Chapter 4: The Ball part 2.
Misao tried to keep her nerves from showing by hiding her shaking hands behind her kimono. The thought of being Prince Aoshi's escort terrified her yet excited her at the same time. She did not know how Aoshi felt but she knew that she would love him until the day she died. She had always loved him ever since the first day she met him. The day she met him was a rainy day, and Prince Aoshi had come to speak with Jyia about burial plans. Aoshi's father had died and he had no clue on how to make a burial worthy of his father. Some people wondered why after the king's death why Aoshi never claimed to be king. Well the answer to that is unlike most kingdoms Aoshi could not be king until he married. Aoshi has never married because all the girls that have tried to win his affection only wanted to marry him because of his title. Well not Misao. She would marry him if he were the poorest man on this earth. Little did Miaso know her dream about marring Aoshi would come true tonight.
Aoshi had been thinking about this night for a long time. He thought tonight would be the perfect time to ask Misao to marry him. He would wait until Prince Kenshin announced his bride-to-be and then take Misao to the garden and ask her. He smiled to himself as he imaged Misao reaction. He knew she would have a hard time keeping this to herself but he knew she would if he asked her to. So with that last thought he went downstairs to meet Misao. When her saw her he had a hard time keeping his reaction neutral looked so beautiful in that kimono. It matched her eyes perfectly. Once able to breathe again Aoshi took Misao's arm and ushered her out to the waiting carriage. The whole ride their was in silence thinking about the other one.
Finally they arrived. The palace was beautiful. Misao was looking around trying to take in everything at once. Aoshi just took one glance around then dragged Misao along into the pre-dinning room where all the guests were waiting and talking among one another. He said hi to a few people before coming to a stop in front of Sano and his date. Aoshi observed Sano's date. He had never seen her before. Sono introduced her as Megumi. He told them about how he had rescued her from being raped and why she was here with him. After Sano finished they were joined by Sano's younger brother Yahiko and Yahiko's date. All Yahiko said was her name was Tsubame and did not venture more on the subject. Misao glad to have someone to talk to made friends with them right away. Soon after the girls got into a friendly conversation with each other about something, Aoshi could not hear because they were talking in whispers, it was time to eat. Aoshi led Misao into the dinning room and seated her. They talked about how nice the food was and about Megumi and Tsubame. Well at least Misao did. Aoshi just sat there and listened to her making a few comments here and there so she knew he was listening to her. Soon it was time to dance. This part of the ball never took long because Kenshin liked to get it done as fast as possible. He knew that Kenshin hated these balls his father made him attend to. He watched as Kenshin danced with at least a hundred girls before noticing how quiet Misao was. He looked at her and saw how wistful she seemed while looking at all the dancers. Well he might as well ask her he mused.
Aoshi: Misao would you like to dance with me.
Misao: I would love to.
Misao's smile was like sunshine coming out on a cloudy day. He whirled her around the dance floor until it was time for Kenshin to make his announcement. Everyone stilled as the Prince made his way to the front of the crowd. He smiled at everyone and announced his bride-to-be. Aoshi looked at the girl who Kenshin had announced and realized she looked familiar. Not knowing why he dismissed it as seeing her at a previous ball not realizing that he recognized her because she looked kind of like Misao. With that said and done it was time to ask Misao.
Aoshi: Misao would you please step out in to the garden with me for a moment. I have something I want to ask you.
Misao: All right.
And with that she followed Aoshi into the garden wondering on what he could possibly want to ask her. She dared not hope that he was going to ask her to marry.
Aoshi: Misao, I have known you for some time now and what I have to ask you is to stay between us all right?
By now they had walked into a secluded part of the garden surrounded by red roses and a small but beautiful fountain in the middle. Aoshi got down on one knee.
Aoshi: Misao I love you very much. I know I have never let on how I feel about you but I had to make sure you loved me and not the title I could provide. I am sorry that it took me so long to tell me how I feel but I was afraid of getting my heart broken. Every time I am around you I feel as though I am complete. Like I was missing something before you came into my life. Misao will you marry me?
By this time Misao had started to cry. She smiled and after a moment to get her voice under control she spoke.
Misao: Aoshi I love you with every breath in my body. I have dreamed of this moment for so long. But I never expected it to be this wonderful. I would love to be your wife. With that Aoshi slipped a ring onto her left hand.
Aoshi: Misao please keep this a secret for a little while all right.
Misao nodded before she wrapped her arms around Aoshi's waste and gave him a kiss on the check. She went to turn away but Aoshi grabbed her around the waste and kissed her like he was a man drowning and only she could save him. When he finally broke off the kiss he left Misao gasping for breath. He then led her into the castle and told her goodnight. By morning they were going to be glad they had a good nights sleep.
