"Ryuuken-sama, there is a letter for you." Katagiri said after the Ishida heir closed his medical journal and set aside the pen.
Blue eyes looked at her. "Who is it from?"
She paused in hesitation but did not need prompting to answer him. "It is from Masaki-sama."
"I see." Ryuuken took the letter from her fingers and opened it. There were two slips of paper inside. The second one she could see clearly as he placed it on the table. It was an RSVP slip with a date.
After a moment, Kanae dared to ask. "What is it?"
He handed her the letter and watched as she read it through. Biting down on her lower lip, she turned to him. "How would you like to respond, Ryuuken-sama?"
"I'll leave it up to you." The white-haired man stood up and left her with the invitation and return slip.
Brown eyes stared down at the crème colored papers and the neatly handwritten black letters addressed to Ryuuken and her specifically. She managed a small tilt at the informal line at the bottom of the invitation.
I can't wait to see you both! ~ Masaki

AN: Masaki itched to come back for a cameo. Though I think Isshin was the biggest influence. This has to be one of the shortest chapters I've written to date.
