Even when the whole world turns their back on you,
You will always have a drop of Hope.
Chapter 3: Change (Chenji)
"Kaoru and the others did so much for me. I am forever grateful to them. All I hope is that it worked, that I
truly don't love Aoshi-sama anymore. The only way to tell is when i get there. Here I am hopefully still me,
but with a new heart. Ready to love another. Yes, I hope so. I wonder, I wonder if anything changed while I
was gone?"
-Misao
(A.N: Another one)
Misao walked past many familiar shops, as she realized she was nearing home. 'I'm ready. Here I go, watch
out, Misao is back!' Misao ran the last few feet and saw the inn in sight. A smile crossed her face. She was
glad to be home. The moon was glowing and the stars twinkling. What could possibly go wrong...
"Minna!" Misao yelled as loud as her voice could, hoping everyone would hear her return. She waited awhile
outside in the darkness of the night, before a blur of gray came towards her and hugged her.
"I'm back Jiya, you can let me go," Misao barely had any oxygen left, after Okina had hugged her. Everyone
else paid their respective 'welcome backs'
Okon pushed them all inside the kitchen to eat, as it was dinner time already. Misao had been traveling for 3
days and looked forward to a home cooked meal. Everyone sat down, and questioned Misao as to what she
had been doing. Misao replied and faced many shocked looks, as she mentioned she had put on a kimono.
Even more shocked looks appeared when she told them she knew how to cook some basic meals.
"My, My we certainly have been busy," Okina commented while rubbing his beard.
Misao grinned and said," Yes, well, how have things here been?"
Everyone went silent, before Okina finally said something, "Things have been fine. The inn is doing better than
it was last season."
Misao saw that everyone seemed to want to hide something, but what? A thought struck her, as to why
Aoshi-sama wasn't present. She acted on the thought, "So, where's Aoshi-sama, I would like to say that I
am home."
Just as she said that the door opened and in walked Aoshi-sama with...someone else? A female someone
else. 'A-Aoshi-sama??' Misao almost lost it, but remained calm, 'You don't love him, why would it matter to
you who he is with?'
Misao saw as everyone's gaze including Aoshi's and the woman's went to her. 'Why are they looking at me?'
Misao got nervous and spoke up, "Why is everyone looking at me??"
No one spoke, then finally Aoshi broke the silence, "Welcome back Misao. How was Tokyo?" Misao glanced
for the first time, that day, into his eyes. They surfaced as caring eyes, but underneath great torment was
present. Misao closed her eyes, breaking contact, and opened them again to say, "It was very educational.
How have you been?"
Aoshi made a gesture to the woman next to him, "This is Midori. I met her a week after you left. We are
currently dating." Okina and the others' gazes went to Misao to see what her reaction would be. To their
complete shock, she didn't seem affected by the statement. On the other hand her face showed happiness.
"Wow! It's nice to meet you," Misao went forward and shook her hand, "I am so happy for you, Aoshi-sama."
What was scary was the fact that she seemed completely serious and not jokeful. Misao actually stood there
briefly and looked at this 'woman' Aoshi-sama was with. She seemed nice. She had black hair, and light blue
eyes. She had her hair in a braid going to her hip. Hell, she even had a kimono on. 'Mou, it's like me but better.
More mature than me. Prettier than me. Most likely more nice than me,' Misao thought.
Misao smiled sadly, though no one saw, and said, "I better get to sleep now. I've had a long journey. We
should talk more later, Midori-san. Good night now minna." Misao picked up her bag and went to her room.
Everyone's eyes bore into her back as she left.
Only Okon seemed to notice that Misao had barely eaten her food. She bit her lip,' She acts like she doesn't
care, but she does. Even if she doesn't know.'
A door closed softly as Misao entered her room, 'I'm back. And things have changed, changed they have,
and a lot too. Should I run away? Iie, I can face this, whatever the out come I will overcome this.' With
those encouraging words to herself she fell asleep in her bed...
.::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::.
Here you are, the truth. Aoshi's got a woman, details how/when/where later. How was that? Heartbreaking
right? Well it's all part of the plan, don't worry. PLEASE R+R! i do look at each review. IT'S very important to
me, to see what you are thinking.

Misao seems unconcerned with the new addition to the group,
"...So you have to tell me Midori, how did this happen..."
Her and Midori sit down for a talk and she explains how/when/where/why they met. Misao looks like she
doesn't care but she does. Subconsciously she does...
Well here it is ppl, a spur of the moment fic.
