Suzumiya Training Session

(Alan)

Morning... I look around my surroundings. Woa! Why am I sleeping on a couch? More of all… where am I?

It was little late but then my memories caught on to me. That's right, I'm in Yuji's house, and we all slept in a living room because there weren't enough rooms.

Grummmble.

…my stomach is screaming for food, ugh.

"That was a pretty loud, please keep it down. Fuko cannot concentrate."

I turned around to see Fuko carving a new wooden starfish as always. Her sister's wedding is long done but carving starfishes has been her hobby ever since.

"Who are you carving it for this time?" Fuko never kept any one of her starfishes, she would always give them out to anyone she finds.

"The weird haired person and her friend." Fuko kept on carving.

They are in for a quite a present then… I look around and I saw that Konata and Haruhi were out.

"Where did the other two go?"

"They went out early in the morning, Chigusa san made a nice breakfast, Konata san and Suzumiya san exterminated the foods, so Chigusa san went to buy some more food for Alan kun."

"Those guys… where are their manners? Fuko, do you have anything to eat? I'm starving."

Fuko stopped carving, then out of nowhere Fuko pulled out a star shaped object. Then handed it to me.

"This is Fuko's homemade starfish cakes; would Alan kun like to try one?"

I've had one of those before… I think I'm better off staving to death than dying of food poison… but…

Grumbleeee

Never mind, I'll choose quick hunger relief than suffering from this torture.

I took a bite into the starfish cake; Fuko nodded in approval then continued her carving.

"Fuko, why do you still hand those out? Isn't your sister's wedding over? Those are supposed to be invitation to the wedding right?"

"Fuko now hands them out so that people who gets these cute starfishes will wish Fuko's sister and Yuuske san happy life. Fuko is sure if people receive something this cute they will… something this cute…"

Great… It's happening again.

"Hyaaaa."

"Oh Alan kun, you've woken up… ara… what happened to Fu-chan?"

It was Chigusa san, I would have been really surprised at her extreme kindness if I haven't met Sanae san from Fuko's dimension before. I guess people who are just entity of pure kindness exist.

"She has these dreamy spells when she sees too much starfish, Just leave her be…"

Chigusa san just smiled kindly then nodded. "I see, so Alan kun would you like breakfast? Actually it would be lunch since its noon already."

"I'm sorry to impose on you like this… not just me but let me say thank you in place of everyone else."

"No problem, it's actually quite fun to see this house become so lively with people."

"…Is that so? Where are those two, Yuji and Shana?"

"I don't know, they went out in early morning as well… I know that they had their early morning training session. Maybe they are doing some extended training."

(Yuji)

"Sha Shana… can we stop now? I've been swinging Blutsager around for more than three hours."

"You can't let that happen Shana chan! Don't give in to the pity and keep going that is the only way he can become stronger!" One who was yelling was Suzumiya san, she noticed us leaving for training then decided to follow us…

Suzumiya san filled Shana such weird ideas about the training, such as 'pushing yourself to the limit' or 'pain is your best friend.' So I've been sparring with Shana non stop all morning.

What I was surprised at is though, if it was few months ago I would be on the floor dying with exhaustion, but right now I feel like I can still go on. I guess I have become much stronger.

"Yuji, stop daydreaming!" I came to and dodged the strike from Nietono Shana.

"Yuji, you can't daydream in midst of a battle, that would be the end of you."

"But this is not a battle it's just a training!" I complained.

Suzumiya san came down from the hill and said kindly to Shana, "Shana chan, you can take a break now I'll take on the training for now."

"But Yuji is my responsibility!" Shana protested.

"Don't worry, geeze I won't be doing something like stealing this idiot away from you or anything. I'm not interested romance." Suzumiya san then added, "I just don't want Yuji and you to go through what Alan and I went through."

"… That's not what I'm worried about…" Shana turned away blushing, and then said while walking away "Don't go easy on him."

I'll be ok… I mean it can't be worse than Shana's training right?

Suzumiya san turned towards me, her eyes were full of playfulness, and "Shall we get started?"

I nodded.

