A boy like that
A boy like that, ohh
A boy like that, like that
A boy like that
A boy like that, like that
A boy like that
Like that!

Tenshi had taken Misao into an old dojo. It was desolate and lonely, but in an eerie way, peaceful. They were sitting down to a cup of tea, encased in silence.

Misao was watched Tenshi sipped her tea. She looked absolutely serene and calm. Her ki was very powerful, maybe even as stong as Himura Kenshin's. Yet even though she possessed great strength, she still gave off a tranquil vibe. A vibe so strong it could make anyone calm in a moment.

"Akarino-san?" Misao asked nervously. Without looking at the other woman, Tenshi said,

"Call me Tenshi, Misao-san."

"Ah, Tenshi-san. May I ask you why you called me here?" Misao stared at Tenshi carefully, awaiting her answer. To her surprise, her new found companion laughed merrily. It was like bells ringing and Misao listened in awe.

"I didn't summon you here, Misao-san. You came to me." Misao gawked cluelessly at her.

Tenshi sighed and placed down her tea. She moved towards Misao and placed her hands over her cheeks to get a good hold of her face. Silver eyes met blue.

"You came to me because you want to know who you are. What's your place in the world." The silver eyes stared deeply into Misao's. It searched her soul and her heart as it did when they had first met. Misao was completely at peace with this. She just sat there and tried to read Tenshi's silver eyes.

"What caused you to come here was a man. A handsome one at that. Ice blue eyes, ne?" Misao was amazed that Tenshi could know that.

"He hurted you, broke your heart. Yet...You still love him?" Tenshi's eyes widened with shock. How could one so badly scorned still continue to love the offender? Misao tore her eyes away from Tenshi's and stared at the ground.

"A boy like that can be very dangerous, physically, mentally, and always emotionally." Tenshi stated with steel in her voice.

A boy like that
Who'd kill your brother
Forget that boy and find another
One of your own kind
Stick to your own kind
A boy like that, like that

"Dangerous? How can Aoshi-sama--?" Misao started.

"Ah, I was correct. The one that has stolen your heart is Shinomori Aoshi." Tenshi interrupted.

"Be dangerous?" She finished as she tilted her head with sincere confusion. Again, the bell of laughter rang through the still air.

"Oh, Misao-san! You truly love him that much! So much that you look past his strength and ability." Misao thought about this comment. Yes, she knew her Aoshi-sama was very strong and was very skillful, but what did that have to do with anything?

"He could kill you. Or anyone you care about." Tenshi answered Misao's unsaid question.

Of course, Misao protested,

"Aoshi-sama could never harm anyone!"

"Those in love forget so easily. Do you not remember what he did to your beloved Jiya?" Misao's eyes glazed over as she remembered the memory and the what he had said to her.

"Forget him, Misao. You can find better." Tenshi coaxed.

A boy like that will give you sorrow
You'll meet another boy tomorrow
One of your own kind
Stick to your own kind
A boy like that
A boy like that

"But I don't want to forget him!" Misao shook her head defiantly.

"He'll only bring you sorrow. You'll meet another man, someone who can love you!"

"Aoshi-sama does love me!!"

"Oh? And I suppose he shows his love by breaking your heart? Or even telling you he never wants to see your face again?" She taunted cruelly.

Tenshi was placing doubt in Misao's heart. Something she purposely meant to do. She could see Misao doubt her feelings for her Aoshi.

A boy who kills cannot love
A boy who kills has no heart
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart
Very smart
Maria, very smart

"But..." Misao said quietly. Tenshi took this chance to pounce and add more doubt.

"A boy who kills has no heart to love."

"But what about Himura?" Misao shot back.

"Himura?" Tenshi paused as if to recall the name and then nodded, "Oh, yes. Himura Kenshin. Hiktori Battousai and his sweet Kamiya Kaoru. Very smart, Misao."

Tenshi was impressed at how her new charge was going. Misao was still able to stay true to her heart, even with all thse facts. Now if only she could keep up the good work...

A boy like that
Wants one thing only
And when he's gone he'll leave you lonely
He'll murder your love
He murdered mine

"Even if he does love you Misao, he only wants one thing..." Tenshi trailed off suggestively. Misao's eyes widened and she stared in surprise at Tenshi.

"And after that he'll leave you."

"He's not the kind of person who would do that!"

"He'll destroy your love. Trust me, I've known a man like Shinomori-san. A man who destroyed mine too."

"No, I don't believe it!!" Tenshi stood up and watch the sun slowly set while Misao stared angrily at her back.

"These are all lies! Why did you call for me!!"

Just wait and see, wait and see
A boy who kills cannot love, no puede amar
A boy who kills has no heart, no tiene corazon
And he's the boy who takes your love
And gets your heart
Very smart
Maria, very smart

"I already told you, Misao-san, and besides hasn't he already destroyed your love? He hurted you badly." Tenshi said. Misao got to her feet and yelled,

"What kind of sick game are you playing?" Misao cried out.

"Whoever said this was a game?" Tenshi smirked.

A boy like that, a boy like that
A boy like that, kill your brother
A boy like that, a boy like that
A boy like that, find another
A boy like that, a boy like that
A boy like that, I'm ready to love
A boy like that, a boy like that
A boy like that, a boy like that

"Boys like that can hurt you." Tenshi whispered, more to herself than Misao. Misao's anger ebbed as she noticed Tenshi's mellow tone.

"Tenshi-san? Daijoubu?" Tenshi sighed sadly and turned to Misao.

"Daijoubu, Misao-san. You've past the test. Your love for Shinomori-san is true. Your lessons will begin at sunrise tomorrow."

"Lessons?"

"Is that not what you wanted? To find your true self?"

"It is what I wanted." Misao nodded.

"Good. Come, I'll show you to your room." Misao stared in wonder at the strange woman.
