Chapter Six – Facing Fears with Haruhi Suzumiya

There was nowhere for us to run. The shadows were roaming the streets everywhere we went, seemingly unseen by everyone else around us.

Mikuru...Nagato... I thought as we hid in the shadows of an alleyway, waiting for a shadowy figure to pass, Where the hell are you? Neither of the two had shown themselves since Koizumi's death...And I could only fear the worst for them.

If they failed, then what hope is there for us? I thought, glancing over at Haruhi, who gripped my hand tightly as the shadow made it's way passed. Once it was out of sight, we continued to make our way along the streets briskly, until we finally reached the cafe.

Once inside, I breathed a sigh of relief, and we sat down at a table far in the back, so that nobody could see us through the windows. "So, what's your plan Kyon?" she asked, looking at me seriously. I shook my head, and told her, "I...I don't know. I haven't heard from Mikuru or Nagato yet..."

"What?" Haruhi exclaimed, "Don't tell me those two are our only hope!" I sighed, and nodded. "Afraid so..." I said. I could tell that she was confused, so I started to wonder how to explain everything. Would she really believe me the second time I tell her this? I wondered.

"Well...I don't think you'd believe me..." I said. Haruhi stared at me for a few moments, then said, "Try me." I took a deep breath, and decided to try and explain:

"Mikuru is a time traveler from the future, and Nagato is an alien," I told her, "It's uh...a lot more complex than that, but that's the basics." Haruhi didn't say anything, but merely stared at me for a few moments...

"That makes sense." she said. What makes this time different than the other? I thought with a sigh. "So Koizumi..." she began to say, but stopped and dropped her gaze. Realizing that the image of Koizumi was still fresh in Haruhi's mind, I gently held her hand and finished, "Yeah...he...he was an Esper."

There was silence for a few moments, and I knew that Haruhi was remembering Koizumi's gruesome death. I opened my mouth to change the subject, but stopped when the windows at the front of the cafe suddenly shattered.

"What the-" I said, peeking around the corner. My eyes widened in surprise to find Nagato laying back on the floor, unmoving. "Naga-!" I started to shout, but Haruhi pulled me back and stopped me. "Idiot! You'll give us away..." she whispered.

I glanced back around the corner and saw, to my relief, that Nagato was starting to stand. However, the familiar figure of Ryoko leaped in, and slashed at her. Nagato ducked and backed away. Ryoko continued to jab and slash at her with her knife.

"Come on Nagato, don't you want to die?" Ryoko said in a sweet voice. Nagato grabbed Ryoko's hand, stopping the knife an inch from her chest, and pushed her back.

"No." Nagato said simply. How the hell has Nagato survived this long if she's human? I wondered, watching the two of them as they continued to quarrel. "Kyon! We have to do something." Haruhi said. I nodded, and started to ponder over what to do.

What can I do?... I thought, looking from Nagato, to Ryoko, to Haruhi...Then something came to mind. I never thought I'd ever do this...

Turning to Haruhi, I grabbed her hands and said, "Haruhi...you have the power to change the world as you want it." She gave me a confused look, and said, "What? Don't be stupid!" I shook my head. "It's true! Aliens, Espers, time travelers... You wanted them, so here they were, right in front of you the whole time, trying to stop you from destroying the world!"

I could tell that Haruhi still didn't believe me. "Think about it! Koizumi, Nagato, Asahina...They've all been watching out for you. Now is your chance to pay them back!" I told her. She gave me an uncertain look for a moment, then, to my surprise, fainted.

"Haruhi?" I said, "Haruhi!" I laid a hand on her chest. Her heart was still beating. Was it that much of a shock? I thought, but, suddenly, everything around me started to turn to white. What the hell? I thought, watching everything disappear into a blank nothingness.

Confused by what was happening, I glanced back down at Haruhi, who was still out cold. Is this what happens when she learns about her powers? I thought, The whole world gets destroyed? A sudden flash of red light came from behind, and I turned and watched in awe as a familiar figure walked towards me...

It was Koizumi. Or at least the figure of Koizumi. He was made of a red glowing form that I had seen him in before, when Haruhi had created her own dimension.

"Yo." Koizumi said. My mouth was gaping, and I didn't know what to say. "Don't worry, I'm not a ghost." he told me. I gulped. "W-What the hell...why...how are you here?" I asked.

"It would appear that Suzumiya's mind has gone blank, probably from shock." Koizumi started to explain, "By telling her about her abilities as a God of this world, she's now realized that the world can be morphed to her liking...But her mind couldn't handle the infinite knowledge that now came to her."

"But...why are you here?" I asked. "I've been trying to reach this closed space for a while now," he said, "Something about it is disallowing anyone from the Agency to get in...Until now, obviously." Wait a second... I thought, the image of Koizumi's death flashing into my mind. "Then...that wasn't really you who was killed?" I asked.

Koizumi shook his head. "It was me who was killed in front of you...However, Nagato, Mikuru, and I weren't really brought into the closed space, but were merely replaced by human versions of ourselves," he explained, "But when I was killed here...My original self awoke in our world."

His explanation still left me confused, but he continued, "The future Asahina came to help find who is responsible for all of this...She says that you need to go with her, or the plan will not work."

I looked down at Haruhi's peaceful expression, then said, "But...I can't leave Haruhi here." Koizumi sighed. "None of this will have happened if you can stop it from occurring...Suzumiya can return to normal, and we can continue on as we were before, in peace."

I guess that makes sense... I thought. "A-Alright..." I said. Koizumi nodded, and out-stretched his hand. "I can bring you back to our world, but you probably won't wake up until you're in the past with Asahina." I nodded in understanding, and looked back down at Haruhi.

"I'll fix all of this..." I whispered to her, giving Haruhi a kiss on the forehead before standing and walking over to Koizumi. I grabbed his hand, and, almost instantly, I found myself dragged into a black abyss...

Haruhi...I'll save you from this pain, I thought, before falling into the darkness...
