Misao Makimachi tossed and turned on her bed. It was yet another sleepless night. She sighed and glanced at the grandfather
clock out near Omasu's room. It read
1:33 AM. This was it, she was
officially eighteen already. She has
dated so many guys before, but none matched Aoshi-sama. His suave movements, his deep and sexy
voice…all of them excited her so much…but she was still the little ten years
old girl he had left behind eight years ago to him.
Don't know if I should lick my wounds or say woe is me instead
And there's an aching inside my head
It's telling me I'm better off alone
But after midnight, morning will come
And the day will see if you will get
some~
Aoshi Shinomori shifted uncomfortably on
his futon. His mind was too clouded to
sleep. He had studied all day again,
and his butt ached like hell, but that was not what was preventing him from
going to sleep. It was a young girl, a
young girl just asleep in the next room…
She was so naïve, so innocent. She still didn't know what love was, her
crush on him was just what it was: a crush.
A stupid, immature crush that'll waste away as soon as she finds a
proper man, someone her own age. Heck
he was almost a whole ten years older than her!
So when she started going out with this
guy from across the street, he wished her best of luck in her love life,
ignoring the screaming pain in his heart as he watched the boy try to get
nearer to Misao. He watched thru his
window as the boy kissed her goodbye…and watched as she kissed back.
It was so painful, seeing her first kiss
taken away like that. Maybe he should
admit his feelings for her. Maybe…
~They say that girl ya know she act too
tough tough tough
Well, it's 'til I turn off the light,
turn off the light
They say that girl you know she act so
rough rough rough
Well, it's 'til I turn off the light,
turn off the light
And I say follow me follow me follow me
down down down down
'Til you see all my dreams
Not everything in this magical world is
quite what it seems ~
Misao shook her head furiously, trying to get the image of
Kiyoshi out of her head. The young man
had asked her out again tonight, and she turned him down. Not because he was ugly (he was quite
handsome, as a matter of fact), not because he was insensitive (he was so
nice), in fact, there was nothing wrong with Kiyoshi, as far as she can tell. But there was just something wrong with their
relationship. They were fine as
friends.
It was Aoshi she wanted, but she knew he
wouldn't agree to go on such a close relationship with her. He refused to even touch her only if it was
necessary. He was scared of girls.
She allowed herself a tiny smile.
Hai, the great Aoshi-sama was afraid of
girls.
~I looked above the other day
Cuz I think I'm good and ready for a
change
I live my life by the moon
If it's high play it low, if it's harvest
go slow, and if it's full then go
But after midnight, morning will come
And the day will see if you're gonna get
some ~
Aoshi sat up in his bed and sighed. This was stupid. Arguing with his brain about Misao. Okay, okay. He liked the
girl. He loved her. But she could never love him back. It just wasn't right.
He stood up to go relieve himself;
emotionally and physically.
Misao sat up abruptly, and cursed
angrily. I knew I shouldn't
have drank that much sake during dinner!
With a groan she pulled herself up and opened the screen door to go
to the restroom.
There was a dark shape emerging from
Misao's room. Aoshi squinted to make
out the shape. The figure seemed
unsteady. It was too bulky to be
Misao…then how??? With a growl Aoshi
launched himself on top of the figure and held its throat as it warbled.
"What did you do to Misao?" he said in a
soft and dangerous voice.
"A-Aoshi-sama!" the person choked
out. "I-I AM
Misao!"
"Nani?" Aoshi blinked.
"L-leggo!" Misao squeaked.
~They say that girl ya know she act too
tough tough tough
Well, it's 'til I turn off the light,
turn off the light
They say that girl you know she act so
rough rough rough
Well, it's 'til I turn off the light,
turn off the light
And I say follow me follow me follow me
down down down down
'Til you see all my dreams

quite what it seems ~
Aoshi let Misao down, terribly embarrassed. Now he knew why Misao looked so bulky. She was hugging a pillow in self-protection
as she made her way down to the outhouse!
He could kill himself for being so stupid.
"G-gomen nasai, Misao…" Aoshi mumbled,
turning red.
Misao grinned as she saw the tinges of
red blooming over Aoshi's cheeks. "It's
okay, Aoshi-sama. It's not everyday I
get jumped on by a handsome man." She gasped and covered her mouth. Now it was her who was turning red.
Aoshi smiled.
Misao's eyes widened. He…he smiled?
Aoshi reached out and took Misao's hands away from her
mouth. "And it's not everyday I get to
choke the throat of a goddess."
N-nani?
Misao could hardly believe her eyes as Aoshi stroked her
cheeks and softly applied a kiss on her neck.
She made a soft moaning sound as he kissed his way up to her lips.
Aoshi's arms encircled Misao's waist and
he pulled her in, kissing her more deeply and admiring her curves and shape
that was no longer a child's.
~I'm searching for things that I just
cannot see
Why don't you don't you don't you come
and be with me
I pretend to be cool with me, want to
believe
That I can do it on my own without my
heart on my sleeve
I'm running I'm running catch up with me
life
Where is the love I'm looking to find
It's all in me, cant you see, I can see,
why can't you see, it's all in me!~
They pulled apart, breathless.
Aoshi seemed to have just realized what
he had done and he now turning a brilliant shade of crimson. "Gomen nasai, Misao. Have a nice night." He turned to walk away,
face burning. But something inside
stopped him. He turned around.
Misao's face was streaked with tears.
"Misao!
What's wrong?" he asked worriedly as he hurried back.
"I-I thought you knew!" she choked
out. "I thought you finally
understood! Understood what I
felt! W-why…" she pushed Aoshi away
harshly, "Why can't you understand how much I love you????"
"M-Misao?" Aoshi was holding her again in his embrace,
holding a sobbing Misao against his strong chest. "I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…I never knew…"
"Of course you didn't!" Misao sobbed. "How could you? With the Oniwa Banshuu holding you up? With Hannya, Beshimi, and everyone else taking up your time? Even Okina gets more attention than I do!"
Aoshi felt as if thunder had just struck his heart. "Demo…Misao…I did know…"
"Huh?" Misao looked up, tears still streaming down.
"I did know how much I love you. I just never realized it until now."
~They say that girl ya know she act too
tough tough tough
Well, it's 'til I turn off the light,
turn off the light
They say that girl you know she act so

Well, it's 'til I turn off the light,

And I say follow me follow me follow me
down down down down
'Til you see all my dreams

quite what it seems ~
Misao took this all in.
"R-really?" she stammered.
"Really." Aoshi smiled again.
Misao broke into a smile. "Aishiteru, Aoshi-sama."
"Aishiteru, Misao-chan." Aoshi grinned,
"ready for that second kiss?"
~Where is your logic
Who do you need
Where can you turn in your delicate time
of need
Where is your logic
Who do you need
