An Everyday Accourance
Sorry for the sucky summary minna, I didn't have enough room to fit everything on!
I hope you like wierd, complicated stories because my story is so strange, it may acctually be mush.
I've always thought of characters like Tsuruya, Imoto and Emiri to be quite mysterious and I finally came up with an answer to my questions. I hope you enjoy my fanfic. Constructive critisism is welcome! I suppose this is kinda my prolouge, well enjoy! :D
Mugi x
BTW, This chapter is not from Kyon's POV, but most of the chapters will be.
Disclaimer: If I owned the world of Haruhi, everybody's brains would turn to mush with confusion :S
The world was in chaos.
Everyday, the news told of more and more disappearances, deaths and suisides. A secret war was raging; not only here in Japan but across the world. Nobody knew it was happening but us. Mama and her people were trying to defend The Glass with all her might against The Sliders. It just didn't seem real, and I was willing to pretend it wasn't reality.
I went to school, played with my friends and watched T.V. Ate dinner, brushed my teeth and went to bed.
Still, I couldn't ignore it. Classmates disappeared and our class overflowed with new students who moved here to be away from the worst of the, in normal human terms, mystery.
My friends either moved or died; one special person had even been held captive until our people gave up a few arrested Sliders. But even he disappeared after a while. I knew something worse would happen, the question was, when?
But when I was in my first year of Elementry School, my question was answered. And the answer was - Now.
Then life changed forever. It had happened before, and not just to me but to my friends, classmates and even my own family but I didn't think it would happen again. Not now. Not since we became so strong and my people insured me it would all be over in a few months. Or maybe I was just willing that to be. However, when something like that happens to someone you love, you will do anything.
And I mean anything.
I cried over her broken body, screaming into her chest. Uncle Koizumi pulled me aside and handed me the TPDD as large men ran around us. What was once my back yard had turned into a war zone. The ground shook, not the cause of bombs, but amazing powers and crackling energy. I wiped mud off my face and closed my eyes. I knew what I had to do. I had to put an end to this madness. According to Uncle Koizumi, my 'powers' were so rare in our kind of people, I was the only person around who could do this.
I didn't want to leave her, but I knew I was the only one who could possibly save her. I brushed away the tears and looked him straight in the eyes.
"What do I have to do?"

I was standing in a room so amazing, I actually fainted the first time I saw it. Papa called it a 'Data Space'. The walls flashed colours I didn't even recognise, that wouldn't exist in the real world. I felt uneasy. Although I new they wouldn't hurt me, the people Mama told me were 'Aliens' scared me. They reminded me of The Sliders.
One alien walked up to me and put it's arms around me, to my horror. I tried to push away but it was too strong for me. I felt tears prick my eyes; I just wanted it to let go. The alien was distinctivly female, but I couldn't bring myself to address it in that sense.
"28Y0=72&L%_Su2U^^1yA"
It let go and I stepped as far back as I could. I didn't have much time left, and I really didn't want that to be the last thing I do here.
I ran and hugged Papa goodbye and the tears started to fall once again.
He kissed my forehead and carressed my hair while wispering in my ear softly.
"Be brave, princess," he choked as I sobbed uncontrollably, "I love you, and so does your Mama. Promise me to try and stay out of trouble."
Before I could reply, I slipped through The Glass and into The Unknown World.
When you have an experience like that, it makes you think a lot. I thought of all the people I'd lost, yet at the same time, all the people I'd found along the way. I thought of my friends, some dead, some who knows where, others in grave danger. I imagined my Mama and Papa's faces smiling at me and telling me it would be fine, and that they loved me. Uncle Koizumi and the strange girl who hugged me. Papa's friend with the pretty eyes and Mama's friend who had disappeared a while ago, along with her cheerful attitude and contagious laugh. Then someone else popped up in my mind, a person I had never met and had only seen in photographs - Papa's Sister. My Aunt. The first of many to go missing about 26 years ago. Why had she come to mind? As I pondered this, I had a feeling the space I was in had become my imagination, as I could see them all in front of me, waving as I fell. And then I hit ground.

I suppose I'd have to get used to this - it was so cold!
I suddenly realised I was still wearing my pajamas which were ripped, muddy and had a few bloodstains. My hair was matted and wet - lets just say the water in my family's lake was rather grimy in these times. The last two hours had gone so fast, it felt like a few minutes.
I looked around this strange new place and figure that I was in a park, not unlike the one that used to be by my school. However, In place of my school I could see a large apartment building. The river was frozen over and the path was icy. There was snow as far as I see. It was dazzling, yet it was lashing at my face and numbing my toes. It was beautiful but it terrified me. If I didn't get out of here soon, I'd freeze to death.
I knew where I had to go, but getting there would be a problem. Snow is especially freezing when you have no shoes and are wearing a skinny pair of PJ's. But thankfully, Uncle Koizumi had arranged for her to come pick me up. Or it was just an amazing coincidence.
"B-but, you, here... I, um... huh?"
From her reaction, I instantly thought the latter.
I could almost laugh at the likeness. However, after what had just happened, I didn't think I'd be smiling for a long time, maybe even years, until I sorted everything out.
"I can't believe you're here!" she gasped after a lot of gaping and stuttering.
I nodded slowly, unsure of where this was going. I needed to get moving if I was to find her. But in my heart, I knew I'd never be able to find the place anytime soon. I turned around to face the woman, who was still staring at me, as if I had just fallen from the sky from another world in my pajamas as a spy for a secret organisation. Well, to be honest, that was all true, although she had no way of knowing that.
"You're who he sent? His own daughter! That's terrible! How old are you, six?"
I pouted. Not her too... I was just small for my age! Worry does that to a person...
Anyway, she stared at me for a long time before whispering, "You should come get on some warm clothes."
I nodded and walked silently behind the woman, who looked so familiar, yet was practicaly a stranger. It kind of hurt, being treated like a colleuge by someone who should have hugged me and told me everything would be alright and not to worry.
Some tears escaped my eyelids as I replayed everything that had happened in the last few hours. Yesterday, the biggest of my worries had been not doing my Maths Homework and deciding what to wear to school. Now I had the fate of my world, this world and loved ones in my hands. I was 8 years old and I had to save thousands of peoples lives.
I felt like stopping and searching for that one woman that could change my life for good. The sooner I could get back home, the better, right?
But before I could make my decision, the woman in front of me turned around and knelt down. She took my hands and gave them a tight squeeze.
"Everything will be alright," she smiled, "don't worry about anything, Haruhi Suzumiya."
