Hello minna! Here's my fanfic on our favorite R.K. couple AxM (well, mine anyways). Yes, I know, my fic is not what one would describe as original. well, I can't help it, I guess I'm not very creative. Anyways, the first chapter is the flashback when they Aoshi's around 10 years old. I'm sorry if it seems a little OOC. Oh well, hope u guys enjoy reading it n pls R&R

Disclaimers: No matter how hard I wish Aoshi, Misao and the Oniwabanshu dun belong to me.. well maybe except for the extra chara like Miyuki. so dun sue me (side's I'm broke!)

Chapter 1

I looked around quietly as everyone ran back and forth. Bump. "Oh, can you please sit at that corner quietly like a good little boy, Aoshi-chan?" "What's going on?" I asked curiously as I had no idea why everyone was panicky. "Well, Okashira's daughter is in labor, so can you please not block the passage way?" The old lady pushed me to one side. "But I want to help." The old lady smiled at me. "Well, I guess you can be a help. Here's what, you can help by fetching us some clean towels." Nodding, I ran to the room where I knew there are plenty of clean towels.

Hours flew past before a sound of a baby's wail rang the room. "Ah, Makimachi-san, congratulations. You have a new baby girl." I heard them talk in the room. I found it exceptionally interesting as this was the first time a baby was born in our head quarters. Excited, I slid into the room. At first I couldn't really spot the baby as there were lots of people, women especially, fussing around, congratulating the Okashira's daughter-in-law. Just then I bumped into someone, around my age. "Aoshi! You're not supposed to be here! This is only for girls! No boy's allowed." Okon glared at me. "Why not? Makimachi-san's a boy too isn't he?" Just then I heard a giggle. "That's alright Okon-chan. Let him be." I stuck out my tongue at the little girl in victory. "Come here, Aoshi-chan. Do you want to see the new member to our clan?" The lady, Miyuki Makimachi called me over as I trotted towards here and looked at the little white bundle she was holding. "Aoshi, this is my daughter, Misao." I looked at the tiny head popping out of the covers in awe. I reached out my hand to touch her but stopped halfway. "Can I?" I asked innocently as she nodded. I stuck my finger but suddenly, Misao's little fingers grabbed it. It was shocked but later relaxed as I saw her eyes looking at me. It was then I knew I had fallen in love with the little girl.

2 months later.

Once again, people were running around. Only this time, I knew what was happening. The Oniwabanshu were under attack. Just then an arrow flew past my head but due to my fast reactions, I ducked it. "Okashira, our first level of defense is down. Some of the enemies have entered our fortress." Just then, I sensed that someone was hiding in the shadows, so I took out my kunai and pinned him down. "Good work, Aoshi." The Okashira praised me as he pointed his katana at the intruder's neck. "State your business." The ninja clad in black kept silent before Okashira slashed his head. "Okashira, we're out numbered. We have to evacuate immediately." Okina gave the Okashira the current state of our clan. "Alright, inform everyone to evacuate."

We were running as Okashira and his son tried to hold them off. Just then Misao started crying. "Shh. dear. Please, not now." Miyuki begged as she tightened her grip around the small bundle. The falling snow wasn't helping much either. Just then, I sensed that we were being tailed. Un fortunately, I only had a few kunais and a pair of kodachi left with me. I threw one at the follower and it got his arm. What I didn't realize was that we were surrounded. Just then, Miyuki thrust Misao into my arms. "Aoshi-chan, I trust you to protect her." "But.." "This is the only option we have left. Now at my cue, go run as fast as you can while I try to hold them back." I nodded unwillingly. It was then, they came out from their hiding place. "Now!" with that, I ran as hard as I could without looking back, but I heard the enemies falling one by one. Suddenly, a person stood in front of me. "Where do you think you're going boy?" the man smirked. In a lightning speed, I took out my kodachi with my free hand and slashed his head. Guess he had underestimated me.

The whole night, as I sat on a thick branch, away from all the blood, Misao slept soundly, as she sucked my little finger. I watched her sleep peacefully without any idea of what just happened. I knew then that I would never want such an innocent child get involved in the brutal reality. From then on, I had myself proclaimed as her protector. Just then, her wide ocean blue eyes opened and looked at me. Then, she squealed happily. She was the only joy I had in my life. I knew at that time, I was addicted to those ocean blue eyes.
