Letters Across the Distance

((Disclaimer: Still don't own, so you can't sue.))
Cece: Hi! This is the sequel you've been dying to read.
Yusuke: Hey! Where am I in this?
Cece: Uh, you're not in every chapter, moron.
Kurama: These are just some letters that they write to each other.
Cece: When they agreed to write, they write.
Kori: Well, R&R.

Dear Kurama,
Hey, I'm back home again. Nothing much to write about here. God, I wish I were back there with you guys. I hope nothing happened with any of the guys. You know Yusuke's mouth. Did Kuwabara ask Yukina out yet? Bet not! He doesn't have the guts to do it with Hiei watching right in front of his face! I miss you so much; it's just not the same in Orlando without you. School here isn't very fun; the only break I get is in Study Hall, and that's if I don't have any homework from last night. How are things where you are? Tell Minamino-san I said "Hi!" Please write back.
Sincerely, Andrea

Dear Andrea,
I am relieved that you arrived home safely. Everything's the same here; just minor missions that Koenma sends us on. It doesn't take much to deal with them. Mother is doing wonderful; she said for me to tell you "Hello" and she hopes that everything is all right with you. We just currently rescued Yusuke from a supposed kidnapping. Funny how human teenagers kidnapped him. No worries, we got out with no one harmed. It would appear that you are in quite a pickle if the only break you have is Study Hall. To answer your question about Kuwabara, no, he hasn't asked Yukina-san out yet. And I fear of what would happen if Hiei knew about it. Yusuke is currently in trouble with Keiko for missing some homework assignments from school, and is yet again in trouble with his schools principal. Safe to say, we all miss you. Yukina and Botan like to ask about how you're faring, and I tell them you're doing well, for you are. I don't like to lie to them. Well, I must retire for now; I promise to return your letter again.
Sincerely, Kurama

Dear Kurama,
Happy Halloween! Well, in America, it's Halloween. Guess what I'm wearing while writing this? If you guessed a kitty outfit, you're right! It looks sort like your Youko side, only with black ears and tail. They say, "A picture's worth a thousand words," so I'm giving you a picture of me in my costume. Don't laugh, okay? I can't help it if the tailor got my measurements wrong, and I can't get a refund or a resize. All I needed was a whip so I could go as Catwoman, but my "parents" didn't like that idea. But I still looked cool just the same! Meow! So, how's everything where you are? Is everyone okay? Hope so, but I hope Yusuke got a whack or two on the head. Make him see his feelings for Keiko if you know what I mean. Well, it's about 7:00 PM and there's a Halloween party I'm going to. Give your mother my Hellos, okay? Hope to hear from you.
Sincerely, Andrea

Dear Andrea,
I thought the costume looked nice on you. Although when Yusuke saw the picture, Keiko ended up slapping him. I'm sending you a picture of my costume. Amazingly we had almost the same idea, except I went as a red fox. See the nice fluffy tail? Due to the length of my hair, everyone thought that I had really long hair. I am also sending pictures of everyone else's costume. Unfortunately, Hiei didn't wear one, but that didn't stop the children from thinking he was gothic or something. My letters will be fewer now due to a new mission Koenma is sending us on. No worries about bodily harm, it will be few. I promise I will write you back when I can.
Sincerely, Kurama

Dear Kurama,
I hope you and the rest of the team will be careful. I feel bad that you don't tell me what this mission is about, but I guess you don't want me to worry. It's okay, you know. I don't mind not knowing. I expect I'll get a full account on what happened afterward. Just don't kill yourself okay? Oh, look at me. I'm starting to sound like an overprotective parent, aren't I? It's just that I worry about you when you're on these missions without me by your side. How do I know that you won't get hurt when there's no one around to help you? How can I be sure that I'll see you again? Just remember to wear that pendant I gave you before I left. I have yours on. I hardly take it off, except for when I take a bath! Don't want to lose it down the drain. Well, there's a Christmas party I have to go to, so I got to go.
Sincerely, Andrea

Dear Andrea,
Happy belated Valentine's Day! I'm sorry I can't tell you about the mission I'm on. Koenma wouldn't want word to get out on Ningenkai on what we're doing at the moment. It's flattering that you're still wearing your pendant. I still have the one you gave me on. In a way, it's like having you beside me. I keep it under my shirt, of course, because naturally Yusuke might think something adult-oriented. Currently, I'm getting ready for bed, so I have to let you go.
Sincerely, Kurama

Dear Kurama,
I'm sorry I hadn't written you back sooner. I was studying for my SATs, and I want to get a high score. My parents want me to go to a really great school, but it won't be the same without you. Tell Yusuke I said he's a moron for me, okay? I'm sorry the letter's so short, but I have to study.
Sincerely, Andrea

Dear Andrea,
There are so many things I want to tell you in this letter. First of all, congratulations on your graduation coming up. My graduation's coming up as well. You once asked me about what future holds for us. A wise person once said to, if I remember correctly, "Take life by the horns." Perhaps it was "Grab the bull by the horns." I can never remember that saying. Anyway, I hope you do wonderful on your SATs. I will be happy for you regardless of your score.
Sincerely, Kurama
Cece: Well, that's my first chappie!
Kurama: Um, Cece, technically, it's a prologue.
Kori: Anyway, R&R. The next chapter will be up in a while.
Cece: So, stay tuned!
