Chapter 2: to a new journey
(A/n play music from Boys be: Episode of Sayama when Kyoichi was looking for Sayama when he forgot about their date)
Misao...
Misao kept on running until nothing was to be seen of the villages, she didn't care where she would go nor what would happen to her, all she wanted to do was go as far as she could from Aoiya, away from Aoshi...
She can feel her whole body go weak, as she tried to hang on to her dwindling energy left. She can feel the rain slid through her face as it poured continuously on the dark skies. She felt a gust of cold wind swiftly touch her skin and passed through her fleeting from every direction. Then all of a sudden she felt her body collapse in pain and felt her feet suddenly go numb...
Unable to see her way because of the thick mist covering the whole place (which means she couldn't see much) she then accidentally tripped onto a pile of rock which led her to fall flat faced on the ground hitting a puddle of mud that went spluttering all over her face as well as her body. She made no distinct movements as she lay there in a pile of dirt; She just blankly stared onto an open space of what seems like nothing but air. She wasn't moving nor blinking, she just lay there gasping for breath...
The rain hadn't stopped, for it kept pouring and the sound of it kept ringing over her head like insane. She felt the whole world slowly shrink beneath her. She wanted to call out for help, but it was impossible for her to even move. She was lost...
She then suddenly felt her eyes cringe as she try to hold back her tears as everything came flashing back to her thoughts, like a bullet slowly passing through her heart. She remembered how Aoshi spoke so cold to her, leaving her without a single friendly smile or greeting only a glare and a cold stare. The more she thought of it the more her emotions took over her and that made her feel weak, she can no longer hold back her tears as it slowly fell from the side of her eyelids, then down to her cheeks and onto the ground where it disappeared with the rain. She lay in the ground helpless and weak. Her body was in complete shambles with her clothes tattered and ripped, her hair damped and wet, and she looked pale and ill. She can feel her heart beat faster and faster. Her right foot was bleeding, for it must have hit a piece of rock when she hit the ground, causing her left foot to be immobilized. Blood continuously ran down her thighs as it mixed with the rain. She felt her head slowly felt drowsy and Aching with pain. Her whole body was marked with cuts and bruises, which in my opinion were from dozens of thorns that she passed through when she was unconsciously running in the forest. She was trapped in the darkness in a middle of a place that seemed covered with trees and bamboo shoots. She was alone, all alone in the dark empty forest. She had gone weak, like a fragile object that with one movement will break and die.
There's been no single sound to be heard, and the rain seems never to pass out. She wasn't able to see much, only from the small rays of the skies that passed through the trees that gave very little light that only shadows can be seen. She looked pale and bedraggled, yet still so radiant with a distinct beauty.
The rain had no sooner stopped, and the skies have turned back into blue skies as night ended and daybreak had slowly shown out. Misao lay very still on a pool of mud (she has no choice) where she kept crying and crying like a lost child, but more painful and pitiful. The sun has begun to rise up, and everything seems to turn bright, as little rays of sunshine slowly crept through the forest.
Misao then suddenly saw something from behind the grasses, something that caught her every attention. It took her thoughts out of her head. And from the side of her lips there grew a slight curve, revealing a smile so weak yet she looked so radiant and beautiful (in spite of all the dirt in her face). What she saw from under the grasses were sprouts of bud slowly blooming into a bright yellow flowers, it was a very spectacular sight as it slowly brought back memories from her past...
Flashback:
Misao walked cheerfully in a meadow full of yellow flowers, as the wind blew through her face. She took a long breath from the air and turned to Aoshi and smiled. Aoshi was standing from a branch of a tree, staring closely at Misao in silence.
"Isn't it beautiful every time it's spring?"
Misao cheerfully said. Picking flowers from the meadows, and approached Aoshi.
"Yes it is"
Aoshi said in reply with a distinct tone of coldness (like he used to)
" Ne... Aoshi sama"
Misao smiled at Aoshi handing him a bundle of beautiful yellow flowers.
"Arigatou..."
Aoshi said still with a distinct coldness, yet with a bit of warmth for he let out a smile.
Misao felt her stomach leap and her heart melt as she looked upon the Aoshi. It was the first time he ever saw him smile. And Misao smiled back, as she try to hold back her joy of seeing him smile.
Return to present:
Misao smiled as she remembered it; it was the first time she saw him smile, and she could still remember it as exactly as it was. She watched the sun slowly rise up from behind the mountains and valleys and felt the warmth of the sun slowly envelope her. She felt cozy; like Aoshi was there, with his arms wrapped in her body like a sheet of blanket. Her head had suddenly become fuzzy and drowsy, and her eyes kept blinking as if she was falling asleep. She no longer has any energy to stay up; she can feel her head suddenly becoming much more painful. Then she set her eyes closing then, as she slowly fell asleep...
