A/N: I found a pretty good song that can be the theme for this story, Unnamed World by Hirano Aya. Try to listen to it while reading!
"Why did Koizumi have to give that idea? I can still hear Haruhiko's ramblings ringing in my ears…"
Covering my ears won't do any difference, but I want to sleep peacefully without any useless thoughts. Damn you, Koizumi…
Huh? I feel like I'm floating… It actually feels nice, I must be dreaming by now. Thank goodness for that… The human body sometimes knows what to do when stressed.
-X-
Ever have those moments where you wake up half asleep, try to get your morning routine done, and get through it pretty well?
Well, noticing that I was putting on boxers finally woke me up.
Looking in my apparent drawer, I can only find men's undergarments…
Did I wake up in my dad's room? No, this room looks like mine, only it seems a bit different… And a strange odor to it…
"Kyon-kun! Are you up yet?"
Crap! Whose voice is that? It doesn't sound like my little brother… Think! Think! Where to hide?! Oh, I know…
"Kyon-kun! You'll be late if you don't wake up! Huh?… He's not here, he must be in the bathroom already…"
*Exclaim*
Hiding behind the door while it opened worked, but I need to know where I am. This isn't my house, and that's not my little brother…
Did Haruhiko have to do with this?
I should get school, Nagato might know something… Wait, where's my uniform?
Oh no! I only have pajamas on! And this room has guy's clothes… Uh… Um… Erg!
Sorry who lives here, I have to borrow some clothes…
Ah! I need a rubber band for my hair… Oh, well a normal one will do…
-X-
Climbing out a window isn't as easy when you don't know where you are, but the area I'm in isn't all that strange. Hopefully, I can find Koizumi or Nagato-san on my way…
Well, the school looks the same. Okay, I'll wait behind some bushes and wait. I need a uniform quickly, this guy's clothes are baggy!
"Good morning, Koizumi!"
"Morning, Asahina-san."
Koizumi? Asahina-san? Why do those guys have their names, but different people… Definitely Haruhiko's doing…
Knowing my situation, I need their help.
Psst! Psst!
"Did you hear something?"
"No."
Over here!
"Hmm? Who are you? Strangers aren't allowed on campus…"
"Be careful, Koizumi…"
Do you two know Koizumi Itsuki and Asahina Mitsuru?
"Hm? I'm Koizumi Itsuki, but this is Asahina Mikuru. Are you looking for us?"
Huh? You're Koizumi? Asahina Mikuru? What's going on…
I have no one else to go to… Can we talk behind the building so we won't cause a crowd?
"Um… Sure."
With explaining my dilemma, I can only describe my situation…
"So… You're name is Kyonko and you go to school here. Also, your friends have our names, but with different genders. Correct?"
Yeah.
"Oh boy… This might have been my fault…"Your fault?
"Our friend, Suzumiya Haruhi, might have gotten you here from my idea of there being a parallel universe."You and your female self had the same idea? I'm starting to dislike you already…
"Koizumi, we're going to be late for class. What are we going to do about… Kyonko…"
Yes, what are you going to do? Hm, this Asahina-san has a pretty nice rack. I'm oddly jealous from this person…
"Hmm… You seem to be the same size as her… I think I got you covered on a uniform, but it may be difficult to explain you to the class and Suzumiya-san…"
Oh yeah, you said Suzumiya Haruhi. So this universe I'm in has everyone's gender switched… I'm afraid to know what a female Haruhiko does for fun…
"Okay, I'll look for Nagato-san and tell her the details. Wait here for now."
Okay. Hmm, I wonder what Nagato looks like as a girl?…
"Until then, let's go Asahina-san."
"Right, take care!"
Yeah.
Waiting wasn't all that bad, what surprised me most was that Nagato-san came fast.
Seeing Nagato-san as a girl, her body was smaller compared to her male counterpart's tall figure. But, she had that same impassive look I know.
"Are you Kyonko?"
Y-Yes. Why am I nervous all of a sudden?
"Here. I made a copy of my uniform, you have about the same measurements as my body figure."
Thanks. At least your talking didn't change…
Can you take care of these clothes for me?
*Nod*
Okay, now I can get in.
"Lunch break."
Huh?
"Meet at that time in the clubroom."
R-Right. Thanks again…
Suddenly walking off with no answer, definitely the same Nagato-san.
-X-
Okay, I just have to get into class casually. Damn it, a lot of people are here already… Okay just get into that empty seat… Stop staring at me!
"Hey! Who are you? This isn't your seat."
The girl behind me looks like someone I know, this could be messy…
Um… Well… I-
"Speak up! Who are you?! And what's your purpose here?!"
I'd like to know myself!
