A/N – Heyya! Okay, I know, I've been gone for quite a long time. The reason is I never really expected views from my other story, Yuru Star!. When I found out it actually DID get views I was like, wow, I guess patience is a virtue. So, this here is like my comeback story. Please enjoy!
Update from 2016: I KNOW I HAVE BEEN GONE FOR ONE HELL OF A TIME HAHA. It's because school work was extremely hectic and I thought nobody would read this but ey here I am again hehe. I was looking through my old files and found my fan fiction folder and just HAD to post it. Anyway, here it is! *P.S. if there are typos or whatevers I apologize in advance I was too lazy to edit (for now maybe).
Chapter 2: You Thought Wrong
Theme: I can't think of one yet!
Damn it why did I have to be so stupid? Of course Haruhi was gonna be a great wife, look at her. Now I have to look at the mess I made. Damn it, Kyon, damn it! I really let somebody so special slip right outta my fingers. Haruhi's stunning now, but that doesn't mean she never was to begin with. And seriously, regrets? What regrets?
I'm in my little office answering calls and filling out papers and I can't get Haruhi out of my head. Is there any way to fix this? Seriously? Can I die? Can suicide please be an option?!
*Knock! Knock!*
"Come in," it was Nagato-san. She had folders and a bunch of paperwork.
"Kyon, I know you're worked up. This isn't for you, well in terms of your job it isn't, it's for you in terms of your life."
"My life? How?"
"I gathered information from Asahina-san. I stayed up all night researching and thinking for a possible solution. Kyon, you're gonna have to force Haruhi into wanting you again. You have to make her give up on Koizumi."
"What?! I can't just have an affair with her, that's wrong! Is there any other way?"
Nagato-san put one hand on her hip on the other flat on my desk. She was dead serious right now. "Do you not realize how bad this could be? Do you not realize what could happen? Kyon you could disappear out of the blue. No Haruhi means no future for you. I'm surprised you're still here and not out there drinking. Kyon I know it's hard but you have to do it. You wanna know what else could happen? Me, and Asahina-san could disappear too. And yes, even Koizumi. This future we have right now is what we could possibly call a substitute. And what do we know about substitutes? Remember back in high school? They don't stick around forever, they will never take place of what was truly meant to be. Another red flag is that the risk of her knowing of her powers is extremely high. She'll know everything. Everybody's lives are on the line."
"You do know this is a huge responsibility you're putting upon me, right? It's hard, okay?! I can't just make Haruhi cheat on Koizumi with me. She's not like that! Haruhi is a smart woman and I know she won't fall into this temptation and shit. What you're asking from me is almost impossible, okay? Can we go back in time or something?"
Nagato-san suddenly slammed both her hands on my table, the impact sending me a few feet back on my chair. She's an alien, remember that. "Listen, we can't abuse Asahina-san's powers like that. Her and my abilities aren't at their best knowing that something's gone wrong in the course of our universe. Our lives are already fading away. This morning, I got a cut, okay? And it didn't heal, that's bad. I'm turning human. Once I'm human, I can't help you anymore and I'll disappear." Nagato-san brought her hands back to herself and sat on a nearby seat, trying to calm herself down. I fixed myself and sat back up on the desk. I ran my hands through my hair and sighed.
"I never should've let her go…" I whispered, my voice somehow breaking off. "I never should've fought with her that day. I should've asked for her forgiveness when I had the time. But why, why didn't I? I was a stupid teenager, wasn't I?"
"You know, she forgave you once you ran out that door. She never held a grudge against you, she just pretends she does just so she can see how long will it take for you to respond." Nagato-san stood up and headed for the door "By the way," she said, holding on to the handle "I lied, most of the things I left here is paperwork you have to fix and all. Have fun," well isn't that reassuring?
I'm not at my best, so, I decide to head out to get a quick drink. I'm not that much of a drinker, I just really need something to get my head out of things. As I get out of the building, I see this fancy looking car drive up. The windows roll down and I see Koizumi. That sucked…
"Kyon!" I walk to him with my hands in my pockets, not too amused. "You done with work?"
"Well I'm not the building and I have my bag so I think so."
Koizumi laughs and gives me his cocky smile. Bastard. "Come on, wanna have a drink or two? But, not at a bar. At my place, best beer you can find."
I smile back and give out a sigh "Alright, but, I thought you and Haruhi were staying at a hotel?"
"I don't like hotels, no privacy in my opinion, so, I borrowed one of the condo units a friend of mine owns."
"Hmm…okay." I get in his car and it smells like Haruhi. Did they do the nasty in here or something? Hmm...maybe she just rides along with him a lot and uses her perfume inside or, something I guess.
"So did Haruhi-chan tell you about our plans to Tokyo?" Koizumi asks, keeping his eyes on the road.
"I can see you can't call her Suzumiya-san anymore. Well, anyway, yeah she did. How is she?"
