Xx Day 2 xX
I had gotten Meg's and Kaoru's dresses today and they were hidden away along with my dress. I had spent the day relaxing with Sano and the others trying not to think about what was going to happen in two days. I loved seeing the both of them fume and walk off rather grumpy as I wouldn't tell them about their dresses. Sano and Kenshin tried to pry it out of me as well but I told them they would absolutely LOVE what they are going to wear. I giggled as they blushed a little and I soon took off before anything more could be said. I left them to their own thoughts.
I had not seen Aoshi all day as Kaoru said he had to go find a suit to wear. I blushed at hearing this and it was her turn to giggle.
I was walking in the park just across from the training hall but it was all closed up for the day so I decided I'd spend it hanging around in this nice park. I leaned against the railing of the bridge going over the lake and looked at my reflection in the water. It occasionally rippled with a few ducks swimming by.
"Hey Misao!" I turned my head to the right to see Kaoru walking over towards me. I smiled and silently waved looking into the water once more. She placed her hand on my shoulder and I turned to face her and she spoke.
"How are you feeling Misao?" I thrust my hands out to her and she grabbed a hold of them looking at me worriedly.
"Does that answer your question Kaoru." I spoke and took my hands away and sat on the railing instead. Kaoru followed as well and spoke once more.
"Misao you shouldn't worry so much. Aoshi is a really nice guy and I'm not saying that because he's my brother either." I took in her words not saying anything and she spoke again.
"I know he may seem distant at first and a little cold but that's just the way he is. I know you two will sort things out. I just think you need to be a bit more patient with Aoshi because he's…"
"Different?" I reply back to her cutting her off and looking over at her. I watch as she nods her head and she replies again.
"Well yes but you see Aoshi is more special then anything beca-"
"He's a little reluctant about showing his true self because he'll think people won't like him?" I spoke cutting her off once more.
"Wow Misao have you two actually talked or something?" Kaoru spoke while smiling at me.
"Ah sort of I guess, not much just little things. I practically had to force something out of him but I was actually honored he told me some things about himself. I too felt it right that he should know something about me too."
"Misao everything will be fine I know it." I silently nod at her looking at the ground and jumped off and spoke softly to Kaoru once more.
"I'll see you in a couple of days Kaoru." I watched her frown slightly and she too got off and walked in the other direction.

Xx Day 1 xX
Another day had come to a close and I was walking to my room with Sayuki following close behind. I hadn't met up with any of the others not even Aoshi today. I had to spend the entire day being dragged around by my mother and future mother-in-law. It was not a good day. I felt like I wanted to sleep forever. I stood near the window and turned my head to Sayuki as she spoke softly to me.
"Good night Miss Makimachi, I hope you sleep well for tomorrow..." And with that Sayuki left.
I flopped down on my bed exhausted about the events, which occurred today. Miss Makimachi...my name will no longer be that tomorrow... I spoke inside my head. Megumi and Kaoru would still be fuming about not seeing any of the dresses but they'd find out tomorrow. I hope they fit, I spoke inside my head yet again. Tomorrow afternoon just a bit after lunch they'll show up and be presented with their dresses.
I changed into a tank top and some loose black pants and curled up in my bed. I closed my eyes and whispered to myself and then fell asleep.
"Goodbye Misao Makimachi..."
