Chapter 2
Knowing
What She Knows
It was obvious that Kenichi was a bit of a powerful figure. Nagato never showed emotion, so I could tell something was wrong. But anyway, Haruhi gave Kenichi a place to sit, which was right next to me. He sat down in a slow manner, and set his notebook on the table. It was a black notebook, with no writing whatsoever on the front or back. I really wanted to take a peek inside, but I was a bit afraid of what its contents may be. Anyway, Kenichi sat there, looking forward, doing nothing but blinking. I looked back at Nagato, who had picked up her book and gone back to reading. Haruhi walked up to the front of the room and began the details of our trip.
"Hai! So, we leave tomorrow, so when you get home, you'll need to pack everything you'll need and meet at the train station at 10:00AM. We'll take a train to the docks, where we will board our cruise ship and head for the island. Any questions?"
Of course, I had a lot of questions to ask her, but I wasn't going to bother expressing them. I sipped the last bit of tea from my cup, and sighed. I can't assure you I was excited for the trip, mainly because it was being hosted by Kenichi. I looked over at him, and he stared blankly at his notebook, again, only blinking. I knew I should go up to Nagato after Haruhi dismissed us to ask what she knew about Ken. It wasn't until about 5 minutes later that Haruhi yelled...
"Dismissed!"
We all walked out of the clubroom, and headed for the front door. Mikuru and Koizumi had already began talking about the trip as we all walked outside into the bare heat. Kenichi had started in a different direction, seeming to walk towards the park while we walked down the hill. Like I told you earlier, I was going to ask Yuki about Ken, but I didn't have to, because moments later, Yuki stopped, turned, and said...
"Kyon. Please follow me."
I couldn't help but sigh and say, "Of course."
