Snow fall
It was a peaceful day at the Aoi-ya. Snow was falling lightly outside. It was christmas.
Inside, Misao was busy pacing around in her room racking her brains over what to get for Aoshi's present. Money wasn't the matter, she had saved enough. She just didn't know what to get him, and now she was furiously trying to think before the shops were open so as soon as they opened she could rush there to buy his present and then rush back.
Suddenly an idea hit her, and not before long, she was rushing outside towards the city center.
Later in the morning, Omasu told Misao that they were having a christmas dinner that night. Whatever presents they had to give could be given at that time. Misao nodded happily, relieved that she already got a present for Aoshi.
She hoped he would like it.
That night, Misao just couldn't summon enough courage to go up to Aoshi and give him the present. No matter how many times she rehearsed in her head, something always seemed to hold her back. Finally, after dinner was cleared and everyone left to do their own thing, Misao and Aoshi were left alone in the dining hall.
Aoshi left, and Misao followed him, out onto the porch.
It was still snowing, and the snow from the previous night had piled up, making the ground seem higher.
"Ano... Aoshi-sama ?" Misao asked quietly. "...yes Misao ?" "Here... this is for you." Misao shoved a long thin package toward Aoshi. He carefully removed the wrapping from the package, revealing a dark blue box. He opened it, only to find a shiny new sheath for his twin kodachis. Although the lighting where they were was dim, he sheath was so well polished that he could even see his own reflection in the ebony coloured metal. He smiled slightly.
Aoshi looked over at Misao who had been silently sitting in the corner the whole time. "Misao, aren't you cold ?" He asked as he spotted her shivering. "Come here."
Misao walked over slowly to Aoshi's side, and he put an arm around her and pulled her closer, and draped a little of his trenchcost over her small body. Misao felt a slight blush climb slowly up her cheeks, and they sat there silently watching the snow fall.
"How did you now I needed another sheath ?" Aoshi asked suddenly. "I have ways Aoshi-sama." she said and giggled. Aoshi smiled. "I love it. Just like I love you Misao." he said and breathed deeply onto her neck.
"Aoshi-sama... you..." a shocked Misao gasped as Aoshi pulled Misao closer to himself, the trenchcoat over more of her now. He leaned down and kissed her cheek gently. The two Oniwabanshuu okashira continued sitting there.......
