'.........she gripped her kodachi and swiftly moved towards Aoshi and Ryu.'

Chapter Ten: Forgive me

Can you forgive me again?


I don't know what I said,


But I didn't mean to hurt you.


Misao was coming towards their direction, what would she do now? Aoshi was just standing, waiting for her next move while Ryu was convinced that his words had penetrated her chaotic mind. All of a sudden she charged with great speed, so fast that her prey and the others were stunned, not for the fact that she was incredibly fast, but because she had decided to attack no other than him, no other than Aoshi.

Her kodachi was pressed against his neck and her glance was directed to the ground, either she didn't feel like seeing him when she slashed him, or she had something else in mind. Seconds seemed like an eternity for Aoshi and for Ryu. Ryu for his part was more than pleased to see his dear "weapon" direct her attack towards the desired target, now he would just stand there and enjoy the killing.

I heard the words come out,


I felt that I would die,


It hurt so much to hurt you,


When Aoshi was getting desperate due to Misao's silent state, and when minutes seemed like an eternity, words were finally spoken through her lips. "Why did you lie to me Aoshi?" she spoke in a low whisper. He knew that she would ask sooner or later, but instead of avoiding the question like he used to before, he intended to do things right once and for all. "I started to have feelings towards you, but you were too much for me. I had already 'lived' my life, and it was your turn because there was nothing left for me to live for, or so I thought until I fell in love with you. Believe me when I tell you that I was dying inside when I told you those horrible words, I was hurting too, however when you left I thought that maybe you would forget about me and have a better life, or so I thought. Till now I realize that you were broken to the point that you gave in to anything, even to unconsciously turn cold and stoic, just like me."

Then you look at me,


You're not shouting anymore,


You're silently broken.



I'd give anything now,


to kill those words for you.

She just started to shake and tears were slowly flowing from her blue eyes, eyes that even when hurt, were also recuperating their light. Aoshi continued because he knew this was his only chance of ever bringing her back to him, so he continued: "I would give anything to go back to that moment and erase all those things I said, however I know that is impossible and the least I can do now is to ask for your forgiveness."

Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you."


But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.

'Cause you were made for me,


Somehow I'll make you see,


How happy you make me.

"And I ask for your forgiveness because I don't want to lose you again. I want to be with you if you would allow me to. This is your decision to make for I know, I feel, that there are still feelings deep inside of you. I knew all this time you were made for me, you bring me happiness beyond measure, you are my cure, and my whole reason of existence."

I can't live this life,


Without you by my side,


I need you to survive.

"I can't go on without you, I can't live without you, for even if you live and I stay alive, my soul will die the moment you leave, and a body without a soul is nothing!" He looked intently at her face waiting for her response.

So stay with me,


You look in my eyes and,

I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry.


"Stay with me. I love you," he whispered sweetly to her and she quickly looked up to his eyes. She could hear the sincerity in his words and see the truth in his eyes. He was sorry and best of all he admitted that he loves her and wants her to be with him!

And you forgive me again,


You're my one true friend,


And I never meant to hurt you.

She slowly smiles giving a glow to her pale and fair face. "I see the truth now and.........I do forgive you Aoshi for I love you too!" she said happily to him, throws her kodachi to the side and hugs him furiously.

Everyone is rejoicing now that Misao has finally woken up from her nightmare, or so they thought. Ryu was outraged and without even thinking raced towards Aoshi and Misao ready to finish them off.

Without them even knowing what was going on and before Ryu gave his war cry, Misao asked pleadingly to Aoshi, "Bring me to life."