Meanwhile on a place not too far from her...
Soujiro...
It was already late in the morning when a young lad was walking in the vast meadows of bright colored flowers in a middle of tall bamboo trees and grasses. He was smiling and was cheerfully humming as he walks through the woods of Kyoto. He was wearing a navy blue Gi and Hakama that fitted his small body perfectly. In his left side of the waist was a long sword covered in sheath that swayed in motion as he walked aimlessly through the woods, although carrying a weapon that is basically known to kill, he still made a big impression of being harmless and innocent. His face was always lit up with a smile as if it was almost like he was wearing a mask, but it was he, it was his face. He was very young concerning his looks, that he was most likely at the age of twenties. His sapphire eyes sparkled as he looked up in the skies reflecting the vast skies of heaven on his eyes and the bright rays of light went shining on his face, making him look much more beautiful. He lifts his left hand to cover the sun from shining on his face (for it constantly making his eyesight blur) as he gently wipes his perspiration with his right hand. His face seemed always kind and gentle, always calm and problem free. Yet there's something beneath the smile, something (I could not tell you) that kept bothering his mind...
He stood in the middle of the meadows as the sun went on spreading its rays of hot blazing heat all over the place. He then decided to rest and stopped in a place were he can get some shade from the heat. He found his spot and sat silently as he carefully took a vessel of water and drank from it. His left eye was sightless for the vessel covered his sight since he was drinking, while his right eye constantly stopped on something, something that seemed to get his attention. He slowly laid the vessel on the ground and carefully wiped the spillage on his mouth, staring at the figure that caught his attention. Then he stood up and quietly tiptoed through the forest as he had his right hand over his sword ready to attack before it attacks him. His eyes were no longer cheerful and he was no longer smiling like he used to be for he looked dead serious. He drew nearer and nearer and the closer he gets to the figure the tighter his hands gripped on his sword. The place had slowly become dim as he drew more closer to mysterious figure; it was lying motionless in the middle encircled by a ray of light that passed through the trees and bamboo's it didn't give much light only a few could be seen visible. Then he approached it as carefully as he can, he saw that it wasn't a body of an animal nor just a pile of rocks, it was even worst it was a body of a person, a girl actually...
He saw the wounds and scars that were marked on her body. His eyes grew sad, as he looked upon the body of a young girl whose lying almost dead in front of him. Then he moved a step closer and sat beside the body, he tried to move her a bit, for him to see her face. He poked the body twice, and the body didn't make any single movement, then He poked it twice again and the body suddenly shook. He then carefully placed his arms around her waist and then slowly lifted her to his arms, and then walked back to the light. He cradled her in his arms as the girl slept in silence like a child.
The girl kept moving and she was whispering words Soujiro couldn't understand. He's distance was only five steps away, when she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck (but remember she was still unconscious) and then fell silent again. Soujiro felt his stomach suddenly curl up as he felt her arms on the back of his neck. He tried ignoring it, and tried to focus back on getting to the light when all of a sudden she moved again and then whispered something, His eyes then grew wide as he slowly felt her hands crawl to his neck and touch his face and was suddenly kissing him, Soujiro blushed as she felt her lips gently touch onto his, and her palms gently touching his face, he felt frozen as the girl kept on kissing. They were lip to lip when the girl then suddenly pushed his face away and punched him on the face (she was still unconscious), luckily he was able to avoid it and he gasped as she almost hit him, she falls back and slept in silence, as if nothing happened. Soujiro scratched his head as he thought about it... and tries to forget (she was after all just a child)
Then when he had finally made it to the light, he goes back to his spot and carefully laid the unconscious girl (he wasn't really sure about that) on the ground. Then as he looked at the girls face it seemed pretty familiar to him someone from his past, the past that he had tried to forget. He searched his mind and thoughts as he looks upon the girls face, and luckily finds the right name...
"Misao-kun"
A/N: to those who are curious about what had happened between Misao and Aoshi, please don't worry I'll be telling you soon. I guess right now it'll just be between me and me, and sooner the story will be telling you what have really happened. And don't worry its something of a good reason to fled home and be deserted in the desert (she was hurt). I guess that's all I have to say. I hope that you loved reading this chapter, as much as I love writing it...please send in reviews. Pleeezzz!
