Chapter 2: Letters and disappearances
Dear guys,
Your letter just made me cry! Really! After you wrote me that, I felt really homesick that I couldn't even stand from my bed. I miss you guys so much! But, besides that, I have been steadily improving and Papi said that in a few more years I could be just as his level and if I would train everyday and be a super ass-kicking Alien Hunter, I could come home in a year!
So how are things there back home? You better update me or else!
Love Kagura
Dearest Kagura-chan,
You're such a crybaby! Well that's what Gin-san said anyway. And congratulations on your steady improvement! We really do hope that what you said was true and that you could come home in a year, so you better not goof off out there and work your butt off!
Things here are pretty normal I guess, nothing's happened recently except I saw Okita-san yesterday and he asked when you were coming back. I was a bit surprised. I think someone misses you~
Gin-san also said to ask you if you're okay. I knew he was worried! Uh-oh, he saw me writing that, well, see you soon Kagura-chan and we miss you and hope that you're safe. I better go now before Gin-san makes me erase that part.
Love Gin-chan and Shinpachi
Dear guys,
So that Sadist misses me huh, I knew that he liked me~
Bleh that sounded wrong! Tell him that he should get ready because when I'm coming home, I'm going to beat his sorry behind! And Gin-chan, I'm perfectly fine so you don't need to worry about me. Training is getting more and more intense every day. But I'm on my way to becoming the greatest Alien Hunter this universe has ever seen!
Love Kagura, the future greatest Alien Hunter
Dear Kagura-chan,
We told Okita-san what you said and he just smirked and said that he was looking forward to it. Gin-san also said that you shouldn't push yourself, and I also would like for you not to stress that much. We hope that you're safe.
Also, when we met up with everybody, they all wondered if you were okay and when you were coming back. They must miss you too huh?
Shinpachi and Gin-chan
Dear Kagura-chan,
Guess what happened today? When Kondo-san came over to my house, he asked nee-san out on a date, but the real surprise was that she didn't get to answer him because a crazy alien came bursting through the wall and started yelling out in another language while dancing. I swear that that was one of the weirdest things that happened while you were gone. And after that, they made ME clean up!
Love Shinpachi and Gin-chan
Dear guys,
That is weird! Maybe it was a running gag and you were actually being filmed! You might be stared in a show! That would be awesome!
Kagura
Dear Kagura-chan,
If that was so then I'd be famous, but I doubt that Kondo-san would appreciate it since when the alien started dancing and yelling stuff, he tried to approach it but got smacked in the face instead! You should have seen his face, there was a lump the size of a baseball ball on his head. Ouch!
Gin-chan and Shinpachi
Dear guys,
If I were there, I'd be laughing my head off; actually I did when I read your letter. When the ship I was on passed earth, I started feeling home sick again. I'm glad you haven't blown it up in anyway while I was gone.
Love Kagura
Dear Kagura-chan,
We didn't have time to blow it up, and we didn't intend too! It wasn't our fault that those amanto were idiots! They were asking for it!
Love Gin-chan and Shinpachi
Dear guys,
I haven't even mentioned you blowing up some amanto. And what did you guys do?! When I passed by earth again, there was a black spot!
Kagura
Dear Kagura-chan,
I swear that we didn't do that much damage!
Gin and Shinpachi
Dear Kagura-chan,
Where are you right now? You haven't been replying at all to us and it's already been five months! We're really worried about you, not only me and Gin-san, but nee-san, Catherine-san, Otose-san, Katsura-san, even Hijikata-san, Kondo-san and Okita-san are asking about you!
Please reply back Kagura-chan. We're all worried about you.
Love, Everybody
Dearest Kagura-chan,
We got a letter from Hage-san, I mean Umibouzu-san. He said that your ship was attacked by an alien and that most passengers were lost. ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! We sent this letter to Umibouzu-san in hopes that he'll be able to give it to you. We heard that some people were still missing and that includes you. You cannot imagine how worried everyone is. Please, please, please be safe Kagura-chan.
Gin-san had been getting worse since you were reported missing. He's been getting so many jobs that he collapsed a few days ago. He hasn't been eating well and when Otose-san even gave him an all you can eat buffet pass and that it was free, he refused it! Even Okita-san has been getting restless. Hijikata-san came the other day and asked if there was any word of you yet. He said that Okita- san had been going on a rampage everyday and that he wouldn't stop. Hijikata-san was also pretty worried about you and said that if anything came up, he should know right away. Nee-san had been getting a bit in a bad condition too. She would usually be responsible, but lately she's been staring out the window a lot. Katsura-san had been missing for a while. He said that he would go look for any reports if there were any survivors from your ship. I'm worried about you too Kagura-chan, so please, please be safe.
If you were gone, this place would never be the same ever again.
Waiting for you, everyone
Dear Kagura-chan,
There had been reports and there were survivors from that wreck, but, you weren't there. WHERE ARE YOU?! PLEASE BE SAFE! When everyone heard this, we were all devastated. Gin-san had been getting worse; he's been accepting jobs left and right. He hasn't been eating at all and he's been getting more violent that he would pick fights with anyone! Okita-san had become a wreck! He's been training so much that he neglected eating and sleeping. Hijikata-san was worried too. He hasn't been able to concentrate at all. It's true, I saw him just standing there and looking at the sky while the guy he was supposed to arrest got away. Nee-san had been crying a lot too. I saw her while she was making dinner and she was crying. Otose-san and Catherine-san had been smoking way too much than usual. Katsura-san's still missing, but we received a letter from him yesterday so he's fine.
KAGURA-CHAN, WHERE ARE YOU?! To be honest, while I was writing this letter, I was bawling my eyes out. Please be safe and come back to us Kagura-chan. You can't imagine how many people already miss you.
Love, your friends
Dearest Kagura-chan,
It's already been about eight months since you were reported missing. We we're also shocked when Umibouzu came and personally told us that we should get ready for the worst if you weren't found until now. None of us can accept it. We won't accept that you're gone; Kagura-chan. Gin-san threw a rampage when we were all told the news. Umibouzu said that we should gather in Otose-san's bar and he told us the news. Gin-san wouldn't hear it; he went about the room destroying everything that he had to be detained by Umibouzu-san and Kondo-san. Okita-san was pretty out of it, he just sat there and didn't say anything the whole time and just stared at his hands. Hijikata-san just kept on drinking and drinking alcohol that Otose-san had to tie him up to stop him. Catherine-san had been comforting nee-san, who up until now had been crying. And you know what happened next? Katsura-san came in with someone or something following behind him or limping behind him. It was Sadaharu! We were all so shocked when he came in. He had been injured but it wasn't serious.
When we asked Katsura-san, he said that he found Sadaharu wandering the roads, towards Kabukichou.
Sadaharu came towards us and dropped something he was carrying in his mouth. It was one of your hair ornaments. It was followed by a letter so I quickly read it out loud. We were so surprised when it was written in blood.
Dear everyone,
I'm sorry I haven't been replying but my ship crashed and now I don't know if I can get back to you. If you get this from Sadaharu, please take care of him for me. Love Kagura
You're alive! Now we know that we won't be saying goodbye yet. Come home quickly Kagura-chan! We all miss you!
Love, everyone
Dear guys,
I'm coming home.
Love Kagura.
