A/N: I honestly don't know what possessed me to start writing this one but the idea came to me I just couldn't pass it up. I guess if I had to blame anyone I would blame the Haruhi Suzumiya box set that I have. I got the urge to watch it one day and then I got to thinking what would it be like if Kyon had a conversation with the real God and was given a mission by God himself. I mean really that would have to be a very interesting conversation and what kind of mission would God give him anyways, I mean it's a real head scratcher. And the more I thought about it the more I started thinking that, hey this would make good fanfic and of course whenever I started thinking that I was on the episode where Ryoko Asakura tried to kill Kyon. And then I started thinking I wonder if there's any fanfic's involving those two so I looked it up and I'm sad to say that I was severely disappointed in the low number of hits that actually came up and the ones that did come up were either too short or they just weren't really that good. I mean I may be the only one who actually sees the potential that this pairing has (and I know I am not) but I would at least like to see someone run with it so I decided that I was going to be the guy who runs with it. Whether it sucks or not I have a strong desire to write this fic now (despite the fact that I'm still trying to write one up in the games section) but I would like to see if I can get anywhere with this as well as see what everybody else thinks. So in case you haven't figured it out yet the pairing for this fic is going to be KyonXRyoko so please don't bite my head off about this truth be told I'm not a big fan of Haruhi's character or the fact that Kyon practically has no free will whatsoever when it comes to dealing with her because his choices could likely end up destroying the world. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion on this site and I just don't like the spoiled, selfish, self-centered, little bitch I mean I was practically cheering Kyon on when the SOS brigade was filming their movie for the culture Festival I was practically begging in front of the screen for him to smack her but I think that's enough ranting for now let's get this ball rolling.
Chapter 1: I am God
It doesn't matter who you are the fact is everybody at least once in their life wishes they can go back in time and undo something from their past whether it was words spoken or actions taken it's pretty much in human nature for us to wonder what could have been versus what is. And I am no exception I'm pretty sure I've said this at least once before, maybe even twice but if you had told me a year ago that once I got into high school that I would be constantly hanging out on a daily basis with an alien, a time traveler, an Esper, and in over eccentric girl with godlike powers that she is completely unaware of. As well as the fact that I would have to be working with said alien, Esper, and time traveler, in a pathetic attempt to keep said girl with godlike powers from finding out about her powers or risk having the world utterly destroyed or worse I probably would've laughed in your face. The problem with that now is that you do one year too late because now I am currently living in a rotating headache of spiraling proportions. It's almost like every day I find myself in a new situation to keep a completely unsatisfiable girl satisfied with the world around her but each attempt is becoming harder and harder even my supernatural partners in crime are starting to believe even my words can't satisfy her anymore. They all seem to be under the false impression that I'm going to be falling madly in love with this girl, and maybe I would've a long time ago but I honestly can't even see that happening in my imagination not any more at least. So the only thing we can do is sit back and watch as the world slowly gets rewritten to fit the needs of a girl who is not satisfied by anything. We must've been going along like that for about a week until fate decides to throw me a completely different curveball and nail me right in the face. Because I can guarantee you that if somebody walked up to me the other day and told me that I will be sitting in a café that the SOS brigade frequently visits drinking tea with the one and only God himself, that's right I said God as in the Christianity version of God straight from the big book of divine beings I probably more than likely would've laughed in your face I mean I thought I always knew who God was I mean I was practically babysitting her. Despite the fact that I don't necessarily believe she is God but that doesn't change the fact that sitting right in front of me ever so calmly sipping from his teacup was the real God I mean he doesn't look like what you'd imagine God to look like I really looks more like a homeless man in desperate need for a bath and shave. At first I didn't believe him but whenever he started telling me things about myself that nobody else could possibly know it's not like I could argue I mean it's not like my life is already filled to the brim with enough weirdness as it is but when the God of a religion that you don't entirely believe in appears before you. You begin to go through a minor culture shock and a bit of a hyperventilating spell.
30 min. ago a random street
Kyon is walking home after a very long brigade meeting.
Damn that Haruhi if it's not one thing with her it's another if she wants something exciting to happen then maybe she should stop being so unrealistic about things. I mean it's not like walking around the town as many times as we done it has ever yielded any results, but now she's saying that she wants us to spend what little free time she allows us to have to find strange and interesting things for the brigade to investigate. There's just no pleasing that girl maybe I'll play sick tomorrow and not come to school for the next few days that will probably give her time to calm down….on second thought she'll probably just come after me regardless. Go figure I'm not even safe in my own home.
Kyon hears a commotion down an alleyway and turns to see some guys beating on an old man.
"Hey where you think you're doing?! Leave him alone!"
