Chapter 13

A chilly breeze met Himeno as she entered the room. Shivering, she covered her body with her arms and began to rub up and down her arms to stay warm. The room was almost cloudy; like it was surrounded by fog. The only light in the room was coming from something in front.

Himeno bravely took some steps over to observe it. She gasped when it came into view.

"Sasame!" A glass globe held Sesame's trembling body. The globe was sticking out of what appeared to be part of an enamors tree. Sasame looked pale and weak; as though he was being drained. Panicking, Himeno quickly ran over and began banging in the globe.

"Sasame! Sasame can you hear me! Hang on!"

Suddenly thick vines appeared and began to cover the globe. Himeno quickly moved her hands but the vines were covering the entire globe. She began to pull on them and she was shocked with electricity; sending her body hard into the ground.

"What's happening?"

"You're so pathetic Himeno" said a voice to her right. Mawatta appeared in her long black dress. She stood by the globe and peered down at Sasame. She placed a finger on the vines and they went away. Tracing her finger on the globe she smirked.

"How could you ever think you could defeat the great Fenrir? You're not even the pretear. Your stupid knights are all being disposed of. You couldn't even protect Shin." She let out an evil laugh. Himeno cringed at that and began to sit up.

Pain surged through her body as she stood up. She closed her eyes then looked straight at Mawatta.

"I often thought about that myself Mawatta." Her soft words made Mawatta take a step back.

Himeno then began to smile. "I know I look pretty stupid trying to fight Fenrir when I don't know how. I even thought about giving up when my friends were killed, but I didn't."

Himeno smiled up at Mawatta which made her uncomfortable. "Shin told me all I had to do is try. He was scared too, but he was still willing to fight. Shin, Mannen, Hajime, and Takako all tried. They laid their lives down to protect me and earth. They all tried, and that's what I'm going to do."

Mawatta twisted her lips into an angry frown. This wasn't the reaction she was expecting. "Trying you say, ha! Go ahead and try little Himeno. Try to free Sasame, let's see how trying can save your friend."

Himeno walked over to the globe and the vines sprung over the globe. She grabbed the vines and began to pull on them. A strong wave of electricity hit her and sent her flying further to the ground.

An evil laugh sprained out of her Mawatta's throat. "You see foolish girl! Trying does nothing! You cannot stop the great power of Fenrir. Soon all of Sasame's leafe will fuel The Great Tree of Fenrir and together we will destroy earth! There is nothing you can do."

Himeno's arms began to slide up off of the ground as she painfully started to get up. Mawatta was a little taken back as she watched her.

"What are you doing?" she muttered.

Himeno stood up and once more walked over to the globe. Mawatta's head began to throb as she realized Himeno was not planning to give up. This was confusing her. Before Himeno grabbed the vines she looked at Mawatta and smiled. Mawatta gasped.

"You…you're insane! You're going to kill yourself if you touch those vines."

Himeno turned her gaze towards Sasame. "Yes I know that. But Sasame is my friend, and I love him with all my heart. I know that it looks like I can't help, but I won't know unless I keep trying to the very end." Himeno turned back her graze towards Mawatta.

"I'm sure you know what its like to care for someone Mawatta . You still have a heart, that's why I'm going to help you too."

With all the strength in her, Himeno grabbed the vines and began to pull them off of the globe. Electricity once again striked her body. Mawatta stared in confession as Himeno was electrocuted Her headache was becoming painful. None of this was making sense to her.

"Himeno!" she shouted desperately. "There is nothing you can do! Sasame is powering the Great Fenrir with his leafe! You're too late! Give up!"

Through gritted teeth Himeno shouted, "Your wrong Mawatta. There is something I can do! I'm trying!"

She then focused on Sasame and closed her eyes despite the fact that she was in utterly pain. "Sasame. Sasame if you can hear me I need you to hold on to my voice. Whatever trance you're in you have to leave it. It's nothing but lies to keep you lock in this globe. Sasame your powering The Great Fenrir! You have to stop or she will kill everybody!"

The Great tree of Fenrir began to shake as Sasame seemed to hear Himeno's words. Mawatta noticed this and panicked as her the pain in her head became stronger.

"Stop it Himeno! You'll ruin everything!"

"Sasame I know they killed Takako, and I'm upset too but you have to let her go so when can stop Fenrir and help Mawatta! They're going to destroy earth like they did Leafenia!"

