1Last time, Hayate found out through use of his character profile in volume one (in stores now! Buy the manga today!) That he had an older brother. Well, his parents made small mention of him when Hayate was young, so it's more like he remembered he had an older brother. Now that he figured out that darkness killed his brother when he ran away, he is determined to defeat the mysterious Organization, which he believes is one of the sources of this darkness, due to a near-death experience (where his own darkness, unknown to him had shown up) telling him about the darkness as soon as he was to be killed by an organization member. He doesn't know about it YET, but he knows that if more than one person is involved in assassination, there are probably more people behind it (from his own life experience). He won't stop till they're all down (In prison, dead, whichever one comes first.) Sorry I took so long, I just need to explain Hayate's thoughts now so there won't be any confusion later.
"I just love hearing you speak..."
You do? Personally, I think I'm annoying. The only reason I continue to speak like this is because I know It annoys other people! : )
"Really? I don't think so!"
Thank you Nadja. I'm glad ONE person enjoys my narratives. Hayate doesn't seem to enjoy them at all!
Hayate: Yeah, I don't. Only because you insult me every time the situation isn't serious!
Don't worry. I'll turn your ears off to me occasionally and speak to others! I'll try this out sometime this chapter. 'Till then... Idunno!

Chapter eleven: Woo-hoo! I fit the meaning of last chapter's title into the story of the last chapter itself! But I weep for now, because this title is too long to fit in the little box where you can select the chapter now, and noone can see my extremely long title for this chapter which grows gradually longer with each letter I type! I'd better stop now. Aw!
"Thank you again for taking us in for a while Sakuya-san." Said Isumi.
Remember how Sakuya told Isumi last chapter to call her goddess? Well, Sakuya told her to stop after about an hour long helicopter ride over to her mansion, 'cause it was getting annoying after an hour.
Sakuya glanced at the ceiling. "Who's speakin'?"
Oh, I'm sorry, We haven't been properly introduced. I'm Shuji Nonohana, the author and narrator of Wasuremasu Hayate Forgotten.
"Mushi mushi, I'm Sakuya Aizawa. Ya know you put da Japanese word for "Forgotten" and da English word "Forgotten" in da same title?"
It makes the title unique! And I mostly put it there for people who don't understand Japanese words. I hardly understood it, it's only a rough translation.
"Oh well. Get back ta the story."
Sakuya and Isumi were in the medical wing of the Aizawa Household, and were watching over the unconscious Maria, Saki, and Wataru, and the fading in-and-out of consciousness (former) butler Hayate. Maria and Saki were only knocked out by the shockwave that sent them all out into the street. Wataru was injured from that too, but afterwards, he was knocked out by the sheer presence of Hayate's Dark Soul, which for now, he will still be unaware of.
Hayate... was the worst of the injured party. Not only because of the massive electric burns on his torso, but because it took a toll on him to use the Dark Soul unwillingly. Apparently, he struggled a little to keep control. In order to gain control, the Dark Soul had broken Hayate's arm to knock his mind out. Ouch.
Well, everyone was resting in their bed in separate rooms. "Now since Isumi told me the situation, I put two people in each room, with whom their most familiar!" The rooms are as follows: Hayate and Saki, and Wataru and Maria. Isumi and Sakuya were in Hayate and Saki's room.
Isumi looked worried. "Um, Sakuya-san? Because noone knows Hayate-sama anymore, Saki-san doesn't know him. He's been with Maria more."
"... YA SAID A MAID! Ya were never clear on which one he started out with!"
How does Isumi know so much? In about a minute of Hayate's consciousness, he told Isumi about the situation. The only detail he left out, was who helped him when.
A few hours later, Hayate woke up. Saki was already awake, and staring out the window. "Oh, Hayate-san. You're awake finally."
Hayate was a bit confused. He remembered nearly dying, and the conversation with the dark entity, but other than that, he remembers nothing. 'What happened?' He's too dazed to figure out he was possessed.
"How long was I out?" Hayate asked.
Saki looked up from the window and said, "Five Days."
Hayate looked out the window with Saki. "Oh. I've fainted longer."
Saki had been told all of Hayate's endeavors from Maria. She had witnessed quite a few of them herself. Maria also told Saki that whenever someone asked Hayate how he got so good at something or when something similar happened to his past life, he would bring up a past part time job he had as a child, reminding all of them of the shitty childhood he had, making everyone feel awkward and wonder if they should laugh or cry that this boy is laughing about the hardships in his life that nearly killed or mentally wounded him. Of course, Hayate told Maria this after he was forgotten, so that noone would ask, and another increasingly awkward moment would be avoided.
So, Saki decided not to ask when he fainted longer. "So, what are you waiting for Hayate-san?"
Hayate blushed as he said, "I'm waiting for Maria-san to wake up."
Saki looked at him slyly as she said, "Oh really? You only just woke up, walked over to the window, and make a worried face as if you're waiting for Maria? I think you like Maria!"
