Author's Note: Note that from now on it's going to be slowed down and more on the dark and seduction side, if you read chapter seven, and I know you all read it clearly, that indeed it has no choice but to fall into the clutches of PPLL. I think I'll do another fic all on PPLL, the human way... or natural way of life. Possessiveness, Protectiveness, Lust, and Love, just with these for words the possibilities are endless, wouldn't you agree?

The lemon: Kaoru/Kenshin, or Kirei/Battousai? I warn you that Kirei/Battousai will be a pretty dark way in mating. The other couple is Aoshi/Misao from all the votes. Not in this one, this one is basically a major teaser.

Chapter Eight: Want

Vampires' LOVE

Blood is rising

Heat is burning

Lust is overcome

~*~*~*~

Feathering the cross shape scar

Lips that become tantalizing

~*~*~*~

Boring through the gold

Playing with the red

Caressing with the violet

~*~*~*~

Fireworks that explode

Through the midst of the dark sky

Hope that still redeems

Of the goodness in our souls

~*~*~*~

Relentless of the wild beast

Taming of the soul

The making of one

Devouring all the snow

~*~*~*~

Blood that flows through my veins

My heart that beats

Lust has becomes like wildfire

And the love that overheats

By: The Girl Who Cried Oro (You're the best! V^_^V)

Darkness in Eternity

Humans live only to die,

Yet to discover eternity is only a lie.

There is no hope, no light,

No will to even get up and fight.

~*~*~*~

People have defined eternity,

As something close to immortality.

But living forever is a curse,

To hold the lost love in turn for worse.

~*~*~*~

Moons, stars and the sun cannot erase,

All the sorrows I have to face.

To lose someone I loved and adored,

Under the Red Moon's day, pierced by the sword.

~*~*~*~

Grief is seeing in the dark,

Even though chased, leaves a mark.

So tell me now, answer me truthfully,

Would you spend darkness in eternity?

By: Tan Kimiko (Thx a bunch!)

"So what do we do now?" asked Misao, as Kaoru stopped her sniffling.

"Plan S?" suggested Kaoru.

"What? Why plan S, why not plan E?" asked Misao as she locked eyes with Kaoru.

"Because plan E won't work. At least in plan S we have a chance. We should take out the mission when the coast is clear," said Kaoru as she stood up.

"Are you sure?" asked Misao a bit hesitant on plan S. It was a plan that they had yet to use because they never really had to resort to that type of thing.

Kaoru nodded and the two entered the living room area.

The vampires all relaxed and smiled at them, as the two rushed up to Misao's room.

Once they heard the sliding of the door, they all gave suspicious looks.

"Plan S?" Questioned Sano.

"Plan E?" Questioned Megumi.

*Ring*

A robot zoomed over to them as Katsu answered the photographic phone, which allowed the person to see the other person who was talking on the other end.

"Hello Saitoh," said Katsu.

"We need you guys down here. Something's come up," said Saitoh urgently.

"Aoshi and I will stay. This rest of you leave," came Kenshin's voice, as he returned from Hiko's office.

"What's wrong though?" asked Shura as the vampires all stood.

"We had a break in, and we have a suspicion that it has something to do with Enishi," said Saitoh darkly.

"And the twins. We're at the office," came Tokio's voice, but her frame wasn't in the screen.

The vampires all got serious before rushing off to their office.

"You should go get ready Aoshi," said Kenshin as the door closed.

Nodding, the other vampire dashed upstairs, as Kenshin strode toward his own room. He needed to concentrate where it would be quiet without distractions.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yahiko and Tsubame thanked Cho and Kittra before rushing into the building and getting to Kamatari and Takasugi's apartment.

They knocked loudly on the door, and were greeted by a pale looking Kamatari.

"What happened?" asked Yahiko as they stepped in and closed the door.

"The News," said Takasugi as he sat on the extending sofa and pointed at the holographic screen that began to grow to show them the details.

"18-year-old Yanagi Con was killed yesterday by what inspectors say was an old sword technique using two swords. The young man's blood was drained out of him," said the anchorwoman.

Tsubame and Yahiko stared at each other in shock.

A picture of Yanagi on the floor without blood anywhere but his wounds was seen.

"Vampires. I really don't like them. We should just move to the United States and be called Independences. We won't have to deal with this anymore," said Takasugi as he clapped his hands and the screen went out.

