Introvert Kyon

I don't get people. Never have, never will. So, I fill my life with anime and video games to ignore the outside world. I long stopped caring what others have thought of me. So, why is it that this girl in our class has grabbed my shirt collar and slammed my head into her desk?

Well, I doubt completely ignoring her was helping things but still. I mean, would you randomly grab a person and slam their head into a desk. When I actually paid attention to her she yelled at me, "Kyon! Pay attention to me. Why are you avoiding me?"

Oh, that girl, Haruhi. Yeah, that eccentric chick keeps bothering me for some reason. I think she believes I'm an alien for some reason or something really ludicrous like that. Not exactly a great thing to be when you have someone like Haruhi around. What's weird is she leaves everyone else alone completely, so why do I get singled out? Is it because I refuse to conform to social expectations? I'll admit that I feel pretty alien here sometimes but still, why does she care?

I hear her say, "Reveal to me your secret Kyon, I will find out eventually. No matter where you run, or where you hide, I'll reveal your secret!"

Okay, I need to get out of here. Fortunately the bell rang, releasing me from the grasp of Haruhi. I go home, and start playing Persona 4. While I do so, I think about the dreams waiting for me. Okay, best not to think about that. I have this great game, and I can play it until dinnertime. Then, I can play it to bedtime. After sleep, I'll have to prepare myself for yet another day with Haruhi.

As predicted, I soon ate dinner. My parents didn't even look my way, I guess they were ashamed of what their child had become. Yeah, I didn't care. I had long stopped caring. But, that's not what was on my mind. What was on mind was the images of destruction when I entered the dream world. But, my thoughts fortunately flowed back to Persona 4. It's not like apocalypse will happen because I don't pay attention to the world around me.

When I finally had to go to sleep that night, I tensed up. I knew what awaited me in the dream world. But, I had to sleep regardless. I got in bed, and prepared for the inevitable. The problem was I was too tensed up. I felt every muscle in my body

tighten up, and the sweat accumulating on me. What do you expect, when you have the dreams I have.

I woke up in the same city I usually do. Everything is smoldering, and I see the girl with black wings flying above the city. Each wing is at least 3 meters long and a meter wide. She sees me and flies over. She lands in front of me. I see her, every part of her pulses with muscle. But this isn't steroid like muscle, it's completely natural and is scary for that reason. Her hair goes all the way down to between her wings. Her eyes stare into mine and they are filled with a deep rage. For some reason, I have a feeling she goes from world to world destroying all sentient life there. But then, she comes over and lightly grasps my skull. She then whispers into my ear, "Kyon, don't fear me for I'm a part of you now. Remember that. Soon, you'll also be part of me, as you are one of the few who is worthy."

Then, she carried me up. This time she held by my waist like a rag doll. Her hands grasp me tightly like she is worried about losing a toy. We fly to some sort of tower. It is at least 1000 meters tall. But, it's not made of stone and metal like the ones in real life. This one is made of flesh and blood. It even breathes. She lands on top of it, and the flesh gives a little like skin does when you push it lightly.

"Kyon, there is a reason this building is made of flesh. It can easily withstand the massive trauma. Watch." She said. Then, she pushed her foot downwards into it. The flesh didn't break, it just stretched some more, but it didn't break. She then flew off and threw a car at the building. The car bounced off it harmlessly. This was, disturbing. A building made of flesh; the only time I've seen is in trailers for Starcraft. Okay, I've seen very oddly similar stuff in Evangelion, but that's different.

She then flew back and said, "Kyon, this looks disgusting to you, but soon you'll see its beauty. Truly, nothing can conquer evolution. It will always eventually win out. I've learned how to control it and speed it up, making me a god anywhere. No one can stop me. Once I absorb the genetic data of this world, I will continue on. It took me a very long time to get here, even with a head start from a wormhole. I only got here 3 years ago and was traveling for 60 million years. I only tell you this because you need to be ready for the inevitable."

At that, I woke up, once again soaked in sweat and shaking. Unfortunately, it is morning, and I have to get ready for school. Well, at least I don't have to think about the dream. But then, I get to school, and hear that voice which signals the girl that will doom me.

"KYON! There you are, now reveal to me where you come from. Do you originate from Alpha Centauri? Or from a world much further from Earth? TELL ME!"

Instead of answering, I sprinted as hard as I could to class. Once I got there, I felt sort of safe as I slumped down in my seat. At least here she usually left me alone. Although, yesterday may prove that wrong considering she was willing to slam my head into a desk during the end of class. Soon, Haruhi came in right behind me. Yep, she sat behind me and I want to kill someone for arranging the seats this way.

While I waited for class to hurry up and end, Haruhi kept staring at me. Why is she so obsessed with me? Does she know about the dreams? No, even if she watched me at night she wouldn't know that. Well, maybe I'm just so socially awkward now that I interest people like Haruhi. Does that mean if I become more social she would leave me alone? Better yet, maybe if I talked to her like a normal person, she would become convinced I'm just a normal person. Nah, she would probably just use it as a way to physically abuse me more or something.

When class ended, she once again grabbed me. She then dragged me out of the classroom and to a stairwell. Okay, is she going to rob my lunch money now or something? Then, she said, "Kyon, join my club. I haven't formed it yet, but when I do I expect you to arrive there. If you don't arrive, I'll kidnap you from your home and leave you naked in front of the school for all to see the alien you truly are."

Okay, that doesn't really give me much of a choice does it? Well, I guess I'll at least have some warning when she 'recruits' me later. I turned to leave only to get grabbed again by Haruhi who then said, "I'll be waiting for you after school, don't be late."

After that, she let me go. I did come after school and found her smiling in class waiting. Then, she dragged me all the way to this clubroom full of books. She explained that while the literature club supposedly had it, they had so few members now that she could have it without much fuss. The girl reading in the back of the room, she had no complaints apparently. Well, not that I can totally blame her, knowing Haruhi and all. It is not exactly easy to say no to someone like that.

After that, life went on in a very strange kind of clockwork way. After school, I would get dragged to the clubroom where I would see more things every day. She also later kidnapped a chick to get a mascot and got a "mysterious transfer student" to fill out the club. Yuki, the chick who sat in the back of the room, had no problem being recruited because she apparently basically came with the room like some kind of accessory. Mikuru, who seriously looks and acts like a moe character, got bullied into joining the club.

So, life went by in a way that was more and more annoying to me. Haruhi would never leave me alone, even constantly invading my house to spy on me or drag me off for club activities. My parents never stopped her, they thought she was the only friend I had at school and therefore would basically allow her to get away with murder if they thought it was improving my social status. If they only knew the truth about Haruhi, but since they think everything I say is a lie to allow for more solitude, they don't listen to me about Haruhi. Well, this is bad, but at least its not as bad as the dreams, which are strangely absent of late for some reason. Lets hope it continues? Nah, I would take dreams over Haruhi any day. I mean, what's the worse thing that could come from a mere dream?
