The - Kiss
…………………………………………………………………………………..
Yuki Nagato walked on from behind Haruhi all the while reading a book. While she showed an air of calm, Suzumiya on the other hand wasn't as such. Although it would be no big deal to others, it was for Haruhi to find herself walking home with someone else by her side. She can't remember when she last walked with anyone. Not even her parents when she was still little. She had no one to even talk to before the S.O.S Dan. Now the person she least expected to get close to her was the one who has asked to walk her home. The only one - ever.
Were it someone else, she would've just ignored them or showed them her true self and they would beat it like the idiots they were. This girl who was walking behind her however was different. It seemed that she care what Haruhi did or said. She remembers the Island incident when Yuki pulled that prank on her, though she wasn't so sure it was a prank seeing as Yuki never made un-necessary cracks or talked to much, even now. Haruhi decided to ask to be sure what really went on, on that Island. She slowed down a bit to let the smaller girl come by her side.
"Yuki, do you remember that time we went with the others to that Island?" Yuki looked from her book and turned a little to peer at Haruhi who tool that as a sign to continue. "I asked you to look after Mikuru-chan and not to let anyone else in the room." Yuki only blinked. This was a yes to Haruhi though as she continued, "We came back and I asked you to let us in but you didn't. Why?" Yuki blinked again and repeated what she had said before on that Island, "You ordered me not to let anyone else inside so I didn't." Haruhi made a face and this would be a bad sign to others but apparently not to Yuki.
"Yuki, you aren't a robot or something. You have something called 'common sense' that human beings have. Now unless you are any other kind of animal or an alien, which you obviously aren't, then you would've let us in when we came back. So why didn't you?" Needless to say, Haruhi Suzumiya was really angry at this time almost pissed. She was now facing Yuki full on having somehow ended up in front of her in her speech. Since she was facing the opposite way from Yuki, she never saw the crack that appeared in the sky right behind her. Yuki saw it and new that she had to take steps to calm this being down.
She wasn't as sure as to what to do. How did that human Kyon manage to Haruhi obedient and do what he says, or for that matter, how did he manage to make her do what he said? She knows that she did it because if she didn't then Haruhi would get emotionally unstable and that would not be profitable. Yet, here she was being reminded of how she had disobeyed Haruhi. Did she make the wrong decision when she was asked not to let anyone it and she did not? Why did she then open it when Kyon asked! Maybe she has spent a little more time than needed as right behind Haruhi, in that crack, some kind of magnified shapeless form began to squeeze through.
She searched her hard drives to find some action she should take in order to prevent Haruhi from erasing this world, is a different way. She remembers that one book she read about a guy who silenced a girl by kissing her. She was no male but all the more to shock Suzumiya Haruhi from her destructive thoughts. And with that, though it is irrelevant to Yuki and doesn't even register to her that it is her first kiss, she kisses a un-expecting Haruhi full on the lips. Haruhi who had been in the process of letting lose from the lack of a response, despite her bravado, was really shocked when she felt the other girl's soft, small and delicate lips upon hers. Her first kiss taken by Yuki Nagato of all people.
Yes, she too has thought of these things and it didn't help that she had a lot of time on her hands which gave her all the more free time to think of such things. She never understood what the big deal was about a kiss and giving it to a certain person first. To her, people kissed all the time they had ice cream, or drunk from a bottle yet they made a great deal of it. Why? She would ask herself all the time. Now she understands them, at least a little bit. She understands what the deal is with something called a kiss. Meeting lips with Yuki, gave her such a weird feeling but most definitely not bad.
Haruhi wondered why she hadn't pulled back yet from it. It wasn't that she was disgusted or anything but they were in the middle of the street and people all around were watching them. Is that her class's rep she sees on the other side of the street? Oh well, who cares? She was known among all men and women that she was on a different wavelength and world from all the rest. Yet at the moment, it would be said that she was in Yuki's world and thus on the same frequency as her. She was still in her thoughts, when she felt that warmth she has felt for the first time in her life leave her as Yuki pulls back.
Maybe she should've thought less and enjoyed the kiss while it lasted instead. Damn it, damn it all. Thunder and lightening struck and boomed in the distance. Yuki went back to her book and walked on having put a stop to the closed space from preceding its course of destruction. She held the book in her hands and her eyes too were on its pages but her highly advanced brain was on something completely different. The reactions her body and more got from the contact with her charge were much uncalculated. She felt drown to continue it for seconds more but her task had been done and her plan did what she wanted to achieve. Yuki hadn't thought it would feel like that. Now that her task had been done and glancing a little towards Haruhi show that she was a little cheery, Yuki decided it would be better for her to leave.
