Koizumi is taking Kyon and Kyonko somewhere. Where will they go? In other news, what events will unfold about Kyonko's choice?
"Koizumi where the hell are you taking us?" I had to ask, it's still lunch.
"Don't worry, I'm just showing you what's going on", he replied nonchalantly.
All of the sudden the world went gray. I remember this place.
"Closed Space." Kyonko murmured.
Why is there a Closed Space so close to the school?
"Do you see those Red Shinjin Kyon?"
"What Red Shin- WHAT THE HELL?" Out of nowhere a Red Shinjin appeared right in front of us. But at the same time a Blue Shinjin appeared out of nowhere.
"Koizumi, what the hell is going on?" I asked, fearing those 2 idiots are going to destroy the world.
A sultry, yet girlier voice entered my ears.
"Maybe you should look again Kyon."
"ITSUKO?" screamed Kyonko; why is she surprised anyway? They are in an alternate universe, or am I in theirs?
I looked back at the Red and Blue Shinjin. Something I noticed was the fact that the Blue Shinjin was stopping the Red one in its tracks.
"Do you know who's Shinjin is which Kyon?" Itsuko asked.
"Red is Haruki and the Blue is Haruhi. But why are they fighting each other?"
Koizumi answered, "My theory is that Haruhi is calming down Haruki. And she's doing pretty well I may add, because you should look around now."
The normal atmosphere of the school was back. Did it mean Haruhi stopped the Closed Space?
Itsuko looked down in the Courtyard, and there was Haruhi and Haruki sitting together. We were on the second floor so she couldn't see us. But they were talking.
"We should listen Kyon. Maybe we'll find out what just happened." Better yet, tell me why is she touching him like that.
Haruhi is loud but she was trying to be quiet now, which meant something was going to happen. I wish I knew what, but when ever our "God" deviates from the normal status quo I rightfully deserve, all hell seems to break loose.
"You know Haruki, maybe you should move on!" I looked at Haruki, and he was slumped over I can probably see why. He thinks I stole Kyonko.
Don't ask how I got that theory.
"Why should I, I mean why aren't you worried about Kyon!" He sounded indignant and obviously angry no matter how much he hid it.
"I am worried about him, but he doesn't notice anything, hes always looking at Mikuru's breasts or somewhere with Yuki every damn time. I gave up trying to get him because he would never give a damn about me."
What the hell do you mean I never gave a damn? Did she already forget the baseball tournament? Or when Yuki malfunctioned? Or the other time-
"Kyon, let's get outta here. " Itsuki snapped me out of my trance, but I decided not to move. I wanted to hear more.
"Fine, if you're not going to move I'll drag you." Kyonko said in a deadpan even I should be proud of.
"Wait, What the-?"
For a small girl she is damn strong for pulling me through the hallway.
"Im going to class now, if you want to be dragged down the stairs I'm going to pull you down it." Oh hell no, if someone sees me the rumors will continue.
"Alright, alright, damn, at least let me dust off." My clothes looked like shit now that I had been dragged over 5-6 class room lengths to the stairs.
*BRRRRINNG*
Lunch ended so quickly. I didn't even have time to eat anything.
We ran into class with only a minute to spare and Haruhi and Haruki came running in after. He seemed more calm than during lunch but when he looked at me it was like returning to the day I met Haruhi. Why must everything involving her get me dragged into it?
After school we all met in the club room. Being the size of basically 2 super utility closets that only a janitor could be proud of, it was cramped as hell.
The time was 4:30, and most of the guys in our the class stayed after school. They stayed just to find out who she would go out with? Well, I guess it must be interesting for them.
"So Kyonko, I like the look of your new boy toy." Itsuko purred while playing with her ponytail.
"Damn it, I told you he isn't my boyfriend!"
"I never said that. " She stuck her tongue out in a playful way. She turned to me "It's ok I don't mind sharing!" Her expression didn't change.
Her face then approached Kyonko's and just before her tongue touched, Kyonko pushed her away.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOT?" Kyonko yelled at the top of her voice. "AND STOP BLOWING ON MY EAR!"
"Nothing!" Itsuko said playfully and walked up to me. She whispered, "You lucky dog, she's going to let you lick her. Not in that way of course."
I want to kill her but I could see something else next to my eye...
*SMACK* "Kyon, what are you doing?" Haruhi asked as she walked in with Haruki
I jerked out of that trance, rubbing my head. "What in the world did you smack me with?"
"That wasn't Haruhi smacking you. That was me Kyon. You're an idiot. A very stupid idiot." Kyonko's voice sounded slightly cold.
"Yuki… who's the guy?" Haruhi looked surprised.
When did Nagato get in here? Or was I too distracted by the other 3 girls to notice?
The guy stood up. In a quiet yet firm voice, "My name is Yuuki Nagato, I am also a transfer student in this school and Yuki's cousin. Our parents had a fondness for snow, but didn't want to confuse whos child was whos. "
What kind of lame excuse was that?
Everyone but Haruhi, Haruki and the Nagato's looked at each other. Well it looks like everyone from both universe but Asahina has been seen.
