The Quandary of Suzumiya Haruhi- Prologue

((Disclaimer! I do not own any thing in regards to Suzumiya Haruhi))

The pressure of light breathing from underneath me brought me back to the state of conciousness. Not until then did I realize that my entire right arm hurt as well as my head. What happened? A quaver from underneath me made me open my eyes. I looked around at my surroundings carefully. That's weird... isn't this Nagato's apartment? Looking down I saw part of North High's sailor girl uniform underneath me. I jumped up as I realized that I was laying sprawled on Nagato's frail looking body. Her left hand was still firmly clutching my right hand even though she was also unconcious. I tried to pull my hand away. Man she's got a tight grip...

"Nagato," I said, shaking her with my other hand. "Nagato!" As I shook her I realized that everything was blanketed in an erie darkness, complete with absolutely no sound. The darkness reminded me of something I never wanted to visit again. It reminded me of the time Haruhi and I ended up in closed space at school. Nagato's leg twitched suddenly and I looked back down at her. Let me explain first.

Near the end of the SOS Brigade meeting today, Haruhi jumped at Mikuru and started babling about things they needed to 'aquire' for the club room. An alarm at the back of my mind went off as the strange girl with yellow ribbons started talking about new outfits and ideas of what Mikuru should get while out shopping. Of course Itsuki would do nothing but smile annoyingly so I tried to help the poor time traveling girl. She coward nervously under Haruhi's evil grin, watching her every movement just in case she pounced. But Haruhi ignored her and blantly refused to allow me to come.

"You are not to come this time! You'll just be in the way and lag us behind," she said with a flick of her hand. That was the cue of dismissal of any of my protests for the rest of the day.

Nagato firmly shut her book and everyone prepared to leave. Of course, Mikuru stayed behind to change out of her maid costume and back into her school uniform. The rest of us filed outside of the club room.

"Mikuru! Meet me at the front gate!" With that, she happily skipped off down the stairs and out of sight. Itsuki waved and flashed his twinkling smile at us and walked away. I also turned to leave but found Nagato standing in front of me and jumped. When did she get there?! She looked at me with unemotional eyes for a few seconds before blinking.

"What, Nagato?" I asked, regaining my normal composure. She blinked again before speaking.

"Come with me. It is regarding the canopy domain." She turned and started walking away, leaving me standing there. What does she want? I ran after her to catch up. Were they going to start on something?

We walked silently down the steep hill from our school, past stop signs and many houses until we arrived at Nagato's apartment complex. I wanted to ask questions so badly but I knew Nagato wouldn't say a word until we got to her apartment. Both of us walked through the sliding front doors and into the building. We were about to board the elevator when Nagato suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"There is something unfamiliar here," she stated. I looked around but saw nothing out of the ordinary. But even if you don't see something, if Nagato says something's wrong, there's definately something wrong. The lights in the building suddenly flickered before going off, throwing everything into darkness. Okay, now I'm really starting to freak out. As my night vision started to kick in, I could see Nagato turn around.

"Follow me." Of course I followed her. I'd be dead by now if I never followed what the alien said. I was about to open the front door when Nagato firmly clasped my right hand, stopping me.

What? Nagato kept her eyes dead forward before proceeding first. She lifted up her right hand and touched the door. Instantly she was flung back several feet, dragging me along with her. My arm burned as it was jerked almost out of its socket. We landed heavily on the ground, me falling on top of her, both of us out cold. So now you understand our predicament. Back to where we were...

NOTE Sorry, I was having problems uploading this yesterday. So I re-uploaded it.

I believe this fan fiction is what you call a one shot but I'm not sure. It's in Kyon's POV as to try and keep it in character. D I came up with this idea on the way to my grandpa's today. You can think up a lot of coolieo stuff in one hour. xD I've already got an idea on how this plays out so I'll finish it for sure. Hopefully I can stay in character. These guys are so hard to write! I hope I did this one's right. XO Here's hoping
