Stumbling on Stones Unturned

Before the incident Haruhi seemed to be the kind of person who shouldn't have any worries. But, she does. The fact that whatever it was that she believed in never really existed is what bothers her. Though she never really tells me this it's obvious on the way she acts.

Haruhi has always wished that Aliens, Ghosts, Time Travelers, Espers and Sliders existed. During those few months with Yuki, Mikuru and Koizumi even I was pushed into believing that they did exist. But sadly it was all a hoax used to entertain the public media. Though it's a little hard to admit, I felt quite happy during those brief moments when I thought that Aliens, Time Travelers and Espers existed.

Haruhi on the other hand was never able to share this feeling with me. Probably though, that feeling only came to her when we were stuck in that "Closed Space" that she "generated". It was only at that time that she experienced the joy of being in the presence of something extraordinary.

Now as I spend my time with Haruhi in the same cafe the Brigade used to visit everyday, I begin to understand more about how Haruhi feels about the world.

'Hey listen to me, I need to tell you something.'

'What is it?'

'Do you want to know which beings Yuki, Asahina and Koizumi all pretended to be?'

'This seems like an irrelevant topic but then again we have nothing else to discuss. Go ahead.' Haruhi took a sip of her smoking hot coffee.

'Actually, the three of them "revealed" themselves to be an alien, a time traveler and an esper.' I decided to play around with Haruhi for a while. 'Could you tell me your guesses on who they portrayed themselves to be?'

'What do you mean?'

'You know, guess who's who.'

'Oh ok.' Haruhi leaned back on her chair and thought. 'I would guess that Mikuru-chan was the Alien. Why you ask? Because her beauty is out of this world.'

Wrong. And what kind of reason is that?

'Now, Koizumi, Koizumi was the Time Traveler, how do I know this? Obviously because he was acting as the old fashioned guy. Therefore, he "came" from the past to the present.' Haruhi ran her fingers on the rim of the coffee cup she had in her hand.

'So what you're saying is that, Koizumi was a time-traveler from the past? Haruhi, if our technology isn't advanced enough today to make time travel possible today, what makes you think that they had the technology back then?'

'Simple, Koizumi is also an alien... from the past...!' Haruhi looked unsure for a moment but then she continued, 'The Ancient Mayan People, the Egyptians, the guys who made Stone Henge etcetera, etcetera... all of those people in the past were so primitive that it was impossible for them to make those gigantic wonders that still stands here today... are you following?'

Kinda.

'So, the only way on how the Egyptians and the Mayans were able to make those gigantic pyramids was because of the help of an alien race.' Haruhi explained to me. 'And Stone Henge? They were influenced by an alien forerunner race that gave them access to gravity lifts that were able to carry those gigantic stones.' Haruhi nodded.

'Now do you understand Kyon? Mikuru-chan was the alien because of her extraordinarily cute looks. Koizumi was an alien from the past sent to the future for reasons unknown. Leaving Yuki...' Haruhi slowly drank her coffee as she shifted her eyes. I was a little anxious on what ridiculous explanation she was going to come up with now.

'Yuki was... a half-bred alien esper who traveled from the future to...' Haruhi twitched her eyebrows while she spoke, then slowly breathed in some air and sighed as she fell on the table. 'I don't know...' She was now lying before me motionless. Her hair was covering her face so I was unsure of what emotion she was showing. 'Why are you making me answer these things anyway?'

I grinned. 'I just felt like it. Anyway, let me correct your guesses. Yuki was the alien. Mikuru was the Time Traveler and Koizumi well, he was part of a squad of esper boys, whose soul purpose was to dispose of those blue giants that chased us back then.' I explained.

Haruhi slowly lifted her head. 'Oh... Ok.'

'Hmmm? Are you depressed or something?'

'...'

I knew it. Haruhi, I know that you're disappointed about the whole "surprise you're on candid camera" thing but this is a perfect opportunity for you to start a new life.

'...'

A life wherein you don't just go off randomly pursuing aliens, time travelers and espers. As I told you before; man just has to be content with what is in front of him. Going on chasing things that aren't there doesn't do anything to push human society and...

'Screw that!' I was caught off-guard with her sudden shout. It sounded like she was angry and the reason was obviously me. Rambling about believing in things that only exist before your eyes, what gave me the right to do that? What was I thinking? Even though what happened before was merely a hoax I know that not even that can stop Haruhi on her search for the unknown.

'Haruhi I...'

