Rurouni Kenshin: The Missing Piece

Disclaimer: Do Not Owe RK! It's been awhile since I've written RK, so no flames! Anyways, here it is...

----------

It's been days and weeks, but soon, it turn into months. Shinomori Aoshi terribly misses Makimachi Misao, it's been four months since she had left the Aoi-ya to go and help out the Kenshin group back in Tokyo who had yet once again gotten into a situation where they needed some ninja's as Misao had gotten there in time with Omasu and Okan.

Aoshi wanted to go with the girls as well to protect them with all his cause, but Okina had stopped him since this was a job for Misao and she had to be experienced with it if she wanted to be the leader of the Oniwaban group. Aoshi sighed as he sat inside his quarters, the dojo was quite quiet without his beloved Misao by his side.

Aoshi blinked in realization as he thought about Misao. He shook his head, Misao was still ten years younger then him and she could find a suitable man for herself then he. Even though, deep inside, he knew that, Misao was still in love with him even when he was thirty-years-old and she was twenty-years.

Aoshi stood up where he was sitting as he looked for Okina as he was sitting at the main house. "Aoshi, this better not be about Misao again," he said as Aoshi stopped dead in his tracks as he stared at the old man's back for a moment, "Misao we'll be here soon enough. I just gotten a letter from her just now," Okina said as he stood up and gave the letter to Aoshi for him to read.

Dear grandfather!

Hopefully you are doing fine even though I know you are since yet again, your probably looking at the young girls in the village huh? We just defeated the enemires who were trying to steal medicine from villagers in the town we were. They were a group of bandits. We took them out just fine and just a minor injuries.

It wasn't I who gotten hurt grandfather! It was Yahiko, that little brat can't handle a wooden sword yet after four years. We just arrived at the dojo today and I should be coming back in about two weeks in case ninja's attacks Kenshin and the others unexpectedly since we were there.

You know that the Oniwaban group is popular among ninja's thanks to Aoshi and my father, huh? By the way, how's Aoshi? Hopefully his not reading this letter! If he is, I'll get you for that old man! I hope he found a lover of his own by now since I've been gone for so long.

The dojo is probably quiet since I've been gone for so long, huh grandfather? Well, we'll be bringing back gifts for the others and I hope you guys don't miss us so much! Even though I terribly misses Aoshi even though I secretly wanted him to come with us but you rejected.

I hate it when you do that grandfather. We'll be back soon! Regards to everyone there! Say my love to Aoshi! Love you grandfather!

"She's coming in for two weeks? Isn't that's a bit too long?" Aoshi asked as Okina nodded slowly, "I want you to bring her back by the end of the week. She's been staying with Himura more now then here," he said as Aoshi silently agreed in his mind. "Go and get Shiro and Kuro with you since they've been moping around doing nothing," Okina said.

Aoshi nodded slowly, "where are they?" He asked as Okina looked at him. "They should be at there quarters resting," he said as Aoshi nodded and he left.

"Hurray! I won my tenth match!" Misao cheered as she was standing in front of Yahiko who yet again, lost another sword battle to her as he glared at her angrily. "Now can we go back home Misao? If we don't get back in time, we'll miss the festival!" Omasu said, "it's too bad I can't ask master Hiko to come with us," Okan said pouting a little as Misao laughed nervously.

"Anou, I told grandpa that we'll be back in two weeks," she said as the two glared at her. "You did what?" Omasu and Okan asked angrily as Misao gulped, "I'll bet she's hiding from Aoshi again like last time," Yahiko said smirking as Misao glared at him deadly. "Good morning!" A voice called out as everyone looked at the front entrance.

Misao gasped and she saw Aoshi standing between Shiro and Kuro. "What are you guys doing here?" Misao asked angrily as Omasu and Okan sighed, "we came to pick you up. Okina is getting worried about you," Shiro said. Aoshi nodded slowly as he went towards her to give her the letter, "this is from Okina," he said as Misao opened it.

To My Dearest Misao,

when are you planning to come back home? I'm sure that Himura and the others are getting sick of you. I even entrusted Aoshi to pick you up. See Misao, I brought your sweetie for you. I hope that brings you a smile upon your lips. Just don't get in the way of everyone and come home.

Oh and bring me something expensive from Tokyo. Later!

-Okina

Misao growled as she smashed the paper together to crumbled it up. "All right then! We'll be going home!" Omasu said excitedly as Misao looked up at Aoshi slowly, "I'm not going back," she said quietly as everyone stared at her. "What? But Misao!" Okan began as Misao shook her head, "I'M NOT GOING BACK!" She yelled angrily as she ran off back to the dojo.

"What's up with her?" Sono asked blinking as Aoshi stared at her retreating form, Misao, he thought unhappily.
