The Status of Suzumiya Haruhi- Chapter 3
((DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything in regards to Suzumiya Haruhi))
I jumped and ran into Nagato from the side. We both would of nearly toppled over if it hadn't been for her steady stance. Asahina-san stood next to the classroom window, her eyes tightly clamped shut, cowering from us. We apparently startled her pretty bad because tears were glistening in her eyes. Oh how I wanted to embrace her…
"Asahina-san, it's me and Nagato," I said, trying to reassure her. She stopped her quivering and slowly opened her eyes to look at us.
"K-kyon-kun…!" she muttered. "I thought you were someone bad…" No, just Nagato and I. No boogie man with a ratchet. "Thank goodness…" Nagato and I walked around the tables over to her. "Why are we here? I could of sworn we were in the club room…" she asked, looking back out the window. "I remember an earthquake and hiding under the table. But then I woke up and found myself in my second year classroom… and it was dark and I was scared." Dangit, I wanted to comfort her so badly! But not now… must resist.
"Where's Koizumi?" I asked, trying to ignore the emotions flowing through me right now. Asahina-san wiped her eyes before looking up at me.
"Koizumi-kun is here too?" Asahina-san asked.
"Yup. Apparently quite a few people are here."
"Eh?! Is Suzumiya-san here too?"
"According to Nagato, no. But she's linked to the matter," I replied.
"Who else is here?" Asahina-san asked, pulling at her uniform sleeve nervously.
"Tachibana, Kyoko, Suou, Kuyoh,, Kimidori,, Emiri and Fujiwara," Nagato said indifferently.
"W-who are they? I know Emiri-san… but the others…"
"An esper, time traveler, and an alien," I said. I watched her eyes widen in shock as I said that.
"Esper? Alien? Time traveler? Are they bad?" I looked over at Nagato, hoping she could answer better.
"Two friendlies and one hostile. Suou, Kuyoh is the hostile," she said for me. "We must find Koizumi, Itsuki." Is he in danger? Although I don't really care, for the sake of Asahina-san standing here, I'd better ask. "Not at the moment." Then I guess we're off aren't we? Lead the way, Nagato. After all, you're the only one who can find this annoying guy the fastest.
We walked down through the school building together, Asahina-san gripping the back of my jacket fearfully. I bet if I just said 'boo', she'd fall down right where she stood and scream or cling to me tightly. The latter not such a bad prospect to think about. The rhythm of our footsteps on the cold tile floor cut into the air loudly, echoing throughout the halls. Nagato rounded the corner before us and we heard someone say,
"Aah! Nagato-san. It's you." I felt Asahina-san's grip tighten from behind and stop, rooted to the spot, jerking me to a halt as well. Turning back to look at her, I saw her looking fearfully at the corner.
"W-who is it…?" she whispered to me. I looked around the corner for her and spotted Nagato standing before Koizumi. He spotted me and said,
"Oh, Kyon. So you're here too, huh? Where's Asahina-san?" Behind me holding tightly to my jacket. "Ahh. I should of known." I turned back to face Asahina-san, who looked up at me.
"It's just Koizumi," I reassured her. She stepped forward and took a peek around the corner and let out a sigh of relief.
"I thought it was the bad person…" Asahina-san mumbled before emerging around the corner with me.
"This situation seems to be one of the worst case scenarios we were hoping not to run into," Koizumi said gravely. "Although my power works somewhat decently here, I fear it won't be of much good. And I can't contact any of my colleagues within this closed space. I hope Nagato-san has an idea of how to rectify our predicament?" Nagato looked down at the floor before her without moving.
"I have already installed programs that will help rectify the problem. I am broadcasting a data tributary from the inside right now." What? "Tunneling out." Oh, okay. That makes sense. Sort of… Asahina-san stood there with her mouth agape while staring at Nagato.
"How long will this 'tunneling out' program need to run?" Koizumi asked. Nagato blinked.
"Approximately fifteen minutes."
"Y-you mean…" Asahina-san stuttered, clenching tighter to the back of my jacket. "We have to stay in this place for fifteen more minutes…?" A minor nod from Nagato answered Asahina-san's question. "Aaaah…" moaned Asahina-san. Don't worry! I will comfort you!
As I was about to lose my self control and hug Asahina-san's quivering body, Nagato lifted up her hand and pointed towards the entrance to the school campus.
"We have company." All of us turned our gazes to the direction Nagato pointed and I gave a start. Koizumi gave a small exclamation of surprise, while Asahina-san whimpered and shut her eyes tightly. Before us stood three people- staring directly at us. It's as if you could feel a menacing glow radiate from the one standing in the middle. Why does this happen to me?
((Argh, sorry for the late update. I got kinda distracted with a picture I made and a roleplay I just thought up. SO! Here is the third chapter for this story! Ehehe A little fight's gonna break out soon enough. It's hard to depict a conversation with Koizumi thrown into the mix. He's just super hard to write. xo This one's a bit short, but the next one should be eventful that I might end up cutting it in half just to mess with ya. Hehe Anways, look out for chapter four!))
