Misao gets to forget who her boyfriend is because of some memory-erasing
spell. Her boyfriend gets his memory partially erased as well and goes off
to war. Will the two find each other again? Or will Misao give up and find
a new love? And who is this guy? - This is AU.
Hey, there! Wow, look who decided to take courage and upload a story [ahem, *chapter*]..! I still can't believe it.
This will be an AU. [Humor will come later] And it's my first (uploaded) fic. *speaks gravely* You have been warned. ^_^
If you're still somehow interested, read on..!
Disclaimer: Okay, let's think rationally. I'm a 17-year-old girl that just got back from her graduation trip. I'm still trying to get used to the old, boring life as it is. If you thought I owned Rurouni Kenshin... you've got a lot of imagination.
"We just have to do this. Otherwise, our daughter will suffer, and we don't want that." A male voice said.
"But, is the boy really willing to fight?" The man's wife asked.
"Yes. He told me that. He was going to let our daughter know tonight."
"Misao won't like that."
"We aren't the ones who should worry about it."
"Should I call both Misao and the boy? It's getting close to dinner time."
"Yes. Please do call them."
"I'll be back in a minute."
The woman, Makimachi Yukiko, left the study room to go find her daughter Misao and her boyfriend. Yukiko and her husband, Makimachi Katsuhiro, had been discussing this for a couple of days. Misao's boyfriend decided he should take part in the war that was coming to their lands.
And the Makimachis were well aware of the upcoming violence. They were almost positive that Misao's boyfriend, together with many more, would die in the battlefield. And Misao's heart would be broken forever. Thus, their decision...
"Dad? We're here. What did you want to tell us?" Misao said once she and her boyfriend were in the study room.
"I believe your boyfriend told you something today." Mr. Makimachi said.
Misao's eyes clouded for a moment. "Yes, he did."
"Your mother and I don't want you to suffer once war settles itself in our country."
"Wh-what do you mean?" Misao asked, confused. All the while, her boyfriend looked at her father, somehow expecting what was about to come next.
"I'm sorry, my dear Misao." Mr. Makimachi said, and then waved his right hand in front of the two teenagers' eyes.
All of a sudden, both lost their consciousness and fell to the floor. Mrs. Makimachi caught hold of Misao's body and left the study room, heading straight for Misao's room. As for her boyfriend, Mr. Makimachi caught him as well and left with him towards his house, where he would be meeting other soldiers the following morning to leave the city.
It was better this way.
The next morning, and as if nothing had happened, Misao's boyfriend woke up, got dressed in his uniform, met his soon-to-be allies-in-the- battlefield and left the place together with the others. Off to war, he was.
Misao's morning was nothing like her boyfriend's. She did remember something had happened. She did remember meeting her parents. She was with somebody else, but she couldn't remember who. Then, there was something about an apology... yes! Her father was apologising... to her? Maybe. But why? Then a flash... and then all went black.
Misao's father was known to have a special 'power': he was able to erase memories. That was what people said, anyway. It was just a rumor. ... right?
So that was it... her father could have erased her memory! She knew it was true. Deep down, her soul told her that was what happened. But it was as if she tried to resist it. Maybe that's why she actually remembered being with him in the first place.
Who gave him the right to erase part of her memory, anyway? What had she done to deserve something like that? That was still a mystery to Misao.
Her head started to ache. So Misao decided to sleep for a while and then start asking questions.
"Is he gone?" Yukiko asked Katsuhiro.
"Yes. They left this morning. She hasn't woken up, has she?"
"No, not yet. This won't be easy for her..."
"She'll have to get through it, though."
To be continued...
Just one important question: I need to know who the 'Misao's boyfriend' should be. I was thinking about making it an AxM, but then Aoshi would be OOC. The same goes to Soujiro. Options?: Sou x Misao, Sano x Misao, or Aoshi x Misao. You choose! But then, don't tell me I didn't warn you, alright? It's up to you, guys..!
As for this chapter, it was shorter than what I expected, but it's because I just can't continue with the plot if I don't know who to pair Misao with. Once I get the answers to the question above, I'll continue writing much longer chapters, that's for sure.
Uhm, I'm not a native English speaker... do you think I need a beta reader? I don't consider my English all that bad, but then again... I dunno.
Okay, you know, comments, criticism, flames, death threats and chocolates are accepted ^_^
