How to write the perfect Aoshi and Misao romance
Trouble

Oh no I see…
I've spun a web, it's tangled up with me.

Aoshi looks at Kenshin, his eyes finally awake to reason. He knows, as he closes his deep blue eyes to ponder, he has done enough.

And I lost my head
The thoughts of all the stupid things I said


His guilt slowly rises as he remembers everything he has spoken. That all this trouble was all for them, for his comrades, his best friends. Although now, as Himura's words spins in his head… was it really for them or was it just for a title he wanted to keep to himself?

The greatest… the strongest…

Oh no, what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle


Stupid, Aoshi thinks. For the leader of the oniwabanshuu, what he has done was unforgivable. He didn't know how to face them. Especially her.

The air is still and everything seems darker. What have I done, Aoshi ponders, reminding himself of the evil that he trapped himself in.

I turned to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done


Aoshi found himself weak, strained… worthless. He definitely did not deserve it. Not after all the things he has done. The pain he has caused, and the lives he has taken.

He has stained a noble title given to him with such trust and loyalty. He has disgraced them, and he definitely didn't deserve to be there…

… but then… Aoshi wonders… can there be a place for forgiveness?

I never meant to cause you trouble
And I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble
O no, I never meant to do you harm



The moon shines bright, the wind blowing his bangs off his face. Aoshi still feels as though he walks in dark corridors as he remembers what he has done to Okina. How he disappointed his master, how he failed the man's hopes and dreams.

Oh no, I see
A spider web and its me in the middle


Aoshi walks on, finding himself in corridors he has grown familiar with.

Home, he thinks… Aoiya is my home… or is it?

So I twist and turn
Here am I in love in a bubble


Aoshi looks up.

There they were, his family, his home. Smiles, tears, joy, emotions surrounded him as he finds himself engorged in their kindness.

He sees her, with arms open wide as she calls his name. He stood motionless as he looks at her, remembering what Himura said about how much he had caused her pain. And how much trouble he had caused her.

"Misao."

Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,
I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble
Although I never meant to do you harm


Aoshi feels her lithe arms wrap around his waist, her face hardly pressed to his chest as she weeps in happiness in seeing him home.

"You're home Aoshi-sama... you're home..." He hears her whisper as he embraces her close to him, overpowered by her love.

"Gomen Misao… gomen…"

They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