'Don't worry about it.' She slowly raised her head and she looked at me dazed. 'Sorry about the shout. I guess it's because... I'm still feeling a bit melancholic over the past events. Kyon.'

'The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi.' I said to her.

Haruhi looked at me for a moment and then said. 'Well? Where should we go now?'

'I don't know...' I looked down at my coffee and sighed. The best thing to do now is to quickly change the topic.

'I GOT IT!!' Haruhi smacked her fist against the table sending droplets of coffee to my face. As I wiped the coffee from my face Haruhi declared, 'We're watching Cloverfield Kyon! It's being shown in a nearby cinema just two blocks from here!' I better not ask how she knew that.

'Let's go!' Haruhi ran out and waited for me at the automatic door with her arms crossed.

'Hey you were supposed to pay for this!' I shouted at her from my seat. 'You arrived late remember?'

Haruhi poked her head inside the restaurant and said in a desperate tone, as if wanting everyone else in the restaurant to hear what she was about to say. 'Oh my God Kyon, I did not know you were that kind of person... we're on a date aren't we? And now you're letting me, the girl pay? My, my Kyon, what would our fanbase say?'

'Fanbase what fanbase?' I fixed myself up as I stood.

'That fanbase.' Haruhi pointed at a group of high schoolers seated in a corner of the restaurant. They all looked like punks, really, really angry punks. As their largest member turned to look at me I immediately reverted my vision back to Haruhi. I walked towards her with large strides and said to her ear. 'That is not a fanbase. They look more like serial rapists if you ask me.'

Haruhi blinked a few times and then said, 'Meh. Maybe we're their guilty pleasure... I mean other than raping, if that's what you're saying.'

Then as if on cue a tall waiter appeared behind me and patted my shoulder to catch my attention. He coughed once before he showed me an open palm with the bill inside it. I can't believe this atrocity that Haruhi has committed yet again. But at least I got to her emotional side. I took out my wallet and paid the exact amount to the waiter.

The next Monday Haruhi proved to me that she hasn't given up on her dreams yet. Before classes started Haruhi and I were having yet another one of our conversations.

'Wait...' I said. '...so you're saying to me that you want the both of us to fill up all of the roles of the Brigade members?'

'Yup.' Haruhi gave an exaggerated nod. She then leaned over her desk and placed a finger on my nose. 'There are a total of 5 roles to fill up. It's quite simple really, we just divide the roles between you, and me.' She smiled as she pulled back. 'Simply put, you will be fulfilling the roles of the two males while I will be fulfilling the role of the three females.'

Accompanied with flashy hand movements Haruhi began explaining to me her idea. 'You will be playing the roles of Deputy Chief...' wow Deputy Chief, that would actually be a noble rank if not for the fact that there are only two members. 'And you will also be playing the role of Chore Boy.'

I don't know what look I had on my face then but Haruhi simply said. 'What's wrong? It's natural in organizations to make the lower ranks do all the menial tasks. Now let me continue...' Haruhi breathed in some air before saying. 'Now, I will be playing the following roles: (1) Brigade Leader slash Ultra Director - this person is in charge of everything. I also have to be very eccentric and random...'

'...which you already are.' I added.

'And aside from that, I will also play as (2) The Cute Innocent Mascot Girl...' Haruhi was balancing her pen on her lips as she explained this to me.

'Haruhi, how do you plan to be the eccentric director and the cute mascot girl at the same time?'

Haruhi looked at me with puppy-dog eyes and said in a high-pitched voice. 'I-I'm cute r-right?' She managed to let some tears faintly flow from her eyes and she forced herself to blush. I was speechless. This could possibly be the rarest event the world has ever seen, and I'm here witnessing it. Oh how lucky I am.

'What?' Haruhi snapped at the people behind me. I turned around and saw a jaw-dropped Taniguchi and an equally surprised Kunikida. Haruhi quickly made them leave with a quick throw of a notebook.

What was that about?

'Nothing.' Haruhi sat back down and looked at me. 'Now... Oh yeah my final role is...' With her eyes rapidly shifting in both directions Haruhi said to me. '...the silent character.'

I instinctively moved my hand while asking, 'How are you supposed to do that?'

Haruhi continued shifting her eyes around rapidly and said, 'I... don't know.' After hearing her say that I wanted to smack my head hard on her table. Clearly, she has no idea what she's talking about. And clearly, her plans for the future are all but clear.