Kyon runs down the alley, the guys beating on the old man see him and run the other way.
"Damn punks who do they think they are picking on someone who can't fight them off?"
Kyon turns to the old man and helps him up.
"Hey mister you going to be okay I can take you to the hospital if you want?"
The old man looks at Kyon with kind eyes.
"No I'm all right Kyon that little squabble was only for the sake of appearances. You are indeed a truly good person to come to my aid so quickly despite being outnumbered and outsized I always did like that about your particular design, you're always willing to help even if you do complain a lot in the process. But you never hesitate to jump in when you know something is wrong and needs to be righted."
Kyon looks at the old man with a raised eyebrow.
"Well I'm not really that nice a guy and what was I supposed to do just let them keep beating on… wait a minute… how do you know that name? Only my friends know my nickname and call me that despite how much I hate it and how do you know about me and what did you mean by my particular design?"
The old man just smiles back at Kyon.
"Well I'm supposed to know everything about you Kyon I am the one that created you after all… however I will say that maybe I was a bit hasty when I suggested your name to your parents it really doesn't suit you."
Kyon was now staring at the old man as if he had grown a second head.
"Who… who are you?"
The old man gestures to himself as if presenting himself to an audience.
"I am God"
Back at the cafe present time.
And that ladies and gentlemen is how I found myself here, when he told me he was God I could've sworn I heard the world shatter but that was just the sound of my reason completely shattering and going straight down the drain. I wasn't even aware that I had any more reason left I was so positive the SOS brigade had drained it all from me completely but I was wrong and this man sitting in front of me claiming to be God of all people….or divine beings whatever you want to call it was the reason for it. After he told me he was God of course I would want proof to see if she was telling the truth so when he told me the exact date, time, and place I develop my fetish for pony tails I had no other choice but to believe him because that was a little something that I share with no one except for Haruhi but she thought that was a dream anyway so I was in the clear with that one. But I was still no closer to breaking the awkward silence between me and this old man he was the one who suggested that we come here he said it might help me relax a little bit but so far the only thing I've been doing is staring stupidly down at my cup of tea. I mean how do you start a conversation with God what do you ask him, what is the meaning of life?….na to cliché besides I'm sure he gets that a lot and there's no real guarantee that he will actually answer me.
God sips his tea and looks at Kyon.
"Relax Kyon I'm not going to bite you I just want to have a little chat."
Kyon looks up from his tea.
"Sorry but it's not every day that you just sit down and talk with God so forgive me if I seem a little…on edge... Yeah that sounds about right...on edge."
God chuckles.
"ha ha this coming from the young man who spends his days in the company of an alien, an Esper, a time traveler, and a semi-divine being whose powers are quite similar to my own but I guess I can see where you're coming from I very rarely talk to people in this world anymore….. Well…not directly anyway."
"If you understand why I feel nervous about this then why haven't you made an attempt to make me feel more comfortable?"
God smiles halfheartedly at Kyon
"I don't see why I should I would like to think that I'm pretty easy to talk to"
"Well yeah but..."
Kyon fidgets nervously
"I don't exactly follow the religion that you're based on, I feel like a scientist at a court trial who's been accused of being a heretic, with the jury and judge who are all religious fanatics. For all I know you could probably smite me down right here any second if the stories I've heard about you are true."
God laughs softly at kyon's example.
"That's quite an accurate statement but I assure you I'm not going to smite you I haven't done anything like that a long time. And I would like to think that I'm on good terms with Buddha we play golf every Wednesday but like I said I'm only here to talk and nothing more after this if things go will we may never meet again until your time for judgment comes, which is quite a ways away I can assure you."
Kyon was trying desperately to ignore that comment about Buddha and the comment about his day of judgment so instead decided to get straight to the point.
"Well I'm glad to see you have a sense of humor at least but if you know as much about me as you claim, then you should also know that I get a very big headache when I deal with situations like this so I have to ask what is it exactly you want to talk about."
God looks at Kyon quietly while he silently sips his tea as if you were contemplating his next response with a small sigh he sipped his tea cup down and look at kyon with a gentle expression.
"Tell me Kyon…. How is Haruhi doing these days?"
Kyon narrows his eyes
"Shouldn't you already know that she's even more eccentric than usual and frankly it's starting to drive me nuts? Why would you ask me about something that you should already know the answer to?"
"Because I want to hear it from you and now that I have I must say that is too bad now that I know I'm not the only one who sees this as a true problem. I may be forced to take action sooner than I expected but I guess it couldn't be helped given the type of person that she is it was only a matter of time."
"What do you mean…? Are you saying you expected this to happen….that sooner or later she would just give up on the world altogether?"
