"We are here." Nagato Yuki stated in her soft voice. Haruhi upon hearing that opened her deep eyes and…blinked. She blinked some more. When Yuki didn't here the girl's expected response, turned in the lap to see what was wrong but didn't have time for explanations instead she got a little more confused. Haruhi put her hands on the alien's waste and gently got her to stand up. Stand, Yuki did and it was to be feared how the alien never even flinched at what happened next.

As soon as Yuki was away from her, Haruhi took off like a criminal charged of murder finding an escape route. Well, Yuki's mouth did open and close, once at the scene for how could anyone not react at that? There they were, in the middle of nowhere, everything was green, mountains, more green, more mountains and Haruhi just took off like she was in her own backyard! Yuki turned her heard downwards and her eyes seemed to be accessing the situation but more shocking things were still to come.

Yuki heard a crazy sound coming from behind the few trees that were around the corner and she started to head there thinking that the other girl might be in danger. Upon the thought of danger, Yuki picked up her pace and before she was in the clearing, she was greeted at yet another heart stopper. The first time it happened, any normal person would've missed it but we all know Yuki is no ordinary person. But for all that, even she didn't get the time to process anything until it happened the next time, just as before but in a different direction this time.

To put it simply, Haruhi was on the back of a Macrurosaurus' tail, swinging around. Okay, truthfully, she was being swung around. It was like tying a knot at the end of a long whip and swinging it around. This might have called for a quick emergency save but the laughter that was emitting from the crazy girl showed that she was in no need of saving. Even Yuki shook her head at that. Truthfully, if she was the talkative type, she would've asked Haruhi to cut it out for, even if it looked like fun, it would all go down hill was the tail to start heading towards the ground. If that happens, the autopsy team would have a field day at the morgue.

That was not what the alien wanted to see at all so she made the decision to tell Haruhi to come down from there when next she comes flying through the air. Yuki waited. Ten seconds, thirty, a minute and Haruhi didn't appear again. Did the animal flatten her already? The conclusion was made upon the facts that the Macrurosaurus, which wasn't alone it seemed, judging from the sounds that followed, came running in a herd as if running from something.

Yuki stayed still in the entire ruckus that the animals were making and the shaking of the ground that sounded like 6 scale earthquakes. With each animal weighing tonnes, you can imagine how deafening the sounds were. Once the herd disappeared into the distance, peace was restored…for a while until Haruhi's scream came next. This time the voice of the Commander had no mirth in it like the previous time. This time, there was real fear in the strong voice.

Yuki prepared herself for an explanation at what had scared her leader so. The explanation was not received for Haruhi just ran by at top speed, apparently forgetting that Yuki was there. Yuki raised her hand then lowered it thinking that she was forgotten.

"Yuki, what the hell are you doing standing there?!" Get running." Yuki showed confusion so Haruhi just used emergency brakes came back and howled the alien in her arms – Then she took off at an even higher speed. Yuki was about to ask what was wrong when she heard it. That chilling sound that was so popular in movies that included ancient animals in them. Yes, it was the king of cannibals – Scientific name Tyrannosaurus Rex AKA T-REX. It was gaining on them and fast. Yuki was really amazed at the speed at which her carrier was moving, even when she had added weight.

The killer animal came bearing on them with its long jaws that were three times in size of those of crocodiles and teeth the size of ivory, crushing anything in their path. Since it went swinging its head around, trying to catch its prey, all the surrounding things were forced out of the way like they were nothing. Upon seeing the green that was at her side' disappearing, Haruhi decided that it was enough time for site seeing. "Yuki. Get us the hell out of here. Jeez, and I though that it wouldn't mind me playing with it a little." She said the last part to herself but Yuki heard it anyway. Apparently, Haruhi had found the great animal asleep but she wanted to see it active so she threw huge stones at it to wake it up.

"I will remember this the next time the world is being remade Rex, I will remember this." Haruhi shouted as they started to phase and disappear from the Dinosaur age. The two re-appeared in front of the school yard as they were and so Haruhi did all she could to skid to a stop before she went through someone. There in front of the main entrance, was the class rep of 1-5, Asakura Ryoko. She had on that ever smile of hers.

"Hmmm? Been on a little trip have we? By the looks of it, it was short lived!" She raised an eyebrow towards Haruhi. She was also amused by the state they had appeared in. Haruhi with Yuki in her arms, it was a sight indeed. Maybe she should store the moment of arrival on paper. Say, a photo? She could have many uses of it. Many used indeed.

"You can say that gain. I was almost added on a menu of someone millions of years ago. Whew! I've never run so much in my life." As she said this, Haruhi rested her upper body on her knees and took deep needed breaths. The lass rep though looked at her strangely as she asked why she ran away. Yuki would've taken care of things. Haruhi's answer was, "Well, it was partly my fault and it wouldn't be right to get back to the poor animal that was angry with me." She said it but not with any regret. Well my beautiful aliens, I will be seeing you tomorrow. I have to go wash off this exciting shock I just received. Bye and play nice Ryoko."

And once again, she was off. The two 'aliens' were left to wonder where that girl got her energy from. Probably better not to find out. After some time, Yuki turned around towards her underling and gave her a look that said;'what do you want?' Asakura smiles that usual smile of hers as she gestured that they should start for their apartment building. Yuki followed besides her.

