Chapter 2: Forgetting (Bounen)
"Well I should have listened to my brain, and not let my heart overrule me. Now I have to bear the task of
forgetting the love I have for Aoshi-sama. When I return, I want to return as a whole new person. I can't
believe Aoshi-sama was so hurtful. Did he really mean that? Am I really just a bother to him? Well I shall
prove that I can survive with out him. I will begin anew today. As I journey closer to Tokyo, I shall forget
about that love."
-Misao
(A.N: Another quote for Misao by me. They are supposed to tell the story so far, and the character's most
inner thoughts.)
Misao turned the last corner, and came face-to-face with the gate to the Kamiya-dojo. She grinned,' I made it.'
Misao raised her arm, and knocked the gate 3 times. She waited and was about to leave when the door was
answered by a red-headed man with an x on his cheek. "Misao-dono!" he exclaimed before he let Misao in.
"Kenshin who was it?" a voice questioned from inside the dojo. Misao watched as the young woman came out.
"Konnichiwa Kaoru and Kenshin" Misao bowed politely before she gave both of them a bone crushing hug.
"How have you two been?? Up to no good right??" Misao said hinting at something, which Kaoru caught onto
quickly. "NO, nothing of the sort" Then Kaoru whispered in Misao's ear," He's still dense, though I think I'm
getting close." Misao giggled.
Kenshin glanced at the two and couldn't not get an,"Oro?" out. Misao and Kaoru glanced at Kenshin and
sweat-dropped. "I see what you mean." Misao said quietly to Kaoru. "Yes, but anyway how's your Aoshi?"
Kaoru saw a flash of hurt in Misao's eyes, but it was gone to quickly for her to mention it. "About that,
I have something I have to tell you," Misao said to Kaoru.
They walked away leaving Kenshin alone, to do the laundry. Kaoru took Misao to her room, so no one could
interrupt. They sat down and all was silent when Misao finally let her tears fall out," He rejected me."
Kaoru looked in shock at the younger woman. Understanding filled Kaoru, she knew why she was here. Kaoru
looked at the broken hearted girl. Misao collected herself and sat there, calm as possible.
"I will help you get over him Misao. Don't you worry," Kaoru offered. Misao looked up at her," Thank you."
During the next month, the whole Kenshin-gumi dedicated themselves to helping Misao in any way. Kaoru
even forced Misao to wear a kimono a few times for a festival. Sano had been aiding in her training. Yahiko
had helped her train also by doing his warm-ups with her. Kenshin had attempted to teach Misao some
cooking skills, which the first time, resulted in the kitchen blowing up.
Now 1 1/2 months after Misao arrived, she is fit as ever with her training. Her cooking has progressed slightly,
enough that she can make a few simple dishes. She owns 2 kimonos, which she received as a gift from Kaoru.
She stood in the front of the dojo, right before the gates. It was time, time to head home. Kaoru gathered
everyone to bid their farewells.
"You'll be just fine Weasel," Sano said while giving her a brief hug. They separated and Yahiko bid his good-bye too.
"Good-bye Misao-dono," Kenshin gave her a quick hug also. Misao smiled in gratitude and finally moved onto
Kaoru, "Just keep your head high ok Misao?" Misao nodded and they shared a slightly longer hug. Misao stepped
back and began walking towards the gate. Just before she disappeared behind it she glanced back and said,"
Thank You, all of you, for your help." And then she was gone. Maybe she looked different, but who knows if
her heart has changed.
For her sake let's hope it has, because what she is going to face at home, is going to require all her strength.

Preview for Chapter 3: Change (Chenji)
Misao begins the journey home, only to discover that everything was not as she left it.
"...Things have changed a lot around here over the past weeks, Misao..."
Things have changed greatly, will she be able to over come the obstacle that now faces her?
"...Are you going to be able to handle this Misao?..."
Or will she just run again?
'...Should I leave?...'
