A/N: This is the next chapter, I hope that my grammar improved, and the 'rush' thing decreases. thanks for pointing that out reviewers. And now without further ado, This is chapter 2.. (didn't turn out well.) XD

Disclaimer: I don't own Hayate no Gotoku

"Thank you for checking on me"

"You did something to Izumi-chan!"

"Good bye Hayata-kun"

All of this thoughts rushed through Hayate's mind as he wandered aimlessly around the city, not planning to go home yet.

I Do Remember

Chapter 2

The Aimless Wanderer

Hayate continued to wander around the city streets, still thinking about what Risa, Miki and Hinagiku told him a while ago. He takes this case rather seriously. He still thinks that he is the one and only reason why she's acting like that. Hayate came across the park where he can be relaxed somehow because this place brings back memories. He sits down on the bench, still thinking what will happen and what will a worthless butler will do in times like this.

"Seriously! Why won't she tell me what's wrong, it's obvious that there is something wrong, I know that were not that close, but why is she acting so different around me and everyone. And one more thing! Asking me if I'm inlove!" He thought rather loudly as a blush creeped on his cheeks. 'Being inlove…' He thought as his blush grew more reddish just likea tomato.

"Of course, she wouldn't tell you because you're the one who made her act like that way." Suddenly, a figure came out of nowhere, with one of her eyes flashing.

"Yeah, I was informed about th-, Wait? What?" Hayate exclaimed as he realized the presence from behind.

Hayate turned around to see who is the one who answered his question and to his surprise, He saw Saginomiya Isumi, one of her arms is on her mouth as usual and one of her eyes flashed because of her sudden point.

"Oh, Hayate-sama, it's rare for you to be seen wandering outside without Nagi." She said with her usual calm voice.

"Ahh, about that…." He trailed of as the memory that bothered him for a while now gushes back into his mind because of that question.

"…"

"…"

After that was mere and awkward silence, no one dared to talk, Hayate was busy thinking on what he should do about the situation he's currently into and Isumi is also busy staring at the poor butler's face wandering what he is thinking.

Before Hayate dived down on his thoughts, Isumi snapped him out of his trance by waving her arm in front of him.

"Hayate-sama! Hayate-sama! Are you alright?" She said as she waved her arm in front of his face, with that, he snapped out of his trance.

"Huh? What? Oh, Isumi-san, Thanks for snapping me out." He said laughing nervously.

After that said a thought quickly struck his mind, 'Isumi-san, alone, no butlers, currently in a park, so it means that…..'

"Isumi-san, are you lost?" He asked

Isumi's mind starts to buffer, . . . .

"Wah. Wah. Wah!" She began to panic and started to run in circles as she knew that she was lost.

'So, she really is lost.' Hayate thought slightly laughing with a sweatdrop on his face.

"Isumi-san, please calm down, I'll escort you home if would allow me." He said showing her one of his genuine smiles that can make any girl blush.

With that, Isumi stopped running in circles and looked on Hayate.

"Thank you, Hayate-sama, it'll be fine if you escort me home." She said with a tint of red on her face.

The trip to their house was rather short, so they don't have to walk that much. Anyone didn't talk, so another awkward silence took over them. Just like what happened a little while ago, Hayate was still thinking on what to do and Isumi is still just walking there while staring bluntly on his face. They did that until they reached the Mansion of Isumi.

"Thank you again, Hayate-sama." She said as she walked to the gate and opened it, after she did that, she stopped for a while, and looks back.

"Hayate-sama, I think your problem is hard to solve because even you, seems to forget the answer in this solution." She said with a pause on the last phrase. Before Hayate could even reply she quickly closed the gates and ran to their house. While outside their house, there was a speechless Hayate standing with awe and disbelief that Isumi, read his mind.

'I don't know the answer in the solution?' He thought as he sighed and walked straight back into the mansion.

"Mattaku~, Where could that Hayate be." Nagi thought as she paced round and round in the violet mansion.

"Maria! Go look for him, I'm worried." She said with a sigh.

"Yes, I'll go look for him, don't worry about Hayate-kun, he would be fine." Maria said with an encouraging smile.

Nagi just ignored her and continued laying her newest PSP game.

