Chapter 1
Soujirou Seta walked along the road, his ever perpetual smile still on his face. It had been almost a year since he had decided to start the journey for his answer, but throughout his journey he only felt loneliness and sadness. Soujirou lifted his head to the dark sky. "It looks like it's going to rain soon. I'd better find some shelter." Suddenly he stopped, had he heard a scream?
Misao had been alone in the forest. She had to be away from him. Silently she cried, every teardrop held sadness. He knew she loved him with all her heart yet he still hurt her. "Aoshi-sama."Suddenly she felt a pair of large arms grab her and she gave a little scream of surprise. "Hey, little girl.hand over all the money you got and maybe I won't hurt you." whispered a large and ugly man behind her. Misao clenched her fists. "I am not a little girl!" She reached into her uniform to get her kunai only to find that she had forgotten them at the Aoiya. "Kuso" she muttered. Suddenly Misao felt a rush of air and the next thing she knew her feet were off the ground. Something had picked her up and carried her away. The wind was strong against Misao's face and she could barely keep her eyes open. Then whatever was carrying her came to a sudden stop.Misao freed herself from the stranger. "Who do you think are just to." Misao gasped as she looked at the stranger. He was about her size with short black hair and indigo blue eyes. He was wear- ing a light blue gi and a darker hakama.He turned to look at her, there was a bright and cheerful smile on his face. "You.You're T-tenken no Soujirou!" stuttered Misao. "Iie.I'm just a Rurouni now." explained Soujirou. "And you must that girl that stumbled in on the fight me and Himura-san were having back in Shingetsu village." Misao turned away from him. "My name is Misao Makimachi. And what made you think that you could just carry me away like that? I could have taken that big, ugly thug out in a second!" Soujirou only smiled. "I'm sorry Makimachi-san it just looked like you needed a little help." "Hmph." Thunder rumbled in the sky as drops of rain began to fall. "It looks like you should find a place to stay ne Makimachi- san?"asked Soujirou. "I can get to the Aoiya myself thank you..." replied Misao. "Umm...sorry about this Makimachi-san, but I think it would be faster to get you out of the rain by.." Then without warning Soujirou had picked up Misao and was once again shukuchiing down the road.

Author's Notes: Well? How was it? This is my first Soujirou/Misao Fic, so be nice. Actually I'm not a big fan of Soujirou/Misao pairings but I thought I'd give it a try. Please tell me what you think! More chapters to come! ^_^x
