Hey guys! Thanks so much for reading the prologue of 'The Melancholy of Kagome Higurashi'. I really appreciate it.


The Melancholy of Kagome Higurashi
Chapter One: The Beginning
"You said what?!" Kagome exclaimed, pounding her hand on the kitchen table. "Changing schools?"

"Kagome's mad!" Sota said jokingly. Kagome shot him a glare, and the young boy ran out of the kitchen.

"It's the best for now," Kagome's mom said, trying to calm the black-haired teenager down. "You already missed too much school as it is. The schools in Okinawa are starting a new semester; you can start anew..."

"Okinawa? You mean that I have to go all the way to Okinawa to go to this new school?"

Kagome's mom nodded.

Kagome growled softly; she looked away and closed her eyes painfully. "I really don't want to leave," she said, finally, her voice low. "I have so much friends here, and I can't make new friends just like that..."

"Kagome, it's gonna be okay," her mom said gently. "We already made arrangements. You'll be sharing an apartment with-"

"Sharing an apartment? You really did all of this without asking me, didn't you?"

"I'm sorry Kagome- like I said, it's for the best..."

"Screw the 'best'!" Kagome snapped, storming out the kitchen and into her bedroom. She threw herself on her bed, sobbing into her pillow, and continuously punching the wall. "Why? Why all this? And so sudden too... I just came back from the Feudal Era..."

Wait! The Feudal Era- Inuyasha... Kagome thought. She couldn't go through the well in Okinawa! All because of this new school crap...

"Kagome?"

"H-huh?" Kagome said, lifting her head from her pillow. Her grandpa was in her doorway, holding a paper in his hands.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Kagome quickly wiped her tears. "What's that?"

"Your mom wanted me to give this to you," Grandpa said, handing her the paper. Kagome quickly read it. It was an address in Okinawa- possibly her new roommate's apartment.

"Thanks, grandpa," Kagome said. "I guess that it'll be okay... Okinawa's pretty, isn't it?"

Grandpa nodded. "It's beautiful." Kagome smiled brightly and nodded. "I'll pack my stuff- let me guess, I'm leaving tomorrow..."

"Uh, well, you guessed it..."


"What's the point of this, anyway?" Kagome yelled, staring at Haruhi. "First stealing my diary, then bringing me here... what is this!?"

"This is..." Haruhi began, with a grin,

"... the SOS Brigade."

"You told me that you were going to give me a tour of this damn school!" Kagome screamed.

"You should try not believe everyone," Haruhi said, as if Kagome was really listening to her advice. Actually, Kagome was fuming, clutching her diary in a heavy fist; ready to swing at Haruhi.

"Kyon!" Kagome exclaimed, looking at him. "Can you tell me what the hell this is?"

Kyon chuckled. "Well, the SOS Brigade is-"

"A group dedicated to find aliens, espers, time travelers!" Haruhi cut in. "And you're our new member!"

"Hell no!" Kagome exclaimed. "Aliens? Espers? Time travelers? They don't even exist!"

Haruhi quickly frowned. "How do you know that they don't exist!" she snapped.

"Okay, okay, break it up," Itsuki said, getting between Haruhi and Kagome and extending his arms. "Kagome, we need to talk," he whispered to her. Kagome flinched a bit, but then nodded.

"Well, then, Haruhi, how about you get started on the new flyers for the Brigade?" Kyon asked. Haruhi, still frowning, headed over to the computer. Itsuki leaded Kagome outside the classroom, and then closed the door.

"Do you know why you're here?" Itsuki asked.

"Because I transfered?" Kagome replied smartly. Itsuki shook his head.

"No. You see, Haruhi is-"

"What are those two doing?!" Haruhi yelled.

"Okay... I'll try to shorten the story," Itsuki said, sighing. "Haruhi has the power to make a reality- as she pleases. As others might say, Haruhi is the equivalent of... God."

"God? What the-" Kagome began. "What do you mean, 'she has the power to make a reality'?"

"If she feels dissatisfied with the reality now, she would change it unconsciously; basically, she could destroy the world if she gets too bored of it. She can also change certain people... all the adventures that you had- Haruhi's the cause. This is all that I can tell you for now- I know, you think I'm crazy, but all will be explained. Join the Brigade, okay?"

All the adventures that you had- Haruhi's the cause? Adventures? Does he mean... Kagome thought. She watched as Itsuki began walking into the clubroom. She followed him, Haruhi immediately gave her a stare at she entered.

"What was that for?" Haruhi exclaimed. She looked at Kagome. "Huh?"

"Oh, nothing," Kagome said. She looked at Itsuki. "Uh... I'll join the Brigade, I guess-"

"Perfect!" Haruhi yelled. "Ugh, I have to get home- someone should be waiting for me. Dismissed!" Everyone got up and walked out the clubroom.

"I want answers," Kagome whispered to Itsuki. He nodded.

"I'll meet you tonight, outside your roommate's place," he said.

What the hell- how does he know this? Kagome thought. Itsuki smiled.

"Oh, and Haruhi! Do you know where this is?" Kagome asked, handing Haruhi the paper with Kagome's roommate's address. "It's my roommate's apartment."

"This is? So you're the one! Just follow me, new roommate!"


I finally decided the crossover pairings. Yes, the Inuyasha characters are in this story, but this is not an alternate universe! You will find out soon...

The Next Chapter: It's An Adventure, Right? Okay, Maybe Not...

Kagome finds out what Haruhi is. Itsuki finds a new interest. Friends from years ago are seen again. The true melancholy begins, and Yuki has found someone to relate to...
