Mistook Feelings (Hayate x Nagi Fanfic)

4: Death

It's been decided. This fanfic will have 12 chapters (not including announcements)! So basically... In May, this story will be finished unless I announce that I have a hiatus. 

And if you thought that I'm making some kind of Hayate x Harem fan fic, nope. I'm just making them appear in this fan fiction. The more the characters, the more I will have fun writing them... He he he... N-No! I-It's not like that I wanted them to die or anything. B-Baka. Also, it's obvious from the title, 'Hayate x Nagi fanfic'. 

Chapter 4

Death

Hayate's Point of View

"Ah, I know!" Hinagiku-san had an idea. She talked about it.

It's really good to have friends by your side...

"Why not your sister?" I asked.

"Ah. About that..." She looked depressed. Did I ask a question that wasn't supposed to be asked?

"She... might be drunk. Aha ha ha..." She laughed wryly.

"Ah, is that so... Aha ha ha..." I played along with her, but I'm sure she noticed that I'm just playing along.

It's really... awkward. None of us can even break the silence.

Well, perhaps I can break the silence...

But I can't think of anything...

"Hey, Hayate-kun..." Hinagiku-san was the one to break the silence.

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever experienced... that someone very close to you... die?" Another weird question... First from Maria-san, and Hinagiku-san now as well?

"Well, I didn't even experience that feeling... not even once. But I always wondered what does that feel..."

I waited for her response. It was so long. It felt like an hour.

"Well, you see, my older sister di-"

It was snowing very hard that day. But, I couldn't hear what Hinagiku-san said. After all, a noisy car was coming in our way. I was only focused on the car.

I was scared that the car will kill us... But.

The car stopped.

The car door opened.

When the person inside it goes outside, I spotted a familiar-looking face. The person inside it was Izumi and her friends.

I got up from the snow.

"Oh, looks like they're here... Hey, Hinagiku-san, I didn't hear it quite well, could you repeat what you said? What happened to your sister?" I asked and lent a hand to Hinagiku-san to get up.

She lifted her head up, for a second there, I thought she was crying...

"D-Did you cry, Hinagiku-san?"

"No, it was nothing." She smiled.

"Oh, okay."

"Hello! Hayata-kun!" They called out to us to go in the car.

"Geez, Hayata-kun, Hina-chan, don't stay on the snow for too long! You'll get a cold if you do that!" Izumi-san scolded us. It was pretty lively inside the car, even though it's just a small space.

"Ehehe, sorry..." I laughed jokingly.

To tell you the truth, I was relieved that we had a lively bunch to come help us. If they didn't agree to help us, I'll be caught eventually in an emotional situation even if 'that' (referring to the misunderstanding) situation is already enough.