"Well that's only half of it truth be told I never expected that I would have to intervene in this personally so soon…. Honestly…. The girl has done nothing but baffle me since the day I created her. I give her every single scenario in order to satisfy her and to assure her that there are something's in this universe that are worth keeping it the same for but it seems she wants more. This girl is so troublesome but I find that to be one of her charming points."
"I don't think I'd use the word charming….annoying sounds more appropriate."
"Well that's the beauty of the human race everyone has their own opinion about certain things. But it also brings me to the reason why I called you here today Kyon."
Kyon straightens himself up at that statement
"So there is a reason why you're talking with me if that's so then what do you need I mean I honestly don't know what I could do to be of any assistance to the God Almighty but I'll do what I can."
"Well I'm glad to hear that but weather you do this is your choice alone which is why I will only ask for a yes or no."
God closes his eyes for a moment and takes a deep breath while he exhaled slowly he opens his eyes again and looks directly into Kyon's.
"Kyon I want you to be the new Adam of this world."
"…..hu?"
Kyon stares at God with his mouth agape.
"The last hope for humanity, the harbinger of the future of your own race, the first male in a new species to inhabit the world, a new beginning when faced with an uncertain end, Adam the first, and I want you to be him Kyon."
Kyon sat there taking in all the words and their confusing glory.
"I'm sorry but I don't think you heard me the first time so I'll say it again….hu?"
God leaned back in his seat and stroked his bearded chin thoughtfully.
"Well I think it might be better if I explained the current situation at least that way you might better understand exactly what it is I'm asking you."
Yes please do by all means I don't think the situation can get anymore more confusing than it already is.
"Well I guess I'll start from the beginning it all started sometime after the first Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden of Eden that I had created for them my first true experiment with life forms much more capable of free thought than anything else than I had ever created. And to test whether or not my experiment will be a failure or a success I gave them both one simple order the order in which both of them failed to follow Eve was the first to disobey and soon tempted Adam himself in all my rage at their disobedience I quickly had them removed from Eden. It was not until later after I had cast them out that I learned that my son was responsible for tempting Eve the way he did with this knowledge in hand I realized what I had created, individuals with the power to choose to obey or disobey I have given my newest and greatest creation the power of free will my greatest success was also my greatest failure."
Kyon listened to God's words intently not understanding what he was getting at but listened none the less.
"Free will was your greatest success and your greatest failure? I guess I can see why with mankind's ability to choose what they want to do and what they don't want to do it pretty much assures that there are people out there who are going to make bad choices as well as people who were going to make good ones. But I don't think it should be considered a failure if anything we learn from our mistakes and those of future generations learn from them as well if anything it's a learning process. We learn from others mistakes so we would know not to repeat them."
"Which is why it is my greatest success but also my greatest failure with the power to choose mankind can easily make the right choice but there are others out there who will just as easily make the wrong choice this causes the world to be filled with strife as well as hope I have watched from a distance since the beginning as my greatest creation did things to help move itself along but at the same time do things that end up causing pain and suffering to others, and sometimes even themselves. It got so bad at one point I feared for the safety of their souls and I knew something needed to be done to save them I believe you already know the story."
I couldn't do anything except nod my head that last statement I don't think there was anyone in the world who didn't know the story of Jesus Christ even if you didn't exactly follow the religion it still wasn't the type of story that one could forget easily even if you did just hear it once.
"But this is not about the past this is about the future after I cast Adam and Eve out of Eden I made contact with my son from within his prison he willingly admitted that he was the one who tempted Eve who in turn tempted Adam. He said it was to show me that he was not the only one of my creations, of my children who could willingly disobey me as much as it pained me to admit it I knew he was right it was at that time he made a wager with me a small deal which even now I regret ever making. The deal was that when mankind reached a certain stage in evolution in which the numbers were great, and their advancements in technology were minimal that I would designate one human every generation to possess a portion of my power this human would go through it's life unaware of its abilities and every now and again would make ever so slight changes to the world around it and when it died the power which I granted it will be moved on to the next successor to where the process would be repeated again. The deal was quite simple if the human who was granted a portion of my powers were to ever change the world so greatly that it would not only re-create the world as a whole, but the very fabric of space and time itself. If the chosen human ever did this it would signify that the world that I had created for all the races of the universe was imperfect and if this was ever proven my son would be released from his prison and allowed to return to the heavens as if on parole for good behavior. That is not something I can allow not while I can still do something about the current situation."
To say I was shocked about this new revelation would probably be an understatement I couldn't believe what I was hearing that Haruhi and her unusual powers were the result of a deal made between God and the devil and if what he's saying is true then that means…. The devil was close to winning this bet but still I had to ask that question.
