The dim glow of the city receded as the sun began its journey to the top of the sky.
I slept on the sofa that night, I let Keade spend the night in my bed, showing my kind side again.
I awoke around 6am, with a warm glow on my face, my room was in direct vision of the beautiful star itself.
I opened my eyes, closing them the second I saw the sun. It was far too bright.
I turned over, thinking I was in bed, but before I realised the error of my ways, I was already falling face first into the cold wooden floor.
I landed with a thud, again, letting my breasts take the impact, followed by my forehead.
I swore under my breath as I got up, ruffling my hair.
I stretched up in the air, grunting and moaning as any normal person does in the morning.
I was never really hungry in the morning, but I felt like eating something, or quite a lot of something.
I stumbled into the kitchen area, dragging myself along the worktops until I reached the hob.
I grabbed a frying pan and placed it on the lit hob.
I walked over to the fridge, staring at it for a while, looking for some eggs.
I cracked the eggs into the pan and watched them cook.
The 2 yolks of the egg moulded together into single yolk, leaving the egg white separated in the middle.
When they were done, I placed them on some bread, and cut them in half.
I wasn't that hungry, so I decided to bring Keade her breakfast in bed.
I grabbed 2 plates and placed the food onto both of them, with 2 pairs on thin silver knives and forks.
I picked up the plates and proceeded towards my room, the smell from the eggs making me even hungrier..By the time I opened the door, I was halfway to just eating hers before we got there.
I opened the door, and the cold air from my room hit the rest of my apartment, sending a shiver down my spine.
Keade was already awake, and was holding her hands above her head whilst in bed.
When she looked at me, she had a rather odd smile on her face, the smile which I had never seen before.
The second it connected with my face, a cold, sharp wind cut at my face, nearly sending me back a few steps.
"Good morning, Yuki!"
I sighed and entered the room with the 2 plates of steaming food.
"Morning, I brought you breakfast in bed, but done expect it very often!"
She giggled like a girl and threw up her pillow, lying back on the headboard with it.
I placed the plate in front of her, and she began eating before I even took my seat on the foot of the bed.
When I took my seat, and began eating, Keade began to talk to me.
"These are delicious Yuki!..What are they?.."
I giggled, nearly swallowing a whole chunk of egg.
"Eggs...I tried them last month, they are really good for you, so eat up!"
She demolished the whole plate of eggs in record time, getting every last piece of bread and egg she could, savouring every bite.
I finished mine, and we both placed our plates to the side of the bed.
And stared at one another.
"Its really has been a long time, Keade...what have you been doing?..We have lots of catching up to do."
She slid down the bed, her feet nearly touching my shins.
"I was responsible for the deletion of rouge Lifeforms and Humanoids."
she carried on speaking, whilst wiping her lips.
"I..It was boring, and quite sad.."
"How come?"
"All the rogue humanoids are so weak, they don't put up much of a fight...The first few thousand were a joke."
Even I was shocked..over 1000?
"I gave up after a while, I reached the highest rank in the force, but all the deleting, the killing simply wasn't worth it..It felt, like I was The one doing bad"
"So..That's why you came here?"
She nodded at me, before getting out of bed and removing her shirt.
"Then..that means...Your staying with us?.."
She turned and nodded at me before carrying on getting changed.
"That's great news!..Well, since its the weekend..How about we all go out, Me, You, Kyon and the others?"
She turned round as fast as light brightens the room and screamed her approval, nearly knocking me off the bed.
I opened my drawer, thinking about what to wear.
Short sleeved, Long sleeved, No sleeves at all...
tight fit, Loose fit, Shorts...
Sandals, baseball shoes...
So many choices...
I decided to wear some tight fit jeans, with my baseball shoes, as usual.
I also wore a short sleeved black shirt with a green jacket.
I wanted to keep warm, of course.
I phoned Kyon to ask if he wanted to come for the day out.
The phone rang for around 20 seconds before a mumbling young man picked up the phone, coughing and groaning.
"..Huh..Yuki?...What time is it?.."
