Mikuru has got to have a dark side to her. Logic points to it.

Mikuru's PoV.

Chapter IV: A Glimpse Behind The Moé

Ha, ha! I have those idiots all fooled! I've actually managed to make them believe I was an over the top clumsy moé character! It was so obvious that this was not the case. I mean, who in the freaking universe naturally acts like me when I'm in disguise? Then again, I can't blame them; I'm a master actor. That's what shook that annoying Mr. Smiley off my trail after a while. He was right when he said to Kyon that I wasn't who I let on to be.

They're all so stupid, thinking that my superiors would send an inexperienced and low ranking agent to be part of our target's idiotic club. No, that's definitely not the case, as I actually was the most qualified for the job above all other candidates for the mission. I've been trained both physically and mentally beyond what normal humans could endure and I'm talking about the people of my own time. I'm still young too. Hell, they even think I'm clueless as to what's going on for most of the time. I'M FROM THE FUTURE DUMBASSES! Do you REALLY think I don't know what's going on?

Heh, heh, heh. Well, I must be doing something right. I hold an irreplaceable spot next to our target and I've maintained my disguise despite there being other "supernaturals," all around me, especially more of Koizumi's allies.

I glanced over at the bibliophilic Humanoid Interface.

Except there's the Nagato and co. problem. The Data Integrated Thought Entity (DITE) and its operatives have known about my true intentions and identity from the very start. It's a miracle they haven't exposed me, especially Nagato. I always get really uneasy around her because I know she just has to say a few words and my mission will be ruined. Hell, she doesn't even need to speak to get her points across. She sometimes stares at me, as if mocking me and saying, "You can't do anything to me bitch. When this turns into a shit fight, and it will, I've got you by your balls." Well, now I'm quoting Avatar. She wouldn't actually think that would she? Maybe. She's always so damn quiet. She's probably simply saying, "Don't cross me."

But it's not just because she could expose me that I'm nervous of her. Even with all our advanced technology, DITE's knowledge and power is terribly awesome. It could end us with ease. Even a single Humanoid Interface could cripple our operations here. Meh, whatever. DITE's pretty much our ally right now, thanks to my connection with Nagato. Despite her close friendship with Kyon, she still adheres pretty strictly to her mission of observation and non-interference.

The Sky Canopy Dominion and its allies are a whole different story. It was just because of my misjudgment of that sneering bastard's indecisiveness that I made a mistake, leading to that embarrassing incident. I was nearly demoted.

Speaking of embarrassing, that idiot, our target Haruhi, publicly humiliates and molests me on a regular basis. It's so degrading… so freaking infuriating. I can't fight back because 1) I'm supposed to be moé, and 2) despite my training, she's still ridiculously strong with martial arts training. Gah! I hate her. She's just a clueless, idiotic jerk with stupid dreams. Does she even know that no one likes anything she does? She's a mega blockhead.

What annoys me more is Mr. Smiley's fake and ridiculously annoying smile that is so FREAKING annoying! I mean seriously, you smile all the freaking time that it just pisses the hell out of me. Have I mentioned how annoying it is? I just want to beat the crap out of him. I could do it too. Just a few jabs here and a hard squeeze there and he'd be in a great deal of pain. And in a wheelchair.

Then there's Kyon. He only wants to help me out because I'm his eye candy. And yeah, that's right, I know you have a secret folder of me in compromising positions. You perv. But at least you're pretty decent and tolerable. I have no quarrel with you. You just have to stay clueless.

But you, Haruhi and Koizumi, I will have my revenge. Oh, yeah, I SWEAR it. I come from the future, and I know all your secrets. Everything is predetermined, and I know just how to mess you up.

But wait…

I've already gotten my revenge. I've messed with your timeline and preserved the future. That's evident because my awesomely manipulative future self exists. Ha, ha! I've won before things even started. Besides, I've already fooled everyone (minus Nagato) into thinking I am a klutzy, cowardly moé character. That should be opportunity enough for me to mess with everyone.

But enough about my personal desires for revenge. I'm on a mission to preserve the timeline and make sure things play out how they're supposed to.

… Well, except for the occasional (fine, often) tweaks to the continuity that benefits us. It really helps when we know exactly what is going to happen and when it's going to happen so long as no powerful "supernatural" phenomena interfere (such as Haruhi and Nagato).

…

… Huh? Crap. That stupid ape Haruhi's coming.

"Mikuru!" the girl kicked in the door as she said that. That door must be military grade or something to have survived all this abuse. Oh god. She has a shopping bag. "I think it's time we have a wardrobe change!"

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-

A/N: The notion that Mikuru is actually not the moé character we know and love is frighteningly possible.
