Matchmaker's War
Forward This Confession
You wanted to know why I beat you up, I'll try to explain. I turn red just thinking about it. It starts with those first seconds of awkward silence before I resort to violence. For those few seconds, a lot goes through my mind and one thought keeps resurfacing. /Let him./ It sounds horrible I know, but every time you have seen me or grabbed me in some inappropriate way, a part of me I think I received from Kitsune wants to encourage you to do it again and again. I feel like encouraging you to touch me and watch me in any fashion you wish. I feel utterly helpless to stop these thoughts and I tried to deny them, only to end up forcing my thoughts onto you. What kind of slut does he take me for? I would ask him.
You really upset me sometimes. Even when you lose, you seem to win. I could never do that. I must have everything go my way. Naru's way or the highway. It seems no matter what the other girls do to you, you never lose your ability to dream ... and fantasize no doubt. Do I imagine things, but do I sometimes hear you mumbling my name in your sleep? Sometimes, I wonder if you even need my help getting into Toudai. You seem capable of doing anything you put your heart and soul into. You get depressed easily and that affects your work, I understand that, I've gone down that path before. But I recommend a psychologist for that, not a tutor. Look at me. I studied until it hurt and still I failed that test. Well, I didn't know how I felt about you from the moment I saw you, but I realized that I had felt love. You act like an idiot sometimes, but I truly love you and I hoped someday you feel the same way too, Keitaro. But if you don't love me, if you don't feel that way about me, do me a favor. Burn this letter. Destroy it, do what you must to forget you ever saw this letter.
[Different handwriting]
Kitsune made me read this letter. I didn't want to, but she insisted. I can't believe what I read. I accused Kitsune of fabrication, but I recognized the handwriting from that time I accidentally read your diary. Kitsune could have still forged your handwriting, but everyone has to take a leap of faith every once and a while, right? No better time than the present. Naru, I can't honestly believe you worry about whether I love you or not? I might panic and tell you otherwise, but I lied. I truly do love you. But not the comfortable love that someone can wait their full lives for, it feels like a burning passion I can't control or understand. I did not want to tell anyone until I understood it. That day of enlightenment seems far off now and guess I have nothing to lose just telling you everything I feel. Where should I begin?
[Different handwriting]
Yikes, Keitaro almost got carried away back there, but I think you get the general idea Naru and if you don't, I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. You see Naru, I went to your teen idol web-site yesterday and found a large fan-base for Naru-related material. I plan to scan a copy of this letter and forward it to a dozen of them and they plan to send it even further into the 'Net. I might even hand over a copy to the local newspaper. Heck, I might even make the front page. Underhanded, you say? Perhaps, but watching you two bicker your lives away has eaten away at my last nerve. Get over it already! As for me, do what you have to punish me for my crime, but just do what you have to in order to get together and stay together.
Signed, your friendly neighborhood matchmaker,
Kitsune.
