I grew fat over the break. Damn.

Disclaimers:I do not own TMoSH, or any of its characters. Tanigawa-sensei does.

Warnings:Everything. Gaah, I'm tired.

This is not [insert TMoSH character's name here]'s PoV, but just a normal narrator. It was originally supposed to be a Kyon PoV, but in the middle I changed my mind.

A tout à l'heure

Haruhi held the phone in front of her angrily. It seems like Koizumi had contacted Kyon's home number but had cut the call without telling them his location. Haruhi continued fumbling with the redial key, but the call wouldn't go through.

"Damn! Just one more time! Why won't the damn call connect?"

All of a sudden, she threw the phone away. Heatedly she went to the bed, and sobbed. Kyon continued drying my hair with the towel from earlier, and sat next to Haruhi.

"Maybe there was something wrong with the phone. Why don't you give up for now and—"

"I won't give up! Koizumi-kun's life is on the line in here! And how can you be so apathetic to him? He was once your partner, right? So why are you like this to him? Are you that merciless?"

She looked at Kyon defiantly while defending her case. Koizumi-kun's life weighs for her as much as Kyon's life was. She treats all of her friends like this. She does.

"He was the one who does not want me in the first place anyway. You've heard his words, right? He does not want to hear anything from me. Shouldn't I just let him go?"

"But you're the one who started everything!"

"Does that mean that you also do not want this relationship? Are we breaking up?"

That has gotten Haruhi to stop and think about her past actions, up to now. She knows that she loves Kyon, and she also knew about Koizumi's case. But she wanted this for herself. What she could not work out was her guilt.

"N-No, it's not that Kyon. But Koizumi is still a friend. And we must help him. I know we've done him something really wrong that made him like that. It's not like I want him to end up that way, but I want you more than anyone Kyon. But, can't we just help him once?"

"Why did he even call in the first place? We're not lovers anymore, I swear."

"Maybe it is because it's Christmas? Koizumi-kun might've just wanted to hear you once again. It's my fault; I spoke without thinking. I shouldn't have just answered his call. I didn't know that the effect would be bad. I didn't know…"

Kyon then pulled Haruhi towards him, his still damp body pressing to her lithe figure, which was already trembling and on the brink of tears. Gingerly her hands went up to Kyon's own and then held it tight, while snuggling deep into Kyon once more.

"I know that this is wrong, yet for me this is the only right thing in this world. We love each other Kyon, and I bet Koizumi-kun understood it now. But why do I feel guilty? It's like I was the cause of his situation now."

"No, you did not do anything wrong. Koizumi was simply crazy over his love for me that it ended up destroying him. It was his choice to become distressed and lonely; we just did what we needed to do."

Kyon then held Haruhi's chin and tilted it up, while he captured her lips in a passionate kiss. It was only after a while that Kyon pulled away.

"You know that I love you. And no matter how thinks would worsen, or if you get jealous, I'll repeat these words to you: I love you, and that will never change. I love you, Suzumiya Haruhi, and not Koizumi Itsuki."

"…Really?"

Haruhi looked at Kyon, and was met with Kyon approving nod. Securely she placed her head on his bare chest, heaving and full of life. Then she remembered Koizumi; his cries, his apologies, and all the hurt and hate that seemed to pour out of him towards Haruhi's ears.

If Koizumi is really hurt, then I won't be able to forgive myself. I'll even give Kyon back if it needs to be.

Haruhi's mind became filled with those thoughts. And even with Kyon's humming and breathing couldn't make Haruhi's jittery feeling go away…

"Ah, Izumi-kun is still not awake, but the doctor said that it's okay to visit him already."

The floor was silent except for the sound of footsteps against the tiled floor. The nurses went past the two people facing each other outside a private room. It was a petite girl and a middle-aged man. The two seemed to be under a serious conversation.

"I understand. I just went here to see if he's still alive."

The petite girl's answer was monotonous, yet strangely alive. The middle-aged man looked at her, hoping to catch a glimpse of her true nature. Unfortunately, he could not do so.

"Anyway, you said you came from—"

"Yes, I do. Our parents had divorced this year. Koi-nii does not want our parents to file a divorce. So when the divorce was finally formal, he escaped from home. It was just last month that I've found where he was."

The landlord looked at the small girl curiously. He did not know that Izumi-kun had a younger sister, nor did he ever mention a younger sibling in his family. All Izumi-kun had told him about was his parents and pets. No younger sister.

So, who was this girl?

He looked at her more closely now, looking for some resemblance. But her mannerisms, physical appearance, the way she stands or the way she talks does not even come close to resembling Izumi-kun. But he could not sniff out a fraud; it's as if this little girl had been telling lies with her unconsciously doing it! She was drowning in her own lies, it seems.

"If you do not believe that I was Izumi Koi's younger sister then I have nothing against you. I respect you for your concern over Izumi Koi. But respect my position too; I am his younger sister. And at this point in his life, what he needs is family."

The pale-haired girl looked defiantly with pale violet eyes to the landlord's own; her blank stare gave the landlord the creeps. It was the same as Izumi-kun's eyes, though his eyes appear much softer and sadder.

"A-Ah, if you say so then I suppose I cannot argue anymore, can I?"

The middle-aged man held his hands up as if in surrender, with the small girl still looking blankly at him, as if she does not understand his expression.

"…I understand."

The landlord let his hands drop into his sides as he looked once again to the small girl, where he was met with only a cold glare.

"Huh?"

The small girl looked at him blankly, and as she spoke to him for the last time, she used a very monotonous voice.

"Koi-nii looks like a strong person, but undergoing all through those challenges he had been pressured. He does not mean to do any harm; he merely wishes for other's people's happiness first before his own. Thank you for taking good care of my brother until now. I'll be paying for his hospital bill. Then, good day."

The door was then opened and closed, leaving the landlord standing all alone outside the private room. It was still silent, with the occasional sound of footsteps echoing from some part of the hallway.

The landlord then walked away dejectedly, fearing for anything that might happen if the young girl earlier happened to not be really Izumi-kun's younger sister.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Author'sNotes: Chapter four, finished! Yaaa, I was so tired. I hate this month because it's stressful (many people died). Oh, sorry for the sudden French title. It translates to "See you in a little while." I was having my French mania again, forgive me. Actually, the chapters 2, 3, and this one, which is 4, is all posted in just one day. I had finished ahead of time. And due to stress, I'm sensing an impending hiatus. I might put all my stories into hiatus, if this continues.

This is an add-on chapter together with chapter three! I really had not intended for these chapters to come up. But ever since the first chapter, I had only been copying down the story from the preview, right? So here! I hope this will add the spice in the story. I had also made Nagato act as Koizumi's sister for Koizumi to still have a connection to SOS Brigade. I'm excited about next chapter! Because Koizumi is… Kyon is…

No spoilers guys, sorry. I don't want to mess anything up. Christmas is near! I'm gonna go buy chocolates for my friends; and for… her. Damn! I'm acting too cheesy over a girl again… Damn… Don't tell me…!

Oh don't mind me; I'm merely typing. Anyway, review lots. Adios! Hasta pronto.