"Well, I was almost coming to get you guys where you were. 'They' gave me an order to get you back into the normal lane as fast as possible. Good thing though that I was saved the journey. Though it seems easy, I hate time travel." She made a face here and it looked like she wanted to stretch out the conversation a while yet. Yuki was the most patient person though, so she waited. "But really, I really should've expected you to know better than that. How could you go into a place like that just because she asked you? You are lucky you came out safe. That place was the perfect time for them to strike. You would not have had a chance. They probably never expected you to pull a stupid stunt like that so they were taken a little off guard but now they know. They will be watching you so be careful. Or so, the leader said." She finished with a chuckle.

Yuki was expecting that of course. After that last 'accident', she understood that she didn't know about her companion as much as she thought. The thing about Asakura Ryoko that got to Yuki a little more than the rest, was that the Integrated Data Entity had made the girl a little bit complete than Yuki herself. Yuki may have been superior to Asakura in a lot of things but they were almost the way a perfect humanoid machine was superior to a perfect cyborg. Though Yuki knew everything there was to know, Asakura Ryoko had experienced everything there was to experience.

With the way that Suzumiya Haruhi had been acting towards Yuki, the alien knew that there would come a time where Haruhi might expect something from Yuki other than her giving. He saw the pattern in every romance book she had read in the said situation, it was a situation where both parties had to contribute on their part. Well, she wasn't 100 certain that her self and Suzumiya Haruhi would get to that level, or else, what would be John Smith's role in their 'game'? And despite all the books she had read about the subject, she had no idea of how to use the 'moves' on her subject. Anyone knew the girl to be none like the others. Her rules were completely different. Besides, even if she was to go for the 'basics', she had no way to express what she couldn't feel. Was there a way fro her to feel?

Asakura Ryoko walked silently by her superior but she was studying her closely. She understood well enough what had the other entity so in thought. They were one of the same Integrated Data Entity but where normally Yuki would be guarding her thought processes, this time she was open. The long haired alien smirked to herself. She had gotten her chance after all. When Yuki started to move her mouth to speak, Ryoko's mind had already come up with various possibilities to what was to be asked of her. "I have something I want you to do for me."

Haruhi woke just in time to stop the alarm clock three seconds before it went off. She has never woken up by the ringing of it since she could remember but it took time to do and so, to get off a few seconds of boredom before she went to bed, she always set it. If a person destroyed a few hundreds of grey matter (brain neurons) just from thinking something, then Haruhi had saved over millions. This was because of the processes one took to prepare for the day. She got out of bed, took a shower, did other things that needed doing like eating breakfast and greeting her parents on auto. She had done the same thing every morning since childhood and it no longer need brain power to be completed.

By the time she started to think to herself, she was already near the school gate of the high school she was attending. The students were swarming the place, each trying to get to where they were supposed to be. Most of them had serious expressions on them and Haruhi couldn't help but be disturbed by the sight. She was reminded of how she was before that fateful baseball game where she discovered something really life changing. Had it not been that time, she would be one of them. Tiring her muscles, wasting precious energy and doing what? Re-runs of the same routines day in day out as if she was some motor doll that would be set to do the same thing over and over again until it seized to function, then its role would be over. Haruhi refused to be like that.

Even till now, she still searched for that moment - The moment that would give her a reason to continue on for years to come without being bored. Looking at it logically, it would be impossible. It looked like she was searching for eternal excitement but 'logical' was the first thing she gave up on. She had joined all the clubs in school but nothing grabbed her, despite her perfection at performing the tasks. She had watched (Still does) movies but the rush they give her only lasts for short moments. Even so, she sometimes wishes that she could enter that other world. The world that lasts for less than three hours yet it is what she wishes to live like. She had arrived sometime early as she always does so she took to wandering the corridors of the school. The other students passed her like silhouettes.

Suddenly, her feet came to a stop without her consent. She looked up and was faced by the room she knew to be the Literature Club. Why was she here? This was the first club she had almost joined. 'Almost' being the keyword for, had the sign up form hardly been filled that she quit. The most boring of all clubs – Proof? Ask the only member of the club and you got your proof. Yes, this club only had one member. "Yuki, are you here?" Haruhi asked as she slid the door open. Her bearings had not yet come to her completely so it was only logical for this to happen.

"Huh? Suzumiya-san, what are you doing here? I mean, what ever can I do for you?" Haruhi stood there confused? Somehow, she had expected a girl to be there, not this boy, a quite good looking, who was instead. "Erm…who is Yuki-san? As you know, I am the only member of this club." The guy asked as he gave his most sparkly smile. What was his name again? As if sensing her thoughts, the person gave his name. Koizumi Itsuki of class 1-9. He had transferred her at the beginning of this school year. For some reason, upon hearing the word 'Transfer', something 'clicked' inside Haruhi's chest. This really caught her attention. So much so that Koizumi-kun stood up and waved his hand in front of Haruhi to grab her attention.

