Volume 24 The Confrontation of Haruhi Suzumiya!
Volume 25 The Souls of Haruhi SuzumiyaPrologue"OK, Kyon"
said Koizumi while peeling an orange.
"Tell me what happened truthfully."
"Koizumi, would I lie straight to your face about this matter, all I saw was that a shadowy thing went behind Haruhi and made her go into a comatose state." I replied seriously.
it's Monday and the anniversary of the 2nd SOS Brigade search for mystery has ended with a terrible conclusion, Haruhi Suzumiya is in a coma.
"That is strange, cause when I saw Haruhi and Kyon together there was no shadowy figure present there." replied Koutini with a perplexed tone.
Koutini stood there thinking with a puzzled look on her face, she looked kind worried then she said.
"Kyon, what did this shadow look like?" asked Koutini.
"i don't know, it looked like Haruhi's shadow." I replied truthfully.
"Haruhi's shadow." thought Koizumi aloud.
Koutini was deep in thought as well as I, Koizumi looked puzzled and Mikuru was shaking.
"I guess, it could've been a ghost." suggested Jane nonchalantly.
Jane's mind too was boggled, from this quandary then suddenly...
"Jane, ghost's don't go out in daylight just like that and if we take Kyon's record of events into account I seriously doubt a doppelganger will be stupid enough to whisk Haruhi away from us without having a back up plan in case Haruhi figures out who they are." asserted Kyronis who looked quite distraught in relation to the current event.
"Kyronis, I didn't get that at all." I replied in confusion.
Koizumi smirked and replied with.
"Kyon, what he is trying to say is that no ghost would attempt such an act and have no reason to."
I nodded slightly to signal I sort of got the idea.
"still, why did this happen?" I asked in a perplexed tone.
Koizumi patted my on the shoulder in a helium light manner and uttered.
"Don't worry, we'll find them and save Haruhi."
The school chimes rang it was time for school period again.
During class, I felt like I had seemingly no strength to study now that Haruhi's in hospital and has been spirited away by a ghost with near god-like powers as I had made up in my mind that a normal ghost would never stand up to Haruhi's subconscious and yet this one did and survived to tell the tale. What ever happened in class then was aimlessly wasted in my brain as I tried to care as much as rise my head in a 90 degree position but it always fell to the 10 degree position. Jane and Kyronis were busy studying and writing notes whereas I just drooped my head and lay there in that position till class ended, needless to say, I forgot everything I was taught in those periods.
It is Lunch now, and I had to eat my lunch in the clubroom as it was quieter there and so I headed off to the clubroom at breakneck speed, and got to the clubroom door in about 3 minutes. I knocked on the door waiting for a reply.
"come in."
I opened the door and saw Koutini and Jane sitting at the table eating lunch and on the table was a note on a letter that had roses on it. No doubt it was Asahina san who wrote it, I thought and so I took the letter and opened it to confirm my suspicions. I was correct that this letter was by Asahina san as it was signed by Asahina San as well, this was what the letter said...
Dear Kyon
I am hearing that my superiors are cautious to the impending fate that is yet to set on the SOS Brigade, no the universe as well as the future will change because of this.
And so I have been summoned to the future about this disaster.
Kyon, Haruhi's gone and if she is not parted with her body within 20 days then, she'll surely die.
Mikuru Asahina
P.S Don't worry about me, but worry about Nagato.
I was Shocked when I saw the part of the letter about Haruhi dying. I stood, letter In hand for 10 seconds till...
"Oh yeah about that, it's true about the Haruhi dying bit but I'm confused about the 'worry about Nagato' bit. It's not common to see Nagato being absent today either."
Jane looked at me and then said
"we'll discuss about this at the brigade meeting."
We all did our own thing like me reading a book off the shelf in the clubroom,
Jane and Koutini having fun playing speed Uno. We were making the best of things as it was a time for us a time to reprieve from the weird happenings around us and enjoy normal school life, still I got the feeling things would get even worse after today...
soon the school chimes rang and it was time to head off to class again, so I went to the next class and tried hard to listen though it was difficult to hear the teacher as I have been through much in a day and it wasn't over yet and so Jane helped me with my math.
"Ok Kyon, use this formula to get this answer" stated Jane.
Jane scribbled on a piece of paper as she sat next to me,she was writing formulas that even Albert Einstein would have trouble understanding with.
"so this formula will definitely be used in this test, as well as this example and this." stated Jane with a smile.
This happened all throughout class, and I also wrote in my book about all the questions the teacher would use, soon it was the end of school and I had written about 5 pages of math revision then just as I was going to leave the class room Jane then put her finger on her lips and with a with a wink she said.
