Hi! I want to thank ALL OF YOU for the reviews :) thank you so much…so I'll keep writing and make things a little bit more complicated between those two haha

"What are you? A slave?" she asked insulted.
"Kind of" he answered and dared to say "But you don't see it either!"
"What! WHAT IS IT THAT I DON'T SEE!" she asked him and cleaned her eyes.
"I, You, well YOU MAKE ME HAPPY TOO!" he answered and it was his turn to clean her tears.
She looked at him awed; she couldn't believe what he'd just said. They looked at each other for a few seconds, but when Soujiro saw that Misao was planning on kissing him again, he broke eye contact. He couldn't let this happen.
"What is it this time?" she asked disappointed when he stopped looking at her.
"Miss Misao…" she knew something was wrong "We have to stop this…now that we can"
"WHAT!! WHAT IS IT WITH YOU! AM I SOME KIND OF TOY TO YOU?" she looked so mad she turned red and tears began filling her green sea eyes "I can't, you are right, we can't keep this going…my heart belongs to someone else and you are just not worthy of me"
"Not worthy of you?" he raised an eyebrow; he was so confused…he wanted to be with her but he knew he couldn't.
"YEAH! You are not worthy of me at all and I don't want to see you ever again" she said and looked at him "I don't even want to be with you right now, I'm leaving"
"Wait! Leaving?" he asked surprised, she was crazy.
"I am not 'leaving' I am just not sleeping anywhere near you!" she screamed and stood up "You may not see me tomorrow morning"
"Where are you going to sleep?" he asked worried "but what if you get lost?"
"None of your business" she answered in rage "and I won't get lost you idiot, I've been traveling all on my own for months"
"Well I hope to see you tomorrow, good night miss Misao" he said politely
"Whatever" she turned around and walked away from him.
What had just happened? It was going all perfectly! She was finally laughing with him. She was so weird, but she was right in some way, he had behaved really unfairly. He knew she liked her, but he couldn't do anything about it. He had so much ahead of him.
He fell asleep after thinking for some hours, but he woke up before the sun came up. He wanted to see her before she left.
'Where the hell could she go?'he asked himself after standing up and looking around. He began walking and screaming her name, but he got no answer.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
She cried all night long, it was too much. How could she be so stupid? She knew it was not good to get involved with him. When she woke up she looked around but didn't see Soujiro. She still wanted to see him but it was not healthy and she knew it.
She looked around but finally decided to stay seated, she could walk later. Now she was waiting for Soujiro to arrive, but one hour had already passed since she'd woken up and he still wasn't there. 'What if he doesn't come?' she started wondering, she didn't want to leave things the way they were yesterday! She had so much to say. But her thoughts were interrupted when she saw a shadow not far away from her. 'Who is…What? Hmm?'
"MISAO? MISAO?" he was screaming and looking everywhere for her…It was Soujiro.
"Soujiro?" she asked surprised "I was wondering how much time it would take you!"
"MISS MISAO? IS THAT YOU?" he frowned and walked towards her "MISS MISAO! Thanks God I found you! I've been looking for you for two hours already! I began thinking you left me!"
"That sounds like a good idea" she said and looked away, she was still mad at him.
"Thanks for not leaving me" he said sincerely and looked into her eyes. He could see she was mad.
"Whatever, let's keep walking I want to arrive" she said in a rude tone and stood up.
"Okay, I think it will take us two hours" he smiled and began walking.
"Great, I am hungry!" she said cheerfully and walked after him.
"We could stop to eat something" he suggested.
"Ha, yeah sure!" she said sarcastically and speeded up her pace.
They kept walking for two hours, and they were just about to arrive and they were both thinking about it. 'What if I don't get to see her anymore? Well I think that's better, she has changed me and I can't let that happen. I've become weaker now, Oh master Shishio will literally kill me'
Unlike Soujiro, Misao wanted to see him again. Even though she was so confused, she felt different without him. She had learnt to be around him, to enjoy his company and his kindness. But her heart had always belonged to Aoshi…but he hadn't even showed the slightest sign of attraction towards her! And Soujiro had already kissed her! It was all very confusing, but she knew that Soujiro was in a way better but impossible to be around.
They kept walking and walking, but Soujiro suddenly stopped and turned around to look at her. "We'll be there in ten minutes Miss Misao"
"Yeah so?" she asked unwillingly, she wanted to kiss him and hug him and everything related to affection.
"I just, well we won't see each other again" he said upset and looked down.
"It's not like I haven't heard that before, let's keep walking" she answered with all of her will power.
"I guess you are right" he said sadly, it was his entire fault.
They kept walking but out of nowhere Misao spoke "Wait! Soujiro! I don't want this to be over!" She couldn't bottle it up anymore.
'Shit, why did she say that?'he thought, it was getting complicated once more. "Miss Misao I've told you a thousand times, I can't be with you, who I am won't let me you've got to understand. I don't want to hurt your feelings again"
"I understand you haven't told me who you are" she answered "Well, let's keep walking…please just don't say anything."
He obeyed and kept walking, they now saw it. They had arrived and it was time to say goodbye. But that weren't his intentions, he was going to follow her and find Lord Aoshi. He felt so miserable, he was using her and he felt guilty. But it was what had to be done.
They were now walking down a road, restaurants and people around them. She knew it was time to leave him.
"I guess this is when we say goodbye" she said and looked down "Good luck on your search"
"Thank you Miss Misao, good luck on…" but he stopped talking when he felt Misao hugging him, crying.
"I'll miss you Soujiro, thanks for everything and I apologize for any trouble I was to you" she said in a weak voice. Was she, apologizing? It was he who had to apologize for everything.
He hugged her for a long time and said "I am sorry Miss Misao, I swear it is not you, it is me"
She looked at him and raised an eyebrow "How original" It was no time to be funny, but she had to say it.
"I know, but it is true" he laughed and gave her the last smile he thought he was giving her…he was wrong. "Goodbye"
"Take care" She said and cleaned her tears, but it did no good when Soujiro took his arms around her and walked away. It was so painful, she started crying again and he knew it but he didn't want to look back. Misao was in the past, he had to move on.
