Hey guys. It seems I have made some grammar mistakes in my last chapter. Sorry about that, I'm not professional but I try my best at putting my heart into these chapters. Also I'll be posting a new fanfic for Pretear in a few days or weeks. Just keep a look out for it! It'll be called Pretear: White Destiny. Sorry to the person who has the same title as the new fanfic, but it'll be a different kind of plot. In the new fanfic, there will be some things you'll have to read in the "BOLD" letters that I'd advise you to read so you can understand how the chapters/episodes are going to go through. Thanks !

Chapter 4: If Nightmares Come True

Lightning strikes everywhere with thunder crackling so loud you could feel the ground shake like an earth-quake. The grass's green color turns black as it crumbles to ashes in burning flames. All of the trees' bark peels off from it's hollow home and the leaves fall to the ground with nothing left but remains of ash. Every fresh drop of water is now nothing but moldy, smelly, and brown gunk flowing along the currents. The lovely blue sky, was no longer blue. It was yellow and black due to the smoke that came from the fires.

"No this can't be happening," Hayate yells in terror. "I thought we saved the leafe from this world!"

Flying through the air, he looks around seeing no signs of life anywhere. "What's happening?"

"I'll tell you what's happening Hayate," an evil laughter comes from behind. Tentacles shoot strait at him and grabs his leg. The energy that he stored in his body was fading from him,'Shoot, I'm losing Leafe!'

He swings his hand like a blade at the unknowing tentacle and cuts it from his leg. "Hahahaha, afraid of losing Leafe Hayate?"

"Grrr," Hayate turns to the evil laughter. There was nothing there, nothing but invisible air. The laughter continues as Hayate tries to figure out where it was coming from.

"Who are you?"

"Who am I, Hayate," the voice calms down. Slowly appearing piece by piece, a woman with long, dark purple hair; wearing a long, purple gown, shredded at the bottom; with skin matching her hair and gown, and eyes that glow bright gold.

"Who am I," she screams wind. The wind that came out, change into crystal like daggers and fly head straight for Hayate. He doesn't hesitate for a second and pulls out barriers. The crystal daggers penetrate his barrier, making him hit the ground like a large boulder.

"Hahaha, don't you recognize me Hayate? You have fought me all your life!"

Hayate struggles to stand, his back didn't feel well and his legs were burning in agony.

"Fenrir, how did you?"

"You thought you defeated me? Ha, that was Takako you pulled through."

"What? I thought if a Pretear lets go of her good side, she'll become the Princess of Disaster."

Fenrir smiles at his confusion. Everyone of the Leafe Knights thought that if a Pretear loses themselves their the dark side, they would become a Princess of Disaster.

"You are right Hayate, but you are wrong as well."

"How am I wrong," Hayate throws wind blades at her.

She repels the attack and sends it right back to Hayate, slashing his stomach and chest.

"You are right about a Pretear turning into a Princess of Disaster if she wants to give up to her dark side, but what you don't know is that they become me. I use every part of her personality, feelings, and image of her and take it as my own. After you defeat me, I wait for the next Pretear to lose herself after you throw her away. When she loses to her dark side, I feed into her body and mind. Then I revive again, as the one and only Princess of Disaster."

"What," Hayate huffs out losing his ability to stand.

"It seems I took a bunch of Leafe from you. Poor thing, looks like you can't even stand."

Hayate shoots a glare at her. "Shut up!" He throws a wind sword at Ferir with some of his energy, he didn't want to fade away without knowing she's gone for good.

She catches the sword after a slight dodge. "Is that the best you can do," Fenrir snickers. Her hands glow red, melting the sword completely.

"Wait, if you steel the next Pretear's power after she loses her sanity to the evil side. Does that mean Himeno's...," Hayate begins to panic.

"Don't worry about Himeno, she's still your precious Pretear. I found some one else to regain my powers from."

Bringing up Himeno was the worst thing he could do right now. 'I could use Himeno against him,' Fenrir thought.

"Do you lover her Hayate? Do you love your weak legendary white Pretear?"

"What does that have to do with anything," Hayate screams. He recovers his ability to stand and flies up towards Fenrir. She smiles thinking,'What a fool.'

The split ends of her hair zap fast enough to grab him by his wrists and ankles. "I can feel your rush of feelings flow when you hear her name. Your madly in love with Himeno."

Hayate flinched when he heard those last few words. "So! As long as I love her, I won't give up fighting for her!"

"Hehehe, is that so Hayate? Would you fight for her anymore if I told you the truth?"

"Truth, what truth," Hayate gives her a confusing look.

'Hehehe caught him where I want him.' She moves closer to Hayate, still holding him tightly.

"The truth is...she doesn't harbor the same feelings for you. All you do is insult and yell at her! Do you think she'll ever love you after what you do to her?"

"Huh?"

'Yes Hayate, feel the pain and rejection.'

"I...know she may not love me. And yes I'm scared to death of rejection. But...," Hayate pauses smiling up at Fenrir, "..but as long...as she's happy and safe."

"Grrr, what?" Fenrir slings Hayate to the ground. "Would you even die for that weakling?"

Hayate snickers,"To me she's not weak. If she's able to beat you, you are weaker than her."

"I asked you a question," she shoots out her split ends, changing into stakes.

"Yes, I would die for her!" Hayate dodges the attack and throws a tornado at her. "Then you shall lose your life now!" She redirects the wind tornado, making it into a dragon. "Hahaha! Die Hayate!" The dragon picks up speed, hurdling down to Hayate. "Ahh!"

End of dream...

