Hey! I would just like to say, this isn't a continuation of "The Choices". This is not entirely my idea, actually. My friend came up with the idea to combine Higurashi, Corpse Party, and Another together before me. With his permission, I borrowed the idea and threw Haruhi Suzumiya in there.

Although it doesn't have the fastest progress, you can find the original idea here: s/10664517/1/Higu-Ano-Co-Higurashi-Another-Corpse-Party

Please, enjoy my newest Haruhi Suzumiya fanfic!

Sometimes... Curses destroy everyone.

"KYON! HURRY UP!" Haruhi shouted at the top of her voice. The kind of shout that would make a Heavy Metal Band shut up.

I sighed... Today was not gonna be easy. Not when Haruhi was involved.

Where do I start?

Well, it all started when Haruhi found some Website about places that were considered haunted.

Apparently, there's a nearby town known as Hinamizawa that was destroyed back in the 80s. A swamp had released Volcanic Gas composed of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide.

According to the great Haruhi, a lot of people have reported seeing some ghost girl around the area.

And that's why we were here. To find a Ghost that probably doesn't even exist.

People call me Kyon, as you probably could already tell. I'm just one normal guy that got sucked into the supernatural madness that was known as Haruhi Suzumiya.

Why is it madness? You might ask that. Well, see, Haruhi has the power to subconsciously alter reality. And because of that, she's attracted a lot of attention from supernatural groups.

No one really knows what Haruhi is... They can't actually agree on it. But they can all agree on one thing: Haruhi finding out about her powers = bad.

Around me, the rest of the SOS Brigade was carrying camping and filming supplies. Haruhi had decided to spend Spring Break camping out inside of Hinamizawa and film the ghost girl... That's just who she was, I guess.

Let me explain the other members...

To my left was a darling girl who was supposed to be my upperclassmen but didn't look like it. She had a lolita face and a petite body and Chestnut colored hair.

Her name was Mikuru Asahina... And she's a girl who was sent from the future to observe Haruhi.

She's probably the very being of perfection, but Haruhi simply sees her as a moe type character to be a mascot for our illegal school club she liked to call the /S/aving the world by /O/verloading it with fun Haruhi /S/uzumiya Brigade. Or, SOS Brigade for short.

Behind me, the quiet girl with lightish purple hair carried a small backpack. Her face was completely emotionless and it was really hard to tell how she felt most of the time... Well, for anyone except me.

I've learned to read her quite well, actually.

Her name was Yuki Nagato, she's an Alien Interface sent by some thing named the Data Overmind. She was sent to observe –You guessed it– Haruhi.

She didn't seem like much since she was always reading or following orders, but she saved my life more times than I can count.

It's the exact opposite of your usual damsel in distress type story where the damsel saves the guy instead.

Then there are other not-so-helpful members... To my right was a tall handsome guy with the most fake smile you could ever see. He was helping me out by splitting some of the heavier load for me.

That's Itsuki Koizumi. He's and Esper sent by a group known just as "The Agency" to do what everyone else is doing... Watch Haruhi.

I didn't like him... He was too mysterious and never really showed who he was. I'm willing to tolerate him though because he explains everything and listen to my problems... No, not in a therapist like way.

And then there's me... Everyone calls my Kyon. I've pretty much given up on my real name at this point, so it's not even worth mentioning. The nickname was just a thing my Aunt came up with and my little Sister picked up on...

And ever since Haruhi learned about it, she's had the entire school use it.

I have no powers. None. I'm just your typical high schooler caught up in this mess I never asked for.

Anyways, so here we were walking to this "Hinamizawa". I wasn't really too keen on wasting my Spring Break here, but Haruhi stated we have to.

So... We have to.

I let out a heavy sigh as I walked up to pace with Haruhi.

"What do you want? This stuff isn't easy to carry, you know."

"Isn't it gonna be so cool?! We might actually get to meet a ghost!"

And my remark goes ignored...

