Spoiler for The ending.:

Does Hanyuu die at the end of the visual novels? I know there's one version where Miyo shoots her and she's killed but was it the visual novels or was it that PS2 side story/whatever it was?

Spoiler for About that ending:

It happen in Miotsukushi-hen in the PS2 Higurashi Matsuri (though I'm not sure if it also happen in the DS port, due to lacking info).

However, in Miotsukushi-hen, Takano did not kill Hanyuu. At the end, with the struggling battle between Rika and Takano, Takano, wounded, finally gave up. Then the Banken (the army force Tomitake works for) came in and were order to Execute Takano, ignoring Oiishi's and Rika's plea. As they fired at Takano, Hanyuu appeared in front of Takano to protect her by taking the bullet for her. Then, Tomitake finally appeared to change the orders of killing Takano and helped her. That's when Hanyuu slowly dies in Rika and Keiichi's arm