"We can still go," said Kamatari.

"We were born here after all. I think we should just get studying. Don't you three have to exchange information," asked Tsubame as the small kitchen table expanded so that the four of them could sit there and place their homework all around. There were advantages to these things.

Tsubame couldn't put her finger on it, but she had a twisting feeling in her stomach as she remembered what she had just learned. Something wasn't right.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

There was a knock at his door.

Slowly and powerfully the vampire opened the door and was greeted by cheerful jade color-filled eyes of happiness.

"Hello," came Misao's chirpy voice as she bounded in and the door closed and vanished from behind her.

She looked around and noticed that he had a black tri-king bed, a large black desk, and the latest laptop placed on it.

"What are you doing?" asked Misao as she looked at his laptop.

"What are you doing in here?" asked Aoshi; his voice gentle in a way. Something was odd, and he had a feeling it had to do with Plan S.

"I asked you first," stated Misao as she sat in his seat, to her annoyance the seat wasn't warm.

Duh Misao! He's a vampire. Vampires don't know what thermal energy is. Remembered Misao.

Aoshi frowned upon reading her mind, and decided to keep out of it for a bit.

"I'm checking out a few things on the Internet X," answered Aoshi truthfully, as he lifted her up from around her waist and then placed her out of his seat.

Misao kicked half heartedly, as he slowly put her down. She turned around and faced him angrily, and glared at him.

Aoshi only shook his head.

"Now you answer me," ordered Aoshi.

"I'm here to get to know you better," said Misao with a smile, as she came face to face with him.

Aoshi narrowed his eyes at her before getting back to his seat.

"Hey look, I'm trying to get social here like plan S. I know that you heard. Plan is social issues," said Misao as she jumped up and sat on the edge of his floating desk.

Aoshi cocked an eyebrow at the grinning girl.

"Then why did you and Kaoru reveal so much to us?"

"Because, we want to. We know that you guys can hear us, and we want to see how you all react to it with the thought that we don't know. That's what makes our group so intelligent, and why we can do anything as long as we put out minds to it. So are we humans going to get alone with you vampires?" asked Misao with a grin at him.

Aoshi grinned and stood up, towering over her small form.

"It's fine if you don't want to," said Misao quickly as she backed away.

She turned around and was about to go out the door when she hit something hard and soft.

Looking up, she smiled nervously at the vampire in front of her.

"I never said I didn't want to get to know you better," stated Aoshi, as he walked toward her, as she took a few steps back instinctively.

Misao bumped into the table, as she looked around and cursed. This wasn't at all how she had planned it.

"Don't you want to get to know I, Aoshi, better?" He slowly advanced on her.

The simple question sent shivers down her spine, it was amazing how when she asked that question, it didn't sound so... unnerving.

Gulping she forced herself to look into his eyes.

"Well that's plan S," said Misao.

"What do you want to know about me?" Came the question, as the two were practically nose to nose.

Misao would have clasped under his gaze if the table wasn't behind her. Confused by the utter tension in the room, she only stared at him dazed.

"You didn't answer my question," said Aoshi, as he touched her jaw line with a long nail.

She pulled her head back, his nails seemed more like claws. Not wanting to get clawed, Misao took a step back.

The table suddenly vanished, and she nearly fell backwards if it wasn't for the clawed hands that wrapped themselves protectively around her then frame. She was pulled back and straight into Aoshi's fine toned chest.

"W-what happened to the table?" asked Misao confused, as she turned her head to look at the empty spot where a table was last seen.

Aoshi placed his thumb and forefinger of his right hand on her chin, so that she was forced to look into his icy orbs, that seemed to flame to life as they bore into her very soul.

Misao stood frozen into place, her legs wouldn't move, her arms seemed to have been stopped right on his chest and the other to her side. His eyes froze her into place.

Why can't I move? Questioned Misao, as she held her breath on what he might do.

"Do I scare you little one?" asked Aoshi; his breath tingling on her rosy lips.

Misao shook her head, but her heart pounded rapidly in her heart. She wasn't scared of him, oh no that wasn't it at all, she was terrified!

As if sensing her fear, the older vampire tightened his hold on her.

"You shouldn't be afraid," said Aoshi in a low voice, as he absent-mindedly stroked her ebony locks with his clawed hand.

