Disclaimer: I do not own the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Hey guys! Sorry I that I didn't update for sooo long! I guess I just got lazy. Anyways...here's chapter 6! I hope I didn't get too rusty...

Chapter 6

I felt like a game protagonist.

I don't know why, but for some reason my very existence revolves around the troubles of other people in my lives. In the end, my objective would be the same: to solve other people's problems. First there was Haruhi. She's bossy, mean, and frankly quite annoying, but I know...we all know that deep inside of her is a misunderstood, innocent, child waiting for something special...someone special, a catalyst that will set her life on fire. She wants a spark in her life. She wants to be one in a million.

What about Nagato though?

This whole week that I was brigade leader, Nagato seemed more silent, more reclusive than usual. Her moods which were already so hard to read now seemed murkier than mud.

Did she have some alien disease or something?

"No I do not" was her answer.

My spidey senses are tingling...

"Are you sure Nagato?"

"Positive"

It was nine o'clock pm. Where was I? Nagato's apartment. Why was I here? I was worried about her. Am I getting anywhere? Nope. I arrived here at seven...and we're still not getting any progress.

Why must you be so mysterious Nagato? Well, I guess it's one of her many charms.

"You should go home"

Nagato's voice was so soft, like a cat's mew that it almost deteriorated before it reached my ears.

"Pardon me?"

"Get out of here"

I asked her to repeat the question, not make it harsher.

I sighed. I've been here for three hours. If Nagato was telling the truth then I should trust her. Somehow though, ever since I met Haruhi...I've been a little paranoid. Even what Nagato is telling me could be a lie.

However, even if she was lying, I can't just simply insist that she let me stay in her home. I have long over stayed my welcome.

I was halfway by the door when I turned around just to make sure that Nagato was indeed alright.

"Are you sure your okay Nagato?"

"Go...now"

I should just go...no...Wait...something was wrong. Nagato was never this harsh was she? She was blunt yes, and a little bit cruel, but she wouldn't just demand for something right? If she was normal maybe...but this was Nagato.

This was Yuki.

She must have sensed that I wasn't about to leave anytime soon because she stood up, and beckoned me to come to her room.

For the record, I am in no way getting excited. I didn't come here with dirty intentions; I simply want to check up on a classmate who has not been looking too well lately.

Well, okay, I did kind of wish something was going to happen.

Nagato led me to her room. It was unsurprisingly boring, but at least it was neat. It was the complete opposite of my room. My room had dirty clothes everywhere, chip bags lying around, Manga all over the place, some magazines...

No. Not those kinds of magazines mind you.

"Come. Sit down."

Nagato sat down on her bed and made room for me to sit down. As I sat down, I noticed that it was getting incredibly hot in here.

"Kyon...do you remember...last summer?"

Last summer...nothing special really happened...

Wait.

Nagato...are you saying...

Last summer could only mean, that memorable...that painfully memorable endless summer. Haruhi never wanted her vacation to end. The only way to break her haunting spell was to do our summer homework.

"Nagato you can't mean that..."

Nagato nodded, her short silver hair bouncing up and down like she did so.

"This week is the 14, 214th time that you won the cross dressing contest, and took the title of Brigade Chief"

I remember when I was a kid, I accidently wet myself whenever I watch a horror movie, even when it sucked, and I'd always pee myself.

Fortunately, I'm older now.

Unfortunately...I almost crapped myself.

"What the...how did this..."

I was speechless.

"In 13, 987, we had a cross dressing contest. In all 14, 214 iterations, you had won the title of Brigade chief. In 2, 676..."

"No Nagato...no more..."

I rubbed my forehead. I had been sweating profusely and I didn't even notice.

I looked at Nagato. She looked calm and collected. No...There was a hint of sadness in her doll like face. She was lonely...Nagato looked like Haruhi before she started the SOS Brigade. Nagato was bored. An endless loop of time...again...for a second time.

Poor Nagato...how much are you hurting? How much are you suffering?

I looked at her blank face. If she wanted to cry, smile, or just freak out...she couldn't. Damn it, why don't you just cry Nagato? Why won't you just yell, and scream and say that life is totally unfair, that life is a bitch?

Haruhi...why would you do this to us?

Wait a second...how come I didn't notice the change, how come I didn't sense that we have been living the same week 14, 214 times? Wasn't there a feeling of Déjà vu? Wasn't my instinct screaming at me, yanking my chain over the edge of insanity?

"Nagato...what's going on?"

"I told you. We have been repeating this week..."

"No Nagato!" Oh crap...I didn't mean to raise my voice. "...whose fault is this, Haruhi's? Or is it some unknown enemy you haven't told me about?"

Nagato looked at me with tired and weary eyes. They looked like the eyes of a stoic, a nun.

With one finger, the SOS Brigade's resident alien laid down the hammer of judgement.

It pointed towards...

"It is you. It is your fault..."

Me...

...wait, me?

"Nagato, what is the meaning of this?"

This time, I didn't care if I raised my voice or not. It seemed like somehow, this was all Nagato's fault. No...This isn't Nagato; it's some evil clone that the radical counter part of the Data Over mind sent to destroy me, the only one who can influence Haruhi's arcane powers.

Damn it...that can't be right. Ugh..I can't get my thoughts straight.

Me...My fault...14, 241 times...

...that's what Nagato said right?

"Why...how is this my fault?" I said, my voice sounded choked up, and raspy. I desperately wanted water.

"You never wanted this week to end...the week you became Brigade Leader..."

How did I...I thought Haruhi was the only one who could...I'm just a regular kid right?

"...and you never wanted it to end. The week you fell in love..."

Okay, after like two months, I snapped out of my laziness...I hope this new instalment didn't turn out too horribly wrong? Anyways, please review, I need your opinions too make sure that I'm in the right track!

Cheers!
