(A/N: I had no plot in mind when I wrote that prolouge so this is how it turned out... Akira is an OC of mine if it wasn't already obvious... well I hope you enjoy it I tried to write it well but I'm afraid it won't meant the expectations that the prolouge may have brought about.)

...

I sat in the clubroom, alone besides the presence of Nagato who moved only to flip the pages of her book, so still any visitor to the club might would mistakenly think that I was the only one in the room. The dull beige walls of the small square room where nearly hidden by all the things, either used once or never used, which Haruhi had brought into the clubroom since founding the club. Also in the room was the costume rack for the outfits that Haruhi was constantly forcing Asahina to wear and the computers which had all been taken rather unfairly from the computer research society.

With nothing better to do until more people arrived, as attempting to start a conversation with Nagato would be utterly useless, I began to mess around with the laptop computer in front of the seat I'd sat down in. After several moments passed Koizumi entered and I abandoned the laptop to go beat him at othello as per usual.

Not long after that Asahina arrived so Koizumi and I were chased into the hall while she changed into the maid outfit which Haruhi forced her to wear in the clubroom, after which we returned and she served tea. That maid outfit was beautiful every time I saw it, Asahina had even grown a bit since last year so now her SOS Brigade uniform was showing even more skin, not that anyone minded.

Soon Haruhi had burst into the room, she quickly expressed her displeasure at the fact that we were not doing anything interesting, of course she would have been even more unhappy if we'd been doing anything interesting without her. There's no way to win, really.

With that all members of the SOS brigade had entered the clubroom. There had only ever been two or three instances of anyone besides an SOS Brigade member come to visit the SOS Brigade clubroom of their own accord in SOS Brigade history, so I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when there was a knock on the door.

Shocked I looked around to make sure that all members really were there and I wasn't imagining things, Koizumi in front of me trying desperately not to lose his twelfth game in a row, Nagato sitting in the corner of the room reading what appeared to be a foreign dictionary, Haruhi was messing with the computer of her 'brigade chief' desk, and Asahina sitting next to Koizumi doing her homework and giving me a wonderful view.

Asahina seemed to also be sweeping the room to be sure everyone was here, but it was clear that she was a bit nervous. Koizumi tensed up a little, his eternal smile slightly faded, looked at the door with an unusual expression. Nagato didn't miss a beat, she continued reading her book, but unless I'm mistaken there was a hint of concern in her eyes. Haruhi looked so happy I was worried she might wet herself, but fortunately she didn't.

"Kyon what are you waiting for? Get the door already!" Haruhi commanded.

"Why me?" I mumbled under my breath as I got up and answered d the door anyway after deciding that being forced to once again cover the role 'errand boy' wasn't worth setting off her wrath.

As I opened the door a small girl gave me a curt nod and entered the room. She had piercing eyes so dark a brown that it was near impossible to tell where the pupils began, her blond hair was straight as a pencil as it flowed behind her just barely touching the floor, she had a small build but was still bigger than Asahina had been (except in some area's) when I had first met her. All in all she was pretty cute, but she made me feel uneasy.

"This is the clubroom of the SOS Brigade, correct? Allow me to introduce myself, freshman, Akira Mitsuki. I would like to join this club," The girl spoke with an American accent that suited her appearance, but she was speaking Japanese flawlessly.

I did a double take, this girl couldn't be serious right? She must've not heard the rumors that this was an odd group if she had she wouldn't have wanted to join, or if she had she must be crazier than Haruhi! At least that's what I had been thinking, but something wasn't right and that wasn't that if Haruhi accepted her that she would be the only member to ever join without being abducted so far, or maybe I was just over thinking things.

"Are you sure about that? I mean you don't even know what this club does, are you really okay with joining just like that?" I asked in a whisper so that she would be the only one that could hear me (expect maybe Nagato but she was a bit preoccupied), "If you join this group no one can guarantee what happens next."

"This is something I have to do, there was no other way..." She whispered back, but I wasn't able to catch everything she said it probably would have confused me even further if I had, "I can't turn back now. Not after I resolved to do this."

"What makes you think you're worthy of joining the SOS Brigade? Don't waste my time!" Haruhi said suddenly.

