Unrequited Love
--
Ryuu sighed, for the umpteenth time in the day's course. She's not the type to worry unduly, but this time it's not going away. And she's not the unconfident type either, although these days that seemed to be the perfect description for her character. Urahara is plaguing her mind that the moment. There's a tarot site she often visited because it always showed the truth about her future. The cards always should favor to her, but recently, there seemed be a negative turn in her life. It should that her love will always be unrequited. It's worrying her to no end because she was contemplating on telling Urahara about what she felt for him, but this turn of events is giving her a lot of doubts
. Dropping off her paperwork, Ryuu flash-stepped into her room when she found a letter on the desk addressed to her. Her eyes grew wider and wider as she scan the letter. It reads:
Hello, Ryuu!
This is Urahara writing from his beloved shop in the human world, although you probably knew that by looking at the hand writing. Anyway, back to the subject at hand. I have an urgent question, so I want to enlist your advice.
I…like someone. Gulp. A lot. She's intelligent, witty, and wise. A very mischievous person by nature too. I dare say you know the person too. She's almost my height, just shying one inch. She has short, brown hair and is friends with Yoruichi. Yoruichi even admitted that the only person who can match her in speed is her. Her best friends are Tsuki and Tori, and she is currently helping with the mission of killing all the arrancars in Huec Mundo. I could go on about more details, but I would just bore you. After all, you should know perfectly well who I am talking about by now. When she read to this part, her hand was shaking.
I love you, Ryuu.
Kisuke Urahara.
Ryuu was almost overwhelmed by the emotions she's feeling. The reading was completely wrong! She wanted to sing to the world about her happiness, but couldn't since two of her friends are currently suffering from post-traumatic experiences. However, someone knocked on her door just as she was about to go outside.
"Matsumoto!" Ryuu opened the door with a huge smile on her face.
"Woah! The brightness is blinding me!" Matsumoto mock cried at the sight of the smile. Flapping her hand, she continued. "Forget it. What's the good news?"
"I'll tell you later over sake." Ryuu grinned, toning it down for a bit. "Anyway, what are you here for?"
"Oh yeah. I almost forgot because of the blinding nature of your smile!" That remark earned her a punch on the arm. "Ouch! You didn't need to hit that hard! Anyway, the news I was suppose to tell you before - okay I'll stop the 'blindness' jokes! The news, so the news was that Yoruichi and Kisuke are going to be married a week from Thursday, and they're inviting everyone who wants to go from Soul Society. Thought you would like to know before the mass exodus."
Matsumoto was slightly worried by the weird look in her eyes. "Hey! What's with the blank eyes?"
"That's impossible!" Ryuu cried out, backing away from her friend.
"What's impossible?" The blonde-hair woman asked, slightly confused.
"If what you said is true, how can you explain this letter then?" Ryuu waved the paper around, agitated.
"Well, I don't know what is in that letter of yours. But I know Tsuki's the one who put it in your room." Matsumoto sighed. "So - "
Ryuu rushed out of her house before Matsumoto could say another word. She quickly reached Tsuki's place but found no one's there. When she was about to step off the porch, a loose board sprang up, slapping a letter to her forehead. Finding that it was addressed to her, she quickly ripped it open. On the paper were inscribed these words:
Hey Ryuu-san!
If I know you as I think I do, you will be by the time you finished the letter. Unfortunately, I am required to go on an urgent trip at the moment. So I am immensely sorry at not being able to see you.
Sincerely,
Tsuki
P.S.: Look in the back.
Ryuu flipped it over.
"Happy April's Fool Day, Ryuu-san!! I hope Tori-san gets to see the result of my scheme and describe it to me one day. Oh yeah! It's not really Urahara who wrote the letter. He would totally ruin his image by doing that. Also, my trip wasn't all that urgent. I just thought that if I don't get away for a while, I mightin mortal danger.
Ja ne
Ryuu stared for a minute at the note before tearing it up. "I AM SO GOING TO MURDER THAT BAKA ONNA!!"
To vent steam, she ran around town, knocking several people off of their feet from her speed. Finally, Soifon caught up with her and knocked her out.
