"So, let me comprehend to what you're saying; you want me to make a KAMUI?" Shiro asked in disbelief.

"Yes, that is what Lady Haruhi requests from the Sewing Club." Itsuki responded

"Koizumi, I don't know how Haruhi expects me to make a kamui. Do you know how difficult it is to make something that is made out of nothing but life-fibers?"

"You can certainly try. Think about it like this; this is when we put our research to the test. You can show how much we've learned about the life-fibers by making a kamui."

Shiro sighed. "Alright, I'll do it. But keep in mind, it may take some time. Like the old saying goes, you can't rush perfection."

"Understood." Itsuki walked out of the room, and Shiro started his work on Kyon's kamui.

…

A week had passed since Haruhi announced that I would be getting a kamui, and today would be the day that I would have it formally delivered to me. While it was cool and all that I was getting it formally delivered, I do NOT want to wear this thing.

It was in the field I was getting it delivered. Everyone was watching; The Student Council, Nagato, and I thought I saw Asahina somewhere. Ira Gamagori was holding it, and it was folded neatly. I'm gonna be honest, having it personally delivered to me by the guy who was yelling at me was pretty cool.

Haruhi's backlight shone down on us again. "This is your kamui, and he will be your new uniform. His name is Shionketsu."

Shionketsu? Well Haruhi, you must have some very bad Japanese grammar skills.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Put him on!"

"You can't seriously expect me to put him on? I'm in public!"

"LISTEN TO WHAT LADY HARUHI SAYS!" I REALLY can't wait to get back at Gamagori.

I unfolded the kamui, and saw it resembled my North High uniform. It was a bright dark shade of blue, and had a bright red tie. It looked completely normal, until I saw there were eyes on the lapel that had just opened.

"Hi, my name is Kyon. I don't want to do this either, so bare with me."

Well this was embarrassing…I had to strip down to my underwear in front of everybody, and change into Shionketsu in front of everybody. The worst part was, I'm pretty sure Asahina was watching…

"Notice that bracelet on your right hand?" Haruhi shouted

I glanced over at my right wrist, and saw I had a blue glove with a bracelet on my right hand. "Yeah, what about it?"

"You can see there is something you can pull on it. I want you to pull it!"

"You're the boss." I pulled it. I was blinded by a bright light. I don't see what's happening….Ow! Did I just feel a needle in my arm?

I can suddenly feel myself being stripped…and I had clothing on me in some parts, but most of my body felt naked.

I opened my eyes, and looked down at my body. "WHAT THE HELL!? COULD YOU HAVE GIVEN ME SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE MODEST!?"

"Oh, I see. I'm not good enough for you." Did I just hear something?

"Who said that?" I asked as I looked around to see who said that.

I then heard that same voice laugh. "Hey dumbass, ya know you look like an idiot right now. Nobody else heard that."

"Where are you? Show yourself! I'm wearing a kamui, so I could kick your ass if you wanted to!"

I heard that voice laugh again. "That would be pretty hard to do, seeing as how I am your kamui."

I then looked to my right, and saw the lapel that was Shionketsu's eye, but during that transformation sequence, the lapel more closely resembled an eye.

"Oh. I see your Shionketsu. Way to introduce yourself."

Haruhi did another heel-click. "Now, since Kyon has his kamui, any club leader can challenge him to a fight!"

That's it. I'm officially screwed.

"Oh, come on! I don't even have a weapon!" I then felt somebody tap me on the shoulder. I turned around, and saw Matoi handing me her Scissor Blade.

"Senketsu and I did some talking, and we both agree that this would be more helpful to you than to us.

I grabbed the Scissor Blade from her. "Oh, well that was convenient. Thanks."

Shionketsu laughed again. "Wow, you're terrible at flirting with girls."

"Shut up!"

Matoi chuckled. "I see you two need some time to get along."

"'Some' time is an understatement."

Matoi chuckled again. "Well, me and Senkets wish you the best of luck." She then walked away.

Well, it's probably time to face a club leader. How bad can it possibly be?

"I'll challenge him!"

Oh no….That voice sounds familiar….

I looked ahead, and saw somebody I wasn't hoping to see…

"You can call me Tsuruya! I'm the head of the Mikuru Fan Club!" She said proudly, with the adorably Asahina wearing a One-star uniform cowering behind her

The Mikuru Fan Club? I swear, this club was made specifically to take me or Matoi down.

But I do wonder, does Asahina remember me?

"Asahina!" I called out to her. She then looked at me.

"W…what do you want?" So cute!

"You remember me, right? I'm Kyon! Remember North High and the S.O.S Brigade?"

"I don't know what you're talking about….." Of course she doesn't.

"Kyon just can't get a date, can he?" Shionketsu said.

"Quiet you!"

"Hey!" Tsuruya shouted "I won't allow you to talk to Haruhi unless you defeat me!"

"Well, looks like we should settle this.

"Okay Shionketsu, you have to work with me? Understand?"

"Well what if I don't wanna?"

