Hey all! This is my first even FanFic! Guess it goes to show just how much I adore Haruhi.

To cut a long story short, I've always wondered what was going to happen after all those years at North High for Haruhi and the gang.

Well, this is my take on what will ultimately happen. Enjoy!

The Finality of Suzumiya Haruhi (Chapter One)

"I'm so bored!!!" exclaimed Haruhi, as she sat cross-legged on the Brigade Chief's table, arms folded and looking out of the window, an expression of melancholy upon her face. It was spring time now but the weather was a little too cold for comfort. The cherry blossoms were late this year too. I wonder why.

The club-room of the SOS-Dan was as it always was, except for a few subtle differences. The (extorted) computer that always dominated the Brigade Chief's table had been packed neatly into a cardboard box, along with all its accessories, and was now located at the foot of the table. The clothes rack from which numerous cosplaying outfits always hung was empty and as for the outfits, they too had been dumped unceremoniously into several cardboard boxes that looked like they were on the verge of bursting. Perhaps the only outfit which had been saved (for the time-being anyway) from this cruel fate was the "maid" one currently donned by the mascot of the SOS-Dan, Asahina Mikuru, as she busied herself as always preparing tea for everyone. Damn she made a good cup of tea. How long more was I going to be able to see her in that costume anyway? (By the way was it coincidence that she had to repeat a year at North High? I doubt so.)

The book shelf too, stood empty along the wall of the room. It had been assumed that the books had been removed by the Student Council over the weekend but obviously, that was just an excuse made to pacify Haruhi, who was in quite a rage when she discovered the empty book shelf. It would be pretty lame if a closed space had occurred because of that. Koizumi assured me that none had appeared that day though. Did he really need to say it while smiling like that? After three years it still pisses me off. Moreover, I knew that the books had probably been carted away (teleported more likely) by a certain alien, namely Yuki Nagato. She sat in her private chair, flipping through a book written in what looked like Chinese, or so I assumed from the cover. Just how many languages does she know anyway? I never asked.

Other than that, the room was as it always was. The chess board had been set-up and I was now contemplating a move against Koizumi, who just sat there and smiled. What I would give to know what was going through his mind. You'd think that the esper would be a bit more upset from losing to me all the time. How annoying. Well whatever, I had other things on my mind.

It's true. Something had been bugging me for the entire day. No it was not the fact that I probably didn't do as well as I should have for the graduating examinations. No it was not the fact that soon, I would be going on to another stage in life (Oh joy). On the contrary, it was something that (though they did not openly show it) everyone else in the room had (except for Haruhi) on their minds. What exactly was going to happen to the world when the SOS-Dan is no more? It was an inevitable question and it loomed ever closer as the school term drew to a close. After today there would be four days left to the end of high school. Or perhaps the end of everything? I was astounded at how ambivalent I was to the idea. Perhaps having gone through everything in the past few years had numbed me to these things. Oh I'll bet Koizumi didn't see this move coming. Check-mate.

I was walking down the hill from school. Haruhi has dismissed us and stormed out of the club-room in obvious frustration, though she tried to hide it as best as she could. I wasn't really feeling anything at that point in time. Should I have comforted her? Yeah right as if I could ever do that. I remembered all the good times in the past few years with the SOS-Dan. The filming of that vile movie. Going back in time and meeting Haruhi when she was still a brat (Actually, she's still a brat but don't tell her I said that). The trip to the mysterious island. The endless recursion of summer. The… Wait. Was I feeling melancholic too? Crap. I mentally face-palmed.

The walk home seemed to take longer than usual. I had been rudely awakened (to the reality that school was going to end in a mere five days) that very morning when Taniguchi had practically ran to me screaming about how unfulfilled his love life in high school had been and that now he would never get the years back. Don't get me wrong. I was not astounded at my lack of romance in high school. I'm quite thankful for that by the way. It was more due to the fact that Taniguchi had done that just as Haruhi had been walking into class. I face-palmed. Oh Taniguchi, you fool. If I don't see you in school tomorrow I'll know why. Haruhi proceeded to give him and me (what did I do?) a death glare. She then walked promptly to her seat, plopped herself down, put her head on the table, and slept. I knew better though. Whenever Haruhi did something like this Koizumi was about to get busy. As I had said though, no close space appeared that day. Was Haruhi coming to terms with reality? Was she accepting that high school was going to end in a mere few days and with it the SOS-Dan she had given her life to creating? I did not know. I'm not Haruhi. I don't want to be Haruhi. Whatever it was, I did not comfort her. Thinking about it, maybe I should have. Nothing good ever came out of a depressed Haruhi. Nothing.

"Tadaima!" I shouted to whoever was at home at that point in time. I was greeted by the squeaky voice of my little sister from somewhere upstairs, though I could not make out a single word she had said. Ah imouto, if only you knew my internal struggle! Well it wasn't really a struggle. I'm exaggerating. I climbed wearily up the stairs to my room and upon reaching it, dumped my lifeless body onto the bed while still clad in uniform. No homework. No funny assignments by Haruhi to seek out the paranormal. Nothing to do at all. You'd think that anyone would be happy at the prospects but I was far from happy. Melancholy eh? I laughed to myself as I realised that it took three long years to finally understand how Haruhi felt most of the time. So this was what it felt like to feel… Bored. I fell asleep. I was rudely awakened by a phone call. Damn it! I lunged for the phone in my pocket, flipped it open and put it to my ear, preparing to obliterate whoever was on the other side (figure of speech by the way).

