~To See, Or Not To See, That Is the Question~

AN:

Quick Note to XelaKitsune and others who do not know what the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Is: You may skip over this if you know.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya's main character is undoubtedly Haruhi, but the story is told out of a regular high school guy nicknamed Kyon.

Well, here's how it goes. Kyon is your average high school guy. Brown hair, brown eyes, he actually looks a bit Japanese! But he's a realist. Kyon won't believe in anything unless there is solid proof to it. For example, he won't believe in aliens or time travelers or espers (Basically, time wizards :P), no matter how awesome he thinks it would be if they existed.

But on the first day of his freshman year, Kyon turns around in his desk to greet whoever's sitting behind him, and he meets the girl who changes his life.

Haruhi Suzumiya: Medium length brown hair, deep golden eyes. She has a yellow hair band on, and a sassy smirk.

Kyon thinks she's beautiful at first sight. He tries to make conversation with her, but Haruhi tells him that small talk is a waste of her time.

As the class stands up and first introduces themselves, Kyon wants to know stuff about Haruhi.

As Haruhi stands up to introduce herself, this is what she said:

"My name is Haruhi Suzumiya. If you are an alien, time traveler, esper, or have an interest of that sort, you are welcome to approach me. That is all."

And then Haruhi sat down, not speaking another word.

Kyon finds himself interested in the way Haruhi presented herself. First of all, she didn't care who was around her when she changed clothes. Haruhi would take her shirt clean off in the middle of class if she wanted to, and she would be the only person who didn't care about it. Second, Haruhi wore her hair different every day, no matter how stupid it eventually ended up looking.

And third of all, it was heard that Haruhi was popular with the guys, but boyfriend after boyfriend, she dropped them all like a rock. She also joined every club at the school (but quit them all even though she was seemingly amazing at all of them), got amazing grades, and she was the best athlete ever.

But Haruhi Suzumiya didn't seem to care about any of it.

One day Kyon and Haruhi are just making small talk. The entire class has realized that Kyon is the only person able to even speak with Haruhi for some reason.

Their conversation leads to this:

"If you want an interesting club, why don't you make one?" Kyon asked, smirking.

Haruhi had her hair down today, along with her classic yellow hair band. She still looked good, but after knowing her for a while, Kyon decided that he wanted to learn more about Haruhi's many other aspects. Plus, Kyon didn't dare ask her out because he was afraid that Haruhi would drop him, too.

So, at some part of the day, Kyon's staring out the window, ignoring the teacher, when suddenly, Haruhi grabs the back of his chair and pulls him down towards her. Kyon hits his head with a bang, and Haruhi's smiling on top of him.

"I'm going to start a club!"

Soon, Kyon finds himself a member.

What happens then is completely ironic.

When Haruhi starts her club, the SOS Brigade (Dedicated to Making the World More Intersesting), three members join:

Yuki Nagato, the silently beautiful bibliophile that's actually an alien.

Asahina Mikuru, the cute moe infested girl that Haruhi loves to torture (Not with spikes and such, but forcing her into costumes and stuff, and the girl Kyon cannot stop staring at due to her humongous boobs), who is actually a time traveler.

And of course, the infamous Itsumi Koizumi pops in, and he's an esper, which I think is basically a fancy Japanese word for physic time wizard.

Anyway, Yuki, Mikuru, Koizumi, Kyon, and Haruhi form the SOS Brigade.

So, basic things you should know are Kyon has a ponytail fetish, Haruhi only tortures Mikuru because she catches Kyon's eyes, and Koizumi naturally acts like a gay person (Which I have nothing against, it's just it's creepy how he smiles… .), and Yuki Nagato shreds on guitar.

Also, if you seem to like the pairing of Kyon/Haruhi, I recommend watching some of the first episodes then watching episode 6, where you will find a pleasant surprise. :D

That was long. Phew.

Anyway, this next chapter is formulated from a simple otaku formula:

Hot Springs + Guy (Who doesn't know he likes Girl) + Girl (Oblivious) + Guy's Perverted Classmates + Wall + Hole in the Wall= Template for an amazing comedy. MWAHAHA~!

(Plus, I've just posted the first chapter of my newest MOHS story, The 10 Undeniable Truths of Haruhi Suzumiya! Even if you don't know much about MOHS and you just read the information above, you'll love it. I guarantee.

I think it's one of the best things I am going to write. I swear. I haven't even said that about this story, and look how popular it is… ^^

Hope all of you guys check it out! Just click on my profile and scroll to the bottom. It should be there.)

This chapter's going to be short. Sorry.

Ichigo's POV

Today was the day that our class took a field trip to the hot springs by Mount Fujiyama.

The springs there are said to have special healing powers and such. I think that the water there is filled with piss of old guys and the stench of bathing monkeys nearby.

