Well, here's the second chapter. And, yes, Kyon has a mom in this fanfic, so it's not just him and his sister, at least here. A quick recap from the first chapter is at the beginning. Well, without much further ado, here's chapter two!
"A car crashed." Haruhi remarked.
"So? Cars crash all the time!" I replied. What was she on about?
"Not like this!"
"How exactly is 'this'?"
"There was no driver! The car didn't collide with anything, either. It just... blew up! The police didn't find any traces of explosives, either!"
Hm? That's odd. But here has to be a logical explanation, right?
"Well, hasn't the police confiscated the car by now?" I ask her. She smiles even wider, worrying me.
"If they have... we'll just have to 'convince' them to let us look..." she says, smiling deviously. After that onimous remark she continued walking.
"So, is it just us or is the whole Brigade involved?" I ask her.
"I called Itsuki and asked him to contact Mikuru and Yuki and tell them to meet me outside our school."
"So, what exactly do you plan to do? Give me details."
"I'll tell you ALL about it, once we get there"

The Complex of Haruhi Suzumiya- Part 2
We arrived at the school a few minutes later. I spot Koizumi, Nagato and Ms. Asahina all there. Koizumi starts waving.
"Hey, Kyon!" He yells. I groan and keep walking.
"Yo." I half-heartedly say. Koizumi still has that plastic smile of his on. He's wearing a tasteless fire-red tracksuit. I'm not such a fashion expert but, wow!
By his side are Ms. Asahina and Nagato. Ms. Asahina's wearing that lovely blue shirt and yellow skirt she also wore during her little "confession". Nagato's still wearing her school uniform. Weird.
"Alright, now do you mind explaining?" I say as I step to Ms. Asahina's side. The further from Haruhi the better.
"We're going to the crash site to investigate!" Haruhi began. "If there are some coppers guarding we have a little 'secret weapon'." Glancing at Ms. Asahina, I knew exactly what her plan was.
Her reliance on Ms. Asahina's 'charms' reminds me of that time she persuaded the Computer Club to give her a computer for the Brigade.
"Hey, nerd boys! I'm here for a computer and everything we need for it as well!" Haruhi said cheerfully as she burst through the door of the Computer Club's clubroom.
She stopped in the middle of the room, smiling.
"Who in here's the president?"
"I guess... that'd be me?" The Computer Club president hesitantly replied with a puzzled expression.
Haruhi chuckles. "There's only one reason why I would schlep all the way over here to the Computer Club. I've come here for a computer! I only need one." She asked, not too nicely.
"You crazy or something?" He answers, wide eyed.
"We only need one and you guys got a whole BUNCH in here!" She replied, pointing at all the computers.
"Ahem. Wait a sec. Who the heck are you guys, anyway?"
"We are the SOS Brigade and I'm Haruhi Suzumiya, the Leader and these are my henchmen, Number One and Number Two!" She replies, pointing to me and Ms. Asahina. I sigh.
The Computer Club president looks at both of us, confused. Poor guy.
She stepped closer to him, to the point where there were mere three centimeters away from each other.
"Don't give me any crap, just hand over a computer and noone gets hurt."
"Why the hell should I?! I'm not giving you anything!!"
"Hm?" Haruhi smiled evilly, backing away from the president. She stepped towards Ms. Asahina, grabbing her arm, pulling her towards the president.
"Attention, boys! I present to you an important announcement, so keep your eyes front and center!" She said, calmly, stopping with Ms. Asahina in front of the president.
She reached for his arms and pulled it to Ms. Asahina until...
GROOOOPE!!
It was like the entire world had stopped. Complete silence until Ms. Asahina let out a loud scream and fell to the floor. But before that, a flash was seen. Haruhi was holding a camera over the scene.
"Wh... What are you DOING?!" The Computer Club president screamed.
Haruhi smiled, shuffling to the back of the president.
"And... another shot! Get ready... NOW!" With those words, Haruhi kicked the guy onto Ms. Asahina and kept taking pictures.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" He screamed once more.
Haruhi smiled, holding the camera. "I have evidence of sexual harassment right here! If you don't want me to post this ALL over school, hand over a computer. That fair?"