"W-who said I was afraid?" asked Misao as she stepped back angrily.

Aoshi smirked and took a step forward so that she was in his arms again.

How does he keep doing that without me knowing? Thought Misao.

"It's speed," answered Aoshi with grin as he looked at her horror stricken face.

Misao hung her head as she leaned her forehead on his chest.

Slowly a grin formed on her lips, as Aoshi pulled her closer to him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kenshin was on the bed thinking, he had his legs crossed, and his elbow on his knee as he placed his head in his palm.

How am I suppose to tell her she can't go to school? Do I just go up to her and say, hey you can't go to school because then you'll kill people until there's an ocean of blood? Damn PPLL, and our bond! It wasn't even me that went through with it. It was Battousai. Kenshin sighed as he thought it over.

He'd finally come to the conclusion that he shouldn't hide this from Kaoru and go get her, when the door slid open and in walked a smiling Kaoru.

"Hello Kenshin," she said sweetly, too sweetly.

"Kaoru," said Kenshin with a smile. She's planning something.

"About last night," said Kaoru as she walked over to the edge of the bed once the door closed and vanished from view.

"Yes?" asked Kenshin with a smile. She's up to something, I just know it.

"Well I came to a conclusion," said Kaoru in a low taunting voice.

Kenshin cocked an eyebrow at her.

"PPLL can't be stopped. So if we created it, how did it stop from spreading or taking over you?" Asked Kaoru innocently.

He only blinked at her.

"What I want to know is, why didn't your natural instincts go up?" Asked Kaoru.

Kenshin stared deep into her sapphire orbs hoping to penetrate her mind and find out what she was really thinking, but she had somehow created a barrier around her thoughts. He only frowned at her.

"You still haven't answered me," said Kaoru as she crawled toward him on the bed like a cat.

"I'm too strong to be penetrated," said Kenshin.

"Oh really?" asked Kaoru with a grin on her lovely features.

A shudder went down Kenshin's spine as he felt her ki willingly wrapping itself around his own; the sensation was unbelievable. She was willing to accept her fate with him. As much as he liked to jump for joy at her approval, he couldn't quite shake off the idea that she was up to something.

"Yes," answered Kenshin, as Kaoru moved closer to him.

Their ki mingled and threatened to suffocate them both in the mere power of their strength.

The room began to shift and the bed became a scarlet color as the sheets, blankets, and pillows all became red. Red candles appeared around the room, and all that was there was the bed, that was like a canopy above them, and the two themselves.

The curtains around the bed slowly came down.

She's going to drive me insane, if she's going to do what I think she's going to do. Thought Kenshin as he stared into her eyes calmly despite the thoughts that were running through his mind.

"How much control do you have?" asked Kaoru, as she reached him. They were only an inch apart as they stared into each other's eyes as if to read the other's thoughts.

Not much left. Kenshin kept on his cold mask as he stared at her.

"Why do you ask? You know that I'm the strongest being on this planet, so my power is obviously stronger than all others are," stated Kenshin with a cold tone.

"Your power yes, but even warriors can loose supremacy. So I think that you can too," said Kaoru with an innocent smile that held the very opposite from her blazing eyes that held lust.

"I am Battousai," said Kenshin darkly. He would not be toyed with, even if he wanted the living beauty the way she wanted him, but he still had dignity.

Kaoru only frowned at Kenshin stood up on the bed, and was about to walk off when Kaoru kicked her legs underneath him. He jumped up so as not to trip, but upon coming down, he nearly landed on top of her if he hadn't froze himself and hovered over her thin form.

They were face to face again, Kaoru was looking up at him as he looked down at her.

Smiling, Kaoru wrapped her arms around his neck, slowly forcing him to come down so that his body was directly parallel to her own.

Sighing, Kenshin went down willingly.

Kaoru suddenly kissed him fully on the lips.

Kenshin pulled back a bit surprised, but then closed his eyes and returned the favor. But something didn't taste right. Kaoru's normal taste seemed to be mixed with something all too familiar.

He pushed his tongue into her mouth to get a better taste.

Their ki mingled in a dance and the dance grew larger and more powerful as Kaoru moaned into his mouth.

Kenshin reluctantly pulled away as he realized why she was acting this way. He pulled himself up by using his elbows as support. His amber eyes looked down at Kaoru who only smiled up at him with lazy sapphire orbs.