"Wait a minute is it really a bad thing for your son returned to his place in heaven I mean yes the world would be re-created but if all he wants is to return to his place in heaven is it really such a bad thing I mean it doesn't sound that way it's not like he's asking the rule universe or anything."
"No…. Not directly anyways….he knows the repercussions of what would happen if I was proven wrong he knows that me as God being proven wrong cannot happen. Because if I was ever to be proven wrong my very existence would cease to be I am the one who created this universe and all others like it my word is always right my decisions always just if I were to be proven wrong my existence my power would cease to be. This in turn would give my son the opening that he is looking for no other that was ever created in the realm of heaven has ever matched his power it took four of his five brothers just to bring him down during his rebellion in heaven and even then he still had so much power left I fear that if I were not there even now there would be no one to challenge him without my voice to back Michael or his brothers power they will not defeat him a second time. And besides…..He is still in trouble for his rebellion in heaven to begin with his punishment is to rule over hell as its jailer I am still his father after all I must see to it that he's punished properly."
Being put in charge of hell as punishment? I guess I can see how that could be considered a punishment makes me glad I wasn't born an angel.
"Okay I get that much so you can be proven wrong or otherwise your existence will cease to be the very fabric of the universe would cave on itself. But so far there have been lots of situations in which Haruhi has almost change the universe and you haven't stepped in to stop them so why come here now?"
"All those other times I knew that you and your friends could stop her bring her back down to reality despite the fact that she has ability's similar to my own she is still a young girl with rationality in her mind she has a good sense of what things should be like, versus what things can be like. She knows that there is no way that ,aliens ,time travelers ,and Espers can't exist it's just not rational but that doesn't stop her from wanting them to exist which is why they do…unbeknownst to her course."
"Hold on right there, these things only exists because of Haruhi she wished for them to exist three years ago and when she did they all came into existence so in a way you've already lost the bet because she changes the world."
"Yes she changed it but it is only a minor change because the things that she has brought into this world are not beyond the scope of reality. Time travelers for instance who's to say that somewhere along the line that human beings will not come up with a way to travel back and forward through time? You've already seen it yourself that theory that Haruhi created the one that the boy who lives next to her took a look at, it is more than likely that he is the one who created the form of time travel that the current time travelers you associate yourself with are using. Then there's the Espers the abilities they possess are limited now but who's to say that somewhere down the line human beings will not evolve to the point to where they themselves possess such abilities? Or that every human in the world right now may have these abilities but they just don't possess the potential to unlock them. Or even aliens who's to say that my experiment stopped with the creation of the human race itself? Maybe I created thousands of Adam's and Eve's, each one a different type of humanoid species who in turn are located on different planets that could support life throughout the solar systems and in every galaxy across every dimension, in every universe. So you see the things she's asked for are not beyond the scope of reality because the reality of it all is that each of these things truly does exist but the human race that exist here on this planet right now does not currently perceive any of them as reality because there is no true evidence to support that any of them exist at least to public knowledge so there's nothing solid here to support the claim that they do exist."
"Okay I guess I can see were you are coming from it's not that big of a change because she hasn't drastically changed the world beyond the scope of what is real and what isn't. But your God shouldn't you already know that these things exist or the fact that they will exist at some point. Why are you talking like you don't know for certain?"
God tilts his head to the side in a confused manner.
"What are you talking about I'm just an old man if I start talking about how ,aliens ,Esper's, and time travelers are real people will start thinking that I'm going senile."
"Please don't joke like that when your joke doesn't sound like a joke especially with that face."
Kyon face-palms
"Alright I get it you're not at liberty to say exactly what is real and what isn't to me you're just the messenger at this point. But I don't see what any of this has to do with Haruhi or myself couldn't you just stop her from changing the universe if we are not able to."
"I could but there will be no point in doing so besides….I cannot directly interfere with her….being God I am freely able to manipulate anything I desire around me….but there is one thing that I have no power over and that is free will."
Kyon eyes widened slightly for second but then a narrow grin appeared on his face as a sudden realization dawned on him.
"Your greatest success and your greatest failure, you can't directly interfere because in the end it's still Haruhi's decision. It's not like you can just tell her to make a certain decision because the moment she finds out she has these abilities she more than likely will change the world. And if I know her as well as I think I do she wouldn't listen anyways even if the universe is at stake. But I still don't see what this has to do with me... Wait… don't tell you what me to take one for the team and convince her somehow that this universe is worth living in without changing anything and the only way to do that is to…. Start…seeing her... Am I right?"
I cringed a bit that last part I was almost certain I was on my way to being ordered by an all-powerful God to walk into a relationship and pretend that I love someone that I really don't just for the sake of the universe…. While I was willing to make that kind of sacrifice if it meant the safety of the universe I was actually quite surprised when God started chuckling just a little bit….now I was really confused.
