Chapter Six: Movie Horror

"Himeno, people are staring at me," Hayate said forwardly. They had just stepped out of one of those street cars, with Yayoi beside them.

"And...that's all?"

Earlier on, Himeno had put some concealer on his forehead that belonged to Mayune. The shade of it was perfect for his skin color.

"Well this type of make-up you put on me, is it too noticeable?"

"It's concealer and no it's not noticeable. I can hardly tell you have a large inset bruise on your forehead."

Himeno wanted to hide the truth that she was getting jealous of the girls who were staring holes at him. He's the most handsomest person she knows.

Himeno walked up to Hayate and softly touched his forehead to reassure that the concealer was dry.

"Still sore," Himeno questioned with a concerned look. She backed her hand away from Hayate and settled it down to her side. "N..no," Hayate's cheeks flushed, "I'm fine." He crossed his arms around his chest, trying to hold back the embarrassment. "Oh, okay." A smile highlighted Himeno's face.

"Let's get going or we're going to miss it!" Himeno grabbed Hayate's wrist and hauled him along with her.

"Wwwait where are we even going?"

"We're going to go see a movie. Do you like scary movies Hayate?"

He still had the don't-pull-to-hard-on-me look when he started to answer.

"Yyeah I'm fine with them, but do they even have movie theaters in a mall?"

"Mmhmm, you didn't know that Hayate?" Himeno looks over her shoulder.

"No, I've never been to a mall before."

Himeno smiles cheerily, "Then you're in for a treat."

Hayate's expression changed a little with a faint blush lingering on his left cheek.

"H..hi..himeno are you sure it's okay to watch this movie," Yayoi shivers in pale white.

"Why not? Are you scared," Himeno rips out an evil expression. "Nnno!"

"Then let's go watch it! Onward!" Himeno threw a fist in the air like she was a conductor of a marching band. She was still dragging Hayate behind her.

"...k." Yayoi felt stupid for not telling the truth. Even if she told the truth now, it would be too late.

Finally they stopped in front of the theater with ten signs of movie selections. Hayate bent down and whispered into Himeno's ear.

"What exactly are we watching?"

Himeno dug around into her purse and took out the movie tickets. Hayate picked one of them up and read "The Ring" on it.

"Wait, isn't this movie a little old?"

"Nah, were watching the American version in Japanese sub."

"But that's like an eight year old movie. Why would they have it here?"

"Japan just got it done in Japanese sub. So they finally released it this month."

(A/N: None of this is true, I just made that up.)

"Himeno?"

"Yes?"

"Did you originally have three tickets to begin with?"

'Crap,' Himeno screamed in her head.

"I..uh, bought an extra one to see if Mmawata wanted to come..." Himeno stuttered.

Hayate give her a blank face for a second and finally says,"...liar."

"I'm nnot lying!"

'The truth is I wanted Hayate to come from the start, but I was too scared to ask him!'

Rivers of tears came race down her face even though she was smiling. She held a fist close to her chest, reminding herself to calm down.

"You wanted me to come the whole time," Hayate asked,"If you wanted me to come so badly, you could have asked me."

'He just read my mind, didn't he?'

"But what would your answer be if I asked you earlier?" Himeno loosened the grip on Hayate's wrist, so he was free to slip his hand out of hers.

Hayate turned his back to her. "Hayate?"

He twists his head sideways, looking to his side. A blush had spread out on his cheeks, he was a little embarrassed to answer. "Y...yes."

Himeno felt her face turn hot. "I.. uh... well," Himeno failed completely on making a sentence form through her pink lips. Hayate's attention turned to Himeno, notcing that she was blushing with him. Himeno saw Hayate's eyes on her and her body almost gave out from overheating. They totally forgot about Yayoi while staring at one another; that was because they were thinking about each other.

"How long are you both going to stare at one another," Yayoi pops in.

Both Hayate and Himeno snap right back into reality. "Oh,uh..,"both stuttered together.

"Himeno...? Were you flirting with him," Yayoi said.

'GAH!' Himeno and Hayate's whole body highlighted in different shades of red. Himeno panicked by swinging her arms all around in the air. "N...nonononono," they both shouted.

"Ah," Yayoi smirked, "and why are you blushing so furiously?"

"Eh, I..." This was so hard on the 16 year old. Words were still not processing right from the blushorama stage.

"OH I KNEW IT!" Yayoi embraced Himeno tightly.

"Huh?"

She had that gleam in her eye. Tears of joy were being forced out of her. "Oh Himeno, has spring finally sprung?"

"Wwhat?"

She was afraid to what Yayoi was about to say in a second.

