The curse and the cure part 2

.

"Dear Daddy,

You are probably wondering why i haven't wrote you a whole year but I managed to sent you this letter three weeks before we return home. In case you're wondering, I don't need money. It's just that recently, something important and unexpected happened in my life and I feet like sharing it.

I don't even know with what to start. I think it will be better to keep it chronological and relate you the facts as they truly were, because the facts will speak the truth better than one thousand words spoken by my foolish my heart.

As you know, almost a year ago Toto and I arrived in the human world. We first stopped in Japan, but there was nothing interesting for me in that place: tea ceremonies, hanami spectacles and Toto spending a lot of time with geishas (well not in bed, but at the desk, teaching them calligraphy). From Japan, we thought of moving to Europe, but there was some big war going on, due to some guy called Hitler who was trying to take over the world. After a short period spent in London and Copenhagen, we eventually left Europe and we headed to The United States. That's where the adventure begun:

Unites States: whiskey, short skirts, jive, jazz and wild parties. I tasted drinks that i never heard of before and I had fun with boys and girls… on the dance floor or in bed and i don't regret a damn thing. The best part was when the police caught us. You know what police is, right? Toto and I, we were at this pub. He was drinking his mind with two beautiful Americans, while a guy was trying to teach me jive (it's human dance). At certain moment, Toto suddenly disappeared. I didn't pay attention to that but later, when I returned to our room the light were off and I heard some strange noises. It only took me two seconds to understand that Toto had brought the two Americans there (or taking in consideration his extremely drunk estate, it would have been a high possibility for the girls to be the ones to drag him here). I stared at them while they were trying to undress my fiancé and i decided to surprise the trio with a Kido performance on their asses (including Toto's)... but then one of the girls approached me and pushed me on bed next to the others. "The more, the merrier!" she shouted and for a reason i couldn't understand, I started to laugh. Some strange mixture of sensations filled my body in that moment... maybe it was because of the two strangers or the dark room. Maybe it was because of the heat of Toto's body and his lips that were approaching me... i just gave in. I closed my eyes waiting for him to kiss me and then i felt like something was spilled on me. The two girls started to laugh and from the smell I understood that it was a bottle of whiskey that had been spilled on me. "Such a waste!" one of the girls cried, but then the other one approached and put her tongue on my back, exactly on the place the alcohol was spilled. Daddy, believe me, I froze in that moment! I've tried a lot of things in my life, but that was a first time and didn't know how I was supposed to react. "Oh, i want some too!" the other girl snapped and spilled more whiskey on me, imitating what the first one was doing earlier. Daddy, is this too much for you? Don't worry... we didn't go too far that night because a couple of minutes later the prohibition police officers burst into our room. (Oh, I forgot to mention, but the alcohol is forbidden in USA).

" Let's Shunpo! At three!" Toto said.

"Are stupid? We can't shunpo in a gigai!" i replied.

"Than ruuuuuuuun!" he yelled and pushed the officers, running down the hall. Unfortunately, all the exists were blocked by officers and Toto didn't have other choice but to approach an open window from the third floor.

"Do you love me?" he asked nervously. I looked at him confused and when he understood the stupidity he just said he corrected himself: "Sorry...i mean do you trust me?" In was more a rhetorical question, because two seconds later, we were jumping on the window.

It may sound a stupid story, daddy, but after that night I kept thinking of Toto's words: "Do you love me?". I know he was drunk in that moment, but… i…

Anyway, shortly after that we left USA we headed The Latin America, The Dominican Republic. We found some new gigais, a room at a hotel and then we started to spend money on the "caudillo" dream. The passionate latin spirit won my heart from the very first moment. In Latin America, I felt that I finally found the place I truly belonged. Toto didn't share the same opinion, though. On the contrary, during the time spent in the Dominican Republic, he begun to be bored, bringing into discussion more often the fact that he was missing his home and his parents. Call me selfish, but i didn't care about his feelings in that moment. I only had eyes for the latino dances and the one man who conquered my heart. His name was Juan Carlos and he was a dance instructor.

Daddy, before you get mad, please read the rest of the story: On the beginning, Toto didn't opposite the fact that I was dating Juan Carlos, but then, one day we had the biggest fight in our lives. I will try to right down here, as much as i can remember from it:

We were in our hotel room. It was morning and he had just returned. He had spent the whole night away, because I've asked him so, since we had a little argue the previous evening on how he didn't like "bachata" (a dance that Juan Carlos came up with). Literally, I've kicked him out of the room, but i didn't believe that he would actually spend the whole night away. When he entered the room we were both mad. Myself, because i though he spend the night with some Spanish girl, and he, because he thought that I brought Juan Carlos in our room:

"Don't look at me like this... if you want so much to go home to your parents... then GO! I'm not holding you here against your will!" i shouted.

"Nene-cha if you are raising your voice at me once again, i swear i'd..." he replied menacingly.

