"Kyon?"

She nudged him. "Anyone in there?" She laughed.

"Yeah, sorry." Karou laughed and joined Mikuru entering the school.

She ran to catch up with them. She turned and saluted her friend and continued running. Kyon blushed and Kunikida and Taniguchi looked at him, confusion in
their eyes. They continued walking.

~In Room 4~

Kyon walked in to find his seat in front of Miss Suzumiya. Koizumi sat in the seat beside hers, yet the seat next to his was empty. Karou entered the room sheepishly, holding a schedule and searching for someone, anyone that she knew.

"Miss Kimora?" Sensei asked.

"Yes." She nodded.

"Please take your seat next to Kyon." He instructed.

Karou nodded and Kyon saw a grin grow on her face as she grew nearer to her seat. She sat down and turned to him.

"Looks like we're sitting together. Just like old times, huh Kyon." she teased. Forgetting Haruhi sat behind him, he smiled at his friend and replied.

"Yeah. Just like old times."

They both looked down and simultaneously mumbled,

"Hopefully..." Itsuki and Haruhi took note of this, they did not like this one bit. Haruhi cleared her throat.

"Kyon." They looked at her.

"Haruhi?" He asked.

"Kyon?" Karou asked, as if to say, 'Who is this?' Though she instead spoke to Haruhi.

"Karou Kimora..." She stuck out her hand.

"Haruhi Suzumiya." Haruhi replied rejecting Karou's offer.

After that, the class was a blur to Karou and Kyon, Kunikida was in their class, so he answered most of the problems, and there was very little that was actually interesting to pay attention to. Before they knew it, it was lunch time. Kunikida sat in the desk in front of Kyon's so he only turned around to face his friends. Karou took out her tray and turned to face the boys. Haruhi did not like this, she took this as an opportunity to figure out exactly who this girl was.

"Miss Kimora." Koizumi began. Karou shoved a dumpling in her mouth and tried to swallow as she turned to face him.

"If I may, where are you from?"

Karou swallowed. "I'm from here, originally, but I've spent the last nine years in America, studying their culture. Not by choice, but it was still abroad, I suppose."

"And you know Kyon how, exactly?" He asked once more.

"Oh, Kyon and I went to grammar school together, Kunikida too. He was with me through a lot." She smiled at her friend. Haruhi did not like this.

"America huh?" Haruhi raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. New York City to be exact." Karou responded, eating some of her rice ball.

"Fascinating." Haruhi tried to hide her excitement with sarcasm, Kyon shot her a look that told her to stop. Karou pushed her food around.

"I can't eat all this, Kyon, do you want it?" Karou asked raising a dumpling. Kyon gladly accepted and placed it on his tray. Kunikida eyed it.

"Want to split it?" Kyon asked.

"If you insist." Kunikida replied.

"Karou always did make the best." Breaking the dumpling. Karou blushed as she looked back at the two on seers.

"You know," She began, eating yet another bite of her rice ball.

"You two... Make a cute couple." Koizumi blushed, though Haruhi's face turned red and her eyes to flames. Kyon and Kunikida nearly choked on their halves of the dumpling.

"What?" Karou asked. She let out a chuckle. "What'd I say?"

Kyon simply shook his head and Kunikida let out a chuckle. Koizumi laughed as well and smiled, yet Haruhi was not thrilled at this, nor forgiving. The rest of the day simply passed.

"Thank you Sensei." The class thanked in unison.

"So Kyon, what are you doing after school?" Karou asked, trying to play it cool, but her eyes gave away her intentions.

"Why, going to the SOS Brigade of course." Koizumi replied.

"The SOS Brigade?" She looked at Kyon, nearly begging for more time.

"Yes, we are a team lead by Miss Suzumiya of course."

"Oh..." She sighed.

"You're welcome to come join us." Koizumi concluded. Karou's eyes lit up.

"Thank you... I definitely will." She looked at Kyon, grabbing his collar, she began pulling him.

"Oh... Wait. You lead the way..." She released him. The two walked off, Haruhi and Koizumi trailed behind.

