Hello ! I wanted to make a really big chapter but the problem is my free time being consumed by all my passions and my laziness haha. So I decided to split up the big chapters in multiple part to keep my story up and not looking like I disappeared suddenly !

Hikigaya opened the door of his house and entered the place which was dark, he came home earlier since he was free from any duty after the school day. He had a whole thirty minutes before his sister would come home and what's better than to lay down on the couch in a track suit while playing Vita-chan. While playing a variant of guitar hero on his PlayStation, Hachiman heard the front door being opened, his sister was finally home. Surprised to see her brother being home so early she made some grimace.

"Onii-chan... What are you doing here ? You really are skipping the club aren't you ?"

"Well I quit the club for good."

"YOU WHAT ?! What about Yui-chan ?!"

"Why would I care about her ? She tried to get me back to the club and refused to see that Yukinoshita manipulated me. I told her the truth of the situation, she got mad and slapped me."

"Idiot Onii-chan..."

"You'd prefer that I swallowed my pride and damaged my mental health even more by staying in this place ? I'm not a masochist Komachi. I'm willing to go to some extent but not this."

"Aaaaah... Is there anything else I should be aware of since it seems that you started your own revolution."

"Ah well. I'll try to be a candidate for the student council president role."

Silence fell over the room, Komachi had a deadpan look on her face. They both stared at each other for a long minute.

"What ? Is this some kind of a joke ?"

"I'm serious about that, it's not a joke, I'll run for presidency. That's low in Komachi point to doubt your brother like that..."

"Why ? No. How would you even collect the signatures to be accepted as a member ?"

"Komachi Komachi, don't you dare insult me when it comes to resources. Shiromeguri-senpai will give me all of her support and that means that I'll surely have a lot of signatures from the current council and the people involved in the cultural festival."

"That won't be enough though."

"I will also ask help from the people I know and who owe me I guess."

"Are you really Hachiman ? For a second I thought I heard you say that you will ask for help to try to earn a status that will give you a lot of work to do."

"Is that so strange ?"

"Well that's a big step forward for you Onii-chan, it's so sudden it's kinda scary. And what's with that small smile you're harboring ? I've rarely see you smile like that. It's not much but you look happier."

"Ah well some things happened today and it seems that I made the right decision. I've learned things from some people that I thought were bland and not interesting."

"Hmm... Fishy. Anyway what is your motive ? You always say 'To work is to lose' yet you want to work now. What do you want to achieve with that ?"

"… I want to prove to Yukinoshita that I am better than her and that I don't need her of the club to be able to solve people's problem. I want her to learn her place. Also... I kinda want to show that I'm capable and that I can change things. I guess ? I don't know, I'm just feeling that I should do it. I have no purpose anymore and I don't want to fall back to my old ways where I didn't do anything every single days."

"I can't support you in your little revenge Onii-chan but... You've changed you know ? Never have I thought that you would say such things one day. I don't know if you made the right choice leaving Yui-chan and Yukino-chan to themselves, but if you keep moving forward like this on your own while relying on others like what you're doing right now then you have all my support as well."

"Thanks Komachi."

After this little discussion, both of them decided to prepare the dinner together much to the surprise of Hachiman's sister about his willingness to do something. It reminded her of the old time when she was in elementary school and it was him who did the chores. Both of them were having fun in this new mechanic in their life that was beginning. They got closer thanks to all those hardships.

Finishing their dinner they also did the dishes together and because of that they had a lot more time to do what they likes to do with their free time so they decided to watch some of the new anime that came out this year. The one was called 'Classroom of the elite'. They watched three episodes together getting carried away and did not look at the clock. It was getting late.

"Well time to go to bed I guess... Too bad, this series is good."

"Yeah It's decent I guess" Said Hachiman.

"Say Onii-chan, there's one last thing I want to know. Who are you gonna ask help to ? You won't ask Yui-chan nor Yukino-chan that's for sure. So who may help you ? Hiratsuka-san can't interfere with the election. So who ?"