"I'm not going to ask you to do something you don't want to do Kyon what I have in mind is something a bit more simple and in a way if this plan works it will keep Haruhi from trying to change the universe in the future. And if this all plays out as well as I think it will, it will also give you back your free will…. Well I mean you already have free will you just simply can't exercise it right now because your decisions will probably anger her enough to change reality."
"Okay I'm listening what exactly is it you want me to do?"
To say I was anxious was probably incorrect when he mentioned that I would be able to make decisions on my own again without invoking the wrath of Haruhi I practically wanted to pounce on the opportunity.
"As I said I want you to be the new Adam."
There it was again that phrase I didn't understand so I think I'll just use the wording that I used before.
"…..hu?"
"Ha ha let me explain when I'm asking you to be the new Adam I'm asking you to take on his role. When I created Adam I taught him everything he needed to know about Eden, about survival, about living, his nature, as well as what responsibilities were expected of him and then I created Eve and when I presented her to Adam I told him it would be his responsibility to teach her just as I had taught him."
"Wait hold on are you telling me you're going to be sending an Eve to this world just so I can teach her things about this world?"
"Of course not….you're going to choose your own Eve."
"What...Hold up a minute I don't understand I'm going to choose my own Eve? How exactly does that work do I just grab some random girl on the street and say hey how would you like to learn things about the world that you already know?"
"Of course not….not Just any random woman will do to fit the part of Eve Kyon. When I created Eve she knew nothing, she understood nothing, she was nothing, the only thing in her world when she was born was myself and Adam she knew me as her father, and Adam as her lover but she did not understand the concept behind those two phrases. She was just like Adam when he was first created but he had me there to guide him to teach him and when I made Eve I wanted to give Adam the chance to teach, to guide her to show her and soon the more she learned the more emotion she expressed, the more she understood the feelings inside of her, the more human she became. So you see Kyon your Eve can't be just some random woman….no this woman needs to be a clean slate she needs to know nothing of the world around her someone who understands little about what she interacts with someone you can teach."
"I still don't quite understand there's not really a woman like that anywhere in the world I mean what kind of woman is there in the world that doesn't understand the things that are going on around her you know besides to women they lock up in the asylums. Can such a human woman even exist it seems highly unlikely."
"Whoever said she had to be a human?" God turned his head toward a table across the café and nods to kyon at the waitress taking the orders of the customers. "I am sure you are familiar with Ms. Kimidori's nature?"
Across the café Ms. Kimidori one of the humanoid interfaces that was sent to Earth to study Haruhi was taking the orders of some of the customers within the café I almost forgot that she has a part-time job working here she can be so easy to miss if you're not paying attention.
"Yeah I know what she is but I don't get where you're going with this I mean it's not like she doesn't have any clue as to how this world works the same goes for the others like her."
God just sits there staring whimsically her as if passing a calculating gaze across her very features studying any flaws that she may have.
"When I first came to the knowledge that the entities that exist throughout universes were now capable of creating individual humanoid creatures to interact with other humanoid creatures that I myself had created I was rather stunned. I didn't think that any creature in the universe would be able to crack my code on the make and design of humanoid beings so easily but when I first came into contact with one. I immediately realized that they were not perfect I discovered that the entities are capable of replicating the body and over time they may be able to replicate the mind but there's still something within them that cannot be so easily replicated. No matter how much you may study or theorize the entities that exist in this universe cannot create a soul the one thing that matters most when it comes to human beings. That young lady may be able to mimic and play the part of a young girl but I can almost guarantee you that she doesn't understand the actions she needs to take order maintain conversation with normal humans or the words she needs to say order to satisfy the people around her. These are things she cannot understand emotions are also included in this she can mimic the emotions of others but she understands nothing about what it means to possess them or the feelings that come with them. The same can be said for Ms. Nagato she may not understand her emotions especially now that they've begun to emerge but when she re-created an alternate universe in which you could live a normal life, in which she could be a normal girl she did it because of certain emotions that she did not understand but acted accordingly. This only proves that given time the humanoid interfaces can come to understand the emotions and feelings which gives rise to the one thing that their creators could not give them they in turn are the makers of their own souls."
"So you want me to teach her about the world…. Or Nagato…or do I have to find some other humanoid interface?"
"No Ms. Kimidori and Ms. Nagato already are well on their way to discovering their own souls you need to find another one who is still very much a clean slate do not fret the opportunity will present itself soon enough, of this I can assure you thou whether or not you choose to take the chance is entirely up to you it is your choice to make and I can't tell you otherwise."
