Comging Back Home.
'I really don't know how I'm going to face everyone...it's been...damn I can't even really remember how long it's been...' Aoshi thought as he sat down on his flight seat next to the window. Aoshi imediatly looked out, at everything he was leaving behind...to return to a place he thought he had left behind long ago.
-START~FLASH~BACK-
10 Years Earlier
"What will we do with Aoshi Okina?" Okon asked the old man worriedly in the kitchen of their small Inn in Kyoto Japan. She was prepairing breakfest for a pair of clients staying at the Inn, while Okina just sat infront of a small table eating grapes. "I'm very worried about him... he's so distant from everyone, the teacher has called us in many times...they feel we should...well...get help...for him..."
"Nothing is wrong with Aoshi Okon my dear, he is just going through a stage in his young life that not even he can understand... just give him time, and you and everyone will see... he shall bloom to be the best at everything...I bet even at getting the ladies!" Okina said as his face got all red, and imaginations of sexy women in skimpy outfits floating around him.
"PERVERT! Geez! An old geezer like you shouldn't be thinking that way!" Okon said wanting to smack the old fool.
"I'm still very young at heart! As young as Aoshi's!" Okina screamed for all to hear, Okon could only sweat drop and bowing her head to their customers walked as quickly away as her simple blue kimono would allow. Okina had been wearing a long white bath robe.
"Mmmm BAGH! WHATEVER! I'm still young! Now to go to the la'deis!" While saying the last incorrect word he stripped himself of his white bath robe to reveal...nothing...
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Screamed a loan woman, horrified she fainted there in the doorway.
Okina imediatly looked down, and covered up 'Oops...could've sworn I put on my new Speedos!' Looking everywhere, Okina ran for it before he was caught in the seen of the crime. Not realising that a young boy, with jet black long hair and deep ice blue eyes dressed in a plain black T Shirt and short pants and sandals, of 16 had been watching from the garden, which had a great view into the large window that the kitchen had.
'So now I have problems?' That just pissed Aoshi off. "If that's the case then I'm leaving this place! Nobody understands me! Nobody can just respect me and just leave me alone!" Aoshi got up and quickly kicked a rock into the bushes.
"Ouch! owwwyyy that hut Aoshi-CHAN!" Aoshi looked up quickly to see his little friend Misao scramble out of the bushes, she had a bloody knee. To Aoshi it was a rather cute sight to see little Misao in her yellow sunflower dress and white sandals with dirt colored legs and her knee with
the small wound.
"I'm sorry Misao...I didn't see you there...come here lets get that checked before it gets infected, and we'll have to amputate your leg" Aoshi smirked as he saw her quickly look up with fear. Misao was an adorable 6 year old, with jet black hair in a small braid, how she liked it, and
gorgeously big grass green eyes, with a short temper and height, who recently moved in permanently into the Aoiya with her parents both new workers for the Aoiya Inn, as soon as she had laid her eyes on him she was everywhere he was, at first he hated it, but then he decided
it didn't really matter, as long as he could train her to be usefull. At first it was fun, but when he realized her devotion to him he stopped asking her to do his chores.
Aoshi extended his hand which she took quickly and he led her to the steps leading from the garden to the inside. The Aoiya was your tipical large Meiji Era Japanese house, constantly being fixed now a days to be able to withstand anything coming its way. They went into the kitchen and Aoshi picked Misao up and put her on the table next to the bowl of grapes, he searched in the cabinets and found the kitchen's First Aid Kit.
He began to clean her small knee scrape, not once did she wince in pain or fear of pain, she was a strong little girl.
"Are you really planning on leaving me Aoshi?" Aoshi's eyes widened at the seriousnes of her tone, and the question. Usually she would add the Chan to annoy him. Aoshi hid his blue eyes behind his long bangs.
"Why should I stay? Nobody respects me-" Aoshi stopped because of having to dodge Misao's uninjured leg headed straight for his head, which was easy for him since Misao was pretty short.
"I respect you!" She jumped off of the table and staired up into the blue eyes of the boy she admires so much. She felt unwanted tears about to show up. "You only think about yourself! Don't I count?"
"Yes you do! You count more than me! Everything is about you! You! You! YOU!" Aoshi towered over the small child, a furious face upon him, but that didn't scare the little girl. Misao turned and jumped on the chair, and once again on the table to tower over Aoshi.
"You don't care about the people who care about you! Who take care of you! You make everyone worry! Your just a big...MEANY!" Misao yelled into his face.
Aoshi grabbed her by the shoulders tightly and lifted her up. Looking up into her green eyes he said. "I don't CARE! About anything! or Anyone! So hurry and get that through your stupid little head! I hate it here! And when I get the chance I'm LEAVING! And I won't look back, nor will I ever, ever, EVER come back!" With that he dropped her to the ground, landing in a large 'thud' and an 'ouucchh!'
Misao got on her knees and rubbed her back and screamed back at Aoshi's retreating self. "LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK! I HATE YOU AOSHI! FOR EVER!"
That just annoyed Aoshi more, he quickly went to his room and locked himself inside, pushing his nighstand infront of the door so it couldn't be opened. Aoshi could hear the mess of people, customers complaining about the ruquss (?) He could hear Misao's parents trying to calm her down, and the inevitable knocks of anger at his door, which he ignored, at one point he yelled back, but realized he would be better off just turning on his laptop and putting on his headset and loud music as he searched bus lines leaving kyoto that night.
