Thank you for all of the amazing reviews, and sorry about Kyon blowing up, just remember he is part human, so he isn't perfect... He's been known to blow up from time to time; I thought it called for it, but I could be wrong. Anyway, thank you. Read and review, Salem14 does not own Haruhi Suzumiya franchise. With love~Salem14

"Miss Kimora."

"Miss Kimora?" The Sensei inquired.

"Yes Sensei." She sighed.

"Can you solve this."

"Yes Sensei." She answered.

'18y-19=6y+17' y=3

"Three Sensei." She answered within seconds. The class turned to look at her, mouths gaping.

"Yes... Well good job Miss Kimora, that... That is correct."

She looked at Kunikida and Kyon.

"What? It's Algebra 1... Kid stuff." She looked away.

A smile grew on both Haruhi and Kunikida's faces. Karou began blushing uncontrollably. Pulling at her hair. She stayed quiet until lunch time. Only responding if called on. Ignoring Kunikida's constant attempts to start a conversation. When the bell rang students would get up and move to wherever they pleased. Karou just sat there, pulling out her tray. Kunikida began.

"You know..." He placed a dumpling into his mouth. "The mathletes could use another member."

Karou blushed, but went back to her tray.

"Hey." Haruhi snapped.

"What did I tell you about trying to steal my brigade members? Remember what happened with Yuki?"

Kunikida gulped and opened his mouth to begin, but Koizumi spoke instead.

"Yes Miss Kimora is already a vital member to the brigade."

Karou turned a beet red, back in America, no one wanted her in their club. No one wanted to hangout with her. She was the foreigner with the crazy sister. Kyon allowed his mouth to gape open, Karou did the same.

"I... I am?" She uttered.

"Yes." Haruhi snapped her head in Karou's direction. "Everyone seems to like you. And you seem quite valuable to the brigade."

Karou tried to hide her insecurities by returning to her food.

"Oh!" Haruhi began. "How tall are you exactly?" Karou didn't take much thought into the question.

"About 5'2." She finally grasped the question. "Why?"

"Oh nothing..." Haruhi trailed off. Karou slowly turned her head back to her food.

"Kyon," Haruhi pried. "Now that Miss Kimora is officially in the brigade, you must treat her with SOME respect."

The pairs mouths lye open. If only she had known exactly how much they respected each other. How they felt.

"Yeah Kyon." Karou faked a laugh, placing rice in her mouth. "Listen to your girlfriend."

All faces turned a dark red, choking on their lunches.

"Girlfriend?" Kyon choked. "She's not my..." He looked back at Haruhi who was ready to rip anyone's head off. Itsuki simply smiled.

"Yeah she is." Karou tried not to pry. "That's what Koizumi told me..." She trailed off.

"You know, YOU should have told me."

She took another group of rice. Haruhi was frozen, unable to find a possible thing to do or word to say. Kyon was now glaring down at Koizumi. Kunikida sat much like Haruhi, unable to find a possible solution. Karou just sat there, eating her rice, staring at her "friends" awaiting a reply. Kyon attempted to curse out Itsuki, but only ended up growling.

"You know..." She began. "I WAS really mad, cause you know; I spent nine years dreaming of seeing him again. But now..."

She placed her final bit of food with in her mouth.

"Now I get it... I wasn't here. I couldn't expect you to wait forever."

Kyon let out a mini gasp and let his mouth fall.

"Karou..." Kyon and Kunikida cooed.

"No.. I get it." She smiled. "It's better this way."

The bell rang and the room became silent. When it was over, against Kunikida's pleas and wishes, Karou headed to the clubroom. Kyon ran to walk with her.

"Karou..." He began. "I... I didn't know."

She ignored him, but hummed something, something Kyon recognized.

"And if holding her means
I have to bleed
Then I am the martyr
Love is to blame
She is the healing
And I the pain..."

She sang to herself. Kyon looked at her. That song, it's... It's his song. Kyon grabbed her shoulders to stop her as the halls cleared.

"Karou..." He cooed.

She wouldn't look him in the eye.

"I get it Kyon. I get it."

"No you don't." He snapped. She got of his grasp.

"Kyon... I do, now leave me alone. Okay?!"

She walked off to the clubroom. Itsuki walked up behind Kyon and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"She is something isn't she?"

He chuckled. The two walked off. Once inside the clubroom, they took their respective seats. Karou played with her hair.

"Haruhi..." She began, "Do you believe in sliders?"

Haruhi's head shot from the computer. Kyon stared at the girl, shocked. His mouth fell, the others followed.

"Sliders?" Her eyebrows shot up.

"Yeah... I've been contemplating their existence." Karou grinned.

"You see... When I was younger, my mom and I were making the journey to my aunts house, the night before my departure... Our car... It, it caught on
fire."

She looked at Kyon, his anger turned to terror and shock.

"And... Well... We all blacked out, everyone of us. Someone saved us, he saved me... Me and my sister, even my mother. They stayed out, unconscious. I saw him. I saw his face and his figure. He carried me out, he, he made me feel safe again. He squeezed on my locket and I awoke. He threw our bags next to us and ran off..." She explained.

"He left my tape, from the trunk, in my hand. He knew, he knew that I would need it."

Her gaze shifted from the table to Haruhi.

"And this boy..." Haruhi inquired.

"Possibly a junior, I think. He had on a North High uniform."

Haruhi gasped. Karou's eyes fixated on her expression. She opened her mouth, but Kyon placed his hand on her shoulder telling her to stop. She bowed her head.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you any of this." She blushed.

"Meeting adjourned!" Haruhi jumped up. "I have to research this!"

She ran out the door slamming it behind her.
Karou looked at Koizumi.

"Now she's excited. Is that better?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Much." Koizumi bowed his head grabbing his jacket.

"Now I regret to inform you, that I must go."

Mikuru squealed as she and Yuki joined him. Kyon looked at Karou. She looked towards the window.

"It was you..."

There you, there's more to come, thank you for the amazing reviews 3 I'll write as long as you guys want me to. :)
