Disclaimers on everything that I don't own.
Letters,
By Winterwing3000
Dear Aoshi-sama!
Elementary school is fun, but the girls keep on picking on me and the boys are really mean to me too…
The girls say that I'm a 'tomboy' and a… 'dyke'? or something like that. 'Kaa-san said that a tomboy is a girl that is a boy. But I'm not a boy! And the boys say that I look like an itachi. I saw one in the zoo and I don't have fur or small looking eyes or stripes! So why do they keep on bullying me?
I also learned how to multiply and divide numbers from 0 to 100! Aren't you proud of me! I can also climb the monkey bars by myself! And I made a new friend! Her name is Kamiya Kaoru! The teacher, Kamachi-sensei, said we look like twins! But she's taller than me. Mou, why am I so short, Aoshi-sama?
Were you short before? Did you look like a weasel too?
And don't worry! Even if she is my friend, you are always number one Aoshi-sama!
I have to go do homework now! Write back soon Aoshi-sama! I hope you bring back a present from your cousin's wedding! ('Kaa-san was teaching me new words!)
Love love love,
Misao
P.S. my birthday is coming up! It is in only two weeks! I'm turning seven!
P.P.S. I really really want you to come to my birthday!
P.P.P.S. I'm gong to tell 'Kaa-san to make your favorite chocolate ice cream cake! So please please please come!
Dear Misao,
I'm glad that you are having fun at school. And as for those bullies, ignore them. They're merely jealous of what you are. And even if you are a tomboy or a dyke, you are also you. Don't ever forget that.
It is a good thing that you now have a friend, you would need one to grow up with. And thank you. I'm very happy that I will be your number one. You are also first within my heart.
As for your height, I am unable to explain to you why you are not as tall as others. However, I suppose that it has something to do with your parents' genes. My parents are rather tall, thus my greater height. But don't worry about it just now. You'll grow soon enough.
And no. I was never referred to a weasel or anything else. Unless you consider what Hannya calls me. But we won't be getting to that.
I hope to sooth your worries by telling you that there will be many presents for you from my cousin's wedding. Megumi sends her love to you, enclosing a few dresses and bracelets. They're in the brown box that came with this letter.
As for your birthday, I will be trying my very best to make it there on time. However, there is no guarantee that I will be there since I have to take my college examinations on the whole week of your birthday.
Sincerely yours,
Aoshi
"Happy Birthday Misao-chan! Thank you for the cake!" eight year old Kamiya Kaoru smiled, hugging her best friend, who just turned seven.
"Thanks for the Disney books!" Misao said, returning the hug with great appreciation. As she gave her friend a smile, it didn't exactly reach her blue eyes.
"Bye!" Misao waved to her friend as Ms. Kamiya took Kaoru into the car. Sighing, she closed the door with a small pout on her face.
"Misao-chan! It's time to take a bath!" her mother called from upstairs.
"Hai!" Sighing again, she gathered her small mess of present wrappings from the floor and dropped them on the table with the colored streamers. Just as she reached the stairs, the bell rang.
A new sparkle ignited in her sapphire eyes as she ran to the door, swinging it open to find her best best friend holding a large lumpy package that was about half his size. Misao gave him a teary smile, before launching herself into his arms.
"Aoshi-sama! You came!"
Aoshi held onto the present with one arm while the other one secured itself on her small waist, holding her up with one arm. "Happy Birthday Misao."
"I told 'Kaa-san to save you some cake! Do you want some now!" she asked, dragging him into her house, kicking the door shut.
"Of course." Aoshi sat down on the couch as she ran back to him from the kitchen with a plate topped with a large slice of caramel chocolate ice cream cake. Misao watched as he ate, eyes darting back and forth from the present.
Seeing her eagerness, the seventeen year old smiled slightly. "Go ahead, it is your present."
Immediately, she reached over and carefully tear away the bubbled wrappings and let out a great squeal, throwing her arms around his neck along with the large brown teddy bear. "Arigatou times a million Aoshi-sama!"
"You're welcome." He said, allowing Misao to give him a peck on his cheek.
AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Things are going to be moving along quite smoothly without any interruptions if I don't suddenly pull a twist into this thing. Anyways, review!
Moonjava: Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Your fan, and I mean it : lol, I hope that this will be a real treat, since I'm working on three other chaptered fictions at the same time. But don't worry. My inspiration won't fade for this. I've gave a lot of consideration to writing this, and I'll be finishing it, most likely by mid-July or before my birthday! Thank you for the compliment!
