What is Meditation?
Focusing ones thoughts on a single idea or object.
Aoshi sat at the temple meditating just like every other day. He was pondering, wondering thinking about the certain object he had an idea about. No, it is not: 'I want to be The Strongest. Must. Kill. Battousai.' It is or at least should be the most pondered, wondered about, and thought about question in the world. Does she like me? 'Ahh. Misao,' he thought focusing all of his thought and energy on her. On the way she threw her daggers, on the way she laughs. A smile crept up on his normally icy-calm face scaring the unfortunate Buddhist monk that happened to walk by at that moment.
Aoshi snapped back to reality. He removed the smile from his face once he noticed or rather felt the gaze of that monk. Aoshi never smiles! He gathered his thoughts back together again on her, but this time careful not to let his emotion run wild across his face like last time.
'She has a cute, rather plump smile... good for kis- Oh NO!! Can't have my thoughts go there in a temple!' Thought Shinomori, a blush creeping along his neck. 'Her indecent clothing lets one see her trim, well-formed muscles. I hope no other guys ever gawk at her! Maybe I should... nah, she can take care of herself with her trim, well formed... mmm... muscles. I bet she tastes sweet...'
He snapped once again back to reality because that 'tastes sweet' part reminded him that Misao had asked him to have tea with her and he would not be late -again- to have tea. Misao had also specifically asked for him to meet her for tea. Today. 'Misao... she really is beautiful. Well, I guess twelve hours of thinking about her is enough. Now I get to see her!' He thought giddily.
'Well, who said meditation was for religion or soul-searching was way off!' Aoshi thought as he stopped meditating about Misao and stood up to leave.
As he was leaving the temple he bowed to a monk that was always standing by the doors. "I see you are leaving early Shinomori-san."
"Yes," he answered back and that was all that was needed.
