Hey guys, Khu here again. Hehe. School just kicked in, and I have yearly exams and such in 2 weeks, so expect a chapter after that. I'll get working on it when things slow down. Please note I will be away most of December - January on a holiday. :D
Hopefully that time will be spent spinning up new chapters :D
Thanks guys. Hope you enjoy this chapter! ^^
This is who I am
and this is what I like
GC, Sum and Blink and Mxpx rocking my room
if you're looking for me
I'll be at the show
I could never find a better place to go
"KYON-KUN, THE DOOR~"
The door? That's new.
"OOH, IT'S HARUHI!"
Okay. That last bit wasn't. Damn it little sis, why do you have to announce everything to the world?
I opened up the door. Haruhi was there once again, with her characteristic ridiculously huge grin. It's like Cloud's sword in Final Fantasy. How the fuck can he hold that thing...
"Never knew you made housecalls, Haruhi."
"What, you upset about that?" in her usual abrasive tone.
"No, just pleasantly surprised. What's up?" However, seeing her tender side made her intolerable side...more tolerable.
"We're going to find strange things!" She dragged me out the door.
"HEY HEY, WAIT I GOTTA PUT ON SOME REAL CLOTHES FIRST!" I was still in my pyjamas.
"Hmph. You look fine as it is. Whatever, go change. I'll go and check out your house for strange stuff then."
"Go take a look at my sis. There's definitely something strange about that cheeky brat..."
"Nah, I'll just go through your underwear."
"Oh, oka- WAIT WHAT?"
"What?"
"My UNDERWEAR."
"...Yes? Got a problem with that?"
"Yes, why my fucking underwear?"
"Cos I'm interested in what you wear?"
"Then you could look at my shirts! Or pants! Or something else OTHER than my underpants!"
"But your underpants are funny."
"AWHUH?"
"Especially that Mr Grumpy one. That one's hilarious."
"Wait, how the HELL do you know what underwear I wear?"
"...I took a wild guess?" She gave a huge grin.
I sighed and facepalmed. "Fine fine, whatever...just give me a pair that ISN'T that...PLEASE."
And that is how my day started. Well, at least it wasn't as bad as my dad constantly making sex jokes. Geez, that man has to grow up. I mean seriously. THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID? Jump from age 14 to the age you're MEANT to be, PLEASE.
Until the day I die I promise I won't change
so you better give up
I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
so you better give up
cause I'm not gonna change
I don't wanna grow up
I emerged from my bedroom, hair thoroughly tousled and looking quite dishevelled. Haruhi had demanded to keep searching my underwear drawer which was IN my bedroom. Thus I had to lock myself in my CLOSET until I was changed. It was only when I unlocked the door did I realise that Haruhi had been trying to sneak a snake camera under the door. I promptly confiscated the thing, and asked where the HELL she had even obtained such an item. She simply passed it off as being her dad's. As far as I know, snake cams are only used in the military, or medical uses. Well, her dad IS a doctor. Wow. She musta stolen it though. Don't see her father giving her something like that. Oh well.
"What now, oh great fearless leader?" I rolled my eyes. Oh well, look on the bright side: you're not going to be made a joke of, or annoyed by your family. Which is MORE annoying than having to walk around with Haruhi. Might even get a few risqué peeks...
Wait, Haruhi would kill me.
Damn my male brain...
I like to stay up late
spend hours on the phone
hanging out with all my friends
and never being at home
I'm impolite and I make fun of everyone
I'm immature but I will stay this way forever
Well, this brings back memories.
Walking along with Haruhi on the prowl for strange and interesting things. As she puts it, that is.
Well, I used to be interested in it too. Until I realised how stupid it was. Or admitted that it was stupid. Either way, I gave up on espers, aliens and time travellers. Until I met the SOS Brigade; if only Haruhi could know. The world would probably be a whole lot more simpler. Either destroyed, or filled with weird supernaturals.
It makes me wonder though; am I the only thing keeping Haruhi from destroying this world? If so, doesn't that mean I get to be what I used to want to be? The guy who saves the world from evil? Except, Haruhi isn't evil...just, well, bored. When God is a high school teenager, you'd expect things to go awry, wouldn't you.
Anyway, if our love is the only thing tying Haruhi here, what happens if we break up? If I get tired of her antics? If I get tired of being dragged everywhere? Interesting proposition; would she just modify my mind to suit her? Or would she not do anything to me? Keep me the way I am... but try again? With a fresh new world?
It happened once before, I think; that dream. She was so hawt the next day with that ponytail. Hehe, should get some photos of-
WHACK!
"Hey, what was that for?!" I rubbed the back of my head.
