It's nice to have daily updates, huh? Well, it's easy for me since these are easy thing to write and such. Thanks to ILoveSnakes and PM Sky Shiro-chan, mysterios, and Hyourinmaru10. Your reviews have got my plot bunnies well fed (unlike my Naruto one, where my plot bunnies have rebelled several times. Go check it out if you're a ninja fan)
Cheers!
Dear Momo,
Many of us taicho and fukutaicho went to the human world. Just to visit our living counterparts, you know? Peace had settled and it seems inevitably normal, almost unrealistic. The streets were full of people and the shrines open with colored banners hanging from every building. Lines of rope looped the grounds and small pieces of paper were tied to them. It's Tanabata, the Star Festival. Remember when we wished together back in the Rukongai? I'd wished that I would be able to protect you forever. I put my all into that wish back then, when I hadn't encountered death or killing. Seeing those wishes today reminded me how seriously fragile and transient they are. They grab onto that rope, just barely able to on, and yet they do. I guess that's what you'd call hope. So I made another wish today: that I'd be able to remember you for as long as I am who I am. I'll be with you forever that way, even if you're gone. Even in my mind, I can still see that tiny slip of white paper now. This time, I promise that this wish will come true. I swear it.
Shiro-chan
