Sorry if this is a little rushed and bad, it's my first. I do not own
Rurouni Kenshin, but I give my compliments to the person who does.
Best Friends Forever
Chapter 1
"Married! To whom? When? Why? How long?" Misao yelled frantically at her parents, demanding answers. She was 17 years old, and her parents had just told her she was betrothed to someone!
"You have been betrothed to him all your life. His name is Himura Kenshin. The wedding will be in a month." Her father told her standing up in the process. He walked over to her and clasped her hands, holding them tightly. It was around 7:00 at night and she could see the sun setting in the horizon.
"The Himura's are wonderful people who have been great friends of your mother and I for many years, even before you were born." She wrenched her hands away and fled the room, tears streaming down her face. She heard her father calling her, but ignored him as she ran down the hall and out the front door.
She kept running, not paying attention to where she was going, until she was jerked back by someone yanking on her shirt. She spun around.
"Aoshi!" She wrapped her arms as far as they would go around her best friend and broke down, sobbing. She sank to the sidewalk, taking him with her. After a few minutes he scooped her up, one arm going under her back and the other under her knees. Hers went around his neck.
He took her to his house and up to his room, closing the door and setting her on the bed. He kneeled in front of her and pushed her hair out of her eyes.
"What's wrong, Misao?" Sniffling, she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
"M-my parents say I have to get married in a month! To a guy I've never even met before! I'm only 17, and I had plans for my life!"
Aoshi listened to her until she was finished, not interrupting once. Afterward he got up and walked out the room, coming back with a wet washcloth. He sat down next to her and turned her to him, dabbing her eyes with the cloth.
"Who is the man you are supposed to marry?"
"Himura Kenshin."
"Hmm." She caught his hand in hers, forcing him to stop what he was doing.
"What do you mean, hmm? Do you know him?" He sighed and sat down next to her on the bed, facing her.
"I've met him once or twice. He's a good friend of my cousin Soujiro's. Last time I heard he had a girlfriend, Kaoru, so I don't think he's to happy about this either." He sighed again and picked up the wet washcloth and started dabbing at her eyes again, seeing as they were all red and puffy.
"What is he like?" Misao asked him, trying to dodge the washcloth to get a good look at her best friend. Aoshi sighed again and put the washcloth down.
"I told you, I've only met him once or twice. I don't really know all that much about him-" He was cut off by the sound of his phone ringing. He got up and went into the hall to answer it. A few minutes later he came back into the room and knelt in front of her.
"That was your dad. He says you can stay over here tonight, but you have to go home tomorrow. You're going to meet Himura-san tomorrow." Misao nodded and looked around. Everything was neat, as usual.
"Do you have any clothes I can wear to sleep in?" He smiled and nodded,
"Aa."
He went to his closet and pulled out a large black T-shirt. Then he went to his dresser and got out a pair of boxers. He threw them at her.
"I know how much you hate sleeping in pants." She just nodded and quickly changed out of her real clothes and into his. They were such good friends that they weren't embarrassed about changing in front of each other. She lay down on his bed and got under the covers, watching him go to the light switch.
"Good night, Misao." He turned off the light and turned to go.
"Aoshi?" He turned around and looked at her.
"I really need to be comforted right now. Please stay with me!" She could see his outline coming toward her. He got on the bed and lay down beside her, on top of the covers.
"Goodnight, Misao." He put his arm around her waist and hugged her, leaving his arm there.
"Good night, Aoshi. Thank you." She fell asleep.
I will try to make the next chapter longer!!! Please review!!!
