End Of Last Chapter:
Everyone groaned, except for Kaoru. She was almost excited as the two
girls. She loved showing people around the town, especially the market. So
that day was a day of greetings, planning, and anticipating. Until
tomorrow..
Chapter Fifteen: Shopping Turned Disastrous
Misao and Ayame had planned out some things that they wanted to do during the day. First things first, so they were to go shopping right away. They had asked Kaoru and Megumi if they could show them around town, and not surprisingly, they agreed. The girls were eating breakfast, and then to be on their way. Soujiro and Aoshi were very worried about the two teenage girls being out all day, and it didn't help that the Fox and Racoon girl were joining them. That just made it all worse. So, in desperateness, they decided to follow the girls, but not knowing the other was planning the same.
After breakfast they said good-bye and went ahead to the market. Soujiro said he had some things he needed to do as well, and Aoshi...well Aoshi didn't say anything. He just left, and no one expected him to do it any other way.
"Oh my god! I've never seen so much wonderful things to buy!", was Ayame's first reaction. "You've been to Kyoto, and have never seen anything like this before?!", Misao asked. "I never really took the time to go to the markets." "Ah." In less than an hour, Misao had bought a new kimono, and Ayame bought a new hakama and gi. The hakama were a dark forest green, while the gi was a very soft lilac colour. The girls were so excited, they ran to the Akebeko to change. When Misao came out Kaoru and Megumi complemented her on her choice. When Ayame came out though, it was a bit different.
She looked wonderful in her new outfit. The green and very soft purple went great with her hair and eyes, but that's not what they were all looking at. Just above the line of her shirt, a bit down from her neck, was a big purple mark. Everyone gasped. "What? What is it!?" Kaoru was the first to speak. "That's..that's..Oh my god! You got a huge hi.." Megumi covered her mouth and told her not to draw attention. Ayame had gotten the message though. She looked down and saw the mark. She gave out very high pitched 'eep' sound, blushed furiously, and ran back into the bathroom. Everyone rushed in after her. (It was a public bathroom.) "Oh my god! Ayame! When?! How?! WHO?!", was all Misao managed to say. Ayame spoke through clenched teeth. "SHUT UP! I don't want anyone else noticing!" She furiously tried to cover it up, but Megumi stopped her. "WHEN DID YOU GET THAT?!" Megumi asked very sternly. "Most importantly, WHO gave you it?!", was Misao's question. Ayame's face was scarlet red now. "I'll tell you, but don't tell a soul!!" They all agreed and urged her to continue. "It was...it happened..." She wasn't even looking at them, but Megumi, being the smart one, had already figured it out. "NO! You didn't! Not last night!?" Ayame just looked down and gave a small nod. Kaoru was next to get it. "Nooo!! Not Soujiro! Oh my lord!" Finally Misao got the picture. "Last night?! You?! Soujiro?! Oh my god! You didn't..yanoe..do it did you?!" Ayame gave them all a death- threatening look. "Enough with the questions! It's none of you business what we do!" That wasn't good enough to stop the questions from coming. "Weren't you thinking?! You're so young! What if you had gotten..." Ayame had heard enough. "I WAS thinking alright?! I had thought about it A LOT. I knew what could happen, but I knew it wouldn't. Just like my dreams turn out to be true, I knew this would too. It didn't happen. I'm not having a child. And it is not YOUR job to tell me what I can and cannot do! You are NOT my mother and you do NOT control my life!" With that, she stormed out of the bathroom, hugging her kimono to her chest so no one would notice. She left everyone silent, and feeling bad. They had invaded her privacy, and they knew it was none of their business, but only Misao had seen the tears streaking down her best friend's face. Only she knew how it felt to want that but ashamed to do it because of her age. So only Misao ran after her.