"Kyon, if you can remember all this then I'm sure you can pass the test with flying colours!"
We walked to the lockers and I said.
"You go on without me, I'll just get my stuff and head over."
"Right, see you. At the clubroom." replied Jane with another smile.
then Jane left me in a trail of dust as she sped off for the cultural block.
I t took me about 5 minutes to pack my bag and lug it to the clubroom door. I knocked three times out of habit but then I heard.
"what? Come in."
it was Asahina san's heavenly voice, the angel Haruhi made into the SOS Brigade mascot by forcing her to become a maid and also wear skimpy outfits. And so I opened the door and saw Mikuru with Koizumi, Koutini as well as Jane also Kyronis but no Nagato, Weird. I took a chair and sat around the table an sighed heavily. Then Koizumi stood up and announced in an informative tone.
"members of the SOS Brigade as you already know, Our brave Brigade leader Haruhi Suzumiya has fallen into a coma but not just any ordinary coma but a coma so deep that there is 0% chance of waking up too and so I'd like to announce to the members of the SOS Brigade that our glorious leader Haruhi Suzumiya has been stolen or in other words 'spirited away'."
"what?" I immediately replied in reflex.
"Koizumi, is this true?" asked Jane.
Koizumi spoke in a more calm manner and replied.
"yes, it is true."
This can not be happening? Why is this happening, Haruhi how could you allow this to occur, I thought it was impossible for you to be 'spirited away?', was I wrong to believe that nothing would happen to you? Asahina san quickly spoke up to confirm the worst.
"um, listen people, it is t,true of what Koizumi said and that during my meeting with my superiors they came to the same conclusion as Koizumi."
"What?" I blurted out, again out of reflex.
"How can this happen?" asked Koutini who looked tense as did the rest of us.
"inconceivable!" Kyronis then replied out of reflex.
slowly the clubroom began its decent into chaos until Koizumi made a proposition.
"listen, there is only one more faction to listen to because if Nagato can confirm that Haruhi's been 'spirited away' then we will all agree on the worst case scenario, OK?"
Jane spoke to reach equal ground with Koizumi.
"Ok, if Nagato can prove this has occurred then we 3 will participate with the original members and end our pointless pointing of fingers, now Koutini, Kyronis do you accept my terms cause the last thing we want is a single defection in the SOS Brigade beliefs."
"Nice compromise." I said.
"Ok, I Jane Arahiri of The SOS Brigade will swear full allegiance on this matter and will endeavor to discover the reason behind the turn of events if, you can prove that Haruhi Suzumiya has in fact being 'spirited away'." proclaimed Jane in a profound manner.
Jane felt confident after taking and oath and so it was Koutini's turn to take the oath.
" I Koutini Arahiri of The SOS Brigade will swear absolute loyalty on this event and will strive rectify the turn of events if, you can prove that Haruhi Suzumiya has indeed being 'spirited away'." Proclaimed Koutini in the same manner as Jane.
Koutini smiled and so it was Kyronis to take the oath
" I Kyronis Arahiri of The SOS Brigade will assist and investigate on this matter if, you can prove beyond reasonable doubt, that Haruhi Suzumiya has in fact being 'spirited away'." Announced Kyronis in an overenthusiastic tone.
after Kyronis took his oath Koizumi took out his phone and began to ring Nagato.
"this will all be cleared up once Nagato either confirms it or denies the claims put forward by Mikuru and I." stated Koizumi, who was punching in the numbers of Nagato's mobile phone number eagerly.
Beep, beep...
"..."
"Hello, is Nagato there?" asked Koizumi in his normal tone, the one he uses for philosophical conversations with me.
"Yes" replied Nagato in a sickly yet neutral tone.
"Nagato what happened to your voice, do you have a cold?" asked Koizumi who appeared to have kept emotions from spilling out of him.
"...yes..." replied Nagato quietly.
What? I thought Nagato was immune to the types of viruses of this earth.
"Well, that's a surprise." stated Kyronis reluctantly.
"Ok, see you later" said Koizumi calmly.
"bye" replied Nagato in a flat tone.
Beep...
Koizumi put his phone away and and began to ponder about what occurred till 1 minute elapsed of pure silence then he spoke but this time the tone was worrying.
"Attention, members of the SOS Brigade, Nagato has caught the cold and is in bed resting and one more thing, it seems the the Canopy Domain has made it's first move after our confidence in the brigade began to shatter."
I was about to speak until Koizumi said.
"This indeed is the most dire circumstances that we've gotten ourselves into."
What the hell?
