I care
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters of RK, so please don't sue...blah blah blah
I should warn you that this ficcy explores some (new?) ground and has an interesting couple in it. I don't know whether there are other fics like this but if you should know one please let me know because I'd love to read it. I love those alternative couple thingy's or couplings with a new character in it.
And we're off...

Sano lay on his futon, staring at the ceiling. He had just woken up from a rather insinuating dream and was still trying to calm himself.
"Why are you haunting my dreams like this?" ,he grumbled "We fight all the time, yet I can't seem to get you out of my head...Sometimes you enervate me so much I wanna smack you you over the head, but then again, when you look at him with those beautiful eyes, filled with sorrow and grief because he doesn't notice you I just wanna to hold you close to me and promise you I'll never let go...Damn girl! Why do I need you so bad?"
He got up, got dressed and decided to take a walk to calm himself. He stepped out in the night air, the moon enlightened his path with a silvery glow. The leaves were whispering the things he 'd just dreamed about, which made his body heat rise once again, a blissful cool breeze brushed his skin, bringing some relief. And he just kept on walking in the woods near Kyoto.
Misao lay awake too, she had a bad feeling. Something wasn't right, she just knew it...
*Aoshi!*
She didn't know how fast she had to get up. She ran to his room to check on him, only to find that it was empty...
"No! It can't be!",she thought, but his stuff was gone...He was gone...
Misao felt tears burning, but she forced herself not to cry, she didn't want to wake the others especially not Kenshin, he needed his rest for he was still recovering from his wounds, so she ran outside into the night, not able to force back the tears anymore, they ran freely over her cheeks.
She reached the spot where she had run to every time she wanted to get away from it all.
(Remember the lake where Misao's at in the opening theme of ½?)
In the moonlight the little waves on the lake were shining and glittering as if the stars had fell into the water and were drifting on the surface. She sank to her knees, overcome by emotions and cried silently.
Meanwhile Sano had reached the lake too. He saw a young girl standing near the waterline. The girl's shoulders were shaking, as if she had been crying. His eyes narrowed, but then widened as he recognized her.
*Misao!*
He came closer, a twig snapped beneath his feet.
"Damn." a curse escaped his lips, he was hoping to approach her without being discovered.
Misao froze as she heard the twig snapping
*Someone's here!*
She turned around quickly.
"Who's there? Oh, Sano...It's you."she said, relaxing as she recognized the tall, spiky haired roosterhead.
"Yeah, what are you so jumpy about? And what are you doing here anyway?" Sano asked
"I should ask you the same question." Misao said, obviously avoiding his.
Sano came closer.
" I couldn't sleep...um...must have been something I ate...I went for a walk..."
He noticed the traces of tears on her face.
"Misao what's wrong?" He asked, unwillingly inserting a worried tone in his voice.
He tried to catch her eyes, but she avoided his gaze, instinctively...
She felt the tears fighting to get out again.
*I can't let him see me cry*
Sano noticed that she had it difficult, she looked so fragile, so vulnerable, he had never seen her like that.
"Damn you Misao, I know you've been crying, why won't you let me help you!"
He grabbed her wrist. Her eyes flashed up, she looked startled by his sudden reaction, so he let go again.
She was fighting the tears so hard, but she lost the fight and they started flowing again, now more then ever. She felt as if she'd never be able to stop.
Looking away from him, she was trying to hide them from him, but it was too late, he had seen them already.
Sano was shocked at the sight of seeing her cry. He made her face him again.
"Misao...don't cry, please, I didn't mean to make you cry...Gods, please..." he tried to calm her, not knowing what to say or do to make her feel better and suddenly he felt incredibly guilty.
"Aoshi...", Misao's voice was barely over a whisper.
"What?" Sano said looking at her, meanwhile trying to resist taking her in his arms and hug her ever so closely.
"Aoshi.He left...that's what's wrong...He just left, he didn't even say goodbye...not even a proper goodbye...I was a fool to think he even cared..."
Misao was getting more emotional by the minute. Her eyes were filled with pain, but also there was a fire flickering in them, she looked up at the tall man pounding her fists on his chest.
"You hear me? A fool! How could I think anybody could ever care for me? Tell me how?!"
At this point she almost looked bewildered, strands of her hair were hanging in her face and her tears were still flowing down her cheeks.
Sano grabbed both of her wrists tightly and made her face him.
"Now you listen to me! He's the cold-hearted icicle. You can't blame this on yourself! He's the loser, he's the one that left you and disappointed you, alright? And don't you dare say that nobody cares for you...I know tons of people that do care!"
He cupped her face in his hands "...I care...Please Misao, would you stop crying, it breaks my heart seeing you al worked up about somebody that doesn't deserve your tears..." He brought his face closer to hers and kissed the tears away " Please, Misao.Baby.Stop crying... Please..." Suddenly he realised his lips were gently brushing hers, he leaned in and gave into the kiss.
Misao's eyes flashed open. She pulled back from him and just stared at him, a glimpse of wonder in her eyes, then her gaze turned quickly to 'shocked'.
Sano looked down he coulnd't stand the look she gave him.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that...It was wrong..."*Damn, Sano, Couldn't you keep control for once in your miserable life*
Misao was thinking about everything and nothing at once. She wanted to run away, to find Aoshi... But also she wanted to stay and finish that kiss.
*God how I want to finish that kiss...What am I saying? I don't want that, I want to run and find Aoshi, he can't be far away...but...*
She raised her head to look at Sano, he was still examining the ground, afraid too see Misao's further reaction.
*Man I really screwed up bigtime, she'll never trust me again, way to go Sano...as if she wasn't confused enough as it is...*
Misao touched her lips softly, like Sano's lips had gently brushed hers only moments ago, then, all of a sudden, she smiled at the sight of Sano, not knowing how to give himself a proper attitude.
She moved closer towards him
*Misao! What are you doing?*
A voice raged inside her mind, telling her to stop and walk away, but she wasn't driven by her mind anymore, only by her instinct.
She took his hands and put them around her tiny waist again. Her gorgeous blue eyes met his deep brown ones, he looked surprised by this sudden action, not to mention totally shocked.
"Why would you be sorry about something that felt so right?" she asked and then she met his lips once again. Their heartbeats raised as they both surrendered to the kiss, that infinite kiss that lifted their spirits.
He dared to slip his tongue into her mouth,gently playing with hers.
His hands were running up and down her back, evoking a desire for him Misao had never experienced in her entire life, not even for Aoshi.
When they finally broke the kiss he just looked at her and she smiled back at him. He pulled her in a tight hug and stroked her hair.
"Misao, I love you so much, you don't know half the things you do to me"
He felt her smile against his bare chest
"I love you too, I just didn't realise it, so thank you..."
"Hey, anytime, hun!" he laughed.
They stood there enjoying each other's company for a while, from the bushes a tall man with ice blue eyes watched them...
Okay, okay I know it's farfetched; Sano and Misao probably annoy each other to death before they'd ever get together, but I just felt like doing something different from the others, okay? I just love alternative pairings, don't you?
Review please; I can always use some constructive criticism, so feel free to post. Please no BBQ-ing me.
