Chapter 14: What's Wrong with Hayate?

"Nnggh…."

"Wake-up! Hayate-chan! I got big news for you!"

"Nngghh….what is it, Yuuno? It's the middle of the night here in Japan, you know"

"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Listen, I got big news about the band!"

"Hmm…. What is this big news anyways? You seem so excited about it"

"Well, you see, the entire production team had decided to launch the band TWO years from now!"

"Ehhhhh?! But isn't that too early? I mean, they've just started training and coping up with their new lives"

"Well, you never told me that every one of them is a child prodigy! The whole team was surprised and mesmerized when they heard the band played some songs. Even their trainers had decided to just flourish their talents and no more training. They all said that their music is very beautiful!"

"Ahaha….I never knew about that as well. Anyways, is that the only BIG news you would want to say?"

"NO! The real big news is about Fate-san…."

"Fate-chan? What about her?"

"Well…. How should I put this….. She's getting DISTRACTED during her training sessions"

"Now, THAT is BIG NEWS. Fate-chan never gets out of focus. What's causing her that?"

"Well, our conclusion is that it's all about the name she is murmuring in her sleep"

"Name? What name?"

"Let's see….if I remembered it correctly…."

"…"

"….."

"You done thinking yet?"

"Oh! Right. Right. It's Nantoka, according to Vita-chan"'

"Nantoka? Pfft! Haha! Hahaha!"

"Hey! What's funny?"

"It's no-nothing! *coughs* anyways, it's not Nantoka but NA-No-Ha"

"Nanoha? How did you know?"

"Well, Nanoha-chan is the strange girl that Fate-chan met before she left for Europe"

"Oohhh… I see. Do you know this Nanoha?"

"Yup! She's a friend of Suzuka-chan and Arisa-chan and now, mine as well"

"Ri~~ght. A friendly average girl…."

"Haha! Don't think like that Yuuno. Nanoha-chan is a really nice person. And she really wants to be friends with Fate-chan"

"I don't know, Hayate-chan. I mean, I don't want some average girl distracting one of my talents. Fate-san is the KEY to my perfect band and I can't lose her to some Nantoka or Nanoha or whatever is her name"

"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa! Easy there, Yuuno. You won't be losing Fate-chan. And Nanoha-chan is not just SOME average girl. The two of them have promised to meet each other once again and you CANNOT and MUST NOT interrupt that. You got what I meant, YUU-NO-KUN?"

"Ahaha…..ye-yeah. NNo problem about that Hayate-chan. I'm just reassuring that I won't be losing my best vocalist. So, you mean that this Nanoha is a very special person to Fate-san?"

"Hmm…Yup! Next to Alicia, I guess"

"Eh! That's how important she is?!"

"YuP!"

"Tsk. I must really do-"

"Do what? YUU-NO-KUN"

"Ahaha! Nothing! Nothing! Oh!Lookmybillforcallingyouistoo highformyallowancegottago! Bye!"

"….."

"Now…. That's just Fuck….."

Hayate sat quietly on her bed as she processes her conversation with the blonde guy. Her cobalt blue eyes opened widely, "OH! The band will be introduced within two years….. Two years?... two years!" she excitedly said as she gazed outside of the window.

Hayate's brows furrowed, "Nngghh! Darn that Yuuno. Disturbing my peaceful night. I forgive him though for giving me a juicy detail about Fate-chan…..Nyahahaha~~~"

Hayate's thoughts were disturbed as she looked at the arm wrapping around her waist. She gently and quietly removed the arm and laid it on the bed, "she sure is clingy for someone who hates me" the brunette murmured while looking at the sleeping face of her fiancée.

After satisfying herself from the image of a very cute and dreaming Carim, Hayate quietly stood up from the bed, however, even before her feet touches the carpeted floor she felt something tugging her shirt from behind, "and where do YOU think YOU'RE going?" Hayate heard a very familiar voice spoke.

She was planning some excuses to tell Carim for the blonde to let her go, but her plans were abolished when she saw the look on Carim's face, Worry and Fear.

The short-haired brunette quickly returned on the bed and gently ruffled some blonde hair, "hmm….nowhere. I was just stretching my arms, besides….. How could I go anywhere… I can't even move my legs…" Hayate stated, her voice getting lower and lower.

Carim felt the depressed expression of Hayate, "Hayate….please don't be sad. Fate-chan's doctor is doing everything he could to cure you. And besides, I'll always be here to push your wheelchair or even carry you around" the blonde paused and turned Hayate's face so that they are facing each other with only an inch apart.

Hayate flinched from the sudden action of the timid and shy Carim, "Ca-Carim? Ahhno…. Ehhto-" Hayate hardly blurted out. Carim was fighting the urge to tightly embrace a very cute and blushing Hayate. She just silenced Hayate's blurtations with a quick kiss on the lips. When the kiss was ended, "Hayate Yagami, I don't care if you're crippled or blinded. I just wanted to love you and you to love me, got that?" Carim stated as if she's angry. Hayate chuckled and returned the quick kiss, "I'll always be yours, my love" the brunette lovingly spoken.

Hayate chuckled even more when she saw that Carim looked like a tomato, "Hayate, you meanie" the blonde stated shyly. Hayate quickly embraced the blonde, her left arm caressing the blonde's back while the right is gently cupping the head of Carim. Carim looked at Hayate, "Can we go to sleep now?" the blonde asked while yawning. Hayate smiled warmly and nodded.

