Hey, It's Durante Alighieri with the edited version of my first fanfic for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
I am following the English Dub Version in which they use the names in Western order (example: Kei Kusanagi) and my first, first-person narrative story.
Okay, enough talk... here's the story!
Kyon in Canada
Chapter One "Sayonara"
Part One "Confession"
Time travelers, aliens, and espers, the only thing Haruhi would've ever thought of if they existed; my weekends were taken over by SOS scoutings for any of those three, which are already in the SOS brigade right now.
But something changed everything.
Soon after the accident that killed my mother, little sister and left me hospitalized; my dad sent me to Canada; he told me that he will never allow anything to happen to me, so it took me 3 weeks to learn English. When I told this to the brigade, Haruhi, frustrated, left the room. After I learned the language, it was time for me to go, as I approached the doors of the airport. All the SOS brigade members: my dad, Tanaguchi and Kunikida excluding Haruhi.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye, Kyon." Koizumi shook my hand. I just saw Miss Asahina crying and Yuki Nagato with a book her lap.
"So have you seen Haruhi anywhere?" I asked Koizumi.
He just shook his head then frowned.
"Good luck hunting girls there in Canada, Kyon." Tanaguchi placed a hand on my shoulder
Whack!! I slapped him hard in the head
"Ouch..." he whined, "That hurt, Kyon."
"Hey Kyon." my dad placed a hand on my shoulder, "I've asked your distant cousin Ryu in Canada if you could stay in his place and he'll take care of your education in there." my dad gave me a hug.
"Thanks, Dad." a tear fell down in my cheek as I walked toward the doors.
"Good luck in Canada, Kyon" Kunikida waved at me.
I looked around to see if Haruhi was hiding on one of the support columns, but I couldn't see her anywhere, "I guess Haruhi is still mad at me." I told to myself, then a final warning to my flight ringed at the P.A. system, so I boarded the plane and took my seat next to the window then peered at the window, I saw Haruhi on the other side of the fence. I just sighed, as the plane taxis on the runway, leaned on the seat and shut my eyes. The plane then took off, I suddenly opened my eyes and I realized that Miss Ryoko Asakura is in Canada!!
Hours later, I arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport. From the moment the plane touched down, there was snow down the sides of the runway. I mean that is the first time I've seen that amount of snow. After grabbing my luggage from the carousel, I saw my distant cousin Ryu at the waiting area,
"Hey! Kyon." he spoke to me in English.
"Hello, Ryu." I replied.
"I'm sorry to what happened to aunt and your sibling, Kyon." he spoke to me in Japanese.
"Yeah, me too."
My cousin, Ryu grabbed my luggage and walked to his car. I still can't believe that my cousin Ryu owned an Aston Martin DB9, I mean really, in Japan, an import is expensive, but a car like that here in Canada, it's like 200,000 Canadian dollars.
"Nice car, eh?" Ryu tapped the roof of the car.
"Yeah." I looked inside the car and I saw full leather seats, 'whoa, he's rich.' "What is your job here anyway?"
Ryu laughed after hearing the question, "I'm a paleoclimatologist."
"Paleoclimatologist? Hmm... I think it is something that related to climate."
"Hey, are you coming in or you'll freeze to death out there." Ryu rolled the window in front of me, got in the car.
"Hey, is my bag in the trunk?" I asked Ryu then closed the car door beside me.
"Of course I did." he steered the car then moved out. "Why do you think I would leave your bag outside?"
As the car drove along the highway, I saw many western style buildings: the CN tower, the Rogers Centre, and lots of other buildings. We then passed the city centre and approached Scarborough.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at Ryu's house. It's a two floor detached and the interior is full of maps. I saw a computer; simulating all the weather patterns in Canada. I looked at the simulation. "Weather in Canada sure is rough." I told Ryu.
"Really?" Ryu placed my luggage on the landing and took a look. "Ah, that is during winter season"
"Damn, I forgot to get my winter jacket." I placed my hands on my head but I misunderstood what he said.
"Don't worry, it's already fall." Ryu looked at him "Your room is the last door upstairs and I prepared your uniform for next year."
"Thanks, Ryu." I grabbed my luggage and went upstairs. "Why next year?"
"Sorry, I can't get you in at any school here, they're full now." Ryu cleared up the maps scattered on the floor "Hey, one rule, no shoes on the carpet." he pointed at my shoes on the carpet.
I looked down and I saw my shoes on his carpeted floor.
"Oops, ha ha." I took off my shoes and went upstairs. My room is the biggest room in the house, since Ryu didn't like big rooms. There was a flat screen TV, a computer, a study table, and a bed of course. I placed my bag on the floor and turned on the computer. I logged in my email account and I saw one email, it came from Haruhi, it read:
March 17, 2006
Dear Kyon,
So how's Canada so far, I hope it is great out there. I'm sorry if I didn't show up at the airport..
