Dear Hinamori-san,
Today is Tanabata, the Star Festival. It's been a long time since the shinigami of the Sereitei have been out on something other than hunting down stray Hollows. We went to the human world today, in gigai, and celebrated. It was certainly one of the better days, the weather being perfect for once. I'm sorry if I sound a bit irritated, but really, Matsumoto drinking herself way over her head and leaving me with the paper work is a totally ridiculous thing to put up with. We did the usual, wrote wishes and hung them on the branches and then the others went off to party Needless to say, I was dragged along and never in my life have I seen so much alcohol nor confetti. But later, I ended up alone. And being lost in the human world is kind of unnerving. The human town we went to wasn't exactly large. It wasn't exactly rural either, so probably an area just outside of a city. And if you go way back to the ends of this town, there are fields. The fields are empty except for the grass and maybe a river or two. I liked it. It reminded me of home. I thought I'd hang around for awhile since the others are completely wasted and are going to have to deal with insane hangovers come morning. Around 3 AM, someone lit a fire.
It was last year's branches. They were burning them, though it didn't seem like a common custom. Maybe it was a regional or a district tradition. Normally, I really wouldn't have cared but I guess I was feeling sentimental. It's Tanabata, after all. I read the wishes, as many as I could. Many of them were similar to the ones I'd seen on this year's branches. But there was a wish tied onto one of the papers. It was in my handwriting, so I must've come here last year. It read: "I promise I'll remember her". I wonder, who is 'her', exactly? She must have been important, if I went through the trouble of wishing for it. So I found some paper, a pencil I'd had on me since earlier and wrote down a note.
It said: I promise to remember you.
I let it burn, but maybe it was better that way. I don't know who 'she' is or where she's gone or if she even knows me. She could be anywhere. I'll remember someday, though I'm not sure when. But the time will come.
On a second note, I hope your own Tanabata was much nicer than mine. The Rukongai always holds celebrations, regardless of district. May all your wishes come true, Hinamori-san.

A/N: It's only Shiro-chan's letter this time around, since it's pretty lengthy. Hopefully the next one will bring around something more interesting XD. PLEASE REVIEW. I NEED YOUR FEEDBACK.
CONTEST: Name the most cracktastic pairing in Bleach you can think of. I'll make a cameo of one of the ones that pop up!