'Hey I have an idea. Why don't we suspend this "I want to get my club back together" routine? I mean you seem pretty stressed out Haruhi. People often make fatal mistakes if they're not at their best state of being.'

'Unacceptable!' she slammed her fist against her desk. 'That's what they want us to do!'

They?

'Yes, they.' Haruhi waved her finger around in the air as she explained angrily. 'Ghosts, Espers and whatnot want us to discover them. Obviously Kyon, they are as excited as us.' What proof do you have of this anyway? 'But they're not going to just sit there and wait for us to come to them! They want to give us a challenge because they... they're playing hard to get.'

So they're just like you eh?

'Exactly.'

'No. But still...' I leaned forward and placed an open palm on Haruhi's face. 'We're not going to be able to accomplish anything if you act all restless and random Haruhi. If you want to get something done, you have to act calm and concise so that you won't screw everything up for yourself.'

Haruhi looked still into my eyes and I looked back into hers. If you're thinking that this was going to result into yet another kiss well you're wrong. This was more of a staring contest as opposed to a stare that would lead into a lip-lock. Haruhi's eyes told me "Screw you Kyon! I'm going to do what I want." while my eyes told her the opposite- That you can't have everything that you want, you're no longer a god Haruhi. In fact I'm actually relieved at the fact that I don't have to babysit her anymore into always staying happy and jolly otherwise the world will end. But still, I'm not the type of person that would leave Haruhi to act on her own.

Haruhi still tried to convince me that she was right through her piercing stare but in the end she chose go gave up. 'Sigh... fine. Let's just reorganize two weeks from now.'

Right.

'But I can't think of anything to pass the time though...' Haruhi said to the birds fluttering outside.

'I can suggest something.' a girl who stood behind me said to us. I turned around and saw Ryoko Asakura... My instincts quickly told me to jump off my seat and prepare to leap out of the window. I even went to as far as shouting out her name because of gripping fear.

'R-RYOKO!!'

'What?' she tilted her head and pouted. She then smiled and closed her eyes. She waved her hand in the air as she said, 'Oh, hehe, you're probably traumatized about that event. Am I correct?'

'Like hell yes I am!' My feet carried me to stand behind Haruhi.

'Well, isn't it a relief to find out that it was all a hoax and I really didn't want you to die?' she said idly.

Well I guess it was a relief to know that somebody wasn't out to get me in my sleep, but that doesn't change the fact that you tried to cut me up with a kitchen knife! And you were smiling and laughing back then, that dramatically increased the scare factor!

'I'm sorry for that then.' she said sincerely as she bowed her head. She then reached in her bag and pulled out...

'Th-The murder weapon!' I shouted at the knife she held in her hands. The knife she held looked exactly like the knife that she used on that sick act of hers, in fact I think that is the knife that she used. It even has some blood stains on its tip!

'I...' she stepped forward.

Chair, chair, chair, I need to find a chair.

'I wanted to give this to you as a souvenir.' she offered the knife towards me, its handle faced towards me. I looked down at the sharp blade and I felt my legs weaken.

I took out my handkerchief and I wiped my forehead of the sweat that trickled down. 'I'm sorry, I-I can't... I would prefer to just forget about the whole affair and if I kept that as a trophy... the traumatic event would just keep haunting my dreams.'

'Oh... is that so?' Ryoko motioned to return the blade into her bag but Haruhi quickly snatched it away from her.

'IF YOU don't mind.' Haruhi said to her. 'I would like to keep it.'

Ryoko watched Haruhi juggle the blade with one hand (this was making me uncomfortable) and said, 'Sure.'

Haruhi continued throwing the blade into the air and catching it with one hand until finally she said to Ryoko. 'What are you still doing here? Have something to say?'

'Yes.' Ryoko nodded. 'As an act of goodwill from Sakura TV they are offering the participants of the said experiment a full-expense paid trip to a private island villa in the south. I am here inviting the both of you to join us.'

'Us? You were an actor not a subject.' Haruhi asked.

Ryoko shook her head slowly. 'Despite being the actor assigned to scare Kyon into submission...' I have the sudden urge to suck my thumb. 'I was also a victim of this charade. We actors were not informed of the true purpose of our acting until the final moments after all.'

I understand.

'Also, because of this Taniguchi and I were the first to experience the "Adam and Eve" scene.' Ryoko then snickered to herself a few words. Though I didn't hear this clearly I think she just cussed about Taniguchi leaving her during the blue giant incident.

'I thought Taniguchi's partner was named Kyoko?' I asked.

