Here's the eleventh chapter. After having her training going well, Nakami met with Hinata for him to take her to her dorm. What happened after that? We'll see. Enjoy. ^-^

Ch. 11

The next day, an announcement was made to the school.

"After a few days of thinking it over, Kanade Tachibana decided to back down her role as the Student Body President from now on. In her place, Ayato Naoi will replace her position, making him the new Student Body President," the principal of the school announced.

"No way," Otonashi said.

"She didn't back down on her own. She was fired," Yuri said as she walked over to us.

"Fired? Why?"

"Because the results were finally taken into consideration. The teachers figured out that Angel's responses to the tests were to mock the teachers."

"So our mission was a success?" Ooyama said.

"Yes. Now we'll be able to see if that will affect Angel drastically. If she's not the student body president anymore, what will she do now?" Yuri said. "Serves her right."

"But don't the teachers know that she was framed?" Otonashi said.

"How will they know? It's just like in the real world, teachers wouldn't know that. They go with what they have right in front of them."

"They'll just think it was a single student acting rebellious," I said.

Otonashi hesitated.

Yuri patted my shoulder. "Hinata, I got something for you."

"Huh? What is it?" I said.

Yuri walked away and I followed. She lead me away from everyone else into a quiet corner.

"Okay, what is it?" I said.

"Hinata, we might have a problem," Yuri said.

"About?"

"Yui."

"What about her? You're being a little vague, Yurippe."

"She's joining us."

I nearly choked. "What?! Yui's joining us? How do you know?"

"Because she came up to me this morning wanting to join us. She was ready to fight on our side."

But that didn't make any sense. Yui said it herself that she wouldn't go against Angel. She had no reason to. Why join now?

"It doesn't make any sense," I said.

"It doesn't. Unless she has another plan of conquering you some way..." Yuri said.

"Yurippe, I told you already that Yui is not someone we need to worry about. Why would she still go after me?"

"How should I know? But I'm still a bit suspicious about her."

"Why? She's okay. She's an okay girl. Just give her a chance, Yurippe. Don't be so judgmental."

"I'm not being judgmental!"

"It sure seems like you are."

Yuri glared at me for a while before turning away. "Look, I'm just trying to look out for you, okay? Can't a leader be worried about her own team?"

I smiled gently. "I understand. But sometimes you seem to worry too much. That's not good for you."

"Worry? Who worries too much? Not me."

I chuckled and patted Yuri on the head. "Oh Yurippe. You're still the same as ever. It's nice to know you never changed."

Yuri looked to me with a hint of pink in her cheeks. "Hinata..."

"Aww. You're blushing."

"I'm not!" Then she slapped me across the face with such force that made me fall on my bottom. She huffed as I laughed.

"That was all I had to tell you. I just wanted to warn you," Yuri said as she began walking away.

"Yeah. Thanks," I said as I stood up and dusted myself.

"Oh and Hinata..."

"Yeah?"

"Be careful. Please."

"Sure, Yurippe. I promised you that I wouldn't leave you until I fulfilled what I had to do."

Yuri stopped walking. "You really are a moron." Then she walked away, leaving me behind with a smile. Oh Yurippe.

Right after the announcement, Yuri gathered up everyone for a meeting. Everyone was there even Yui who I doubted was joining us, but she was right here in flesh and blood.

"Okay. So with Angel out of the way, we have a new mission to do," Yuri began. "It will involve with the substitute student body president. We will see how he reacts when we misbehave."

"Wait. Does this mean that Angel is out of the question?" Fujimaki said.

"Of course not. Angel is still our first priority. We'll also be checking her status while we're checking on the substitute president."

"Sounds like a plan. What will we do, Yurippe?" Noda said.

"Well, I just want to see if the substitute president will do anything. I want you guys to do whatever you like during class. Remember, don't pay attention to the teacher. Just do whatever," Yuri said. "With that, will be enough. That's all I have for you right now. You're dismissed."

