THE REAL AOSHI AND MISAO STORY
Chapter three
The next day.
After the wedding ceremony I was sitting in my room getting ready to go to her room. She had been waiting for me. I sat at my window thinking about today's events.
I wished that they were here to watch me get married. I felt a cold wind blow past my ear, it was getting colder each day; winter was drawing closer.
Well…time to see my wife. My wife…those words sound so foreign but I'll get used to it, I have to.
When I entered the room Misao was already lying in the bed. She wasn't sleeping but I could tell that she was tired and a bit afraid? I looked at her, she smiled slightly.
"Aoshi-sama I waited for you."
I nodded and thanked her. At first I didn't know what to do, she looked so innocent in that sleeping yukata. But I was her husband so it was ok to look at her in that way. I drew closer, I noticed that her breath was getting shorter. She was very nervous.
"Don't worry Misao I won't hurt you." I sat down next to her in our futon. "Ok." She whispered. "All right. Good night then." I laid down, pulling the covers over me. "Wait aren't we going to…you know…" I rolled over looking at her eyes. "You want to?" She blushed bright pink and darted her eyes away. I propped my head up on my hand. "Well do you?"
Misao sat up straight and said, "Yes. Yes, I want to be with you." I was a bit shocked at her words. But at the same time I was prepared.
She was so small and fragile, I was careful not to hurt her anymore than necessary.
After it was all over, I looked to my side. She smiled at me…all of a sudden I felt so happy; like that smile could save me from it all… Without saying another word she went to sleep, a slight smile graced her face.
Suddenly I felt unworthy all over again. I definitely don't deserve this happiness beside me.
