Hello my name is... impossible
Haruhi's POV-
Could it be true? Kyon was actually John Smith? Of course it couldn't be true it was impossible! Kyon, like me, was a freshman (soon to be sophomore) but John had been wearing the North High uniform four years ago he should have graduated by now. Well... he does look like what I remember John looking like, and their voices are at least similar.
Why didn't he tell me before now? I asked myself, when I failed to come up with an answer I asked Kyon aloud.
"I was saving it as a 'worst case scenario' type thing to make you believe everything else I knew about that you didn't, but since you died I don't think it'll be much of a problem if you know about everything," he said with a casual shrug.
"There's more?" He's been keeping some pretty cool secrets from me, hasn't he?
Kyon waited a moment as though he were thinking about what to say, but what he wound up saying made no sense at all, "Eh, do you hear that sound?"
"Don't try and change the subject! What kind of secrets are you keeping?" I started to say but I was only about halfway through it when I noticed that Kyon had become transparent and changed it to, "What's going on? At least give me a warning before you start to disappear!"
"Disappearing? Well it looks like I'll have to tell you everything next time, if we ever meet again," His expression was sad but his voice was hopeful.
"What do you mean 'if we meet again'? Of course we will!" I shouted.
Just as he became impossible to see I could hear him say, "In that case, I look forward to seeing you."
I didn't reply because I knew he was already gone.
Kyon's POV-
I was in my room (normal version) once again and Haruhi was no where in sight. I didn't take me very long to realize the sound I'd heard while I was dreaming was my annoying alarm clock. It took even less time to realize that the dream I'd had last night more or less wasn't really a 'dream' but what else could I call it. And it took me virtually no time at all to realize I wouldn't be getting back to sleep anytime soon.
Had Haruhi's spirit visited me in the middle of the night to talk to me? Something so clique could never happen in real life, much less mine.
My life will go on as usual even without Haruhi I suppose, assuming the world isn't going to blow up any moment now.
I laughed at myself for having such a ridiculous life. Before I took advantage of my getting up early and began to get ready for school.
"Me? Carry on her 'legacy'? Why on earth did she pick me?" I mumbled to myself, "Someone else can do it, I refuse."
After having gotten ready for School I left the house and began walking up the hill that I walk up every single day just to early pay any attention in school. I didn't run into Taniguchi or anyone along the way like I often did, but that doesn't matter I didn't really want to see him anyway.
In class I sat in my usual second to last desk, I didn't even bother to check the desk behind me, knowing that no one would be there. I mean She died yesterday... or this morning... and I'd confirmed it myself, Why bother denying it but looking to see if she was there. Or at least that's what I'd been thinking, but honestly, I should've looked back. Unfortunately I found that out a little bit too late.
By the end of the last period I was a little more than half asleep, and happily so until a gentle punch on the back jerked me into awareness. I took a moment to process before realizing what was wrong.
... from the back?
I turned to once again see Haruhi Suzumiya... but she also wasn't my Haruhi. This Haruhi had long flowing hair, that the one Haruhi know cut long ago, tied back into a stunning ponytail that caught me off guard and made my mind go blank in an instant. After recovering I took a closer look at her face, and saw a obvious expression of anger, which equally as obviously meant nothing good for me.
"You've been ignoring me all day! Tell me why now!" She said in her usual demanding tone.
"um.. I have to go to the bathroom!" I shouted, just trying to find an excuse to ditch her. Leaving the classroom I immediately ran to the clubroom without taking a single breath.
My thoughts were utter chaos as I knocked on the door. What's going on? Haruhi is here! Didn't she die? I thought so but I guess she came back. What that's stupid? You're the one talking to yourself. Yeah, well so are you.
I was saved when I heard Mikuru say her usual, "Come in," with her usual cheery yet shy tone. Who knows how much longer I would have been in that childish argument with myself if she hadn't interrupted. I opened the door with an explosive sound. I quickly scanned the room to see that the other three members had already managed to get here.
"Haruhi is Alive?" I shouted loud enough that the computer club next door could probably hear me.
Koizumi was the first to respond, "Well of course she is, what would have caused you to think otherwise?"
I explained the events that had occurred until the end of the first chapter. Everyone listened with confused expressions (well mostly Mikuru, Koizumi had stuck with his signature mysterious smile, and Nagato kept her default nearly emotionless expression.)
"Are you sure it wasn't just a dream?"
"I'm sure," I replied. Of course I'm sure! My mind isn't sick and twisted enough to imagine that!
"But last night around that time Haruhi and I had been on a date," Koizumi said with the most devious smile I'd seen yet.
A date! Koizumi and Haruhi were dating, Since when? On that note when did he start calling her "Haruhi" instead of "Suzumiya". Am I crazy or... wait this has happened before hasn't it? The world has changed and I'm the only one with the original memories, or maybe I really have managed to cross into a parallel universe this time. None of that matters, I just want the world to go back to the way it was, at least then I halfway understood it!
And that's when Haruhi (II) came into the room.