"Good, we are going to go all out for a minute and then you are done for the day." She said while flicking her long hair. "So use everything you have, only rule is 'do not kill each other', understood!?"

"Yes Ma'am." I found myself say.

"Here it comes…" Suzumiya san said cheerfully as she was surrounded by glowing light. Soon after stood Suzumiya san in blue armour, it looked like one warrior armours you saw in a fantasy games. But what worried me most was the sword in her right hand.

Suzumiya san lunged, I quickly parried with Blutsager and counter attacked. However, my counter attack didn't meet any target. Suzumiya san was already gone.

'Where did she go?'

Then I sensed a killing intent coming from the top.

"Haaa!!"

I barely managed to dodge it. I gave ground to catch some breath. However Suzumiya san kept coming after me with one slash after another.

Blutsager was a huge sword and didn't give much mobility… while her sword was probably very light and enabled her to strike fast. It was difficult to parry her attacks.

However, Blutsager can cause more damage... That's it!

I smashed to Blutsager on the ground, causing a huge explosion. Suzumiya san was forced to back up to avoid the explosion. I could catch some breath.

"…Cheap move," Suzumyia san muttered then yelled. "Shinjin!"

Blue giant from yesterday appeared and it swung a huge punch. I dodged and cut off its hand. However, Suzumiya san not missing this chance can in for the strike.

Luckly for me The arm of the giant was falling down on both of us, so we both had to jump away.

'I can't keep on the defensive, I have to attack…' I thought as I formed a silver flame in my hand.

Suzumiya san was startled, and then gave a smirk. "Alright that's how it's going to be huh? Brigade Chief does not know defeat! Here is attack that I just made up right now!"

Suzumiya san drew a triangle with her sword. Amazingly, the triangle took shape its color was the same as those which made up the blue giants.

All of a sudden a huge beam came out of the triangle and rushed towards me. Surprised I threw my silver flame.

They both collided in the middle and exploded. When the smokes cleared, I could hear the Shana yelling out. "Minute is over!"

Suzumiya san looked at me with displeasingly. "Hmph not bad…"

Shana looked quite surprised, as she came towards us. She spoke to Suzumyia san. "I've never knew you were so strong, I seemed as if you just invented your own unrestricted spell with mere thought just now."

…What about me? Didn't I fight well?

Just as if answering my thoughts I heard another voice from behind me. "Yuji did a good job fighting you Haruhi."

It was Alan.

(Alan)

"Way to show off Haruhi…" Seriously… that outfit was pointless, she probably wanted to show Shana and Yuji how 'cool' she is.

Of course… Haruhi, full of herself; just ignored what I just said. "Did you see that Alan? I call it the triforce!"

"That name for an attack is taken… in more than one dimension I'm afraid, try to be original for once."

"How can I? with millions of dimensions out there? It's them stealing my ideas for a name! Mine is original!"

Sure… you are the goddess after all. We peons need to obey.

Shana finally recognized Yuji and smiled. "Yuji did great; you are getting really strong now."

So Yuji gets respect he deserves… but I still don't like this red haired midget, the reason for the grudge doesn't even need explaining. She attacked me right off the bat when we arrived here.

The Fuzetsu was called off after every damage was repaired…. And Haruhi after a long exercise yelled out. "Let's go have some fun!" Haruhi grabbed both Yuji and Shana, both were looking nervously at Haruhi.

"Sorry Haruhi, I can't come along I have to check on Fuko if she came to..." Using that as an excuse I ran away from Haruhi's madness.

… But then, I have nothing to do… Lucky star will reveal itself in time. When it appears I will definitely sense it. Same goes for the Key. As for the Flame… I have no idea where to start. I'll ask Kanata san later.

I returned to Yuji's home. No way… is this a new record?

"Hyaaaaaaa"

She's still like this… I sat in front of her. What kind of divine punishment are you asking for?

I know; let's use the old 'Juice up to nose' prank, Tomoya and I had a blast using that prank.

I grabbed a juice box from the fridge than brought it up to Fuko's nose. Then just when I was about to squirt it up she came to.

I quickly hid the juice box. Damn it! So close!

"Huh? What were we talking about Alan kun?"

"Nothing… just keep carving… just keep carving."
