Petals of Life
Petals of Life: Chapter 1
All is deadly quiet in Kyoto. It's a new day the beginning of spring, and the birds are chirping near the temple. If one were to look inside they would see a man meditating. All the while not hearing the commotion going on just outs-
"AOSHI-SAMA, AOSHI-SAMA!" cried Misao slamming all the shojis in the Aoiya.
"Misao calm down. He is just at the temple,"
"Oh, hehehe…"
"Misao yo-" Okon never had a chance to finish the sentence after hearing a sharp snap of a shoji door and the distant rattle of a tea set, "Misao? What would we do without her here to liven the place up?"
"That Misao is really something isn't she? Without her this place would be…well quiet," stated Shiro finishing his breakfast.
"Yes Shiro we all know that…I just wonder: Does Aoshi see really how precious our little Misao has become," said Okina.
"Hmm…" said Shiro and Okon.
The path to the temple
Misao Pov.
Aoshi-sama, does he realize that I have grown up? I know I have filled out quite a bit over the 2 years since he has been back but still he is just acting the same. I wasn't expecting for him to just come out of the blue and tell his undying love for me and we living happily ever after. Still through the past 2 years our relationship has stayed at a minimum. With me just bringing his tea everyday to the temple except when it is raining then it's at the Aoiya, and us just training together every once in a while and that is it!
Hmm…I have tried to stop loving him though I can't. I wish I could tell him that I will love him forever and for always but it just sounds so wrong, so immoral. Whenever I think about it I always back off thinking of "what ifs". What if he says he doesn't feel the same? Then what?
Wait! Get a grip on yourself! I'm Misao I'm the leader of the Oniwaban Group! I will just go tell Aoshi I love him and if he doesn't feel the same, then it's his loss.
"Here goes nothing," said Misao as she walked up the temple steps and knocked on the shoji door to his room while balancing the tea tray.
"Misao," said Aoshi's deep commanding voice allowing her to enter.
God I love his voice. Ahh! Misao keep it together now stay cool!
Aoshi Pov.
Misao. What is that look in her eyes? It looks like fear and something else. Me? Does she fear me? Has she finally understood what I really am?
"A-Aoshi…sama," said Misao almost dropping the tea tray on the floor.
"Hmm…" said Aoshi through now closed eyes.
"Ah…" trembled Misao while putting the tray down in front of Aoshi while she sat down too in front of Aoshi.
"Misao…your lip is bleeding."
Misao felt her lip with her trembling hand, "Ah… so it."
"Misao is something wro-"
Misao pov.
"No!" yelled Misao in a piercing scream. It is now or never. Come on Misao be brave! Her courage seemed almost false… "Aoshi, I have something so…something to tell you…"
"What?" he asked as he opened his eyes; his eyes were filled to the brim with a mixture of curiosity, apprehension, and suspicion. His piercing eyes made her question her bravery and determination for a moment. She took a deep breath. That is all it took to lose his eye contact.
Nothing not even a question of "what's wrong?" That is it! I have had it! "Aoshi! Look at me! I h-have cried day and night waiting for the day that you would finally return to us. Haven't you seen what's been happening around you?"
"Misao stop-"
"Stop what! Acting childish? Ridiculous? What!"
"This is child's talk. You're acting like a child." Aoshi's eyes held cool and firm like ice.
" M-me…ME? Aoshi maybe you haven't noticed, but you're the one acting childish!" her voice was tinged with irritation and frustration. Her eyes now filled with determination.
"Misao?" he asked.
"Have you noticed everyone around you has grown in their own way? The only one who hasn't grown is you! I have waited impatiently for the day that you would too grow. But I don't even know if what I have been waiting for will come. You are so blind that you can't even see that I have,"
"Enough I am not blind to what is around me…I chose just not to react on what I see," Aoshi said in retort, and something in his voice made it sound final or maybe it was his almost icy stare.
"I see so…" I knew it…I have been waiting for something that wasn't going to happen. He knew all a long how I felt for him…"Aoshi, I-I…" A lone tear fell from her cheek. When she looked up, all that could be seen, all the happiness, the determination that was once in her eyes, was gone. Distraught. "Love you," then she was gone. The only thing left in the room was a man and a tray of tea; that maybe was going to be the last time given by the one that loved him the most.
Aoshi Pov.
What have I done? I have hurt her again that is what I have done. Should I go aft-…no it was her choice to tell me and she should have known she was getting into. I'll explain to her later what I meant…and how I feel. Do I even know how I feel for her? What I said I know she misunderstood. Why did have to say that…I will straighten this out when I get back to the Aoiya or when I see Misao.
"Misao..." My whole relationship with her may depend on the next time I see her. Do I actually love her? Can I stand to let her go to some other man? Could I live without her and without her love? Can I actually give what she needs? Am I pure enough for her? Every thing counted on the next encounter their lives and their love for each other.