Haruhi just turned around and went back the way she had come. Now she had something else to think about. That name – Koizumi Itsuki. Koi-zu-mi I-tsu-ki. Something was familiar about that name but what? Even as Haruhi reached her seat and waited for class to start, she was still puzzling on the name. As she was doing this, something occurred to her. There was another name she had in her memory but didn't remember learning. 'Yuki' – She had said that name upon opening the Literature Club room door. Who was this Yuki? Yuki who? Yuki Nakahara? No, that didn't sound right. Yuki…Yuki…Nagato Yuki? "Yes Nagato Yuki!!" She had said that last name out loud. She didn't know why but she felt pride from the conclusion. All those around turned to stare. It was like seeing a doll start behaving like a human.

Haruhi didn't mind them though. After a little while, the teacher arrived and the students settled down. Haruhi's thought continued to work out who this mysterious Yuki Nagato was. After the usual greeting had concluded, Haruhi decided to leave the thoughts for a bit later. When she moved her gaze upwards, she was yet again hit by a wave of déjà vu. For a few seconds, she had looked at the back of a buy around 5'11'' but in reality, it was the class representative, Asakura Ryoko sitting there. Haruhi blinked, then she blinked some more. What was wrong with her today? She decided to put her mind to rest until school was over.

The next day, Haruhi's wake up routine was a little different from usual. This time the alarm woke her up. She stayed under the sheets there, looking at the ceiling. She was seeing though and her mind was the only organ working, or so it seemed. She had had the strangest dream during the night. No, it had felt a little different from a dream. It was similar to memories resurfacing but…She couldn't remember ever experiencing those things. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that she had gone to sleep while thinking of those two people; Koizumi Itsuki and Nagato Yuki…

She got up and went for the shower. She had also learned some more names in her dream. The duration of the dream had strangely been spent in one room - That Literature club that she had come across the previous morning. There were five people including her self in that room. She couldn't remember clearly what they were doing but she clearly remembered all their names. Including her shelf, there was that Literature Club president Koizumi Itsuki, Nagato Yuki, That boy known only as Kyon and another girl, Asahina Mikuru. She knew of Asahina Mikuru, how could she not? Even she who wasn't interested in other matters couldn't avoid the existence of that girl.

She was quite popular among all the guys and all the right reasons. She knew the class the upper-class man was attending so she would give her a visit first thing in the morning before first period. The dream had increased her uneasiness that she felt towards the 'world'. Granted she had issues already with this dead boring ball of blue but since she woke up yesterday, things had seemed a little bit off. She felt as if she had gotten to the top of a cliff and instead of descending, she was yet again ascending another cliff. Or better yet, it was one of those games where you fail and forgot to save so you have to replay from the beginning. Now that should explain things a little better.

As she left for school, she started to wonder again who the other two individuals were - The suspicious Kyon who had only one name and this Nagato Yuki. Perhaps she had known them in their junior high and they had gone to different high schools? But how? She couldn't remember ever getting that close to anyone since elementary. That was the best option she had though so she would ask some other students she went to the same junior high with.

Haruhi waited until it was almost five minutes before the first bell rang to go to the second year class she knew Asahina Mikuru attended. This way, there would be a very high probability that Mikuru was there. Her deductions were not wrong for, ignoring all the strange stares that were sent her way when she entered the class, she quickly spotted the unusual girl in the crowd and wasted no time to call upon her audience.

"Erm…He…Hello, may I help you…Erm…" Who was this girl that had called to speak with her? Mikuru Asahina thought to herself. And why was she having a strange urge to ran away as far as possible yet she was compelled to stay? Intuitively, Mikuru folded her arms around her chest. This gesture brought a raised eyebrow from Haruhi.

Haruhi's eyes were drawn to the hidden chest but as the arms were inferior in size to it, the motive was a failure. Haruhi looked from her chest to her face then back to her chest. Mikuru was getting more nervous by the second of this inspection. "Wha…What is it?" She asked fearfully. Haruhi was feeling a strong pull to go up to this strange sempai and…do things that would put any guy into suspension or worse.

"My name is Suzumiya Haruhi from class 1-5. Have we ever met before? Do you have any strange memories or dreams?" The questions came like rapid fire. She had already forgotten about the attributes of the girl standing before her. Mikuru stood confused for a while, knit her eye brows as if in thought, then shook her pretty head.

"Not that I can think of. I came from South Nito junior High with my friend Tsuruya-chan. Why are you asking me this?" Well, what could she say? She herself was looking for answers. On her walk from home, she had come to a conclusion that something really strange had happened. She had tried to back track her memories as far as she could go, which was pretty far for she had a very good memory. She could never forget whatever she had seen yet, there seemed to be a 'gap' in her memories. It seemed like this sempai couldn't help her but this didn't deter her in any way.

"Well, one last question then. Do you know of anyone called Nagato Yuki, or Kyon?" Upon getting the sempai's negative answer, Haruhi decided to call it quits in this side. But why was this girl doing in her dreams/memories? Something was really wrong with her, or something else al together. She should go ask some more people in her class before the bell went off. But fore that…Haruhi moved like lightening as she came up behind the un suspecting sempai and…Grope.

"Eh? Ah, he... Ehh?!!" Poor Mikuru was so shocked that she stood completely still except her mouth. It moved without her brain which was on short circuit at the moment. The cry got the attention of the class as all the insiders turned to look through the window to see…Asahina-san being groped by one Suzumiya Haruhi. Many jaws were dropped, mostly guys'. Only one girl stood up to come get a closer look.