A laughed heartily into the phone.
"Its about time you met me and Keade at the train station!"
I could hear him fall from his bed, landing with a loud crash on his floor.
I then heard his cat, Shamisen screech and run away.
"Be there at 10, bring Haruhi with you!"
He sighed as he got up..
"But, I thought-"
"It does not matter anymore..Haruhi is of no danger to us..If she was jealous, would she of asked how I was yesterday?"
He sighed and eventually gave up his argument, promising to be at the train station by around 10pm.
I turned to Keade, who was wearing a white short skirt with leggings and a tight black shirt.
"I studied human fashion and habits in bed yesterday.."
She giggled and went into the bathroom with me.
To brush our teeth
As I brushed my teeth, I looked to the side to see Keade copying my movements.
I stopped brushing, and so did she, causing a good laugh between the two of us.
I told her to wait by the door, I needed to finish in the bathroom.
She said she would help..for some reason..
When I finished, I went to the front door, unlocked it, left, and locked it again.
Keade ran off ahead, outside.
I stood at the door, holding my stomach..breathing in every few seconds.
"Just..2..more..days.."
I ran out, meeting Keade underneath the maple tree.
"Ironic..huh..Keade?"
She looked at me as if I had just talked complete and utter nonsense.
We carried on walking down the road towards the train station, catching the eyes of a few people as we walked down the road.
Most of them looked towards Keade, as if the world revolved around her, completely ignoring me.
We arrived at the train station at exactly 10:00am.
At 10:21 Kyon came blazing round the corner on his bike, with Haruhi screaming commands at him on the back.
Her yellow ribbons slapped against the air as a red faced Kyon grinded the bike to a halt.
He left Haruhi to lock up the bike, much to her distaste.
He came over to me, and grabbed my in a hug, kissing me on the cheek with his soft warm lips.
He grabbed my hand, and stared at me, at my eyes, only for me to stare right back at him.
He held my hand, and lifted it to his chest.
"Its been too long.."
We walked over to Keade.
"Keade, this is my boyfriend, Kyon.."
Keade looked at his feet, and worked her way up to his face.
"You seems nice, My name is Keade Tsukiko, its a pleasure to meet you, Kyon-Kun."
Kyon bowed to her, shaking her hand.
Keade grabbed his hand, and held it firmly.
"Such a firm grip.."
She held on for a few seconds, whilst staring at Kyon..Before finally letting go.
"Well, Yuki, Kyon..Haruhi..shall we all go for a drink?"
Keade's optimism was quickly shattered by Haruhi.
"Ok listen up! Were here on official club business! So keep your eyes out for anything out of the ordinary! But before that..We get some drinks!"
Keade gave Haruhi an evil stare, opening her hand and then clutching it again, she hated being bossed around, more than anything in the world.
We all followed the leader to the coffee shop next to the main road were we all took our seats, as Keade went to order the drinks.
I spoke first.
"So..what are we gonna do today?"
Haruhi stuck her head in front of my face, our noses touching.
"Your talkative..what's happened to you?.."
I couldn't think of an excuse, so I came up with one of the oldest excuses in the book.
"I was feeling a bit under the weather, family problems..But its all fixed now."
Haruhi gave me a standard nod of approval, folding her arms with her eyes closed as she sat back.
I noticed the coffee shops brown walls, green lamps and comfy beige sofas really reminded me of my home..I even thought about decorating my own home like this..
"Ok, here I come!"
Keade came round the corner with a variety of drinks balanced on a black tray.
Each of them matched our personalities (From the brief introduction she had)
Yuki Nagato – Coffee with Milk, 2 sugars and a hazelnut swirl.
Keade Tsukiko – Dark coffee with no sugar and a Bright vanilla swirl.
Haruhi – A black coffee
Kyon – Milky coffee with 1 sugar and a..Heart..shaped..Chocolate...
She couldn't, its just coincidence.
She's just being friendly..
Not that quick..surely..
paranoid..
We all sat back and drank out drinks, some more eagerly than others.
Haruhi stared at hers with a disgusted look.
