Chapter 7-Lost and Found
Standard disclaimers apply. I own nothing but the story.
Kay-san: Wasn't that last chapter adorably sad? He didn't answer! Poor Misao. Aoshi's so mean, that he is! But she fell
asleep laying with her head in Sou-kun's lap! can anyone say KAWAII! *winks* onward and forward with chaos, heartbreak, and
romance all rolled into one little fic!
Misao woke up in the bed, the sun shinning down on her. Misao got out of bed and started putting on her clothes. The memories
of the night before crept into her mind, and a single tear rolled down her face. "Aoshi...."she whispered. Just then, the
door opened. "Misao instantly snapped out of her moment. "Eek! Sou-kun!!"she cried. He quickly turned on his heals and walked
back out of the room, blushing furiously. Inside the room, Misao finished dressing all the while her face a shade of red
nearly as dark as Kenshin's hair(my friend always say when we're blushing we must be as red as Kenshin's hair^ ^)
She stepped out of the room in search of her housemate. She found him setting the table, preparing for-"Lunch time, Misao-
chan"he said. "L-lunch?! How long did I sleep?"she yelled, surprised. "Well the crying must have taken a lot of energy out of
you. It's almost noon"she said with a grin. She blinked. "What are you smiling about?!"she growled. (*sigh*he's ALWAYS
smiling, Misao). "N-nothing..."she whispered, hoping to clam her.
"Don't u say that! Tell me!"she yelled at him. "Um, er..."he stuttered. He couldn't tell her what he was smiling about, she'd
kill him! "Yes...?"she said, putting on an almost innocent look. ALMOST. "I-i, um...you...er....shouldn't sleep in white
nightgowns if you are going to cry for two hours..."he said sheepishly. She looked at him with flames in her eyes.
"Sou-kun *heart*"she said,"C'mere"she motioned with her finger. Slowly, he took a step forward. "H-hai, M-misao-chan?"he
asked. "Don't...you...know...how to...KNOCK?!". He fell over, twitching. She helped him up. "Sorry about getting your outfit
wet with all my crying last night, Sou-kun"she said as if nothing had happened. He twitched again. 'Girls are so confusing'he
thought'Esspecially this little weaslegirl'. He laughed at the nickname.
"What's so funny, Sou-kun?"she asked sweetly, her voice giving off that 'sweet as sugar' sound. "Oh, just remembering when
Kaoru had once hit Yahiko over the head with her bokken for not doing his chores"he said. 'Good answer'she thought. He knew
just about anything else he might have said could end up with him in a cast.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After lunch, they wandered around town for a bit. "Oh, Sou-kun! A kareoke bar!"Misao squealed(they seem to go there a lot,
ne?). "Alright, but just for a bit"Soujiro smiled at the happy girl. She was so child-like, yet she was also so grownup. He
walked in after her, and she sang a song.(i wrote it. no copying without my permission and giving me gredit!)
"I may be young
I may be small
I may not know
what you know
But I know
What it feels like
When love is found...
..and love is lost
Lost and Found
People say that
things are lost and found
I think it's the other way 'round
I found love
When I met him
I lost love
When he moved away
Now I found you
And I know Love
Is a wonderful gift
Please don't leave me
Like he did
Don't be like him
Don't break my heart"
She hopped down from the stage. "'Kay, let's go somewhere else now Sou-kun!"she said with a smile. Soujiro was starting to
think that her calling him 'sou-kun' might acctually mean something.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Misao woke up, grinning. She snuck out of bed and out to the couch, where her "Sou-kun" was sleeping peacefully. "Soujiro..."
she whispered,"Oh Sou-kun...". Still, he didn't stir. "ONE WEEK TIL CHRISTMAS!!!"she screamed, pure joy evident in her voice.
Soujiro, on the other hand, had rocketed a few feet in the air, gravity taking its toll just before his head went through the
ceiling. He rubbed the back of his head. "Christmas?"he repeated, confused.
"It's a western holiday! People put up a pine tree in their house, decorate it with 'ornaments', round balls with pretty
patterns on them, and hang 'mistletoe' all over from the ceiling"she informed,"And you bake lotsa cookies, and open all your
presents on Christmas, December 25!". Soujiro blinked. Misao pulled out a huge book called"Everything you'll ever need to
know about CHRISTMAS". "Read"she instructed.