"Calm down, Suzumiya-san. I was just informed that Kyon is in America for a foreign exchange program and his cousin from there is switching with him. Everyone, be sure to give her a warm welcome!"
Thank you, teacher! That seemed to calm this Suzumiya's suspicion.
"Is that right? Your Kyon's cousin. What's your name?"
Crap, I can't give my real name. Um… Let's see…
"Well?"
Hold on, damn it!
"Jane Smith…"
"Heh?…"
It worked on Haruhiko, but will it work on h-
"Good to meet you, Jane!"
Wow…
Okay, everything seems to go smoothly. I just need to wait for lunch…
-X-
Thank goodness for the bell, I was getting tired of listening to these lessons and a morbid stare down behind my neck.
"Hey, where you headed?…"
Great… Um… I'm getting lunch, what else?
"From the cafeteria? I'll come with!"
No! You stay here! I need to get to the clubroom.
"Well, don't want to be late before the good stuff is gone. Hey!"
What!?"Since this is your first day, I'll buy you lunch. 'Kay?"
That doesn't sound so bad… Fine, but let's make it fast…
"I like your style! Let's rush like no tomorrow!"
Ow! You don't need to drag me!
"Hey, Kunikida. What do you think of Kyon's cousin?"
"If your asking me if she's cute, I wouldn't try, Taniguchi. It would feel weird hitting on Kyon's cousin."
"Hm, well suit yourself then. I'm going to try get a date with her!"
"May whoever sees over you, give you good luck. You may need it in the end…"
"You're insulting me, aren't you?"
-X-
I guess getting free lunch wasn't bad, but having Suzumiya follow me around got me on my nerves. Miraculously, I lost her. Now to head to the clubroom.
Ah, I see you're all here…
"Had a hard time finding this place?"
No, I had your Suzumiya tailing me.
"That must have been difficult, I'm surprised you got rid of her."
Yeah, go ahead Koizumi. Say whatever you want, because I know you and your female self wouldn't come to help…
"So, Nagato-san. What can you tell from her?"
"Her DNA structure is 99.9% accurate from Kyon, but the last percent are XX chromosomes…"
Um, speak normal here.
"She means you're Kyon, only as a female."
Does that mean you believe me now?
"I guess you're right, but that brings up the questions. Where is Kyon, and how long will be here…"
I never thought of that… This is all your fault.
"Also, would you staying here will affect things?"
I don't know…
"Of course it will, Koizumi!"
Crap! Haruhi found me!
"Suzumiya-san, did you hear everything!?"
"Yeah, and it sounded like you didn't want her here. What kind of person are you?"
"It wasn't like that… Heheh."
*Sigh*
That was close, I thought the universe would go blank on us for a minute. Or is it universes?
"So, Jane. What did you come here for?"
Eh? Oh, um…
"She said she wanted to join the club to take Kyon's spot."
Damn it, Koizumi! I'd rather kiss my male counterpart!
"Is that so? Ah, the bell. Be sure to come after school, we have a lot to do!"
Damn it all…
"Sorry about that, it only seemed logical."
Well, I'd better get to class before something else happens that I might regret…
-X-
Tiring as it is, I was able to get through everything. Now, to deal with the gender flipped SOS Brigade…
"Hey! Kyon's cousin!"
Hm? Hey, this guy looks like Taniguchi.
"Are you doing anything this weekend?"
Hmm… I don't know. Why do you ask?
"Uh… Um… I just thought I can give you a tour of the town, and we can get to know each other!"
Sorry, I might busy later on. Thank you for the offer though.
"Ah, right… See ya…"
I think I avoided something dangerous…
"Hah… I guess she's just as stubborn as Kyon…"
"I told you needed luck."
"Woah! Kunikida, were you here all this time?"
"Just to see that I was right."
"Damn you…"
-X-
Well, the atmosphere in the clubroom is the same. I see they put heir Asahina-san in a maid outfit, I guess it suits her pretty well.
"Welcome, Kyo- I mean Jane-san!"
Be careful with your words, Asahina-san. Hey, where's Nagato-san? She's usually here before us.
"I sent her off to take care of Kyon's family from panic and to find any source to find your way back home…"
I see, well at least it's pretty quiet he-
"Hey guys!"
I spoke too soon…
"Hm? Where's Yuki?"
"Nagato-san said she had some business to take care of, so she left early."
"Ah, rare for her to leave. Too bad, I was going to use her for a little something…"Something?
"Heh? Hm, Jane, you could probably be a perfect fit…"
What do you mean fit? Could you move out of my personal space and what's in that bag?…
"You want to know?!"
Crap, what have I gotten myself into…
"Can I come in yet?"
