Mukuro: Wow, it's been a while since I wrote for the Haruhi section. Well, this is my second Haruhi Halloween story, and I hope this one goes over better!

Halloween with the Brigade 2

Chapter 1: A Dangerous Idea


"Kyon, you realize that Halloween is coming up, right?" Haruhi asked, looking out the window of the brigade room.

"Yes." I said, moving my rook up three spaces. "Just promise me that we won't hold another Halloween Party in my house."

"Come on now Kyon! We're not doing any of that sissy stuff anymore! That's all last years stuff!" Haruhi shouted, standing up on the brigade chief table she was sitting on.

I don't like where this is going. I moved my king back a space. That jerk is playing aggressively for once, damn it!

"This year, we're going to host a haunted house!" Haruhi shouted, smiling.

"Wh-what?" I spluttered, choking on my tea. "A haunted house?" Is she insane?

Never mind.

I glanced over at Asahina-san, who was fidgeting around. I'm glad I'm not the only one with mixed feelings about this…

I then turned to Nagato. Of course, she wasn't doing much of anything besides reading.

"Check." Koizumi said, smiling. Damn. I need to pay attention

"So, Kyon, what do you think about it?" Haruhi asked, sticking her face in front of mine. Gah! She needs to stop doing that…

"Well, um… I don't think… Um…" I glanced at Koizumi, mentally signaling him to tell her how bad of an idea it was.

"Suzumiya-san, I think that's a wonderful idea." Koizumi said, smiling. Way to leave me out to dry, you traitor. Well, it's not like I didn't expect that after all this time.

"Great! Then we're all in agreement!" Haruhi said, smiling. I might be wrong, but I don't think you and Koizumi is the equivalent of everyone.

She then stood on top of her table again, and held up her fist.

"Get ready SOS Brigade! In just seven days, we'll make the best haunted house in the world!" Haruhi proclaimed, with a beaming smile.

God help me. (rather ironic...)


"Ahahaha! Your rights Haru-chan! That's a megas great idea, nyoro!" Tsuruya-san said, walking into the brigade room. Why does Haruhi have to call her every time we do something? "And I knows the megas greatest persons to helps us with the haunteds house!"

"No, that's alright, Tsuruya-san. We don't need to bring Hiruko into this." I said.

"Hiruko? No, I wasn't talkings about Hiruko, but now that yous mentions it, that woulds be a megas great idea!" Tsuruya-san said, smiling. Damn it, Kyon, keep your damn mouth shut.

"So, who were you talking about?" Haruhi asked.

"Oh, a friends of mines, Emiri Kimidori!" Tsuruya-san said, smiling.

"How can Kimidori-san help?" Haruhi asked.

"Oh, she megas likes all those horrors movies! She collects thems by the box full!"

"Is that right?" I asked, looking Nagato.

"It is…" Nagato said, nodding, not even looking up from her novel.

"Never would have seen that coming." I said.

"I'll ask her to loans us some DVDs to watch!" Tsuruya said, laughing.

"Good idea!" Haruhi said, smiling.

"Alright, we can also find some equipment to make the stuff we need at Hirukos' Store! Kyon, you and Koizumi can go there to pick everything up." Haruhi said, turning to us.

"How exactly are we supposed to get there?" I asked. "All I have is my bike."

"Then you can use that." She then turned towards Koizumi. "Koizumi, you need to stay behind for a while so I can tell you everything we need. Kyon, you go on ahead."


"Damn it…" I muttered under my breath, walking down the long, winding hill to where my bike was parked. "It looks like it's going to rain…"

I managed to make it to the store before the rain started, only to run into… Koizumi?"

"Koizumi? What are you doing here? How'd you get here?" I asked.

"Oh, it looked like it was going to rain, so I asked Arakawa-san to drop me off." Koizumi said, smiling.

Bastard.

"Alright, Kyon! It's about time you got here!" Hiruko said, walking out of the back room. "Koizumi's been here a while."

"I realize that." I said.

"Alright, I've got everything you might need for the haunted house, as well as everything that Haruhi ordered. I've got it all packed up in the back, so when you're ready you can leave."

"Where's your assistant, that girl…?" I asked, looking around.

"Oh, she's with my other assistant, Mukurou. The two of them are collecting the rest of the stuff." Hiruko said. "They took the truck, so it'll be a while before you can leave. Browse as much as you want, though."

"Hey, how much for these eyeballs?" I asked, picking up a bag-full of squishy eyeballs.

"2000 yen." Hiruko said, smiling.

"2000 yen for these things? What, are they real?" I asked, staring at Hiruko, who turned his head the other way.

"Ugh…" I said, tossing the eyeball bag back into the box it came from. "What else you got?"

"Well, I've got some of these guts, a lot of fingers, some of those heads that pop out of the cans…" Hiruko said, rambling off the list of things the shop had.

"My guess is that they're real to." I said.

"…"

"What do you get them on the black market or something?" I asked, staring at Hiruko, who turned his head the other way.

"And we've also got a limited offer of three machetes for the price of one!" Hiruko said, picking up a machete blade.

"What's so great about this?" Koizumi asked.

"Well, look at the light reflecting off this blade." Hiruko said, holding it up. "Just one look will tell you that we use quality stee- I mean, we use fine grade plastic with several coats of wax and varnish, to give you that real blade look."

"I caught that." I said, staring at Hiruko, who turned his head the other way.

"Hey! Hiruko! I got that blood for you!" His assistant, Eve, said, walking in, carrying a large vat of red liquid.

"You have no idea how many cows I had to-" She then saw us. "I mean, you have no idea how many stores I had to go to buy all this."

"Ah, Eve. It's about time you two got here!" Hiruko said, smiling. "I was just telling our guests how I bought all the things for our store!"

"Are you sure? You know what 'the man' says about that sort of thing." Eve said.

"Uncle Hiruko!" An annoyingly high voice said. "Eve was being mean to me!" The owner of the high pitched voice walked into the store. It was a kid about the size of my sister, wearing an oversized white jacket. He also had a large floppy hat over his blonde hair, and a sad expression on his face.

"Really? What did she do?" Hiruko asked.

"She wouldn't let me drive." The boy said.

"Mukurou, you're eleven." Hiruko said.

"So? Those are just rules that 'the man' set for us." Mukurou said.

"Good point. You can drive next time. Anyways, right now, I need the two of you to load everything in the back room into the truck! We've got a great job ahead of us!"

"How much will this stuff cost?" I asked.

"Kyon, why must you always talk about money?" Koizumi asked.

"Well, in most cases it turns out I have to pay for it out of my own pocket." I said.

"No exception this time." Hiruko said, walking by with a box of random stuff. "With the amount this stuff costs it should be enough to put Mukurou through to a good college and have enough left to host a great wedding for his children."

"In other words…" I asked, trying to clarify what it was he was saying.

"In other words, your entire college fund, plus a little extra." Hiruko said, smiling.

Damn.


Mukuro: So, how is this first chapter? I hope it'll be better than the last one. I will update this story every day until halloween!

Mukuro Out.