"That doesn't matter. You have to do what I say. Okay?"

"Whatever."

"Okay, lets go!" Tsuruya shouted again "Mikuru plushie bombardment!"

Just then, Tsuruya bombarded me with plushie based on Asahina. You'd think they'd be soft, but damn! Those things felt like rocks! I tried to dodge them, but since I was new at this, you can guess I got hit multiple times.

"Shionketsu, what can you do?"

"I ain't telling you."

Well, if you're going to be difficult, I guess I'll have to pull both of our weight. I ran up to Tsuruya to try to slash at her, but she pulled a pillow out of nowhere to deflect my attack. Apparently, the pillow was a body pillow of Miss Asahina, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want one.

Tsuruya then hurled the pillow at me, which also hurt. She bombarded me with more Mikuru plushies, and I kept getting hit until I deflected them with the Scissor Blade. They hit Tsuruya, and it knocked her on her back.

With her being vulnerable, I jumped at her, and slashed her with the Scissor Blade. The Scissor Blade destroyed her goku uniform, leaving her nude, which I glanced away at.

I couldn't help but yell "Fiber lost!" As I said that, I saw a life-fiber that was once apart of her goku uniform absorb into Shionketsu.

"Fiber acquired!" I don't know why, but that felt satisfying to say.

Shionketsu transformed back to his default state, and then I walked up to Asahina. "Since you don't remember, I'm going to have to explain."

"Explain what….?" Oh Asahina, you're so cute when you're confused!

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on either." Oh right, I kind of forget Shionketsu was just given to me, so I should probably explain to him.

Just then, Matoi, Mako, Satsuki, Inumuta, and Nagato walked up to us.

"Please, allow me to explain." Nagato said. I'm sure she'll do a better job at this than me.

…

"That's crazy. You don't expect me to believe that BS." I think Shionketsu would be better for Matoi than me.

"You're a talking uniform. Do I really need to say more?"

"I don't think I quite believe it…" Asahina said

"I have proof. Asahina, you might want to check for a star-shaped mole on your chest."

She nervously did as I said, and was shocked to see it. "Wha….But how did you know?"

I then grinned. "Classified information."

"Probably because you were peeking at her while she was changing." Shionketsu followed with a chuckle.

"Would you shut up!" I bet I looked like an idiot, because Asahina gave me a very dumbfounded look. Everybody else laughed, and I could see why they were, and even I joined in on the laughter.

Aikuro, not in his disguise, walked up to me with someone I haven't seen before.

"Kyon, I'd like to introduce you to a co-agent of mine, Tsumugu Kinagase."

"Hello there, my name is Kyon. How do you do?" I held my hand out to shake his hand, but he gave me a disgusted look.

"Another kamui user, huh?"

"…..Do you have something against me because of that?"

"Let me give you two pieces of information; Firstly, I don't trust anything made of life-fibers. Secondly, I don't trust kamuis."

A little redundant, wouldn't you say?

"And why?"

"I'll never forgive what they did to my sister…."

I then looked at Mikisugi. "Was his memory erased to?"

"Unfortunately so. I explained to him what happened, but I'm not sure if he will truly regain it unless we can change both universes back to normal."

But I do wonder; why is it that Haruhi has traces of me in her mind, but Asahina doesn't? Nagato remembers because she isn't a human, and I'll have to see about Koizumi. Hopefully, I can get something out of him, but I shouldn't get my hopes up.

"So, are you saying we might be able to restore everyone's memories?"

"I can't say if we can, but I'm hoping so."

If only Koizumi was here to help me…..I guess you don't realize how much you appreciate something until it's gone…

"Aikuro, was it really a good idea to give this student a kamui?" Kinagase asked

"It wasn't my idea. Apparently, if he doesn't, this universe will explode."

"I think you should have given him a Dotonbori Robo….."

"It's called a DTR!" Mikisugi seemed a little too upset by the name Dotonbori Robo.

"….Anyways, don't you think that would be a better idea? They can destroy life-fibers."

"It isn't that simple, as much as I'd love to make Kyon a custom DTR. This Suzumiya character wants Kyon to wear a kamui, so he has to wear a kamui."

A DTR, huh? Whatever it is, it can't be as embarrassing as wearing Shionketsu.

Speaking of Shionketsu, I wonder…

"Hey, Shionketsu, what was with the pain in my arm when you transformed?"

"Oh yeah, that. Thing is, ya can't just get power like that for free; it comes with a price ya know."

"Like what?"

"Whenever I transform, I require some of your blood. That pain in your arm was me feeding off of your blood."

Well this sucks. Not only do I have to dress like a male stripper in order to be more powerful, AND deal with a uniform who doesn't want to listen, it also drinks my blood. I might as well be making frequent visits to the blood-drives Dracula makes, because at least then I won't have to deal with Shionketsu.

[So that was Chapter 4. What do you think of Shionketsu? Good/Bad character so far? As always, your reviews are greatly appreciated, and the one review I wrote I really appreciate.]
