Liking Oneself II: Thank You (Bleach Fanfic)

Letters to Them (Part II) Nobel Oddities

The air around the noble estate came to the small taicho's nose crisp and fresh. His small mouth folded in irritation, trying to figure out how to approach the place, his mind completely uncomfortable with the idea of heading into that place. However, in his sleeve was one of those letters he felt the need to deliver.

He thought about simply sliding it through the crack in the small door, when it suddenly opened and caused him to jump. A young man who was slightly taller then him opened, an obvious person of the novel class. At that, Hitsugaya found himself pausing. The young man had shaggy brown hair and let out a rather meek greeting. "Hello... can I help you?"

"I just wish to leave a letter is all." Toshiro paused, suddenly holding it out to the young male.

"That letter... it is for?" The young male paused.

The small taicho simply narrowed his eyes at the young man. "It is for Kasumiojii-san." His teal eyes watched as the boy looked him up and down warily.

Then, letting out a sigh, the boy spoke up. "I should have known despite the fact that I am her fiance, she would have other suitors." However, as he said that he suddenly pulled away. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that."

Toshiro blinked a couple of times. "That isn't what that letter is about..."

"Still... you should deliver it yourself." The young man stated, suddenly heading back in. He turned to look at Hitsugaya. "Aren't you coming?"

Rather reluctantly, the small taicho followed after the young man, the only information he had on him being that he was Rurichiyo's fiance. At that, Hitsugaya let out a deep sigh, hoping this all would be over in a matter of seconds. He followed the young man to a sitting area and then was beckoned to wait Kasumioigii's fiance to get her.

She came into the room, her own teal colored eyes bright like her blond hair. She sat down in front of him. "You are?"

"Isn't it obvious that he is the captain of the gotei thirteen? He's the tenth division taicho to be exact." The young man spoke up.

"And he is here..." The small female blinked her eyes a couple of times.

"I just came to deliver a letter." Toshiro stated, pushing forward the envelop, frowning at the small female, wanting to shake his head at the small oddity in front of him, but restraining himself from reacting.

The small female opened it up, and then choose to read the letter out loud. "I understand that you do not know who I am, or even remember the event in which you heard about me. Only part of my name was mentioned. Matsumoto Rangiku was making a video..." At that she paused. "Oh... you're that person. You honestly could be, with your eye color and pale hair, be a long lost member of the Kasumiojii family."

"Umm... yes..." Toshiro glanced at the ground at this.

"This is what this is about?" Rurichiyo's fiance spoke up

"... making a video for me. Though your words may not have seemed like much, they did in fact mean much to me and I wish to thank you for them." The female paused. "So, does this mean you want to be part of our family?"

At that, Hitsugaya blinked his teal eyes a couple of times. He was caught slightly off guard and blurted out the first thing that came to his mind. "I don't mind you wishing for me to be a part of your family, but..."

However, Toshiro found himself quickly interrupted by the small female. "I like having a brother added to the family!"

"But..." The small taicho blinked a couple of times, holding up his hand while the head of the Kasmumiojii's fiance simply smiled at the female's antics.

"Hmm... you wouldn't happen to be interested in someone? I mean, you wouldn't happen to have someone you are engaged too?" The female asked rather quickly, a serious look spreading on her face.

"No... what... why?" Toshiro's face paled, while the fiance blinked a couple of times, his normally emotional features showing the slightest case of confusion showing through.

"Hmm... who then would be good for you to become engaged to?" The blond female crossed her arms. "As a captain and an honorary member of my family you can pretty much marry any girl you want."

"That isn't true." The small captain commented, the corner of his mouth twitching. "I think the laws would prevent me from marrying someone from the living world who wasn't dead yet."

"Someone from the living world who isn't dead yet?" The female suddenly slammed a fist into her palm. "I got it, you can marry Kurosaki Yuzu."

"What..." The taicho simply stared. "You didn't listen to anything I said. And why try pairing me up with the twin of Kurosaki that I don't know well? This makes no sense at all."

"I think it is hysterical." His dragon laughed.