I've wanting to tell you this... I like you, Kyon. From the first time you talked to me, you resemble a person I met in the 3 years ago, but I ignore you sometimes, but inside me, my heart is inundated with questions if you like me. But when you told us that you will leave Japan, I was frustrated and I thought you didn't like me, but I can't really confess to you in front of them. I hope you could reply to this email, okay? I have to go now.
Haruhi.
Now that email left me staring at the screen for some time.
"So, who is Haruhi?"
"Ryu!" I minimized the internet explorer "What the hell are you doing here?!"
"Is Haruhi your... I don't know." Ryu smiled at me "Your new girlfriend?"
Just like what I did to Tanaguchi, I whacked him hard in the head.
"Sheesh, I am kidding, man." he rubbed his head.
"Hey!" I told Ryu, "Can you respect my privacy?!"
"Alright, Alright." he left the room.
After logging out and turning off the computer, I went to the bed and fell asleep.
The next day I woke up and looked at the clock; it was 3'o clock in the morning "Uhh... jet-lag." I told to myself then I passed out. Two minutes later, I woke up and logged in on my email before I replied to Haruhi. I saw a new email, and you guessed it, it came from Haruhi but this time, Haruhi-in-SOS-Brigade-mode and it read:
March 18 2006
To Kyon:
As the only member of the SOS Brigade in Canada, you are now automatically a club president and Commander of the SOS Brigade North America Division. Being a president has responsibilities which are:
Maintaining constant contact with the SOS Brigade Headquarters here in Japan.
Has at least 5 members.
And has the approval of the School Student Body or the High school principal.
And forget about my previous email to you okay?
Haruhi, SOS brigade president
"Damn!" I exclaimed at the top of my lungs. "Why does Haruhi need to ruin my life like this?!"
Then Ryu opened the door "Hey... Kyon, what the..." then he collapsed on the carpeted floor, snoring.
I sighed "Whatever... if that's what you want, then fine."
Part Two "Flashback"
One month later, it is summer, finally, after Ryu forbids me from getting outside "You are not allowed to go outside, Kyon." that's what only he "You can only go out when it is 3'o clock, okay?" he dropped me off to a place called Scarborough Town Centre gave me an allowance of 1000 dollars!! I can't believe it, really I mean in Japan my average allowance is like 4230 yen.
"Kyon," Ryu talked through the window "Take the bus route 133 and drop off at Crow Trail if you are going home, okay?"
"Okay, Ryu." I told him.
Ryu drove off and left me alone, so I just sighed and went inside the building.
During my time in Scarborough Town Centre, I bought a new I-Pod touch and did you know, in the food court while I was ordering food, I bumped into a girl dropping my bag.
"I am so sorry." I told her while I knelled down picking up my bag I looked at her and I thought "I'm dead".
"Ms. Asakura?" I asked her
"What are you talking about?" the girl asked.
"Oh, sorry I thought you were an old friend of mine" Damn, I forgot that Ms. Asakura's departure to Canada was a cover up, thank you, Ms. Nagato.
After I ordered my lunch and sat down the table, I began to remember the email that Haruhi sent me
Yesterday, "Does Haruhi really like me?"
I shook my head and started to eat. While I was eating, I remembered the accident that happened two months ago.
This is where the part of the story where the author takes over...
FLASHBACK:
November 2005
Kyon, her sister, and his mother were en route to North High.
"Mom, you don't need to come with me." Kyon looked at his mother.
"My, my, Kyon." his mother told him "Your grades were a bit low these days, is it because of the SOS brigade leader?"
"Kyon-kun had a girlfriend, Kyon-kun had a girlfriend." Kyon's sister teased him
"Keep quiet." Kyon patted her head "Mom, you don't have to..." before he could complete his sentence, an out of control truck smacks into the wall, the load fall on top of the three.
Three months later... February 2006
"Kyon, you're awake." his dad's tears went in a constant stream.
"Dad..." Kyon rubbed his head with his right hand "How long was I asleep?"
"Three months." his dad stopped crying "You were in a coma."
"What!!" Kyon looked at the calendar. "February 2006."
"And I am sending you to Canada."
"Canada?!" Kyon's eyes were as large as saucers "What happened to Mom and Imouto-chan?!"
"I'm sorry, Kyon." his dad lowered his head "They're dead."
"No..." he placed one hand on his mouth then tears dropped onto the bed sheets.
One week later...
Kyon opens the door of the clubroom.
"Hi, Kyon." Koizumi waved hello.
"Kyon!!" Mikuru hugged him.
"I got something to tell you all."
The door slammed open.
"Kyon?" Haruhi looked at his back.
"Just in time." Kyon thought to himself.
Few Minutes Later...
"I am so sorry, Kyon." Koizumi placed a hand on Kyon's shoulder.
"And also there is one more thing." Kyon stood up and got close to the window "I am going to Canada."
