Xx Day 6 xX

Hours had past as I made it to the shop and I had been sitting down in one of the large chairs flipping through many magazines yet again. I glanced to my right noticing an elderly woman sit down and wait for me to finish.

"Looking for anything in particular dear?" She had spoken nicely to me.

"Something that isn't so disgusting and doesn't have a zillion bows on it." I blurted out while flipping over another page. I slapped my hand over my mouth shaking my head but opened my eyes when I heard the elder woman chuckle at what I said.

"Come on dear, lets take a look around." She took my hand in hers making me stand up.

"But it needs to be ready in less then a week!" I spoke alarmingly to her but she shook her head and led me around the store to look at different dresses. As we walked she would tell me to see what I liked about the dresses and what I hated. She wrote it all down on paper. She soon took all my measurements and told me to come back in two days to see if anything needed adjustments. I told her about my two new friends and she said to grab their measurements and give them to her when I came back. I picked out some fabric for my dress and for the other two dresses as well so the elderly woman can get the other two ladies to "whip" them up when I bring in the measurements.

I left the store and got to the corner and spun around not having a clue at what the woman was going to make. I walked around trying to locate a cab and soon stopped when I saw a teenager walk past with a backpack. Wait a minute…what about school? I finally flagged down a cab and raced back home wanting to know what was going to happen about that.

I arrived home opening the door and slamming it shut taking my socks and shoes off and throwing them near the front door.

"MUM, DAD A WORD NOW!" I yelled walking into the main living room. I stood frozen at the entrance looking at the scene in front of me. My parents were sitting down, and had stopped casually chatting away to another couple. My eyes widened the slightest when I noticed Aoshi was slouched in another lounge chair looking rather bored. Oh shit! This must be his parent's! I spoke inside myself.

"Misao hush!" My mother spoke to me and got up dragging me over. I glanced my eyes over to Aoshi and noticed he had sat up properly as he received a death glare from his own mother. I was standing in front of another chair but was unable to sit down as my mother spoke again.

"Danny, Kay, Aoshi, this is our daughter Misao." I bit my lip nervously as the room fell silent as they observed me.

"Oh Aoshi isn't she adorable?" I gave his mother a nice smile but inside I felt sick. Now she really did make me sound like a small child.

"Excuse me…" I watched as did everyone else as Aoshi stood up and left the room walking outside and into the backyard.

Minutes went by as I slouched in the chair half-listening to my parents and Aoshi's talk about old times. Aoshi's mother snapped me out of my boredom by speaking to me.

"Misao sweetie, could you go bring him back inside it's nearly time for lunch." I nodded silently and left the room.

I was standing outside and could feel his presence coming from one of the large trees. I walked under it looking up to see one of his feet dangling from the branch he sat on, while the other was up drawn as he rested his head on it. It was strange to see him up in the tree like this but at least to me we had one thing in common. We both loved hiding and climbing trees.

"Your mum said to come and get you as its time for lunch." I watched as he landed back on the ground soundlessly. The wind blew his long bangs around and all I could do was stare silently at him looking deeply into those unreadable eyes. He turned away not saying anything and walked back into the house.

Lunch had passed quickly as we didn't speak at all. We were walking around the back yard as our parents forced us too interact so we could "Get to know each other better". Like who the hell can know someone in less then a day! I spoke inside myself again. I drifted off by myself and walked into the training hall grabbing my kunai's and sitting on the floor about 8 meters away from the wooden doll. I began throwing them aimlessly at the wooden doll not even looking at it. I was on my last kunai and heard a deep voice come from the front entrance.

"Not bad." I screamed and threw the kunai at the door and my eyes widened when I noticed it was Aoshi. I stood up and watched amazed as he twisted gracefully around grabbing the handle of the small knife before it embedded into him or the wall and threw it back over at the wooden doll digging it straight into its heart region. My chest heaved rapidly at being so frightened like that. He was so quiet and secretive I didn't even hear him come inside. I didn't feel his presence either! I guess I was too annoyed at this whole situation we are stuck in.

"I'm sorry…" I spoke weakly to him and bowed my head in apology and also in embarrassment.

"I'll pretend you were so deep in thought about what our parents are doing to us so I won't take it personally." Aoshi spoke absently while walking over to the doll to grab all the kunai's. I smirked and lifted my head to watch him walk to the doll. Maybe he wasn't so mean after all, I spoke inside my head once more. He was wearing a pair of black jeans that fit him perfectly and a loose black shirt. I watched closely as his arm muscles flexed when he grabbed all the knives out of the wooden doll.

"Why are you watching me?" My eyes widened as he had spoken this without turning around to look at me. How the hell does he do that? I silently thought to myself. I quickly walked to the cupboard and grabbed the pouch the knives were placed in and walked back over to him not saying anything. I hoped to god that I wasn't blushing too bad.

"Why are you not saying anything? Is this because of what you said in the mall yesterday?" I gasped and knew my entire face was red at being so embarrassed and the fact that he really had heard me that day.

"Che! You really are a kid if you act like this!" Aoshi spoke again. I could feel the tears wanting to fall from my eyes but I sucked them back bravely and grabbed the knives from his hands not saying a word and walked back over to the cupboard.

"Come on Misao, it was a joke!" He spoke as if trying to apologise by making up something else that was suppose to mean an apology.

"You are being such a jerk! I am not a little kid Aoshi! I have feelings too you know! You're not the only one who is frustrated about this!" I spoke turning around and brushing the tears that escaped my eyes. He stood quietly looking at me not saying a single word which was making me angry. I fisted one of my hands and spoke angrily again shutting my eyes not wanting to look at him.

"Get lost Aoshi! I never asked for this and I certainly didn't ask for someone as cold hearted like you!" Misao that was most harsh of you, A voice inside of me spoke. I quickly opened my eyes wanting to apologise but Aoshi was gone. I slid to the floor and cried into my hands while mumbling to no one, as it was only I who was in the training hall.

"I'm sorry Aoshi…" My crying had sent me into darkness.
