"I won't lose

Note: I don't own Shakugan no Shana.

This whole story is like a dream and it's almost morning. Well, time for me to close the door on this while hoping to see if another door opens. The second season has ended and the harem element is obviously gone but it shall never be forgotten. Pity some think that I killed the harem element in Shakugan no Shana. All things must come to an end one way or another.

But then again, I might rewrite this over as the thought has crossed my mind.

I've always sucked at ending chapters anyways.

IIII:IIII

Some time later….

"You know you shouldn't have tried taping that stuff." Kyon remarked.

Haruhi merely ignored Kyon as she looked at the compiled DVDs, finished and ready for distribution. "They really pay well in the Guze for this stuff so don't try anything funny when I sell them."

"What about Sakai Yuji?" Kyon inquired. "Do you plan on leaving him at the mercy of those twelve females?"

"They say harems are good in creating a new gene pool. But I plan to turn time around to see this happen all over again for different final outcomes." Haruhi replied, channeling her god-like powers.

"What for?" Kyon asked.

"Ever heard of multiple endings in certain RPG video games?" Haruhi asked.

Kyon slapped his forehead. "I'm sure you read that old tablet regarding that when you were filming all that adult action."

"Yeah, yeah. If thou thinkest life is but a game, be warned: Beyond this point, thou canst not be saved." Haruhi replied irritably. "But I so happened to have saved at multiple checkpoints before going beyond that point. I just wanted to see how things would go if conditions were met and get something in return such as all twelve females sleeping and having fun with Sakai Yuji."

Haruhi then took a small slip of paper out and handed it to Kyon. "Which reminds me, I'm ordering you right now to head to this location and wait for further instructions."

As Kyon left, Haruhi slowly took time in looking at the paper she made on the twelve females that slept with Yuji Sakai.

Valac: Five stars. Knows her stuff though it's mostly from the Wine of Lustful Consummation. A very good thief who can steal more than the show.

Yukari Hirai: Four stars. Credit on performance is attributed to Valac and the Wine of Lustful Consummation.

Shana: Four and a half stars. A bit creative but that's mostly due to being hormonally unbalanced caused by Yukari Hirai whispering the spell insignia "Script Behavior Override" into her ear. Very possessive.

Hecate: Two stars. Cute loli types can be terrible in bed. She probably isn't empty now.

Konoe Fumina: Two stars. Same like Hecate. No further comment.

Bel Peol: Inconclusive due to CPU overload. No data available.

Mystes of the Papagena: Three and a half stars. It could've been worse.

Yoshida Kazumi: Four stars and a half stars. Standard expectations met.

Wilhelmina Carmel: Five stars. Extra credit for yuri antics. Definitely Bi.

Mathilde Saint-Omer: Five stars. Extra credit for yuri antics. Definitely Bi.

Pheles: Five stars. Extra credit for yuri antics. Definitely Bi. Wonder how Johan's reaction will be.

Margery Daw: Five stars. A bit aggressive in taking some things up a notch. But then again, she did live in a brothel at one point.

Of course, these are only opinions so they don't carry much weight.

Haruhi smiled before placing the sheet into a folder before going on her computer, thinking about on how much she should sell copies of the DVDs for.

IIII:IIII

The next morning…

"Now Yu-chan." Chigusa began speaking. "Your father and I deserve a real explanation regarding this."

Yuji was speechless as he sat at the other end of the table. Shana, Yukari Hirai, Hecate, Konoe Fumina, Yoshida Kazumi, the Mystes of the Papagena, Mathilde, Pheles, Wilhelmina Carmel, Margery Daw, Valac, and Bel Peol sat around the table, hoping for Yuji to try to get them and himself off the hook. Shana, Kazumi, Pheles, and Wilhelmina sat closest to the Mystes as though giving him their mental support as he attempts to explain things to his parents.

"It probably was more than an accident…" Yuji tried to speak.

"Yuji, you've practically impregnated these women and girls with your genetics." Kantaro spoke up. "As a man, you'll be hard-pressed with extreme responsibility as you now have a total of at least twelve children with them. None of them are willing to have an abortion."

"I tried to get Johan to knock up Pheles instead of me." Yuji replied. "It's not my fault that he can string me like a marionette."

Pheles sighed. "Nice try. You underestimated his skills tenfold, Yuji. But what you and Johan planned is worthy of my gratitude. Well done, kid. Looks like Johan has a more proper father this time." The Guze Queen smirked mischievously as she patted the area where her womb would be before looking at Chigusa and Kantaro. "I want to congratulate you and your husband for raising such a fine young son. It's a pity for him that other females from the Guze may try to force themselves onto him in the future if they ever find out about this."

"Thanks, I think." Kantaro and Chigusa replied simultaneously.