At 12:12AM Aoshi sat at the Bus station with his bags of all his clothes, and all his money in his pockets, good thing he was a waiter at the Aoiya's Cafe and he had tips saved up for 3 years.
Aoshi got on the bus and sat on the window seat, looking at everything he was leaving behind, and he hoped to never return to. He would make a new life for himself wherever he ended up, and he would forget all about this.
-END~FLASH~BACK-
Aoshi jumped in his seat as he opened his eyes to realize he had fallen asleep. It had been years since he had dreamt about his last day at the Aoiya...and about her. He sighed and rubbed his eyes, looking up he saw a nice flight atendant with a kind smile, she was what had made him jump awake from his sleep. He just stared at her. Realizing now he was more awake she repeated herself for the fourth time.
"We landed about ten minutes ago sir, your the last abord" She smiled again, looking around, Aoshi did the same and saw indeed they were the last two. Aoshi apologyzed and sat up, she moved away and he grabbed his stuff, thanking them as he got off the plane. Boy was he tired. He had chosen a tireing life, away from his tireing childhood.
Aoshi got to his suitcase, which was very easy since it was the last one going in a circle, and quickly went outside to flag down a Taxi.
"To the Aoiya Inn please" Aoshi said as he got into the taxi. The kind man who had helped him put his suit cases in the trunk turned to look at him with an okward face. "What?" Asked Aoshi... he had almost been scared to ask.
"You mean Aoiya?"
"Yes...Inn"
"Boy that hasn't been called the Aoiya Inn since..." He paused to think. "Well since the original owner died and left the Inn in the hands of one of his most trusted employees... that was about... 8 years ago... now the Aoiya has been...well you'll see" The old man smiled at Aoshi, completely missing the destroyed look on his clients face and started the car.
Aoshi felt destroyed...Okina...had died... two years after he left... had it been...his fault? Now he felt he shouldn't go... he pulled out his cell phone and turned it on, recieving a whole bunch of text from the friends he's made these last years, good friends...real friends, friends
who forced him to return to were he belonged...
Kenshin: Hope your flight is a steady one, remember to breath. Kaoru says 'to remember to buy flowers'
Aoshi smirked, Kaoru was Kenshin's wife, Aoshi had been the best man, Kenshin had been his first friend who even gave him a place to stay when he first got to Tokyo.
(AN: coughMegumicough!)
FoxLady: have a gr8 flgt! XoxO! ;p
Sagara: Dude did Megs really send you hugs and kisses? =/ grrr
'Geez what a great text Sano' Aoshi thought as he began texting Kenshin about his flight and new found information. He was going to continue but he began looking out the window, seeing so many memorable places, most everything changed, but only in a modern version of what it used to be. He got lost in the sights, and then suddenly they were before a great white entrance decorated with many Cherry Blossom tree's and in simple gold lettering the words 'Aoiya'
Aoshi's mouth fell open. They entered and first thing they were in a golf field. Aoshi could see about 8 different fields, small old school yet high end Japanese houses lined up. As they got closer to the main building he saw the garden, it was bigger, a million times bigger, they were quickly at the entrance where workers opened his door and welcomed him to the Aoiya, another helped the driver pull out his suit cases, Aoshi quickly rememberd to pay the taxi and told him to keep the $20 extra. He sped off happily.
"What...happend to the Inn?" Aoshi asked himself as he looked at the giant entrance. The Aoiya had become a resort, and a heck of a fancy one at that. Aoshi walked in with his suit cases and he realized he had entered the Aoiya Inn center comunal area...which before was an inner garden, well that was all that was really left of the Inn.
An employee walked up to him and waited for Aoshi to notice him when he realized Aoshi had not he cleared his throught, catching Aoshi's attention.
"This was once the main of the Aoiya Inn, now turned into the check in and the suvenier store. Everything else was cleared to make the original garden bigger. The new owner's have done so much for the comunity that many old men with no family gave their land to the new owner to help grow the Aoiya into what it is today. Everybody who you knew...still work here" The boy smiled at Aoshi and quickly turned and walked away, leaving a stunned Aoshi.
He slowly turned and headed towards the check in. Once that was done an employee took his suit cases and asked Aoshi to follow him, outside there was a line of golf carts, he put Aoshi's bags into one and got behind he wheel, waiting for Aoshi to sit next to him. Once on the boy kindly asked Aoshi for his room number, once the information was known off they went.
Aoshi looked around astounded, at the large pools and parks, large buildings that were suites, more gardens and childrens parks, recreational buildings a large lake that went through everything with family's kayaking and such, and small individual houses.
"Who are the owners?" Aoshi asked the smileing boy.
"Well hello as well mister, my name's Seta Soujiro, and yours?"
"..." Aoshi felt annoyance for the boy who just ignored his question, the boy just smiled and didn't seem like he would answer his question. "My name is Aoshi Shinomori...pleasur"
"Pleasure is all mine Mr. Shinomori. Well answering your question, the owners are Hiko Makimachi and his wife Misao Makimachi" (AN: Buajajaja indeed it is exactly who you think it is! Hiko-SAMA!)
Aoshi raised his eyebrows...Misao Makimachi...? TBC!
