Chapter 6: Tea

Tsuruya had her hair cut when I saw her today, I wanted to talk to her but she only thought I was some creeper in this universe. Asahina was comforting her while she was crying, I'm sure she'll be fine.

"Kyon!" A voice called from behind me. Tsuruya! How does she know my name, we've never met here, plus she's an upperclassman, why should she know a first year's name.

"What do you want?" I asked nervously. I was scared of Tsuruya, she almost beat me up that one time when… never mind.

Tsuruya walked towards me. "I'm so sorry I tried to beat you up that one time. Right now, I just want to be friends with you." I looked at Asahina, who was a few meters away, Asahina nodded her head. Tsuruya really wanted to be friends with me. I looked into her eyes, full of hope and a tint of sadnee, they were almost glowing because of the tears.

"Of course I want to be friends." Tsuruya gasped and satarted to jump up and down. She looks like a girl who was just asked out by the hottest guy in school. Tsuruya ran over to Asahina. They started to talk and right before they turned the corner in the hallway, Asahina winked at me. What was that suppose to mean?

….

After school I walked to the literature club room, but no one was in there. One of Asakura's close friends, Kunzaku Nomura died a few days ago, right after she finished talking to him on the telephone. That was probably why she was skipping.

I decided to stay in the room to think for a few minutes. I've been having some strange images happening in my brain ever since Monday. I've been seeing Asakura with an evil smile, my sister with her head cracked open, and Tsuruya in a nightgown holding an axe. I really hope these images mean nothing.

I left the clubroom and waiting directly in front of the room was, Mikuru Asahina.

"Tsuruya loves you" That was pretty straightforward, Asahina. "Her holidays were horrible, she just wants one week that is amazing." I hold up my hand to stop her from speaking.

"I'm not going out with Tsuruya, Asahina." Mikuru made a pouting face, God, she's cute. At that minute, my phone rang.

"Kyon, Itsuki asked me out! Meet me at Kouyou park right now!" Haruhi hung up. I was curious to see what was going on, but I didn't want to leave Mikuru hanging. But her pout turned into a smile.

"It was that girl who dragged me into that club wasn't it? You can go, I'll discuss this with you later." I waved and said thank you.

The park wasn't far from the school, so I ran there. Why was I so excited about this. Suddenly, I started hearing footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Mikuru running, and she zoomed right past me.

I continued to run until I reached the park. There I saw Haruhi, talking to Asahina. I walked towards them.

"Kyon, this girl is simply wonderful!"

"Kyon, Haruhi, would you like to have tea at my place? It's right across the street." I really didn't want to go to Mikuru's place, she'll just talk to me about Tsuruya, but of course A Haruhi says yes.

…...

After we wait a while for the tea, Mikuru finally brings it to us. Haruhi swipes the cup off the cup nd gulps the whole thing down in a couple seconds.

"That was so…" Haruhi stopped in mid sentence and started to cough, the cough became violent and she started to cough blood. What the Hell! Her body then fell to the floor as she tried to get up.

"Poison is the best way to kill." Mikuru took a sip of her tea. She said it so very casually it was hardly like she was affected by Haruhi falling down.

I grabbed Haruhi's wrist. No pulse! Mikuru Asahina really killed Haruhi Suzumiya!