"Then I'll be off." Maria said.

Nagi still ignoring her.

"…." Maria walked outside with a sweatdrop.

A lot of places rushed to Maria's mind where Hayate could have went and one thing overcame the most.

"I think he's in the park." Maria said as she went on her way to the park.

Hayate, who was currently walking home, sighed with what did he encountered this day, a lot of accusations, and mindreading was done to him, but that accusations became true to him at least, he is now killing himself out of guilt because of Izumi's dropping cheerfulness. Hayate sighed.

'I don't think that I will survive tomorrow's day at school.' He sighed again.

He walked aimlessly again in the sidewalk, luckily, Maria is just passing by on her way to the park, she quickly saw Hayate but she thought that he is too caught up on his thoughts that he can't even see where he was going. Maria stood in place, waiting for the thought Hayate being like this again sink on her, but before any sinking was done, Hayate bumped to her and with that, she fell to the ground head first, Where Hayate snapped out of his trance again.

"Ma-ma-maria-san! Sorry for bumping into you." He said bowing his head wishing for his apology to be accepted.

"It's fine Hayate-kun, but why are you wandering out of the streets at this late time." She said with a concerned tone as she got up from her fall.

"About that…" The thoughts gushed in again. "There was a lot happening today, so I thought that I should walk for a while." He said trying to cover anything up.

"What about you, Maria-san?" He said trying to divert the topic which he succeeded.

"I was told by Nagi to look for you, You know, she's a little worried about you getting out the streets this late." She said smiling at the thought of Nagi worrying about Hayate.

"Oh, Then, thanks Maria-san, let's walk home shall we?" He said with a fake smile.

"Alright Hayate-kun." She said still a little bit worried about Hayate and not buying his fake smile.

With that said, they started their little and short journey towards the Violet Mansion.

"Maria-san, may I ask you something?" Hayate said being serious.

"What is it Hayate-kun?" She replied with a concerned look on her face.

"Uh, Umm, Nevermind that question Maria-san." Hayate said with his face turning back to normal.

"Oh, fine then, let's go home before Nagi became worried on both of us"

"Right, Ojou-sama might be mad" Hayate said and laughed nervously.

Back at the Violet mansion,

"Achoo!" Nagi sneezed.

"I caught a cold?" Nagi asked to herself. After some seconds, she just ignored it and continued to play her game.

After a while…..

"Hayate! Hayate!, Are you home?" Nagi asked.

"Maria? MARIA!" She is now in rage mode.

"Geez~ I think my popularity in this fanfic isn't that high." She said with a sigh, but still, she just played her video game.

"Geez, this day was very long for me though." Izumi thought as she soaked in the enormous her enormous bath, just like the bath of the Sanzenin's.

All of the things that happened gushes back in her mind just like what Hayate is experiencing a while ago.

"I think some of my friends are getting suspicious, especially Hayata-kun." She blushed as the thought of Hayate worrying about her flashed on her mind.

"Nya-haha." She will just laugh the way out of her problems.

"I just, don't want them to know that I'm that concerned over a memory"

Over a memory, that phrase repeated on her mind, Over a memory, Over a memory, she can't take it anymore and felt a little dizzy. After a while we will see an Izumi with her face down on the bath fast asleep.

"HAYATE? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" screamed Nagi with her demonic voice that anyone who would hear that kind of voice will immediately faint.

"O-ojou-sama, I just walked for a little while." Hayate replied laughing nervously as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh really?" She said not believing what Hayate had just said.

"Hai!"

"..."

"..."

"Maria, let's go to sleep." Nagi said pulling Maria and going out of the scene.

Hayate was left there standing, and after a while, he just ignored it and just walked to his room and quickly go to sleep, he doesn't even bother to change his clothes because of total tiredness.

And that will conclude this ch- wait, we have forgotten someone. Hmmm, no, We don't, That will conclude the second chapter of this story.

"Oh, where am I..."

...

"I need to go to my room!" Izumi said running as fast as she could and got out of the bath as soon as she changed clothes and straightly to her room.

"Whew, that was a close call." She said as she settled down on her bed and slept.

Now this is the real end of the chapter...
