"Do you remember where you left Miko?" I yelled at the phantom boy as we ran down the hallway of the infirmary.
"No I don't!" he replied, who had to run too for some reason. "Do you?"
"No!"
Then we promptly yelled "Damn" at the same time. This kind of synchro is actually kinda scary. Who knew we were both lucky enough to act and think the same. I looked to Nagato for help, who was running with us and was unsurprisingly not tired.
"I can only sense Suzumiya and Itsuki," she replied, probably noticing my glance. "Asahina has disappeared from my topographic placement."
"Okay, lead us to Haruhi! She must know where Asahina ran off!"
And there it was. A room called "Psychiatric Therapy".
It seemed, um, out of place.
"Nagato, why is it look all messed up?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean there's black wisps of vapor everywhere and the light, if any, is warping rather disturbingly."
"Yeah, I can't see through either," said the boy.
The girl and I stared at each other. The ghost scratched the back of his head, perplexed.
"You can't see it?"
"Spiritual intervention, perhaps."
I held out my hand to her.
"Take me through."
The ghost made a short scoff but I chose to ignore it. Nagato stared at my hand hesitantly. Slowly, she placed her soft yet small hand (yes, the imagery is necessary) into mine.
"I do not wish for Suzumiya to misinterpret," she said, quieter than usual.
"Then why'd you-"
The blank look on her face. Embarrassment?
Suddenly, me and the boy were rocketing through the room with our feet off the ground! Nagato took off with me in tow, ditching the human part of her for supernatural speed. We passed demonic looking symbols and black liquid dripping from the cieling and a lot of other stuff!
"Nagato!" I yelled. "Slow down!"
And then I was tossed into a wall with absolutely painful force! As I laid on the floor limply, the boy stood next to me.
"I think I like this girl," he said with a smile.
"Ugh," was my reply.
I heard some familiar voices but I was too hurt to pay attention. I believe Nagato met up with the rest of the gang and was letting Haruhi yell random stuff again. It sounded like she was happy that Mikuru was possessed but was kinda concerned. Kinda.
Unfortunately, Koizumi was the one who picked me up.
"I see that you haven't been yourself lately," he said smiling.
"I can't see," I told him. "There's something spiritual blinding me."
"Really? So that's what she meant..."
Koizumi dragged me towards the group where I heard Haruhi call out my name.
"Haruhi!" I yelled back.
I yelled for her but it was to no avail. I lost her in this place. Right when I thought we were in the clear, I lose her.
Where is she? There is no way she got lost. She knows her directions. Then again, this place has been ridiculous from the get go.
Dammit, why the hell did I leave her!
That, that thing! It must've taken her! We had barely escaped with our lives and I let it take her!
Dammit!
DAMMIT!
I admit I'm a careless guy but I didn't think it would get this bad! I should've convinced her to go somewhere else. I just felt obligated to follow her!
Where is she!
HARUHI!
"Um, Kyon-kun. Suzumiya-san is right in front of you."
Oh. Right. Thanks Koizumi.
"Kyon!" Haruhi yelled. "Are you okay?" I couldn't see her but I could smell her faint sce-NO! The hell am I doing!
"Ugh, I thought there was someone else that was worse than me," I said to her. Even from here, I could feel her getting unworried. "We haven't found her yet but I'm glad you're fine."
"Kyon! I sense Miko!" yelled the ghost, interupting a developping relationship. He really didn't have to since I'm next to him.
Suddenly the ghost decided to take over. I don't know how but it took over me. It made me run around aimlessly, crashing into a bunch of tables and chairs. I probably looked very stupid in front of the others. We wandered around a bit more until we found the source of that black matter. It was purging out of Asahina-san.
For some reason, I could see Asahina-san clearly. She was in a fetal position in the corner. Quite cute might I say. Wait, why am I going forwards?
"There she is!" yelled the boy. "Miko!"
Suddenly, Asahina woke up. Her eyes were pitch black and her hair fell over her face in a creepy way. Then she spoke
"I found you, Ofukuro..."
She sounded like those tune-up porcelain dolls. It was very sweet but it seemed like she wanted to murder something. Meaning us.
"Miko!" yelled, uh, Ofukuro. Wait, why am I yelling too? He must've taken over my motor functions as well! "We're both ghosts! Its time we leave the earth."