"STOP IT!"

With all that was in her Himeno said," think of Takako and all that she was about. Would she be proud of you that you gave up Sasame. That you decided not to try, and think of how you look compared to our little ones. They gave their lives to protect me and save earth. Sasame I need your help! Awwww!"

Himeno's hands let go of the vines and she fell towards to the ground. The Great Tree of Fenrir gave a scream as Sasame's globe began to crack. The globe began to shatter as the vines shriveled up. Sasame fell out and landed next to Himeno's body.

The Great Tree of Fenrir began to turn gray as its source of leafe slowly left its body. "Fenrir!" Mawatta shouted. She ran through a door and up a flight of stairs.

Sasame's body began to twitch as he came to. He had lost a lot of leafe but not enough to kill him. Fenrir had replayed Takako's death over and over again in Sasame's head. She lived off of despair, vengeance, killings, and anything that wasn't positive.

Himeno's words had reached out to Sasame. He had tried to ignore her but he remember all that Takako was about and the love and happiness that they shared. He had to leave his trance.

Sasame's eyes slowly opened. Himeno lay beside him unconscious. She had lost most of her leafe but not enough to kill her, though her breathing had slowed down tremendously. Sasame sensed this and extended his hand to her. He had enough leafe to restore her if not completely.

Weakly, Sasame placed his hand on the palm of her hand and his reaming leafe fluttered into her body.

Air puffed up her chest and her eyes open. She stared at the ceiling to she came to and the past situation fluttered back into her head.

"Sasame," she called lifting herself up. Though she had more leafe, she still had her aches and pain but not enough to keep her down.

She sensed something to her left and found Sasame laying lifeless. He was pale and weak, but a smile was planted on his lifeless cheeks.

Himeno's lips began to tremble and her emotions consumed her. Tears streamed down her face. She wrapped her arms around her body and closed her eyes to weep. Suddenly Himeno began to feel that familiar feeling she had when she prêt with Sasame.

'Himeno,' he whispered from inside her. 'Himeno forgive me for all I have done and take what's left of me. Don't you ever give up. I know we're going to win in the end. Help Mawatta and… take care my sweet princess.'

Himeno stared at Sasame with damp eyes for what felt like forever. She was trying to take him in before she left him. She bent over and kissed him on his forehead.

"I promise you, I will never give up and I'll fight to the end with all that's within me."

With tears in her eyes, she stood up and headed towards the door that Mawatta had taken.

'I promise you all, I will not give up. I know we can win and I'm going to help Mawatta and somehow; unknown to me, we're all going to get through this. All of us together!'

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO. XO

Mawatta pushed through the doors and rushed over to the Great Tree of Fenrir. Fenrir was withering away. Sasame was not only its leafe source but his grief was also fuelling her. Vines were whipping and throwing out electricity everywhere. It was confused.

The tree lived off of hurt, pain, suffering, grief, and anger. Since Sasame had come out of his trance because of Himeno's loving words, Fenrir had nothing to feed off of. This was the first time that love had broken its spell.

A whip struck Mawatta on her face and sent her tumbling to the floor. She looked up with distraught at Fenrir.

"I have to do something! Sato! Sato cease your fighting and go grab Go! We need his bitterness to save Fenrir! Hurry!"

Another vine hit Mawatta sending pain throughout her body.

XOXOXOXOXOXOOXOX. XOXOXOXOOXOX. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO. XOXOXO

Himeno could feel cold air as she reached the top of the stairs. Once she made it to the top she realized they were outside on the roof of the castle. She found Mawatta struggling to get up on her right side.

Another vine was coming at Mawatta. "Mawatta!" Himeno dashed over to her and pushed her out of the way. She was then struck and collapsed to the ground. Mawatta stared at her with big eyes. She was confused. Suddenly the vines were pulled back into the tree and Fenrir became silent.

Mawatta turned her gaze back to Himeno. "Why? Why did you do that? I would have been stopped for good, you're an idiot."

Himeno chuckled as she began to lift herself up. "Well I can be an idiot sometimes." Himeno smiled up at her. "Are you ok Mawatta?"

She stared at Himeno dumbfounded. "Why are you asking me this? You…you don't even care." Tears were welling up in her eyes.