"I guess..." I replied.

"You guess? Kyon! The SOS Brigade was made to find the Supernatural! This is our best chance yet! If we spend the entire week at this Hinamizawa place, we're bound to find something!"

"But didn't the website say it was quarantined by the Japanese Government?"

"Who cares?"

Still reckless as ever, I see.

"All that matters is that we find the ghost! Once we find her, we'll capture her and make her tell us about the Spirit Realm! Maybe we can find out if we're going to Heaven or getting reincarnated or something!"

I don't think that's how it works...

"Besides, I bet it'd be great to put her in some kind of cage and keep her as a pet!"

Dear ghost, if you're real, please take my humble advice... Run.

"Right... Can you remind me why you had us wear our School Uniforms then?" I asked.

"Because then the ghost will know that we 're just school kids messing around and not ghost hunters... She won't have any reason to be afraid of us!"

As flawed as her logic is, I gotta give her credit for thinking up some plan... Even if it doesn't make much sense.

"I'll leave you to that then..."

I slowly backed away and started walking next to Koizumi.

"Well... What do you make of this?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Kyon. I'm just following Suzumiya's orders."

"Don't give me that crap... Do you think we'll actually find a ghost?"

"What? Scared of a little horror story?" Koizumi smiled at me.

I just stared at him. He must've gotten the message.

"In all honesty... If Suzumiya believes there to be a ghost there, we might very well find one."

That's not very reassuring...

"Even if, however... I don't think Suzumiya would wish for it to harm us. So I wouldn't be too worried."

That's about as reassuring as the one guy in a Video Games who gives you a quest saying that you probably won't get hurt or that you look fit enough to handle yourself... Then you come across a nearly unbeatable boss.

Yeah, it felt like that.

Eventually, after my arms were nearly about to give out from carrying all the camera equipment, we came across a long wired fence.

I walked up to it and saw a sign stating "Entry to this area has been deemed unsafe and is strictly forbidden by the Japanese Special Defense Force. Enter at your own risk."

Of course, that sign didn't stop Haruhi from putting her camping equipment down and hopping over the fence like some parkour maniac... Which she might be for all I know.

"Come on you guys! It's completely fine!" Haruhi waved at us from the other side.

"Well..." Koizumi looked over at me. "Shall we help these find girls get over?"

Since when did you consider them fine?

Regardless, I inevitably helped Koizumi boost Asahina and Nagato over the fence. I threw the camping supplies over and turned towards the camera equipment.

"What do we do about this?"

"You hop over and I'll pass it to you."

Right... I guess that was kind of obvious.

I hopped over the fence and reached my hands up as Koizumi climbed up and passed me both boxes one by one.

Meanwhile, it didn't help that I was forced to deal with Haruhi yelling in my ear.

"KYON! DON'T DROP THAT! IF YOU BREAK IT I'LL GIVE YOU PUNISHMENT FOR TREASON AND CAPITOL OFFENSE!"

I wasn't sure dropping a Camera could be considered either, but I decided not to dig into it as Koizumi climbed over.

"Alright then! Let's go find that ghost!"

Haruhi put on her backpack full of camping equipment and started running off.

"H-huh?!" The innocent Asahina's eyes began to sparkle as she quickly picked up her backpack. "W-wait up!" She started to run like a small puppy trying to get away from the vacuum... How cute!

After a bit of walking, I eventually decided to make my way next to Nagato.

"Psst... Nagato... Remember what that website said about the Great Hinamizawa Disaster?"

Nagato didn't even look at me as she replied.

"There has been no trace of any major supplies of hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide. The oxygen levels are normal."

"So... We're not in any danger?"

"Parasitic life forms of unknown origin seem to be infecting the area. I have been eliminating them the best I can with micro-sized waves, but I will provide the proper vaccination segment once we get to the immediate destination."

"By proving vaccination... You mean biting us, right?"

"Yes."

