Chapter Seven – A Red Sky without Haruhi Suzumiya

I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar red sky up above. A few amber-colored clouds drifted past, and I began to wonder where I was.

I could tell that I was laying down on a bench, but my head was lying on something soft. I reached up and poked it, and suddenly heard a noise that was eerily familiar...

Asahina? I thought, quickly sitting up in surprise and looking at the future Asahina sitting there, her face blushing slightly. My head had been in her lap, which made my face flush as well, so I turned away and examined the area.

I instantly recognized the park where I had been many times before. It was the place where I first met the future Asahina, and we went to search for the young Haruhi.

"I'm sure you remember this place." Asahina said. I nodded, then turned back towards her.

"Yeah...but what's up with the sky?" I asked, pointing upwards. Asahina looked up, then looked back down at me and shook her head.

"You could say that the world is sad," she began to explain, and I raised an eyebrow, about to ask a question before she continued, "Without Haruhi, it is lacking the God it once knew."

I guess that makes sense, I thought, About as much as anything else does.

"Another person was chosen to be God...but he isn't ever feeling anything, therefor, there appears to be no sign of a God present in this world." Asahina told me.

"Really? Who is the new God?" I questioned.

"He should be coming right now." she told me.

I turned around to the sound of footsteps coming their way...And my mouth gaped as I saw who it was:

Me. At least, I think it was me.

There was no life in my face. No warmth, no happiness. I was staring at the ground, with eyes that were filled with loneliness, and lacking any hope.

Then I realized that, if I was seen by this counter-part, troubles might occur. I turned to rush towards the nearby bushes, but Asahina grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

"He's trained himself to ignore the outside world," she told me, and I let myself calm as I watched my clone pass by, "Therefor, he won't be able to see notice you."

Once I watched myself walk around the corner out of sight, I sat back down on the bench and sighed.

"I never thought I was that depressing..." I commented. Asahina shook her head.

"You never were, especially when Haruhi came into the picture." she told me with a smile...

That was when something came to mind. "Wait...Is there a Haruhi in this world?" I asked.

Asahina's smile dropped, and she shook her head. "I'm afraid not." she stated.

I let my gaze drop to the pavement below us. No Haruhi...What a dull world this must be, I thought, thinking of the importance of Haruhi...

Then I stood, the thought of Haruhi giving me hope. "Alright, let's find the person responsible and end this," I said confidently, "If it's that easy..." I looked over at Asahina, who smiled.

"It really is that easy.

In what way is this easy? I thought to myself, stopping to rest, out of breath.

For whatever reason, Asahina told me that the perpetrator was on the roof of one of the taller buildings in the city, which was about 30-floors high. She said she couldn't accompany me, as she had to be somewhere else...What a big help.

After running up 20 sets of stairs,I was already tired of it. For the remaining 10 flights, I used my remaining energy to walk to the door leading out to the roof.

I opened it, and stumbled out onto the concrete, taking a few breaths for a moment, before looking up...

And I saw Koizumi standing on the other side, near the edge, staring off at the distant sky.

W-What? I thought, Surely not...

"Koizumi?" I said cautiously, stepping forward and clenching my fists.

"Ah, Kyon, you're finally here." he said, turning and giving his usual smile to me. I raised an eyebrow and let my tension subside; There was no way that Koizumi was responsible for this.

"Where's the person responsible for all of this?" I asked, looking around.

"You haven't figured it out yet?" Koizumi asked, frowning at me and shaking his head, as if disappointed.

"Figured what out?" I asked, confused.

Koizumi motioned through the air with his hand.

"None of this is real." he stated. I merely blinked. Seeing the confusion showing on my face, he continued, "You and Haruhi are my prisoners."

At the word 'prisoners', Koizumi's voice suddenly became deep, and sounded much like the shadow programs from before. Shocked, I took a step back.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I muttered. Koizumi began to slowly walk towards me.

"I only wanted Haruhi," he stated, this time in a voice that sounded like that of Ryoko, "But you had to come along. That's why I sent some friends to dispose of you."

"The creatures...And Ryoko?" I asked, taking another step back as Koizumi continued to grow closer.

He nodded. "But that girl...She brought your friends into this world, and defied what I had created...And, eventually, she completed destroyed it." Koizumi continued, his voice becoming that of Asahina now.

He continued, "Luckily, I was able to trick you into leaving her to come to yet another of my creations," Koizumi said with a wicked grin, "So I can dispose of you properly."

My eyes widened. "J-Just who the hell are you anyways?" I shouted at the fake Koizumi...

But he merely laughed, in a new, unfamiliar voice that belonged to a boy.

"You have no need for that knowledge." he stated, raising his arm towards me...

And I watched in surprise as something appeared on his arm. It was circular, and looked very similar to something I had seen before...

"Die." Fake Koizumi stated, and I was barely able to duck as he clenched his out-stretched fist and the object on his arm sent a sort of glowing projectile straight for my head.

Shit! I thought, turning and bolting for the door. As I began descend the stairs, two more projectiles zoomed past.

"THERE IS NOWHERE TO RUN!" the voice shouted, but I ignored it and continued running.

Now, the soreness in my legs didn't trouble me: I was running for my life.

As I ran, projectiles flying past with every few steps, realizations began to come into my mind. Haruhi's powers were the only thing protecting us this whole time from whoever the hell this guy is, I thought, Koizumi really did sacrifice himself...Nagato and Asahina are nowhere to be found.

Then, as I finally reached the bottom floor and busted out into the daylight, a horrible thought came into my head:

Without Haruhi, what the hell do I do?

To be continued...
