Haruhi's Birthday

Chapter 6

"Really, what's up?" Haruhi asked.

"Oh nothing…" Kyon eventually replied.

"I heard arguing."

"We were thinking about your gift!" Mikuru blurted.

"You still haven't gotten it?" Haruhi asked, annoyed. "Do you guys even care?"

"I don't," Kyon offered.

Haruhi glared at him, and casually ignored his statement. "Really, why does everyone wait until the last minute?"

"Because you just decided like yesterday that it was your birthday! You never told anyone!"

"I did too."

"Did not!"

"Did too."

"Did not."

"Do you like Demi Lovato?" Mikuru asked.

"What?" Haruhi said, as she gave the girl a crazy look.

"She asked if you like the music of Demi Lovato," Yuki reiterated.

Haruhi scowled. "Well at least the decorations are up. Good job Itsuki! It must've been hard working with Kyon."

"Thank you, you have no idea." Itsuki replied.

"No fair he wasn't even doing as much as I did!" Kyon yelled.

"So do you like Demi or not?" Mikuru asked.

"You are not children, stop fighting!" Haruhi ordered.

"Coming from the girl who chased me around school this morning," Kyon said.

"You chased him around the school?" Itsuki asked.

"No!" Haruhi lied.

"Yes she did." Kyon assured.

"Who do you believe; me or Kyon?" Haruhi asked.

"Oh course I believe you Haruhi," Itsuki said, sucking up to the girl.

"I think I heard the sound of someone kissing ass," Kyon said.

"And I think that I see some sarcasm on your mouth right there."

"Look, if you guys are in love with me then you have to duel to the death." Haruhi said.

"Where the heck did that come from?" Kyon asked.

"You two are obviously fighting over my affection." Haruhi said.

"No I am NOT," Kyon emphasized. "Oh no, Itsuki maybe, but me no, no, no."

"During the party you two can duel to the death." Haruhi said, as she walked across the auditorium. "Yes, and I'll wear the cutest princess outfit. It will be so cute. Two brave samurai fighting over the beautiful Lady of the East or North, whichever sounds better at the time. And Yuki will be the judge and Mikuru well be the evil witch who captured me. But in the end, someone will die."

"Do you smoke weed?" Kyon asked. Haruhi glared at him angrily. She shook her head. "Instead of insulting me just admit that you like me."

"But I don't."

"Oh well if you just can't say it, oh well."

"Jesus woman I said, and for the final time by dammit, I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU! "

There was, once again an awkward moment of silence. Haruhi approached Kyon with an angry look on her face. She glared at him for a while. Then she left again, as she shouted, "Just make sure this party is ULTRA AMAZING."

"What do you actually want Haruhi?" Mikuru asked.

"Oh my goodness," Haruhi said with a sigh as she re-entered the room. "Follow me."

The gang followed Haruhi into the SOS Brigade club room. Haruhi sat at the desk and turned the computer on. She went to the club website and opened a page labeled "Haruhi's Birthday." There it had a list of activities and such. There was even a link to submit Anime Music Videos. "You see I've been working on this site for the last week and I know that I told someone about my party." Haruhi said. "This is the information that I was telling you about Kyon, you meanie."

Kyon looked at the computer. "You really did all this by yourself?" Haruhi nodded. "Wow." Kyon stated. "I guess you're not as lazy as I thought."

"Thank you," Haruhi said. "Hey wait! What do you mean by that? Well you know what, since everyone knows what to do now, I am leaving. Make sure that everything is awesome, because I want a surprise. And don't get locked out because I am not coming back to open the doors."

"Just give us the keys then."

"No thanks." Haruhi left the room and walked down the hall. Kyon took the liberty of sitting in the chair and browsing the website. There was supposed to be dance contest, a piñata, and epic limbo, as well as other party events.

"What the hell is epic limbo?" Kyon asked. Everyone shook their head. Yuki stared blankly. On the top of the webpage in giant bold letters read "DO NOT COME UNLESS YOU BRING A PRESENT AS AN OFFERING TO HARUHI!"

Mikuru yelped.

"Don't worry," Kyon said. "You will definitely find Haruhi a present."

"In what time?" Mikuru asked. "Look at all the stuff we have to set up! I can't go shopping at all."

"Why don't you go right now?"

Mikuru stared at Kyon. "I just can't leave everyone here to do all the work."

"Go ahead, we can set up epic limbo ourselves."

"Are you sure?"

Kyon nodded.