"How will you convince Haruhi to let you bite her?"

"I won't."

"...You're just gonna do it?"

"Yes."

"That's a little out of character for you, Nagato."

"It is a necessary precaution."

Koizumi looked back at me and shrugged.

I guess that means he's up for it.

"Alright... If you think it's necessary."

"It is."

We then had a long moment of silence as Haruhi casually hummed random songs that sounded like they came from some type of anime.

I'm actually glad she was humming, because that meant she wasn't picking up the conversations I was having.

The last thing I want Haruhi to hear right now is that Nagato can read the air.

After a bit of walking, we finally came across the main area of the town... Needless to say, it was pretty terrifying.

The place was completely empty. The buildings seemed to be rotting, despite the fact that this only happened a couple decades ago.

I could see what remained of old stands catching dust along with houses that were getting overran by plants.

It was something out of a horror movie.

Haruhi set her bag down and looked at us with the weirdest freaking smile I've ever seen.

"ALRIGHT BRIGADE! We're setting camp up right here!"

"...Right here?" I asked.

"Yeah! I can't think of any better place! The ghost would definitely be hanging around all the houses!"

I'm sure the ghost is too busy hightailing it out of here to worry about hanging around.

"Oh yeah... This place is perfect!"

Haruhi went about her business as she commanded us to put the tents up. We had two tents... One for boys, and one for girls.

According to Haruhi, this was because she didn't want me peeking on them... Which I would never do, by the way.

Soon after we spent a good portion of our time here to set up camp, Haruhi stood up and wiped some sweat off of her brow.

Nagato had already taken Koizumi, Asahina, and I off to the side to give us the vaccination. Once Haruhi had finished, Nagato randomly grabbed her from behind and bit her neck.

"What the-?! Nagato! What do you think you're doing?!"

Nagato immediately backed away.

"My apologies."

I took that moment to take a look at Haruhi's neck from a distance. I could barely see two wholes in her skin but they soon healed up before Haruhi could notice.

"H-huh?" Haruhi put her hand on her neck and felt around for a moment. She soon put her hand on her hip and looked at me.

"Whatever... It doesn't matter anyways... Kyon, come with me! We're gonna go explore this place!"

"Hang on... Why me?"

"We're gonna scout out the area while Itsuki, Mikuru, and Yuki stay here and protect the camp!"

Again, she ignores me... I'll let it pass this time.

"Protect it from what, exactly?"

"The ghost!"

You might be taking this thing a little too far... Besides, I don't want to go walking around. Setting up Camp was actually kind of exhausting believe it or not.

Of course... I didn't actually say anything like that...

Instead, I was grabbed by the tie as Haruhi started to drag me away from everyone else.

Of course.

After Haruhi managed to pull me away from the group, she began to speak.

"Alright, Kyon... We gotta make sure there's no demons or aliens hiding out!"

"Why would they be here? Didn't you say it was just a ghost?"

"Yeah... But I looked up a bit about Hinamizawa before we left. There's an ancient legend that everyone here was possessed by Demons!"

"It's probably just an urban legend. Anyways, what do Aliens have to do with this?"

"Because this one Conspiracy Site said that it was an Alien Bio-terrorist attack that the Japanese Government was trying to hide!"

"I'm going to stop you right there."

Dammit... She's looking up Conspiracies again!

"Listen, Haruhi. You can't just believe everything you read on the Internet."

"Of course I don't! Only an idiot would believe everything! I'm just taking the necessary precautions to protect my Brigade!"

Well, I'm glad she has at least some common sense.

…

Inevitably, it seems that Haruhi wasn't as interested in scouting as I originally thought.

In fact, she was much more interested in going to the Onigafuchi Swamp to see where the source of the incident happened.

After much painful walking, Haruhi managed to drag me clear across the ghost town and towards where a local map pointed out where the swamp was.

"Can you believe it, Kyon?! We're about to see where the Great Hinamizawa Disaster started!"

