Am I truly hopeless
Am I being pathetic
Are you even aware of my existence
Misao observed Aoshi behind the glass window as he
leave for the temple. She raised her hand on the cold glass,
her small fingers somewhat reaching for him, but too far to be
touched. Sadly, she sighed as she watched the tall man
disappear behind the high walls of the Aoiya.
She pushed herself away from the window and leaned
against the wall. The forlorn look had been there since she met
him down the hallway.
"Ohayou, Aoshi-sama! Would you like to have
breakfast with me?" she greeted in her usual bright smile.
"No, thank you. I've decided to go to the temple, alone."
Aoshi replied callously, not even bothering to stop on his tracks or
look at her in the eye, and left Misao looking rather hurt.
"Sou des ne." Misao whispered, giving a small smile
even though Aoshi's already facing his back to her.
Hope you have a nice day, Aoshi-sama.
She joined the others in the dining room, all of them
already starting with their tea.
"Ohayou, Misao-chan." Kaoru greeted warmly.
"Ohayou." Misao smiled. But try as she might, her eyes
showed her gloom.
"Is everything alright, Misao-dono?" Kenshin asked,
sensing Misao in dilemma.
She blinked rapidly at Kenshin, "Hai, hai. Everything's
fine." Her smile wider than before.
"Give him time, Misao." Okina said, then looked at her
knowingly, "He'd been through a lot. But I believe that he will heal
faster if you kept on smiling for him."
Misao looked at Okina, his olden cheerful gaze
persuasive enough to heighten her hopes once again, "Hai, I'll do
that."
Would mean everything to me
If you spend a little time
Could you give in to me with
The least resistance
A "Ohayou, Misao" would be nice. Or maybe a little
nod. It would even be just enough for me if he'd look my way
knowing that I'm there. Oh, Aoshi-sama. What am I going to do
with you?
Misao was sitting on the opened window, her legs
folded in front of her as she leaned lazily on the sturdy frame. As
she contemplated with her thoughts, she absently watched a
couple walking down the expansive yard of the Aoiya.
"Kenshin, are you sure it's okay for you to walk? You
might stress yourself." Kaoru's concerned voice floated up to
Misao's perch, followed by Kenshin's polite tone.
"Hai, de gozaru. I'm fine. Besides, I need the exercise.
Would you like to have a walk with me, Kaoru-dono?"
"Of course, I'd love to."
If I'd wish for something like that from Aoshi-sama, then
I'm asking for the heavens. Misao ruefully smiled, but her heart
tugged with envy as she gazed down on the unaware couple. But
how I wish for something like that, she sighed for the hundredth
time.
I don't care
I would do anything, to be near you
I would go anywhere, to be near you
For the next three mornings, Misao held her patience
like a life line. Seeing Kenshin healing fast, she felt relieved. But
her thoughts would always lead her to another person, who had
somehow exiled himself in the four walls of the temple. When will
he heal?
Three women were sitting peacefully by the opened
shoji door, each taking hold of a cup of tea.
"Oh, dear. It seems to be raining." Okon exclaimed as
she looked outside.
"I'm so glad I already took the laundry inside--Misao!
Where are you going?" Omasu called out, noticing that the girl
was already running through the hallway.
"Aoshi-sama! He's at the temple, he might need an
umbrella!" Misao called back, already running out of the
compound, two umbrellas at hand.
She ran the hundred steps leading to the temple, and
panted heavily once she reached the top. The rain was still
pouring, although already lighter than before. She sat in front of
the heavy doors of the temple and decided to wait outside, not
wanting to bother Aoshi's meditation. Shaking the used umbrella,
she placed both beside the steps and watched the rain shower
over the town. Folding her legs, she rested her chin on her
updrawn knees.
Smile for him everyday? Hm, it's a start. I may not be
patient, but for Aoshi-sama... I'll do it then. It won't be hard, I do it
all the time!
Suddenly, the rain stopped as rapidly as it came.
"Mou!" Misao stood up, pouting. But her dismay
vanished as a rainbow appeared across the sky. She smiled
rather sheepishly, "Oh well, so much for the rain."
She picked up the umbrellas and started walking,
skipping lightly as she avoided the puddles that formed during the
shower.
There's still hope, I guess.
Unknown to her, a certain man also noticed the rainbow,
and saw her. A small smile found its way to his lips.
And there is hope, after all.
To be near you
I would do anything, go anywhere,
I don't care, I would do anything, anything
Just to be near you......
