Chapter 10
"Kyon... I want you"
Even though I didn't want it to, my brain kept replaying that scene over and over again.
And once again, I was unable to sleep. I tossed and turned. So now on top of the fact I'm apparently immortal, time is fucked up and I'm starting to have feelings for Koizumi? Why? Is this karma for saying that everything's normal? Argh!
Beep, beep, beep.
I grabbed my phone and was temporarily blinded by the screen.
It was a text. From Koizumi. He wanted to meet up. Right now at the station. Without a second thought I got up and got ready and was half way down stairs when I realised what I was doing.
I dithered. Why am I doing this? It's just that idiot Koizumi. Why do I want to see him so badly? Why?
I stepped down a step. Do I...?
I ran down the steps, grabbing my jacket. I slipped on my shoes and raced out, being careful not to slam the door and wake my family.
I never stopped all the way there. I was going so fast I thought my bike chain would break. I stopped listening to my brain and followed my urges. The fact that everything was going by so fast didn't even concern me. It felt like minutes ago I was laid with Koizumi on top of me. Just a normal side effect of becoming immortal, y'know.
When I got there I nearly fell off my bike I had to stop so hard. Koizumi was there waiting.
I ran over to him and panted.
"Koizumi...ah ah...what's wrong?"
He looked down at me, expressionless. It was scary. In the lamp light, I actually wished he was smiling.
He turned away from me.
"Kyon. I would like to apologise for my inexcusable behaviour this afternoon. It was stupid and I should never have done it...it...it must have been the alcohol..."
His fists clenched.
"It will never happen again..."
He whispered, turning to leave.
"Kkozumi!" I grabbed his shirt but he just shrugged me off.
"There is nothing between us"
And he marched off, leaving me there alone in the middle of the dark street.

I slept through most of Saturday, thanks to Friday night's excursion. Fortunately Haruhi canceled our filming that day. God knows why. But I didn't sleep well. I had nightmares, about Koizumi falling from the sky...about him leaving me.
My bad dreams in turn made me depressed. I moped around the house. My homework was left untouched and my sister got bored of trying to play with me. But on Sunday morning Haruhi rang and demanded we all met up, with me bringing all the camera equipment.
When I got to our usual meeting place, Koizumi hadn't turned up yet and Haruhi wasn't pleased.
"Well Kyon, I guess Itsuki will be treating us today"
Hurrah! My poor wallet!
As we waited, Asahina turned and winked at me.
"haven't you noticed how he looks at you, how he always tries to get close to you..."
My heart dropped. I knew it was a lie, but why was Asahina in on it?
I looked down at my shoes. Why me?
"Itsuki! You're late! Even Kyon got here before you! Penalty!"
At the sound of his name my heart jumped. I looked up. It was like a scene from a movie. Koizumi gliding down on his bike, the wind blowing his hair out of place...
"Sorry sorry! I had matters to deal with" he beamed at Haruhi, Nagato and Asahina. I felt annoyed about being excluded.
"He's a jerk. He's just trying to wind you up as usual" I told myself, as Haruhi marched us towards Nagato's apartment complex.
We had to go up the lift in two's. Or rather Haruhi and Nagato, Koizumi and Asahina and then me plus all of the baggage.
When we were all finally reassembled in Nagato's apartment, the girls went off to change in another room. Haruhi once more expressed her shock at Koizumi's lateness and told him not to bother changing as we might not need him today. Evidently, that meant me too as she mentioned nothing to me.
I'd hoped Koizumi might have tried to talk to me, or at least let me try to talk to him, but he clearly wasn't in the mood, as he opened Nagato's sliding doors that led out onto her balcony, shutting them hard when he was through. He stood at the edge, looking over the railing, like we did that night during summer...
I punched the nearest wall in frustration. This guy really knew how to piss me off.
I turned back to him. His back screamed 'Don't you dare'.
I felt my fury build. But Haruhi barged in and knocked the fury out of me with her director's stick.
"Oww! What was that for?"
"You were pulling a stupid face..."
She said innocently.
"Righto! Yuki, where's your bedroom?"
Nagato just stood there for a few seconds, then led us into the same room me and Asahina slept in for 3 years.
She went over to the end of the room and took out a bed roll.
"This."
She said quietly.
"That's great! Could you set 2 up please Yuki!"
Haruhi was clearly so happy, she was almost purring. I could tell she was clearly making everything up on the spot.
"So, Kyon, we're going to be filming a bed time haunting, so you need to film us about to get undressed and then stop the tape and film us in our pajamas. Got it? Oh, where's Itsuki gone...Mikuru you go find him"
A white haired Asahina nodded, her talcum powdered face still contorted after practically being raped by Haruhi. She ran off like Velma from Scooby Doo...
I'm such a child at times.
Asahina returned with a windswept Koizumi...stop it brain.
"Righto then, ACTION!"
Haruhi exclaimed. The familiar beep of the camera alerted everyone that we were now rolling. Haruhi looked directly at the camera,(which I'm sure is a big no-no in the filming world) and did an enormously fake yawn.
"I'm so tired from all of this investigating...how about you Yuki?"
She turned to an expressionless Nagato, who just nodded. Haruhi raised an eyebrow.
"Right then, let's get ready for bed!"
And she took off her coat, I stopped the film.
"Out! Out!"
She shoved me at Koizumi and sent us both flying out the door, slamming the door behind us. We landed in a heap on the floor, me on top of Koizumi, landing against the soft hardness of his chest.
I lifted my head up off his chest. He was staring at me, his caramel eyes open wide in shock, his mouth slightly open.
So close...
We both breathed in at the same time, our chests touching...
And he kissed me. Hard. Forcing his tongue into my mouth. I lost my senses and wrapped my tongue around his...wait...
What the hell?
I pushed myself off him and wiped my mouth. He turned away. His hands over his face. I got up and walked over to Nagato's bathroom, trying hard not to slam the door behind me.
I put my forehead against the door and punched it. Why? That jerk...
I heard a crash as Haruhi announced they were ready. She asked Koizumi where I was and he calmly replied that I'd gone to the bathroom. I could almost hear his smile...
Haruhi must have decided to replace me as camera man with him, as I heard Nagato's bedroom door slam.
I went over to the sink and splashed my face with cold water to try and cool myself down.
Nagato didn't even have a mirror, which strangely made me smile.
I wiped my face on a nearby hand towel and decided to venture back into the lion's den.

-note-
Just a shortish one as I'm very busy and I wanted to put a cliff hanger here.
Also, I want to know of anyone's made any amv's of Itsuki and Kyon to Judas by Lady gaga? I reckon it's the perfect song for those too :p let me know if you do 3