"Don't you feel even slightly scared that the gas might kill you?"

"What? Of course not! That happened a long time ago, Kyon! I bet it's been gone for ages!"

Haruhi and I made our way through a few trees as we came across where the Swamp supposedly was.

Only one problem... There wasn't a swamp or a river or anything like that. Just a bunch of concrete.

"Dammit." Haruhi said. "They must've covered it with concrete to keep us from seeing it!"

I doubt that's why they covered it, but I didn't voice my opinion.

"Well... We better head back then. No point in keeping everyone else waiting..."

I wholeheartedly agree... The sooner I see Asahina's wonderful face the better.

So, I soon learned that Haruhi didn't want to take the same route back.

Instead, she walked alongside the "swamp" with me behind her.

It seemed as through it wasn't really a swamp... More like a large lake the filled into a nearby river.

"You know... They used to send Cotton down this river in a Festival." Haruhi spoke.

"Where'd you learn that?"

"It was in my research... Apparently, there used to be a curse where one person would disappear and another person would die during the festival..."

"Do you believe that?"

"I don't know... But I wonder if that ghost was part of it."

"Maybe."

I didn't really feel like talking... Not like there was a lot to say.

I'm not really sure whether a ghost is here or not. All I can say is that I hope Haruhi doesn't truly believe that.

Regardless, Haruhi and I managed to walk down the river. We came across what looked like stands set up for the festival... I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the Great Hinamizawa Disaster happened during or soon after the festival.

Part of the curse? Doubt it. I don't really believe in curses.

Haruhi was soon sidetracked though as she stared in the direction of a nearby forest.

"Hey... Do you see that?" She asked.

"See what?"

"I think I see some sort of building... Maybe it's a clue!"

Before I could reply, Haruhi immediately took off in that direction.

I didn't really see any building, but I'm not about to let her out of my sight, so I took off after her.

It took a good minute or two, but I soon managed to catch up with her.

Go figure... There was actually a building there.

It was small in design... Looked more like a shrine than anything.

"Let's look inside!" Haruhi said, walking up to the door.

She grabbed the knob and started pulling but with no luck.

"It's locked..."

"Well, guess your visit is busted then."

"No way! I'm gonna go grab a rock and bust the lock open! Wait here!"

Before I could give my input, she ran off.

I sighed and sat down. Well, guess I'll be here awhile.

I waited... And waited... And waited still. But after a couple minutes, Haruhi showed no signs of returning.

As I got up to go look for her, I heard a small knock behind me.

My entire body froze up as the knock continued to grow louder and louder...

I slowly turned around towards the shrine, my heart beating a rapid rate.

...The lock fell right off and the door opened before my eyes.

No. NO! I refuse to go in there! There is absolutely no way you can make me go in there!

And on that thought, I heard a crash of thunder and rain began to fall... You gotta be kidding me!

I hesitated and looked at the Shrine... Guess I should take shelter. If Haruhi asks, the lock was just rusted.

I quickly ran into the shrine, hoping to get out of the rain.

And, just as I thought, the door slammed right behind me.

I turned around to open it but luck was not on my side today because it wouldn't even budge... I was locked in darkness.

"You came..."

What the hell?!

"You saw what Hinamizawa was like..."

No! No way! I refuse to do this!

I started banging on the doors, calling for Haruhi. Once that didn't work, I called for Nagato. Still nothing.

"That won't work... Just turn around."

I hesitantly obeyed and turned around.

Upon closer inspection, I could vaguely make out what looked like tools and a statue standing right in the middle... Hang on, was the statue the one talking to me?

"I'm sorry..."

Lights turned on around me... And standing right there before my eyes was a young girl.

She looked like she was still in middle school... But, that wasn't all.

She had long purple hair and horns... That's right, horns!

I also spotted a shrine maiden outfit on her... Maybe she was the Shrine Maiden?

...No... This place is abandoned. There's not way that a young girl like her would be out here to attend a shrine.