"Karou?" Kyon began.

"Yes Kyon?" Karou stared up at him.

"I do remember." Karou smiled. "I remember that day before you left." He explained.

"You do, do you?" She teased.

"Yes... I remember it quite well."

He stared at her.

"Wait, You didn't?" He began.

"I wear it everyday, even to bed." She replied. "Do you?"

Kyon pulled his half of the locket out from his pocket.

"I do hope-... That we can start off again... Like when we were little." She continued.

"Oh! I almost forgot..." She began rummaging through her bag and pulled out a CD.

"Here. I made this for you. You and Kunikida should be able to appreciate it." She handed it to him. He flinched.

She really did miss him, didn't she?

"Humph! Who does she think she is?" Haruhi scowled. "Waltzing in and... And..."

"Acting like you?" Koizumi began. "I'm sure that if you give Miss Kimora a chance, you will grow to like her... Kyon sure seems to."

With a huff, Haruhi crossed her arms and continued walking. Koizumi simply shook his head.

"Hey Kyon..." Karou smiled. He looked down at her.

"Nevermind..." She shook it off. "Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby."

She hummed. "I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby..."

"Noel..." He smiled.

She walked in closer and rested her head on his shoulder for the remainder of the journey.

"I knew I'd find you..."

They reached the club room, only to find Miss Nagato already seated and Miss Asahina in her maid uniform. The group walked in. Karou approached Miss Asahina.

"Mikuru, is that you?"

She asked. She just smiled and nodded, then poured them all tea. Haruhi made her way to the computer and Koizumi sat opposite the pair, closest to Miss Suzumiya. Kyon pulled out a chair for Karou and sat next to her. She smiled at him. Haruhi rocked her chair back and forth, Karou and Kyon attempted to figure out exactly what she was doing, but gave up and just smiled at each other.

"Suzumiya-San, might we discuss the fall festival?" Koizumi suggested.

"Yes." She stopped. "Kyon." She stood up. "What instrument did you learn to play?"

"None..." He snarled. Karou nudged him. "Liar..." she whispered.

"Shh..." He hushed her. She giggled. Haruhi gave the both of them dirty looks.

"As you know, we will be doing a musical performance."

Kyon nudged Karou. "She can sing."

Haruhi stood in shock for a moment. She walked over and sat in her chair once more. Koizumi shook his head, as if to clarify that this was real.

"So, Miss Kimora, tell me about yourself..." Koizumi tried to break the tension, Mikuru nodded.

"Go on.." Kyon encouraged.

"Oh... Well, I, I don't really know what to say. I, I'm 17, one day older than Kyon here. I, I spent the last nine years in New York with my sister, dreaming of returning. I.. I got back a couple of days ago. I still live with her, but now we just live here. Our parents split a long time ago, but even after, they kept arguing. They couldn't stop. I don't know what's become of them, father's dead. I know that. But, I don't really know what else to tell you. I'm kinda boring I guess."

Haruhi chuckled. "Figures." Kyon shot Haruhi his death stare.

Karou took a good look around. 'Wait, a time-traveler, an esper, an alien? Huh! No! Kyon is, is a slider? Figures.' She smiled at him.
"So... Kyon, what have you been up to?" She asked.

"I-" Koizumi interrupted.

"Miss Kimora, tell us, how did you enjoy America?"

"Oh... I didn't really. What I really wanted was to come back. Kyon's the only person that ever made me feel like I belonged, you know? I mean, I like western culture, especially the music. But, I would have traded every second if it, to come back here."

Haruhi sighed. Over an hour had gone by, and nothing happened. Koizumi continued interrogating Karou with a smile, interrupting whenever she attempted to talk to Kyon. Yuki just read and watched it unfold, while Miss Asahina stood in awe. Haruhi just sat mad at the world, facing her computer.

"Alright.. It's getting late. Meeting adjourned."

Haruhi moped, grabbing her sweater and leaving the group. Karou let out a sigh of relief and left with the others. She turned to face them.

"I know."

Sorry, that's all I have right now, sorry if it ends in a weird place. Read and Review...