"What did you drink?" asked Kenshin as he stared down at her seriously.

"Does it matter?" asked Kaoru as her hands moved to his belt line.

Kenshin quickly pulled her hands away from his forbidden territory and looked into her eyes.

"What?" asked Kaoru with a pout.

"What did you drink today?" demanded Kenshin.

Kaoru frowned up at him as her hands pulled free of his grasp.

Before she could do anything, Kenshin pinned her to the bed between his legs, and moved her hands over her head so she couldn't venture anywhere. He moved his head toward her, their noses only millimeters away.

"What did you drink?" Asked Kenshin angrily, his warm breath over her lips.

Kaoru licked her lips, and coincidently touched Kenshin's with the tip of her tongue.

He would have ravished her to no end, if he wasn't sure that she wasn't really doing this.

"I drank a soft drink," said Kaoru with a smile. Her azure eyes gleamed into his own, as he watched her eyes sparkle with lust.

"What was it called?" asked Kenshin as if that her very being didn't effect hi,. It did effect him, and it was driving him crazy. She was so willing, if she wasn't possibly drunk he would have claimed her by now.

"Akron," said Kaoru with a grin.

Kenshin's eyes went wide. She was drank one of the world's strongest alcohol beverage, no wonder she was acting like this. The only two people that can handle a can without going berserk were Hiko and Katsura. Not even he himself could handle it without temporary getting confused.

"You're drunk," said Kenshin plainly, as he moved to get off her. He would not take her while she was in this state.

"Does that mean Misao is too?" asked Kaoru confused, as she cocked a head at him.

"Aoshi. Oh shit," said Kenshin, as he was about to get off of her. That could only mean that Misao was going after Aoshi, and if they got together, then the PPLL wouldn't be able to stop going and that would cause major chaos.

Before he could move, Kaoru wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his waist. He looked down at her incredulously.

"Let me go Kaoru," said Kenshin dangerously. This wasn't good at all. He wouldn't be able to fight her if she insisted, and he could never resist her.

Kaoru shook her head as she suddenly pulled him down on top of her from his moments hesitation about her. A moan escaped her lips, and Kenshin bit his lower lip to try and stop himself from groaning in response.

This is great. I'm pinned against Kaoru, and I can't move without hurting her. Damn it to hell!

Kenshin's head was stuck to the crook of her neck, he was about to open his mouth in protest but realized that her neck was wide to his exposure. Instinctively, he licked her pale skin and grinned at her moan. As if instinct had taken over, he opened his mouth widely to show his fangs as he slowly moved toward the creamy milk skin that was pulsing with the delicious drugged blood he knew flowed in her veins.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Aoshi looked down at Misao, who hadn't moved for the last five minutes. He shook his head, he knew that he shouldn't be doing this, but he waited a millennia for her.

He pulled back and bowed his head.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..." began Aoshi, but delicate fingers placed upon his lips stopped him.

"I was the one that said that I wanted to get to know you better. That means knowing every part of you," said Misao, as she leaned herself against him.

Aoshi stared at her in disbelief, but didn't show it. Something was wrong, and he knew it.

"No suspicions," said Misao, as her breath went over his lips.

Akron? Aoshi stared at Misao and realized that the soft drink that she and Kaoru had drunk wasn't sodas at all. That would mean Kaoru Kenshin... Realizing that the PPLL that those two would make would cause mayhem, he made to leave.

Before he could turn, Misao placed her lips on his as her slim hands shyly wrapped themselves around his neck as she tiptoed to kiss him.

Aoshi stood there dumbfounded as he registered what she was doing. Letting the thought fly out of his mind, he wrapped his arms around her thin frame and deepened the kissed; executing a moan of pleasure from the female's body.

The room seemed to move around, as Misao fell backward and onto the bed with Aoshi above her. She smiled at him with a flushed face as she stared into his amused eyes.

Misao licked her suddenly dry lips, and suddenly felt a set of fangs against her own canine teeth.

Wanting to learn more about him, Misao used her tongue to trace the outer part of his fangs, and the tips. She pulled away a bit when, her tongue began to bleed from the sharp ends of his developed fangs. But before she could get far, Aoshi's lips were on her own tongue as he suckled on the blood.

Misao moaned, causing a trimmer to go into Aoshi and downward to a closed territory.