"But I do care Mawatta, I care and I love you. I want to help you, Sasame wanted to help you, that's why he gave his remaining leafe to me, so that I can help bring you back."

Mawatta gave an emotionless chuckle. "Bring me back to what? For so many years I lived with bitterness, pain, and despair. Finally I thought I could change that by killing you all. I thought I could be happy again if you all were dead."

She was laughing and crying. She was hysteria.

"No Mawatta, Fenrir deceived you. You're not happy at all. Fenrir took advantage of you when you were at your lowest, but I know you have a good heart Mawatta. I know you can be help, you just have to trust me."

Himeno placed her hands on Mawatta shoulder's and looked her straight in her eyes. Himeno's face was filled with emotion. So many things had happen but at this moment she had a chance do something. Sasame was counting on her.

"You're so sweet Himeno. After all I have done you are willing to help me. Did you know I was planning to use Go's bitterness to fuel The Great Tree of Fenrir."

Himeno's eyes sadden but she never let go of Mawatta. "Tell me then Himeno, are you still willing to help me when I'm killing everyone you truly love?

"It doesn't matter," called a voice from behind them. Sato appeared before them holding Hayate's limp body.

"Hayate!" Himeno screamed finally letting go of Mawatta. Both Sato and Hayate were bleeding and pretty beat up, but Hayate was far worse. Sato dropped Hayate on the ground and snarled.

"Kei killed Go before he could leave to fight Hayate. He used his last breath to kill him. What a pity."

"Yes a pity indeed" Mawatta said emotionless. "Why have you brought Hayate here Sato?"

"So that we may kill him and use Himeno as Fenrir's source of fuel."

Himeno jumped up and ran over to Hayate. She covered her body over top of his. Her face touched his and she could feel his low breathing.

Sato's icy eyes narrowed in anger. His blood stained hair whip him across his face as the wind picked up. He then turned to Mawatta.

"Shall I kill him now? This battle has gone on long enough and…"

"NO!" Himeno shouted peering out at both Sato and Mawatta. "You will not touch him!"

Sato pulled out his sword and snorted. "Sorry dear, but that's not your decision."

Mawatta stared at them but she wasn't actually looking at them. She was lost in her own little world. Nothing seemed right anymore. All this love, caring, and helping one another made no sense to her.

Fenrir had deceived her to point where destruction was the only way to be truly happy, but here Himeno was happy if she could save her love ones, and if she could save Mawatta.

"I don't want to kill anymore," Mawatta whispered staring blankly into space. "I want to be truly happy."

Suddenly Fenrir began to shake and a loud evil growl sounded. The tree opened and began to split in half and out came a large yellow gooey demon. Its face was large and ugly.

"Fenrir," Hayate muttered peering out from Himeno's hold.

"So it is finished," Mawatta said with a laugh. "I'm going to die to pay for my sins. This has to be done." It gave another gruesome growl and expanded its arms. They morphed into deadly sharp blades and went directly towards Himeno and Mawatta.

"Himeno run!" cried Hayate. "No! I won't leave you!"

With everything that was left in him, Hayate flipped Himeno around so that he was in the way of Fenrir's attack.

"Ahhhgh!" Hayate cried.

"HAYATE!" Fenrir pulled back its arms and Hayate fell completely on Himeno. His damp hair covered one side of her face.

"H-hayate, why?"

"Be-because I-I love you Himeno. I-I'm sorry I can't stay around to pro-tect you."

Hayate's body went completely limp and Himeno felt as though her heart had stopped. She had lost them all. All the leafe knights. Her family, the ones that truly loved her was all gone.

She couldn't cry, she couldn't scream. Nothing seemed to want to let her express her emotions. She just laid there with Hayate's warm body covering her.

Something clattered to the ground and Himeno looked towards its direction, then she gasped. Sato stood in front of Mawatta. He had tried to pull out his sword to protect her, but realizing that he wasn't fast enough, he jumped in front of her. Fenrir pulled back its arm and with a low grunt Sato feel backwards.

Mawatta caught him in her arms. She stared at him in horror. "Wha-what did you just do?

"You know what I did Mawatta. Don't tell me that Fenrir has stripped all of your senses away."

Mawatta was crying now. "I was so mean to you Sato, why?"

