It has been four weeks since her stay in America. Sakuno had gotten her stuff that have been shifted by her grandmother last week. She was surprised to see many letters sent towards her along with her stuff. Aira had been a great help. She had helped Sakuno unpacked her stuff into her room. Mostly everything was put into place us like her old bedroom. She was glad that her grandmother hadn't send her bed with her stuff, but she was happy that her grandmother had send her the stuff that she'll need. Almost everything was unpack, just only two boxes left.
Aira had gone to work after organizing Sakuno's closet. Sakuno went over the only box left. She carefully opened it and their were some glass frames. They're picture frames of her beloved friends and relatives. She set each one of them carefully on top of her desk and shelf. She put two of the pictures beside her bed on top of her drawer. Those pictures were the ones that she loved the most. One of them contain her parents and her grandmother smiling at the camera. She was in between her parents having the widest smile. The other contain Tomoka, the trios, and the Seigaku regulars, all of them were doing all sorts of weird poses except for the captain of course. After placing the last picture on her self she went towards the box to recycle it, but stop once she saw an envelop inside of it. To her surprise it was Ryoma's. Getting rid of her surprise, she recycle the box along with the others. Gathering the letters she went towards the living room to read each one of them. She firstly read her grandmother:
Dear Sakuno,
I arrive in Tokyo safely, so you don't have to worry about me. Focus on your study over there and have a great time. I didn't tell any of them what you're doing over there, but if you want to tell them, this time you have to tell them yourself. You can depend on others too if you have any kind of problem. Be safe and remember to write to me. If not call me.
Sincerely,
Your Grandmother
Next, she pull out Tomoka's letter and started reading it:
Dear Sakuno,
I'm pretty much upset that you didn't tell me that you're moving over there and not coming back! So for your punishment you have call me every night and tell me what you been up to. I mean why did you suddenly decide to stay over there. You have to give me every detail.
Your one and only friend,
Tomoka Osakada
Sakuno chuckle after she finished reading Tomoka's letter. She promise to write to Tomoka later to explain things to her. There was also a card inside her envelop too, but decided to read it after she read all the other letters.
Ne, Ochibiko!
Good luck over there. Remember to call us and never forget us! Don't be like Ochibi and ignore us! Nya!
-Kikumaru Eiji
Oi, Ryuzaki-chan,
Don't you miss us? Why did you suddenly leave. Echizen is going to go crazy on us. Without you here, the cheer leading squad is nothing. We need two or more not only one.
-Momoshiro Takeshi
Dear Ryuzaki-chan,
Over in America is going to be hard, please try your best and adjust to the living conditions over there and ever give up. If you're hurt or if you get injured in any kind of way, please don't hesitate to give me a call and I'll send you all the supplies you need for your injures. Remember to take care of yourself and don't go outside late at night.
-Oishi Shuichiro
Dear Ryuzaki-san,
Stay well and come back so one day you'll have my sushi again. BURNING! YOU GOTTA COME BACK ONE DAY. IF NOT I'LL COME OVER THERE AND DRAGGED YOU BACK HOME!
-Kawamura Takashi
Sakuno sweat dropped as she finished Kawamura's letter.
Dear Sa-chan,
I hope you're doing fine over there. You don't have to worry about us here, we're going to be fine as usual. I do wish we all would be again.
-Shusuke Fuji
Ryuzaki Sakuno,
My data that I have collected of you will be the treasure of the Seigaku team. I'm 78% sure that once you come back you'll change and 22% sure that you'll still be the same. Before I forget, if you want some of my vegetable juice don't hesitate to tell me.
-Sadaharu Inui
P.S. Don't worry I'll give you information on how the team is doing along with your friends.
Dear Ryuzaki Sakuno,
Don't let your guard down in America. There will be some hardships to face along the way, but don't ever give up. Keep going until you reach your goal.
-Kunimitsu Tezuka.
Sakuno smiled as she read each one of them. There was only letter left. She wondered why Ryoma's letter wasn't with the others. She guested that it might be because he doesn't want anyone to see. Sakuno chuckled at the thought of it.
Mada mada da ne, Ryuzaki.
Sakuno frowned as she read the first sentence, but continued.
You left without any good-bye, but I guess it's for the best. Over in America you can learn English and don't have to suck in it again. Improve your tennis and chop off that braid of yours it's too , promise me that once we meet again, you'll still be the same Ryuzaki that we all know.
-Echizen Ryoma.
Sakuno's frowned turned into a smile. Tears starts to stream down her eyes. She hugged all the letters that is sent to her. She then looked at the card. The card looked lovely, on the cover there was a picture of them all together smiling towards the camera. There was a caption on the bottom and it says: Good luck Sakuno! Sakuno opened the card and she was surprise to see many signatures and mini small words of encouragements all over the place, but the words that seem to surprised her to most was the words on the right side. It was in huge front and in English. Sakuno frowned. She doesn't know what it says. Maybe she'll ask Aira to help her, but thought that she might be tired from work. Instead she decided that once she learn English she'll go back to the card and read the beautiful front.