"Hello Kyon-kun." came an all too familiar voice that was so often spoken with a mouth that had a smile plastered all over it. Koizumi you bastard! Steal my beauty sleep will you!? Die!

"What is it? Spit it out." I replied nonchalantly. Look it's not my fault I'm feeling like this. Give me a break!

"Is it possible for you to meet us at the usual café? We need to discuss certain matters concerning Suzumiya-san."

By "we" I guess you're referring to me, you, a certain alien and a certain beautiful time traveler. I face-palmed.

"Looks like I don't have a choice do i? I'll be right there." I replied with a voice which refused to hide my un-enthusiasm.

"Sorry if this inconveniences you." Koizumi said as he hung up. Yeah, as if anything that we meet for does not have world-altering consequences. Oh joy. I changed out of my school clothes into something casual and after shouting goodbye to my sister, left for the café on my bike, peddling as slowly as I possibly could. Please let this be a normal friendly chat about school for once Koizumi?

As always, I was the last to arrive. Koizumi waved to me from the back of the café. Reluctantly I walked towards the trio who had already ordered drinks for themselves. Wait I'm not paying this time am I? I'd better not be! Haruhi isn't here so her rule does not apply! Asahina-san said a casual "good evening" to me as I took my place beside Nagato. Koizumi was giving his toothless grin as always and had his hands clasped in front of him. Asahina-san looked lost in thought, her hands on her lap. Nagato, as always, was expressionless, although perhaps she was slurping her drink at a faster rate than usual? The atmosphere was awkward and unbearably silent. I decided to break the silence.

"So. What's happened this time? An endless recursion of time for the last few days of high school? Some gigantic closed space which threatens to destroy the world in the next hour?" I was joking about the latter by the way.

Koizumi just smiled at me while Asahina-san looked rather uncomfortable after I had mentioned the words "destroy the world". Sorry Asahina-san! I humbly apologize… And Nagato, please respond at least once in a while. After a moment, Koizumi spoke.

"On the contrary Kyon-kun, it's because nothing has happened as of yet that we have called for this meeting."

That makes a great deal of sense Koizumi. It does not make me more confused than I usually am. Thanks a bunch pal.

"I had the impression that we only had meetings like this when something catastrophic was about to happen." I replied questioningly. Koizumi smiled (Don't make me hit you Koizumi!) and went on.

"You misunderstand. Just because nothing has happened doesn't mean that nothing will happen. We're meeting because we need to consider the possibilities and take the appropriate actions. By possibilities I mean the possibilities of what Suzumiya-san would unconsciously do in the next few days that could, as you have suggested, destroy the world."

How the heck can this guy say things like that so calmly? I was surprised when Nagato spoke up next.

"The Data-Integration Thought Entity has calculated that the probability of Haruhi Suzumiya performing a universe altering event to be 256% in the next four days."

Great. So it's come down to this after all. Nagato really downplays the seriousness with her monotonous voice. I face-palmed.

"So… Once again, what can we do to prevent this?" I asked, although I already knew what Koizumi's reply would be.

"If I knew, I would tell you. However, as always we are left to the whims of Suzumiya-san. We can only sit and wait for something to happen. I would prefer if nothing happened although the Data-Integration Thought Entity has not been known to be wrong often. Nagato-san is after all more reliable than any of us in any situation."

I agree with you there. Images of Ryouko Asakura wielding a knife and attempting to kill me flashed before my eyes.

"However, ultimately one thing is for certain. The only one who is able to influence Suzumiya-san and upon whom we will place all our hopes will be…"

Please don't say it. Please Koizumi let me go through the last few days of high school without any…

"You."

Damn you Koizumi!

Silence once again permeated the café. Did these three get the whole place reserved for the night or something? On hindsight it's actually rather late. Everyone was finishing their drinks. Asahina-san then broke the tension by yawning. Ah she's as cute as ever.

"I'm sorry… I'm quite sleepy" she apologized, hanging her head. Anyone will forgive you Asahina-san. Who could resist?

"Well I guess that's the end of our meeting. What I've said are merely words of caution. Nothing may happen in the next few days. Kyon-kun, don't worry too much. I guess we should all go home and get some rest should anything occur that requires our attention."

Everyone got up and left. I sat there quietly. Isn't the one who's most tired always me at the end of the day? After three years I still had no idea why I was part of the SOS-Dan. Me. An ordinary human being. Why was I chosen by Haruhi? Why me? Oh God why me? On hindsight since Haruhi is God that's not a very effective plea. I got up to leave. Wait was I forgetting something…

DAMN YOU ALL! WHY AM I PAYING AGAIN?!

The next few days looked pretty bleak for some reason.

Well, there you have it. Will anything happen in the next few days? Just why was Kyon chosen by Haruhi? How will things unfold from now on? Read on to find out!
