"Aoshi!!!!!" Her voice ranged throughout the whole house.
His eyes flipped over quickly and bounced straight up from his bed.
"I made you breakfast" Mai smiled as she high the plate full of rice balls up high.
"Thank You Mai" Aoshi got up and dressed.
"Commander......... Are you okay?" Hannya asked about the loud scream.
"I'm fine" He answered as usual.
"Aoshi........ today I want to see this whole town......... I've been copped up in his house forever" Mai complained.
"I will send one of my men to accompany you" Aoshi took a bite of the food she had made for him.
"How come you can't come with me?" Mai asked as she looked at him with her puppy eyes.
"I have things to do" Aoshi answered.
"Haven't you ever heard the expression 'All work and no play make Aoshi a dull boy'" Mai sat on the floor with her legs crossed.
"Mai I'm busy......... Maybe next time" Aoshi didn't feel like putting up with this.
"Always busy.........Always say next time........." Mai signed
Aoshi didn't want to hurt her but he was getting a little annoyed. Aoshi was going to open his mouth again when someone interrupted him.
"Miss Mai, We all do respect and when Aoshi says he's busy he's busy so would you stop bothering him?" Hannya didn't like Mai very much even when she had saved his life before, he didn't like the idea of Aoshi being with her instead of Miss Misao.
Mai didn't know what to say so she put her head down and walked out of the room. Mai walked through the whole house without knowing where to go and she decided to go out by herself. When she opened the door to the outside world she found someone there she never expected to see.
"Hannya" She spoke quietly.
"You did save my life, so I will show you around the town as you wanted" Hannya said with his arms crossed.
"Why do you hate my so much? Have I committed a crime against you?" Mai wanted to know.
"You have fallen in love with our Lord Aoshi" Hannya turned around.
"Is it a crime to love in his time?" Mai wondered.
"Lord Aoshi's heart belongs to another and for you to take his heart away from that girl is a crime" Hannya knew Misao would come looking for Aoshi sooner or later.
"His heart belongs to another?" Mai wanted to die.
"Misao Makimachi" Hannya turned around to see her eyes swelling up.
Mai dropped to her knees. "I'm sorry.......... I didn't know"
"Now you do" Hannya felt guilty for causing tears to run down her face.
"I'm sorry Hannya......... I'm sorry for everything I did to you........ I'm so sorry" Mai felt like her heard has been taken out of her body and ripped into piece right in front of her eyes.
"I believe you need some time alone............ Come to me when you want to see the town" Hannya went back into the house.
"Big brother......... I wish you were here to tell me what to do" Mai couldn't stop crying. But little did she know her brother was there watching her and silently crying to himself.
"Little sister, I'm so sorry"
Mai walked through the town by herself, but she wasn't watching where she was going and what a beautiful site was around her.
"I'm never going to find my love, am I?" Mai asked herself.
"Hey! Why don't a pretty girl like you come with me and I can show you how to have a good time!" Someone shouted.
Mai ignored them. "I wished I knew what's going to happen to me now.......... I can't go back to Aoshi......... I don't know where I can go here.......... I'm not even in my own time.............What shall I do?"
"Hannya......... Where is Mai?" Aoshi asked Hannya as he saw the sun setting and couldn't find Mai anywhere.
"I believe she's in her room" Hannya bowed.
"I checked, she's not there, could she have gone to town herself?" Aoshi wondered.
Hannya didn't speak.
"Hannya..... search for her" Aoshi dismissed him.
"Right away Lord Aoshi" Hannya said and disappeared.
"Beshimi!" Aoshi called into the large house.
"Yes commander?" Beshimi appeared in the shadows.
"I want you to find Miss Mai.........She's missing" Aoshi commanded him to look for her as well.
"Yes commander" with that he also left to find Miss Mai.
"Mai........... Where are you" Aoshi said to the ceiling.
