This is just great. Not only do I have to fight Haruhi and probably lose (Knowing Haruhi), but I also have to do it with most of my body exposed. I'm really not sure how Matoi manages to fight like she just did. I swear Haruhi, one of these days, I'll have to get back at you for this…..
"I mean, for all we know, the person you brought up probably doesn't even have their memory of how to make these uniforms."
"That is true." Mikisugi started to stroke his chin "We still haven't figured out what happened to the people who were discarded."
"Yeah, and what if they don't even exist anymore? I mean, for all we know, Haruhi could have completely discarded them from existence, seeing as how she and Koizumi took their places."
Mako looked like she had no idea what was going on, which I can't blame her for. "Well, I have no idea what you guys are talking about, but I'm hungry!" She pulled out a bag that was full of croquettes, which I don't know how she carries around with her, but that should probably be the least of my questions.
I really hate to sound cliché, but…."How could you be hungry at a time like this?" It didn't seem like Mako was very worried, because she started wolfing them down, and Matoi was happy to join her. Mikisugi ate a few to.
"Oh well…..I don't even think I ate breakfast this morning, so I might as well…"
Oh wow! These actually taste great! I wouldn't mind taking a few more…..
"Hey Kyon, what do you think of them!" Mako, I don't know where you came from, but try to warn me if you are going to sneak up on me like that.
"They're alright…"
"So Kyon, do you know anybody else that could possibly have an idea of what is going on?"
"I would say Koizumi, but he is a member of the Student Council…Maybe Mikuru Asahina can help us?"
"And what did she do before this S.O.S. Brigade formed?"
"Well…..She was a member of the calligraphy club…." Great, this is probably going to lead to another fight…..
"If I have to fight the president of the Calligraphy Club, that's no problem!" Matoi looked smug again. She looked at her uniform, who I'm guessing must have said something to her.
"Don't worry Senketsu, we can do this!" If I can remember correctly from Mikisugi's explanation, Senketsu requires Matoi's blood. Maybe I don't know enough, but I don't think it would be a good idea to use transform more than once a day.
Right then, the bell rang, meaning we had to get back to class. Mikisugi put his teacher disguise back on, but I was curious how much Nagato had to adjust to her new social status as a no-star. Man, this world is weird.
…
After school ended, Mako and Matoi led me to Mako's house. I wonder how crazy her family must be for Mako to end up like she is….
"Hi everyone, I'm home!" Mako said casually as she walked in to her home, which I guess she must be used to, because it was complete chaos. "And we have a new person staying here! His name is Kyon!"
The person who I'm guessing must be Mako's dad walked up to me, and shook my hand. "Welcome, Kyon! I see you met my daughter, and Ryuko!"
"Oh yeah….They're something alright….."
"And he isn't the only new person staying with us! I have a patient and somebody else temporarily staying with us!"
"Oh cool! Who are they?"
"Some people named Satsuki Kiryuin and Hoka Inumuta."
Those names sound familiar, but I can't put my name on it. However, Matoi definitely recognized those names based on her shocked reaction.
"Wait, Satsuki? Where is she right now?"
"Hey Ryuko, how do you know about my patient?"
"That doesn't matter; I just want to know about Satsuki!"
"Alright, sheesh; She's in the patient's room, where all of my patients are."
Matoi then ran to the patient's room as fast as she could, and me and Mako followed.
We arrived in the patient's room, and I was greeted by a thin looking person around my age with blue-hair and glasses. He wore a no-star uniform, but his had a turtle-neck that covered up his mouth. He was standing by a bed that the person named Satsuki was lying down on, and she was asleep. She was wearing nothing, but was covered with a blanket.
"Hoka!' Matoi yelled "Please tell me you remember me!"
The turtle-neck that covered his mouth opened. "Why of course I do, Ryuko. However, it seems nobody else remembers me or Lady Satsuki. In fact, I'm not even sure how anything is still here. The goku uniforms, Honnouji…." He exaimed Matoi, and noticed something that stood out about her. "Oh, even Senketsu is back!" His mouth was covered again.
"Yeah, same thing happened to me. I'm stuck in this world, but nobody else besides Aikuro and Senketsu have any memory of what happened only a few months ago." Hey, you know I exist, right?
"So Aikuro remembers, I see." He then looked over at me "And I see you made a new friend. Does he know about anything?"
"Yeah, I actually know a lot about your situation. I even know the cause." Inumuta then looked at me with intrigue.
"Care to explain?"
"You know how Satsuki was replaced by Haruhi Suzumiya? Well…" Oh boy, I had to repeat my explanation….Yeah, that was a lot of fun….Even worse that I had to explain Mikisugi's plan…..
Inumuta then thought for a moment. "So, Aikuro wants me to make you a kamui?"
I then let out a sigh. "Correct…"
"That seems like a good idea and all…." Hey Inumuta, stop covering your mouth mid-sentence please "But you're barking up the wrong tree. I don't make the uniforms. I simply study the life fibers. I'm guessing Aikuro just thought that maybe I could make a uniform."
Oh thank god! I don't have to run around like…THAT! However, Matoi doesn't look as relieved as me.
"Now, if you wanted someone who could possibly make a kamui, you might want to talk to Shiro Iori, assuming his memory wasn't erased."
Well, this guy probably has his memory erased, but I could care less about him. All that concerns me is that I don't have to dress like a man whore! Today is a victorious day for me!
"But what the hell are we gonna do now! Didn't that alien chick say that only you could fight her! Augh, this is such bullshit!" Careful girl, you wouldn't want to cut yourself on that edge.
