"Kyon… Kyon… Hey, Kyon…"

A voice was made, as he woke up. His eyes opened and saw Haruhi, sitting by his side. He was on a bed, with a bandage on his head. He returned from the Maiden World that the Maiden Mikuru caused.

Haruhi smiled, "Had a good rest, Kyon?"

She was completely worried about him. Koizumi and Nagato were also there, from far away.

"Where am I?" He groaned, as he got up.

Haruhi said, "The nurse's office."

Koizumi said, "Haruhi found you outside. She left home and saw you on the sidewalk, all banged up. You got a welt on your face."

"It was all a nightmare!" He cried, "I was in a crazy world! And… You were there… but you were all destroyed."

Haruhi hugged Kyon and sobbed, "Don't ever leave me… I didn't want to lose you, like always. I'm sorry."

Koizumi asked her, "Miss Suzumiya, would you wait outside, please? I need to talk to him."

Haruhi nodded, "Right. I need some time to think." and left.

Koizumi remarked, "You went to a Maiden World, right?"

Kyon groaned, "I know… and everyone I knew were like it, like it was a land of robots. Some dream I had, huh?"

Nagato said, "It was no dream. It was all true, but everyone else have forgotten what happened that day, like it never happened."

Kyon groaned, "And how long was I out?"

Nagato responded, "All day."

Koizumi smiled, "Of course, for us, we knew about it, after we were reawakened. Miss Asahina was back to normal, as well. She told me to tell you that."

Kyon sighed, "What a relief. So, what about the Mikuru Maiden?"

"Miss Suzumiya will explain it to you, later. She had to step out for some time alone, but she told us that she's gone," Koizumi said.

Kyon asked, "Why is that?"

Nagato said, "It was the end of the month. She is now gone."

"Is that what you mean?" Kyon asked.

Nagato said, "Yes, it was what I mean."

So, they explained to me that the Maiden World happened on the 28th day of Mikuru Maiden's services; meaning that it was payment time. However, they told me that the Maiden was returned to the company. Haruhi gave her back, but she wanted to tell me about it, alone. I told them that it's fine, since they didn't want to know. Nagato just nodded and said to me that it will return to normal in days, just to break off of Haruhi's grief. Who would grieve over a Mikuru robot?

Nagato beckoned to Koizumi. He turned to Kyon and winked, "Take care, buddy."

"Where are you going?"

"Oh, you know… Something private. You'll see."

They left, as Haruhi returned, a bit sad and worried.

"Where are they going?" She asked, knowing about Nagato and Koizumi.

"Don't ask," he sighed.

She sat by him and said, "Kyon… I'm so sorry. This whole mess was my fault. I should've never yelled at you."

Kyon asked, "There's a first. Why are you apologizing? I mean, you were the one who accused me of New Mikuru's lovemaking… or lack thereof!"

Haruhi said, "Yes… But… I found out… You see… Minutes before I was about to pay for Mikuru, and before I found you… Well, she told me that she was responsible for making out with you, behind my back. She couldn't hide her guilt, anymore. She also said that the Maidens are somewhat love-making, but they are honest. I was upset that I blamed her for it. However, she insisted on leaving, but I told her that I have to return you, just for maintenance. Besides, it was fun to have New Mikuru for a long time… But then…"

She told me that New Mikuru was due for dismantling from the company. It turns out that she was defective. Her test-run was rushed, before she was delivered. By the way, she was made and manufactured in Saitama, a "Maidens for Hire Branch" in Japan. She was turned off, just for pick-up, and Haruhi ran off, leaving her Maiden behind, just to find me. Here's what happened:


It happened on day 27, minutes before Haruhi was getting ready for bed.

The Maiden then blushed and hugged her, "I'm so glad that you came to me. I won't be a burden, since Kyon-Kyon was bad."

They slept together, as Haruhi yawned, "Ahh… Maidens… I want to be one, one day… Maybe I'll ask to make one… of… me…"

She yawned, moaned, and sighed. She fell asleep, after that. But suddenly, Haruhi started to cry a bit, before she went to sleep mode.

"Kyon… why… did I yell… at him?" she sobbed, "Kyon… I wanted you… to enjoy it…"

She let out a tear, as Mikuru said, "Poor Haruhi… She must've felt bad for Kyon-Kyon. I'm so sorry… Haru-."

Her eyes clicked closed, before she would finish.


The next morning, the Maiden then said, "Miss Haruhi… There's something I should tell you…"

She confessed about Kyon. She sobbed, as Haruhi was scowling at her.

"And you KNEW, and I blamed Kyon for what YOU DID?" She yelled.

"I'm sorry…" Mikuru pleaded.

Haruhi smiled, "Oh, well… Better him, and not me. But why would you do that?"

"Because!" She yelled, "MY Pleasure Mode is currently gnawing for love. But you… You still acted like a bratty pervert, squishing my breasts, a lot! I'm not an L-Series Maiden, you know."