'He just mispronounces it. So? Will the both of you be going?' Asakura held her hands together as if praying and pled, 'Pleeaase?'

Haruhi turned around and looked at me. She then looked at me slowly from head to toe and smiled. I finally got the nerve to ask, 'What are you doing?'

'Imagining you in a swim trunks.' Haruhi said as she turned back to Ryoko. With her hands stretched and placed on Asakura's shoulders Haruhi said. 'Only if Kyon's going.'

Ryoko looked at me and winked.

I groaned aloud right before I said. 'Fine. I'll go.' In fact, this is a perfect opportunity to relax and recollect my thoughts with Haruhi right?

That Saturday news spread around the campus of my little weekend escape with Haruhi. And upon finding out that each of the couples were going to share rooms the campus got even rowdier. Haruhi, who was as confident as always, always found a way to dismiss whatever claims girls said to her. However I was unable to do that.

So now here, as I await the ferry to arrive I appear tired both physically and emotionally. Physically because Haruhi made me carry all of her bags and emotionally because of the hundreds of questions thrown at me by the male population of my school. I lowered one of the suitcases and I sat on a nearby wooden pillar in the bridge. While Haruhi was anxiously waiting for the ferry to come I figured that this was the perfect time to observe the way she looked.

Haruhi slid her shades down and gazed in the distance. Her dark silky hair flew in the sea breeze as she stood by edge of the boarding dock. She was wearing casual clothes but her beauty still managed to radiate. She was wearing a short-sleeved white blouse with a matching miniskirt. As the wind blew her skirt slowly revealed more and more of her white legs-- I chose to immediately look away after that.

'Such a huge ship! Don't you agree Kyon? Wonder how this thing floats in water.' Haruhi said, oblivious to my staring.

'Upward water pressure pushing on the bottom of a boat causes the boat to float. Basically here it is done in a much larger scale.' a tall person stood beside Haruhi, he lowered his shades revealing his brilliant blue eyes. The man looked down at Haruhi then he took a quick glance at me. 'It's nice to meet you both. Let me introduce myself, my name is Zack Adrianne Knight. Also note, that this is only my alias, I'll probably tell you my real name in due time.'

Wait, that was the introduction? This seems familiar...

'Zack? That sounds like a foreign name to me.' Haruhi asked curiously.

'Not exactly, More of a half-blood.' he pushed back his shades with a graceful push from his index finger. He then looked at the both of us and said, 'Kyon and Suzumiya-san am I correct? If my assumption is correct you were the first couple who was chosen in the social experiment. Also, if not for the both of you then the world's perspective of the teenagers of today wouldn't have changed.' he said formally.

Judging by the way Zack talked I could say that he probably came from a noble family. But his clothing countered that theory as he dressed casually like everyone else. Zack continued with his speech of formality when suddenly a pair of feet come flying from nine o'clock.

'I hope we all become good fr-- BOOM --MOTHER OF JESUS CHRIST!!' Zack screamed at the top of his lungs as he flew head first into the cold waters of Tokyo Bay. Haruhi moved back in shock and I nearly fell off my post.

'That's for making me carry all your luggage!' a girl shouted as she leaned over the harbor to look at Zack who was struggling to stay afloat on the water. She was more of sexy than cute with her hourglass body and how should I say this? A bust size similar to (if not larger than) Asahina-san. Her long pink hair flew with the wind as her blue eyes starred down on Zack.

Then from the edge of the wooden platform I saw a pair of fingers clinging on for dear life. I was supposed to go and help but then suddenly Zack manages to pull himself up with just one hand. Not only that! He was even able to jump up on the platform, only with the use of his one arm. He then proceeded to shouting fierce insults at the girl in the face. I found this to be inappropriate so I had the urge to intervene. But then Haruhi said, 'Looks like they're having fun. With all of this arguing I mean.' So I chose not to continue.

'Miyon, Zack stop embarrassing yourselves.' a girl dressed in casual clothing walked in while being followed by a white haired man. She had green eyes and black hair tied in a ponytail. (Author's Note: Kyon is prolly marking out right now). 'You both are the eldest among us here so you should be acting the most civilized.' the girl commented. Her entrance gave off an aura of feared authority.

Zack opened his mouth and said... 'Oh go suck a c--' ...only to be quickly kicked back into the ocean by the girl he was arguing with. The pink haired girl was now out of breath as she turned to look at me. After breathing slowly to calm herself she bowed and said to me. 'My name is Miyon Kyuki, 18 years old, it's nice meeting you.'

