From the Higurashi family, there shall only be used the name of the patient, Higurashi Kagome, for the safety and integrity of the study.
I, psychologist doctor Jezebel Marie, declare:
Higurashi Kagome, born on the 13th of January 1990 in Japan, is the first daughter of the Higurashi Family, a family renowned for its protégé of the shrine named after it. Thus, continuing the traditions, Higurashi Kagome was born with Miko powers to protect the shrine and all its historical importance; but, as I see it, she will not stand up to her duty.
I admit that I, for the sake of work, have documented myself over this family, and I can say problems appeared in the Higurashi house once the only son met his future bride and Higurashi Kagome's future mother, in high school.
I shall look upon the background of Higurashi Kagome's mother also, as it is important for the child's growth, in more ways than one can imagine; as it was in this case. A well brought-up child (as relatives, friends and neighbors say), Higurashi Kagome's mother attended Tama High School in the near-by city, from where she was born, and where she met her future husband. Though before meeting him around the end of her senior year and 'eloping' with him later in her second year of university (a special note for 'eloping'- family and friends actually agreed, the reason why they still had to run away will be explained in moments), Kagome Higurashi's mother had been in a three-year relationship with old childhood friend Kagebato Hayashi.
The relationship with Kagebato Hayashi went on during the first year of university (Shikon University, also in the city near-by), but friends say it was going from bad to worse, and all because of 'a strange attraction between her and the gentleman kid', as one sempai (senior) for the university in their time put it. 'Those two had something special about them,' the same sempai continues about Kagome Higurashi's parents, 'it was like there were always flowers around them, as they were both very beautiful, and when they were in the same room the atmosphere just warmed up. Not to mention the dreamy gaze each one of them had when they looked at the other one, or how they seemed royal-like when at the Christmas Ball in their first year they danced the midnight waltz together so gracefully and lovingly, just like a couple in love. I wonder what was going on behind closed doors with her boyfriend, that Hayashi, as he was rather possessive and jealous when it came it her, though it was clear for everyone that their sparkle had ended long ago, and everybody rooted for her and that Higurashi kid. We all thought, in fact, that it was more of a pride thing for Hayashi, as who wouldn't be amazed when you were dating one of the most beautiful and smart girls in the whole university?'
Finally, Kagebato Hayashi, an impulsive being by nature, who was said to be yelling and threatening with beating his girlfriend, blew up at the start of the second year when rumors about Kagome Higurashi's parents appeared, according to which she had lost her virginity with Mr. Higurashi, and was planning to break up with Kagebato Hayashi to pursue a relationship with her future husband. The incident was widely talked-about, as (this is from what witnesses say) in a moment of fury Kagebato Hayashi entered one of her classes and forcefully grabbed her, dragging her out of the school grounds and in a near-by hotel, where (here rumors make their way) he supposedly tried to rape her. It is not known if he succeeded or not, as her future husband alerted the university authorities and a fight ensued in the lobby of the hotel, with Higurashi Kagome's mother crying and screaming while being barely clothed, and Kagebato Hayashi being furious and hitting everything and everyone in his way.
The future Mrs. Higurashi didn't come to school for a week, and six months away from when she returned she ran away (to escape Kagebato Hayashi's constant harassment; witnesses say he would make her every day a 'living hell') with her then-boyfriend, meaning Mr. Higurashi. She had learned, after the 'hotel incident', as the university authorities put it, that she was bearing a child which everybody said, including themselves, that it was Mr. Higurashi's; and so, the future Mrs. Higurashi eloped, leaving her studies unfinished.
She moved in with him and his father (as his mother had died three years previously) and after a month, married him. On the 13th of January 1990 their only daughter is born, and because of her being the first child, she is granted Miko powers, as stated above. Things went perfect the next two years, almost 'wickedly and wrongfully perfect', as neighbor declared, until one day the family started to receive threatening letters; fearing the safety of their daughter, the parents decide to go see the police, but just when they were about to leave the house, Kagebato Hayashi appeared and started inquiring if Higurashi Kagome wasn't in fact his child. Finally, the police was really called, as Kagebato Hayashi started threatening and throwing with what he found in his way; it was then when little Higurashi Kagome gained a scar at the base of her neck, in the back, from a vase thrown by Kagebato Hayashi. He got six months of community service for his acts.