Haruhi was worse off than Yuki though. She had thought the world boring before since she was a child and had that conversation with her dad that changed her perception on life. Today she discovered something that she might actually enjoy doing that those other retched masses also did – She might just have gotten her first crush. She didn't believe that kissing somebody else might feel like this. She started to imagine herself kissing someone else and it didn't even make her blink. Yet Yuki's kiss was completely different. Almost unnatural – and did she like unnatural or what? She thought about it for a second and decided to let it go for now. It would pass eventually, it will. She decided that this girl Yuki will never cease to amaze her.
First, to go against her, Suzumiya Haruhi and then now having the guts to kiss her, She didn't know why the girl had done it but she felt a little happy than she was for the last couple of days. This would give her more thoughts to pass her time. A thought came out of no where that it made her do something she thought she may never do. She wondered when she might be able to feel those little lips of Yuki's and blushed. Her, a person who had swore to do the uncommon, she blushed! She got it quickly under control and tried to see if the other girl had seen her in her embarrassing state. But she had stopped and turned at one corner and was facing the other way. Haruhi knew even without the girl saying it that she was going home.
Suzumiya didn't want to mention it either that they were not yet there at her house since Yuki volunteered to see her there but that kiss had gotten to the both of them. Yuki showed no signs of it except the going home thing and that's what Haruhi picked up on. "You are going home?" She voiced her perceptions. Yuki nodded mutely but before she walked away, she turned and paused as if waiting for Haruhi's 'go'. The brown haired girl smiled to herself and almost nodded but her super brain came up with another random thought and she was one that did what came to her mind at once without thinking about it more. She walked over to the smaller girl and fondly placed a kiss on her right cheek then nodded and before Yuki's reaction came, she was on her heels and going home.
Yuki watched Suzumiya Haruhi walk off in the distance and when she turned a corner somewhere, her tiny fingers came up to feel her cheek that still felt the effects of Haruhi's lips. No one was around to see her and even if someone told then that something incredible happened, they would never believe you. Right here and now, as Yuki Nagato's brain stopped functioning for a few seconds, Yuki smiled. It seemed that not even she herself knew that she smiled. She stayed like that for said seconds then she picked up her book bag that had fallen unnoticed and walked to her residence. She was now – before she was 99.2345432 that Haruhi Suzumiya was a great being, 100 sure that Suzumiya Haruhi is a god. Why? Because she made 'her' feel.
Yuki felt and knew that today, she has done more than just helping Haruhi out of boredom but she has also changed the future. The known future at least. When she chose to kiss Suzumiya Haruhi, she hadn't thought of the consequences until she had already done it. That kiss is going to change everything and she didn't know how to stop it. She had unknowingly taken over Kyon's role in this whole matter and now everything is changed. Yuki was sure that she would be hearing from her people some time soon. This however did not bother her in the least. She has done what was asked of her and the means by which she completed the task didn't matter as long as it was successfully completed. Yuki walked on to her home and decided to await what her punishment will be because there was certainly going to be one.
The next day in the club room, everything was normal and a certain someone was really glad for the norm. Things being normal these days around this place meant one thing and one thing only – Haruhi was not in the room. This of course explains to us who this someone is and why he is so happy. You had to wonder why in God's name he wouldn't just leave and never come back! Kyon being that someone and is at the present playing cards with his other male buddy in the club, Itsuki Koizumi. Kyon was not winning as usual and Itsuki had on that ever present smile of his annoyed Kyon at the moment seeing as he was losing a lot. He turned to Yuki who was reading another book when Itsuki started shuffling the cards for another game.
Yesterday when they went to see Itsuki and his pals destroy the giant in the enclosed space, just as they got there, the special started cracking as the giant disappeared suddenly and everything returned to normal. They knew then that Yuki had succeeded in brightening up Haruhi but Kyon wondered what exactly she did to pull it off. It seemed to him that Yuki was the exact opposite of Haruhi not to mention that the last time they talked, Nagato completely misunderstood Haruhi. Kyon wondered now that maybe Haruhi didn't bother with Yuki before because she knew her unconsciously to not understand her and so she had he and Mikuru-chan do all the work. He tried to read her eyes but the glasses were ridiculously hiding them – not that he could read eyes of course.
"BAM." The doors bust open and in came the fearless leader. Kyon sighed. Whenever Suzumiya Haruhi came in with a grin like that, it spelt trouble for him and the rest. Well, by the way that Mikuru-chan stiffened with a cup of tea in her hands by Kyon, showed that she too was thinking trouble. Itsuki just smiled and greeted Haruhi as always. Kyon thought him the best Haruhi henchman leader ever. "Okay everyone, sorry I've been away fro so long," 'You are not sorry', thought Kyon to himself, "but rejoice. I have got just a fail proof plan that will get the students to recognise us and bring us the supernatural." 'Uh-oh.' Kyon again. "This year's school festival, we are going to host an event that will shake this little boring world into realisation of us."
