Hitokiri of the Bloodless Moon: Queer Eye for the Gay Guy! I'm watching it right now...why? I have no clue but I am.

Okay, enough of that....just review this please.

Really touching and I feel the same way so I hate what I am about to write but it is important to the plot....and this is just another a/n that is just an excuse for me to say more things in order to put off this chapter....well, here we go, please review cause I ain't getting non for this.



Kyoto Ninja

Chapter 4: The Proposal




Inichi Kasha sat in the garden of the mountain base of the Sakura Ninja's, The sun had just risen over the rise of the mountain and now, the hidden garden was filled with the golden rays. The flowers began to bloom as the sun light hit them, and a rose was just starting to open. Inichi watched it, he ran his fingers through his long black hair and sighed. He pursed his lips and frowned at the flower, though he was not mad at it. He was mad at hi 'Fiancé'. She was a beautiful girl, there was no doubt about that but she was so....obstinate to him. Why did she not see that this marriage would be beneficial to both of them?

Inichi stood and started to pace the paved walkway of the garden, he needed to talk to her, he needed to make her understand. But, it was way to early to have a talk and it would be inappropriate for him to go to her room. In order for this to work, she needed to know that he would not touch her in any sexual way. Inichi sat back down on the bench he had been on before. His foot started to tap as he thought about the raven, his raven. He would have her....no matter what.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Misao woke when the door to her room unlocked a Kin walked in with her breakfast. Misao's tears had dried and now there was no trace of them on her pillow or face. Her blue eyes flashed to Kin, who smiled at her. She sat down the tray and then walked over to the wardrobe. Misao smiled back and climbed out of bed.

"Good morning Misao, what do think of rose on you?" Kin asked, she pulled out a kimono of a light rose color with roses embroidered in a dark red on the bottom of the skirt.

"Is there anyway that I can get out of wearing a kimono?" Misao asked as she sat down to her breakfast.

"Well," Kin went to rummage in the bottom of the wardrobe, "Here are your clothes," Kin said bringing the Onniwabanshuu Ninja colors out of the closet. Misao smiled at her.

"Thank you, I feel like myself in those," Misao said.

"I'll just get your bath started," Kin said, she disappeared into the connected bath house. Misao quickly got done with her breakfast.

"I hope Kasha-sama does not mind you not wearing a kimono," Kin said as Misao came into the bathhouse.

"Why should he?" Misao asked.

"Well, I'm not sure, but he always like the women in a kimono," Kin replied.

"Well, if he wants this stupid marriage to work out than he should just get used it, I am the Okashira of the Onniwabanshuu and I think that I have been pushed around for long enough," Misao replied with a frown.

"I believe that you are right, I hope that you can make him settle down," Kin replied, this made Misao stop, she had been buisy getting out of her night gown when it hit her....If the Onniwabanshuu and the Sakura Ninja's were to combine, than, there would be more power for them. They could destroy any other Ninja clan that decided to fight against them. Hell, they could also wriggle their way into the Meiji Government and manipulate it anyway they want.

"Could I do that?" Misao asked herself out loud.

"Do what?" Kin asked as she turned away from the tub.

"N-nothing, just talking to myself," Misao said as she stepped into the hot water.

"I will leave you now, I have things to do, but Yuki will come if you need help getting dressed," Kin said.

"Umm, no thank you, I can manage," Misao said as she relaxed in the lavender scented water. Kin nodded her head, meaning that she had heard Misao and then left. Misao sighed, glad to be alone; she had to think about the marriage thing. Could she really marry Kasha? Could she do some thing that her heart and all of her being told her not to do?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Yuki walked slowly into the hidden garden, she saw that Inichi was sitting at the low Japanese styled table in his favorite spot of the garden. She walked over and set the tea tray down. She did not say anything as she watched the man as she poured the tea. Kasha was staring out into the distance. It was when the cup clinked onto the saucer that he noticed the young girl.

"Please have the Okashira of the Onniwabanshuu come here for tea later," he said, it was meant as an order even though he phrased it as a question. He took his tea and sipped at it. Yuki had gone, and he was alone again, alone to think about how he was to get Misao Mikamachi to marry him. He was sure that after a while they would love each other, but, it would just be a power play for their Ninja' groups at first; who would be dominated over the other would have to be talked about as well.

It was then that the door to the Garden opened and Misao, dressed in her ninja outfit, walked over. Yuki set out another cup and filled it with tea.

"We need to talk about this Marriage you are wanting," Misao started in.

"I was hoping that you would consider it," Inichi said as he sipped at his tea.

"What, would the danger be to the Onniwabanshuu?" Misao asked.

"None, they would still have control over Kyoto but the Sakura Ninja's would be able to travel freely within said city," Inichi replied.

"Huh, I don't believe that, but, as Okashira of the Onniwabanshuu I must consider both sides to this marriage," Misao said.

"What do you want out of this Marriage?" Inichi asked.

"Love," Misao replied, "I love someone already, but the question is....would you be willing to marry me on love and not on the political agenda of you clan?" Misao asked.

"Misao, love...will you marry me?" Inichi asked as he took Misao's free hand into his. She looked up at him, doubt evident in her eyes.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Ichiro smiled as he saw Soujiro, he rushed up to his friend, they stood in the middle of the Aoiya court yard as they embraced quickly and then pulled apart.

"I know were your love is," Ichiro said happily.

"L-love?" Soujiro choked out.

"Misao Mikamachi....remember her?" Ichiro smirked.

"Where is she?" Soujiro asked, his smile had fallen from his face and a fire burned in his eyes.

"Slow down lover boy, we need to talk to Aoshi and Okina first," Ichiro said as he started to walk towards the Inn, Pulling Soujiro along behind him.

"You ain't gonna score a kiss with her if you fail on your first try," Ichiro went on as Soujiro tried to deny what Ichiro already knew.