"You'd what? You'd bankai me? ... Forget it, Toto! I'm not a child anymore...I'm a grown up women, and i have the right to...!"

"YOU ARE MY FIANCEE!" he shouted angry and when i heard those words I've told myself:"that was it!"

"What fiancée?" I yelled back. "You don't even want to marry me! You're doing it because Ginrei told you so! Myself, i don't want this marriage! You don't love me so hear me, Byakuya! There will be no marriage! Got it?"

He stood a couple of minutes silent and still like a statue. Then he said coldly:

"When you're done with acting like a lunatic, start packing your belongings. Tomorrow we are going home"

"Haven't you heard what i said? ...I'm not returning home! The Dominican Republic is my new home... and Juan Carlos will be my husband, NOT YOU!"

When he heard those words, Toto turned to me shocked and In order to finish all this, i showed him the engagement ring that Juan gave to me the previous night.

"You will not dishonor my family!" Toto growled.

"Oh, but i will!" I answered on the edge of madness." Just watch me how i will because I hate it as much as I hate you and your pride. Can't you see? You made all this Kuchiki bullshit more important than what we had together!...We've been engaged ever since we were children but you never looked at me... not even once! We've been sharing the same bed for almost a year, but you never approached! How can you expect me to marry you, when you don't even want me?! Forget it Toto! I'm not going back home to become lady of the Kuchiki manor... i have finally found love next to Juan so I'm staying here!"

And before Toto could actually say something, i left the room and went to the bar where Juan usually was working. The truth is that i liked Juan. He was gentle and passionate at the same time. He wasn't afraid of admitting his feelings and every time he was pronouncing my name with a latin accent, i felt the blood turning hot in my veins. He was everything that Toto wasn't...and yet that day, even though his manly arms were around me, i couldn't take my mind of Toto. My heart was so heavy because we I yelled at thim and because i knew that he will return home and i will never see him again. I was looking at Juan and i was feeling like he couldn't fill the empty place that Toto had left in my heart.

Later that evening, people gathered at the bar and they began to dance on the bachata rhythms. Juan also invited to dance. I wasn't in the mood, but i couldn't refuse him since i didn't want him to know that my mind was still on Toto. I got up from my chair to follow Juan but then someone put a gently yet definite hand around my waist. I turned and i saw Toto behind me. He was looking at me intensively on a way he never done it before. When I met his grey eyes, Juan suddenly disappeared from my sight. Toto pulled me to the dance floor... and we slowly began to dance bachata.

Oh, daddy! I've never danced with anyone the way i danced with Toto that night.

" Are you still leaving tomorrow?" i asked.

He didn't answered.

"I'm sorry for what i said in the morning..."

Again, no reply, but he eyes were fixed on me with a strange glare.

"Toto... you know, last night, nothing happened between me and Juan...i returned to the room early."

On those words a slight frown appeared on his forehead.

"I was wondering..." he finally said. "Why don't you just come on over and stop making a fool out me?"

My eyes widened as i stopped in the middle of the dance floor. I opened my mouth to answer him, then he suddenly leaned and... Kissed me! When we parted... i felt like i was going to burst into tears because i had suddenly acknowledged that I spend all my life being unconsciously in love with only one person: Toto.

But Toto didn't pay attention to my trembling chin. He just violently grabbed my hand and took over the ring Juan gave me. He throw it on the floor, in front of Juan who was watching speechless the whole scene.

"Don't you ever again dare to say that you'll marry someone else than me!" Toto whispered in my ear with a menacing voice. "Don't you ever dare to presume that i don't want you! You always thought that i was the spoiled child but you proved yourself more callow than me, since all these years, you couldn't understand the way i feel for you. You blame me for putting my family's pride in front of anything else... but stupid girl, don't you know that you're also part of my family?"

Daddy, the rest of the night, after we got back to the room, you can guess. You can I know you have a strong imagination...so use it!

All in all, this is what i wanted to tell you: I'm in love with my fiancé. The feeling is so wonderful, but it also scares me, because I can't imagine such an amount of happiness without a tragedy to follow after it. You know the way things run in this family: we can't have a smile, without sharing one thousands tears after it. It's like we are cursed and Daddy, you might find cheap and cliché, but I'm afraid that if I'd ever loose Toto i will die.

Oh Daddy, that's why I'm asking you: Please guard my happiness!

Sincerely yours,

Your beloved daughter, Haruna."

.

Still standing on the porch, Haruna turned to her father with a pitiful look:

"Judging by your look it appears that you still remember the content of that letter… Then you must also remember that I asked you to guard my happiness, not to destroy it!" she snapped angry.

Goroza only bowed his head silently. He loved his daughter and in that moment he thought he had done the right thing. How could he explain her that?

That was for the moment... I'll be back with part 3 as soon as you review... more ;)