After this, everything calmed down, but there were still strange things happening; both Mr. and Mrs. Higurashi lost at least five jobs and there were reported random break-ins in the shrine. Luck glanced at them when, after seven years of marriage, the two had their second child, a boy.
But that luck didn't last long, as three years after Mr. Higurashi, while being on a business trip in the south of Japan, died in a brutal car accident that killed other five too. Neighbors say that after a strange week and a half when they didn't hear anything coming from the Higurashi house, the family started to act like they always would, like nothing happened; 'Of course they wore only clothes that suited the moment, and of course there were no parties, or no friends over or stuff like that, but the kids still laughed like they did before and the mother still ran around them all day long, when she was home actually, to keep them in place. The grandfather was seemingly the only one a little bit more grumpy than usual, but even he did his normal activities, meaning taking care of the shrine. Though immediately after that Mrs. Higurashi started leaving earlier and coming later, because she got a second job, and little Kagome-chan would take care more of her brother. I still remember how the two would sit outside and look hours and hours at pictures with their father and laugh out loud, remembering every moment and every little detail of the photo,' neighbor Kashina-san said.
Bad luck continued to haunt the family, but not Mrs. Higurashi anymore; during the next seven years, her daughter Higurashi Kagome broke her left arm twice in some suspicious circumstances, while her son injured badly his leg once when, at the zoo, somebody not identified by the police let the wolves go, thus attacking the boy. He also has a Harry Potter-esque scar on his forehead, just under where the hair starts (so it is usually hidden) due to somebody -- again unidentified -- pushing him down when he was in a school trip.
All these incredible events culminated with the sudden reappearance of Kagebato Hayashi, somewhere at the start of the summer of 2007; he demanded that Mrs. Higurashi marry him, as she was alone and needed help raising two children, even if their grandfather was there. But when, pressured, the mother accepted half-heartedly to let him live with them, things got worse and he started hitting the children; this all finished in one fateful night when a fight between him and Higurashi Kagome ensued -- the first inch of rebelling at her mother's decision the girl made -- and when he started hitting her with his hands and feet and everything in his way, she showed her true colors: furious, she started yelling and hitting him back. But everything went even worse when Mrs. Higurashi finally got home, and instead of protecting her child, she started yelling at both of them and even slapped her daughter, hard enough to leave a mark.
That's when something in Higurashi Kagome snapped and, maddeningly angry, she yelled at her mother and then pushed -- using her powers -- Kagebato Hayashi through a window, breaking it and running through it outside in a raging storm.
The police came and arrested Kagebato Hayashi, and seventeen days later he confessed that he was the one that broke-in in the Higurashi shrine frequently, that he was the one who let the wolves loose, who pushed Higurashi Kagome's brother, who injured the girl so many times and that he was the one that purposely caused the car accident, thus being the one who killed Higurashi Kagome's father. He received fifty years of prison for his acts.
But this did not make Higurashi Kagome return to her home, and at the start of her second year of high-school, meaning September 2007, she, an 'always happy and calm girl who was like the best friend of everybody' (as stated by one of her classmates), appeared in a new, changed way, causing much trouble to the school with her sudden rebellious and gangster attitude, even though she proved to be able to have very good grades; she caused the school losses estimated to about 5000 dollars and many other students complain of her rude way of being.
My detailed conclusions about her new state are in another study, but I will not refrain from saying the truth right here: Higurashi Kagome is an unlucky child, raised in an environment not appropriated for her; thus, she turned out as a delinquent with no limits who thinks the world is her for the keeping and is not afraid to use lying and hypocrisy to get what she desires. In my opinion, she is a current danger for the society, and must receive specialized help, as I could not do anything for her.
This is what I, psychologist doctor Jezebel Marie, have declared.
A Happy Easter to everyone celebrating it today!
