Chapter 10: New Friends New Enemies and New Headaches

I don't own Hundred. It belongs to its fabulous creator and I simply have the pleasure of using them for this fanfic.

Welcome to Chapter 10 everybody. Last time Hayato had a very long and productive day. An early morning threesome with Claire and Erica was only the beginning. His date with Emilia was interrupted by Fritz and Retia joining in on the party. Of course Sakura sneaking away didn't help matters. On their way back from the special spot Sakura took him to, Hayato had to deal with a savage attack. With Sakura and civilians nearby what will he do now?

Somehow everyone was fine despite the savage attack. Noticing a quick clearing Hayato quickly flashed his slayers badge and told everyone to retreat including an angry Sakura

"Seems like Claire was right to be worried after all." Hayato muttered as he dodged the savage's attacks. Luckily for Hayato his training as a kid allowed him to fight without his suit so he could go all out. Dodging an attack he quickly charged at the savage hoping to land a killer blow.

(Observation Room)

Claire, Liddy, and Erica walked into the observation room having received the report from the attack. Claire and Erica were still a bit worn out, but once they heard from Liddy about the attack and Hayato's connection, they shot up. "So how is Hayato?" Claire wondered as she arrived.

"He's doing fine. He's alone now, but he's too far away to send backup." Chris said giving the report to a nervous Claire.

"Don't worry, Claire-sama, I'm sure he'll be fine." Erica said calmly trying to make sure her leader didn't start to panic.

"I hope so." Claire muttered nervously. She knew Hayato was strong but this could get dicey.

(Clearing)

Hayato was doing just fine and the fact that Sakura was out of the way made it easier for him to fight. After all, revealing his connection to Sakura wasn't something he wanted to do. Grabbing his blade, Flying Swallow, Hayato quickly charged up his energy and slammed the Savage's core winning the battle instantly.

With the battle seemingly over everybody came back towards Hayato including a happy Sakura. "That was amazing, Hayato!" Sakura cheered running up towards him and hugging him.

"Thanks Sakura, but stay back. I think there's another one." Hayato said as he stayed tense for a bit. Unfortunately for Hayato he was right as a second savage appeared next to him.

"What do I do, Hayato?" Sakura said nervously. She could tell the young man was worn out and

"You hide with the others. If I focus I can beat this thing." Hayato directed.

"Okay….be careful." Sakura said before kissing him on the lips. Luckily for him her disguise was still on so he didn't cause a scandal. Turning back towards the savage, Hayato was determined to win. As the savage charged again Hayato was surprised when one of its arms was slashed away.

"Hayato! Are you okay?" Emilia said appearing in her hundred.

"Yeah dude! Everything going well?" Fritz said smiling.

"I'm fine. So what are you guys doing here?" Hayato questioned. Sure he could beat it at full strength but the fact that the three found him was a surprise.

"We saw the explosion and came as quickly as we could. You can thank us later." Retia said determined to fight. Hayato took a quick glance and found out that Sakura and the rest of the crowd had escaped.

"Alrighty then, let's finish this!" Hayato said as he prepared to fight the monster. Unfortunately something caused him to pause. "It seems as though we have company." Hayato said turning towards the side. Apparently another group of people were after the savages, and these guys weren't too happy. The first person was a young man with spiky black hair. He carried a saw-like sword.

"Who are these guys?" Retia asked nervously.

"Well if you must know, we want the savage for our master, Vitaly." The young man said nervously.

"Hmph, if you want the savage, take it." Hayato said irritably.

"Hmm? You're not going to fight us?" The young man responded with a surprise.

"No. If you believe you can take the savage, then go ahead. If you're wrong, we'll act accordingly." Hayato said coldly. 'This kid is as powerful as me. This should be good.' Hayato thought to himself.

"Wait Hayato, what about everybody else?" Emilia wondered.

"Everyone else is gone. If this kid wants the savage, it's all up to him." Hayato said calmly.

"Works for me." The young man said with a grin. Hayato and gang watched as the young man easily defeated the savage. Hayato was impressed that his first instinct was right. The kid was every bit as strong as he was, so he made sure to pay attention. The second girl apparently could trace weapons so he knew he had made the right choice. He also noticed they were variants, which would've meant disaster. Once they defeated the savage they stole the core.

"Hmph, I'll see you again sometime." The young man said as he left with his prize. Although the group was safe, Hayato certainly knew that he made the right decision.

"Let's go home. I get the feeling the president won't be happy with what we have to say." Hayato said with a groan. He knew he was in for the lecture of the lifetime from both her and his worried sister. The fact he had to tell Noa and Xuemei about Emilia meant he had a long day ahead of him.

