Author's Notes This story is based on the Anime/Manga series: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I wanted to write a unique love story between Kyon and Ryoko Asakura so this is my shot at it. Strange pairing considering the fact that Asakura wanted to kill him in the first place, but what if Nagato never interfered and instead Kyon played his cards to change her mind?. The life of Asakura will slowly change over time, making her human the more she spends time with our lovable protagonist, Kyon. But, how will Haruhi react to all this?.

Chapter 1: The Beginning Of The End

Today was like any other day, the same old boring routines such as waking up early in the morning to getting ready for school. Lastly I ended up walking up the same old hill, greeting Taniguchi on the way there before departing away to check some girls out that peeked his interest. Good luck buddy..

I went into my shoe locker and noticed a note that fell into the ground just as I was about to pull my gym shoes. I of coursed picked it up and read it to my curiosity.

The ordinary letter asked me to meet them after school at class. No name nor a reason.. I obviously wondered who sent me this and for what purpose do they wanted to meet me.

As I walked to class I wondered who had sneaked this letter in there. None of my old friends could of done it, they can just ask me in person like they always do; Haruhi would just throw all her ideas at me whenever she had the chance; could it be Nagato?. That's a possibility, after all she didn't directly asked me to come over to her house when she explained all that nonsense about aliens and data to me. What does she want from me this time?.

I sat down with class starting just a few minutes after. I of course focused my attention to the lessons given to me while avoiding Haruhi's blabbering like always and finally ending the school day with no problems at all. I went back to my locker to gather my things and walked back up once the school halls were nearly empty.

I opened the slide doors and saw Ryoko Asakura waiting alone in class with her attention focused on me with a smile forming on her face. "Erm, were you the one who put this letter on my locker?" I asked knowing that she was in fact the one who sent it since she's right here standing in front of me alone like if she was expecting someone.

"Yes!" She said with her usual tone of voice, like if she lived a live without worries.

"There was something I've been meaning to ask you"

"W-what?" I asked, feeling a little nervous to be around a girl alone in this room. "People are always saying.. Its always better to regret what you've done than to regret having done nothing. How do you feel about that statement?".

Okay.. What is she trying to get at?. ".. Well it means what it says. What if you knew that maintaining a situation you were in as it was would yield no results?. But you didn't know what to do?".

"Wouldn't any change be good as long as it's change?" She continued with a sharp more focused look. She looked away and mumbled something to herself before slashing downwards, almost cutting me with a razor sharp dagger if I hadn't dodged.

"You didn't hear me?.. I said I'm going to kill you.. and see how Haruhi Suzumiya reacts!"

"What?!. What are you talking about?!" I exclaimed before she attacked again with my body auto dodging her. I think this is what they call our inner animal instinct or something. "Hold on just a second!, what are you trying to get at?!" I asked while reaching for the door at the back but it wouldn't budge.

"Its no use. You're under my data jurisdiction!" she informed with the room transforming.. Or rather it was like if we were teleported into a different dimension.

"Are you afraid of dying?" She asked with a smile on her face.

Of course I'm afraid!, who isn't?!. "Answer my question!, what are you trying to accomplish by killing me?"

"It seems that you also cannot comprehend human language?. I said that I'm going to kill you and see how Haruhi Suzumiya reacts" She reiterated as she lunged herself at me like a bullet with my legs moving by themselves to get away.

"That's not what I meant!. Why me?. You won't accomplish anything if I die!" I retorted, but as I was saying this I then realized something.. I had been paralyzed completely. I was immobile somehow.. How is she doing this?!.

"I won't accomplish anything if I kill you?. Can you please elaborate?" She inquired while she walked towards me with that accursed dagger on hand.

"Okay.. Once someone dies people tend to forget about them and just move on.. I doubt that Haruhi would react to it, in matter of fact, if I die then she'll find someone else to fill in my spot, making your attempt meaningless" I sounded like a nervous fool who is finding an excuse to be spared, I just said what just popped into my mind, damn I don't know how she's doing this; Locking me inside this weird dimension thing.. Paralyzing my body completely.. Am I going to die?

"But that goes against my philosophy. I think its better to do something then to do nothing. If I fail, then I will simply take a different approach" She closed in on me and locked her right arm around me with the dagger pointed close to my neck while giving me that innocent smile of hers.

A man could die happy if he was in such a position. But to whoever came up with that saying: You must of been drunk off your ass to have made such a stupid saying. I had to come up with something to say to her, what was I thinking of saying just now?.. Hold on. I got it!.

"Hold on, why don't you take a different approach?. There's always a different option, one that is sure to stir things with Haruhi" I continued.

