you can only say that because you don't know me," she sighed and sat in a chair.
"Do you think I would be wasting my time trying to convince you if you deserved it?" he asked now he was getting upset.
'Why would she want to put herself through something like that?' he thought.
"You don't understand, just please" she said.
She looked like Himeno again.
"Okay but if I see any more bruises I'll tell them." He said he knew he had made a mistake by not telling every one but what else could he do she had him with that look.
"Oh, thank you so much!" she hugged him.
'She smells good,' he thought he had to resist from kissing her.
'He's so warm,' she thought.
They were still in that position just enjoying each otherforgetting about the fact they were hugging.
-Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower, this rare perfume
Is the sweet intoxication of the fall-
(Lacrid's POV)
He would check on her that's it he flew to the house she wouldn't even see him. He peeked through the window and he was peeved at what he saw she was hugging Hayate and possibly kissing from the angle he stood. He was extremely upset he remembered his last love Trista.
"Lacrid, Lacrid I'm here!"
Lacrid turned to see Trista he flowing blue locks flying behind her as she ran to him. She kissed him.
"It's so nice to see you we finally got away," she smiled.
They stood in the middle of a beautiful garden. Trista and Lacrid were forbidden to love each other seeing as how they were on opposite sides of the war but this day would prove to be unfortunate for them both.
"How did I know this was happening?"
They turned to see Lacrid's general Geonomis. Trista's mouth fell open.
"Surprised, SO AM I!"
Geonomis threw a dagger at her and she stood there in shock as it went straight through her heart.
Lacrid screamed.
He yanked himself from his memory's they both smelled the same they both smelled of fall.