"I haven't put that much thought into it in fact. There are three people that come to my mind. Totsuka, Zaimokuza and Kawasaki."

"So you know Taishi's sister's name after all ? He always tells me how you always make her mad by forgetting her name at school."

"Of course I know her name, I'm not that stupid, I just like to tease her with that, I don't know why, it's natural for me. My name's is way harder to pronounce than hers."

"Getting really comfy with her huh ? Maybe soon enough I'll be able to call her Onee-chan !"

"I don't think so, why would she be interested in me anyway ? She's only acknowledging my existence because we are both loners and I helped her. Nothing more than normal courtesy."

"Hopeless Onii-chan... Then that's only three, who are you gonna ask too ?

"Hmm... Ebina Hina."

"The glasses girl from the summer camp ? Not a bad idea, she seems to be quite the clever one."

"And... erh... Miura Yumiko."

"HEH ?! Are you talking about the blonde bimbo always roaming around Hayama Hayato ? Are you getting mad ? There's no way she'd help you !"

"You shouldn't judge people based on your first impression Komachi, I made this mistake way too many times. She's not as shallow as you think she is. She's not dumb, she's in fact, quite perceptive."

"Huh okay I'll believe you on that but seriously, this is strange coming from you. You've never defended someone when I gave my opinion of them before. Why her though ? I understand the four first but how is she gonna help you ? And why would she ?"

"Well she said that she was waiting for me to find my new purpose and that she would help me then. I can't refuse such a honest offer. There was no pity and no ulterior motive in her words."

"I see, she looks like a kind person when you learn to know her."

"Yes, she's wearing the popular girl facade but once she's out of sight from the people, she's really a nice person who cares about her friends. She's still harsh, holier than thou and bitchy but I guess I don't dislike her as much as when I first met her. And to answer you on how she may help me, think about it Komachi, she IS popular and I am NOT popular, with her help I can improve my image. If I have the support from the Queen Been of Sobu then a lot of person will vote for me. As simple as that."

"That's pretty clever, you even take your reputation into account in your move huh ? You'll make a great president if you win. A twisted, merciless one but a good one."

"And I'll need you too Komachi since you're a member of the student council in your school. Your advice would be precious on how to get things to work if I beat Yukinoshita."

"I thought you would never ask Onii-chan ! Of course this Komachi will help her useless Gomi-chan !"

"That was so low in Komachi points but thank you for your help. Well let's go to bed. Things will get hard for me soon enough. I have a lot of things to do heh..."

"Good night and good luck Onii-chan !"

Hachiman was thinking, head resting on his desk, he was creating his whole plan inside the twisted mind of his. He was spacing out so much because of this that he did not catch Totsuka trying to greet him for a good two minutes. The latter was worried and was waving his hands in front of Hikigaya to bring him back to earth but to no avail.

"Ha... Hach... HACHIMAN !"

"Heh ?! Oh ! It's you Saika. Sorry I was thinking about things."

"Come on seriously Hachiman it wasn't your usual space out moment, you were really gone this time, almost like your soul wasn't in your corpse anymore !" Said Totsuka pouting.

So cute... If you were a girl I'd be your white knight anytime.

"Well I really do have a lot on my mind lately."

"I see. If you need any help I'll be glad to help you Hachiman !" He said launching the special Totsuka smile that could melt the heart of the most heartless guy in this school.

"Actually I'll need your help, can you wait for me in the hall after school ? I'll explain to you what I need help for."

"Oh ! Of course ! I'll be there don't worry ! I'm so glad you're asking me for help ! Have a good day Hachiman !" Finished Saika returning to his seat happier than before.

I got Saika's help, now I need Zaimokuza, Saki, Ebina and Miura.

"I could go to her and ask her directly right now but it would be too weird since we're both loners. It would attract too much unwanted attention and rumors would spread like wildfire. I'll wait for lunch time. I know where to find her anyway. Zaimokuza... I have an idea as to where he could hide himself. Ebina and Miura on the other hand won't be easy to catch, there's Yuigahama who will be shocked and suspicious if I do talk to them. Ah... What a drag.» Muttered Hachiman to himself.