Hayate thanked Yuuno Scrya in her mind for being the cause of seeing a blushing Carim and receiving a kiss from her princess, "Damn you, Yuuno. I am so blessed you called! Hahaha" she laughed in her thoughts.

Carim's POV

Comfortably laying on the bed, I hugged the nearest body pillow I could reach but unexpectedly, the body pillow I got was warm….so warm and shivering…?

"Hayate!" my eyes opened as I looked at my body pillow who is perspiring so much. I moved my body in a sitting position and tried to wake up the feverish brunette, "Hayate? Hayate? Wake-up, hey…." I whispered to her to wake her with ease. When her body stirred she slowly opened her eyes, "Carim?... I feel…..so….." she groggily said.

I laid a finger on her lips to quiet her down, "hush…." I said and moved forward. I laid my forehead onto hers, "you're fever is so high….what happened?" I ask her worriedly. She just gave me a sad smile, "last night…." She started, I looked at her confused, "what happened last night?" I asked as I wiped her trickling sweats.

"last night….in my dreams….. I…..saw….Rein-chan…..she's asking me…to come with….her" Hayate slowly said and closed her eyes. I cupped Hayate's cheek with my hand and she calmly laid her head on it, "Hayate, don't talk like that….. I won't let you come with….Rein-chan…" I whispered and kissed Hayate's burning forehead.

When I moved back from the kiss I saw that Hayate was looking at me happily and somehow….sadly too. "Thank you, Carim….thank…you…" Hayate whispered and then collapsed on my arms. "Hayate….!" With that said I quickly but gently brought down her body on the bed and called for Shamal.

We called for an ambulance and brought Hayate to the nearest private hospital. We had also contacted Leorio-sensei, the doctor that Fate-chan had recommended, and asked him to check on my brunette fiancée.

Not even an hour had passed and Leorio-sensei arrived at the hospital, "where is she?" he stoically asked but his face contained fear. I stood from my sit, "she's in there," I pointed to the intensive care unit (ICU). Leorio-sensei nodded and quickly walked towards the room, "help her….please" I begged to Leorio-sensei.

The tall doctor stop on his feet and turned around making his white coat sway with the wind, "don't worry, our knight is a very strong cavalier" he replied and smiled. I gave him a look that said, 'how did you?' but he just winked at me and turned around once again facing the way towards Hayate's room. I stared at the white coat of the doctor, "I just hope her disease…won't be that severe or crucial. Please….pray for her…" the sensei said and began walking away.

I looked at shamal who was talking with someone on her phone, "yes, please inform them too. Let's pray for her wellness. Yes….sorry for the disturbance, bye" I heard her said and closed her flip-top phone. I sat beside Shamal, "who was that?" I ask her while I'm trying not to panic about my fiancee's condition. She bowed her head a little and stared at her hand, which is on her thighs, "that was the current headmaster of the Yagami Family….he said that you need to stay here…. Carim-chan" Shamal paused and looked at me desperately, "Please. Whatever happens don't leave Hayate-chan's side. Having Rein-chan gone really made a huge impact on her. You are now the MOST important one for her, so please…. I don't want to see Hayate-chan slowly loosing herself again…" Shamal cried and tears streamed down her face continuously.

I tightly embraced the older woman and rubbed her back slowly, "of course I will never leave her or her side. Besides, Hayate have lots of friends now and I know that once Fate-san and the others had heard of Hayate's condition they would instantly fly from Europe towards here in Japan…" I paused and shut my eyes close to stop the forming tears to flow from my eyes, "there are so many people caring for her now. That is why she can' leave us"

Normal POV

Three hours had passed by and the doors to Hayate's room opened revealing Leorio-sensei. Carim instantly stood up and walked to the doctor, "how is she? Will she be fine? What happened to her?" the blonde worriedly asked. Leorio-sensei taps her shoulders to calm her down a bit, "she's alright….for now" the doctor said with a bit of joy. Carim stared at Leorio's eyes, "what do you mean? For now?" she asked afraid.

Leorio sat beside Shamal where Carim followed and sat with them, "alright, I'll be straight-forward to the two of you" he paused and stared blankly at the floor, "we all know that Hayate's crippled legs were due to a virus in her legs. Now, these viruses are trying to climb up to her head. Luckily, it had not reached her brain…yet…" "Brain? Virus? What happens when it reaches her brain?!" Carim asked in panic in which Shamal tried to calm down.

"Thank you, Shamal. Now, back to my topic, if these viruses would reach her brain, it could cause only two effects…." The doctor now looks at the two women beside him, "it's either she gets comatose a.k.a. brain dead or she'll get killed by the virus" he sadly informed.

Shamal's and Carim's faces were filled with fear, "No…..that can't be….." Carim said to herself but was heard by the others. She slowly sways her head from left to right as if trying not to accept what the doctor had said. Shamal, who was hiding her breakdowns, looked at Leorio-sensei, "is there anything we could do to save her?" she asked as if it's the last straw of her life.

Leorio-sensei raised his index finger, "yes, there is one solution left. I need to operate on her body and remove those viruses. However the success rate of the operation is very low…" the doctor ended. This time Carim spoke, "how low?" she sternly asked. Leorio closed his eyes, tried to estimate, "40%, only 40% and the rest would be miracles" he replied, and stood from his chair, "I better get going. I still need to analyze and prepare for the operation. I would want to at least increase the success rate" with that said, he left the two dejected-looking blondes.