She looked into his eyes and noticed that they had turned amber from the blood that he was tasting. He began to move them both to the center of the bed, before moving on top of Misao so that he was parallel to her body with his own. The Akron in her blood had gone into his own, and was causing the older vampire to forget everything but the beauty before him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Soujiro and Shura were the first to enter Kenshin's office. It was in Kyoto, the same one where Kenshin had sensed Kaoru again after almost 1,000 years. The room was still read, as the solar powered fireplace sparked with flames.

"Took you long enough," came the cold voice of Saitoh Hajime.

"Saitoh. So what information do you have?" asked Shura, ignoring the tone in the man's voice.

"The old man and twins have yet to be found, but we have found out a bit about Shishio and where he's hiding," said Tokio with a smile as she appeared.

"Anji is checking it out as we speak. Shishio had died in the area where Battousai had the place purified for the death of his mate, allowing no one but ourselves to enter, or have the risk of becoming purified. It was the exact spot of the Six Arches in the olden day Kyoto," said Saitoh.

"So what does that have to do with anything?" asked Sanosuke's voice, as he and his mate stepped out of the elevator.

"It means moron, that Shishio can not gain immortality from the twins unless going to the same place that he lost his powers in the first place. That way he can grow strength from his old powers, and become immortal," stated Saitoh, as he took out a cigar and lit it.

Sanosuke glared at the man angrily with the deepest loathing.

"So Shishio can not do this as long as the symbol of Battousai is still there. The twins are useless to him unless he can get to the temple of the Six Arches," said Tokio with a smile.

"Where's he hiding then?" asked Megumi.

"In Metallic Kyoto. It's close enough to the temple so they can gain access to it quickly, but far enough so they won't get purified. As we've said before, Anji is checking it out," answered Tokio.

"Then that leaves Enishi as our main problem then. He has too much back up support," said Sanosuke bitterly.

"No. To complete the immortality, there are certain rules. For one, the twins must loose their powers at the same time. Meaning that unless Shishio and Enishi drain their power at the exact same time under the Red Moon, then the twins will become vampires on their own. That means that these two are very powerful," said Saitoh darkly.

"How does Shishio plan to get to the temple, and restore his old powers?" asked Katsu, as he and Tae entered the room.

"We don't know. But as long at Battousai lives, then the seal can't be broken, or so I think," said Saitoh as he rubbed his chin.

"So there's another way to take off the seal?" asked Shura shocked and terrified.

"No. But if a pure a soul goes through the temple, nothing will happen. Just because dark souls can't go in, it doesn't mean it can't go out," stated Soujiro.

"Exactly. Shishio could trick a human into going in there and taking back out his soul," said Saitoh.

"Wait up! How can someone just take out a soul?" questioned Sanosuke.

"That's another problem that Shishio has. He needs the sword that killed him, so that it can drain the power inside the temple and give it back to him. Only the blade with his past blood, will be able to hand back Shishio his full powers," said Tokio.

They all fell silent before looking at one another with wide eyes.

"Battousai's sword," said the vampires in union.

"He's going to go after Battousai's sword," said Soujiro.

"We don't even know where he stashed it. There's no way Shishio could beat Kenshin after 1,000 years of training," said Sanosuke trying to act calm.

"Let's hope so," said Saitoh bitterly.

"Come on guys, we need to have faith in our Lord," said Tae.

"We do, but about our Lady? I don't think that he can take it if she leaves him again. He might not want to wait another 1000 years," said Katsu.

Tae bit her lower lip.

"Let's just hope that he changes her soon," said Saitoh as he made his way to the elevator.

"Where are you going?" asked Sano.

"If Shishio does get back his power, which I doubt, we must find the twins so that he doesn't finish his task," answered Saitoh before getting on the elevator with Tokio in tow.

The others looked at each other, before rushing toward the elevator so they could help find them.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Instead of a moan of pain that Kenshin had expected from his beloved after his fangs dug into her body, it was a moan of pleasure that urged him to drink his fill. He could feel Kaoru's body writhe underneath him, but to his horror her mind didn't feel pain, it felt pleasure. The transformation didn't drain as much power as Kenshin had thought, it only heightened things for them.

Kenshin finally pulled away as he licked his fangs clean. Her blood had flowed so smoothly down his throat like ice cold water on a hot day. It's just that this water was much more refreshing. It brought his mind, body, and soul to peace as he looked down at her.