Keade spoke.
"So, Kyon..How did you meet Yuki?"
Kyon laughed whilst sipping his drink.
"It was odd..The first time we met was when Haruhi kicked down the door, and inside, Yuki was sat reading"
Keade leaned onto the table, resting her chin on her hand, listening to Kyon talk.
"It just got better from there really..Right, Yuki?
Seizing this chance..
"Of course...Its been like a dream..really.."
Kyon held my hand over the table, smiling at me.
I looked over towards Haruhi, who was smiling at me, her drink was totally gone..(On the floor no doubt)
Today felt perfect, a beautiful, sunny day, all of us together..
And then..
Keade placed her hand on top of mine and Kyon's
Her catlike smile radiated from her face.
Her thumb stroked my hand.
Over, and over again.
Causing great discomfort in me and Kyon.
She took her hand away in a flash and said.
"Oh! Im so sorry, I didn't realise what I was doing!"
Kyon retracted his hand as placed it on the table, staring at Keade with inquisitive eyes.
Keade looked at me, her big round eyes full of regret and sorrow.
It may have been a trap to secure my forgiveness.
To beg and cry for sympathy from me.
I nodded at her, I'm sure it was just an accident.
The second I nodded, a smile stuck onto her face as she went back to drinking her drink.
15 Minutes passed before we all packed up and left the shop, heading for the play park to fulfil Haruhi's childish desires.
We arrived at the middle of the day, the sun beaming its heat down on us.
Birds circled the circumference of the play park, darting down and up every few seconds.
Haruhi bolted for the swing set straight away, dragging Mikuru by her collar, much to her own dismay.
Kyon began to walk away from my side slowly, wanting to stop Haruhi, but I grabbed his sleeve.
"Please..Stay with me"
The trees swayed in the silence that followed, the brittle crisp leaves crackling under the gentle wind.
The sounds of birds flying overhead, dancing throughout the vast clear blue sky.
He stumbled a bit, and turned to me, with an anxious smile on his face.
"Sure"
We went over to a small hill to the left of the play park, just behind the small crystal lake. (Its soft blue water against the light from the sun made it look clear.)
He pressed my hand against the grass, placing his on top of it.
"Its such a nice day outside..Im surprised Koizumi didn't come..But it sounded like he was far too busy."
I turned my head to the side and looked at Kyon.
He was looking at Keade on the swings and Mikuru (against her will, may I add) Pushing Haruhi on the swing next to her.
He laughed under his breath, leaning towards me slightly.
"So, about Keade..How do the two of you know each other?"
I stammered slightly before answering a rather blunt question.
"I met her when I was a child..We sort of split up..For a few years."
Oh crap..
"Well, not in that way, I mean W..We um, we had to part our separate ways."
"Ah, Ok I get it, she seems nice enough..Is she living with you?"
I fell back in shock, I wasn't expecting that!
"No No No! Its not like that, were not!-"
He grabbed my shoulders.
"Whoa whoa!..I never said anything like that Yuki..What's the matter?"
I realised this facade was going to be exposed soon...
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm just not..feeling, that well..."
He turned his head and looked back towards the swing set.
A butterfly was flying around us, in many directions, as if it were drunk on the very happiness that filled the play area.
It began to dawn on me, that Keade was going to cause some, trouble to say the very least..
I cannot say why, at the moment, if would ruin the entire point of my little story.
Just keep reading.
Haruhi rushed off to the passing ice cream van, hopping over the metal fence as she went.
Keade was busy talking to Mikuru, her red face indicating Keade was asking some rather odd questions.
Her giggling and laughing showed how easily she fit in with us, after less than 1 week, she was part of the SOS brigade, unofficially, of course.
The day carried on and on, until we parted ways.
At around 3pm
Haruhi went home with Mikuru.
And Keade and Kyon came back to my house.
When we got back, it slowly began..The backstabbing, the true side of Keade, the deceit, the pain, the hurt, the exposure of the life shattering truth.
I have one thing to say to all of this..
Let The Festivities Begin...
