@Tamult: Can you refresh my memory, please? I don't quite remember those two incidents off-hand.

The first one was when Kyon was at Tsuruya's place, the night he was told about the arrangement. Both Haruhi and Tsuruya were kissing him there. At one point, Haruhi realized that she was accidentally stroking Tsuruya's hair instead of Kyon's, and Tsuruya winked at her.

Second one was after a date with Mikuru and Haruhi. They get back to Mikuru's place, Haruhi tackles him through the door, and they both make out with him for a little while. Haruhi makes Kyon call Mikuru 'Mikuru-chan', and causes Mikuru to tackle him again. She resolves to make that happen after every date they have.

Those two are less "clusterkisses" and more "serialkisses"; when I first read the former, I thought it was about simultaneous kissing.

I was playing a pun on Clusterfuck. Of course Kyon was tangled up pretty heavily with both of them. Hence Clusterkiss. Simultaneous kissing and such is a bit harder to achieve, more so when you go beyond three people.

Unless you employ some form of "simultaneously co-existing in the same volume of space via quasi-intangibility without resulting in Tele-Frag".

I don't know if risking a telefrag is worth not having to wait your turn.

Why not just give Kyon two mouths? Meh, it sounds stupid even when I say it.....XD

I agree with Pax here. I think waiting your turn would be healthier for all of them, readers included.

Do you seriously want to read a couple of paragraphs depicting morphed Haruhi characters?

I did naht.

I wonder, the "simultaneously existing in the same space while making out with Kyon" thing could be possible with a bit of Yuki's help - wouldn't it also be a yuri indirect kiss ...or not so indirect, sorta... of awesome proportions.

Indirect Kiss applies to everybody who kisses Kyon. Which is just about everybody.

So, i'm drawing Roofhopping-Kyon hopping over roofs on a night sky backdrop. It's one of his many CMOA for me. I'm applying the Vilppu "everything is just made of boxes, draw bounding box first, details later" method. I'm new to it, so it may or may not give a good result. It'll take a while. I hope you'll like.

If i may add, the night sky backdrop came out pretty cool. I still need to add some blurry stuff to it...

So's the "Electric Slide", but you can draw that later, Agasa. grin

Also, I've noted this, from the latest chapter...

Haruhi sighed, hitting the button to close the doors and then stopping the elevator. For whatever reason, Sasaki seemed slightly amused, but not very surprised. Worse, though she could try and claim otherwise, she could understand Sasaki's argument completely.

That still didn't mean everything sat well with her.

"So ... did you know that Kyon had a crush on you in middle school?" Haruhi asked, compelled by morbid curiosity.

Sasaki's calm mask crumpled into a wince as she looked away. "I ... suspected," she allowed. "Not until it was too late, though..."

"Hmm," Haruhi allowed, not fully convinced. "And ... you're not going to try and cause problems with the fact that you've got a crush on him now?"

Sasaki flinched at that question, but managed to bring her gaze solidly up to meet Haruhi's. "As long as you resist, then so will I, Suzumiya-san," she returned, her voice quavering only the slightest bit. "If anything ... isn't that even more reason for us to be friends?"

Haruhi worked her jaw for a moment before hitting the 'stop' button again, shaking her head. How could she explain that to Sasaki? In time, perhaps ... but now? Now, the girl would most likely just leap at the chance to try and get a piece of Kyon for herself ... and she'd probably try and use pragmatic arguments and guilt-trips on Kyon - even if she didn't mean to. He was such a sucker for that!

No ... if Sasaki found out, she'd just want in. At least, right at the moment.

Um, any thoughts to that?

Resist what, exactly? His engagement to Tsuruya? Is she suggesting a friendship based on trying to split them up while declaring herself a romantic rival? It's not really clear, but that's kind of what I got out of it. I'm not really sure what that's about.

It looks like Haruhi doesn't want to share him with Sasaki. Not a big surprise there.

I think she meant "as you long as you resist (my attempts to bridge the gap in my relationship with Kyon), then so will I (resist your attempts to hinder my aforementioned attempts)".

Actually, because Sasaki doesn't know about the Harem, I read it more as "as long as you don't let your crush cause problems, I won't let mine." After that line, Haruhi thinks to herself that Sasaki doesn't know about the Tenchi Solution yet, so she obviously doesn't know the extent of the relationship between Haruhi and Kyon. Then Sasaki says that they should become friends to support each other, thinking that they both have to watch the person they love marry someone else.

Kind of a weird thing to base a friendship off of.

Sasaki is currently in a very different position from the rest of the girls, since she doesn't know about the harem plan. Kyon is engaged, and Sasaki is still pursuing a relationship with him. That's not something that engenders much sympathy. The others know that he loves all of them and that the engagement is a formality, but Sasaki doesn't know that.

Wait... nevermind, scratch all of that. After reading it over a few times I think she was talking about resisting the temptation to try to steal Kyon away from his fiancee. Sasaki is saying that as long as Haruhi resists the urge to pursue Kyon, then she won't either. She thinks they both have unrequited feelings for Kyon. That makes a lot more sense. It also makes Sasaki more sympathetic.

@Pax: That actually sounds more fitting. My interpretation still stands, though; Sasaki obviously noticed that Haruhi had been more or less trying to sabotage her chances at talking with Kyon soon for some reason and otherwise patch her friendship with him before suddenly making a 180.

Updated chapter:

Sasaki flinched at that question, but managed to bring her gaze solidly up to meet Haruhi's. "As long as you resist the impulse to damage his relationship with Tsuruya-san, then so will I, Suzumiya-san," she returned, her voice quavering only the slightest bit. "If anything ... isn't that even more reason for us to be friends?"

Well, that clears things up, then.

Another thing - I finally got around to reading Infinite Spinning Possibilities and this line caught my interest:

"It's okay!" Tsuruya-san says, jabbing one thumb into her chest. "You can trust your big sis, Tsuru-nyan! Kimidori-nyan is a quiet, shy girl, but I hear she likes tawny daylilies, and her hobbies are caligraphy and origami!"

Tawny daylilies, calligraphy and origami. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