"Hey, stop right there Suzumiya Haruhi-san." A voice made Haruhi pause in her assault. She turned to look at a grinning girl that was a total stranger to her yet…Her grip loosened and Mikuru used this chance to escape and hide behind this new arrival's back. The girl with elegant long dark green hair gestured for Mikuru to return to class and after the door was closed, she came closer to Haruhi.

"Who are you and how do you know me?" There was some hope in the question that even Haruhi herself couldn't understand where it had come from.

"Well, it is my duty as the president of the student council to know you. But how come you don't know me?" Yes, you would think that she could at least know who the student council president was. So why wasn't she familiar with her? Yes, something was really off. "Any way, how was it?" The girl had come closer to whisper in Haruhi's ear. Not knowing what the girl was talking about she asked. "You know, Mikuru-chan's breasts – How did they feel? I have wanted to do that for a while but didn't have enough guts. I am surprised you did it in front of the whole class." The girl talked at the speed that Haruhi quite liked.

"Well, I always do things before I think so…Just do it if you want. I don't think she would mind. Well, I bet get going. I have important stuff to do. See you around Tsuruya-san." 'Now to go and see what I can get on the other two. Oh, I have to talk to Koizumi-kun too but I don't have time. Maybe during lunch break.' She thought to herself as she made her way back to class 1-5.

"Huh? Nagato Yuki and Kyon? I do remember Nagato-san, we were actually classmates back then but I don't know of any Kyon. Does he have a family name?" It was the class rep Asakura Ryoko that had answered. She was the only person that Haruhi felt was O.K to talk to in the whole class, maybe it was because the happy girl had tried a lot of times to talk to Haruhi, but of course she was always brushed off. That might've explained the extra watt smile she had on now.

"I don't know his Sir name but you said you knew Nagato Yuki? Could you tell me of her instead." For some reason Haruhi didn't care for this Kyon, as much as she did one Nagato Yuki. What was their connection if she really existed? Haruhi doesn't have any memory of having a memory loss of any kind, or better yet, she had never visited a doctor much less get sick since she could remember. In fact, her mother never stopped talking of how she had never been sick.

"Well, I think all of us who went to that school remember her. She was really one strange girl – Even stranger than you were, if you can believe it." Asakura didn't seem to sense the theme in her sentence as she went on to describe Nagato Yuki. For some reason, the Nagato Yuki explained to her was very far from the Nagato she had seen in her dream or better yet, the image of the Yuki in her mind. Deciding she had heard enough, Haruhi asked Ryoko which school she was attending now and she was actually thankful of her class rep's knowledge. She said it out loud and soon found out that Asakura Ryoko was actually flat-mates with Nagato Yuki.

Kouyouen high School huh? That was the school down hill near the train station. Something else occurred to Haruhi. That school was the best option for her to go to yet, why was she at this school instead. Something was really wrong. She had to see this Nagato Yuki as soon as possible. And with those thoughts sealed, the class commenced and the day progressed even slower than the liked.

"Hello Suzumiya-san, I am sorry to keep you waiting." It was Koizumi who had spoken. The were at the train station where they had decided to meet the evening before upon Haruhi's suggestion. She hadn't wanted to go alone all the way there and she thought that bringing Koizumi along would be a good idea. Haruhi gave her greetings and they proceeded to head for Kouyouen High. It was around 3:45pm as they had a short day at their school, they had decided to come just before Kouyouen let out. They made small talk, well, Koizumi is the only one who spoke and Haruhi gave little responses.

At last, the time had come and the students were pouring out like swarms. Haruhi and Koizumi stood to the sides of the gates awaiting the only person that Haruhi knew. After a few uneasy moments, the person appeared. Koizumi felt his sleeve being tagged at. "That's her, right there." It took the poor guy complete seconds for him to find the girl. He had been told the basics of what she looked like but it had taken him some time to spot her. The reason was, that she was way too far to be made out in the crowd. How did this girl spot her that far away?

When the girl in question reached the gate, Haruhi leapt out from the cover and pulled her to the side and away from the mass. "Hey, what do you think you are doing?" A voice spoke up but it wasn't the girl's. It was a boy of this school. He came and snatched the speechless girl back, protectively. Haruhi frowned but didn't comment on it.

"My name is Suzumiya Haruhi. You must be Nagato Yuki, right?" Haruhi spoke with her gaze to the small girl in front of her. The girl's eyes widened significantly. Who was this person? How did she know her name yet she was familiar with her?

"Ye…Yes, that's me. I am in first year here but…How do you know my name? I have never seen you before." This made the 'guy' stand more protectively in front of Yuki. Again Haruhi was left dry mouthed. This time though, she wasn't letting the chance go by. This was the last gamble. She somehow knew that this girl had all the answers she was looking for. What to do?"

"Hello there Nagato san and…err…May we know you name kind sir? My name is Koizumi Itsuki and we are from Nito High. My friend here has really important matters with Nagato-san. Please believe us to be good. I can assure you that we mean no harm." He gave his most 'winning' smile and Haruhi was thankful for bringing him along.