"But I don't see how teaching at humanoid interface about the world around it is going to help solve the problem with Haruhi or anyone's for that matter just how does this help? How is this going to keep her from re-created the universe? If things continue with her as they are now it's more than likely she'll rewrite the universe in the next few days maybe much sooner."
"This is true but if you take the chance when it is presented to you then the inevitable will be avoided it will draw Haruhi's attention long enough for her to focus on something else besides wanting a world that is more interesting than the one currently presented to her. Things will get difficult I will admit but always remember that when the storm is completely weathered there's always a bright sky at the end of it but like I said before Kyon this is your choice and your choice alone to make and throughout this whole journey of yours you will be forced to make more decisions that will affect the outcome of the world as we know it. But also be warned that I am not the only one who's taking action in this, my son and his agents are also on the move and will do whatever they can to ensure that Haruhi changes the universe they will offer you unbelievable things great things but also know that they are nothing but liars they will say and do anything to succeed. Even those you would call your allies and those that you would call your friends will eventually receive orders from those that they work for to work on their behalf, their greed will overshadow them forcing them to tell your so-called friends and comrades to do what some would consider unthinkable if it meant they themselves will gain from it all. You must endure you must keep yourself from becoming their puppet in the end it is your free will that is on the line I do not wish to see that taken from you."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing God himself was telling me that once again the fate of the universe is in my hands but this time was much more serious because forces I could never hope to comprehend were behind-the-scenes operating in the shadows and even influencing the organizations that my friends in the SOS brigade worked with if what he says is true that sooner or later they would all eventually be my enemies I didn't want to think about it but then I remembered something that Koizumi once told me. About how it wasn't really a coincidence that Ms. Asahina was made into a part of our group, about how her organization chose her specifically because of her looks and personality about how they knew that I would fall for her. I also remember how Ms. Asahina told me that I shouldn't completely trust Koizumi she might have tried to word it differently but I knew what she meant. Suddenly a lot of things started to make more sense I wasn't just the person who could pull Haruhi's strings now I too was a puppet to them. And I'm willing to bet that these organizations are trying to put in their own puppet master to pull my strings and now I was hearing things were going to get a lot more complicated.
"I see but will it be directly or indirectly will I see it coming or will I not see it at all? If you wear a look at it both are quite terrifying in their own right I mean what's to stop them just simply from destroying me and replacing me with some look-alike I'm pretty sure a good portion of these organizations could do that."
While in the midst of their conversation Ms. Kimidori comes by and picks up their empty glasses when she reaches for God's cup he gently grabs her wrist, he gently pulled her down to sit on one of his legs just as a child would when they would sit on Santa clause's lap. She seems confused for a moment then sets down her tray while indulging the old man, God begins to study her more closely, now anyone in the café would've seen this is awkward but for some reason they didn't seem to notice.
"You see how she doesn't fight, how she willfully just accepts what's in front of her? She has no idea who I am and is completely willing to experiment on the situation around her. She has no free will she has no understanding of the situation so she takes the chance to study it in the hopes that she will gain a better understanding of it."
God then pinches her cheek and starts to stretch it out he gauges her reaction only to let go. He next cup's her chin turning her head side to side as he gazes into her eyes he seems somehow sad when he looks at them as if he is pitting the creature sitting in his lap.
"When I look at being's like her I immediately realize that I made the right choice in creating free will. Because if I had not the result would've been this, a lifeless doll incapable of feeling anything one that needs to learn from her surroundings often mistaking certain situations. A normal woman would've fought back but I guess in some ways she can tell that I'm not normal or either she feels no hostility coming from me. But in her eye's she knows that I am not human and thus forth does not know how to gauge me….. In a way I can only feel pity for her because it will take a very long time for her to be able to create her own soul."
God hugs kimidori as if she were the one who needed a hug he then sits her down beside him on the bench and gently starts to stroke her hair, she doesn't react. But yet for some reason she seems relaxed.
"Okay now that's just creepy you look like a dirty old man trying to pick up an underage teen at her job you do realize this is not that kind of establishment right?"
"Those are not the thoughts running through my mind Kyon though she is not my child I still feel some sense of attachment to her because it was my design that was copied in her creation in a way I feel like I am looking at a failed experiment that I could not save. But the point I was trying to make is that even if they did destroys you even without Haruhi knowing and somehow managed to replace you with a decent copy she would eventually find out eventually that copy will make a mistake. Such as answering questions that she would normally ask you and you don't answer them in the same way that you usually would she would begin to suspect something, even if a humanoid interface was created to look exactly like you and his personality was copied to be exactly like yours, its behavior, it's wording all of it perfect but still it would not possessed your soul it would be reflected by its own actions. Humanoid interfaces are creatures of probability their thinking is strictly based on a percentage algorithm were the human mind is not and yes some interfaces may face inevitable danger and risk harm to themselves if the need is necessary and some may even show signs of acting out their own free will you yourself have already seen several examples of this in but these only present themselves if the interfaces have been in this world for extended periods of time where they have developed emotional attachment or sense of self within this world. Your interface will not be able to stay in this world very long without Haruhi noticing something that in itself will not last long. So in other words Koizumi's words to you were correct there are replacements for himself, Ms. Nagato, and Ms. Asahina but there is no substitute for you, you cannot be replaced the organizations know this so eliminating you from the picture is not an option the risk is too great, and the repercussions even greater."
