Chapter 6: Discovery and Confusion

Yuki had made tea, and Edward had changed into his pajamas. It was finally time to see what Yuki was going to tell his. "Edward," she began, staring at him intently. "I…am what your race would call… an Alien."

Edward laid in his bed and stared at the ceiling. This is all to much… something that centuries of science couldn't find, was living right here in Tokyo. An alien, amazing. Edward had asked here hundreds of questions, but thousands more still swarmed his head. I have to keep this a secret, for her sake. But, why did she look so worried. Was it because she was worried that I would feel differently about her? That hasn't changed at all. But how can I prove that to her?

Edward didn't have time to think about it, for he had fallen asleep.

The next morning, Edward and Yuki got ready I silence. When they sat down to breakfast, Edward knew he had to say something but he didn't know what. "Um….Yuki, I wanted to say-"

"OH EDWARD ELRIC!" Edward was suddenly bombarded with pink sparkles and muscle as he was picked up and pulled into a suffocating bear hug. "MAJOR! HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?"

"I USED THE DOOR, SILLY BOY!"

Edward glanced over to the door, which was no longer a door, it was pieces of wood scattered all over the floor.

"HEY! DON'T BREAK THINGS THAT I'LL HAVE TO FIX! AND PUT ME DOWN!"

After Edward had regained his breath, he glared at the major. "What-do-you-want?"

The major, realizing that he came there for a reason, looked over at Yuki, then leaned down and whispered into Edward's ear. "A Homunculus was spotted in this area."

Edward froze "Do you know which one?"

"Not for sure, but I heard that it was seen changing it's form to look like a young girl."

Envy! What's he doing here? I better keep on my guard.

"I'll tell you if I see or hear anything." Ed promised. The Major nodded, bowed to Yuki and, left the house. Edward suddenly realized something- "Yuki!" Ed turned to face the girl. "Are you able to protect yourself? Using.. Alien powers and whatnot?" Yuki, as if this was a way to answer, fixed her glasses with eye that said, Yes.

"That's good," Edward sighed. "Oh, we should get going! Were gonna be late!" And with that they got up and hustled out the door. As they walked, Yuki had seemed to have be come more carefree. She was clutching the Kappa and talking with Ed casually. I'm glad she's okay. Edward smiled and laughed with her. But, he also was constantly glancing around for Envy. If he comes within an inch of anyone in this city, he'll pay!

When the two reached the school, they said there goodbyes and went to there separate classes. Well, here I go with the second day. I hope Haruhi doesn't completely destroy the last bit of dignity I have in me… well I have bigger problems to worry about. Edward got to class with five minutes to spare. Wonder were Haruhi is, she's not in her seat. Maybe I don't have to deal with her today, what a relief. Edward seemed like he was going to exploded with happiness when- "EDO-CHAN!" Edward was tackle hugged from behind and he fell to the ground. "HARUHI SUZUMIYA GET OFF OF ME!" Haruhi jumped off him and skipped to her seat. geez, can't she give me a break. I wonder what else today has in store. Ed thought as he walked to his seat, ignoring the giggling from the other students. He sat down and looked out the window, looking for wandering homunculi. Haruhi suddenly suck something in the inside pocket of Ed's jacket. "Huh?" Ed dug it out and examined it. It was a small bunny stuffed animal. "What's this."

"I'm giving everyone in the SOS Brigade a stuffed animal that suits them best, and your small."

"SHUTTUP!" Edward jammed the bunny in his inside- jacket pocket. He wanted to keep it as a memory of Haruhi's first act of kindness to him. He glared out the window.

Kyon was walking down the hall with a friend from class named Tanaguchi. "So, why were you absent yesterday?" Kyon asked. "I caught a cold, it was brutal!" By the look on your face, Kyon thought, it's obvious that you skipped. "Have you gone on any dates recently?" Kyon knew this was a subject that Tanaguchi love.

"No. I need to find someone to date and then rate! But there's no one special yet- WWOOAAHH! Look at the hottie!" They had reached the classroom, and Tanaguchi was pointing to the seat behind Haruhi, to- oh no. Edward was still looking out the window.

Tanaguchi was about to walk over to him, when Kyon grabbed his shoulder. "Before you get any immature ideas, you should know, that is a guy, his name is Edward Elric, and you will be killed if you call him a girl."

"Are you blind, Man!" Tanaguchi whispered, "She may were a boy's uniform, but she may have a certain problem that made her want to wear that kind of uniform. Or maybe she's got a secret identity that she doesn't want anyone to know about! But she can't fool me! I can she a hottie from a mile away!"

"Then your blind, for your sake, don't do this, you'll be in the hospital for a week. I should know! (I still feel the bruise.)"

"You tried to ask her out! You sly dog!"

"That's not what I meant!" then kyon considered what Tanaguchi was saying, I mean, Edward kind of did have a girlish look to him. And after hearing Edward's story, he has all the reasons to hide his identity. But it still doesn't add up, I mean, doesn't he like Nagato? But maybe there just close friends….. Maybe….

Suddenly, the bell rang. "Take your seat gentlemen!" the teacher walked in, Kyon and Tanaguchi rushed to their seats, and another class began.