"Well, I was just surprised there is all. She is my girlfriend after all so you must forgive me for being a little over protective of her." He smiled to Nagato Yuki who returned the smile. The gesture made Haruhi feel like strangling something. 'Get a hold of your self girl. This is the last chance, you know this.' She thought to herself as she took in calming breath. "My name is Kyon by the way, just Kyon. Please to meet you." He shook hands with Koizumi-kun but when he turned it to Haruhi, she didn't take it. He looked to Koizumi and he shrugged.

"Well Kyon…san, could I borrow Nagato-san for a few moments?" she struggled to put on a positive look and by the answer, it seemed like she succeeded. Kyon looked to his girl and after coming to an agreement, he left for home. Then Koizumi handed a piece of paper to Haruhi and him to, dais his good bye. Haruhi put the paper in her pockets without even checking it and together with Nagato Yuki, they began to walk.

"You don't wear glasses?" Haruhi asked after some time. She heard Yuki choke. That was very much so not expected. The Yuki in her dreams and the Yuki right now were like complete opposites.

"How…did you know I mean, I used to wear them but they weren't prescribed. Kyon-kun said that I…"She got a little red in the face, yet another so out of character for her version of this person. "He said that I looked cuter without them." She coughed. Haruhi didn't place the emotion that swept through her but it most definitely wasn't pretty.

"I think that you look better wit them. I mean, it is just a thought but I don't know, they make you give off an aura of mysticism – like, the glasses hide your true self to the world and only those with great perception can see through it. Well, it could be because I like mysteries so please, forget it." Yuki had her mouth hanging open as she stared at the girl walking besides her.

"No…No…you might be actually right. I used to feel…more safe wit them on, as if they were some kind of protection but now I feel a little bit of extra exposed – More vulnerable. That is why…"Yuki reached into her back and pulled out a pair of glasses. "I still carry them as a lucky charm, perhaps…" She smiled with embarrassment.

"Ca I see them?" Haruhi asked of Yuki. The girl was a little startled from the request but easily obliged. As for the reason why Haruhi had made the request, it seemed like these simple pair of glasses were the only complete thing that was as it was in her dreams. Yuki moved her hand towards Haruhi and gave the glasses over. Haruhi reached over to take them and stared at them as if she was expecting something spectacular to spring forwards from within the thin wires and glass. Something did happen alright but it wasn't what she had expected. A bright light filled her vision as if the glasses were an atomic bomb that had gone off. With the light, came darkness and she was aware of nothing more.

"Wha…? What happened? Where is this place?" Haruhi woke up with ha major headache. She clutched at her head and looked up when she heard the sound of a door slide. Yuki came through and easily with gentleness closed the door behind her with her foot. When she turned around, she was so startled she almost dropped the tray she was carrying. "Yuki? What are you doing here and better yet, where is this place?" She couldn't remember for the life of her where she was at the moment.

"You don't remember? We were walking and you asked me to show you my glasses. After you touched them you…fainted." Yuki had a confused look on her face as she said that. She placed the tray with some paracetamol and a glass of water on the side of the futon. It appears she understood that Haruhi would have a migraine upon waking for she had hit her head rather hard. "Since we were almost at my apartment building, I decided to bring you up. I didn't think you needed a doctor so…Ah Is your head alright? I brought you some pills. Here you go."

This Yuki was sure talkative and emotional, too emotional to the Yuki she knew. It hit her then. She remembered…She remembered everything. She had a full grasp of all the people she was puzzling about. Kyon, Mkuru-chan and Koizumi-kun, all of it. But why was Yuki still this strange person? "Yuki, do you recognise me now?" She asked hopefully as she emptied the water cup.

"Erm…I am most certainly sure that we have never met but…I feel like I know you. I can't explain it but, it's different from a feeling of meeting a complete stranger. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you here. Ah…would you like some tea? I brought you some." Yuki reached for the tray and reduced two cups from the pot into two mugs. Haruhi gave her thanks and she began to think of what was happening. Okay, she had all her memories back, The SOS brigade and of her members but something was still strange with this world. What to do?

"Yuki, I have seen you before. We have even talked before. What I am about to tell you may seem nonsensical but please hear me out. I know you are a very bright girl," Haruhi chuckled to her self here. "Very bright indeed so I know that you will listen." She took a gulp from the cup and set it down after. "Well, I know of this world – There is a high school and in this school, there exists a club known as the SOS Brigade. It has five members, two male and three females. But this is no ordinary club."

Haruhi picked up the cup again and took another sip. Yuki had also put hers down and gave the speaker her complete attention, much to Haruhi's satisfaction. "The club has some extraordinary members. One of the males, Koizumi Itsuki…Yes, that Koizumi Itsuki…is actually a real live esper. "She paused to prove when she saw Yuki's questioning gesture. "One of the girls, Asahina Mikuru, is a very uniquely cute girl but she is actually, a time traveller from the future. The other guy, 'Kyon'…his name is just Kyon. No one ever tried to get his other name. I have to remember to get it, was actually human."

Haruhi took another sip. "And before you ask, yes, it is that Kyon…your boy friend. It appears, that he is the one who gave the founder of the club the idea to create one so he might have been recruited anonymously. There is a real reason but I won't get into that now. The one who told me of that reason was however the second girl. She loves books, is really intelligent, wears glasses, is the only member of the literature club and never speaks unless you speak to her first. But here real identity in truth was, Nagato Yuki, an alien created in the form of a humanoid interface that was sent to earth to observe an interesting subject by the entity known only as, Integrated Data Entity."

