Written to Friends
Dear [Insert Your Name Here],
I hope this letter finds you well. If it does, I would appreciate a response at your earliest convenience, just to put my mind at ease regarding your well-being. Alert me at once should you have need of me.
As for myself, I am well, and rested. I wanted to write this before I resumed my duties to assist the civilians in the city. As I am certain I will be called to report to Esdham soon, now that the undead have been laid to rest, it is imperative that I find a chocobo of my own, so that I may travel freely between cities should the opportunity arise.
I plan to embark on a three-day expedition, from November 7th through the 9th, and you are welcome to accompany me during any number of those days. Be certain to bring warm clothes, fresh water, food that will not easily spoil, and a sleeping bag or tent. Until this time, I will likely be found assisting with the responsibilities of cleaning up and healing injuries.
Know that I will think well of you while I reside in Esdham, and I look forward to your letters. Do not hesitate to write should you ever feel the desire. If you wish to visit, you will be warmly welcomed. I will not be far, if you ever have need of me.
Sincerely,
Rukia Kuchiki
P.S. Now that I am not so busily engaged in the capture and detainment of rogue spirits, I would like to make good on our former agreement. Please notify me if you still wish to receive your date, and inform me when you would like to meet. If you have any preferred activities or meals, please notify me prior to our engagement, so that I can plan an appropriate evening.
no subject
She falls against the couch letting her legs curl up beneath her until she's in a small ball. Her hair fans around her and her fingers began to pull the long strains from her face.]
I don't know.
[She really has no idea what to do.]
I feel like both would be good... I'd rather make the other person happier in the long run.
[It's not as if he'd come looking for her or jump between worlds.]
Besides in the future he has a daughter and I don't think it's with me...
no subject
[Because that's probably a much better idea than talking to Rukia. She's good at listening, but this really isn't her realm of specialty. Surely Yuffie must have known this. It kind of troubles her that she can't be of more assistance.]
no subject
[She hasn’t told him all of it.]
When our folders were released he let me read his. I noticed he had a daughter and asked him why us having a relationship was a good idea if he had a family at home. It hurt… I thought…
[She lets out a heavy breath.]
I actually thought we could be happy together…
[Yuffie rolls over to face the back of the couch. If Rukia doesn’t move her she’s sleeping there tonight. She doesn’t want to move or to think. She closes her eyes and lets the world drift away so she doesn’t have to feel anything at all.]
I was wrong.
no subject
[Talk about a complete mood reversal. Rukia went from awkward and silently sympathetic to completely aghast. Maybe if the daughter hadn't been conceived yet, it might be fine, but this...! She spins around to face Yuffie, kneeling on the couch cushion.]
Do you mean to say he was already in a committed relationship before coming here? What is the status of the mother?
[Because if he kissed Yuffie, then he's a vile cheater, and unworthy of Yuffie's affections. Worse, he's making her cry and fret, the vile fiend!]
no subject
I have no idea if he's dating anyone when he left. His daughter is in the future but I knew he had a girl friend.
[She has no idea what the status of said girl friend is though.]
When we were at the beach he said he'd come to my world. [she laughs but it's pained as if ironic.] My dad would hate him.
[He very much has a mentally similar to ShinRa when it comes to technology, as much as she wants a giant robot.]
no subject
[She knows that's rude to say, and she sighs heavily, but really... He shouldn't be making her cry over this. If he has a girlfriend back home, he should be true to her. If he isn't, then there's a good chance he might not be true to Yuffie either. She puts a hand on Yuffie's head, patting her consolingly. Now she understands the mixed feelings a little better.]
Surely there must be someone else in this world that you favor? One who would be less likely to break your heart.
no subject
Really? Do you want my track with guys? I can list it out.
[She sits up in a swift motion and then beings holding up fingers.]
First Zack, he's dead and likes someone who eventually becomes my friend. Then Cloud who is totally in love with Tifa and vice versa but they are both to stupid to realize it. Plus Cloud is super young here and it's creepy. I thought maybe I'd like Vincent but he's so wrapped up in his pain and his lost love that he can't even live a normal life. 50% of the time I don't even know if we are friends. I liked Ramza when I first arrived but he sees me as a younger sister because I was fifteen when we first met. The fact that I'm almost nineteen doesn't matter and I'm not bring in that up ever so that's done with. Yuri was cute but I mixed him up with a friend and he's sort of a jerk and lets face it, he probably can't find someone to give up that pessimistic view for. Manami is oblivious. MarKus I can't figure out. Reno who is gay. Luffy is an idiot. Ace is to serious.