Just as Haruhi and I were supposed to answer back Zack quickly launches himself back on the dock. While bowing like an Englishman Zack honored us by saying, 'Zack Knight, aged 19, it is an honor meeting you.'

The emerald-eyed girl followed. 'Miromi Hayashibara, aged 17, this is a pleasure.'

Haruhi and I then looked at her silent companion. I don't think he's paying attention to anyone because he hasn't moved from his spot since he's arrived here. He had white hair and red eyes, he was also wearing a pair of thin glasses that probably helped his eyesight. He was reading a book, namely the Christian Bible. His emotionless face reminded me so much of Nagato... before she revealed that she was an actress of course.

'Hey.' Miromi gave him a nudge. 'Intro, now.'

The mysterious man slowly closed his book and fixed his glasses. Briefly he said, 'I am Kira Verily, do not let my name confuse you, I am pure Japanese. My last name is simply named after Jesus' translation of the word "Amen" in the Old Testament. I am aged 17 by the way.' After running out of words to say he simply ended his intro with, 'May God Bless you all. Amen.'

We were all now silent. He seems like a pretty calm person, despite the fact that his first name means anger.

After the rather surprising introduction from Kira we all finally decided to get aboard the ship which just landed a few moments ago. Haruhi and Zack led the pack with their powerful eccentricity and Miromi followed behind them, the rest of us were lagging behind since we were all carrying everybody else's luggage. I had wanted to help Miyon carry the bags but Haruhi's items combined with mine were already too much of a burden. Kira appeared to have superhuman strength as he carried a gigantic suitcase on his shoulder while his other hand supported the book he read.

Upon reaching the end of the seemingly endless ramp the cool ocean air brushed against my face. I let go of the bags feeling the strain release itself.

'I'm sorry... for making you carry all of these things. It was insensitive of me for allowing you to go through all that pain.' I looked up and I saw Zack talking to Miyon. Damnit, these two are just trying to get me jealous.

Miyon looked up at her partner with teary eyes but then the college student grinned mischievously. 'But then again, I consider this as punishment for repeatedly kicking me into the water a while ago.'

'Bastard.'

'Yep, but I'm your bastard.' Zack said as he kissed Miyon's forehead. He then took the bags in his arms and carried them off. I could easily tell that Zack was the dominant person in this coupling. Looking around I saw that in each of the chosen couplings one was always the dominant one whose persona influenced the personality of the other. Or something like that. I observed Miromi and Kira, it was obvious to me that Miromi was the dominant one since Kira appeared very passive with his Bible. I wonder which one's dominant between Taniguchi and Ryoko...

'KYON!! Come here! I want to show you something!' Haruhi signaled me from the distance. I gave a long sigh. At least I know who's the dominant one between me and Haruhi.

Upon reaching Haruhi (who was kneeling behind a pillar) I knelt beside her and asked. 'What is it?'

Haruhi pointed ahead and I saw Taniguchi and Ryoko standing near the bow of the boat. The both of them seemed perfectly silent and I wondered what was going on. 'What are you two doing here?' Miromi said as she placed her hand on my shoulder. Soon enough everybody began gathering behind me just to observe what was going on between Taniguchi and Ryoko.

'What's this a confession of love?' Haruhi commented, she then turned to me. 'See Kyon, at least he does it in the open. Unlike you, you closet freak.'

What are you talking about? You were the one that dragged me in the infirmary, locked the door and forced me to confess! And it's not like it mattered where I confessed, you still said yes anyway.

'Wow... she forced you to confess?' Zack said behind us. 'Even I couldn't pull that off.' After a while he said. 'I love you Haruhi.' After hearing those words I immediately heard a loud thud behind me. It turns out that Miyon just attacked him with a nearby chair.

'Shuuuush...!' Haruhi raised a hand and soon everybody was quite. Taniguchi began talking now. 'Damnit I can't hear anything! Kyon do something!'

What do you expect me to do? Somehow develop superhuman hearing?

'Good enough. Develop them now!'

I ignored Haruhi and instead I attempted to listen in on what was going on. Unfortunately, the noise that Zack and Miyon generated behind me made that task difficult. But it looks like I won't need to do that anymore. I watched as Taniguchi slowly revealed a bouquet of flowers to Ryoko. I heard Zack whistle a comment behind me. Taniguchi slowly offered the flowers to Ryoko and I could sense a slight blush in Ryoko's face. She was just about to take flowers into her arms when suddenly... the strong ocean breeze blew them off the ship.

