Chapter: 2

Enishi Arrives

'I miss them so much I can't believe I just got up and left them, they must hate me, or at the very least miss me' Misao thought. 'I'm sure they are having fun and in a week Aoshi said we could go visit them its only a short walk away but I've been so busy I hardly had time to get food yesterday, let alone visit Kaoru. Aoshi about had a stroke ' Misao thought. She slowly set the picture down on her dresser and stood there for a minuet staring at the picture like it was about to disappear and she would never see her friends and family again, but luckily it didn't.

'She really misses them, maybe I should schedule the trip to see them a little sooner' Aoshi thought. He slowly walked out of the room trying not to attract attention.

'What was that' Misao thought. She had heard a noise and quickly turned around Kauai in hand ready to strike who ever intruded on her moment of peace.

"Aoshi what are you doing in here, and why aren't you dressed?" Misao question the man in his pajamas.

"I should ask you the same thing" Aoshi said looking at her bare stomach and not daring to let his eyes wander any higher, or lower for that matter. Misao blushed and lowered her arm with the kunai in it but still holding tightly to her prized weapon.

"I set breakfast out for you if you would like some and ill make a fresh pot of tea once I finish up here" Misao said turning around and returning the head phones back to her head and putting away her clothes. Aoshi left the room shaking his head.

About a half an hour later Misao had finished her room. "Hmm I forgot the carpet was blue" she said as she walked out f her room into the kitchen and over to the sink. She filled up a pot and began to boil the water. She noticed that Aoshi had eaten put everything away and cleaned the dishes. Soon the whistle blew and Misao poured some tea. She walked around to the back trying to see if Aoshi had been Meditating. 'No he's not there, wait we were supposed to train he should be in the dojo ill get dressed to fight, hell I can fight in this ill just go and start practicing' Misao thought. She walked into the dojo and set the tea down. She began to throw her knives at a target hitting the bulls eye every time. She stepped further away and threw them, still she hit the target she was up against the wall and still hit them perfectly. 'Now, this is no fun' she ran up to a dummy and hit it several times on the head and kicked it. 'This is boring, no retaliation. I need a live target' Misao thought. She walked out into the meadow and looked around, no one.

"Where is everyone?" Misao yelled getting frustrated.

"Well, I am here to see Aoshi Shinomori but you seem desperate" Enishi said. Misao turned around quickly to see a man with aqua eyes (I cant remember the color) and silver/white hair.

"Oh hello, who are you?" Misao asked

"I am Enishi, Aoshi invited me to train with you for 2 days while he is out" Enishi said.

"Enishi, do you know were he went? And why didn't he tell me he was leaving?" Misao asked

"I'm not sure, all I know is he will only be gone for 2 days and im supposed to train with you" Enishi said.

"Ok well let's start once I help you put your stuff away," She said. She grabbed his stuff and ran as fast as she could to his room set his stuff down ran back to him and stood in a fighting stance. "Ok bring it on," Misao said. He pulled out a sword from the case on his back. He threw another at her and told her they would fight with swords, She easily caught it and began. The ran towards each other, Misao slashed back and fourth as fast as she could. Enishi did the same but it was to no prevail. Finally out of all the cling and clang of metal against metal there rang the sound of a soft whimper once the metal hit skin.

"Ouch, hey swords are really sharp" Misao said jokingly.

"Yes, get used to it" Enishi said. Again they came after each other each dishing out their own attacks and moves. Neither was getting further than a few scratches and cuts. Finally Enishi hit her in a spot that was peculiar, he sliced the skin right above her mouth. The metallic, crimson, red liquid slowly flowed out of her cut and seeped into her mouth. She hesitated on wiping it off but got a better idea a more vicious idea, she would just lick her lips and that might freak him out. She slowly licked her lips and they began again.

"You know that isn't exactly sanitary," Enishi said slightly wincing at her actions. He didn't really like the taste of blood he found the taste to coppery.

"I know, I mean, I mean it didn't taste to good but I was trying to intimidate you" Misao said with an almost evil glint in her eyes.

