The Melancholy Of Kyonko (Kyoko) Izumi

LAST Chapter!

By: Ichi Okazaki

LAST CHAPTER: ...okay, this is now Koizumi's real Melancholy...what's going to happen?...(NOTE: THE REAL TITLE: The Mysterious Letters Of Disappearance

It had been a few months since Kyoko Izumi, my eccentric, FMP otaku cousin left for Kyoto.

Who knew how she was doing? She never told us her home address, and neither did she send any letters. I wonder if she were, and if Koizumi was keeping them for himself?

And speaking of Koizumi, what happened to him?

Koizumi didn't even show the slightest sign of depression. Everyday he still went by bringing board games and forcing me to play with him. Since Kyoko was gone, I guess he just needed company from a fellow man pretty badly. But still...I knew deep down inside that Koizumi was actually hurting...I just didn't want to confront him about it.

One day, after classes had ended, I was about to proceed to the SOS brigade room when someone pulled on me by the collar- hard. Guess who?

"Kyon! We need to talk." Of course, it was Haruhi. I was half-expecting Kyoko to pop out of nowhere, crying, "Get your hands of my cousin, Suzumiya!" But of course, she wasn't there anymore...and probably never will be.

"What is it, Chief?" I asked half-heartedly. I definitely was going to be asked to do something stupid again...

"Nothing really...except...oh, just read this!" Haruhi replied, thrusting a piece of notebook paper on my face.

It really wasn't just ordinary note paper. It was in some handwriting I didn't recognize. In large, clear and bold letters written with a black marker, the note simply said:

"GOODBYE."

It definitely was confusing. "Haruhi. How and where'd you find this?" I asked.

"Oh, I was dumping stuff in my locker, as always. Then under my geometry book, I found this. Whoever wrote that must be someone we know..." Haruhi wondered, and I also did the same. Then after a few seconds, we both came to a conclusion.

"Koizumi!"

Haruhi and I ran like the wind, trying to find out where Koizumi had went. Asahina's tea for today would have to get cold. Nagato wouldn't even care...

First stop was Koizumi's house. Haruhi found the gate wide open, and so we went right in. The front door was also wide open. This was strange. The house, once full of things, was now completely empty. Or maybe not, for there were pieces of paper left on the floor. Haruhi picked one up and began to read the contents out loud. It was another letter from Koizumi. This is what it said:

TO: ALL SOS BRIGADE MEMBERS

FROM: ITSUKI KOIZUMI

SUBJECT: "I WILL QUIT THE SOS BRIGADE"

YOU ALL MIGHT BE SURPRISED AT HOW QUICKLY I HAD DISAPPEARED, BECAUSE IF ANY OF YOU MIGHT BE READING THIS IT MEANS THAT I HAVE ALREADY WENT AWAY FROM THIS TOWN AND SHALL NEVER COME BACK,EVER AGAIN. THIS TOWN HELD A LOT OF UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES AND SOME PAINFUL, HEART-WRENCHING ONES. KYOKO IZUMI IS THE MAIN REASON. SHE HAD TOLD ME HERSELF THAT NEVER IN HER LIFE WILL SHE COME BY HERE AND SO I HAD LEFT AND NOW I PLAN TO GO TO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES IN ORDER TO MEET HER AGAIN. ABOUT MY WORLDLY POSSESSIONS, I HAD STACKED THEM ALL IN THE STORAGE ROOM, SO DO WHATEVER YOU PLEASE WITH THEM.I HAVE NO NEED FOR THEM ANY LONGER.

YOU COULD SAY I AM A FOOL, FORSAKING MY POSSESSIONS AND LIFE FOR THE ONE I LOVE. UNFORTUNATELY, NO ONE COULD CHANGE MY MIND NOW. I AM DETERMINED TO FIND HER, EVEN IF SHE TELLS ME THAT SHE ISN'T IN KYOTO ALL THE TIME. I AM READY TO DO ANYTHING FOR HER. AS FOR SUZUMIYA-SAN, I SHALL BE QUITTING THE SOS BRIGADE WITHOUT ANY REGRETS. IN MY HOUSE YOU'LL FIND THE ARMBAND YOU YOURSELF GAVE ME SO LONG AGO. YOU COULD HAVE IT BACK, FOR I WON'T BE YOUR SECOND DEPUTY CHIEF ANY LONGER. TO ASAHINA-SAN: PLEASE STAY THE SAME. NAGATO-SAN, I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK IN YOUR GOAL. KYON, YOU HAVE NEVER REVEALED YOUR TRUE NAME. PERHAPS WE COULD JOIN EACH OTHER AGAIN IF WE MEET. YOU ALL WILL ALWAYS BE MY FIRST AND BEST FRIENDS...PROBABLY THE ONLY ONES. ANOTHER THING, KYON: ALWAYS STAY STRONG... AND KEEP SUZUMIYA-SAN COMPANY.

ABOUT TIME I ENDED THIS LONG , EVERYONE, AND I WISH THE SOS BRIGADE GOOD LUCK.

ITSUKI KOIZUMI

I could hardly believe what I heard. Haruhi had her head bowed down the whole time.

"Kyon. What actually happened?"

I didn't know how to answer that question. No matter where you were, Koizumi...we wish you luck, too.

I saw the tears filling Haruhi's eyes, and she held me close as she cried of frustration. So Haruhi could cry too...

Koizumi, actually...why didn't you tell us where you were going?

This. Is. The. End.

Well? Did you have a "meltdown" from Kyoko (Kyonko) and Itsuki Koizumi's marshmallow romance which was too GOOD to be true?

Haha, I'll bet not.

Anyway...as I said in the first chapter...this is my first Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu fic...and probably the last. But who knows? I might be able to write another...

I'm actually one of the tons and tons of VOCALOID fanatics out there right now. I am focusing more on writing my first fic for that...

...I wonder who among my so-called fans can I relate to in this fandom...? (I used to think VOCALOID was a bunch of nonsense. Now that I am a fan, however, I'd like to shoot anyone who says that 'bout it. It's totally unique and is MORE addicting than any other anime or manga out there. (But that does NOT mean I have given all those up for VOCALOID!)

Oops, I'm rambling. Sorry to go on and on about this newest obsession of mine...

Please review! Any kind of review, negative or positive, or any side comments or suggestions would be acceptable.

P.S. I would also want you all to check out any VOCALOID music video, MMD, AMV's, Talk-loids, and etc. out there. You're free to decide on who to love among the wide variety of choices. Do you go for low-pitched, high-pitched, in-between, girly or boyish voices? VOCALOID's most probably got something to fullfill your desired vocals. I ain't forcing you, I repeat, I AM NOT FORCING YOU! Just please go try...

P.P.S. I LOVE the KAGAMINE twins, Kaito, Meiko, and the two Kasane UTAUs turned VOCALOIDS. Just a suggestion~
