Aoshi-sama,

Tell me it isn't true. Hannya's mother just called me. Are they… really…?

Much worries,

Misao

Re: URGENT

Misao,

Hannya, Beshimi, Shikijou, and Hyottoko passed away after an accident last night.

The funeral will be held in two weeks.

I will be home by Thursday.

Aoshi


Rows and rows of black lined up behind the four freshly dug graves, where four coffins were being lowered into. In the first row, family members held onto each other. Friends came next. Misao stood next to Aoshi, her small trembling fingers interlaced with his larger ones.

Looking up at him with woeful eyes, she let out a sob and buried her head into his arm, which automatically wrapped around her, pulling her to his chest. His eyes were chipped with coldness and pain.

A void filled the space in his heart that was supposed to be his friends. They were always there for him, and it was that that caused their demise. And now…

He only had her left.

Glancing down at the girl, Aoshi held Misao tighter to him.

He won't let her go; he will protect her no matter the cost.


AN: Well… I guess that this was really unexpected huh? After all, the genres WERE romance and humor. I guess my angst-y side got the better of me. And the format is different as well. I'm making them use email now. Ehehe… don't worry, sooner or later, I'll switch it back. After all, this is the quickest way that they can write to each other. Oh well. Review!

I also noticed my misspelling of "Shikijou" in the first chapter.

Moonjava: thank you thank you thank you! Gosh, I can't stop saying that (since you are always the first one to review every chapter!)

Ttv: thanks! Hm… angst in the middle and with a happy ending…. Err… well, that doesn't always happen when I write it. It tends to be angst-y all the way through the chapter and then there's gonna be a happy chapter after that.

legolasEstelstar: lol, thank you! And it's my pleasure, since the ideas are flowing like a river out of my head. I hope you 'had' fun in Maryland since you probably left by now. And yes, Aoshi did mean it. –swoons- I wonder what it'll be like if I actually received a letter like that from him.

mandella-sama: hm, that's a secret but I guess that it is obvious. It was in the last chapter –hint hint!-. And a C2 is a community (created by any user) where it is based on one Anime/Book/Game/TV Show/etc. and you can collect fanfics which are under the rating M for whatever theme/reason you created the community. I have a Gundam Wing C2 and you can check it out as an example. Or you could just go to your account and check under C2 Manager. Hope that this helps!