Then she screamed in a high pitched decibel. However, unlike on the phone I heard Miko talking normally.
"You left me to wander the hospital by myself! I can't believe you did that, you jerk!" yelled Miko/Asahina.
"Well, sorry. It got seriously boring!" yelled Ofukuro/Me.
"I was scared! That was mean!" They began screaming again.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You know I didn't mean to leave you behind!"
Scream.
"I was thinking about trying to leave you cause this ghost-hunt seemed kinda lame."
And then I was promptly tackled to the floor. My vision got seriously messed up as the black and grey spiraled out of control.
"He's possessed!" yelled Koizumi. "Nagato, take Asahina-san! Haruhi, can you help me with him?"
"Hai!"
Then Koizumi whispered to me
"That 'lame-ghost hunt' almost got me in trouble there."
I whispered back, "My bad. Didn't know you wanted a day off!"
"Okay got him!" Haruhi grasped me by the wrists. "Now what!"
"Hold him still!" Koizumi left me. Now I was left under Haruhi-
Oh.
"Damn that fucker!" yelled Ofukuro. "Miko!" It seemed Koizumi's surpise attack knocked the ghost out of me so I was no longer under its control.
"Don't worry! Kyon!" yelled Haruhi. "You're going to be fine!"
Did you find what you wanted, Haruhi? A night crawling with ghosts and demented stuff! Or did you do that purpose? You intentially wanted ghosts to possess us and you timed it so that you could be pinning me down when I got possessed?
Not that I hate it but, you know, the thought of it.
You know.
"It's going to be alright, Kyon!"
I wish I could see this.
Wait, yes I can.
I stopped struggling and looked around. I was on the floor of a conference room filled with chairs and tables. On the tables were lamps and straps (disturbing) and abandoned tool kits (more disturbing). The room was dark save for the moonlight being cast into the room. One beam was lingering over the two of us. Haruhi's head was on my chest and seemed to be sniffling. Her hands were crushing the hem of my jacket. And her legs were straddling-
Okay, so how's Asahina doing? She was standing up and being cheerful again. Aside from the bags under her eyes, she seemed completely normal. Around her stood, Koizumi, Asakura, and Nagato. They must've found a way to seperate her from Miko.
Asakura?
She turned to me and smiled that questionable smile. Unlike Koizumi's complete lie of a smile, Asakura's always had something behind it.
I pointed at her then to Haruhi. Asakura gasped and rapidly said some words. She quickly melted through the floor.
I patted Haruhi on the back of her head. As she looked up, I noticed her tears had given her a cute expression. Her nose was red and so were her cheeks. I couldn't help but smile.
"Thanks, Chief." I said to her softly.
Then she smiled as well. A sweet smile might I add.
"Great job guys! The S.O.S. Brigade is finally in motion!"
And then she was back to normal. We left the abandoned building behind and made it back to that stone sign that Haruhi had defiled previously. Mind you, she's standing on it again.
"You guys did a great job! We actually found some- er, I mean, we stopped the ghosts in their tracks!"
Wow, she's learning from me.
"Our client will greatly appreaciate our efforts!" Then she made a dramatic thumbs up and said in broken english "Gedato Jobuh!"
Kill me now.
As Haruhi started bantering about stuff in her own world, I whispered to Nagato. She was staring blankly at Haruhi.
"Why was Asakura here? What'd you guys do to Mikuru?"
"We data interfaces can manipulate time travel as demonstrated by the subject. We forced her into a time plane that was more capable in the removal of the entity. I commuted for Asakura as a backup."
A different time frame? Nagato pointed behind me. I turned around and saw that Asahina was already in her "classified" pose. I just shrugged.
"So how did you guys get rid of mine?" I asked.
Nagato subtley showed an expression of "Oh shit, I forgot." No one else could tell but me though.
"You really were possessed?" asked Koizumi in serious mode.
"Yeah, I'm still here." I dramatically turned around and saw Ofukuro standing behind Koizumi. The esper was confused but I didn't want to bother him with the details.
"I'm not leaving you till I find Miko. That girl said she was in a different time frame. I can wait, what's another 60 years." Ofukuro then glided through Koizumi and stood next to me. "Besides..."
He pointed to Haruhi, who was still doing some random actions explaining our adventure.
"This is getting interesting. You two dating?"
Oh god...
Woah an update! R&R and/or flame
