Mystery woman: Say it!
Me: Never! *slapped in the face*
M.W: Say it or else...
Me: Or else what?
M.W: Or else... I will burn all your books! *laughs manically*
Me: NOOOOOO! *tries to grab books*
M.W: *chuckles* na-uh! Say that you do not own Bleach and your books will be saved!
Me: *groans, sniffs back tears* I... do not... *hiccup*... own Ble-ung.
M.W: *hands over books* I suppose that was good enough *I scream with joy and hug books* *MW walks away*
Before you I was lost of all feeling. Okay, that's what I wanted everyone to believe; even myself. I became a pro at hiding my emotions; not letting on what I felt on my face or body.
I knew what I was doing was wrong; everyone that loved and cared about me, I pushed away, because I was in self-destruct mode. I didn't want to feel. I don't know how anyone put up with me; I'm surprised they had never left me.
Then I met you.
You came along, and I felt a weird sensation. You're deep grey eyes, being the window to your soul, I could see what you felt, feel what you felt, see what you've seen, and be where you've been (1).
I couldn't believe that an oaf like you had made my logic falter. You, who was so different from me, made these unwanted emotions bubble to the surface.
You weren't an oaf. You were my captain, and a great leader.
I was your cold third seat, and to hide my feelings, I cut our conversations short, and only spoke to you to receive orders.
I was… scared. Frightened. Nervous. Anxious. Not having felt anything for years on end, I was feeling every emotion full force. I didn't know how to act on my feelings. I didn't even know what those feelings were. I didn't know if you felt the same way.
But then, after a stern talking to from Yoruichi, I finally, finally, told you how I felt.
I was in love.
You have no idea the emotions that went through my system when you admitted you felt the same way. Happiness. Joy. Ecstatic. Thrilled. Blissful.
Oh, Kisuke Urahara, you with your deep grey eyes, and shaggy blonde hair, made me feel again. More than I could ever imagine.
I love you; my shaggy fool.
This is a short story on Ai's thoughts when she first met Kisuke! I'll be doing another linked to Melting a Frozen Heart too, on her thoughts of Konari, and then Yumichika ;P
Review please :)