Everyone nodded and walked out of the room. I walked out while looking back at Yuri who gave me a look that said "Watch out". I smiled and walked out on my own. Otonashi stayed behind because Yuri called to him.

"Hinata-kun," Nakami walked up to me. "How about going to the same class together?"

I sweat dropped. "Yeah...uh..."

I don't know but ever since Nakami confessed that she said I was cute, she has been all over me. I mean, I have nothing against her, but it's a bit weird. She didn't even tried to seduce me.

Suddenly, I looked to the pink head who was walking next to me out of nowhere. "Hey Yui."

Yui smiled to me. "Hi Hina-kins!"

I leaned towards her and whispered. "What are you doing here? I thought you didn't agree with Battlefront's beliefs?"

"Well, I really don't but I thought it would be nice if I join you all and help everyone find peace."

"What? Are you crazy? That's going against Yurippe's orders!"

"I know but still. I want to help everyone out. Hinata, do you think you can help me out?"

I sighed. What should I say? I wanted to help Yui but then I would be harming Yuri at the same time. I hate being stuck in between.

"Well, I-"

"Hinata-kun," Nakami pulled on me, closer to her and away from Yui. "Have fun with me than with that death metal girl."

"Death metal? Who are you calling death metal, selfish pest!" Yui growled as she placed her face right in front of Nakami's.

"Selfish pest? That's not nice," Nakami said.

The two girls went into a staring contest of a while until I broke it off.

"Okay, you two. That's enough," I said.

"Hinata-kun, Death Metal Girl was bullying me," Nakami said as she hugged me. She actually hugged me and...she actually began to tremble. What was wrong with her? Was she faking it?

"Bullying? You're the one who started it!" Yui said.

"Look, why don't we-" I began to say.

"Hinata-kun. Here's a classroom. Let's go in," Nakami interrupted as she pulled me inside a classroom, leaving me only to get a glance at Yui before the door shut in front of me.

So here I was with Nakami and Otonashi who joined us later in a classroom chit chatting about anything in particular. To be honest, I was glad that Otonashi was here so that the tension between Nakami and I would be less severe.

"So is this what we're going to all day?" Otonashi said.

"I guess. What else is there to do?" I said.

"I wonder where everyone else is at."

"Probably doing the same things as we are."

"Yeah."

Nakami blinked. "This is boring."

"So Otonashi," I began another conversation before we would have to actually pay attention to the teacher. "I noticed Yurippe asked you to stay behind. What was that for?"

"Oh that? Well, it was nothing but to give me a walkie-talkie," Otonashi said.

"I see." From the corner of my eye, I noticed Nakami beginning to do something with a piece of paper.

"By the way, I couldn't help but notice that Yui decided to join us after a month or so."

"Yeah. I was a bit taken back too."

Nakami nodded. "The Death Metal Girl."

"Death Metal Girl?" Otonashi raised an eyebrow.

"Hinata-kun, Otonashi-kun, I advice you guys to not be friends with that bully."

"Bully?" I turned to Nakami.

"Mhmm. She's a bully and a bully is not someone you want to be friends with."

"But aren't you a bully too? You began calling her "Death Metal Girl". That's bullying."

Nakami hesitated. "Was I really...bullying?"

"Well, yeah. Pretty much."

Nakami averted her eyes. She seemed pretty sad now. She actually made a face. She stopped folding the piece of paper she had. "I-I didn't mean to. I'm sorry..."

Otonashi and I looked at each other for a while before turning back to Nakami.

"Nakami..." I whispered.

Suddenly, the door opened. We all turned around and saw the student body president, Naoi enter the room with some of the other members of the student council. He glared over to us.

"Okay guys. That's enough," he said.

"What do we do?" Otonashi said.

Nakami only stared at Naoi.

I sat still, looking to see what the president would do next.

Sensing we wouldn't move at all, Naoi moved towards us.

"Okay! Let's go!" I said as I opened a window and jumped out. Nakami and Otonashi followed my lead.

"We made it," Otonashi said.