An hour later, Soujiro was done reading and Misao was dressed in one of her new green kimonos. "C'mon, Sou-kun! We have so
much to do! And in only a week, too!"she cried.(Off to shop for everything they needed for Christmas....what disaster awaits
us?)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Christmas Tree....check!....Ornaments....check!....Gingerbread Cookie Cutters....check!....boxes, bows, wrapping paper, and
gift tags.....check, check, check, and check!"she grinned as she scanned her list. "We have everything we need-"she gasped,
"We forgot the mistletoe!". Soujiro held up a large clump of green. "No we didn't"he said. And if she had looked close
enough, she'd have noticed the slight pink tint on his cheeks.
"Ok, let's go decorate!"she smiled, skipping along to the house, Soujiro in tow carring a fair load of boxes. When they got
home, they hung mistletoe, set up the tree, decorated it, and such. Both had one thing on their mind. Christmas presents.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'I wonder what she'd like for Christmas...maybe a kimono? but she just got new ones....'he sighed. She was also having
trouble. 'What would Sou-kun like? Aoshi was always happy with a bag of tea, no matter what the reason he was getting it...'.
She sighed. She didn't know what to get for him. "Sou-kun?"she called. "Hai, Misao-chan?"he replied. "Um, I have some shopp-
ing to do..."she said. "Um, yes, me too..."he said. They left for town, and went their seprate ways.
--Soujiro's POV--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up and down the isles of stores, looking in shop windows, I searched high and low for the perfect gift for Misao. What would
she like? It has to be something special, something that clearly radiates originality and beauty. I looked at a karaoke
machine. She might like that...but oh, it cost so much! a hundred-thousand yen! That was a bit much for something that adds
to your electrical bills too.
Those hair clips are very pretty...maybe she would like one of those? No, they were way too big. Besides, she never wore her
hair down, so she wouldn't be able to wear them anyway. Wait, what was that?! It's perfect! Hai, this just has Misa written
all over it. I'd better get this wrapped...
--Misao's POV----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What would Sou-kun like? Maybe some new clothes? No, boys don't worry about things like that...(*listening to Losing Grip*
lol. what did ya think I'd be listenin' to?). I saw a lovely sheath for a sword, with a lovely pattern of sakura blossoms
flowing in the wind. I picked it up. "Maybe he wouldlike this...?"I wondered. Then I looked down at where I had taken it from
and saw the perfect gift. "He'll love it!" I squealed. People stared at me, but I didn't care. I hurriedly paid for it and
ran back home.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soujiro just finished setting Misao's present under the tree when the door opened. "Eee!"she squealed, hiding the present
behind her back. Soujiro quickly left the room and she wrapped it in a long, flat box with tree-print wrapping paper and a
lovely green bow. 'I hope he likes it...'she thought.
--1 Week Later---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Misao stretched and yawned. She rubbed her eyes, and pulled the covers back over her eyes. "Misao-chan, wake up..."came a
soft voice. "Misao..."he said. She turned away, hugging the blankets close. *SWOOSH!*he pulled the blankets away from her.
She screamed. "SOUJIRO! Ome o korosu!!"she yelled. She had slept, once again, in a thin white nightgown, the blankets(like,
10 of them)were enough to keep her warm.
"Gomen gomen gomen gomen gomen gomen gomen"he repeated over and over, trying to calm her. Steam came out of her ears. "First,
GET OUT OF MY ROOM!"she yelled. He scurried out, very frightened. ex-Jupan Gatana member or not, a pissed off Misao was a
force to be reckoned with. She dressed quickly, then walked out to face her roommate. Regardless of age, height, and
strength, she could beat him up when she was pissed. And boy was she pissed.
She took a step forward, flames in her eyes. Soujiro's eyes widened. Another step forward, he stepped back. And again. And
again. His back hit the door. Trapped, no escape. He panicked. And in his panick, he looked up, as if a hole would appear
and suck him up. And above him, what did he see?(take a guess)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*grins* aren't I so mean? don't worry, I'll work on the next chapter right away. Hope ya'll liked that! wow, time goes by
very fast in this fic...