"Not yet, Koizumi. Jane keeps struggling, Mikuru-chan try to hold her!"
"Sorry, Jane-san…"I don't want to put this crazy outfit on!
"You're only wearing for a little while, c'mon!"
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
"Okay, Koizumi. Come in."
"Wow. You two look great!"
Shut it, and your smiling isn't helping. Why do I have to wear this white bunny girl outfit!?
"I was going to have Yuki wear it, but you had her size. I'm going to get you two to be in a picture with Mikuru-chan as a banner for our website!"
Even a the website exists… Damn it all, I feel all violated all over…
"Okay Koizumi, start snapping some shots!"
"Right!" *snap*
Don't you have an outfit too? Shouldn't you be in this too?
"I possibly can't, you two are the stars of this club! Our humble mascot and Kyon's special transfer cousin!"
Boy, am I lucky…
"Right! Now use these props I got!"
What?! Wait, why am I trying to balance these cups of milk on this tray!? Woah!
"To give some fan service for our viewers, people like to see girls having trouble with something. Right, Mikuru?"
"Uh, Uh! R-Right… Yeek!"
Isn't trying to force someone to ride a unicycle a bit much… AGH! WATCH OUT ASAHINA!
"Oh no!"
*CRASH!* *Splat!*
Ugh… I'm all sticky…"You could say it's a sticky situation…" *snap*
That was terrible, even for you Koizumi…
*Bzzz*
"Hm?"
*Click*
"Moshi moshi?"
Thank whoever is calling…
"Sorry, Jane-san…"
Don't worry about it, thanks for helping me up…
"Right. I understand, bye."
*Click*
"Jane-san, could you get dressed quickly? Nagato-san needs a bit of help, I'll be coming too."
"Is there something wrong?"
"Don't worry, Suzumiya-san. Nagato just needs help moving a bit of her furniture to look for something…"
"Are you sure you'll be fine?"
"Yes, you two should stay here and clean this before anyone comes up here…"
"Alright then, Jane-san get dressed fast and get to Yuki's fast. You can wash later, that's an order! Mikuru, help me with this…"
"Right…"
At least I'm getting out of this outfit…
-X-
Still feeling sticky, I was glad I got out of that situation. But, it did feel like home… Home… When am I going back?
So, Koizumi. What does Nagato-san need to look for?
"We're actually going to Nagato's place to get your pajamas you woke up with, my Organization called me and detected a strange shift in a closed space nearby. This may be a chance for you to return."Really! This is great! Wait, what about myself being here? Wouldn't anybody notice I disappeared?
"Don't worry, Nagato-san and my Organization can handle things. We just need for you to get home, and you can probably find Kyon for us."
Right, let's go…
"Here."
My pajamas. Thank you for helping me, Nagato-san.
"No problem."
*Hug*
Sorry for the surprise hug, you seem more easier to hug than the Nagato-san I know…
"I don't mind…"
Hehe! Nice meeting you guys, let's go Koizumi.
"Right. Nagato-san, be prepared if anything pops up."
*Nod*
"Okay, the closed space should be here. Ready to enter?"
*Nod* Let's go.
-X-
Yup, definitely the same dark blue place. I don't see any giants though.
"There! There's a rift tearing open, hurry."
Thanks, I'll try to look for Kyon once I get in.
"Wait."Hm? What is it?
"Here, I want you to take this."
Huh? An SD card?
"It has the pictures I took today from the clubroom, you can keep them. Plus, it's better this way. We need you to never have existed for Suzumiya-san to not get so attached to you."
Thank you… Really, thank you…
"No problem, now hurry."
Right, see you soon Koizumi!
*Dashes away*
"See you soon?… Oh! I see. Hehe…"
Ha! Finally, back home! I can clean my face and…
Woah, it's me… I don't look that bad as a guy, admiring myself like this is a little weird…
Damn that girl, you better get back home yourself… You have no idea what I went through…
"I think I can, you're me remember?"
I'm a girl…
"Oh… Right. Haruhi made you cosplay, didn't she?"
Yup, I'd like to stay and chat to myself, but I'd want to get back home as soon as possible…
"Right, good luck on your side…"
You too…
Well, I'm in my universe's normal closed space. Hm, is Koizumi around here?
*THUD*
Woah! This giant almost crushed me with it's body!
"Kyonko!?"
I recognize that voice…
*Tight, close hug*
"I'm glad you're back!"
Yeah, can you let go?…
*Sniff*
"You smell like milk, I wonder what you taste like?…"
*Lick*
Ugh! Get off me already! Bring me back home already, I need a bath…
"It's good to have you back, Kyonko…"
It's good to be back…