Once he got back, Hayato was right that he was in for a headache. Claire quickly came up to him and embraced him in a worried hug which stopped when she remembered where she was. Noa and Xuemei were also there along with a disguised Emilia. "Yeah, Claire, I'm fine but we have business to talk about." Hayato said sternly.

"Okay then Hayato" Claire replied motioning towards her office and everybody else joined them.

Once they were in the office, Hayato explained what happened with a few omissions. He hid the fact he was with Sakura, but explained the new group and the mysterious leader Vitaly.

"Thank you for that information. As thanks for your assistance, Fritz and Retia will be added to the Slayers group." Claire said calmly. Inside though she was thrilled that Hayato was alright and that everything had worked itself out.

"Thank you prez!" Fritz said happily as he hugged Retia.

"Xuemei and Noa, I understand you girls wanted to ask me something." Claire said calmly since she was going to meet with them beforehand.

"That's right, president. We want to join the slayers also. Hayato is our friend along with Emile. We want to help them like they helped us." Noa admitted.

Claire snuck a look at Hayato because they mentioned Emilia's fake name. Hayato nodded his approval while mouthing that he would tell them the truth later. "Very well. You all are dismissed but I need to talk to Hayato….alone." Claire said calmly.

"Hey! Wait a minute." Emilia started to complain but Fritz stopped her before turning to the group. Emilia understood because it was time to reveal the truth to his friends. Erica and Liddy also left, though Liddy was reluctant to. Once they were finally alone Claire was blushing heavily.

"So, what's up president? What did you want to talk about?" Hayato said nervously.

"Who were you with?" Claire accused angrily.

"You figured that out pretty quickly." Hayato said with a chuckle.

"Out with it Hayato" Claire said angrily"

"I was there with Sakura, but nobody else noticed it was her. In addition we evacuated everyone else before things got fun." Hayato said calmly.

"That's good. Be careful, Hayato." Claire said before leaving her desk to kiss the young man. She wanted to do more but Hayato stopped her before things got too heated.

"Claire, believe me, I'd love to take you right now but I have something I need to do." Hayato said calmly. He left knowing that his night was far from over. Explaining the truth to Noa and Liu was important. On his way back he made sure to call Sakura to make sure she got home safely.

(Hayato's Room)

"WHATTT!" Noa and Xuemei shouted in shock. Hayato just finished revealing the truth about Emilia.

"Yeah guys, sorry for lying to you. It was a weird situation and Fritz and Retia just found out." Hayato said nervously.

"It's okay. We forgive you." The two girls said calmly. They were a bit upset but it seemed as though things worked themselves out. "If you want us to forgive you, get us tickets to Sakura's concert." Noa said happily. Hayato easily agreed to that and things seemed to work themselves out.

"Damn Hayato, and here I thought they'd want to have sex with you like Emilia." Fritz revealed to Hayato's annoyance and Emilia's embarrassment. Retia quickly elbowed him in the stomach for the Freudian slip.

"HUHHHH!" The two girls said in shock at the news. Unfortunately, now the girls wanted the same treatment so he left with Noa and Xuemei for a night together; naturally Emilia was furious at Fritz but Retia promised she'd deal with him.

(A few days later)

The concert arrived and Hayato was absolutely drained. Thanks to Fritz's slip up, Hayato was forced to admit his promiscuous lifestyle. He managed to keep Claire out of it for now, but he did reveal that he was sleeping with Emilia and Sakura, the latter revelation shocking the girls further. He managed to deal with the problem by adding the girls to his cycle of fun. Needless to say he was tired beyond belief. Luckily for him the concert went well and Hayato was able to get through the long days.

"So Hayato, are you ready?" Sakura said happily. The two were currently on the way to the busy concert.

"Ready for what? You're the star tonight. I just need to relax from a stressful few days. Not that you helped." Hayato groaned. As it stood he was already popular but after what happened the other day he was a huge celebrity. The fact Xuemei and Noa were both now part of his harem made it more difficult for him. Between his time with Claire and Emilia, the two additional girls tired him out.

"So are those two gonna be there tonight? Your two new haremettes." Sakura teased.

"Don't remind me…." Hayato groaned. As the two made their way to the concert Hayato was certainly unhappy. Luckily for him the concert seemed to go well and everybody enjoyed it.

Once it was over Hayato went with Sakura and her manager to the airport. They were joined by the rest of the slayers and Hayato's little sister. "It was great to see you again, Karen." Sakura said happily.

"I agree. Your singing has become incredible. I guess my brother was good for something after all." An indignant yell from Hayato caused everybody to laugh. Turning towards the young man Sakura smiled.

