Hey I'm baackkk...
I'm sorry for the absence, but everything is over and my laptop is fixed, yay! I can finally get back to updating, gah! Yay! I do not own the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Read and review... thank you! o3o

"I've been here and haven't seen a thing... I've missed it."

Haruhi lit up. "Of course! We will show our fellow brigade member her home!"

Anya rolled her eyes.

"I will phone Miss Asahina and Miss Nagato..." Koizumi added.

"Good..." Haruhi clapped.

"Oh... Boys may shower in my room, Miss Suzumiya and I will use Anya's..."

Anya shot her sister a look but gave in sipping her tea. Karou ushered Haruhi into her sister's bathroom. She gave Haruhi two plush towels (yet another luxury her sister had brought with her) and showed her how to operate the shower.

"I will rundown the minimart and purchase the three of you toothbrushes." She smiled.

Haruhi nodded and Kimora exited. She then did the same for Koizumi in her room.

"Lovely room." He smiled. She rolled her eyes.

"Sorry... Just on low sleep."

He nodded and allowed her to show him how to operate her bathroom, handing him, too a plush towel. She smiled.

"I will go and buy other supplies."

She informed him. He attempted to object but she left. She walked into the dining room to find Anya in full pursuit of Kyon. She laughed to herself and exited. Kyon followed. The two walked down towards the minimart. They purchased three tooth brushes and an apple, Kyon insisted on a banana. They had also purchased undergarments for the trio. The two ate their breakfast and walked to the clothing store across the road. Kyon trailed her bouncing hair. She smiled at him as they ran. She picked out some tee-shirts and khaki's for Itsuki. Kyon still dumbfounded at the secrecy between the two. She held up shirts to Kyon. Jeans and a sweatshirt for him. They then picked a sweater and polo for Haruhi, slightly larger than her own size.

"She is a bit taller, my clothes may be too small."

Kyon held the pile. She had found a sweatshirt, men's. She hugged it. It was soft. Kyon smiled and added it to the pile. She went to find another sweater and Kyon paid in secret. She then purchased the floral sweater. They two then made their way back to the apartment. The two were out of the shower in their plush towels. They placed the bags on the table telling them to sort through it. Kyon grabbed an outfit for himself and a towel then walked and took his shower. Kimora did the same and exited in her plush towel, holding it up. Kyon was slumped on the couch, he allowed his head to perk up. She faked a laugh and headed for her room, she threw on a pair of Jean capris and an over sized band shirt that hung over her shoulder. She brushed through her tangled hair and threw it up. On her bed lye the sweatshirt from the store. She smiled and threw on her boots. She grabbed her bag and the sweatshirt and walked in to join the group, now accompanied by the two absentee females. She plastered a smile and threw on the jacket. All of the girls wore floral shirts or Polos and knee length skirts, she felt desperately out of place. Koizumi and Kyon smiled at her.

"Perfect..." Kyon muttered.

"Beautiful..." Itsuki assured.

She blushed but quickly ended it as Haruhi began to pout. No. Not again. She ushered them out and to the street. Itsuki's expression still plastered upon his face. Kimora had to smile at the fellow esper.

"So where shall we go first?" He asked.

"Oh... Where ever you guys want really..." She smiled.

An evil grin grew upon Haruhi's face. She led them to a small diner. They were seated at a booth and Miss Suzumiya explained her plan. It was the same as before. They would break off into two groups, journey through the town, two hours with each and they must call if they found anything interesting. They had done this before. Kyon opened his mouth to protest but decided against it.

"We can get to know Miss Kimora better..."

She snapped grabbing six toothpicks. Three with red tails and three with green. She placed the toothpicks tails down in her palm and clenched her fist, offering them to her brigade. She had red, so had Koizumi and Yuki. Not the group she wanted. Not at all. She wanted green. She wanted Kimora and Kyon. She wanted to figure out her mind and hear more about sliders. Yuki would want to go to the library and Kouzumi would just agree, with everything. She looked at it puzzled and slightly annoyed. Koizumi simply smiled at her. Kimora looked at him, concern showing through her plastered smile. She looked at her group, Kyon and Mikuru. She was terrified. She didn't know what they would do or what they would ask her.

"Return in two hour, we'll choose again."

Haruhi tried to sound joyful but she stormed out, her group following her. Kimora's group followed. Once outside Kimora let out a sigh and allowed her face to relax.

"I am sorry Mikuru..." She stared at the ground.

"I shouldn't have..." She was interrupted.

"It's fine, you just saved me the hassle of explaining it to him myself."

Karou allowed her expression to perk up. They walked around a park. Nature was always peaceful. Kimora always loved it. She loved the park. She and Kyon spent the majority of their time there. Mikuru broke the silence.

"Do you have a cover?" She asked.

She and Kyon were a bit taken aback. It wasn't like her to be so forward. Kimora collected herself.

"Yes, Though since Kyon and Kunikida still live here I have to use my actual history. Moved and went to America, we transferred back." Mikuru nodded and the silence crept back.

This time Kyon spoke. He had finally gathered enough of himself to ask it.

"So... How did you become an esper anyway?" Kimora nodded, she had been expecting that question.

"About five years ago, I had spent every day of my life wishing to go and fly away, but once I left I wanted to return. So five years ago I was wishing on what I believed to be a shooting star."

"It wasn't?" He asked, Mikuru shushed him.

"No, it wasn't..." She smiled. "It was Itsuki." She paused. "Anyway I was wishing to return, to leave everything behind. Before I knew it, I was engulfed in a ball of ember. It was bringing me here, Back to everything." She stopped.

"It was different though... There were monsters. My powers shined through and we fought them." She continued on.

"There must have been dozens. There were seven of us. Seven at the time. We were the youngest."

She allowed a smile to creep across her lips.

"We met after it all... He was my only friend... He listened and understood. He too wished to escape. I am here because I was reassigned. They thought that he could use some help. So they reassigned me and Anya and I left." She concluded.

Ninety minutes had passed.

"Miss Suzumiya will be looking for us soon..."

Mikuru squealed. Kyon nodded and let his head fall as he followed. Kimora stopped him, he was upset.

"You... You weren't there..." She muttered

I deeply apologize for absence, and thank any of my loyal readers, you rock! You really do! I promise to try and update when I can... I don't own the melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya series.