When God had finished talking Kyon noticed that Ms. Kimidori was no longer leaning against him instead she was leaning against Kyon this almost surprised him to the point where he nearly jumped but made no sudden movements because she was fast asleep. But while in the midst of wondering how she got there God began to stand up from his seat and it was when Kyon noticed that it was raining quite heavily outside there was no lightning just a heavy and gentle rain.
"Silly me…. It seems I let my emotions get the better of me again and I was so certain that I had them under control this time. All-well I'll promise sunny skies tomorrow and make sure that the weather patterns return to the normal state."
God turns to Kyon and gives him a weary smile.
"I'm very glad we had this talk Kyon if there is anything I am sure of it is that you are the right person to count on, I look forward to seeing exactly what path you choose to follow. Make your choices well my son I will be watching you and praying for your success."
God turns to leave.
Wait hold on…he's just going to leave….just like that….no way I still have questions, like how my supposed to do this, how will I be able to do this, what am I supposed to teach this Eve that I'm supposed to choose. And while I'm at it I might as well ask, what the deal was with the Crusades, the Salem witch hunts, the infinite number of religions that were out there, and you know what I think I will ask what the meaning of life is and if I don't like the answer is I'll just keep nagging him about it.
Just as Kyon was about to stand a flash of lightning blinded him for second when he could see again God's pointer finger was directly in front of Kyon's forehead the action was so sudden that Kyon didn't move a muscle.
"Now now…. It's not nice to wake of lady when she just fell asleep be a gentleman and wait there someone will come for in a moment just the patient."
With those final words God tapped Kyon's forehead with his finger causing the confused teen to sit back down. He could only sit there and watch as God made his way to the exit as soon as the doors opened Nagato was standing outside with an umbrella above her she walked in and she passed God without even a passing glance she then walked up to Kyon.
"Nagato... What are you doing here?"
"You called me here in order to retrieve Emiri Kimidori you stated over the phone that she looked tired and would probably need my assistance in getting home."
"….. I did... When?"
"Approximately 15 min. and 34 seconds ago."
Around the time that Ms. Kimidori joined us at the table apparently God knew that she was going to fall asleep but why call Nagato if I can just as easily wake her up and what is he playing at having her lean up against me. Or maybe I should ask how he did it I didn't even see her move and I'm pretty sure he didn't move…. I think well besides that.
Kyon gently shakes Ms. Kimidori in order to wake her up she stirs slightly before she is fully awake and completely aware of her surroundings she gazes at Kyon and then at Nagato she then stands and bows deeply to Kyon.
"I am very sorry to have troubled you I don't know what came over me I just felt very sleepy all of a sudden I do hope you will forgive me."
"It's no trouble at all I think it was the old man's fault mainly I don't know why but when he started stroking your hair you went out like a light."
Kimidori looked at Kyon with a confused expression. "What do you mean….there was no old man….you were the one who was stroking my hair….. And playing with my face there was no old man anywhere."
It was Kyon's turn to look confused Kimidori seem to be under the impression that he was the one who did all those things to her and she didn't really seem to mind it at all.
"Wait hold on…. Are you saying that I'm the one who did all those things to you, that I sent you in my lap, that I played with your face, that I'm the one who set you down beside me and started stroking her hair?"
"Yes you were and you were very gentle as well to be honest I was quite surprised that you would express such action so openly in public."
I don't know why God was choosing to do this to me knowing full well it would probably cause problems for me later on down the line if she decided to continue her self experimentations on me and I could name one girl in particular who wouldn't like that at all. If there's one thing that I've learned for certain about humanoid interfaces is that in experimentation with themselves upon human interaction they tend to seek results based on their own reactions….not counting the one who is currently standing beside me that I made contact with on a daily basis. But I get the feeling that if Ms. Kimidori were to be any kind of normal girl….she would be a closet deviant pervert, I don't know why I just get that vibe from her…. And it was scary.
"Well….. Let's just pretend it never happened."
Kyon turns to Nagato.
"Nagato by any chance did you happen to notice who it was you pass by on your way into the café this is important so I need you to tell me honestly."
"I passed by no one on my way in I merely stepped inside and approached you accordingly."
