Why?What?Shutup?- Ain't it though?

Misao awoke feeling better than ever as she slowly opened her eyes and a bright smile already playing upon her lips. She wiggled slightly into her blanket, still thinking about the amazing dream she had the night before.

Her hand softly rested on her mouth which remembered the feeling of his lips on hers still. She remembered the rush she got as she confessed her undying love for Aoshi to his face. It really was a wonderful dream, but then she realized that it was just that. A dream. Nothing but a dream.

At that realization a single silent tear rolled down her cheek. 'How can such a beautiful dream make me feel so...so horrible?' He quiet tears dripped sorrowfully onto the cold Aoiya floor.

Suddenly she noticed something strange though. This wasn't her room. The place in which her futon she was sleeping on was in was not hers, but Aoshi's room. The tears had finally stopped at the fact of his room being where she was. But something was still slightly off.

'Where is Aoshi?' His futon had already been folded and put away. Misao's heart leapt with a new excitement. 'It...it wasn't a dream....It was real!' She stood up from the floor and stretched, a bright smile plastered on her face once again at the thought of her dream come true.

'But still...where is Aoshi?' As if reading her thoughts, the shoji door slid open to reveal the tall pale and handsome Shinomori Aoshi. "So you finally decided to wake up." He said, a smirk playing on his lips.

"I've been up for about ten minutes trying to convince myself that last night wasn't a dream." She replied with a yawn.

"Anything but." He chuckled lightly, but his voice still remained in its same emotionless tone. Misao however, could sense his true feelings even though he never expressed them. 'Why couldn't I tell his feelings before?' she thought. 'Duh, because even if I could I wouldn't believe them.'

"Would you like some tea Misao?" He asked, bringing attention to the tray he was carrying in one hand.

"Why I do believe that that's the first time you've brought me tea, Aoshi." She joked.

Aoshi sat down, a single chuckle escaping his lips. "I must agree." His legs sat crossed as he set the tray down and Misao folded and put away her futon and sat down next to him at the tea.

The two of them silently drank their tea. For Aoshi it was normal to drink his tea without conversation, but Misao was still too shy to talk to him like they should with that sort of relationship. "Misao."

Misao, startled at the sudden break in silence, looked up at Aoshi, tea shaking in her hands. "Uh...ye-yes Aoshi?" she asked shyly.

"Why do you still act as though you are scared of me?" Aoshi asked, his gaze never looking upon her, but instead down at his tea.

"Uh...um...I-I'm not acting like that."

Aoshi smirked and looked back at her. "That how come you refuse to speak to me?"

"Because it's hard to talk as though we have a relationship when I don't even know what the heck we are." She said.

"We are a couple. What else would we be after saying we love each other?" Though he was talking about love, Aoshi's voice still never changed.

"And a very strange couple at that."

"What exactly do you mean by that?" Aoshi raised a brow at her previous comment.

"As in I am an energetic young female ninja and you are a mid twenty year old anti-social swordsman." She stated simply.

"You have stated an obvious point."

Misao giggled and looked back up at him. "Uh Aoshi?"

The dark quiet Oniwaban member looked up from his tea to face her at long last. "Yes Misao?"

Could we go somewhere? You know, like a couple should?" Her innocence amused Aoshi.

"You mean like a date."

"Well uh...yeah I guess."

"I seem to remember what happened on you last date." He closed his eyes and returned to his tea once again.

"Are you saying that you would try something like Kansuke did?"

"Are you saying you would let me?" he asked somewhat seductively, his eyes, now baring into hers, brighter than ever.

"Would you really want to?" Her self consciousness was showing greatly.

Aoshi set his tea down and scooted closer to her saying, "I've told you once and I will tell you again, I love you with my heart's deepest desire."

"Actually you never said that to me you said mphf-"

He silenced her rambling by crushing his mouth onto hers hard and passionately. Her eyes were quickly to close as his tongue roamed across the roof of her mouth. She melted into his arms as he gently lay her down on the bare wooden floor of the Aoiya.

Realization finally hit her as she opened her eyes and gazed deeply into his deep steel blue ones. "A-Aoshi."

"Don't worry." He said huskily, his gaze never wavering from her eyes. "I know when to stop." He finished his sentence before covering her in kisses as proof of his love fore her, which she eagerly participated as saying, "I love you too."

############

The two lovers sat in the corner of the room, both smiling at each other with soft toned eyes. "So Aoshi."

"Hm?"

"How's about that date?"

"You aren't going to give up on that no matter what are you?" He asked lazily.

"Nope." She replied with a grin.

"Then where do you suppose we go?"

"Well...umm...What about a tea house?"

"Okay." He grinned down at her. "I know the perfect place to go."

Misao smiled up at him again. 'For how he act around other, he is so gentle to the ones he loves.' She laid her head against his chest and breathed in his scent deeply as she listened to his lulling heartbeat. "I wonder what Omasu thinks I'm up to."

"Omasu thinks you are in your room asleep like you usually are at this time."

The two of them sat in silence like that for a few more moments before, "Misao!" Omasu's voice interrupted the romantic scene.

"She obviously doesn't think so anymore." Misao stated. "I guess I will have to tell her."

"Yes. I guess that is so."

"Misao? where are you?" Her voice rang again.

"Coming!"

###10 minutes later###

"What? Oh I'm so happy!" Omasu said as she gave misao a booby hug.

"Can't...breathe!" Misao rasped from between Omasu's breasts.

"I don't care! Just let me hug you!"