The expression on Yuki's face was priceless. She opened her mouth, then closed it. Her eyes moved in strange ways – different directions – anywhere but at Haruhi. "Err…Are you okay Yuki? I can call you that right? I always call you that." Yuki's uneasiness grew when Haruhi said that. The eccentric girl decided she had said enough so she shut up and drank her tea in silence, waiting for Yuki t calm down. The alien…or used-to-be-alien took a few deep breaths and after she calmed down, looked up again into Haruhi's eyes.

"I am sorry Suzumiya-san but I don't…I can't remember any of what you said." She was quite shaken by the sound of her voice. Haruhi decided to press some more.

"But I had also forgotten until you gave me your glasses. When I touched them, my memories came back to me. Are you sure that there isn't something? Please think about it. Think of your past carefully. How really complete are they? Who were your friends in junior high? Who are your parents? Where are they even? How are you even taking care of yourself all alone? As I know it, you live alone, right? Unless I am mistaken?"

"Of course I know all that. My parents…my parents…" Her brows turned in confusion. Where were her parents? Better yet, who were her parents? She thought of her childhood, nothing came up before she entered High School. Something strange happened that even Haruhi was taken completely off guard. Tears started to appear in the blue/silver haired girl's eyes. The inevitable was halted when the door bell rang.

Yuki blinked her wet eyes and tried to fight the tears that had started to appear but no longer did. She stood up and excusing herself to Haruhi, exited the room and headed to what Haruhi presumed to be the front door. The guest got out the futon she was still sitting in and followed her host into the living room. When the door opened to reveal the new comer, Haruhi's brain started like an engine starting up. It was alien Yuki's acquaintance, and class rep of class 1-5 in both realities, Asakura Ryoko. Then it clicked. She had her memories back and she still remembered what had happened in the last two days. In both those memories, everything had changed except this girl.

Her smile was still the same. She was still class president and Still Yuki's apartment neighbour. This Asakura had a pot in her gloved hands and it was apparent that it was a hot pot. "Hi Nagato-san. I brought us some supper. Ah…I see you have a guest. Welcome Suzumiya-san, welcome. Please join us, won't you?" 'Don't invite people into a house that isn't yours.' She kept this line to her self however. If Ryoko was the real Ryoko she knew then invoking her at this time was very bad an idea. Especially seeing in what state Yuki was in at the moment.

"No no…I am truly sorry but I must be leaving. My parents are probably wondering where I am. But thank you anyway, for the invitation Asakura-san and Yuki too. Thanks for taking care of me." And wit that, she headed for the door when Ryoko entered, put on her shoe and scrambled for the exit. Before she closed the door though, she spared a glance into Yuki's direction and thought she saw a look of longing in those usually deep eyes. She had more pressing matters though. She was certain that Ryoko had something to do wit these strange events but how was she to go about it?

After the success of their last threesome encounter, she wasn't so keen on a second meeting. It was night out and a breeze had started to flow. Haruhi placed her hands into her short pants pocket to warm them and felt something. Upon closer inspection in the street lamp light, discovered that it was the paper Koizumi-kun had given her previously. Haruhi unfolded the paper and read what was written on it.

"GO TO THE LITERATURE CLUB ROOM TONIGHT AT 21:00 HOURS"

This is what the note said. No name but Haruhi didn't require it. 9:00pm. Only twenty minutes to go. She quickly pulled out her cell to make a quick call home but she realised that it didn't matter. The world was fucked up so it was a waste of time. Running as fast as she could go and thankful of the short pants she had on, Haruhi made for the school grounds.

With only one minute and twenty seconds to spare, she had already reached the corridors and was on her way up the stairs. Good thing the school wasn't to good on security. She also somehow knew that the club room would be open and so it was no surprise when the door to the familiar room opened easily to her hand. The room was shrouded in darkness and Haruhi fumbled for the switch. She realised that he didn't know where it was, having not used the room in darkness before.

She didn't need it anymore though for suddenly a light flickered on and a whirling sound followed as the computer in the room started up by itself. The impact lasted only moments before, Haruhi ran into the front of the panel to stare at the screen. She gave a few glances around to make sure that there was no one around. Why wasn't Koizumi there? He was the one that gave her the note in the first place. Oh well, she dismissed that thought as she heard the sound of keys being tapped on the keyboard right in front of her. Staring wide eyed, it was a ghost was doing the typing. The keys moved but no one was around except herself and after this effect no longer held prisoner her mind, she turned to look at the screen to see what was being typed. This is what was being typed in pauses as if waiting for her to catch up.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS, THEN YOU HAVE GOTTEN YOUR MEMORY BACK.

IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN YOU ARE READY.

THE WORLD YOU ARE IN IS OUR WORLD BUT NOT.

I WILL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING SO IF YOU WANT, PRESS ENTER.

IF YOU DON'T THEN WITHIN TEN SECONDS OF IDLE, THE MESSAGE WILL BE ERASED.

N.Y

A soon as Haruhi read the initials, she hit enter so fast she almost broke a nail. 'Once again wit the light?!' She thought, before the room was completely engulfed in pure light and her 'inner light' snuffed out. This time, her blocker reactivated sooner than last time and she came to before she hit the floor of yet some place else. She felt nausea coming on but she held on strongly.