"Well, Nagato didn't say that was what the case is. I'm pretty sure it was just a theory she had. You could probably take her down, and then afterwards, I could convince her why things were better the way they were."
Ryuko looked at her uniform, and then back at me. "You're right. I think this means we should collect life fibers."
"I agree. Do you think we should call her out?"
"Nah. All the clubs are after me, so I think that would be pointless. I'll use that way to collect life fibers."
Just then, I noticed Satsuki move, and she sat up. She looked up at us, and noticed us.
"…Ryuko? With Senketsu?"
Matoi's face then lit up. "Sis!" She ran up to her sister, and gave her a big hug.
"But I don't understand…..Why is Senketsu alive? Didn't he die?"
"Hi, my name is Kyon, and it's a LONG story…."
…
The next day, I arrived at Honnouji with Matoi, Mako, and Satsuki, who was now wearing a no-star uniform.
"Honnouji…I'd never thought I'd see this place again, especially as a no-star…."
"Well, I guess you know how we felt." Matoi laughed, and Satsuki chuckled a little to.
We walked out onto the field, when a bright light suddenly shone on us. I think I know what that meant…
"Matoi!" Haruhi said in a voice that probably echoed through Japan. (At least I'm not the only one who has to suffer anymore) "Who is this no-star you are traveling with!"
"You might have to be more specific. I'm traveling with three of them."
"I'm referring to the male one! I can't help but think he looks familiar!"
So Haruhi still has traces of me in my memory, huh? I find that a little odd.
"My name is Kyon."
Suddenly, this ridiculously large guy walks up to me. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO LADY HARUHI SO CASUALLY!" I didn't know his name at first, but after reading the red text that magically appeared, I learned he was Ira Gamagori, head of the Disciplinary Committee of Honnouji.
"That is of little concern, Gamagori! I am more interested in exactly what this one named Kyon is doing!"
"I'm only here to support Matoi."
"Only to support Matoi? That is such a waste of your potential!"
Did Haruhi just say I have potential?
"Potential? What the hell are you talking about?"
"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK LIKE THAT AROUND LADY HARUHI!" Am I just seeing things, or was Gamagori smaller just a second ago?
"Gamagori! Calm yourself! Anyways, I sense a lot of potential in this student, despite him being a no-star!"
Well, I sure wish you had a view like this on me back in North High.
"I challenge you, Kyon!" Just then everybody, myself included and even Gamagori (Suprisingly), looked at her dumbfounded.
"Y..you can't challenge me! I'm a no-star! How am I supposed to fight!"
"Its simple!" I don't like that smirk on Haruhi's face….. "I'll have the Sewing Club make you a Three-Star…..No! A kamui! A kamui uniform! After you receive your kamui, you will fight Two-Star students, and work your way up to the Elite Four, and then to me, Haruhi Suzumiya!"
Great….I should have known there was no way I was getting myself out of this…
"But Lady Haruhi….." Gamagori spoke up. "How could you expect this no-star to do anything?"
"Gamagori! I would have expected you of all people to have more faith!"
"….My apologies, Lady Haruhi…."
"I will have you delivered a kamui, and with it, I expect you to fight wearing it!" Despite Haruhi taking up a much more serious position, she still said that in a Haruhi-ish tone, meaning this was probably all for her enjoyment.
I really don't want to do this…But if Koizumi were here, he'd tell me to go along with this…And if I say no, this could be the end of both worlds….And I wouldn't want that on my hands…..
"I accept your challenge!" Matoi, Satsuki and Mako all looked at me surprised, which I don't think they should be after my explanation.
"Good! I will have the Sewing Club work on your kamui right away!" Haruhi's backlight disappeared, and she walked away. Everyone else returned to there normal schedule afterwards.
Well, I can look on the bright side; Even if I'll be pretty much naked, at least I can beat the crap out of Haruhi. However, in order to do this, I'll have to beat up Koizumi first, and I have mixed feelings on this.
"She sure was a lot less intimidating than you sis." Matoi said to Satsuki. Maybe it's because I didn't see Satsuki when she was the head of Honnouji, but I disagree. Maybe I just have a fear of Haruhi? I dunno.
…
Enter 3rd Person Narrator
Haruhi had walked into the Studentt Council Room, and was greeted by Ira Gamagori, Nonon Jakuzure, Uzu Sanageyama, and Itsuki Koizumi.
"So, I see the transfer student has a new friend that interests you, Lady Haruhi?" Nonon Jakuzure, head of the Non-Athletic Committee, said.
"I don't know why, but I can't help but think he seems familiar."
"I don't care how familiar he may be!" Gamagori said in a somewhat clam manner. "I won't tolerate his attitude!"
"I may have never met him before" Sanageyama, head of the Athletic Committee, said "But I hear he has a pretty nasty attitude, something I don't want Lady Haruhi to deal with."
Itsuki Koizumi, head of the Strategy Committee, closed the laptop he was using. "Lady Haruhi, you're sure you want to make a kamui for this student?"
"Of course I do!"
"But why?"
"Because he seems like a good challenge! And I wanna fight somebody like that!"
"Lady Haruhi, you do realize that making a kamui would take an extensive amount of work and research?"
"I don't care! I just want a good challenge!" Nonon and Itsuki did seem like Haruhi was making a decision that wasn't very well thought out, understood her orders. Itsuki then left to inform Shiro Iori that the sewing club needed to make a kamui for Kyon, and quickly.