"Are you in lov-"

Himeno slapped a hand across Yayoi's mouth. "Shhhhh, be quiet." Himeno put a finger up to her nervous smile. "Please Yayoi..."

Yayoi's eyes glittered like fairy dust in the moon light. Rose petals danced around her as she grabbed Himeno's hand and squealed.

She wasn't exactly taking Himeno seriously.

"This is a dream come true Himeno! Now I can write about your love life and Mr. Tanaka's love life!"

"BAM"

Himeno fell to the floor with her leg hanging in the air, her left eye started to twitch vigorously from irritation of the awkward-friend kind.

'Why does Yayoi have to be like this?'

Himeno lifts up her arm to her face to read the time off of her watch. The watch said 2:46 and she was sure that the movie would start at 3:00.

"Crap, it's almost starting!" She jumps back up on her feet.

"C'mon you guys, lets go!"

Himeno marched and into the line (where you give the person your ticket), fifth from the front. She searched for the tickets in her pockets and purse but couldn't find them. "Looking for these?"

The three tickets floated in front of her face, attached to a hand, then an arm going over from behind her head.

She followed the arm until she was looking up at a wash of blue.

"You handed them to me earlier, remember?"

A sweat drooped on the side of Himeno's face. "Oh yeah, thanks."

She opened up the palm of her hand and Hayate kindly gave her the tickets.

"You also might want to move up. The girl is waiting for us."

"I kinda know that Hayate. I'm not that stupid," Himeno pouted her face up to Hayate's.

"Oh so your not that stupid, huh? Then why are you here picking a fight instead of handing the girl the stupid tickets."

"Grrrr," Himeno growled under her breath, "You always have to win..."

She started walking with Hayate and Yayoi following in every foot step. "Here you go, three tickets to see "The Ring"."

"Thank you and not to be rude, but do you and your boyfriend fight all the time?"

"He's not my boyfriend and yes... we do," Himeno grumpily stated. 'This is the second time someone pointed it out.'

"Well you two look great together."

Himeno looked behind her and saw that Yayoi and Hayate weren't paying much attention. Yayoi was trying to squeeze information out of Hayate. She had a notebook in her hands and a pen; Hayate had flushed cheeks at about every word Yayoi asked. "So how long have you had your feelings?"

"Will you please be quiet Miss Yayoi."

"Oh, you can just call me Yayoi. So... how long has it been since your first kiss?"

"Wwhat?"

The corners of Himeno's lips curled into a smile. She could help but to smile at Hayate; to her, it looked so funny and cute when Yayoi does the things to him like she did to Tanaka.

"Maybe..."

Himeno waved at her friends' faces to steal back their attention.

"Hey you guys, I handed in the tickets. Lets go in now before the movie starts without us."

"He doesn't love you..."

She heard a faint whisper in her ear that sounded like a woman's voice.

"Huh?"

Himeno turned to the direction where the whisper came from. She was sure that it came from beside her, but there wasn't anything but the particles of air.

Hayate was already ahead of her, he noticed that she was looking for something that wasn't there. "Is there something wrong Himeno?"

She snapped back into reality, "Oh, uh it's nothing."

"Well then, lets go... since your the one rushing us."

"Uh...okay." She ran up next to Hayate, though she didn't need to; he was only twelve feet away.

"Hahmhmhmhmhmhm, get ready girl, your in for a treat."

A purple like flame dissipated as quick as it appeared. No one to see it, touch it, or even hear it.

"Crap, I forgot the popcorn," Himeno shot up from her seat.

"Figures," Hayate cooed under his breath.

Himeno glanced over her shoulder and gave Hayate the evil eye. "Shut your mouth Hayate, before I shut it for you."

She walked away with footprints in the floor. Hayate looked in her direction a had an amusing smirk curling up on his lips.

Yayoi and Hayate already took there seats in the very back row. They left a seat in between them for Himeno, of course both of them wanted to sit next to her.

-With Himeno-

'What a jerk. How could I ever have fallen in love with a guy like him?'

She was still holding the grudge from a few minutes ago, between her and Hayate.

'He's a total jerk! A person with no sense of humor. A pain in the neck that has no smile or emotion at all!'

Himeno strained her veins as she let her anger over whelmed her.

'Suck an arrogant butt-hole who loves to pick a fight with me! Why did I even want him to come with me anyway?'

Flashbacks zip through her mind, remembering all the times she spent with Hayate. The anger drains from her heart leaving it with the feeling of sadness.

'Grr, why does it have to be him! He always... he always... he always is the one who comforts me when I'm shivering or really upset. The one who protects me from anything that strikes at me. I love his smile so much... Why can't I see him smile at me with love?'

