Liking Oneself II: Thank You (Bleach Fanfic)

Letters to Them (Part I) Special Delivery

The small taicho sat at his desk, wary that Matsumoto was eying him from her own desk. He simply kept writing down the words, despite the fact they were in fact much shorter then he would have liked. However, he knew very well that there were people that he couldn't speak to personally or in fact didn't know, in his opinion, well enough.

Glancing up, he could see the worry spread over Rangiku's face. "She really doesn't want me to go and see Ichimaru, does she?"

"She is worried about you getting hurt." Hyorinmaru piped up.

"I can very much take care of myself. How drastically major is what he needs to tell me? I mean, it's just about me not liking myself right? He's never been really serious about things, so I don't expect much from him."

There was a pause from the dragon, and then he spoke up again. "Ichimaru has been acting a lot more seriously lately. I don't know how to say this too, but I don't think what he has to talk to you about is something that will be easy to take."

"You say that because of the fact he tends to turn people's stomach with some of those jokes he pulls and the fact not many people are able to get along with him." Toshiro placed the letters into envelopes and placed his official seal on the front. Getting up, he headed for the door.

Rangiku piped up suddenly from the side. "Taicho? Where are you going?"

"I am going out to talk to some people about the video." The small boy glanced at her.

He was not surprised when she spoke up again. "Are you going to visit Gin?"

"Not just yet. Matsumoto, before you ask, I don't need you to follow me. I'll be fine." The small taicho moved then out the door as Rangiku took a deep sigh.

Yoruichi walked through the Seireitei, her arms behind her head, a smirk on her face due to the fact it was a nice day out. However, boredom was at the back of her brain as she walked along. She wished that something would come along her way that would brighten up her day. As she walked along, she suddenly saw the small taicho of the tenth division walking along.

She thought nothing of it, but then heard him suddenly call out. "Shihoin Yoruichi."

At that, the woman paused and then turned to walk back. "I didn't exactly expect you to want to speak with me. Something bothering you?"

"Actually, I was wondering if you could deliver something for me." Toshiro piped up. "I wouldn't ask if it weren't for the fact that I don't know how to get it to this person other wise."

"Oh?" Her eyes suddenly sparkled. "You actually think I may be able to? Why?"

"Because you are sneaky and your kind of sneaky is how this person has been able to remain hidden." The small taicho suddenly handed her the letter and she blinked a couple of times.

"You want me to deliver a letter to a dead Bount?" Yourichi raised an eyebrow.

"I think you know where his dead body rests in peace" the young taicho stated, simply turning around and leaving, not letting the conversation continue that long. The female shook her head in mirth.

Go Koga sat underground, taking deep breaths and communicating with his Doll that happened to also no longer need a physical form. That was when he heard the hatch open and heard his hostess suddenly speak to someone. The sound landing of the person on their feet identified them as having cat like reflexes. His eyes open. "Good day to you Yourichi-san. What do I owe this pleasure for?"

"I have a letter for you, friend." The werecat laughed, dropping the paper into his lap.

Koga picked up the letter and saw that it was addressed from the small taicho of the tenth division. He opened up the paper and then read the words.

To Go Koga

- I wish to thank you for your words of wisdom. I am thankful for the fact that while I am young, you still respect me and wish me well. If we had met under different circumstances, I think I would have been able to have called you sensei and would have liked to had the chance to work with you and learn from you.

- Sincerly, the taicho of the tenth division

Hitsugaya Toshiro

The Bount let out a chuckle at reading these words.