"Gah," Hayate wakes up from a cold sweat. He looks around at his surroundings. 'It seems I fell asleep in the work room.' The door screeches open with a candle light lighting up a small area. "Huh, who's there," Hayate stands up to the candle light in defense. "It's just me Hayate. I came to see how you were doing. You fell asleep a few hours ago," Himeno sets the candle down on the work table. "Oh, sorry Himeno. I thought you were someone else," Hayate bars down his defense.

"Did you have a nightmare, Hayate?"

"No...I just," Himeno inturupts him, "Don't you dare lie to me, Hayate. When I came down here, you were moaning like a ghost."

Hayate jerks, frighten from Himeno's serious act. He carely sits back down on his stool nodding slowly. Himeno takes a stool and places it to where she's face to face with him. She desperately wanted to know about his nightmare. "Tell me about it."

"Uhh..."

"C'mon Hayate, it's better if you tell me."Himeno puppy eyes him.

Sweat drops down Hayate head. 'Oh man, how can I resist those eyes?' Her eyes sparkle from the moon light shining through the window.

"Fine.."

Hayate told her everything what he had to tell. There was a little hesitation, in few sentences and a few words. It felt so much better to him to open up to someone who he really trusted his life with. He never felt a soothing sensation with anyone he knew before. All he knew were his brothers and Takako. Hayate and his brothers didn't have any parents to begin with, they were just born by the light of life. So he was the only one to take care of the family, he always had his brothers, but when it came to trouble with his own feelings, he kept them to himself; afraid of being insulted or judged. With the way he talked with Himeno right now, it felt so refreshing.

Like before when he told her about Takako in the old church, it was hard for him to say every little word of the subject. Later on he felt happier that she did know about her, it was confusing why he felt so happy; he tried to deny that feeling, but that feeling took over him; so there was no way he could deny any longer.

Himeno moves her seat next to Hayate's. It was obvious to her that he needs to be comforted. By the look on his face, he looked a little relieved but still scared, she wanted to make him feel okay. She leans onto his arm, closing her eyes with a smile

"There's no need to feel anymore worried Hayate. I'm here with you." She feels the burn of blush on her face.

"Himeno,"Hayate says ,surprised by the her actions. "I'm here with you Hayate, I don't regret feeling happy when I'm next to you. Do you feel happy being beside me Hayate?"

His expression softens, relaxing his gaze on her. "Yeah..."

"That's good," with those last words, she falls asleep on Hayate's arm. Her body being so close to his, he felt her heart beat slowing down and go within an easy rhythm. Her breathing easily slows down with the heart beats. 'She's asleep...'

There was a new couch that had been placed across the room a few days ago. It wasn't a leather couch, it was softer like a pillow; very easy to sleep on.

'She needs it more than I do,' with the thought put in his mind he carefully picks her up and lies her down on the soft cushioned couch. ' I btter blow out the candle too.' He blows out the candle making the area dark; he was able to see from the moon light that shined through the window, there was no problem for him to see everything in place. He had no blanket with him, so he removes his long white jacket and covers her from the chest, down. He, of course was taller than her. So a long jacket that fits him was big enough to cover Himeno's body.

"Good night tulip-head," he whispers to her. Hayate lightly pats her head hoping it would bring her sweet dreams.

He walks over to pull a chair against the wall next to the couch, close to see her face. Hayate sits quietly in the chair, 'It's either be quiet, or have my jaw bruised.' Looking over at her face, he notices her smiling in her sleep. 'That's odd.'

Hayate never has seen her do that before; as confused as he was, the question in his mind was resolved as Himeno says his name,"Hayate."

Blood rushes to his face, slowly forming into a faint blush. He smiles, knowing that it's him she's dreaming about. 'I want to tell her everything I think about her,...it's just that... she only thinks of me as a good friend. But she's dreaming about me...she must have some feelings in store for me. No, she can't...she just can't, from the way I've treated her in the past...there's no possible way.'

He leans his head against the hard wall, staring holes into the ceiling. 'I wonder...,' he shuts his eyes, "...I wonder if she could ever grow to love me," He whispers out of his mouth as he drifts off into dreamland once again.

Up on the roof of the work room, Sasame heard what Hayate had whispered. He had been there for hours,sitting there enjoying the sight of the full moon; night was a really good way to listen to someone that is up during the night. Sasame was always nice and generous person to others, but sometimes he just want to have a little fun to do. 'Hmm...you always thought a lot, Hayate.'

The knight of sound stands up, listening to others sleeping. He changes into his uniform and flies off the roof then onto the ground. Concentrating, he sets his thoughts on Takako. An image in his mind stirs and there was Takako sleeping like a baby in their bed. 'I better be heading back to her. Three more hours til dawn, if she wakes up in the middle of the night, she'll be wondering where I am.'

He flies up into the night sky, wishing Hayate sweet dreams. Himeno wasn't the only one who heard his moaning.

!PLEASE READ!

Gah! I don't like short chapters! But I was in a rush to finish this chapter. I don't want my ideas bunging together, so I had to make this chapter short. I hope you liked it though, for a short chapter! There might have been some grammar mistakes, but hey I'm not a professional... I'll get better.

So just to tell you now, before you go thinking that I'm stopping the fanfic without finishing it; I don't have an idea for the next chapter. So it'll be awhile before chapter 5 will come out. I'll be working on a short fanfic called Valentine's Sweetness (that will be an additional obstacle for me, since I'm working on another fanfic).

Valentine's Sweetness should be coming out on the 31st of this month or the 2nd of next month. You see, school is coming up soon for me. School starts on the 11th of next month, so I will be busy getting ready for the first day. And after that it'll be much longer to get my fanfics out and done. But if I have free time on weekends, I'll be working on them. So thanks again!

Til next time,