Her paces slow down and the distance between her and the counter didn't get any smaller. Nervousness approaches her; she takes hold on the back of her arm rubbing it over and over.

'I remember my mother telling me this poem called Love Secret. It would go like this...

Love can heal

Love can kill

Love can change

By it's greatest appeal.

Love will start

But will never end

For that is God's

Greatest intent.

Love was made

To balance the hate

But it's no different

In that trait.

Love has secrets

That are hard to reveal

But when it comes to it

You'll know how you feel.

Now I know what my mom meant by that poem. She wanted me to be careful when ever love comes rolling towards you, when it knocks you down it'll be hard to get back up.'

Rubbing the nape of her neck, she reaches the counter. "May I have a bucket of popcorn with butter please?"

"Yes ma'm."

The register beeped at the finger touch of the employee pushing in the buttons. "That would be $2.25." (AN:Hey I don't know how yen works so I'm using our style of money until I learn the use of yen.)

Himeno gathered her wallet pulling out several dollars full; those think greens that we like to call... money. In change she got back seventy-five cents so she had paid three bucks. (Sorry for making it sound like what you would do in math class.)

She perked up a fake smile and walked away with her popcorn as soon it was begging for her to eat it.

She was already taking in bite sized bites when in walking back to her seat. The movie hadn't started just yet, so she was lucky to come back early.

"Took you long enough, Himeno."

She gave him a stern look. "I was thinking about something on the way there." 'Which is the truth.'

"Like...?"

"None of your business."

Hayate watched her sit down, eating her popcorn. He dipped his hand into the bucket and ate some popcorn himself.

"...whatever," Hayate said without any emotion. "Let's watch this thing."

'He always acts like this, but... he has gotten nicer.'

Her unusual feelings had always found some way to come through and pull her out of anger. Though these feelings would make her upset. Not just because she thought that it would be impossible for them to have a future, but also the impossibility to control something out of her reach, Hayate's feelings.

These questions made her feel like it was eating her her heart out; nagging at her to confess. In the end, there would be no courage left to tell him.

The same problem lies with Hayate as well. From all the countless times he's been so hostile to her, calling her names, picking fights with her. His intentions in the past were only to make the distance farther away.

His plan had failed him; it only eliminated the gap in between. Bringing him closer to Himeno.

All he wanted now was to have her all to himself. But he felt like that wasn't the right thing to do... her happiness was more important than making her fall in love with him.

They were right in the middle of the movie, where the woman was fist fighting with Samara.

Hilarious is what Himeno thought. And to Hayate... well... it was free movie without him paying the ticket, might as well watch it.

Yayoi was actually getting interested in watching this movie... something you really would inspect from her. She's already into romance, so why not horror at the moment?

A fast, translucent violet mist came out from under Himeno's seat and struck her back.

"Hahahhaha."

A violet scar sliced diagonally down her back.

The deep color of blood was forced out by the tiny light and oozed out all over the backside of her shirt. The sharpness of agony hit her like ten thousand knives cutting away at her body and flesh.

Leaning over to her knees, she felt the rush of blood throwing itself out of her mouth as she coughed. 'W...what's happening?'

Hayate heard a moan coming from his right side. He turned his head to look and his pupils shrunk down to the size of a pin point. He was shocked that a tremendous amount of blood that was coming out and out of nowhere at such a randomness time. 'How could this have happen?'

"Himeno!"

Hayate had startled Yayoi. She also looked over and saw the pool of blood at her friend's feet.

"Ahh, Himeno!"

People stood around and made a crowd. "Oh my gosh, what happened to her!"

Girl and guys started to chatter with some had their cellphones out ready to call an ambulance.

'What the heck has happened? All we did is watch a movie and out of the blue, she's bleeding to death!'

Hayate took off his work jacket and wrapped it around the wound on her back to stop the flow of blood from exiting her body.

'I'm not leaving you like this Himeno!'

"Yayoi, go get some help and quick!"

"Rrright!"

Yayoi ran from her seat down the stairs and out the door.

"H...hayate?"

"Himeno, don't move... your bleeding"

"Hayate, I think she's back... I heard her laugh at me before my...", Himeno didn't finish her sentence; she had fainted from the blood loss.

"Himeno!"

Hayate held her unconscious body close to his, with one question stuck to his mind.

'What did she mean by "she's back"...?'

Ooooh cliff hanger...

I know this chapter may not make any sense right now. But if you have been following my storyline, you ought to know what's going on. I have been working on this chapter on through Halloween and I was going to update this chapter then... but it was never finished.

Thank you guys for being so patient! May God bless you all!
