Here's the next chapter in this unique story, enjoy.


Chapter 1

We were walking down the hall in school as I was about to spit out the drink Koizumi bought me before I was able to get a hold of myself and keep it inside. After managing to swallow I yelled at him "You're thinking WHAT?!"

"It must sound awkward to you, I know, but it's the only thing I can think of, based from what Nagato-san said."

"But what about the remaining 22 percent?" I asked after a little mental calculation. Before I got an answer, though, Asahina-san caught up on us, apparently finished with changing back into her school uniform.

"Say, Kyon-kun?" she asked in a voice that sounded like angels singing. "Wh- why did Koizumi-kun look at me like that?"

I cleared my throat and told her what I saw this morning, which was basically the same as what I said in the clubroom just earlier, but now also adding what Koizumi said mere moments ago. About half-way through, I noticed Nagato caught up as well as we were heading outside. When we passed the school gates, Koizumi took the liberty of adding to his already crazy theory.

"If this is true, we have to be careful. Who knows what would happen if Suzumiya-san will happen to find him?"

Yeah, a point you've made countless times. Nagato, please say something about this.

"Koizumi Itsuki's assumption is a perfectly logical deduction from the data I provided. I see no reason to question his theory."

So that means you agree with him? Great, now I lost what could've been my only ally.

"Therefore, I figure it's best to find out more about this man before Suzumiya-san may find him. Nagato-san?"

After a moment of silence, Nagato pointed in the direction of where this strange man was, along with how far away rounded to the nearest centimeter. Before I knew it, though, we were en route in the direction Nagato pointed at. After a while it started to look familiar, I realized that was because we were nearby the usual SOS Brigade rendezvous point when Haruhi decides we're going patrolling through town. We weren't going close enough to see it, though, but it was in the same area. We stopped a few meters short of a Sushi restaurant, looking through the window. There, sitting at a table, I could only see his back, but it was definitively the same guy from this morning. Wearing the same clothes, I noticed he was wearing a brown business like suit, yet still remained casual enough to blend in. In fact, I'd say it would look appropriate no matter where you would go.

We stepped inside and walked right up to him.

"This stuff is delicious; I wonder why I don't come to Japan more often." I heard him say to himself.

"Excuse me." I said, drawing his attention

"Oh, hello. You're the kid from this morning."

I happen to be an adult by Japanese legal standards, thank you very much.

"And are these your friends?"

I wanted to deny that, but before I could, I was interrupted by another voice.

"Hey Kyon-kun, he doesn't look as weird as you described him." Asahina-san said plainly, but before realizing what she actually said, it was already too late.

"So, your name's Kyon? That's a rather odd name."

No, it's not! Why do people always catch me with that stupid nickname?! It's embarrassing!

"You can call me the Doctor, by the way, who might you be?"

"Koizumi Itsuki, pleased to meet you."

"Nagato Yuki."

"A- Asahina Mikuru."

"Right, now the role call's finished, I figure you came to see me for something."

He was right, I had some questions and I'd best start with this.

"Well, for one thing, you can tell me who you are."

"I just told you, I'm the Doctor." he replied along with a bite of sushi.

"Name." I said rather demanding.

"I believe he is to say that his name is The Doctor." Koizumi interrupted.

"Exactemundo." this doctor replied.

"Okay, 'Doctor', what are you?"

He seemed to turn a bit quieter after that question, looking a bit more closely at Nagato, Asahina-san and Koizumi. Muttering an "I see." he stood up from his seat, picked up the coat that lay beside him and turned to the door.

"Fancy a walk?"

End chapter 1.
