WELCOME BACKKKKK!

Sorry...just in a good mood . Anyway, thanks for all the good reviews, and I hope to get more.

Enjoy this chapter, and read to find out what happened to Mikino's dad.

This chapter will be long i hope

I don't own Pretear, only Mikino and her family, and all unfamiliar characters.

After the bad news that had been told about Mikino's father...Hayate finally arrived, and observed the area and spotted Hajime and the others.

"What happened?" he questioned as he looked down with a confused face as he saw her on the ground. Goh gave Hayate a sad look as he shook his head; Hayate seemed to catch on.

'I still don't understand why it took us so long to locate it!' Hayate mentally cursed him and the others as Goh reached to help Mikino off the floor but she shook her head and got up on her own.

"I could have saved him...only if I wasn't such an idiot..." she mumbled to herself as she tightened her fist. She would do anything to help her father...just when they were getting to know each other more...something interrupted them. Why couldn't it just be a good day?

Well...there's never going to be a good day...something will always ruin it.

"I don't think you could h-" Hajime was cut off by receiving a hit on the head by Shin.

"That isn't helping the situation!" he yelled as Hajime rubbed his head.

"Let's go now!" Mikino looked at the others with a serious look. Which was weird since she usually had either a weird look on her face...or a silly one.

"Oh..and to where?" Hayate asked her.

"To find my father!"

"Do you know that we're stuck in this small dimension! I noticed that when we entered, we can't leave! The demon larva has already sucked out all the leafe an-" the ground beneath the group began to shake and a huge transparent oval shaped demon larva emerged from the ground. Mikino was the first to be ready to fight it, just as she was running towards it even though she was powerless Hayate grabbed her wrist.

"You idiot!" he yelled as he gave her a small knock on the head.

"What? We have to defeat it, help these people, and find my dad!" she yelled in an annoyed voice.

"You're powerless, take note!" Hayate yelled back.

Mikino let out a small sigh and stretched her hand out towards Goh, who gave her a confused face.

"Pret with me!" she told him. As soon as their hands touched, a bright white illuminated the area. When it vanished, Mikino had on a red short sleeved shirt, with orange ruffled sleeves, along with an orange dress, an orange skirt, and red flats. Her hair was up in a high ponytail and she was immediately ready to fight.

"Be careful Mikino! I'm the shield here!" Goh warned her as she nodded, as a flame emitted from her hand, and a long sword, whose handle was red, with a flame body, was drawn from the small fire. She flew towards the demon larva and stuck her sword in it...but it didn't seem to work. The demon larva's tentacle shot towards her, and Goh let out a small cry.

"I'm sorry!" she said as she jumped back.

"Ow...just be careful next time" Goh told her as she nodded signaling she understood.

i 'Just concentrate Mikino! I'm doing this for dad and these people!' /i she told her self as Hayate and the others watched on.

"Why can't we-"

"This could count to see if she'll win..." a tentacle grabbed Mikino even though she couldn't feel it...it was Goh getting the pain.

"I'm sorry...really am!" she said as she cut off the tentacle.

Would she win?
