The Melancholy of Christmas Carols(Part 3)
Haruhi Suzumiya is written by Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrated by Noizi Io. I only own this story, which is used for entertainment purposes.
Time passes by as the two fall fast asleep, when suddenly another noise was heard from across the room. Kyon gets up in a flash and checks on his little sister, who also wakes up in terror. "What was that?"
"You mean it wasn't you?"
"No, do you think...?"
"Eh, it was probably the cat."
"But can our cat open doors?"
"What?" He turns to see the door was slowly opening as the voice was getting louder and louder.
They cuddle each other in fear, wondering who could be at the door. "C-could it be a robber?"
"I-I-I'm not sure..."
"I'm scared." The little sister shuts her eyes.
And then the door opens...
Turns out it was their pet cat, which for some reason is now able to open door handles with its cunning jumps and paw techniques.
"Ah, so it was the cat," Kyon sighed in relief.
"That's so cool; I wonder why it could do that now..." The sister added.
"Eh, who knows and who cares." Kyon pushes his sister off the bed and into the futon as he gets up, walks over, and checks on what it wants at this time of day. "Alright kitty, this better be good.
He starts to meow and leaves the room, he turns insisting that he follows. "Meow."
"Why do you want me to go over there? Do you want to go outside?" Kyon asked rather impatiently. Then the doorbell rings as the cat meows again. "Huh, now who the hell could be here at this time of night?"
.-.-.-.
He walks over to see who is over on the other side. "I swear if that's Taniguichi at the door pranking me I will beat the ever loving crap out of him!" He goes over to open the door and surprisingly see Mikuru standing there as soon as he opens it.
"Oh! Uh... did I come at a bad time?"
"Um, not at all Miss Asahina-san!"
"My brother is lying!" His sister called out from afar.
"Be quiet!" He whisper-yells back at her. He turned back to Mikuru to politely ask: "So anyways, what are you doing here at this time? It's almost one o' clock."
"I know... but I came here with a message. You are going to be haunted- er, visited by three ghosts, each of them will come at one, two, and three o' clock respectively."
"Wait, what? Is this for real?"
"Yes, yes it is."
"How do you know about this?"
"That's classified."
"Uh, ok then, who told you this though?"
"That's also classified."
"Can I at least get told WHY this is happening to me so early in the morning?"
"Classified, I better get going before it's too late."
"No wait, don't you want to stay in or- how about I- are you sure you'll manage on your own!?"
"Don't have time to answer, good luck Kyon, sorry for bothering you!"
"Asahina-san..."
"Big bro, who were you talking to?" His little sister asked him from the room away still.
"Um, just a friend, that's all." He closed the door and headed back to his room to nap again.
.-.-.-.
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"Shut up or I'll kick you out of the room..."
"Okay!"
Time continues to pass on by as they snoozed the night away, which is until the clock reached one o' clock.
Kyon places the pillow on top of his head in annoyance. "Cat please be quiet, I'm trying to freaking sleep!"
"Be nice to kitty, he has a name you know." The sister muttered with a pillow on her head also.
"Oh yeah, and like you aren't annoyed?" The cat continues to meow. "What could he possibly want?"
"Maybe he senses someone else's presence in the distance?"
"Oh now that's just stupid, why and how is that even possible!?"
"Then... what's up with that shadow coming through our door?"
"Wait WHAT?" Kyon soon got up and saw a familiar figure fly through the door with ease... as if it were some kind of ghost. The ghost-like figure had a nice body, long flowing orange hair, and some soft red lips. Kyon's eyes widened. "M-Mikuru?"
"Hello there, Kyon, long time no see." The woman said calmly with a smile.
"Wow, she looks really pretty, and not to mention she looks like your not proclaimed girlfriend!" The sister added.
Kyon turns to her angrily. "That's because she is not—"
"Actually, I am that Mikuru Asahina, pleasure to meet you again Kyon's sister." She greeted politely.
"Wow, how come she knows my name?" Kyon's sister asked.
"I just do, I've known you thanks to your brother."
"Alright, that's nice; anyway, what do you want?" Kyon asked rather impatiently.
"Oh right, I had almost forgotten... I am the ghost of Christmas Past, and I came here to help you get back in your Christmas spirit again."
"What, but why? It's not even close to Christmas yet! Okay, so we are technically almost in the same month but still I don't see how this is important."
"It's for the greater good that I bring you back into your normal self, you are getting too depressed and as such are losing focus on what's really important! Due to classified information, I [along with classified info] need to help you get over your Christmas hates and fears."
"B-but... I'm not afraid... and I don't hate Christmas."
"You're not being honest with yourself, come, let us begin our journey, or quest how you say, to getting you into it again." Mikuru walks over to the bed and sits down. She places Kyon's head onto her lap and tells him to close his eyes.
She turned to his sister and suggested that she do the same or else her memory of tonight will be swiped away. The sister agrees politely and quickly (thought a bit too unrealistically) as she falls onto her lap and shuts her eyes.
And that was when, the real magic had begun...
...
...
...not in that way you sickos!