"My name is Hanyuu Furude..." She spoke softly, her face was slightly red... I guess she was shy.

"What's with the horns?"

"Wh-what?! You can see my horns?" She grabbed her horns with both hands as tears started running down her eyes. "N-no one can see my horns!"

"Well, I can it seems. Don't worry, it's not the strangest thing I've seen."

She soon took a deep breath and exhaled before looking firmly at me.

"Like I said... My name is Hanyuu Furude! O-other people know me as O-Oyashiro-sama."

"Oyashiro-sama..."

I vaguely remembered Haruhi saying something about the god of Hinamizawa being named that.

"So that means you're like a god or something?"

"Y-yes! I am the god of Hinamizawa! B-but... Please just call me Hanyuu..."

"Alright, Hanyuu. Are you that ghost girl people have been seeing around?"

"Y-yeah..."

Well, Mystery solved. Time to go home... Please?

Unfortunately, No such luck existed quite yet.

"So... Why did you trap me in here?"

"Your friend... She's really powerful..."

Don't need to ask... That's a no-brainer.

"You mean Haruhi? She's sort of this God, Time Warp, Potential for Autoevolution thing. But... She doesn't know that. I just see her as an annoyance."

"R-right, her... You said she was a God?"

"No. I don't believe that. My crazy friend does, but not me."

"Oh... I see... So... Um..."

I crossed my arms and waited... Apparently that scared the poor girl as she whimpered with tears down her eyes...

Guess that was too threatening. I uncrossed my arms and just shoved my hands into my pockets.

"Y-you need to stop the curses..."

"Curses?"

"Yeah... There are three... The Hinamizawa Syndrome... Heavenly Host... And the curse of Class 3-3..."

As she was saying this, she was counting off her fingers.

She actually was pretty cute... In the sense that a child is cute. I wouldn't date her, like I would Asahina.

"So... You want me to stop these curses?"

"Mhm... I d-don't know why... But... I think you and your friends can fix them..."

"Why do you think that?"

"I-I've never seen anyone with so much power before!"

Right... Haruhi.

"Hang on... Besides the Hinamizawa Whatever..."

"Syndrome."

"Right... Besides that, how do you know about these other curses? And why do you want me to fix them?"

"I-I... I know about them... Because th-they're tied to the Hinamizawa Syndrome..."

"How so?"

"I-I don't know! That's what you need to find out!"

"Alright... So, how do you expect me to fix them?"

"I-I'll send you back in time!"

"Wait... Back in time?"

"Yes. You have to start in June 1983..."

Wait... Asahina said that Time Travel couldn't happen past the three year period. I voiced that.

"H-huh? Three years... That's when that thing happened!"

"Thing?"

"Y-yeah! I remember feeling this big wave of power... What happened?"

I gave her the brief explanation about Haruhi and her powers.

"O-oh! So she caused that! ...Well... Since she's come around, I-I've had more power than I ever had before... Maybe..."

"Maybe?"

"I-I think I can send you back!"

Wait... She does?

"R-right! I'll send you and your friends back to 1983! F-find my friends! You'll need them!"

"Alright... Anything else?"

"Yes... P-please don't tell them my identity."

"Fair enough."

I keep identities a secret on a daily basis anyways.

"Alright... Look into my eyes..."

I raised an eyebrow and looked at her...

Her eyes turned pitch black with a red dot acting as a pupil.

"Close your eyes..."

I complied as I got the dizzy feeling I always get when I time travel... The world around me felt like it was fading and my body felt as though it was standing in thin air.

The feeling ended quickly and I opened my eyes again.

I was standing with the rest of the SOS Brigade. Not a single one of them looked confused.

I then looked around the area... I was in Hinamizawa. No... Not the Hinamizawa from before.

This one was full of life. People were walking around without a care in the world.

I don't think I have to look at a Calender... I'm pretty sure I was in the year 1983.