Kyon turns away he looks at his teacup only to notice that there is only one teacup on the table there was only ever one teacup.
I see he must really have been God then to everyone else here I was sitting alone, I was drinking alone, to them I must not have even been talking. And then there's my actions towards Ms. Kimidori she only perceived me as the only one being at this table and Nagato shows up saying I called her…. God truly does work in mysterious ways…. Either that or I'm going completely insane. I wish it was the latter but I know somewhere deep in my heart that it's the former. That is just the way my life works and it completely sucks why am I the one who gets stuck with the weird happenings of this world did I do something in a past life to deserve this if so I'll apologize for it, all of it just please let me live a normal life.
The next day at school
For once Kyon had managed to get to class before Haruhi the events of yesterday's meeting were still weighing heavily on his mind. So he sat there staring out the window at the clear skies that God promised to bring.
The opportunity will present itself he said…. What is that even supposed to mean I was unaware that God was able to give cryptic messages. I mean does he do this to the people he talked to on purpose? Or is he trying to go for this all-powerful but mysterious God kind of look? Anyway you look at it it's still annoying it's not like the opportunity itself is going to smack me write the face. And if it does I'm going to be really pissed off I don't think I can take anymore big surprises.
Kyon's attention was brought back to the realm of the living, (much to his disappointment) when Mr. Okabe walked into the classroom telling everyone to take their seats he hadn't even noticed it but everybody was already in the classroom even Haruhi had managed to somehow sneak up behind him into her own desk. But there was something about Mr. Okabe at the moment that gave Kyon a sense of dread as if he knew he wasn't going to be happy about what his homeroom teacher was going to say. So with a big grin on his face and Pep in is walk he waited for everyone to take their seat before he get on with his big announcement.
"Alright everyone listen up starting today we have a new transfer student joining us. I'm pretty sure all of you are going to be just as happy as I am about it… you can come in now."
Slowly the door to the classroom opened and walking in with with all the refined grace of a well-trained lady was the new transfer student ever so subtly you could hear everyone in the classroom gasp with excitement. And what faintly sounded like a perverted grunt coming from Taniguchi's desk, Kyon on the other hand wasn't so excited. Because the further the girl got into the room the more his face contorted into a silent scream of terror the very figure that still haunt his nightmares was back.
No way!... walking with the refined grace of an elegant lady, long slender legs, Slim perfect waste, cute tight round apple bottom that was noticeable even from under her skirt, a well-developed chest, a long slender neck, a super cute face, a beautiful smile big round eyes, long beautiful blue hair, EYEBROWS! This can't be real the creature from my nightmares has returned from her extended trip to Canada and was now once again standing her…. In the same room as me….. Why haven't I jumped out the window yet?!
"Hello there my name is Ryoko Asakura."
It speaks!
"I know it must be a surprise to see me again, but because I missed Japan and my friends here so much I managed to convince my parents to let me come back. I know I've been gone for quite a while and I may not be aware of certain things that happened with how long I've been gone but I do hope all of you will be as kind as you've always been to me and fill me in on current events. Oh and I hope we have lots of fun this year together I'm really looking forward to it. (Beaming smile of brightness!)
Lies and slander I say, burn the witch!
The whole classroom immediately erupted into cheers some of the boys were even howling like dogs and for some reason you could hear a faint weeping sound coming from Taniguchi's desk. Several of the girls seem to be swooning as well now that the girl that they idolize themselves to be like was back. Haruhi had this look on her face that simply said that she had just found the entertainment that she had been looking for. Kyon on the other hand was not very happy at all with all the cheering that was going on the only thing he can do was sit there his mouth hanging open his eyebrow twitching. Because the girl who tried to kill him and given him his first near-death experience was back then he had this strange feeling that somewhere God was laughing at him he didn't know why he just knew. But amidst the chaos of the cheering classroom Ryoko's eyes managed to find Kyon's he flinched slightly when they made eye contact. But then she gave him a wink and a small smile under normal circumstances any normal high school boy would've started blushing like mad and passed out for the sheer amount of blood they were losing from their nose. Kyon however turned white as a ghost with an expression of utter fear painted across his face he took this gesture is her saying (never be alone or I will gut you like fish).
Curse you God curse you and your subliminal messaging you're not funny not at all!
A/N: well is the first chapter I really hope I did this right I'm hoping even more than I'm able to keep the characters in character and I had to try to, with a decent conversation for Kyon to have with ….well…God is larger than I thought would be given such a cynical son of a bitch it's hard to tell whether or not he would choose his words carefully while talking to God or not. But as you can tell I was just pretty much winging it i hope it disappointed many of you but I would like to know what you guys thought read and review please.