"Hayato, I hope we get to hang out again soon." Sakura said with a big smile.

"Yeah, next time we hang out, no monsters. I have enough headaches in my life." Hayato said sarcastically.

"Sounds good." Sakura said. Just before she was about to leave she turned around and quickly kissed him on the lips one more time as Claire and Emilia stood there stunned.

"Good grief." Hayato groaned as he saw the two angry girls. The ride back to the hotel was awkward even though Hayato just wanted to relax. Luckily for him he was able to spend the night alone since Emilia wanted to spend time with Xuemei and Noa. Claire had to give the report to the higher ups so he had a rare moment of peace.

(Next morning)

"Wake up Hayato~." A voice sang into his ear.

"I'll be up in a minute, Emilia." Hayato groaned as he opened his eyes. To his surprise instead of Emilia the person in front of him was Sakura. "What the hell are you doing here?" Hayato said in annoyance. It was still his hotel so he was trying to relax.

"I came to visit you. I wanted to move to Little Garden to spend more time with you." Sakura said happily.

"Good grief, you troublesome idol." Hayato said annoyed.

"MORNING HAYATO!" Emilia said happily barging into the room.

"Hello Hayato." Claire said modestly.

The three girls all noticed each other and needless to say none of them were happy.

"What are you doing here?"

"Yeah, you were supposed to be going home". Claire and Emilia said respectively. Both girls were not happy to see the idol.

"That's easy. I'm moving to Little Garden and I wanted to tell Hayato personally." Sakura said with a smile.

'What a drag.' Hayato thought in annoyance. "Listen, Sakura, Emilia, Claire, I'll see you all on the ship, but we need to calm down. I don't think it'll be good for anybody if somebody walks in on the president of Little Garden and a famous idol in a young man's room."

Claire realized that Hayato didn't have any of his silencers. "Very well, I'll take my leave. I just wanted to tell you that the slayers are going to a private beach to relax in a few days. I wanted to tell you now before I forgot." Claire said blushingly slightly.

Hayato knew Claire was lying and that she didn't need to come out here to do it. However he decided to ignore that reality and find out something. "Thank you Claire. Do you mind if I bring my little sister along? That will be good for her."

"That's a great idea! Karen never gets out. She'll love the beach!" Sakura said happily.

Claire smiled at Hayato's devotion to his sister. "That's fine."

"Great, I'll tell her later, but can you guys please let me get packed?" Hayato groaned. The three girls left giving Hayato time to relax. He'd only been at the school for a little time but things were getting fun. Before he left he made sure to call Charlotte. The whole savage incident meant he didn't have time to talk to her about the silencers. Plus he called Skye to find out about that woman Vitaly, who was behind the group that attacked him. He said he would send him more info later, so Hayato took the time to relax. Well things were just getting interesting and Hayato knew it.

(The next day)

Claire gathered everybody who dealt with the incident. In the student council office Hayato Emilia Fritz and Retia all stood waiting for Claire and the student council's report; Charlotte was also there. "So here's what we were able to gather. Those savages you attacked were remnants from the ones before. However, something about this bothers me."

"If you mean the three who attacked us and why I let them go, it's simple. They're an unknown enemy and their goal was to defeat the savages. Plus I could tell they were variants. Facing them and the savages at the same time seemed like a bad idea. That's why I had everyone step back." Hayato explained.

"They mentioned their leader was Vitaly. Do you know who that might be, Claire?" Emilia added in.

"Yes I do and if she's involved, that's a problem." Claire said her expression getting more worried.

"Who's this woman? I have a friend doing his own research, but I want to see what else I can find out." Hayato asked curiously.

"Vitaly Tynyanov is a former scientist for Warslan. She's a genius and somebody not to be messed with." Charlotte said curiously.

"So tell me; why would she be after Savage cores?" Hayato asked.

"Because the cores can be used to make hundreds. Those cores are very powerful and very dangerous. She could do anything with them." Charlotte admitted causing the girls to gasp. Hayato was much calmer.

"Hmm? Is something wrong, Hayato?" Claire asked.

"No, but she's after something special. I get the feeling things are just getting started." Hayato said nervously.

"Very well. Everyone dismissed. I'll see you all at the beach in a few days" Claire said calmly. As everyone left the knowledge that what happened was only the beginning made the beach trip far harder to enjoy.

That's it for Chapter 10. Well yeah, I didn't give you the big showdown but my reasons were my own. There's plenty more with the siblings and the next arc is just getting started. Next chapter what starts out as a comforting beach trip leads to the darker side of Little Garden and a dangerous secret is about to get out.
