Disclaimer:

I do not own anyone or anything associated with the Haruhi Suzumiya Series and whatever else I'm going to include here in this fanfic; they all belong to their respective creators - so no surprise there.

I'm just writing this down for my personal entertainment as well as for others.

Author's Note:

I'm not sure if this is supposed to merit any concern, but I got a PM from a site called NovelJoy telling me that I should join the website's community and post my stories there too. Though I did a couple of background checks and though a lot of people are both saying that it may be a scam and that it may be the real deal, I still have my misgivings about it. So... what do you guys think I should do? My mind's telling me not to join, by the way.


When the dust finally subsided, Taniguchi and Kunikida realized they had been separated from the others.

Coughing as they took hold of their surroundings, the duo waved their hands around trying to breathe unmolested air. In a matter of moments, they were able to, but that was a minor blessing compared to the fact that they somehow survived the cave in of the mine entrance they explored with the SOS Brigade. What - or who, to be more suspicious - caused it was a mystery, but thankfully mystery wasn't in their strong suit, and so the duo began to calm down after they each checked themselves for any wounds.

"You okay, Kunikida?" Taniguchi asked his friend worriedly after letting out his last cough.

"I-I'm fine." The shorter teen replied, still shaken. "You?"

"I'm good." He responded. "Man, that was so close!"

"Yeah. If we didn't go deeper into the tunnel, we would have been goners by now."

A quick scan around the place made Taniguchi think otherwise.

"You're right on that count... but, do you think we still are?"

A cold chill ran down Kunikida's spine. Taniguchi got a point - the rubble looked like it would take months to clear.

"... We're still screwed, aren't we?"

Then, a feeling of something horrifying dawned on them.

"... Yeah. Yeah, we are."

The boys despaired.
