Authors Notes:
With the recent discussion on the Ranma / You got Mail idea, my sister and
I are giving out this 
short teaser of a collaborative work we might do, which involves a certain
love letter that 'magically'
gets passed around...  (And no, this is not a �You Got Mail� crossover ^_^)

Furinkan...

Fresh and alive with the cool whisper of the morning air, while sweet
melodies of songbirds 
echoed throughout the school yard and trees swayed to the wind's cool
breath. Birds flew in the air 
as students milled through the arched gates of the school, their steps
quick and steady as they 
looked forward to another �normal� day in their high school lives. Pink
petals flew in the breeze; 
the sun silhouetting a few as they slowly spiraled down to rest on the
pavement� 

A single pink flower fell from a tree, taken by the wind and smoothly
lifting and guiding it to a 
nearby window� 

~~~

Desks lined the silent room as sun light streamed through the rooms clear
windows. It would�ve 
been empty, except for one young man who sat quietly at his desk, beside an
open window. 
Face silhouetted by the sun, he turned his thoughts into writing as his
hand busily scribbled 
down his feelings to paper�   

And stopped�

He sighed as he stared at the piece of rose-scented paper, brow furrowed in
deep thought as he 
unconsciously twirled his pen in his fingers. Slightly leaning his head to
the right and sighing once 
again. With his heart close to bursting with excitement, the man brought
his pen down to the table 
and rested his chin on his folded arms on top of the desk. For some reason
he just couldn�t stop 
thinking of her�Her face�her eyes�her smile that sent chills down his spine
even as he 
thought of it. 

*I am such a fool�* he thought, a rueful grin touching his face. 

This feeling that settled within his heart, so strange and yet�so right,
seemed as if a part of him 
would explode, and try as he might; he would - could never ever let go of
this feeling. He didn�t 
know what it was, and yet�maybe�just maybe�it could be � 

Without warning, a cherry blossom landed on his desk, beside the letter he
wrote, interrupting his 
thoughts as he gazed at it longingly. A cold breeze followed soon after as
he stared at it with 
mirth and picked it up, twirling it with his fingers as he gently brought
it close to his nose and took 
in its sweet smelling scent. A smile gently bloomed on his face as he
immersed himself once 
again in that single last thought� 

He sighed again, and laid the flower next to his letter, giving it one last
look as he turned his 
attention to the letter he was writing. The young man stared at the piece
of paper for a few 
moments, collecting his thoughts as he looked at his first line. The words
�To my dearest love� 
were written elegantly on the top. 

"To my dearest love�it sounds so lame..." he said out loud, cheek in his
hand and elbow resting 
on his hard wood desk as his fingers unconsciously tapped the table.  

��Every single time I want to tell you how I feel, I�no�The first time I
saw you�no�I�Argh! 
Why is this so damn hard!� he cried to the ceiling. 

It never answered� 

Sighing, he licked his lips as he stared out the window, a picture of her
smile filling his 
thoughts��I�ve never felt this way before�whenever I see you, I just can�t
find any words�I 
don�t know how to act or what to say around you�� 

His voice dropped down to a whisper as he continued, ��I�there�s just this
feeling in me that 
wants to burst and just�and�oh I don�t know�I can�t find any words to
explain it�just that��

He sighed, ��it�s just that�it�s just that every time I close my eyes, it�s
your face I see before me, 
and when I open them, it�s your face I want looking back at me. Letting
myself be lost in your 
eyes for the rest of my life�It�s no good�� 

Laying down his pen, he laid his arms on top of his desk and leaned
forward, cradling his 
forehead in his hands. He closed his eyes briefly as thoughts drifted in
his mind.

�What more can I say�?� he whispered softly to himself.  * What should I
say? * 

Tilting his head to the side, he opened his eyes once more and glanced down
at the fragrant pink 
bloom on his desk. It seemed to be calling him; he dismissed the thought
though, deciding that 
his heart was playing with his mind. He picked it up nonetheless, and spun
it gently in his fingers 
as an image of her face etched itself on the flower� 

"I never knew that writing it down would be just as hard as trying to say
it to you�just three 
simple words�� 

Sighing, he felt the weight of the world on his shoulders lighten as he
stood up and walked over to 
the open window. The wind felt cool on his face, as he leaned his shoulder
on the wall, the wind 
playing softly with his hair as his pigtail danced behind him� 

Glancing down, he smiled when he noticed that he still held the pink flower
in his hand. 
Somehow, it would be all right he thought as he savored the moment of peace
as he closed his 
eyes and imagined a certain person who made him feel like everything in the
world was all right� 

That everything would be, all right�

Opening his eyes, he glanced across the empty room and his gaze fell upon
the letter again and 
wondered if he should give it�

��I�ve gone this far�� he thought as he walked over to the table to sign
his name, when all of a 
sudden, the bell rang�

"Huh?" the boy exclaimed as he glanced at the clock above the door. What it
said did him no 
good as panic quickly overcame him. 

"Damn! I�ve got a test today!" Ranma screamed as he quickly grabbed his bag
and ran out of the 
room�

Letter forgotten�

With an open window beside it�

Too late�

Roused from its sleep, it slowly rose into the air as a cold wind blew
past. It flipped and turned 
through the currents of air, magically drifting through the window and to
the outside world� 

Where it flew or fell into the hands of�

Final notes:

No, my sister and I are not dead yet, we're still working on our fics. This
was just a short teaser of 
a fic my sister and I might work on depending on how well this does or time
in between writing our 
other fics. As always, comments or flames are welcome.
