Last chapter before the epilogue.

The end.

Thanks for being here.

Enjoy.

As I crashed and ploughed my way through the classrooms I looked down at the courtyard. Shinjin from closed space had appeared, finally; bigger and much more fierce, they were tearing down buildings like matchsticks, and destroying the world around me.

Wait, that's 'Yuutsu' isn't it, not Haruhi? What the...

A girl with short brown hair, wearing a hoodie and jeans passed by. She took notice of me, and sat down next to me.

"What's up, you moping retard?"

That expression and tone of voice…it sounded familiar.

"Eh. I think I lost my girlfriend and she doesn't want to speak to me anymore."

"Really?" She looked down at the bitumen. "And why wouldn't she want to?"

"She thinks I'm involved with someone else."

"…I see. And are you?"

"No! Well, she is pretty and everything…but my girlfriend…she's something else entirely. She's just… I can't really describe it."

"Well, maybe your girlfriend simply wants you to be happy?"

"…Well, my girlfriend…we were extremely close. And to be honest, she was really clingy, really. I can only really see her saying "If I can't have you, then no one can…""

"Boy, you seriously don't know girls."

"What?" The girl abruptly stood up.

"Well, good luck with that." Her face was shadowed by her hood, and she sharply turned and ran off.

"Err…hi. Have I met you before?"

The girl looked up, and tilted her head slightly. "Oh hi, incompetent loser."

"Hey, what's with the attitude?"

"Nothing. Incompetent loser."

I raised an eyebrow. She turned her head towards the window, chin upon her hand; looking very…melancholic.

"Um, pardon my asking, but what's your name?"

"Hm? Hmm." She pondered on the answer. "Let's just say, 'Yuutsu' will do for now."

"Okay…you do know I'm going to find out your name when the roll is called, right?"

"No you won't."

"Oh really?" I took that as a challenge. Why was I getting so sucked into this?

That was Haruhi all along... and I never noticed. What kind of boyfriend am I...

This was not good. Worse than that. Horrendous, catastrophic, in a literal sense.

Koizumi, you'd better hope I get there in time.

Haruhi, don't lose your mind...

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart,
I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over.
My boss just quit the job,
Says he's goin' out to find blind spots, and he'll do it.
The 3rd Planet is sure that they're being watched,
By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped,
When you get to the promised land,
You're gonna shake that eye's hand.

Running down the hallway, I could already see the world falling to pieces. Dammit, dammit dammit. Ceiling crashing; tables falling sideways; the Shinjin fists pulverising anything into rubble. I kept running, slid across tables, rolled underneath crap falling from the side. Tumult and destruction.

Remaking this world again, Haruhi?

Don't you think you could have just a little bit more faith in me?

After all we've been through?

Dammit, dammit, dammit, DAMMIT!

Why couldn't I say this before!

I need her!

Your heart felt good.
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood.
And your hands and knees,
Felt cold and wet on the grass beneath,
While outside naked, shiverin', looking blue,
From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon
And baby cum angels fly around you,
Reminding you that we used to be three and not just two,
And that's how the world began.
And that's how the world will end.

Being with Mikuru wasn't fulfilling. It was NEVER fulfilling. It was just me and my "being the knight in shining armour" fantasies. That isn't a relationship.

Sharing things is.

Wanting people for who they are, and not what they are in your own eyes, just an objective, is.

Teaching, and learning, to and from each other, is.

Being a team, is.

Complementing, and complimenting each other, is.

Haruhi, come back to me.

I need you.

Well, the 3rd had just been made and we're swimming in the water.
Didn't know then, was it a son, was it a daughter?
And it occurred to me that the animals are swimming,
Around in the water in the oceans, in our bodies,
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet,
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic, and how.
Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth;
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were.
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth;
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were.
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth...

Crap was being thrown everywhere: elephants, giraffes, water, fire, ice, cats, dogs, chairs, books, lamps, curtains, photos, flowers, pianos.

Yay. I'm going insane.

No.

I MUST keep my sanity for JUST a bit longer.

There she was.

On the grass.

Outside our school.

Crying.

I only knew one thing.

I had to get to her.

I had to prove to her.

I need you.

Your heart felt good.
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood.

I loved you.

I still do.

As you were.

And your hands and knees,
Felt cold and wet on the grass beneath
While outside naked, shiverin', looking blue,
From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon
And baby cum angels fly around you,
Reminding you that we used to be three and not just two,
And that's how the world began.
And that's how the world will end.

I waded across oceans.

I fought against animals.

I shoved furniture out of my path.

My uniform, incidentally, was still pristine.

I wonder why.

But she was here. Kneeling in the grass, under the tree.

The tree where she'd been mulling over her confusion after that concert.

She was here.

I was here.

She was still crying.

Raging. Expelling every ounce of emotion she had had for me.

Contempt.

Boredom.

Melancholy.

Anger.

Annoyance.

Intrigue.

Indignation.

Confusion.

Disassociation.

Empathy.

Acceptance.

Love.

I need you.

And it's pretty clear, you need me.

Everything was being destroyed; it was a horrific cacophony of metal against flesh, wood against dirt, trucks smashing into the ground, buildings pulverised into mash. Screeches, crashes, destruction. Burning, explosions.

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart,
I've got this thing that I consider my only art of fucking people over.

Well, this is it.

I took a deep breath. Let's hope this reaches her.

"HARUHI!"

She looked up. Her face showed astonishment, then anger, hurt, and sadness.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? GO BACK TO YOUR MOE INCARNATE GIRLFRIEND!" She screamed, straining every note, every sound, every word, every syllable.

"HARUHI! THANK YOU!"

She stopped.

Everything kind of slowed. Then it all picked up again.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THANK YOU? YOU DUMPED ME FOR MIKURU! YOU SHIT ASS, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! IT'S MY LIFE! MINE!"

Her voice was crystal above the din. I had finally reached her patch of grass.

"WELL FUCK THAT HARUHI! COS I WANNA SEE YOU!"

With that, I stood her up, and kissed her as hard as I could.

She was limp in my arms. Her eyes were wide.

Everything stopped.

Then she closed her eyes, tears streaming beneath her eyelids, the crystalline amber now invisible, overwhelmed with the moment. I hugged her tightly.

I didn't want to let go of her yet. Eventually we broke apart.

I whispered:

Your heart felt good.
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood.
And your hands and knees,
Felt cold and wet on the grass beneath
While outside naked, shiverin', looking blue,
From the cold sunlight that's reflected off the moon
And baby cum angels fly around you,
Reminding you that we used to be three and not just two,

"It's a new life Haruhi."

And that's how the world will end.
And that's how the world began.

"Welcome."

Still an epilogue comin, stay tuned.

If you're confused as to why there are about TWO different endings, that's because there's 2 different songs. :D

The actual story isn't different, but the angle at which each is aimed is different. This one, for example, is more to accentuate the cacophony and the imminence of world changing events.

Well guys, thanks for being with me this whole time.

I've actually had this chapter DONE since 29/11/09, AEST.

I hope you've enjoyed this.

I probably will continue this with another story, but not a songfic, it kinda limited me towards the middle.

Maybe.

;)

And that's how the world will end.
And that's how the world began.