"Well, you made me cringe but im not intimidated by a small weasel like you" Enishi said. That just got Misao even madder, she flew at him hitting him as hard as she could. She got sick of the sword and threw hers to the side she began to punch and kick him, he was able to block a few but it is kind of difficult when you only have a few seconds. She hit him as hard as she could in the stomach.

"I am not a weasel, I am the black fox" Misao said. She put her hand to her mouth. "No, no im not I am Misao not the Black Fox" She began mentally beating herself. But not only did she just slip her deepest darkest secret out to a complete and total stranger but something was missing, something big. She couldn't put her finger on it, what was it. That's it her crave, the crave she has been having since 8th grade. One day in 8th grade she got a strange craving one she couldn't put her finger on, she tried everything to extinguish the strange craving but nothing worked. This wicked crave has been with her since. But, now it was gone and she didn't know what it was. God damn it now that was going to bug her! 'Blood, you fool, blood is your craving. Dumb ass! I am not a dumb ass!' Misao was so busy mentally fighting with black fox she didn't even notice Enishi started to speak again.

"Misao, Misao are you even listening?" Enishi asked.

"What? Can you repeat that?" Misao said still a little distant.

"Yes. Misao we have a lot of work to do on your temper and your (ewe) disgusting habits. Also you need to work on your listening skills" Enishi said distastefully.

"And you need to work on your people skills, and find a new way of getting peoples attention besides repeating their name over and over" Misao said cruelly She rolled her eyes and walked off to drink some tea which had just cooled to her liking. She had to think of her little craving problem. She sat down and sipped her tea quietly.

"Enishi would you like to stay in the guest room or Aoshi's room while he's away?" Misao asked. Enishi walked up behind her and poured himself some tea and sipped it calmly despite the cuts and scratches that were bleeding freely.

"I think I should sleep in the guest room, it's only proper," Enishi said.

"What ever you wish, you are the guest," Misao said trying as hard as she could to be polite. She stood up and walked into her room to think in private and bandage her wounds and get ready to fight again. She just realized she was covered in her blood as well as his. The cuts may have been little but there was many and they were kind of deep. She stepped into her room and instantaneously sensed another ki. She looked over her room and decided it was only a stupid animal running past her window (sorry for the animal lovers she's not in a good mood she doesn't really like Enishi right now she thinks he's too cocky). She bandaged herself up and undressed. She had covered herself up for the most part, for the last month just incase Aoshi thought it would be nice to catch a glimpse of her. She was glad she did this when one of her faithful followers entered her room through the window, again, with out knocking. There she was half naked the only thing covering her up were some bandages and she was about to slip into a fighting gi. "

"Hikio get in the closet or something wait till im done changing and don't be to loud a stranger is in the house and he doesn't know about my "job"" Misao said. The man quickly ran into the closet in a blink of an eye he was beat red, as well as Misao. She hurriedly dressed and asked him to come out.

"Ok spill it, what is it now, Enishi is here and I don't want him thinking I talk to myself, or something stupid like that" Misao said hurriedly.

"Yes Miss, I just would like to tell you that with out you and Mr. Shinomori the office is a mess, the secretary has quit, no one has anything to do and because of it no one is getting paid, this business is dirty you need to assign us to do something, Miss, please." Hikio said. He was almost begging.

"Ok, ok you, you can steal, um find me a black diamond then get someone else to turn it in for money, pay every one and um send out a search party for a man named Houji, if you find him tell me, keep him at the head quarters for further instructions" Misao said quite dignified if I say so myself.

"Yes Miss" Hikio said. He ran back to tell everyone the good news. 

'Ok, The business is failing horribly, Hikio just saw me half naked, Enishi and I are to fight again in like two seconds, and Aoshi is gone some where over the rainbow, things are going great' Misao thought.

"Lovely" she whispered. She stood up and began to bandage the wounds she forgot to wrap up, and that brought back the memory of her strange crave.

'For sure my crave is blood, it must be because why would it go away when I tasted blood?' She thought. Her mind was racing now. She whipped away the dry blood above her lip. 'Am I a vampire?' She thought.
