Hi! This was my first fic ever. So it might sound a bit different from the ones I usually do. Actually this one could be considered humor. You'll find out on later chapter. Hope you like it! And review, 'kay?
My dreams only come when it's raining
chapter 1
Misao looked out the window once again. It was still raining very hard! It had been like that for three days now and it never stopped! She was starting to feel her body craving for exercise! The Aoiya had been almost dead those days, because when it rained like that everybody stayed at home.
But that wasn't the worst thing. The thing that transformed Misao's last days into a nightmare was Aoshi's departure, for a mission. He had went to Osaka to meet with a contact and hadn't returned after a week there. They received word that he was ok, that the business was going to take more time and work then what they had first expected. Misao could barely wait to see him again!
Not that their relationship had evolved much those past months, but she thought he was finally warming up a bit! The last month he had even had four or five breakfast with the others, instead of being locked up in that room until it was time to go to the temple. He still didn't talk much and he still pretty much watched everyone like he was measuring their strength.
Then, two weeks ago, a letter had come to him and to Okina, which they didn't care to tell her, even tough she was the Okashira! The next day, at one of those breakfasts, he said he was going to investigate a prier contact of them.
And that rain! It never stopped! If only she could have left the house to practice outside, she would have her head distracted for some hours, but she couldn't! So she just kept bagging her head on the same subject, the ever present subject: Aoshi-sama. As it was known, absence makes the heart grow fonder…
She didn't like him traveling in that rain, even tough he was an experienced ninja, she still worried over him. He had the habit of doing unnecessary things, just for his job. The thought of him walking in the rain, just to deliver to report as soon as possible, was very acceptable. He could easily get sick.
"Aoshi-sama, be careful."
Aoshi looked at the trail. Someone was talking about him, his ears were burning up.
'Come on, Aoshi, the weather isn't getting any better!'
He was beginning to regret not having stayed at Osaka, at least until the rain calmed up a bit. Now he was half way to Kyoto, drenched and…
"Atchooo…"
And with the flu to! 'Slick, very slick Aoshi.' In a normal day he would do the path to Kyoto in a
day, two at most, but the weather like it was, he was already going to the third day! His contact's wife had invited him to stay at their house, but he had to say no, since he wanted to return has soon as possible. Now he looked like he was going to arrive at though he had stayed in Osaka, or even later!
He just kept on walking, that would heat him up… he was freezing! His teeth clattered, his hands were shaking and he could feel his heart palpitating. He was shivering all over!
'Great! I bet now I'm with a fever. If Misao knows about this, when I get home, I won't get rid of her!'
The thought of being put to bed and being taken care by Misao wasn't all that displeasing, but he was the worst patient a doctor could hope for. He hated staying in bed, even tough it provided a lot of time to think, but those days he didn't had any problem finding time to think.
He had the whole day to do it! He would go to the temple and he would only stopped when Misao came with the tea and they talked a bit. Those minutes were a kind of a break on his search for peace and tranquility. He had grown very fond of those tea ceremonies, he had discovered that on that trip, when started catching himself thinking about her…
"Atchooo…"
Aoshi quickened his step. It was already very late in the night, according to the moon position. Maybe he could get there some time in the next morning.
Ok, I was just in the bus when a idea popped into my head: how did Aoshi behave when he was a little kid and had to stay in bed? Better: how would he behave having to stay in bed with Misao taking care of him, as an adult?
I don't like to make fics that go on and on, because then I lose the flow, so I'm planing on making this as short has possible.
Comments would work fine, please. And some ideas how to tie Aoshi to his bed would be welcomed to. :)
Thanks for reading. :)
Bye
