[Flowing, almost archaic script starts to inundate the page.]

Dearest Brother,

I do not know if you will ever receive this letter. All I know is that I have been spirited away to this dastardly, horrid, menacing, troubling, and mysterious place known as Isla Empieza. I am very much afraid – who knows what the people here would do to a young maiden such as myself? Oh, oh, my dearest brother, my virtue is at stake – you must come at once! If I die here, I will come back to haunt you and you will never hear the end of it, so I suggest that you come and fetch me at this very moment! One such man asked me my name, and I threw him off the dock. I am truly helpless, waif-like, and defenseless, and I need your aid!

Please, also let my darling fiance Ranma-sama know that I am longing for him. I will simply not entertain thoughts of any other until I find myself in his arms once more. I know how he grieves, but console him, my dearest sibling. How he must pine for me – it is unthinkable.

Brother, I will put this letter in a bottle and hope that it reaches you. I will perhaps ask a turtle to bear it for me. When you receive this, please come and rescue me!

Love,
The Star of Hope of the Gymnast World
The Black Rose
Your Beloved Sister
Kodachi

[Some time later . . .]

I can't rip the page out! I've been trying for hours! It just . . . flies back into the journal . . . !!! Magic exists, but only to taunt me! The fates are against me! I'll never be rescued now!

[Cue shrieks, wails, and sobs. When sorrows come, they come not single spies but in battalions.]

If you have to make up reasons for him to feel important, then you're a pretty bad sister. That just means you're not appreciating him enough the rest of the time.

It seems to me as though you think you are an expert on all siblings' relationships.

Stop telling me what to do and how to treat my brother - he's my brother, not yours, and I know what makes him happy. He wants me to make him feel important by going out of my way to show him that I need him.

[Just as she had to go out of her way to reassure Tatewaki that she wanted him as her guardian and not their father.]

[She's also very well capable of rescuing herself, but she likes acting like a damsel-in-distress, so there's that factor.]

If you're quite done lording it over me, I'd suggest that you go and spend time with your own sibling, if you have one, rather than telling me how to treat mine.

[She has a spine! Hikaru may have misjudged this one.]

Not a bad answer! Your brother sounds kind of pathetic though. Is he really that insecure about your relationship, or does he just have a 'hero thing' going on?

[How far can she be pushed? Is she the type to just close the journal and walk away, or is she the fighting type? He wants to find out.]

[Hikaru, don't do it; she's literally the type to put you in the hospital. If you value your limbs, don't rile her up.]

Do you really expect me to answer that after you've both imposed yourself upon me both as a lady and as a sister?

Insult me or him one more time and I will challenge you to a duel, you heathen.

[Ah, the false sense of security being on a ship in the middle of nowhere gives you. Hikaru is yet to learn any lessons about not riling strangers up.]

A duel? What era are you from?

That is irrelevant. [The 20th century, she'll have you know.]

Now are you going to behave or do you want to settle this in combat?

[Damsel-in-distress act is so over now. Show's about to start, folks!]

Violence is bad for my complexion, so I'll have to pass on the fighting. Sorry.

Coward.

What can I say? I'm delicate.
