Disclaimer: I don't own RK. If you think I do after all these stupid disclaimers....... I don't even want to go there.
Carry On Dancing Chapter 14: Aura
" That can't be right." Misao said as she trembled after Kaoru told her what happened with the the four members of the oniwaban group and Aoshi, " They wouldn't die....... Lord Aoshi wouldn't let them die." She seemed like the world was falling around her.
" They are Misao." Kaoru wispered, " They died protecting Aoshi from Kanryu's gatling gun. Aoshi however is alive and has vowed to kill Kenshin." Misao shook her head fearfully. She refused to belive that the people she had been looking for all these years were dead. They couldn't be, they wouldn't! All the time that they spent together before she was left behind couldn't be for nothing!
" Your lying." She wispered, " I don't care what you say. They would never lower themselves to becoming bodyguards of a man like Kanryu."
" Well they did." Yahiko said bluntly and earned glare from Kaoru, " They wanted to become the best there is and becoming bodyguards was the best way to do that."
Misao at this moment didn't care what anyone had to say. All that was going in her head was that they couldn't be dead. Never could that happen, not after she dedicated herself to find the people she cared for the most.
" I'm sorry Misao, but they have died. Aoshi is still out there though...... you might find him." Kaoru said softly and gripped her hand reassuringly on Misao's shoulder.
Misao stared at Kaoru for a moment. She saw the sincerity in Kaoru's ocean eyes and somehow she knew that they were telling the truth. The four oniwaban members were dead..... only Aoshi was left. She looked at Kaoru and gave her a sad smile. She felt like sobbing, but refused to . Not for them, they wouldn't want to see her cry. They hated it when she cried........
" Let's go then." she stated simply, her eyes watering slightly as Kaoru nodded at her. As they walked down the path to the Aoyia Misao chanted to herself that she would not cry. Not like when they left her behind with Okina......
*Flashback*
" What do you mean they left?!" a mini-Misao demanded, " They wouldn't leave me behind!" Okina gazed softly at the youth. He hoped that Aoshi knew what he was doing, leaving her here. As soon as the girl realized that the oniwaban she traveled with weren't here, she went ballistic on them.
" I'm sorry Misao, but they left for Aizu a short while ago." Okina answered softly, " He asked that we watch over you." Misao shook her head in denial. She belived with all her heart that they would not abandon her like this. In her mind Okina was telling her some sick joke.
"You liar!" she yelled, " Lord Aoshi......he and the rest cared for me alot. They're my family....and family doesn't just abandon one of there own!" She ran from the Aoyia going in the direction of Aizu, heart breaking. Okina and the rest called out to her, but she didn't care. She didn't care about anyone at the moment. The only thing she could think of was that she had to find her Lord Aoshi and the rest. They meant the world to her.....
Seconds turned to minutes and minutes to hours as she search for them. After awhile she realized what she was doing was insane, a joke. She had no idea which way Lord Aoshi went to Aizu and even if she did find him, what good would it do her? They would just send her back to Okina and off she would go. It was hopeless that she would even see them again. Okina wasn't lying at all...... they were gone.
Tears welled up in her aqua-marine eyes. It started to pour rain as thunder and lighting clashed in the sky. She didn't care at all, Lord Aoshi left her alone, he had saved her from death and abandoned her. Why did this have to happen? Why did he leave her alone with a man she hardly knew? This wasn't fair.... but was life fair? Not at the moment.
" Is this some sort of joke?!" She yelled at the sky, " That the people I considered family left me all alone?!" She got no answer except a huge roll of thunder. Misao really didn't think she would get one. She silently started to walk back to the Aoyia, her tears blending with the rain that soaked her body. She stopped all the sudden and slowly crouched down, with sobs that racked her body.
It didn't matter that she was just a child, sorrow filled her very being. Her makeshift family had left her all alone.........................
*End Flashback*
Misao sighed sadly at the memory. It was lucky that Okina found her while she was crying, he really helped her get over the fact that they had left her. The memory still stung though, she knew that it always would.
" You okay?" Karu asked and sighed, " Well I don't even know why I ask. Of course you're not okay."
Misao smiled sadly at her and continued to walk on to the Aoyia. As she did Yahiko walked up to her in silence. She looked at him as if to ask what he wanted.
"I'm sorry...." he wispered as if it was a hard thing to do. For someone that he had just fought with a few moments before it was. , " You look.....sad and....I...."
Misao cut him off, " I understand." and she did. Yahiko was a good kid..... even if he acted like a snot nosed brat almost all the time. She smiled, glad to know that these people wished her well. They truely were great to be with.
Yahiko went back to Kaoru's side and started to tease her. A fight was the result.
" I'm not ugly LITTLE Yahiko! " Kaoru yelled at Yahiko's insult. Yahiko smirked although Kaoru called him little.
" Yeah, you're not ugly." Kaoru smiled for a second.....until Yahiko finished the comback, " Oh, and I think I saw a pig fly the other day too. Give up on impossible dreams will you?" The smile quickly turned into a scowl and Kaoru's shinai met Yahiko's head. Misao sighed, though she felt a bit better. How could she stay sad for too long when Kaoru and Yahiko were around?
But she resolved to cry for her dead friends in private anyway. To hell if they hated it if she cried.
It was never healthy to hold in your feelings.

Sorry guys, but that's the end of this chap. I didn't mean to take so long! I feel so awful that I took so long to get this out and this weekend I'll be to busy to update. That's why the chapter is so darn..... short. Sorry, I hope you guys can forgive me. =( I'll write the review responses next chapter.
The story chapter Aura is a song from .hack//sign has to do with the Misao angst. It is a angsty, but beautiful song.
Please read and review. I'd like that. ^_^