Scratching his head, he decided to take a glance at his surroundings. He first looked at Saki who felt his stare and looked back at him only to avert her eyes quickly after with a tinge of pink on her cheeks. Hachiman then turned his head toward the clique. They were as noisy as usual except for Miura not talking that much when it was hayama who was talking but the others adapted themselves to it rather quickly, not paying attention to it. A little bit of air escaped the nose of Hachiman at this sight. She was the only one acting rather truthfully in this group full of fake people but what was strange is that she wanted to keep the relationships she had despite this very fact. He glanced at them a bit too much and Ebina caught him looking at them, she smiled at him and waved. Hikigaya waved back not really understanding what the Fujoshi was doing until she formed a hole with her thumb and index finger from her left hand and had demonstrated a simulation of a sexual act with her right hand once with a little of blood coming out of her nose and smiling like crazy. Getting annoyed, Hachiman stopped looking at them and decided to focus on his plan.

The loner packed his bag and went out of the room in his natural slow pace. His destination ? The rooftop. Of course, he didn't want to go there because his spot was unusable but because he knew that the person he was seeking was there. It was her territory and it was rare of him to go there. Sure sometimes he did go there to have peace when there were people around his secret hideout and he had a wonderful silent moment shared with Kawasaki Saki. Both didn't speak in those rare moments. They did not need to after all, the even more rare times where they talked was related to their study nothing more and he liked that. After some minutes of walking he finally reached the place and searched around in the area. It looked like she wasn't there cause he couldn't catch any blueish silver hair ponytail.

"Too bad. Guess she's not h-"

"Ya searchin' something ?"

"Ah Kawasaki !" Said Hachiman looking behind him in the direction of the water tank.

She climbed down the ladder to reach the floor and be at Hikigaya's level. She went close to him and greeted him properly before proposing to him to eat their lunch together since he was here. She was eating a bento box she probably made herself since she was the one taking care of her siblings while Hachiman was eating his bland bread and drinking his Max Coffee.

"Someday you'll collapse of the floor eating only that while drinking something so full of sugar. I'm amazed you don't have diabete yet."

"I'm always saving my energy, I can't run out of it like that you know. If I do nothing how can that happen ?"

"You're really one lazy bum you know that ?"

"But still a good future house husband."

Saki choked on her food and had to drink from her water bottle to be able to breath again, she was beet red and snapped at Hachiman.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT, YA WANT TO KILL ME AREN'T YA ?"

"What ? I just said that I'm good at keeping a house and do the chores despite being lazy... What are you getting so worked up for ?" Said the oblivious man.

"I-... Forget it." She said averting her eyes and sighing in a dejected manner.

"Anyway, what are you doing here ? It looked like you were searching for something by going up here."

"I was searching for you."

This answer got the better of the cool Saki once again. It was too much for her heart. She was red like a tomato.

"S-s-s-searching f-for m-me ?"

"Yes of course, I need you after all."

"N-n-need me ?" She said feeling dizzy.

"Yes I need your help for something important, I already got Totsuka's support for it. If you could come to the hall after school it would really help me and I'll be really grateful to you. I'll repay you you can count on it."

"Ah..."

"I won't force you if you don't want to."

"..."

"Well I get it."

Hachiman got up and was gonna climb down the staircases when he got interrupted.

"Fine I'll help you..."

"Really ! Thank you ! Lova ya Kawasaki !" Said Hachiman climbing down the stairs rather quickly not aware of what he said like that one time when she helped him finding Sagami at the Cultural Festival. A loud gasp was heard in her direction. Saki had a hard time to regain her composure, her heart really took a lot today.

"Seriously, how dense can you be Hikigaya... It's the second time you say it... Are you stupid or something ? How am I supposed to ignore you if you keep being like that idiot..." She said having a hurt look in her eyes."

TheReaper999: I just used the dialogues word for word from the eng sub that I watched of oregairu season 2. If someone's to blame about this it's not me. I hadn't got the time to read all the light novels too.