"Has anyone seen Mikuru around?" Everyone nodded. I was slightly disappointed, but there was so little room in here I really doubt she would be much more than a inconvenience.
I leaned closer to Kyonko, "What does the male Asahina-san look like?"
The reaction was something I never expected.
A full on blush was slowly covering her and I could feel the heat of her embarrassment from my position.
Wait… if the female Asahina had big breasts… then doesn't that mean….
"Kyonko, don't tell me. He has a big-" She covered my mouth
"Don't tell everyone!" She has a point, if Haruhi would have found out then bad bad things would happen.
In that moment, also if Haruki is just a male Haruhi then what the hell has he done with male Asahina?
"Haruki has done shameful things to Asahina-san… Kyonko has seen them all. Shes probably thought of them at night… in her bed" Itsuko was standing next to us.
INDECENT THOUGHTS! INDECENT THOUGHTS! God damn it, why is she more openly perverted than Itsuki?
Haruhi looked outside. "Kyon, why are all the guys from our class waiting outside?"
What time is it?
"Its 4:59. Make a choice, or the guys are going to maul you, Kyon."
Koizumi… I hate you.
Kyonko looked irritated, "Ugh, I wanted more time!"
The 2 dunces pushed us out and dragged us downstairs.
"What the hell are you doing? I still need to make a choice!" Kyonko was trying to stall with all her might, but it proved useless.
The guys surrounded the 4 of us right after we left the doors.
"Well, what's your choice?" a familiar voice called.
Taniguchi what the hell are you doing here?
"Isn't it obvious, she's picking Kyon, look who's arm she's holding!"
Sure enough she was hiding behind me and holding my arm like a security blanket.
"Get off me will ya?" I tried to shake Kyonko off.
"Nope."
"You're making a scene…" The guys had the evil eye and I can feel a killing presence invading my space, LET GO OF ME WOMAN!
"Well then, I better make this one a better scene."
What?
Right after that last thought, I totally forgot what the world looked like for a moment.
A warm feeling touched my lips.
I regained control of my body and embraced her.
The perfect scene to get these guys off me.
Shes kissing me. This small girl, who I met only hours ago, is kissing me.
I should feel lucky, but there are 2 things wrong with this scene.
First of all, we are still in the middle of a group of jealous guys who would gladly tear me apart.
Second, What will happen to the world once Haruhi sees this? I know Haruhi is crazy, but she's still a normal girl with some kind of emotion, no matter how warped they might be.
When she was jealous the world almost came to an end. Now, I think she'll go all the way.
At least my last moments were kissing a girl that is reasonably cute, and not watching the whole thing.
The warmth left my lips and an unexpected blush came over me.
"Well I can reasonably say that Kyonko and Kyon are now officially a couple. Now all of you, leave the lovey-dovey couple in peace."
Koizumi, you bastard, we are not a lovey-dovey couple.
"Kyon, will you stop embracing your new girlfriend so I can talk to you?"
Why was I still holding her?
Koizumi then lead me around the corner and had his serious face on. Though, from an outsiders point of view, maybe he wasn't looking so serious after all.
Considering he's most likely the guy who would tell me if Haruhi decided to destroy the world, I might as well listen.
"You should already know the implications of these turn of events."
"Obviously. How long until the world gets rewritten?"
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. There haven't been any closed spaces activated."
"Why?" This was surprising. That kiss a few moments ago meant nothing to Haruhi, even though me playing with Asahina caused the near collapse of reality, this does nothing?
I'm beginning to have different thoughts about Haruhi's relationship with Asahina at this point in time.
" I'm beginning to believe it was due to the Gender doubles that we've seen of ourselves. If anything it means she's stabilizing."
"Is this a good thing? Or do I have to worry about some other universal entity that could wipe us all out?"
"It's a good thing, yes, but theres still the fact that the Gender doubles are possibly our differentiated gender clones."
Which means we might be attracted to… ourselves?
"So is there a point to it?"
"Hmm I don't know actually."
Could you be any more confusing?
"Let's head back up Kyon, Haruhi might want a talk with you."
"Oh man, if she complains one more time about the way I kiss-"
"Where are you getting that from? I was talking about tomorrow. You know its Friday, right?"
What the hell was I trying to say? I mean seriously, that event was nothing more than a dream, I remember NOTHING.
"If all goes well, you might get a free date."
Koizumi then looked at me and narrowed his eyes.
"But be careful what you do, remember there still is the chance you 2 are just clones of differentiated genders. So nothing dirty okay?"
I ought to smack him for making such an idea. No, it's probably better to gut punch him.
"Ah, Kyon you took your sweet ass time."
Why is Haruhi out here in the Hallway, and why is Haruki holding her bag? And how long have they been there?
"Considering you 2 are a couple, finally, do you want to go on a double date with Haruki and I?"
Eh? I cannot comprehend what she just said.
"We'll go. On one condition." I turn around. Why does Kyonko have to help me now?
"And what is this condition Kyonko?" Haruhi seemed very interested. Then again maybe she's being mischievous again. The faces are the same.
"You have to let Kyon and I choose one place to go."
