K'Dash : *cough cough*
Soujirou : She's a broke student ! ^_^;;
Soujirou's Dream - chapter 2
"Huh ? That was some dream..." Soujirou wondered to himself, thinking about it. "Oh well..." It was about time he went to get something to eat...
After checking out of the inn, Soujirou continued wondering around. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure... it was Misao !! She was clad in a white gi and dark blue hakama and was wearing a light blue vest. A lone kodachi hung by her side. Her braid was gone and instead her hair was tied in a high ponytail.
"Misao-san !!"
"Huh? Oh hi Soujirou ! Fancy seeing you here ! Small world huh ?"
"Yeah I guess..."
Soujirou was wondering about Misao and at the same time thinking about his dream... 'Was it trying to tell me something ? Am I going to die soon ? ... '
"Hey ! You all right ?" Misao brought Soujirou back to earth.
"Huh ? Oh, I'm fine !" Soujirou smiled in reply.
"Jeez.. wierd man... you just kinda spaced out back there... " Misao told him.
"Oh its alright !" Soujirou replied.
"Where are you going ?" Soujirou asked Misao.
"Well... north I guess... "
"Same here ! Let's go together ! Do you mind ?" Soujirou asked.
"Iie.. " Misao replied.
On the way, they both began to catch up with each other....
"Misao-san, I thought you were with Shinomori-san ?"
"ano... he... "
" ? "
"I don't wanna talk about it ok ?" Misao replied a bit sadly.
"ok... " I wonder what happened to Aoshi-san ? Soujirou thought...
"Soujirou, how come you're always smiling?"
"Oh well... I guess I hide my emotions well."
"Do you ever really smile?"
"Hmm...." Soujirou looked thoughtful. 'Come to think of it its mostly to hide my emotions... this Misao is cute.'
Days turned into weeks, months and finally a year. Misao was already 18 while Soujirou was 20. After travelling together for a year, they began to develop feelings for each other. Little did they know the danger that was lying ahead of them...
After travelling practically the whole of Japan, Misao and Soujirou finally returned back to Kyoto. After making a quick stop at the Aoi-ya to visit Okina, they decided to go to Tokyo to visit the Kenshin-gumi.
Not long after beginning their journey, a group of bandits suddenly burst out of the bushes and attacked them. "Yer money or yer life!!" one of them shouted at the pair. Soujirou drew his sword and started to repel the attacks from the bandits. Misao rushed forward to help him.
Unexpectantly, Soujirou suddenly dropped his guard to save Misao, and one of the bandits took advantage of that and stabbed Soujirou in his side. After taking off with a few of their belongings, the bandits fled.
"Soujirou! Daijoubu?" Misao ran to Soujirou's side.
"ahhh... I'm fine.. " Soujirou then faints.
"Soujirou!!" 'Ahh... don't panic Misao...' she closes her eyes for a moment.. "I know ! Aoi-ya isn't far from here... I'll go get help !!" and with that she took off toward Kyoto again...