See? Nothing!
[Yuffie throws her arms in the air and then falls back down to the couch. She's doomed to be alone.]
no subject
[She doesn't know most of the others, but she can understand her feelings regarding Yuri. And she wouldn't approve of anyone who's still hung up on another girl, there's no sense wasting time on someone like that in her humble itty bitty opinion. But of all the others, she remembers Manami's bright and sunny attitude, not to mention the cheerful and friendly letters he wrote. Plus he liked Rukia's art, which gave him big approval points in Rukia's book.]
That's who I would choose for you, based on your list. He can't remain clueless forever.
[She folds her arms and nods sagely.]
Of course, that's all null and void if you have no romantic interest, but if you do, I could see you being happy together.
[Or just downright happy period, Manami's the most upbeat person she's met in a long time.]</small.
no subject
[Yuffie fidgets as if she's been caught. She looks up at her friend and then makes a noise that doesn't make sense before burying her face into the throw pillow that's conveniently located right in front of her.]
NOPE! I'm not telling you.
[She's definitely hiding something.]
no subject
[She just spilled her guts about kissing and romance and her dead mom, but her relation with Manami is confidential? What in the world did they do?]
Why is that?
[Seriously, she does not understand these chaotic boundaries.]
no subject
She peeks over at Rukia and the shinigami might notice the slight tint to Yuffie's cheeks before she decides that talking to the pillow is her best option.]
I kissed Manami...
[Her voice is muffled but the confession is there.]
no subject
[And he's still clueless? They might really have their work cut out for them, if that's the case. Rukia blinks, furrowing her brow.]
Oi, just how many people have you kissed in this world?
[And you called Rukia a maneater! For shame.]
no subject
Not to many... I accidentally saw Cloud naked in the shower once.
[That really isn't her fault though. It's the rules of snow ball wars.]
That's when I was fifteen.
[She pauses.]
I don't know who've I've kissed...
no subject
[Can they pretend Cloud being naked was never brought up at all? Or anyone else for that matter? Her brain doesn't need anything of that nature.]
How can you say that? Clearly you do, if you just named two of them. Which others?
no subject
Should I kiss more people?
[She looks up at Rukia feeling a little confused. What's bad about kissing?]
I haven't kissed Yuri. I don't think.
no subject
[Kissing seems to be a fairly serious commitment in the Soul Society, at least as far as what she's observed in others, but they've all been dead for decades. Times may have changed.]
Is it truly such a casual gesture now...?
[She had no opinion one way or the other about kissing Yuri. Personally she wouldn't recommend it, but then again, she wonders if his esteem might improve if someone believed he was worth kissing. All she knows is that she, herself, will not be doing the honors. Ever.]
no subject
No it's not casual. Most people get really annoyed or embarrassed.
[Though why Yuffie chooses to do these things is a mystery all together.]
I just like showing people that I like them.
no subject
How often do they return the sentiment?
[Maybe Yuffie could name the people who kissed her, at least. Other than MarKus, that snake.]
And a kiss to the cheek is casual, is it not?
no subject
[Sorry Rukia, Yuffie doesn't have answers. People don't even normally kiss each other on the cheek unless they are related.]
My mom used to kiss me...
[That's awkward.]
As for people to kiss me back... there is... no one.
no subject
[She leans back, arms folded yet again. It's her thinking pose.]
Did you give them enough time to kiss you back, or did you run off afterward? Or play it off as a joke?
[Surely one of them might have wanted to return the favor, she's sure.]
no subject
She lightly begins to pick at the pillow while looking down at the seems.]
Do you think someone would want to kiss me?
[Her dark eyes look over at Rukia shining as if looking for a glimmer of hope.]
no subject
[She smirks, but then her expression softens. She knows what Yuffie is asking.]
Yuffie, you're bright, cheerful, and have the capacity to care very deeply for other people. Do not think so poorly of yourself, for you are more than worthy of being loved. Give people a chance to do just that, and you may be pleasantly surprised.
no subject
[It's still a little hard to believe.]
Have you ever kissed someone?
no subject
[She can make that promise with confidence, and a warm smile. As for kissing someone? She blinks, surprised at the question, but seems no harm in answering.]
Not out of romantic intent, but yes, just once, on the cheek. I understand that's a traditional way to end a date, correct?
[She'd asked him what he preferred, and that's what he chose.]
no subject
[Yuffie shots up in her seat looking over at Rukia with a curious gaze.]
Who did you kiss?
[It's safe to say that she hadn't kissed D at the end of their date. That'd have been a little weird.]