'Epic...' Zack commented cruelly. '...fail.'

Taniguchi screamed as he watched the bouquet fly in the wind and drown in the ocean. I can only imagine how disappointed Taniguchi was, I could not imagine how long it took for Taniguchi to gather enough guts to do something like that. We should give them some space...

'THAT WAS AN UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT!' Haruhi shouted as she walked over towards the timid couple. I ran after her thinking that this was the end of everything. 'And to think that I thought that this was going to be preferably better over whatever the entertainment on this ship was going to be!'

'Su-Suzumiya-san?' Ryoko said a little nervous, but then her tone of voice returned. 'You made it!' Ryoko said happily as if she just shrugged off Taniguchi's confession. I walked beside Taniguchi who was still pondering over his lost flowers and placed a hand on his back. He was completely silent and so I chose to back away slowly to leave him alone.

After the captain announced that the trip would approximately take two to three hours everybody just decided to relax for a while. At this moment everybody was seated on the deck, the girls were playing cards while the rest of us were left with our own business. Zack with annoying Miyon, Kira with his Bible, Taniguchi with his staring-out-into-the-ocean-looking-emo and I was left with my own thoughts.

'Hey did you guys know that Nagato convinced the actors to come and visit as well?' Miyon brought up the topic while Zack attempted to balance various objects on her head.

'Really...' Haruhi said as she shuffled the cards masterfully like a casino dealer.

'Hey Kyon.' Zack told me as he placed a 6-pack of beer on Miyon's head. 'I think your Haruhi is a lesbian or at least bi.'

'What... are you talking about?' Miyon said while she fixed her hand.

'Exactly.' Zack nodded. 'Anyway, do you know why I think she's a lesbain?' (not a typo)

I chose to just look away, whatever he said was probably going to be retarded. 'It's because she keeps taking glances at Miyon...' he added. '...particularly her chest area.'

'That's probably because...' I looked slowly at Haruhi then she quickly hit me with a glare. What's wrong? Because of that glare I chose to let my words hover in the air. After all I wasn't exactly sure if she was simply jealous of her bust size.

'So if that's the case.' Zack placed his arms around Miyon and he snuggled close to her. Zack then said to her though everyone else could clearly hear, 'If you ever get any lesbian urges I am giving you the GO signal.'

'What!?' she asked.

'What I'm saying is, if you ever find yourself in a room alone with Haruhi, I expect you to give me a call and invite me to watch.'

Silence.

'PERV!!' Miyon demonstrated incredible strength out of anger as she flipped Zack over her shoulder into the table, breaking the table in half. Everybody jumped back because of surprise, except maybe Kira, he was too busy reading.

'Oh my are you alright?' Ryoko asked concerned, Zack gave her a thumb up and said, 'Never better.'

Haruhi slowly walked away and sighed. Why was she sighing? Is it because of the unfamiliar people that we're with? She was never the sociable person so that might be the reason. But then she turned to the south and shouted 'There it is!' She ran ahead and leaned over the edge of the ship just to get a closer look. She used her hand to shield her eyes from the sun and to watch the island appear from the horizon.

'I can see a manor in the distance... Kyon come here and take a lo-lo-- whoa- whoaaa...!' Haruhi shouted as she leaned a little too far over the ship. I quickly ran behind her and wrapped my hands around her waist to keep her from falling. As if ignoring my worried gesture Haruhi continued, 'Isn't it beautiful? I hope Mikuru-chan and the rest are already there, I'm plotting something that involves that Miyon girl.' she snickered.

I watched the island appear from afar. The ferry slowly moved towards it and it was slowly crawling towards us from the horizon. The island appeared majestic and beautiful with its lush forests and rare isolation from the world. As my eyes focused on holding Haruhi tighter I began to imagine what experiences we were going to have on that island.

I feel a lone island syndrome coming up...

To Be Continued...

Author's Note:

Yay chapter two! That is all. I would like everyone to give me a review because your reviews fuel my passion!! (God that sounded cheesy)

Also, comment on the new characters. Since they've just been introduced it's hard to make them really shine. Though hopefully in the following chapters I will be able to achieve that. Did I mention I want you to review?

Quick Edit:
I'll explain those things Daisuke in the next chapter (facepalm)
Because if I bothered explaining all of those things in this chapter it would get too long.