So this is what happens if someone tries to join, she won't let just anyone in, I thought as I turned to Haruhi, she defiantly wouldn't let someone like this join her club.

"Ah ha a test! Such is to be expected from the leader of the SOS Brigade! Honestly this was supposed to be a secret... but the only way I can get into the club is if I do or say something impressive right?" Mitsuki waited for Haruhi to nod before continuing, " You see... I'm actually a spy sent from another dimension in order to save the worlds, that is to say both mine and this one, but I can't do it alone. I'll need the help of the SOS Brigade of this world if I'm to complete my mission!"

"Really?" Haruhi asked in a shout.

What you're just going to believe her like that?

"Nope, less than half of that was true," She replied with an obnoxious tone, "In actuality I'm a mage working for a top secret organization, and I'm here on a mission to infiltrate this school and I know I'll stand out to much if I don't join a club so naturally I chose the most interesting club to hide myself inside and pose as a normal girl!"

Haruhi seemed to take a moment as if deciding whether or not to believe the insane lies that the girl had just produced, then Haruhi made a response, "Ok you can join, you'll be the SOS Brigade's story teller."

Please don't tell me that she out ranks me... well I guess anything out ranks errand boy. Wait, what on Earth does Haruhi think that club members are meant to do anyway? Don't answer that, I don't want to know.

"It's an honor," Mitsuki said with an smile that I found strangely creepy, though it was no where near as creepy as Koizumi's.

After that the club meeting went on as normal, that is to say we did pretty much nothing. As I said before the only person who really knows what this club is supposed to be doing is Haruhi, the rest of us have no clue, that is unless Koizumi knows something he hasn't told me yet. Point is on most days there is no club activity, we just sit around because Haruhi forces us to come here everyday.

The new girl spent a good deal of time talking with Haruhi, but I wasn't worried, it seemed the only thing was really any good at was making up ridiculous lies and keeping Haruhi interested. Of course that could have been a clever ploy to make the other brigade members let their guards down while she went through some fiendish plot to take over the world or something, to bad I don't really care if she's up to anything or not, I'm no conspiracy theorist. I just don't want to be involved.

To my luck Haruhi left first, leaving the rest of us free to say whatever we felt was necessary to figure out weather or not the girl was up to anything. Unsure of what to say we all waited there in silence for a moment, just waiting for someone to speak up, but no one seemed to want to be the one to do it.

"Don't worry," The girl, Mitsuki, said in a dull tone while her bangs covered her eyes in darkness, "My presence here shouldn't cause issue for any of you, and I have no ill intent. However if any of you attempt to get in my way I can promise this attempt will be futile and it will likely be the last thing you ever do, so I strongly urge you not to as it would just suffice to annoy me. I'll be going now."

After saying such a thing everyone in the room stopped in their tracks she alone moved as she began to walk towards the door.

For some reason I was reminded of the first words that I'd ever heard Haruhi say, her self introduction from the first day of school, 'Haruhi Suzumiya from East Middle. If there are any aliens, time travelers, sliders, or espers here come and join me. That is all.' That's then when the thought occurred to me, there's been something missing from the SOS Brigade from the very beginning...

"Wait, Mitsuki, you wouldn't happen to really be a slider would you?" I said stopping her as her hand rested on the doorknob.

She looked at me with a bit of a devious smirk, "It's a bit of an understatement but I suppose that label will do. I'll explain everything in due time." With that she began to walk out the door, but stopped for a moment to say, "Oh, and you can just call me 'Akira' all this formality is just annoying."

She continued on her way without even waiting for a response.

"She's defiantly no good," Koizumi said once Akira seemed to be out of earshot.

Mikuru, who now seemed a bit shaken, agreed, "She's dangerous."

"We should not let her get to close to Haruhi Suzumiya," Nagato said, but she offered no explanation, as usual she acted as though what she'd said had been enough for us to understand.

Koizumi looked at me as though expecting that I'd have anything useful to add and asked, "What did you think of her?"

"She's up to something," I said remembering how uneasy it had made me feel when she entered the clubroom, "and whatever it is... it isn't good."