"Oh?" She waited for my response. This must be the reason why my head is still intact with my body.

"Haruhi has taken a liking to me, kind of like a bond. What if I dated another girl?. What would be her reaction?" I answered with Asakura letting go of her grip. ".. and what if she saw me kiss another girl?. What if she saw me hold hands with someone else?, eat lunch or even skip the SOS Brigade meetings?. Surely all these will bring significant changes within her surroundings.. Its not just going to be one change if I die which might surely fail.. If I'm alive, you could see all these changes. Doesn't that peak your interest?" Damn I hope this works, if it doesn't, I'm screwed.

"Strange, the thought never crossed me" She said with a giggle with my body regaining its mobility and the classroom slowly regenerating back to its former self, like if I just said the magic word in some lottery show.

"I'll do what you suggested instead. I'm confident that your information may be correct" She said positively.

"It will" I had to lie, but what's next?, what if this fails?.

She turned and made her way towards the door. "If this fails for any reason, then I'll just stick to my original plan and kill you instead. I'm expecting fundamental changes within the week. Well then, bye" She waved before sliding the door closed, leaving me in the room alone.

My legs gave up as I fell on my butt while releasing a loud sigh. I started to recall everything that just happened a few minutes ago. But thinking about it became more of a headache.. How am I supposed to find a girl apart from Haruhi to build a relationship with in less then a week?. I'm not really the charming type that's for sure, nor was I blessed with great looks..

The door opened and to my surprise it was Nagato who seemed to have ran towards the classroom but didn't looked tired at the least. Now that I remember, she told me something about these Humanoid Interfaces that were sent here on earth to monitor Haruhi..

Nagato stared at me for a moment before closing the sliding door. I'm assuming that she came here for a reason and not because she forgot something. I wanted to ask her some questions but I'm too scared to socialize with anyone at the moment. After a few deep breaths I regained my composure and decided to go home to think things through once I arrived in a more peaceful setting.

I got home and took a shower before crashing in my bed. I decided to skip dinner, I just didn't have it in me to eat anything at the moment, instead I just hit the sack and fell asleep. I'm sure this is just a cruel dream I'm having. Everything will be back to normal the next morning..

The next morning. The same routine as usual. I made it to class with Haruhi scribbling on a piece of paper which she hid when I tried to take a peek. I sat down while I waited for class to start. The sun was young and the gentle morning breeze give me a peace of mind. Hey, this day might not be so bad after all.

"Good Morning, Kyon!"

"Morn-" I almost chocked to see Ryoko standing next to me. The memories of yesterday evening suddenly struck me like a bulldozer hitting me at a hundred and ten miles.

"What's the matter honey?" She closed in on me and sat on my lap while putting her arms around me with my body freezing with her warm body heating my own like a furnace.

"Are you not feeling alright?, do you want me to nurse you back to health?" She said as she planted a kiss on my forehead.

Everyone on the class was just as surprised as I was with their mouths dropped like if they had witnessed some cruel and unusual event, especially Taniguchi.. No, I can tell that his anger for me burned.. like the fire of that round thing in space.. Crap I suddenly forgot what it was. The sun, now I remember.. Wait is this really the time to engage in inner conflict?. I have to clear things out before a certain someone starts to..

"Are you and Kyon going out?!" One of Asakura's friends asked, but before I could deny it, she quickly responded with a "Yes!. We started going out over a week ago actually but we were keeping our relationship a secret" She moved in to press her body against me with a passionate hug that was making me feel dizzy. ".. But I can't hold back any longer, you have to overcome your timid side, Kyon"

"Uh.. Okay" I couldn't say anything else but to go along with her.. But there was a price for this because I swear I could feel Haruhi's murderous intent wrapping around my neck like a snake ready to strike me with its venomous fangs. I couldn't tell what Haruhi was thinking right now, but seeing Ryoko's satisfied expression, I had a perfect idea.

A long and arduous struggle was just ahead.. But why do I get the feeling that things will get even more complicated then they are now?. On top of that, does that mean that I'm officially Ryoko's.. Asakura's boyfriend?. How can I go out with someone who just tried to kill me the other day?, not only that but now I will live with the constant fear of being killed if she's not satisfied with any results she's expecting..

To be continued...

More Notes: I'm planning on continuing this story for at least ten or so chapters. I won't make any promises so updates might take a while for those who are interested in this story. I'm just going to go on my own pace and write when I have the time. I'm currently busy playing Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank Future: A crack in time, fun games. I also have my own commitments so as you can see it won't be easy. I do however want to get this off my chest since its been bugging me for a while so finishing this as soon as possible will be a relief for me.