Kaoru's hair was now flowing like black silk around the red pillows, as her eyes slowly came back to its normal blue. Fangs slowly appeared as she looked up at him and licked her fangs, as she moved her new clawed hand on his shoulders to push him down below her.

Her eyes flashed amber as she kissed him hungrily on the lips, trying to get to his blood.

(A/N: Kaoru's now a vampire. Red eyes means that she's the new and improved Kirei, amber eyes means that she's still Kaoru, and sapphire is also Kaoru just a bit more human like than when she has amber eyes.)

Kenshin moved one of his clawed fingers to his neck, and lightly pressed so that trickles of blood dropped onto his finger.

Looking at the delicious red liquid, Kaoru licked his fingers cleaned before lapping at his own blood.

"Bite me. You need blood," whispered Kenshin in her ear, as he held her head to his neck to encourage her.

Kenshin waited for the pain, but none of it came as Kaoru's fangs penetrated his skin. It was the first time in 1000 years that anyone was able to take blood from him. There was no pain, only contentment, only her. His desire to claim her grew, as the room began to switch forms as their ki grew from their ministrations.

Kaoru looked up at Kenshin when she finished, and smiled. Blood coated her fangs as Kenshin pushed her to the bottom so he could devour her mouth, and she willingly allowed him.

Blood. The liquid of life. Kaoru had never thought that such a thick substance that was so valuable, could make someone yearn for more. Kenshin's blood was delicious. The burning liquid coursed through her body, and she felt herself grow stronger. Her desire for him blazed inside her, as she felt his comforting ki envelope her, to become one with her own.

She needed him. Something in her cried for him. Cried for her to lose herself and join with him. To step from her lighted path, and join him on his darker one. It didn't matter anymore, all she wanted was to be with him. Nothing was going to get in her way. She would follow him to the ends of the world. She would be with him, and join him in the darkness in eternity.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Aoshi trailed hot kisses from his love's temple to her jaw line, as his fangs once in a while scrapped her skin making her moan for him.

His nibbled on her earlobe before trailing down to her neck. The one place that he wanted so badly to mark, for her to be known as his woman, as his mate. Her pulse was pumping quickly, as if inviting him to take her, to claim her, to devour her.

"Aoshi," said Misao, as she looked up into his eyes.

"Yes," asked Aoshi as he nuzzled her neck.

"I don't want to be a vampire yet," said Misao, as she allowed tears to flow down her cheeks.

Aoshi sat up and looked at her confused.

"Why?" asked , as he placed her into his lap easily.

Misao shook her head and wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest as her tears spilled. She nuzzled deeper into his forest scent and shook her head.

"Tell me koibito," ordered Aoshi softly, as he tilted her chin to look him in the eyes. He was hurt when he saw her saddened eyes as tears filled her emerald orbs. "Don't cry koishii that would mean that I failed you," said Aoshi ever so gently, as he placed a kiss on her lips.

He didn't want to fail her a second time, and he wouldn't because there might not be a third. It was either now or never, and he was determined to get her to change her mind. He didn't know what he'd do if he lost her again.

Misao closed her eyes and let his warmth envelop her small frame. He made her feel so safe, secure, and loved. She could only trust whatever it was he said, and know that whatever he did was it for a good reason.

She slowly fluttered open her eyes and looked into his soft blue hues.

"Answer me Misao," said Aoshi, as his clawed hands traced her a trail from her left temple to her collarbone and stopped between the valley of her breasts that only had a thin shirt between her and his hands. He lifted his eyes to meet her own.

"M-m-my parents were killed by vampires. They were sucked dry," said Misao in a low whisper. Being a vampire, Aoshi easily picked up every word as clear as day.

Aoshi held her close to him, and closed his eyes, as he moved his head into her black locks. He took in her intoxicating scent of flowers before tightening his hold on her.

"You still have until the new moon to decide koibito. I won't force," said Aoshi silently into her hair.

Misao felt the words more than heard them. She moved her head into the crook of his neck and closed her eyes.

Aoshi smiled down at her, as he stood up with the lovely bundle in his arms. He slowly placed her on the bed and then covered her in blankets.

He laid down beside her, and was just content in watching her breath in and out. Peace filled him for once, and he slowly allowed his eyes to close.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