Sato placed his hand on her cheek and began to stroke it. "I don't care Mawatta. What you have done is take me in and made me feel that I was something and that I did belong to someone even if I didn't have your heart, I had a friend, and that means, a lot, to me…"

Sato's eyes closed and his hand dropped from off her face. Mawatta panicked. "Sato! Sato! Nooo!" She was shaking him even though she knew he wouldn't wake up. Both Sato and Hayate were gone.

A low growl came again from Fenrir. It was preparing for its last attack, this time it would be powerful.

"Mawatta," called Himeno from beside her. Mawatta looked up. She was surprise to see Himeno who had a pleasant smile on her face. "Are you ready for me to help you?"

Without a thought, Mawatta carefully laid Sato down and stood up to face Himeno. "I'm ready Himeno."

Himeno extended her hand and Mawatta placed her hand on top of Himeno's. "Together Mawatta, we're going to stopped Fenrir and save earth. Together we're going to make things right."

"Together" Mawatta repeated. They closed their eyes and became one. Mawatta's body was merged into Himeno's. In a bright white light, Himeno transformed to the white snow princess, but with Mawatta, she was now the white snow pretear.

In her light snowy pink dress, Himeno prepared herself for the battle.

She could feel everyone inside her. All her loved ones leafe and might making her strong. Fenrir opened its mouth and sent a powerful blast towards Himeno. Himeno quickly stretched out her arms and sent a blast towards Fenrir. There attacks collided and began a struggle.

All this new power and leafe was too much for her. If Mawatta had not prêt with her, she would have used the power of the white snow princess and died, but because she was now the white snow pretear, she had a chance.

Himeno could feel Fenrir's power weakening, but also she could feel the leafe in her body draining. She was using too much and the battle was lasting to long. With everything in her, she released all her power but not before calling out to something.

'If there is a such thing as love, and if you can hear me, bring back my friends, all of them. Put us in a place where we can live happily and where we don't have to fight anymore. Destroy all the memories we have of Leafenia, Fenrir, and our powers. Take our ability to prêt away.'

'If there is a such thing of love, let me see my three little brothers again and Kei, Go, Sasame, Takako, my love Hayate, Yayoi, Mawatta, and Sato. We all want to be happy, and I want to see smiling faces again. If there is a such thing of love, please grant my wish.'

Fenrir gave a loud scream as she was destroyed. Himeno closed her eyes and feel backwards into a warm bright light.

XOXOXOXOXOXO. OXOXXOXOOXOXOXOXOOXO. XOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXO.

A horn sounded as a girl with soft pink hair dashed across an intersection with three little boys following her.

"Hey watch it! Are you crazy!"

"My bad!" the girl cried back without turning around or slowing down.

"Man Himeno, you're going to get us all killed before we even make it too school."

Himeno turned her head to face him. She had a scary creepy smile that made Mannen shut up. "Oh Mannen, what am I going to do with you, hahaha."

"Come on guys! We need to sprint we have like two minutes to get to school" said Hajime picking up his speed.

"Yeah let's sprint!" said Shin running even faster.

They pasted Mannen and Himeno in a flash. "Hey!" they both cried out running after them.

Shin, Hajime, and Mannen's school loomed up first. They ran into the gates and Himeno ran by and waved to them then she stopped. The boys stopped as well. The late bell rung but no one moved. No one said anything, but finally Himeno smiled and said, "I love you guys."

"We love you too Himeno" said Shin and Hajime. Mannen frowned and folded his arms.

"Geeze Himeno, first you make us late, then you try and be gross, what's next."

They all laughed and the boys turned on their heels and ran inside, all but Mannen. Checking to see if the coast was clear he ran up to Himeno and hugged her. "I don't know why suddenly I want to hug you Himeno, but I do."

Himeno felt the same way too. It was as though something had previously happen but she had somehow forgotten it. Whatever it was, she didn't mind it at all.

She released him and he ran into the building. Himeno smiled then sprinted to her school.

She was lucky to have Kei as her first period teacher. He took favor on her and always let her off the hook if she was late. Kei pretended not to see her as she walked in and took her seat.

She opened her laptop and tired to follow what Kei was saying, but she decided to log on to facebook just to see if a certain someone was there. She smiled

'Hey Himeno guess what! And your late again girl, do I need to sleep over to get you up lol but guess what'

'Lol Yayoi yes you do, and you told Go that you think he's hot'

'haha very funny, but what if I did, that would be like an omg moment, anyways…IM NOT GOING TO AMERICA, MY PARENTS DECIDED THAT I CAN FINISH MY SCHOOLING HERE! YAY! LOL!