"Well, you reminded me of Old Mikuru."

"I know… But… Now, I feel guilty, only because I cannot have someone like Kyon-Kyon to take me away from you. Of course, it is such a pain…"

"I know. But, seriously, I'd never let you go through that. Kyon broke his promise, but it was because YOU did it. You understand, right?"

"I see…"

She hugged Mikuru and said, "I really didn't mean to let Kyon do it, but I wish I would've reverse time and make you HIS Maiden. But, now… before I pay your services… I want to… Well, since I'm not 18, how about our first kiss together? I think I am ready… just for you."

Mikuru blushed, "Oh, wow! You mean it? I mean, I can live with that, since kissing is allow, only for users, under 18, that want young adult love. Likely, it always a waiter…"

Haruhi smiled and blushed, as she gave her 2,500 Yen for her services, "For you. What do you say?"

They kissed and held each other tight. They continued to kiss, until the phone rang. She stopped and went to the phone. It was from Saitama's Branch.

"Hello? Who? Oh, you mean my custom-made Mikuru Maiden? Yes. I was wondering if you could fix her. It's on me, faithful employees!"

She then heard the news about the robot. She was defective. She also told her to give her the phone.

"It's for you."

She answered it and heard about it. She then blushed and sobbed. She nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you, Miss West."

She hung up and said, "Well… It's my boss, Hanako West, from Tokyo's branch."

She bowed and announced, "By order of her duties, your services with me are hereby null and void."

"WHAT? But New Mikuru… We haven't finished!"

"I know… But, you see… I have caused you so much hurt, especially Kyon-Kyon. I'm being called away… about to be torn apart. I'm going to leave you now."

Haruhi cried, "NO! NO, don't leave me!"

Mikuru wept tears from her eyes and said, "Haruhi Suzumiya… I thank you for my services in Maidens for Hire. For now, I am no longer of your services. But before I go, Miss West gave me the order."

She turned around and said, "Please turn me off. The Saitama Company will pick me up, this afternoon. Also, your 5,000 Yen shall be refunded, along with the 100 Yen for replacement parts."

Haruhi sobbed, "No… What should I do now?"

Mikuru said, "Maybe… Maybe it's up to you. Keep me, or make amends with Kyon-Kyon."

Haruhi stated, "First, I'll apologize to him, for blaming everything on you. Second, I'll never buy a Maiden for Hire again, just because of a user letting a Maiden kiss a non-user."

"THAT won't be necessary. You see, if my services were finished, legitimately, my entire program's history will be erased, only for other Maidens and Butler to follow the DO's and DON'T's. Of course, you'll never see me again, since my circuits are… are… are…"

She bowed down and flailed.

Rebooting…

She stood up and continued, "…are all messed-up, untested, and completely rushed. Please don't be mad."

Haruhi then said, "I see…"

Mikuru then smiled, "The apology… I can let you do. But YOU tell him. Also, tell him I said goodbye… and I'm sorry for everything."

Haruhi agreed and requested, "Uh, one thing… Can I… uh, well…?"

Mikuru extended her chest and said, "Sure. But not too hard…"

Haruhi clamped her breast and Mikuru Maiden started to moan. Haruhi smirked, "I'll miss this, but not the pain…"

She clamped BOTH breasts, but Mikuru Maiden chopped her head, knocking her out.

"When I said you may enjoy me, I DID say not too hard!" She yelled.

Haruhi groaned in pain, "I got carried away again…"

She got up and said, "I'll miss you… New Mikuru… I'm sorry that my services had ended prematurely."

"Oh, it wasn't the first time that happened."

She thought, remembering Eri Model, "I wonder whatever happened to her… I hear that she disappeared, long ago, from Tomo Maiden V2, during a Chat Party."


M4H Disclaimer: Since the success of the Butler for Hire, Tomo Maiden's Chat Mode was fully fixed, but she usually glitches. Since then, newer Maidens, or older models, tend to speak to older executive models, like Tomo Model (working as a Maiden and Supervisor), Eri Model (who disappeared, apparently), and Yakumo Model (who is retired, working in Odaiba Branch, as Supervisor). This mode is suitable for Maidens who want to learn from experts, but rarely occur, since the Maidens and Butlers offer guaranteed service, on a grand tenure.


Haruhi then held Mikuru Maiden tight and whispered, "I'll always remember you… New Mikuru…"

They kissed again, as they make out, in a long matter. As Mikuru clamped her hip, Haruhi thought, "Oh, frisky. Not TOO frisky, of course. A few more minutes, and I'll leave to find Kyon."

After that, which took about ten minutes of kissing and fondling, Mikuru was turned off and was placed by the doorstep of Haruhi's house, waiting for delivery. She was marked "Return to company - Defective". And as she left, Haruhi ran to school, just to find Kyon. Only to find him on the ground, out like a light.