"What would he had done if we didn't run?" Nakami said. "He didn't look like any threat."

"Who knows. Let's just go somewhere else," I said.

It was break time and everyone was out doing their own thing. Otonashi had gone somewhere while Nakami and I walked around.

Nakami walked close to my side. "Isn't this fun, Hinata-kun?"

I raised an eyebrow. "What's fun?"

"This small walk we're going on."

"Um...sure. I guess."

Nakami stopped, making me stop and looked at her. "Nakami?"

"Hinata-kun, do you like me?" she whispered.

I hesitated. "W-well, I, uh...yeah."

"That's nice. You would never bully me, would you?"

"No. Of course not. You're my friend, Nakami."

"Your friend?" Nakami looked at me. "Really?"

"Well, yeah. You are."

I had a feeling she didn't had much friends back in her past life and was probably bullied a lot. Maybe that's why she killed herself. I felt pretty bad for her.

Suddenly, the unexpected happened.

Nakami planted a kiss on my cheek.

I felt my cheeks get hot.

"Thank you, Hinata-kun," Nakami whispered.

"Ah...well...I ah..." I stuttered.

Just then, I saw Yui a few feet away from us. She was talking with Koyomi. They seemed to be having fun talking. And what's this? I felt a bit jealous. But why?

"That can't be him," Nakami said.

"Who?" I said.

"That boy with Death Metal- I mean, with Yui."

"Koyomi? You met him?"

Nakami seemed to go in a trance for a while before waking herself up. "Hinata-kun, let's go."

"Huh? Where?"

"Anywhere," Nakami grabbed onto me tightly and pulled me away. "If that's the way he's going to be, then two can play at that game."

I was so confused. All I could do was to look at Yui and Koyomi laughing up a storm. What was going on?

"Nakami, how do you know Koyomi?" I said.

Nakami shook her head. "He's not important."

"Is he human?"

"Yes."

He is? Then why hasn't Yurippe said anything about him? Did she not know he arrived?

"But then, if he's human, he should join us," I said.

"Don't even count on it. He's not someone who you want to interact with. He's a bad guy," Nakami said.

"What's wrong with him? He seems okay."

Nakami glared at me. She actually glared. "He's not! He's a traitor!"

Holy shit. And she even shouted.

"A traitor?" I said.

Suddenly, gun shots were heard nearby.

"There's a battle," I said. "We should go."

Nakami nodded, and we both ran towards the noise. At our arrival, we saw the most horrific scene I ever encountered. Blood was splattered everywhere, and the other Battlefront members were firing at some NPCs who were also firing right back at them. Some members were already taken down. This was all so impossible. We all vowed to never hurt NPCs.

Nakami quickly took out two hand blades and went into battle before I could tell her not to. I could only take out my gun and walk around aimlessly. Just then, I noticed a familiar magenta hair girl fighting off the Student Body President. But why?

"Yurippe!" I yelled and went to her aid.

She turned to me, blood running down her face. "Hinata! There you are! Give me a hand here!"

And so I did. I went right in and began to shoot at Naoi. "Yurippe, why are we attacking?"

Yuri moved out from the battle and took out a walkie talkie. She went to the farthest corner, trying not to be seen. She might be contacting other members. I remained battling the Naoi without knowing why.

"You imbeciles! You cannot beat me!" Naoi said as he kept firing me.

I growled. "Why are you attacking us? What's going on?"

Naoi smirked and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, a group of NPCs surrounded me, all pointing their guns at me. I immediately stopped attacking.

"What's going on?" I hissed.

As bloody as this battle was going, the sky turned into a darker hue that it seemed like it would rain. I looked around and noticed that only Fujimaki, Tk, Shiina, Yuri and Nakami were the only ones still alive. I didn't see Otonashi anywhere though.

"Hinata!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang through my ears. I turned around and saw Yui running up to me.

"Yui! Don't come any closer! Stay back!" I yelled.

Naoi must've seen her because he ordered the NPCs to aim at her and managed to shoot her right shoulder.