Himeno turned around and smiled brightly at her friend. Things were going to work out.

After class Kei walked up to Himeno and smiled brightly at her. Himeno had the same strange urge to smile brightly back at him, almost like seeing him was heard to believe.

"For some reason I'm so glad to see you Himeno, not that I have not wanted to see you. I just had this weird feeling like I haven't seen you in awhile when you were at my computer station last night, it's so weird."

Himeno laughed. "Yeah me too. I have the same feeling, even this morning with the little ones."

"Me too!" said Go who had been eavesdropping the whole time. Kei narrowed his eyes as a sweat dropped appeared on the side of his head.

Go wrapped an arm Himeno's shoulders. "I'm glad to see you today Himeno, hey why don't you and Yayoi come to my game tonight. Kei is coming too!"

Kei snorted and grabbed his briefcase. "Please, you know I don't like senseless games. I'll see you tonight."

Kei walked out the room and Go chased after him. "Oh come on Kei, we're family dude!"

Yayoi dashed back into the room and grabbed Himeno by the arm. "Hey what are you doing?"

"Shhh, come check this out." Yayoi led Himeno into the hallway and they hid behind some lockers. Himeno finally spotted what Yayoi was trying to show her.

Mawatta stood in front of some lockers nervously holding her books. A young handsome boy with white long hair and stunning blue eyes was talking to him.

"Who is that?" Himeno asked staring at him in awe. A wave of confusion swept over her. It was something about him that reminded her of someone but she couldn't figure out who he was. "I feel like I know him from somewhere."

"He's gorgeous isn't he. He just transferred here yesterday from Kyoto, and he has the hot's for Mawatta. Man is she lucky. They're going to be the it couple!

"The it couple," Himeno repeated still staring at them. Seeing them together for some reason felt right. She smiled brightly. "Yeah, the it couple."

The bell rung and both Himeno and Yayoi headed to their history class.

"Hey, after the game why don't you come to my house and hear Sasame's radio program. He has a special guest" Yayoi sung clasping her hands together.

Himeno chuckled. "Oh yeah that's right, Takako will be there with him. I still can't believe he confessed his love for her live over the air. It was romantic." Himeno now had her hands clasped together.

"Oh Himeno, I knew you believed in love. Now we just have to get you and that Hayate together."

Himeno's face grew red and she looked away. "I wish you would stop saying that. Hayate doesn't even like me, besides; I'm too much of a klutz. I'll probably do something stupid."

"He's just shy, some hot, mean, obnoxious, and overly rated guys are, ohhhh I have the perfect story for you! Let me just see here."

Suddenly Himeno realized that she left her history text book in her pervious class. Seeing that Yayoi was occupied with rampaging through her book bag, she fled.

'Oh great! Now I'm going to be late for another class. I'm so getting detention this Friday."

She rushed into the classroom and up to her desk but found it empty. Sighing she tried to think of where it could be until she heard a low voice.

"Are you looking for this?"

"Hayate," Himeno muttered. Hayate stood in front of the classroom holding Himeno's text book. He looked very happy to see her and amused. She was surprise to see him even though he had been her lab partner all year long, but seeing him now felt like she had lost him or something.

Hayate must have felt the same way too because his expression had changed.

"What are you doing here?"

Smiling he said, "I saw that you left your book here and I was hoping that you would come back to get it."

Himeno blushed. "Oh." He extended his arm, holding the book out to her.

She walked over to him, but twisted her ankle and started to fall sideways. Hayate quickly moved to catch.

She stared into his lovely dark blue eyes, and he stared into her pink eyes. Usually she would be nervous to be around him, but Hayate holding her in his arms felt so natural it made her calm. The late bell rung and they both busted out laughing for some unknown reason.

"You're going to be late now. You might have detention on Friday."

"Will you be there" he asked still staring into her eyes.

"Unfortunately, yeah."

"Then fortunately I will be there."

Hayate lifted Himeno up. "I guess we should head to our classes." Hayate nodded. Without thinking her bent over and kissed her on her cheek. Blushing Himeno felt warmth and bliss.

He held her hand and together they headed out the classroom.

'If there is a such thing of love, thank you.'