Which is true. While he was asleep, Hayate had a dream about Maria. In the manga, he exhibits feelings of love for Maria and looks to her for advice sometimes. In the anime, they went out (on a pretend date which Hayate took as a 'sign' from Maria.) Hayate has no reason not to like Maria. But Hayate currently wants to avoid confessing to that.
"W-well, it's only natural to like her! She's a nice person, and a good friend!"
Because Saki still doesn't remember Hayate prior to about a week ago, she is acting differently toward him. "Friend? No. I'm not talking about liking someone as a friend."
Hayate's whole face was flushed now. "W-well, what other k-kind of like is th-there?"
"L-O-V..."
"Eyaahhhh! Don't say it!" Shouted Hayate.
He leaned his head against the window. "How did the topic jump from how I'm doing, to my love life? And that's a rhetorical question! Don't answer!"
Saki laughed a little.
She looked back out the window. "I wonder how Waka is doing..."
She looked around. Hayate was in bed, asleep. He still needed rest.
"So, ya love Wataru, do ya?"
Saki was surprised. Due to her surprise, she forgot to deny anything. She just turned around and shouted, "OMYGAWD how'd you know?"
Saki was now facing Sakuya. "Well, If I didn't know before, I sure do now!"
Small drops of sweat rolled down Saki's face. "Um..."
After a long story of how she fell in love with Wataru when they first met, Saki blushed even more than Hayate did a few minutes ago.
Sakuya lauged loud enough for the world to hear. "Really now? Ya know what kinda situation yer in, right?"
Saki nodded. "Yes. I know that my Waka is already in love with Isumi-san. I wouldn't want to get in the way of what he wants."
"... Ya do realize da other reason why ya can't be wit Wataru, right?"
Saki paused. Then nodded again. "Yes. I'm twenty years old. Waka is seven years younger than me. I can't be with an underage child. It's morally wrong."
Sakuya then said "I see. So basically, ya have a Shota Complex (Small boy complex)."
Saki jumped at this. "I do not have a sexual attraction to little boys!" She then fidgeted a little before muttering, ".. just Waka.."
Sakuya jumped up in the air and said, "AALLLLLRIIIIGHHHT! I'm gonna go tell him now!"
"No wait! Don't do it!"
Sakuya looked mischievously toward Saki. "OK. But in return, you have to tell him!"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
"Well then I'll tell him."
"No!"
"So which will it be?"
Saki thought of any possible way out of this situation. With Sakuya here, there are no ways out. Saki finally decided that Wataru should know. 'Even if it makes living together awkward, I should tell him to get this weight off my chest at least...'
Saki slipped on two black leather gloves. "I'll decide using rock paper scissors!" Yeah. Those gloves are for rock paper scissors.
Sakuya put on her game face. "'Kay! I'm ready when you are!"
JAN
KEN...
PON!
A couple of minutes later, Saki was walking down to Wataru's room (shared with Maria) with Sakuya (who came to make sure Saki confessed.)
"I'm telling you Sakuya ojou-sama, paper beats rock!"
"But not super rock. Super rock beats everything."
"Everything?"
"Yup."
"Well, what about super paper?"
"Yeah, you could use super paper."
"Ok, then I use super paper!"
"But then I'll use super scissors."
"... The whole point is to"- she was cut off by the sound of the door opening and the sight of Wataru and Isumi (with Maria still asleep.)
"...love you..."
Saki's ears must have been deceiving her. She couldn't have heard...
"Isumi. I love you!"
Yup. She heard it.
Isumi looked shocked. As if she didn't expect anyone to have romantic interest in her. (Well, she may not have remembered that normal people have love-lives because she's busy finding her way around everywhere and with exorcizing spirits.) "Wataru-kun. I..."
Wataru speaks. "No worries. I always knew you wouldn't go for a guy like me, so I don't need an immediate answer! Just tell me when you can!" Wataru was jittering. He was extremely nervous. It took him all this time, but he finally confessed! But what sort of effect will it have on the people around him?
In the other room, Saki is quietly sobbing, and Sakuya is consoling her. "Things, sniff will be a lot harder from now on sniffle. I, I... I hate it..."
Meanwhile, in the subconscious of Hayate...
'My God. I can feel immense power... but who's it from?'
The Dark Soul tells him. "Someone's using a dark soul. A small amount of power, but enough to make you wonder in you're sleep..."
"Hey, I didn't know you could invade my dreams!"
Maria was waking up...
"Did someone confess in here?" How does she know these things?!
And the certain presence Hayate is feeling... is hidden behind a bookshelf in the hospital rooms...
"...All life form data, has been copied."
The organization members are all working on the plan the voice told them while you weren't looking, so they won't be appearing this chapter.

Wataru: If you don't know what anime the authors talking about, don't worry, the poll closes in November!

Well, this chapter may have been boring, but don't worry! The cliffhanger at the end should keep you entertained for a while! (Hopefully long enough for me to come up with a story behind the cliffhanger!)
Yeah, I forgot to tell you, I'm a bit pessimistic (I have a negative view of my life), but that doesn't mean I don't have fun! The reason I tell you this is because it is similar to how Hayate views his own life. It's the only similarity we have really. In fact, It makes me a bit like the author of the manga! (Not that being pessimistic is anything to be proud of...)
"I'm tired Shuji. Lets go to bed."
Together?
"Yes."
Okay, I'm gonna leave what just happened up to you. (I am a bit too young, so don't think I'm talking about sex!)