No one knew how I got here, but Haruhi's words were deep. But I didn't get it. She was mean, but it's like, after being in the Maiden World, she was a changed robot.

Haruhi blushed, "I hope you feel better. I made a terrible mistake. You see, one of the reasons I departed with Mikuru Maiden was that her saliva was disgusting on my feet. Tell anyone about it, and I'll cream you!"

Kyon smiled, "Your secret's safe with me; though, science has ways of simulating human traits and actions."

Haruhi scoffed, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Kyon sighed, "Nothing… Just don't get tense, or you'd malfunction, like in my dream…"

"Huh?"

"Never mind. You wouldn't understand. You'd shot off and yell and me, like that."

"Why would you say that? You know that I'm not a robot… that or some pop idol with shoddy attire."

"Like I said… You wouldn't believe me."

She giggled and said, "Well, anyway… I'll come back, after school, and see how you're doing."

She then said, as she looked sad, "Kyon. About what happened, the other night, I really shouldn't have yelled at and hit you. I guess maybe I shouldn't have asked you to hold on to Mikuru Maiden…"

Kyon said, "Hey, don't be upset. She's gone, and that's all that matters. What happened back there was a great moment. You had fun with your New Mikuru, only to reveal that she has caused a rift in the SOS Brigade; that, and, possibly, she was defective. I know in your heart that Mikuru liked you."

Haruhi muttered, "Like you would know."

Kyon remarked, "Just don't let her departure ruin you. I know Haruhi Suzumiya… and she knows that she'll try again soon, one day."

"Nah. After what went through with New Mikuru, I'm not taking that chance. I'm done with Maidens for Hire, for a long time. From now on, I'll wait, until I am ready to try again. Besides, I'll have me a Butler of you, when I live on my own!"

She winked, as Kyon gasped, "Uh… Haruhi…"

Haruhi smiled, as she left, "I'm kidding. Besides, I'm not ready for automation; especially the human-shaped kind. It's creepy…"

Luckily, she doesn't know that Nagato is a machine… But, we're not so sure about her, yet…

She concluded, "Well, be rested up soon, Kyon-Kyon! Hah, hah! I'm gonna go find Mikuru and apologize to her."

Kyon remarked, "Well… I wouldn't be so sure. If you want to apologize to someone, it's just me. She has been jealous of you."

Haruhi then snickered, "Aw, you're sweet. In fact, you tell her!"

"Me?"

"Yes, you! I'm giving you an order. Tomorrow, when you see her, after you're healed, tell her that New Mikuru is gone… and we're hoping we'll be back to normal. She'd come to you, personally, but she has an after school study session with Tsuruya."

"And?"

"That's it. Maybe you could tell me what kind of dream you had, when you said I was malfunctioning… you robo-fetish, you."

"Haruhi!" He growled, as she laughed, and pranced away. She stopped by the doorway, in a bit of sadness.

"By the way…" she whispered, "Thank you… It was fun for you to care for me."

Kyon asked, "Huh? Why?"

She blushed, and then huffed, "Uh… Never mind!"

She stormed off, as Kyon rested.

Well, I NO LONGER have to worry about Maidens and Butlers, for a while. I'm just glad that everything is as it should be. I hope Haruhi will never forget her.
In the end, a crazy day ended with a crazier Robot Mikuru Asahina, gone from this world and our lives, in one of the craziest days that I ever occurred. Haruhi never forgotten about it, but she'll get over it. I wonder if she'll remember the kiss she gave me, if I knew about it. Of course, I can't sugarcoat it to her. Then what kind of person I'd be?

Kyon sighed again, "Oh, brother…" and then smiled.


Haruhi walked home, holding up a picture of her and Mikuru Robot, in their bunny costumes. She then blushed, "Kyon-Kyon… What a joke…"

She laughed a bit and went to class.

By the way…

Haruhi was by Kyon's bed, as he was out cold. She let out a smile and said, "I'm sorry… Please wake up soon, Kyon."

She then kissed him on the lips for ten seconds.

Haruhi didn't want to tell him that she kissed him. That would be a field day.

"It's my secret to you…" she whispered, as she shed a tear, "You said my name, in moans… and was worried about me."

She then griped, "But I ain't like that, you know! You just ain't my type!"

She smiled, "But one day, I hope soon…"

She stuck her tongue out and winked, "Kyon-Kyon, I'll be waiting!"

Things got back to normal, after that.


The End


The following afternoon, Yuki then said to Koizumi, "Pay up…"

"What for?" He asked.

Yuki explained, "Miss Suzumiya lasted about one month, exactly. You said, last month, that she may last longer. Pay up."

He sighed, "Well, okay…"

Yuki Nagato got her bet and won… a cinnamon bread roll?

She munched on it, "Yum…"

Koizumi sighed, as he broke the 4th wall, "Seems like another genre in this epilogue."

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

Reminds you of "Haruhi-Chan", huh?