Anger built up inside of me. I wasn't sure what was going on, but to shoot down innocent people isn't right. I don't remember us doing anything wrong.

I growled and rushed over to Yui who was on the floor bleeding.

"Shoot him down!" Naoi said.

But I didn't care.

I ran and ran towards Yui while being shot with many bullets. It was painful, but I couldn't stop. I had to reach Yui.

A few feet away from her did I stumbled and fell. My legs couldn't keep on going with all the shots I received. But I didn't quit. I crawled towards Yui and managed to put myself over her in order to cover her from the bullets.

"Yui, are you okay?" I said, barely able to speak.

Yui looked up to me with those same puppy eyes. "N-no because I'm worried about you..."

I smirked. "You silly girl..."

"You all are useless, you know that?" Just then, Naoi walked over to us and kicked me down away from Yui. We were both wide open for attacks now, but I didn't care about me.

I managed to keep on eye open and glared at Naoi towering over me. "What do you want?"

Naoi smirked. "All I want is to bring you peace."

"Peace?"

"Yes." Naoi pointed a gun to me. "Now I will bring you peace."

Fuck. Is this how it will end? But I can't die. So then, why was I so worried? Oh that's right. I now know. I couldn't leave Yui on her own, defenseless. I had to protect her. I promised.

Just then, before Naoi can shoot me, another gun shot was fired which made Naoi's gun fall from his hand. I noticed he turned around to look at someone, but by that time, I was losing strength to see who it was.

I heard mumbled words which only meant I was losing conscious. Come on, Hinata. Keep yourself steady. You can't leave yet.

"Hinata!"

That voice I could hear clearly. It was Yui. She sat by me and looked at me with such sad eyes. I could only smile.

"It's going to be okay, Yui. Believe me," I whispered.

"Hinata..." Yui said with her voice hoarse.

"Hinata!"

Just then, I was also able to hear another voice. Otonashi's.

I was able to see him a few moments later, also having the same sad look as Yui.

I smiled. "Look at you, running to me first. Are you gay?"

"This is not time to be joking around!" Otonashi said.

I smiled. Otonashi stood up and looked towards someone.

"How did you get out of the prison? I order you to get back," I heard Naoi said.

"I broke it down," I heard another voice, not too recognizable.

"I see. Do you know how long I worked on that?"

"Hand Sonic."

No way. Was...was Angel here? Why?

"You dare to defy me? I'm God," Naoi said.

What? Is he crazy? Why would he say something crazy like that?

"No. You cannot," I then heard Nakami say.

I managed to turn my head to see Nakami with her two blades standing right in front of Angel with her blade. Dear God no.

"Nakami, don't fight Angel," I said.

"Hinata, don't force yourself," Yui said.

"I have to. It's my order," Nakami said.

"I'll give you a new order. Don't fight Angel. Fight the enemy before Angel. Fight Naoi," I said.

I saw Nakami turn to me. She stared for a while before nodding and turning towards Naoi.

I smiled and rested my head on the ground. I saw Yui looking down to me, saying something I couldn't understand anymore. I was shutting down.

"Nakami, also protect everyone," I whispered before closing my eyes.

Le gasp! First, it was announced that Angel was removed from her position as president. Then Yui decided to join Battlefront but not help them as in getting revenge but to help them find peace. Then Nakami and Yui had an argument. Uh-oh. There's going to be tension between these two girls.

Nakami and Hinata go on a walk and they see both Yui and Koyomi talking with each other. Hinata gets a bit jealous, he admits and Nakami seems to hate Koyomi. I wonder why.

But what's this? More drama? Naoi begins to shoot down NPCs and Battlefront. Nakami and Hinata quickly go to help but they were too late. Almost everyone was brought down even Hinata himself after having bullets shooting him all over his body just for what?

To protect Yui.

Cute!

So, it ends with Hinata fainting, hoping Nakami would protect everyone. I hope she does.

Tune in for more and please review. Thank you. ^-^
