Near Death Experiences
what was happening in Himeno's mind while she was unconscious
Himeno sobbed as she sat in a small dark room with concrete walls. "HELP!" She screamed. Her voice reverberated off the walls and left a terrible screeching noise behind. She choked on wracking sobs as she struggled to move. 'Is this hell?' She wondered. Suddenly she was back in the bathroom at her mansion. She looked around at the blood soaked floor. She heard a horrifying gagging sound and turned to see Hayate hanging from the door frame." So this is how Himeno felt as she died" He fought to say. He smiled strangely while he breathed out slowly. The life disappeared from his eyes as Himeno stared sickened at what she was seeing. She collapsed to the cold linoleum and cried the hardest she had ever done in her life. "No. No. No. No. No. Please NO!" She whispered insanely. She closed her eyes tightly attempting to shut out the image of Hayate hanging there lifelessly. When she gained enough courage to open them again she was in a hospital room.
With Hayate after Himeno woke up
Hayate quickly stood and walked into Himeno's room. "Himeno!" He said smiling.
Himeno turned her head towards the door to look at him. Her face was pale and distraught looking. "Hayate... is it really you?" she said hoarsely.
"Of course. Himeno, are you feeling any better?" Hayate said worriedly.
"I think so…" Himeno jumped up but regretted doing so immediately after. She cried out in pain while she crumbled to the floor. Hayate rushed to her side and began lifting her gently.
Himeno remembered everything in a flash. She swatted his hands away and stood slowly. "I'm not that useless, I can at least stand up on my own." She said angrily.
"Himeno, I didn't mean…" Hayate began nervously. "Shut…UP! I don't have time for your bullshit Hayate! You've already said all you needed to say, I'll disappear for you!" Himeno screamed and ran towards the door painfully.
Her legs burned like fire from the strain of holding herself up. "Wait Himeno!" Hayate said loudly. Himeno slowly turned to face him and tapped her foot impatiently. "I'm sorry Himeno. I really am!" Hayate pleaded.
"Sure you are. You're the god of perfection! Hayate, the amazing Knight of wind." Himeno snarled dangerously. She walked up to him and slapped him across the face. "I hate you." With that she spun around and stormed out the door. There were muffled voices yelling outside as Himeno exited the room. "Miss Awayuki! You shouldn't be walking; it's very risky to even be sitting up right now!"
Hayate barely heard anything as he touched the throbbing red mark on his face dumbstruck. Somehow her slap hurt much worse than her punch.
"LET ME GO" Himeno screamed as doctors swarmed around her pulling her back to her room where Hayate stood in the doorway watching, unable to move. Himeno felt a strange feeling bubbling up inside her.
The feeling exploded and she knocked the irritating doctors away with an outburst of kicking and punching. Himeno got a burst of adrenaline and began to run down the long hallway towards the reception area.
Hayate quickly chased after her. 'How the HELL is she moving so fast?' Hayate thought as he nearly caught up to her.
Himeno looked over her shoulder and skidded to a halt while facing Hayate ominously. "Stop following me Asshole." She spat. "Him- Himeno…why are you doing this?" He asked as he took a step backwards. "Are you afraid of a little worthless pretear, mister perfect?" She said acidly.
Himeno punched the nearest window, effectively smashing it. She grabbed a piece of glass and cut a long gash down the side of her face. "Do you get a sick twist of pleasure when you see me hurt myself?" Himeno stated, her voice dripping with malice. "No way! What are you talking about Himeno! Please stop!" Hayate cried and leap forward and grabbed her hand.
He didn't realize in doing so he cut her injured palm. Himeno instantly dropped the bloody glass and shrieked in pain. Hayate let go of her wounded hand and gasped. "I never thought you hated me that much.. To actually, physically hurt me Hayate… Maybe I mean nothing to you…" Himeno said remorsefully. She gradually turned to face the broken window.
She glanced down to the busy street below. Hayate felt the knot in his stomach tighten as he watched her look intensely down at the city. The window was about 5 stories high. She looked determined as she silently swung her legs over the glass covered ledge and readied herself to jump.
"Himeno!" Hayate cried and grabbed her upper arms tightly. "Let go or your going down with me." Himeno said wickedly. "I can't let you. Nobody is jumping out this window." Hayate said quietly.
"Well, I guess nobody is me." Himeno pulled away from Hayate's grip and flew gracefully away from the ledge. She soared downwards with her back to the ground. Himeno yelled to warn people below, she didn't want anyone to break her fall.
Hayate watched Himeno's stomach-churning decent not able to move. She seemed to be floating, a malevolent gleam in her eyes.
'Come on body, MOVE!' Hayate thought with panic clutching his heart. His eyes widened. "Why… Why can't I move?" He whispered desperately.
Himeno's eyes flickered slightly as she watched Hayate. "Goodbye…" She said quietly.
But then, something in Himeno's mind clicked if only for only a second. 'I don't want to die!' Her face ran freely with glistening tears.
"HAYATE!" A bloodcurdling scream rang out of the stunned silence.