Feeling a presence near her, Haruhi looked up and she saw…

"………"

It was Yuki. Her Nagato Yuki. The glasses, that expressionless face, the school uniform. The energetic girl forgot about her digestive problems as she teleported to where the silent girl was standing and enveloped her in a bear-crushing hug. "Oh Yuki, it is so good to see you like this again. Oh, I don't know why but I am really relieved to see you." After so time, she pulled back and stared the girl from head to toe. "Err…Am I back to the normal world? Is that nightmare over?"

"Negative. You are three years in the past from your normal time." The alien answered simply with her sweet flawless voice. "I am unable to contact my future self in that time but I knew the incident would occur thus, my present self sent a message to the future."

"So you are the one who gave that message to Koizumi-kun? How come he didn't tell me the truth then?" She was baffled. She had talked to Koizumi as if they were simply students in the same school. He hadn't let on at anything that might show that they were acquainted in any way. Was he just playing dumb?

"The note you received was originally a personal note. It said, 'Please meet me at Linda's café down town at 7 tomorrow. I will be waiting for you. Excuse me for this cowardly approach but it was the only way I thought your interest would last long enough for my …"Haruhi held up her hand. She knew that formulae. "I changed the message the note was supposed to relay." She didn't say it but Haruhi saw it in her eyes, an apology in case she made a mistake. "It was the only way to pass it in that dimension."

"Forget about that. Anyway, explain to me what's going on. The last two days have been the most bizarre, and not in a good way." She looked around and seeing the familiar room, made herself comfortable near the kotatsu. Yuki stood there a few nano seconds before she went into the kitchen. Haruhi guessed what she was going to get so she held up her hand to say that if she was getting tea, there was no need. Her weird future self had offered her some only minutes ago.

"Understood." She turned and came back to sit opposite Haruhi. "The world as it is now and as it was in the time you were is in the same. There was a huge modification made on it and everything on it. The one responsible recreated everyone's memories and went as far as to change their past as well." The alien paused to let Haruhi sink that in. "In knew that you were probably the only one who wouldn't be completely affected. This way, I had made arrangements of how to help you regain your memory and bring you here in the past so that you can change the future."

"I see, I see. But Yuki, why aren't you the one changing it? Better yet, how come you were affected? It sounds to me like you knew what was going to happen so why…" It seemed like today was the day the many sentences were to be left un-finished. It hit Haruhi like that time Kyon suggested starting a club. "You are…"

"Affirmative. Though I know of what is going to happen, there was no way for me to transform the outcome. I have brought you here because this is the time I created the vaccine to get my future self back to normal. That way, she will be the only one able to change things the way they were." Haruhi wanted to ask why she had done it but didn't think this version of Yuki knew the reason. Judging from the situation, the future Yuki had developed a little and if it was as she thought, the reasons might be to person even the future self to share with the past self.

Yuki then took off her glasses and held them in front of her face. Her eyes were so focused, it would make anyone believe that she was faking reading all those times she had a book in front of her. While Haruhi had a laugh about that, the glasses started to float from the palm and into the air. As if watching a scene in a Sci-Fi movie, an electronic almost magnetic field, surrounded the glasses to encase them in a round ball of blue and while.

When the small circle disappeared, what was left was not the cute pair of glass and soft metal but a normal looking book. Yuki extended it to Haruhi and the Commander took it eagerly. "I also know that she likes books still so recommend that book to her and when she reads inside, the vaccine will emit digitally and visually into her database. If that fails, I have made it so you can change the form any way you think more applicable." Haruhi didn't have to ask why there would be a disturbance or who it would be. She already knew the answers o those queries. Asakura Ryoko.

"Well, Yuki, you can count on me. There is no way I am gonna let my brigade members get scattered in memory lane just because of the reasons that can't be mentioned due to the luck of their knowledge." She gave the alien a very wide grin but only Nagato could give that response.

"……"

"I will send you back the next day, in front of Kouyouen High. It will be 16:00hours. You have that time to make her read it until 19:00 the same day. After that time, the vaccine will self destruct if not used. I can no longer bring you back here. When you succeed, we will be back in the right continuum." She raised her hand and pointed at Haruhi and the next moment…

Haruhi was clinging to the wall near the gates of the prestigious school for a breather. Her mind was spinning again. This time travel/warp thing was in need of getting used to. In a few moments, she had her wits back in gear and soon, the unusual, heat-racing sight of Nagato Yuki without glasses walking along her boyfriend Kyon, came into view. Haruhi was thinking of many things to make that guy pay when she fixes this but before then, she will have to cope. "Well, hello there again, Kyon Nagato-san. I am terribly sorry but this is the last time you will ever see me. Can I borrow Nagato-san for another moment Kyon-san?"