"I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU, KYON!!" Haruhi stood up, opened the door and left. Before she left the clubroom, Kyon saw tears in her eyes.
FLASHBACK ENDS:
When that part of the Flashback came in to my head, I suddenly stopped eating and I looked up the window at the ceiling. After a few minutes of staring in space, I resumed eating. Few hours later, I went home and tried out the I-pod touch but I discovered that it had no songs so I went to the internet and downloaded some songs. After two hours of downloading, Ryu called me for dinner
"Hey Kyon, dinnertime!!" he called from the first floor.
"Right, I'm coming." I replied. I went down and there was ham and other food on the table. "So, what's the occasion, Ryu?" I asked him.
"Well you see my fiancée is going to arrive here, so I prepared some meal."
"Wait, you're getting married, Ryu?"
"This fall." Ryu looked at me "You better change to more formal attire."
"Right." I went upstairs.
After changing, I went downstairs grabbed a manga then the doorbell rang.
Even before I stood up, Ryu dashed towards me and there was a pile up, my eyes are spiraling and Ryu was the first to get his bearings back, as I staggered to the sofa.
Part Three "An e-mail From Haruhi."
"This is Kyon, my cousin." Ryu introduced me to her fiancée "Kyon, this is Nicole my fiancée."
"Why are Kyon's eyes were spiraling?" Nicole asked my cousin.
"A little accident before I opened the door, ha ha ha." Ryu laughed.
It took me another ten seconds before getting my balance back. As I approached the dining table, I saw Ryu's fiancée on the table. "Hello, Kyon." Nicole smiled at me
"Hello to you too, Nicole." I replied.
I sat down on the other side while Ryu and Nicole were both sitting at the other side.
"So, Kyon" Nicole asked me "How's life?"
"Great so far." I replied
After eating, I went upstairs, leaving Ryu and Nicole alone in the living room.
After taking a bath I headed to my bedroom and I approached the computer. I turned on the computer and logged on to my email account. About the first email that Haruhi sent me one month ago.
I took another look at it and I tried to reply to it, but how?
After a minute, an e-mail popped in my account, and it came from Haruhi... again. But this time she is not on her SOS-Brigade-Mode, it read:
June 7, 2008
Hey Kyon!!
So how is Canada so far? I hope it is great there so far. And I got good news, I got special permission from the Canadian Embassy here in Japan and guess what, they gave the SOS brigade a one-week visit! Tell us your address and we are going to your house.
Haruhi.
"Oh, no, no, no." I rubbed my temples. "No way." I thought for a while and I had no other choice, so I gave the address, besides... I miss them. Then I saw Haruhi, still online, open for chat:
If you ever see the username "J-smith1701" well that's me, okay, this is my chat between Haruhi and me:
J-smith1701: Are you Haruhi Suzumiya?
H-Suzu95: Are you Kyon?
J-smith1701: So, what type of persuasion did you do to the ambassador? Did you make some scandal that forced the ambassador? Or is it the old stunt that you did on the computer club president? Maybe a death threat?
H-Suzu95: Shut up Kyon, what is your address? And why the hell would I make a death threat to the ambassador anyway?!
J-smith1701: Okay, why would I?
H-Suzu95: To see how you are doing there.
J-smith1701: ... :)
H-Suzu95: ...darn...
J-smith1701: Okay, 1801 Lord Blakeney Road, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, M1T SA8
Yuki.N: Recording complete.
H-Suzu95: Gotcha!!
J-smith1701 has logged out.
I immediately logged out my account, turned off the computer, and lied down on the bed. "Damn, she is annoying!"
End of chapter one
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hello people, Durante Alighieri with the first fanfic for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and my third fanfiction story, "Kyon in Canada". I made some changes in here so...
I changed the address because my brother is so annoying because it is close to my house.
Me and reimihara21 changed some grammatical errors in the story.
I took anon of 4chan's advise on placing a flashback on what happened to Kyon's Mother and his sister. Thank you,
anon of 4chan for giving me that great idea!
All characters of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya are properties of Nagaru Tanigawa.
Kei Kusanagi is from "Please Teacher!"
Ryu and Nicole are my original characters.
Here is a one-paragraph preview of the second chapter.
(Damn, my younger sister is such a pain.)
Chapter Two "A week before school"
Part One "Hello again, Haruhi"
Two days later, at the Toronto Pearson International Airport, I was at the flight listings when I saw this flight "Air Canada flight 2690 from Narita, Japan just arrived." I told to myself then someone grabbed my collar, pulling me down, "Hiya, Kyon." Haruhi smiled at me
"Kyon!!" Ms. Asahina ran and hugged me, man I really missed her voice.
"Hi, Kyon." Itsuki smiled at me.
And there is Yuki Nagato, in her usual silent mode.
Okay!! Enough preview so... (Is the paragraph short?):