"For what reason? I'll have you know that I choose fun places!"
"Yes, yes but it's better if you let us have a little fun on our date."
Haruhi thought for a moment. Then Haruki interjected,
"If she does accept your condition, where are you going to go?"
"That's between me and Kyon."
We decided nothing!
"Then its decided. We'll see you tomorrow at 9am at the Coffee Shop."
Why am I not able to say anything?
Haruhi and Haruki left without saying another word.
"Well now, there's your Saturday plan, Kyon.", Koizumi chuckled.
"Oh shut up." I turned to Kyonko, "By the way, where are we going on Saturday?"
"Somewhere. I had a place in mind, but I want to talk to you about it later."
" Alright fine, not like I really had a choice."
We returned to our classroom and see both Nagatos sitting on opposite sides of the rooms.
I spoke up, "May I ask why you are still here, Yuki?"
"Haruhi and Haruki decided that it was best to leave the new couple in peace."
So she is jealous.
Koizumi then stepped forward. "Yuki or Yuuki, please tell me if you've seen any abnormalities within the universes within the last couple of days."
Stop talking about that, I want to go home.
Yuuki then put his book down, and looked at all of us in the eyes. His eyes were as purple as Yuki's and the same intense depth as she had.
Maybe we are just gender clones.
"When I awoke today, I was put into this universe. No data has been manipulated by any of the Suzumiya's at that time. The most recent event of abnormalities within the time space spectrum of data after awakening has been during lunch, when it was presumed that Haruki or Haruhi made a Closed space."
Or both at the same time.
Yuki then stood up. "My superior then presumes that the 2 universes have melded together, all without interrupting the data. However there are flaws within this theory. First of all, we have not seen gender opposites of everyone, which means people have disappeared completely. But that is not possible as we would have noticed significant changes to the amount of Data within this universe."
This techno stuff is making my head hurt.
"So in response to those flaws, this –"
"Stop." No more techno babble for today. "I don't want to hear anymore about the damn theory already."
"But its pertains to the gender doubles that have appeared."
… Please stop. But I can't get myself to say that.
"Go on."
"In response to those flaws my superior, who is also Yuuki's superior in the other universe, is beginning to think that the absence of a substantial number of people, yet no change in data points to a few things."
"Those are?"
"One, Haruhi is able to change the universes at her whim. Same with Haruki also, but the main difference is, his group is in our world not vice versa.
Two, if they had both wished for the same thing, then the one with a stronger will had to have changed the other's universe more when they merged."
Koizumi interjected, "So does that mean the cause for the stagnant change in data is because Haruhi changed their universe more than Haruki did to ours?"
"Correct. Haruhi wanted to meet her gender double more than Haruki. So, in theory, his whole universe was changed into Haruhi's."
Yuuki then started talking. "Third, because of the fact that no new data was created or destroyed, the gender doubles are in fact-"
Right at that moment Yuki and Yuuki synchronized their voices. It was in a creepy monotone I won't forget in a while.
"not our clones."
I opened my mouth to say something, but I was more surprised at the overall outcome of this conversation.
Yuki then looked at Kyonko and I, and said, "But this is only merely a theory. We cannot prove nor disprove this theory."
Why does everyone assume I want to do things with her?
Kyonko and I left the school around 5:30, mulling over the events of this day.
As we walked down the damned hill, I was in a small daze. Genderbending, Relationships, Dating, and god knows what else piling on in one giant sandwich.
I could have walked home in that same daze but Kyonko, fortunately, broke me out of it.
"Hey Kyon, do you mind if we go to the Karaoke place downtown?"
Never was a fan of Karaoke, but hey, if she wants to go be my guest.
"No, I'd rather go there last so at least I won't have to embarrass myself in public."
"Alright then."
After reaching the block where my house is, I realized something. Where the hell is she going to live?
"Hey where do you live?"
"Right there."
Stop pointing at my house.
"Ugh, we live in the same house?"
"No, that's where I lived. Now I have nowhere to go to."
I'm a gentleman, but how the hell am I going to convince my parents she needs to stay here?
"Don't worry your head Kyon, I'll take care of your parents. They were mine too." She then did a little wink towards me, and I promptly blushed.
"Ha, boys. Got to give some props to Itsuko, she taught me that."
"Hmm, I was wondering why the guys started going for Itsuko right after that little event."
"Hahaha."
Hmm maybe this relationship won't be that bad after all.
AN: Ha, long chapter that effectively DOUBLES the story length. Someone made a review and I already had planned on getting longer, but not this long XD! Oh well. Something people might realize is the fact that Itsuko effectively disappeared from the story, even though she was there for over half of the events. Shes more of a background person at this moment, but she, like other characters, will be important nearing the end of this story. Also, Mikuru will not appear til around the end, so please, place crackpot theories in your reviews, it would be funny to see what you think! Yes, the plot is thickening, but I've been needing to take breaks over this summer due to College classes and Trips out of the wazoo. So I promise I'll release the 4th chapter within the next month, but if I don't expect it by September.
Please keep reviewing! Can't improve without criticism, and one review is abysmal! T_T