"For spacing out!" she was sitting beneath a tree in the local park. We were looking out over a river. Kids were frolicking in the shallows; guys were fishing as well; and there was a small fishing rental shop nearby.
I sat down beside her on the freshly mown grass. "What's up?"
"See that couple over there? I think they only JUST started dating. I wanna freak them out."
"UUH. OKAY. WHY."
"Cos it's fun?"
"How is it fun?"
"Their reactions. Come on Kyon!" she pounced me and started trying to suffocate me with her tongue.
"WAFUMAGU!" I was flailing underneath her. She forcibly made my hands stay on her back. What the hell Haruhi?
I could see the couple now out of the corner of my eyes, where Haruhi's hair wasn't in the way. They were giggling sheepishly.
THEN Haruhi tried forcing my hands to other places.
Hey, I'll be ready to touch there when I SAY I'm ready.
Until the day I die I promise I won't change
so you better give up
I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
so you better give up
cause I'm not gonna change
I don't wanna grow up
Well now, at least that was better than being with my family whole weekend. Making out with someone like her is a guy's dream. Taniguchi would go nuts if he saw us. Ahahaha. Then I'd also get really really annoyed by everyone at school. Sigh. As I watched Haruhi try to fish with a line and hook, I realised just how lucky, and yet unlucky I was.
Pros with being with Haruhi:
She's 's REALLY 's 's good at everything. (see point 3)She's my club president, but she hasn't really given me any respite, so it might not be a pro?
Cons with being with Haruhi:
Labelled as weirdEveryone laughs at youSOME guys envy youTaniguchi becomes even more of a retardYou are now #1 PUBLIC MULE! I EMPHASISE PUBLIC!
Whew. Not only are the cons more original, they actually make sense. Though I guess you can't really categorise love, can you. You can't package it in a box and call it a certain degree of love. Damn emotions are so annoying...especially when your hormones decide to screw with your brain.
I don't wanna be told to grow up (grow up, grow up)
I don't wanna be told to grow up (grow up, grow up)
One thing you learn IN puberty: It's a bitch. A real. Fucking. Bitch.
Of course, you start noticing girls, and that's all cool. You don't get freaked out by much and start getting beefed up.
But there's the emotions and ANGST in this damn time. An apathetic view on life comes in handy at times like that, when people are going "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" you can analyse it clearly. Usually it's just a spur of the moment kind of thing. Sometimes though, it's real. And there's basically no way to know which is which.
I don't wanna be told to grow up

I don't wanna be told to grow up
and I don't wanna change
I just wanna have fun
I don't wanna be told to grow up
And I don't want to change
So you better give up
No I don't want to change
So you better give up
Cause I'm not gonna change
I don't wanna grow up!
Ah well. Haruhi's now curled up on top of me basically, as we watch the sunset. She seems awfully quiet. I look at her eyes, which seem to be lacklustre.
"What's up?" I ask, as I shift one arm to run my fingers through her hair.
"Eh, well. Sometimes it'd be great to be a kid again."
I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Well, you start losing your innocence for one. You start being held responsible for stuff...I hate being responsible. I just go and do it. But I know that sometime I'm going to have to be responsible for someone. Or something." She hugged me. "Oh well. I've at least got you, Kyon."
"Heh. I was getting worried that you were regretting meeting me."
She looked mock horrified. "Of COURSE not! How could you SAY such a thing?"
"Well...knowing you, and your attention span?"
She whacked me over the head. "Jerk."
"Oh come on." I laughed. "It's true, no?"
She harrumphed. "I guess so..." She took my hand. "Your penalty for that insult of my attention span is a RUN WITH ME!" She took off at lightning speed.
"Woah, WAI –" My face hit the grass. I scrambled my feet under me, and got accustomed to her pace. I skidded, and we came to a halt.
"I am NOT taking that from you!" I shouted at her.
"YES YOU WILL, KYON, BECAUSE I AM YOUR-" I quickly pulled her in before she noticed, and had her in my arms and was staring at her face, just inches apart.
"My WHAT, exactly." I whispered.
"Your BRIGADE LEADER!" She tore herself away.
"HEY HEY!" I grabbed her round the waist again.
"When you're on a date with me, what are you to me?" I asked her, half growling, half whispering.
She seemed boggled by the question, before the answer came. She blushed at the thought.
"Your...girlfriend."
"Exactly. Does that mean I need to follow what you say?"
"Well, generally but-"
"Well then I refuse." I kissed her, the sky awash with amber. I took her by the waist and held her close to me.
"Well then, home again?"
"I guess so." She had a spring to her step after that.
Heh. So she really DOES like being my girlfriend. Oh well. It's been...kind of a fun day?
I think I've forgotten something though.
Shit.
My family is gonna make a fool out of me.