"She's the best. She's really caring too. I wake up and she has breakfast ready for me. She's changed, Kyon. And, she's a good kisser." I raise my eyebrow impressed yet also disgusted. Haruhi can't kiss a bastard like Koizumi! That's just wrong!
We get to the condo and Haruhi is there waiting at the door. She walks up closer to the car waiting for Koizumi to get out. "Hey babe," she says as she hugs him and giving him a quick kiss. Damn it, this is too much.
"Kyon's here for a drink. We won't drink too much, right Kyon?" I nod in agreement. I feel like running him over with this stupid sports car of his. Yes, I know how to drive. No, I don't own a car.
Haruhi tells Koizumi something and he goes inside. Haruhi then walks up to me with her arms crossed "Looks like I don't have to call you, huh?"
"I suppose."
"Watch over Itsuki, okay? I don't want him coming to bed drunk. I don't wanna have kids with him when he's drunk." I puke inside and try to hold back my laughter. Damn, wouldn't that be a story? Their kids will walk up to Haruhi asking about their father and she'll tell them he was drunk when they did this and that. Well…I wouldn't be drunk if I was the one with Haruhi. I would never go drinking if I had her…I…I would even take care of our kids… Holy crud, I'm going insane.
*Zzz! Zzz!*
A text message. I check my phone and it's one from Nagato-san.
Kyon, FP near. You know what to do. –Yuki N.
Damn it, heck, I wanna see what exactly they're capable of. But, looks like I wasn't careful of what I wished for. Everything froze again, everything was a dark purple, it was like, everything was dead.
Then I hear voices, they're crying. It's a baby's cry. Could it be my child's cry? I try to run away but then I hear it again. I fall to my knees and I hear the noises again. This time it's a little boy's voice. He's saying, 'Otou-san, otou-san…" over and over again. Every time I try to run away something is keeping me from doing so. The voices gang up on me, I'm seeing scenes and figures all over the place. I'm still in Koizumi's place, but it's a little different and it has a scarier feel to it.
I drop to my knees and cup my ears. The voices felt like they were piercing into my soul. I then hear the most helpful voice I can hear. I can hear Asahina-san coming towards me along with Nagato-san. I'm on my knees, I'm going mad, I'm probably sobbing, I don't know, everything is a blur. Everything is coming at me.
The sequence of events in that state wasn't exactly clear to me. A few blinks and Nagato-san is now at my face, she's trying to snap me out of this weird state but I can't, I know she's doing so but I can't. "Damn it Kyon!" and with that final attempt, she knocks me out cold.
Next thing I know, I open my eyes like I woke up from a really rough sleep. I'm still inside Koizumi's condo unit. He's a little tipsy now. I open up my palm and there's this note from Nagato-san.
Kyon, I'll explain later. Don't do anything stupid, understand? –Yuki N.
"Kyon…you really let something go…" Koizumi said, gulping down half a bottle. "How could you let someone as amazing as Haruhi…go?" he starts laughing then he lays back on the sofa.
"I, I need to use the bathroom." I stand up and I can still hear Koizumi trying to tell me where the bathroom is. I don't care, I can just find Haruhi and ask her where. Luckily, I do. Well, it's not like I wanted to go to the bathroom, I just wanted to talk to her. Looks like this whole FP thing is bad. When I spotted her, I randomly pull her into a hug.
My sudden action leaves her in shock "Kyon, are you drunk?" Haruhi asks as she tries to maintain some distance between us.
"No, no, I just felt like I really had to do this. I'm not crazy, okay? Well maybe I am but I just had to do this." I slowly release her and she's still shocked.
"Kyon, I understand you're awesome, I know that. I mean, I think we should like, not go beyond friends because, well, I'm married. I'm with Koizumi now. I like you, but, not like that." Haruhi puts her hand to her head then sighs. "Kyon, like I said, I also have my regrets. Did you get my point when I said that?"
"Well…"
"Kyon in a way I was thinking about how it would've been if I picked you and not Itsuki. I was thinking if it would've been possible. Well after what happened in high school, then maybe no, it would've been impossible. But did you do anything to make up for it? You didn't. You left me to run away with someone else when you knew that I could've been with you. I, I can't take this anymore." Haruhi left me hanging as she went upstairs, probably to the bedroom.
She's right, she always is. Why didn't I do anything to make up for what I've done? I'm such a dick. I come back to the room where Koizumi is and he's asleep. But, I still wasn't so sure. I tried to wake him up but he's really out cold. Looks like they're not doing the nasty tonight.
"Koizumi, Koizumi," I call out. He groans back but is still down "Okay, you wanna go upstairs?"
"There's only one floor…" wow, how much did he drink? I decide to move him to the couch where he can lay down properly. He smells of fancy beer which is fairly amusing. I felt like telling Haruhi I was on my way but I don't think that was the right thing to do.
Lesson learned, okay, can I wake up from this nightmare now?
Man, there were a number of parts I had to fix and add up to just so that it may seem a little clearer. Sorry, I was beaming when I wrote this. I was desperate to get to the good parts haha. Hope this chapter went well! Feel free to give a review!