Puppy dog eyes. It worked like a charm. The boy did leave but not before doing something that made Haruhi want to kick him into a whole different world altogether. He kissed Nagato Yuki on the cheek, making her go red adorably. "Do you mind if I walk you to your apartment again Nagato-san?" The girl came back to her sense and gave Haruhi a small nod before they were off again. "II understand that you love books Nagato-san. Here, I thought that maybe if you read this book, you would come to understand me a little better." Haruhi said when they were no longer in the company of other students. "Just read the intro even and if you don't like it, then well…"

She lowered her head to show melancholy and it seems that this Yuki bought into it. Haruhi didn't think that she would start reading it right away but it seemed that not-alien Nagato was pretty more into books than 'her' Yuki. Just as the cover was turned and the small fingers moved to work on the first white page inside, this happened. ..Something flashed somewhere at the edge of Haruhi's view in the setting sun and it was only that that saved her from being impaled with what looked like a huge kitchen knife.

Yuki was so startled when she was pushed to the side that she let squeal escape. Haruhi found herself thinking 'So not cool' but it wasn't the time to indulge in personal treats. The ribbon head short up to where she presumed was the origin of the sharp thing. As if doing her part in alive action, there she was, Asakura Ryoko in all her school uniform glory, standing on a high lamp post. "I am afraid I can't let you do what you want to do Suzumiya-san. This was a choice that she made for herself and I won't let you change that."

"Asakura-san? What are you doing? This is Suzumiya-san remember, she was at my place yesterday." The shorter haired girl pleaded to her flat mate and care taker. What was going on? Why was she attacking such a well mannered person? Maybe she should call Kyon to get him to help. As Yuki reached into her pockets to ring out her cell phone, it just simply vanished into thin air. "Eh…Ehh?!!" She just blinked at her empty hands trying to decipher what the hell had happened. She looked at the person she had come to call her friend and Ryoko waved a finger at her in the gesture showing that she was being a bad girl.

"How come you have your powers and memories in this plane unlike everyone else?" Haruhi inquired, trying to think of something really fast. Things had turned the red light she hadn't wanted to cross. Now that she had come across it, what to do without the help of Yuki?

"I am the one who gave the idea to Yuki Nagato after all. It was only logical that I use it to my advantage and find a way fro me retain my normal self in order to fulfil the orders given to me. You see, my boss has made it clear that they are running impatient and out of theories so they needed results soon. Good thing my dear old superior here had some emotional issues so I helped out…myself that is." Yuki just stared at the two girls as they also stood there staring at each other. "Last time there was interference but this time, I was well prepared. Now please, be so kind and really ...DIE."

She 'flashed' in front of Haruhi and delivered a satisfying jaw-clenching kick to the mid section. God damn it! That really smut. Haruhi forced her body to her legs and was just in tome o hold out her hands for a block of a punch that was directed at her face. It sent her a couple of steps back but she was really getting ticked off. She tried to retaliate but really, let's face it. At the moment, she was at most like a three belt karate master going up against an alien. – An alien for crying out loud and not just any alien. Haruhi was not on to wine though and she was quite satisfied that she had managed to land in a hit in there somewhere.

"Enough playing around. Let's see you survive …THESE!" The shout was followed with a rain of lancer like objects. Haruhi knew there was no way to avoid those so she did the only thing she could do. She remembered…"the vaccine will emit digitally and visually into her database. If that fails, I have made it so you can change the form any way you think more applicable." Haruhi thought of the first thing that appeared in her head and just as first spear was two seconds from the retina…

"Ouch…" In one second, this is what happened…the book that Not-Alien Yuki was holding turned into a small mosquito that stung her palm. She cried out and when the sound stopped, YUKI took over. The vaccine had worked and the real Yuki had retuned. As if a ghost that knew what was going on had taken over non-alien Yuki's body to interfere, the real Yuki acted in time and raising her finger towards Haruhi, short a large beam of light towards her and once again, Haruhi saw white…

"Oh god my eye…My eye!" The scene would've been beautiful had anyone in their right minds witnessed what was happening at the moment. There was Haruhi, the fearless leader of the SOS Brigade, rolling on the ground clutching at her right eye. Yuki was the only person in the room with the hilarious girl making a comic of her self. Yuki was not all that as well however. Though she was the normal Yuki everyone loved and knew, the glass-wearing book worm alien, she was also acting strange, even by her standards. There she was, blinking non-stop, first around the room, then at her hands, then she reached for her glasses, and then she noticed the monkey on the floor.

"……."

"Aaahh…My…" Haruhi came to a complete stop, having come to her senses apparently. She stayed on the floor but lifted her gaze towards the alien and stared at Yuki. Yuki stared right back. It was like there was a battle going on called 'Staring'.

"…..." Yuki said.

"……" replied Haruhi.

To be Continued.

A/N: First of all have to apologise to all of you fans out there for spending so long without updating. I have a completely good reason. I was taking lessons in Computer art and Vectoring. It is essential to my future you see. I have spent all this time honing my n00b skills and now that I have the basics out of the way, I can spare time to update. I was working on some vectors during my training and if you want to have a look (I promise you, they are worth while) go and have a look in my galleries. My deviantART gallery is my website link on the profile page and my username on is Pamsy123. I will try and update each series fic once a month since I am gonna have four series going now. Please, forgive me.

Now, about this chapter: There might seem luck of romance btn out couples but please bear with me. There are a few fans of SHnY that read it and demanded a story to be added in so that is the reason with the drama/action. I promise much loving in the next chapter, especially on the Mikuru/Tsuruya part.

Demon Eyes out.