One way or another, Haruhi always gets her way. And sometimes those ways aren't pleasant.
As I snapped out of my little flashback I found myself walking with the rest of the Brigade.
"We should be arriving at the crash site any minute now!" Haruhi exclaimed, happily. I caaaaan't wait!
As we approached the site where the car crashed mysteriously we were greeted with the haunting vision of reporters. Everywhere!
"Oh, damn it! Guess we weren't the first ones here. No thanks to you, Kyon!" She said, no longer smiling. I had to agree with her on that one. Silently.
"Well, we might as well investigate, right?" Koizumi suddenly joined. Don't start giving her ideas!
"Of course! Let's go!" She replied. Thanks a lot!
What was left of the car was still there. It was completely totaled in the middle of the road. And there were strange markings around it. I turned to Nagato.
"You wouldn't happen to know anything about this, Nagato?" I whispered to her.
"No, I do not." She replied in her usual emotionless voice. Sigh... well, we might as well take a closer look.
As we approached the crash site we were approached by a policeman. And he looked pissed.
"Listen, if you ain't with the press then get the hell outta here. You ain't got no business here," he said bluntly. "Now scram!"
"Listen yourself, we're the SOS Brigade and we're investigating this incident for ourselves!" Haruh responded. I never knew she cared so much.
"Oh, that's what you are? Some wannabe detective? You make me sad! Get lost!"
Haruhi looked pissed. "ARGH! Fine, you win this round. Come on, guys!" She spat and got going. Haruhi being in a bad mood equals bad news. I continued walking a few meters behind her.
We stopped in front of our school, where we met before. "Well, we're not getting there now. BUT I have a plan!" She said, smiling once again.
I noticed Koizumi smiling, but not his usual poser smile, but a genuine one.
"So that's why there wasn't a Closed Space forming..." Koizumi whispered to me. I nodded.
"So, what are we going to do?" Ms. Asahina asked her.
"Well, Mikuru, it's very simple. We sneak in there tonight!" Haruhi replied. What?
"I'm sorry, what?" I said, confused.
"Yeah. You don't feel like wakin' up in the middle of the night? That it?" Haruhi said, winking.
As I glanced at her devious smile, I sighed long and hard.
"Fine. It's better than facing another awkward situation with Mr. Uptight over there." I heard myself say.
"Alright! So you'll all show up here, at 1 tonight! Don't any of you be late! The last one to show up buys everyone breakfast, ya got that?" She smiled. I reached for my wallet and counted the cash inside it. Alright, there's enough for breakfast for five here.
I looked at Koizumi and Ms. Asahina. Koizumi had that annoyingly fake smile up again. Ms. Asahina looked slightly concerned.
"Hey, don't worry," I said to Ms. Asahina. "It'll all work out, somehow." I smiled. Mikuru's face lit up.
"Thanks, Kyon." She replied, heartwarmingly. I glanced at an annoyed Haruhi and winced a bit.
"WELL, that's it. You all show up tonight at 1! Dismissed!"
I headed home, saying my farewells to Koizumi and Ms. Asahina until Hagato approached me.
"Be careful." She said, trivially.
"Huh? What do you mean?" I replied.
"My optical sensors picked up a strong aura related to the Data Integration Thought Entity at the site of the crash."
"So, your masters are responsible in some way?"
"That is not what I was saying. Something similar, yet not the same Entity. I do not possess more information."
"So, there might be aliens at work here?"
"Yes."
I stood still for a few seconds, pondering Nagato's warning.
"Well, see ya', Nagato." I said, waving to her. I kept walking but turned around to see Nagato walk to her condo.
I went home to be greeted by my concerned mom. She ranted a bit about me missing dinner as I glanced at my watch to discover it was already 8! Was I really out that long? After my apologies she heated up the leftovers with a smile.
Consuming the fried rice and chicken, I dropped to bed and set the alarm to midnight. This was going to be a long night.
Well, that was chapter two! A bit longer than chapter one, eh? Sorry for the long flashback. Won't happen again. Constructive criticism still more than welcome. In any case, stay tuned for
