Disclaimer= Hayate the Combat Butler 'tis not mine.

A/N= This fic will have some Bleach references. Also, some parts might skip around a bit. I'm going to write about what's been happening in the manga recently and tell a different story. HayatexAthena is the main pairing, along with some others Hayate will be paired up with from Hayate FC TBA. Uh, tanoshimu?


It was a tough decision for Hayate because he risked being tarred and feathered by his Milady and Maria, and Klaus AND Tama AND Shiranui and for good measure, the SP. With his mission complete, Hayate felt on top of the world.

"Milady - -"

"Why do you have your bags packed Hayate?"

"Please allow me to speak Milady. I would like to say first that I appreciate you taking me in when I was damn near homeless. You took care of me and I protected you - -"

"Right. I seem to recall that you said that you would protect me no matter what happened."

"As you know, things change and people change." Nagi remembers what Hayate told her when the group vacationed in Mykonos.

"Was that mission you went on to save this person who means a lot to you your former girlfriend, Athena Tennos?"

"Yes." Hayate spoke plainly because he figured that Nagi and company knew it all. The lights in the mansion went out, with only a dim light shining on Hayate.

"Hayate, I would like for you to tell the court why you are doing this..."

*I hate this game!

"I plead the 5**."

"Please answer this next question for the court: was Athena Tennos your former lover?"

"Can you be specific?"

"Do you love her?"

*Chikusho!

Hayate and Athena walked through a flower garden, holding hands and whatnot. He saw a rose and picked it for his A-tan, which made her blush. They found a spot under a tree to sit down and to simply just converse and enjoy each other's company.

"So you are still going to work for Nagi-san?"

"Yes. Milady will now require me to wear an ankle bracelet whenever I work over there; although I'm not sure why."

*What an oppressive establishment

"Did she ask you anything else during interrogation?"

"Yes, she asked if I still loved you."

"Oh, and what did you tell her?"

"I told her the truth..."

"What did you say specifically?"

"I told her that I still loved you. I told her that I should not have left your side 10 years ago because that was the biggest mistake I ever made. I love you A-tan. Ever since the first time I laid eyes on you when I was a young buck, I knew you were the one for me; you are the only one for me." Athena could take it no longer.

"You must take pleasure in making me cry - -"

"You are correct A-tan because I know the tears you cry are tears of love. With tears of love come... a wipey."

"Eh, a wipey?"

[ Way to kill the mood Hayate.]

"I made sure that I had a wipey so that I could wipe A-tan's tears away."

"Haha, thats really thoughtful of you Hayate."

"Anything for my A-tan..."

"... because I love you."

"I love you too." They touched and caressed each other's faces with their lips. Athena fell asleep in Hayate's arms as he was stroking her hair. He eventually fell asleep also.


Hayate was in a middle of a dream when it happened. He was walking around downtown when everything started changing. Now Hayate was on a rocky ground staring at a cliff. Then the weird voice spoke from the cliff.

"What the hell do you want master?"

"I'm not your master; I don't even know who you are."

"Oh my apologies master, my name is - -"

"Save it, I need you to answer some things for me. Why do I always come over here? Why do I always see you?"

"I'm not thrilled either master." Hayate was bulging veins.

"While we do look alike I must reemphasize something... I am NOT your master."

"What?! The mysterious figure stepped in front of Hayate with a sword and was making the down strike when the lights were turned on.

"Hayate darling, are you alright? You are sweating profusely."

"I'm okay A-tan, just a bad dream thats all."

"Why were your eyes black?"

"Were they really?" Athena, sleeping next to Hayate with her blue nightgown on, looked very worried.

"I think I might be sick A-tan. I need to see a doctor as soon as possible."

"Yawn... yeah we'll call my personal doctor in the morning."

"Thats why you are my A-tan."

---

The next morning comes around and Athena makes that call to her doctor. About an hour later, the good doctor arrives and performs the checkup.

"Ayasaki-san, you have a clean bill of health."

"Are you sure doctor - -"

"Trust me, you are the healthiest patient I have; even healthier than Ms. Tennos. You should try sleeping a few more hours, but that does not seem to affect your way of life in the slightest."

"Thank you very much doctor."

"Hayate, I need to speak to the good doctor about his payment."

"Sure thing, I'll make you some tea." Hayate closed the door and Athena's doctor immediately began to sweat.

"Something is terribly wrong with that boy."

"What do you mean doctor?"

"I did not tell him this to his face... Ms. Tennos, Ayasaki-san is possessed." Athena did not looked shocked, just confused.

"How can that be doctor? Hayate's recent behavior has not made me question his state of mind - -"

"Forgive me for interrupting you Ms. Tennos, but did anything happen to Ayasaki-san recently that may have affected him internally?" Athena remembers when Hayate saved from King Midas's grasp.

"There was one thing that happened..." She explained to the doctor what went down during that fateful day. After the telling, the good doctor told Athena about what warning signs to look out for et al.


Hayate was heading to class when it happened.

"Good morning, Hinagiku-san."

"Good morning, Hayate-kun." Hayate walked past Hinagiku without anything happening. Then he felt a sudden irregular heart thumping that made him clutch his chest. Hayate got down on fours and felt his eyes dilate wildly.

Who was that master?

"What are you doing inside of me?! I want nothing more to do with you!"

You are stuck with me master and you have no choice about that. Are you going to ask Pinky out or not?

"First of all, her name is not Pinky, its Hinagiku-san. And NO, I don't want to ask her out because A-tan already has my heart."

How cute, my master has a lover.

"I'm done talking with you." Hayate pulled off his mask after a brief struggle. There was a throng of students with peculiar looks on their faces.

"Hahaha, uh how is everyone doing?" Before anyone had time to respond, Hayate pretended to faint so they could take him to the nurse's office, which is exactly what happened. The crowd followed Hayate, but one girl stayed behind sitting under a tree, away from everyone, with tears streaming down her face. Trembling, she got out her phone to call her doctor.