The last bell of the day ended, after a delicious lunch that Yuki had packed that made Kyon very jealous, and some weird looks from the boy Kyon walked in with, Edward felt…. Not one bit prepared for Suzumiya. "I'll meetcha both there!" Haruhi squealed at Edward and Kyon, and ran out of the class.

"This can't be good," Edward said catching up to Kyon. "Do you know anything about Haruhi has planed today, just so I can be prepared." Edward asked, getting a little depressed as he realized he had to look up to see Kyon's face.

"Trust me," Kyon sighed, "I never know what happens in that girl's plans." Kyon glanced somewhere back in the classroom to Tanaguchi. He was giving him a jealous and annoyed looked. This made Kyon run out of the room. "Kyon? Wait up! Your legs are longer than mine!" Edward called after him.

They reached the classroom to find all the members, besides Suzumiya, there, drinking tea. "Oh, Edward, Kyon! Welcome back!" Mikuru smiled, and sat down next to Edward when he sat down and after making tea for both of them.

Kyon sat across from Edward staring at him. Maybe he really is a girl. I mean he gets embarrassed real easily, and he doesn't like to be called small, that could mean that he thinks they're saying his…upper area is small… Edward looked up, "What's the matter, Kyon?" Gahhhhhh! I'm staring at her or him or what ever he or she is! "Umm…It's N-nothing."

"Hey Everyone!" Haruhi came in with a bag in her hand. "I've got something special today!" Haruhi set the bag on the table, dug threw it, and brought out five smaller bags. "Everyone gets one" she tossed a bag to everyone. "What's in it?" Edward asked, a little worried. "We're gonna play a little game! Depending on what's in your bag, that will decide what you are when we play!" Everyone unwrapped there bag and pulled out the object. Kyon got a little businessman doll. Mikuru got a housewife doll. Koizumi got a little dog keychain. Yuki got a super hero action figure. And Edward got a little toddler doll. "What the hell?" Edward exclaimed, hanging the doll by the hair.

"Okay," Haruhi smiled, ignoring Edward's complaints. "Now that you got your roles, you should now that I am the mom, Kyon is the father, Yuki is the maid, koizumi is the family pet, Yuki is the older brother, and Edo-Chan is the child of all of us."

"So we're basically playing House. That's a little childish Haruhi." Kyon inputted, plus he didn't want to pretended to be the husband of a crazy lady. "Why do I gotta be the child! And why is Yuki a boy?" Edward complained, this was stupid in his opinion.

"This was selected at random, there's no point in arguing." Haruhi said cheerfully, handing out props.

Just by her saying it that way, I know she set it up this way.

A little while later, everything was in place and they were ready to begin. "Okay, we begin as I'm coming home, Kyon is still at work, Mikuru is cleaning, And Edward is playing with Koizumi." Haruhi announced, gesturing to everyone with a newspaper in her hand. "Tsh…" Edward slouched against the wall with his eyes closed. "I don't 'play,' leave me out of it."

Edward was hit with a newspaper. "OOWW! What the hell!"

"You get hit every time you don't participate." Haruhi said flatly.

"Maybe I don't want to! This doesn't even- OOWW!"

"Stop complaining."

"I'm not- OOWW! Will you cut it out?"

"If you participate."

"Damn it.. OWW! What was that for?"

"My children don't swear without getting hurt."

And so they began, going through a couple seen before the seen were Kyon comes home. "Okay! Now Kyon comes home and swings Edward around in his arms.

"NOT ON YOUR LIFE- OWW!"

"DO IT!

"OKAY! Just don't hit me!"

So Kyon pretended to walk into a house. "Welcome home, honey!" Haurhi squealed. "Welcome home, Mr. Suzumiya. (Last Name decided by Haruhi)." Mikuru said. "Bark!" Koizumi said. Kyon walked up to Edward. Edward glared at him, "…daddy.." Edward muttered,(Haruhi told him to say that.) Kyon grabbed Edward by the torso and lifted him into the air. Is Edward really a girl? Kyon wondered, he tried to she if there was any chest extension on Edward. He felt something. Oh my god! He's a she!

"No!" Haruhi kicked Kyon lightly in the back. "You're have to swing him around." Kyon became unbalanced and fell forward into the wall on top of Edward. In the end, they landed in a…awkward… position. "I-I-I'm so sorry!" Kyon stuttered. "Well," Edward rubbed his head "Nothing broken."

Suddenly, the door opened. "Kyon," came a voice. The person came in and looked around. "are you in here, it's Tanaguchi, I wanted to talk to you about-" He noticed the to that fell. Tanaguchi stood there, glaring. Kyon was confused at his look at first, but then he understood and sat up, Blushing. Tanaguchi glared. "T-t-tanaguchi! I-I-it's not what you think!" Kyon tried to explain. Tanaguchi stormed out of the room. "Wait!" Kyon cried, and ran after him. Edward sat up, still rubbing his head. "What was that about?"

"I don't know…." Haruhi thought aloud. "A mystery! As the sos brigade we will investigate tomorrow! I just were done for today though." With that Haruhi grabbed her bag and walked out. She's not even a little concerned about Kyon. And so they walked out , deciding that whatever it was about, they would handle it tomorrow.