"Eh, I'm not concerned." Margery spoke up. "Yuji's got all of us here to look after him anyways. Besides, with the exception of you eleven, I would beat the daylights out of any other bimbo, slut, and tramp from the Guze if they even think about stealing Yuji."

"You do realize that those words are synonyms, right?" Mathilde asked.

Margery merely shrugged her shoulders.

"Anyways, I hope having twelve daughter-in-laws with twelve grandchildren total isn't a problem… Mom and Dad." Bel Peol piped up as she slid her arms around Chigusa and Kantaro. The Arbiter of Reverse Reasoning then winked at Hecate and Konoe, both of them looking at Bel Peol in bewilderment.

Kantaro scratched his head quizzically as he quickly moved away from Bel Peol. "Well, you six women seem a bit too grown-up to be daughter-in-laws of the Sakai household. Shana, Hirai, Yoshida, Hecate, Konoe, and that girl with the horns, however, seem suited for that post."

"But on the other hand, I think I might be able to find some use for the grown-ups of the bunch." Chigusa remarked as she looked at each and every one of them.

'Carmel-san could help me clean the house. Mathilde could help me cook in the kitchen. Valac could help me with the garden since beautiful kunoichi like her are very efficient in what they do. But where does Bel Peol, Pheles, and Margery fit in?' Chigusa thought to herself.

Mathilde, who was happening to be reading Chigusa's mind, came up with the answer. "Bel Peol, Pheles, and Margery are tough women so they could be your bodyguards when you go to town."

"Oh, that's a good one!" Chigusa replied happily.

"Quite the airhead, isn't she?" Pheles whispered to Wilhelmina.

"She's actually a good woman, de arimasu." Wilhelmina whispered back.

"Anyways." Valac spoke. "How do we fit in around Yuji?"

"I may have been convinced to let this slide but there won't be any more repeats!" Shana replied. For the first time, the adult women turned towards the group of young girls, whom all turned to look at Shana.

"Geez, you're spoiling all the fun in life." The Mystes of the Papagena remarked.

"What she means is that Yuji isn't for free here on out." Said Yoshida, catching everyone's attention. "We have to contribute something to our common love interest."

"You better not be saying what I think you're saying." Margery growled.

"First of all, we all should accept Shana-chan's statement that he isn't for free." Yoshida replied. "But in return, she should agree to drop her monopoly on Sakai-kun when we do contribute some form of one-time payment."

"What are you proposing, de arimasu?" asked Wilhelmina.

"There's twelve of us here." Said Yoshida. "A full calendar year has twelve months so each of us will get to be with Yuji for a month's period in the year."

"There are seven days in a week and four weeks minimum in a month." Hecate replied. "That means we all have three hundred and thirty six days so what happens to the twenty nine days remaining?"

"That's for myself!" Yuji blurted out, not wanting to see the women and girls he slept with make decisions for him. "The twenty-nine days should be for myself."

But the Mystes received a bunch of glares that said "Shut the hell up because no one asked you!" before slumping in his seat, feeling so insignificant.

"I have an idea." A new voice answered and everyone turned to see none other than Haruhi Suzumiya standing at the back door.

"That special time should be for rentals since he's the ideal paramour of perfection." The SOS chief proposed. "You rent Yuji out to the other hot females of the Guze that request it. And Chigusa gets to keep the rental fees."

"WHAT?!" everyone asked in shock and Haruhi merely pointed to the front door, which was kicked down. Everyone turned to see a young girl with red hair and wearing medieval-looking attire.

"Kiara?!" Pheles inquired, recognizing the young Flame Haze.

"Uh, hi Pheles." The Archer of Aurora replied before catching sight of Yuji. "Ah, the Mystes I've been looking for. Or rather, we've been looking for. The two Guze Queens I'm contracted to wanted to meet you, Sakai Yuji. They'll be here shortly along with..."

The loud thud of a body hitting the floor could be heard and everyone turned to see Sakai Yuji passed out on the ground.

The four Guze Queens, three female Flame Hazes, one female ex-Flame Haze, one Mystes girl, one Torch girl, one human girl, and one faux vessel girl sitting around the table looked at each other with suspicious glares. None of them bothered with Kiara, who was helping Kantaro take the unconscious Yuji upstairs. Chigusa and Haruhi looked at each other before silently slinking away to the safety of the outside porch.

"Alright, who was the one that wore him out the most last night?!" Margery inquired, activating a Fuzetsu and it wasn't long before she found herself in a wild free for all as Shana, Yukari, Kazumi, Hecate, Konoe, the Mystes of the Papagena, Wilhelmina, Pheles, Mathilde, Valac, and Bel Peol began beating the hell out of each other on the lawn once they stepped outside the house. Chigusa and Haruhi went back in before watching the fight from the window.