But, being Japanese, I still respect the place. And it's a damn good place to recover from a hollow battle.

As the class stood in line to get into the bus, Rukia was being crowded by guys who wanted to sit by her. I was irritated quite a lot.

"ME!" Keigo screamed. "SIT NEXT TO ME ON THE BUS, RUKIA~!"

And of course, I ended up grabbing her arm and sitting next to her instead.

Rukia sighed as she sat her ass down on the soft cushions of the coach bus that Karakura High could not usually afford.

"Thanks, Ichigo…" She murmured, and then she fell asleep, slumped over on the seat, her head resting on my shoulder.

Me, I happily obliged, feeling myself falling asleep as well.

Okay, this is going to sound stupid, but it seemed like the gods were urging me to make a move on Rukia that day. Here are a few reasons why I believe so.

Coincidence #1:

I was awoken by a bump in the road.

The whole class chanted 'WHOA!', and everyone flew about 2 feet off their chairs and slammed into the person sitting next to them.

That made me smash my face into Rukia's cheek, which made my teeth clack and my head spin.

Rukia had woken up with that awkward, sharp, impact, and soon, we just stared at each other, each sure they were more embarrassed than the other.

"…sorry," Was all I could say.

Rukia took that apology.

Okay, here comes coincidence #2:

On the bus ride, the school had promised us lunches.

We did get lunches: Beef Yakisoba and onigiri.

But for some reason, they ran out of chopsticks when they got to where Rukia and I were sitting in the back.

So we had to share our freaking chopsticks, feeding each other and such.

I felt blush creep to my cheeks every time I gently laid some yakisoba into Rukia's small mouth, her eyes watching me intensely.

I couldn't help but stare back. Rukia was making my heart hop.

I wasn't used to having a member of the opposite sex so close.

And I have sisters.

Okay, here comes coincidence #3:

Just as we arrived at the Hot Springs Ms. Ochi partnered me up with Rukia, which meant, we had to look out for each other like hawks.

For example, if one of us lost our towel and felt we completely needed one, the other would have to rise from their side of the springs, go to the other side, surrounded by naked people of the opposite sex, and hand that person a towel.

If the gods wanted me to go and really make a move on her, this final scenario proved to be the most proof I could ever give you.

I was sitting in the hot spring closest to the bamboo wall separating the boys and girls side, dabbing my sweaty forehead with a towel.

There was an indigenous monkey next to me, bathing too. Apparently they were common and harmless, and the monkey wasn't doing anything to me, so I didn't mind bathing with him.

"This is great," Keigo murmured next to me. "But why can't the baths be congregated here?"

"For safety reasons since the world has guys like you," I mumbled back.

Mizuiro shrugged and soaked in more. "I agree with Ichigo."

Keigo gave me a perverted smile. "But haven't you ever wanted to see a live, naked woman in front of you?"

I blinked and tried not to blush.

Damn that Yourichi.

"Well, guys like me have no interest to see it until I find the right person for it," I replied.

Keigo shook his head and slid down deeper into the water. "Porn isn't enough for guys like me."

Ishida, who sat across from me, blinked several times. "Did you just admit you watch porn?"

"…doesn't everyone?" Keigo asked, smiling.

"Um… no…" I murmured.

Okay, maybe once. Or twice.

Just drop it, okay!

"I betcha those girls just a few inches from us watch Yaoi stuff like that," Keigo continued, shrugging. "It's just… our fascination, I guess."

"Fascination is an understatement for your emotion," Chad said blankly. "I think obsessed is more like it."

There were a few seconds of awkward silence.

That's when I heard Uryu gasp.

"Ishida?" I asked. "Is something wrong?"

"Nothing," Ishida murmured.

Keigo smiled and edged close to Ishida, one of his hands reaching into the water.

"You just realized Orihime'd be there, didn't cha?" Keigo said, touching something that definitely wasn't his.

Ishida half-yelped and jolted in the water. "Don't touch that," He scolded Keigo. "And I wouldn't look at Orihime anyway. It's perverted and wrong."

"Would you?" Keigo asked again, his eyebrows creasing in a knowing way. "Because a few years ago, I found a hole in the wall just two inches from where Ichigo's sitting now."

I turned around, my eyes widening.

And there it was. A small, almost hidden hole, the key to true manhood.

I immediately rushed over and blocked it.

"NO NO NO NO NO!" I practically screamed. "No FREAKING way, Keigo. We couldn't do that."

"Ten bucks says Rukia's there too," Keigo said, flashing me a lecherous grin. "I'm drooling just thinking about it."

I gulped.

Rukia was there.

I couldn't look. I couldn't.

Keigo's hands reached out.

"I will rip off your dick if you don't let me see through the hole."

I stared. "What kind of threat is that!" I asked, crept out by the gayness of the aforementioned threat.

