author's note.Hiya, my first Pretear fanfic. Sasame/Himeno romance:)takes
place some time in between the series, I have only seen up to the 9th ep
so there may be some OOC'ness. Also, since this a Sasame/Himeno romance,
its A/U. I sped up Sasame's recovery so he would find Himeno. Takes
place when Himeno is still in uncertain about Pretear and after Sasame's
wounded by Takako. Happens before Himeno decides to protect everyone
again. And obviously instead of Hayate bringin' her over....its Sasame-san!^_^
Also, I -may- write another chap. to this if anyone reviews and asks for
it ^_~
Dedication-Himeno-neechan for posting this ^_^ (webmistress' note: awwww...thank
you....)
Disclaimer-I do not own Pretear or this song "Hero" by Enrique Inglesias.
Claimer-I do own this song-fic idea.
Let me be your hero...
The rain fell steadily above, soaking forth the strawberry
haired young woman below its sultry gift. Tears of sorrow streamed down her
face, mixing forth with the tears that had fallen from the heavens high above.
Were they weeping along with her?
Weeping for her loss, for the rememberence, for the stupidity of so many?
Sullenly she pulled her knees closer to her chest. Pain filled her
heart as she sat brokenly on the stone bench of the Gardens of her 'home'.
Her home.
Was it truly that? She lived there, yes, but was she welcome?
Did it hold the warm inviting aura a home should have? No. It did not.
And to top it all off, she was now useless to the knights.
No longer could she bring herself to join with them. What if she failed?
What her power changed and she became another Saihi, a stronger one? She
couldn't protect everyone anymore. And because of her weakness Sasame had
gotten hurt. More then that, he'd nearly perished because of her. It was
all her fault!
Squeezing her eyes tighter she felt a new rush of tears
fall. Painfully she hugged her legs closer.
Suddenly she felt warm arms wrap around her gently. Holding
her close as though to ward off all the pain in the world from her.
Would you dance
If I asked you to dance?
Would run, and never look back?
Would cry if you saw me crien'
Would save my soul tonight?
Abruptly she rose her eyes to meet the watery violet eyes
of the Sound Knight.
"Sasame..."she whispered hoarsely. Turning she wrapped
her arms around his waist and buried her head in his chest.
"I'm sorry," she whispered brokenly as he clutched him close,"I'm so sorry.....I'm
sorry you got hurt because of me...because I can't Prét...I'm sorry
for being such a burden on everyone.......please, just find another Pretear
to replace me......Gomen...." her voice broke as she let loose a new flush
of tears.
The silver haired knight said nothing at first, simply
held the broken girl against him.
"You don't have to apologize, even if you can't Prét,
you're still you. And no one can replace you, Himeno. As for me being hurt,
that is not your fault. I should have been more careful. Himeno, if
it hurts to push yourself then don't. Its alright to quit."
Would you tremble
If I touched your lips
Would you laugh
Oh please tell me this
Now would you die
For the one you love
Hold me in your arms tonight
Himeno closed her eyes as the tears streamed down. Even
if she couldn't Prét, he still cared. He would not look for another
Pretear. The thought made the tears begin to slow slightly. Gingerly, she
raised her head to look up at Sasame. Not for the first time she noticed
just how kawaii he was. And how gentle and sweet he was. She found
herself studying the way his silver hair framed his marble face, how
his violet eyes lingered on her with deep affection. How she fitted so perfectly
in his arms, how he cradled her so gently. The sound of the rain around her
seemed to be muffled as she stared at her silver haired hero.
For in a way that was what he had become. Her Hero. Since
the first day she had become Pretear he had been understanding and caring
with her. Helping her with any problems she had. No matter what he
was always there.
As she looked up at her hero she longed for him to hold
her forever, and longer still. She couldn't remember when she'd felt so safe
and happy.
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away your pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Before she realized it Himeno found herself leaning upward
toward the Leife Knight. Her eyes closed as she kissed the knight fully.
Time stopped as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him
close. Acutely she felt him kiss her back firmly.
When he broke the kiss Himeno felt disappointment ring
through her. Glancing up into those violet orbs Himeno saw mingled emotions
raging from happiness to sadness to slight anger to joy.
"Sasame....I love you."
As she whispered the words she knew it to be true. She
loved him more than she'd ever loved anyone or anything. Fearfully
she stared up at him, fearing with all her heart that she would see rejection
there.
Would you swear
That you'll always be mine
Would you lie
Would you really be mine
Am I to weak
Have I lost my mind
I don't care
Your here tonight
Stunned the knight stared at her. Awed by her words. By
her proclamation. He had not dared to dream that it was true.
"Himeno.....I love you too....But I thought...you loved
Hayate..."
Himeno blinked in suprise,"Hayate? No, I care for him
as a friend...nothing more."
A smile fell across the Sound Knight's face as he held
her closer still. This moment he felt should last forever in time. Never
had he felt such happiness. He had loved Takako at one time....but
what he had felt for her was nothing compared to how he felt for Himeno.
She shook him to his very core and filled him with warm emotion at the mere
sound of her voice.
"Sasame..."she whispered as she stood up out of his embrace,
"come with me.."
Confused he did as she asked. Silently he followed her
into the mansion and through the maze of corridors until coming to her room.
With a smile she walked inside and gestured for him to do the same. His face
surprised he did so and she shut and locked the door.
"We should get out of these wet clothes," she whispered
as she turned her back to him and took of her shirt.
Instantly Sasame felt his face burn as he turned his gaze
to the floor and slowly took off his shirt and pants leaving himself only
in his boxers. His eyes rose to Himeno who had slipped on a tulip speckled
robe; which he was
certain she was probably wearing nothing beneath.
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away your pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
I just wanna hold you...
I just wanna hold you...
Oh yea..
Oh to be
Have I lost my mind
well I don't care
your here tonight..
Slowly, Himeno moved toward him and wrapped her arms around
his waist. Holding him close to her she backed toward the bed and laid
down with him moving to lay next to her. Moving her arms up so they rested
around Sasame's neck; she breathed deeply of that sweet gentle scent that
always seemed to cling to him.
Violet eyes glowed into hers with an unspeakable beauty.
Time passed and they held each other still. Staring deep into the eyes of
one another. Into each others' souls. No words escaped their lips, for none
were needed.
Outside the rain stopped and the clouds parted. The glorious
sun slipped into view casting down bright rays of benevolent light upon all.
The sign of a new beginning.
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
And I can be your hero!
I can kiss away the pain
And I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away....
I can be your hero.........
