Author's Notes: I want to cry! 50! It's all I ask for! (Okay… maybe not, but is it too much?!) I told myself that I wouldn't update another chapter until 50 reviews…but I guess I broke that like some other things I told myself in these things where I say more things then I ever had in real life… oh well, on with the fic!
Chapter 13: Misao's pains
~*~*~*~*~*~*
She knew some one was out there, that they were battling… but she never said anything. Why? Misao is a strange character, but I can't figure out why, for the life of me. Maybe being a dark priest of the Darkness doesn't tell you all about your enemies… like it does this dragon from the past that has now awaken.
"Master! Tisha has joined with his sister!" Omochi burst in. Of course, I just dismissed it, I already knew. The ties between two siblings can't be broken.
But… this girl, she will be a problem, for who knows what powers she posses.
She couldn't think, for everything was painful and hazy, giving her a headache the size of her love for Aoshi-sama. It was amazing about that, the fact that even in pain she could connect things to him, or something about him that she liked. She was in love with him for that matter. In love with a mortal.
The logic of it didn't seem like logic at all. An immortal falling in love with a common mortal of the world above, and actually living with him and traveling the man for all his life… and finally finding out that he loves her back like she loves him.
She gave a sigh and pulled her shawl closer around her body to keep out the unwanted cold of the night. Memories came back with the cold, and went away with the warmth. It was a win or lose either way.
The most hated one was of the night she ran way, with the words of her father coming after her.
The grass was cold and slippery under her feet as she ran for her freedom. The feet of her father's wolves coming after her with howl commanding her to stay. "Why daughter? Why do you wish to stay with a mortal man?"
She stopped, her long braid whipping through the air as she called back, "Because I love him father! I wish to be with him for ever!" She continued to run, the wolves stopped on command from her father, staring after her with sad eyes.
"Then heed this, daughter! You may not return here! Forever and a day, I am no longer your father and wish to have nothing to do with you any more! Until the day I witness something I shall not say to no one! You understand? You are no longer my daughter until that day!"
It all ended and begun that day, her life as an immortal and the new life as a mortal.
"Misao, are you feeling all right?" Aoshi asked, looking at his beloved with the ice blue eyes she loved so much.
"I'm fine, just a little tired. That's all."
"Then maybe you should get some sleep."
"Maybe."
The sound of wolves in the distance startled her, was her father still watching over her? Was he still waiting for the day like she was?
She would have to see.
Tsuki came back—as the victor—with her brother, helping each other stand up. The two did look quite the same, and if Tsuki didn't have a chest, you wouldn't have been able to tell who was who.
"Messiah, everyone, I would like you to meet my twin brother, Tisha," she said, feeling tired and out of energy.
"Come on you two," Kaoru said, helping with Enishi to get the two settled comfortably on the floor, before getting them something to drink. Megumi went to see if they need any serious medical attention, or any for that matter, siblings will usually bring their attack power down when fighting, it just happens self-consciously. It was natural. But, then again, it also comes from you your self because of how much you love that person.
Misao would never understand it though, having no siblings but the wolves in her Father's care, the pack she had grown up with sense she was a baby… she didn't even remember her mother…
The young immortal slipped out of the house, and told Sano, who was at this time guarding, that she was just going to take a short walk. He told her to be careful, and said nothing else as she disappeared into the forest.
She was quite as she followed the faint sent of the pack of wolves that were here not long ago. She soon found it, the pack resting by a stream drinking water to their full until they would continue on. They looked at her a moment before going back to their business. Two small pups made their way to her, watched for a moment by their mother before she went back to drinking. The wolves could tell that they had no reason to be concerned about her, they sensed the wolf goddess in side of her and knew she wouldn't harm them or their young.
"Hello there," she said, petting one and then the other as they went for her attention. Misao sat down on a log and soon the two pups were crawling all over her lap to be petted. "Aren't you both just cute… but would you—any of you—know if my father is keeping his promise? If he is still watching over me waiting for that day like he said?"
They didn't say anything, just looked at her sadly before going on. She sighed. "Just as I thought, even you don't know."
"Know what?"
She gasped and turned around to see him, for father, standing before her, an ever-present cigarette in his mouth.
"Papa…?"
"Who else?"
"You're actually here…"
"Have been the whole time. I do watch over my weasel daughter you know."
"I'm not a weasel."
"You are to me, and your mother was a peacock, if that makes you feel better."
"My mother…?"
"A graceful peacock who I fell in love with once… and it seems that this trait seems to have passed on to you. Falling in love with a mortal, and good ones for the soul at that."
"My mother was mortal…?"
"Is mortal. She's still alive, just like the brother you have…but, you are the only one who is immortal, the reason you can't be with them—the reason neither of us can really be with them… until the day you tell that lover of yours what you really are."
"That's not very fair."
"I didn't make it." He took out his cigarette and squashed it in the ground.
"I hope mom doesn't let you smoke in the house."
"You have no idea."
"Misao!" The far off distant call of Aoshi startled Misao but not her dad.
"Your lover is calling, and I have to go."
"Will I ever see you again?"
"Yeah, I'll always be around."

AN: I don't know if any one else was wondering what was happening with Misao, I know I was. And it's my story! Oh well… Can any one guess who Saitou is the father of???
Jay: I tried my best to make the part between Sano and Megumi true… even though it was getting kinda strange to me… And I'm glad I didn't offend you, kinda afraid that I was, I think. Oh well.
Omochi: Yes, Tisha and Tsuki have always cared for each other, it is something that you can't get ride of between twins, I should know, no matter how mad I am at Susan (my twin), I will always for give her no matter what. The same with my older sister, and my step sister, but its not so with my annoying step brother… which leads to us both having a little sister (I'm so happy about that, something I have over her). ^.^
Thank you for reviewing! Though, I still want 50… An way, I have decided on a fanfic to put up next but it wasn't one of the two from last chapter, and its way more… stranger (?) then anything I have ever written, tough all of them are strange if you ask me.