"I won't even need to rip off your dick," Keigo explained. "The mere fact you refused to look at naked women, sitting in front of you on a silver platter, proves you don't have any balls."

I narrowed my eyes. "At least my balls are at least 3 inches in diameter," I scoffed.

Ishida coughed in the background and I knew that comparing ball size wasn't exactly the best argument I could've come up with.

"Think about it, Ichigo…" Keigo said, smiling. "Rukia. She's sitting there on the edge of the water, her hair tied back messily. Her ivory white skin his gleaming, and her-"

"Shut up!" I mumble, trying to push the picture out of my head.

Ishida sort of shifted nervously in the water, and Mizuiro and Chad followed suit.

"See? Those guys are getting hard just thinking about it!" Keigo insisted. "C'mon, Ichigo, you'll even get to see first."

I bit my lip.

The image in my head was clouding my thoughts. I couldn't not think of it…

to see or not to see?

Seeing would make me happy, but prove me not trustworthy. But not seeing would mean I could be missing out on something that could change my perspective.

After a few seconds of thinking, and a few seconds of thinking of testosterone, I decided.

"Fine."

So the moment of truth came.

All of the guys were surrounding the hole. I still had my hands over it, holding my breath.

I was actually going to do this. I bit my lip as my heartbeat grew faster and faster.

I slowly drew my hand away from the hole and gently lay my eye on it.

I took a deep breath, and opened.

And there, facing me, was a violet eye staring back at me.

I yelped and flew backwards, and I heard her yelp and fall backwards too.

It took me quite a few seconds to process what had just happened to me.

That's when I realized it.

Sitting in the bus, Rukia and I hadn't said a word to each other for 35 minutes.

No one ended up seeing through that hole. I got so embarrassed I duct taped it closed.

And finally, after a few seconds, Rukia spoke.

"When we got into the hot spring, Chizuru kept telling us about how she'd been to the springs before and how she had discovered the hole in the wall. She told us that Yaoi crap and porn wouldn't suffice forever." Rukia said, taking a deep breath. "I told her not one of us was interested in looking across, but Chizuru played the Ichigo card on Orihime. No matter how much she might reject it, she really wanted to see you naked through that hole."

"Tatsuki thoroughly denied that anyone of us was going to sink to that level, but Chizuru turned to me and started painting pictures in my head." She paused. "They were really… detailed pictures…"

Rukia blushed and half coughed, as if she was picturing the image again.

"Well… um… I lost my willpower. And soon, I found myself hunched over at the fence, closing my eyes, waiting to open it to see." She paused. "But when I did, I saw an amber eye. I realized it was yours. I thought you had caught me and that I was in some deep shit."

I shook my head and half-laughed. "'Course not! I was waiting to look across to see you!"

Smooth.

There was silence.

Rukia looked at me, her gaze killer. I couldn't help it anymore.

I leaned down and kissed her pink lips. Soon our tongues touched and our arms intertwined, touching each other's sensitive parts.

That was a very good advantage of sitting in the very back of a coach bus in the shadows, separated from the others.

It's fun.

Finally, when the bus had pulled over to the school and Rukia and I had gotten home, we stood at the doorstep, not saying a word.

"So I guess this means that I'm sorry for trying to see you naked," I mumbled. "The kisses were basically pleads for forgiveness."

Rukia and I just stared at each other for a while.

But gods, those purple eyes kept getting to me.

So yet again, I found myself kissing her, our tongues and arms intertwining.

After a few weird moments of making out on my doorstep, Rukia pulled away, her eyes glowing like I'd never seen before.

She slowly, gently undid the top button of my school shirt and pulled me into the house and up into the bathroom.

"Gods, Ichigo," Rukia cooed. "If you wanted to see me naked, you could've just freaking asked."

I stood there, flabbergasted for a second, but a naughty smile found its way onto my lips.

"I would like to say the same to you." I said, smiling and undoing her first button too. "The rest of the family's not home and the shower is vacant."

Rukia purred and bent over, pushing me into the wall and giving my lower neck a hickey.

When she pulled away, she smiled and nodded.

"And there will be no goddamned hole in the wall needed."

Well, I'll end there.

The rest is up to your imagination. ;)

All I can say is, that's the day Rukia taught me to see. Like, for reals.

AN:

LOL!

I didn't intention for this chapter to be so perverted; it just ended up this way. :D

I like it, though. I was too tired to write lemons today. I have acidic reflux right now…

Anyways, I want you guys to check out my new story The 10 Undeniable Truths of Haruhi Suzumiya and review!

For this next chapter, I'm contemplating whether to write lemons or fluff.

So when you review (Which you MUST), please add one of the following letters to the end of the review:

L is for Lemons

And F is for Fluff

It's pretty much self explanatory.

So, please review~! o (And again, check out my new story~!)