"And so, this is the way traditional matrimony ends in the Sakai bloodline." Haruhi remarked. "Not with a bang, but with a harem battle royal for whimpering equality… or dominant authority."

IIII:IIII

"God… or Haruhi." Kyon spoke in prayer. "Let's face it. I don't like you driving me crazy and you don't like me questioning you out of line. But the matter of fact is that, even though I'll never say this in front of your face, I really do enjoy your strange and random antics that go beyond the norms. There were times when I wanted to say what was in my mind and here's something for the day; you created the world in six days and you rested on the seventh in order to play and toy with the lives of those below you. Quite frankly, I've stopped believing in days off ever since you came in my life, so it's possible that I should credit you for actually giving me a stronger work ethic than you seem to possess right now, though I'll make sure to use it in a way that benefits society. Since you've given me this task, I'm going to ask for one thing; what will I get in return? Amen."

The door burst open and Kyon turned to see none other than Haruhi standing at the doorway wearing a rather long fur-coat. Upon seeing the slight curl of her lips holding a tiny sly smile, the young man mentally cursed himself for praying earlier.

"I wonder what someone like yourself desires the most." Haruhi remarked slyly as she slowly let her fur coat fall to the ground, revealing her body clothed scantily in something black and lacy. Areas such as her shoulders, arms, cleavage, stomach, and thighs showed her bare skin that Kyon didn't even know what he should do. But it really didn't matter because the brown-haired girl pounced onto him with such force that he fell backwards onto the bed behind.

Pinning Kyon to the bed, Haruhi had both her arms around his head and kept her eyes trained on a book that people under the age of eighteen were usually banned from looking into but there were those whose hormones and curiosity hampered such judgment.

'Hmmm…. Bel Peol really did her research and experimentation for this pose.' Haruhi thought to herself as she memorized the instructions and side-notes labeled on the page that was one of the many others contained in Bel Peol's custom version of Kami Sutra.

"Now, Kyon. Show me what you're made of if you're a man." Haruhi commanded as she seductively pressed her body into him.

III:IIII

Yuji shot out from his bed, looking like hell. It was morning and the day greeted him with a glow of the rising sun.

"Was it all a dream?" Yuji shook his head as he got out of bed.

"Oh, Yu-chan!" Chigusa called out. "Looks like someone left you something."

"Eh?" Yuji seemed a bit surprised. "Who would bother going through all the trouble?"

"I wish I knew." Chigusa replied before heading upstairs.

As the Mystes opened the bag, he was surprised to see Yoshida's usual bento at the top. But as he opened the box, Yuji seemed rather taken aback that it had twelve slots filled up with food.

After taking the bento box out, Yuji then found a small bottle of wine and a postcard.

With love from the following:

Shana, Hirai, Yoshida, Hecate, Konoe, Mystes of the Papagena, Wilhelmina, Mathilde, Pheles, Bel Peol, Valac, and Margery Daw.

Margery knows that you're underage to drink but we miserably failed to convince her in selecting the appropriate beverage for the lunch combo we all made for you. You'd be surprised on how Wilhelmina greatly improved on her cooking skills. Anyways, we send you all our love as one of us gets to be the first to spend a full month with you starting today.

As if on cue, Yuji heard someone appear and, upon seeing a pair of arms wrap around him and feeling a pair of warm breasts seductively pressing into his back, the Mystes didn't need much to know who was behind him, especially when he heard the sound of metal chains and jewelry with his ears.

"Good morning, little Yuji." Bel Peol cooed as Yuji seemed to freeze in the Guze Queen's embrace. "Mind if you and I take a bath together?"

The household of the Sakai family resonated with a very loud scream of surprise.

III:III

On the computer screen, the image of Yuji screaming in fear before collapsing in Bel Peol's arms could be seen. A warm bathtub was ready and waiting in the second floor's bathroom as the Guze Queen, who carried the Mystes upstairs, smiled before the screen turned black and the words "Round one completed. Now you may save at this point."

The mouse cursor second-clicked, bringing up a menu that read:

1) Pause Game

2) New Game

3) Load/Save Game

4) Options/Settings

5) Help

6) Exit

The cursor moved to the "Load/Save Game" option before clicking it and bringing up a list that read:

1) Completed #1

2) Chapter 8

3) Chapter 7

4) Chapter 6

5) Chapter 5

6) Chapter 4

7) Chapter 3

8) Chapter 2

9) Chapter 1

10) Empty Slot

Decisions, decisions….

Regardless on how things turned out, the idea of multiple futures seemed very assuring as the life of Sakai Yuji, be it continuous or a repeat in the game of life, will always be filled with some form of chaos.
