For those of you who are not familiar with the first instalment of these drabbles, each time I cross a hundred marker I do a ten-part special on a certain theme- this time, I am doing cross-overs. I've tried to pick things that a lot of people will have watched/read… so, enjoy.
Haruhi Suzumiya and the rest of the SOS Brigade, from 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya'
Haruhi and Renji

"Have you seen the new transfer student?!"
One face did not look up from her book, and the second just rolled his eyes as he turned back to the board between him and the third, who expressed the smile of interest that she had been looking for. The fourth squeaked a little as she spilled hot tea on her fingers at the sound of the door banging open, and their esteemed leader making her proclamation.
"His hair! Such a colour! So unusual- he must have really strange parents, maybe even from other planets!"
Kyon sighed. He felt a headache coming on already.
"And his tattoos! He was evidently the member of some nefarious gang in his previous life, cast out because of some mysterious deed!"
She pointed a finger towards the window, in the vague direction of other school buildings, and Kyon suppressed a groan as Koizumi made a winning move. For all of their sakes, he hoped that this new exchange student was just another human. Lord knows, what would be next? He'd had enough of aliens, espers and time-travellers to last him a lifetime. What was next- a death god?
"I intend to find him! He's going to be the newest member of the SOS Brigade! He'll breathe new life into this group in a way that none of you boring humans could ever do!"
And with that final (insulting) word, she slammed the door back behind her, and ran off.
Somewhere across school, Renji suppressed a cringing shudder, as if someone had just walked over his grave.
He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that today was not going to go well.
Not at all.
