A/N: hey hey hey..
It's been so long..
I was starting to think fanfiction is gone.
What do you know? It lives..
And so am I
I know that I had been absent for quite some time.
Okay maybe much more than I think..
I guess I have a lot of apologizing to do.
So will you all please forgive me? (Sniff sniff)
I know I acted dead. but since it's my vacation
I'll try to be alive.talking. and try to pay up debts.
I'm still hoping for miracles. and maybe hopefully
Be able to finish my fic.

DICLAIMER: I don't. (

CHAPTER 4: a story told

Misao felt her heart suddenly stop at the sudden shock of what Aoshi had said to her, it hit her fast that she didn't know how to react. She felt her lungs suddenly lost of air, her heart stopping dead, she can feel her throat choke, it was like she was stabbed right onto the heart. She tried hard to fight but everything was much too painful to take. Every word Aoshi had said seemed to haunt her; she felt pain slowly crept onto her, filling her up with emotions she cannot understand, feelings that kept popping out making it more confusing. Misao can no longer hold the pain that seemed to have sucked out all the happiness in her, she tilted her head down as tears slowly crept onto her beautiful long lashes, it dropped down onto her cheeks like the early dewdrops of morning, fell onto the floor and disappeared. Misao sat shaking behind Aoshi who was still sitting as still as a statue. She wiped her tears and asked.

"Why?" her voice so soft and weak.

Her words seemed to echo through her head, she could feel drops of rain slowly trickle down onto her face; she can feel the cold chilly breeze of air suddenly enveloping her and then she snapped back.

"Are you alright Misao-san?" Soujiro said looking worried and panicked

"Yes." Misao whispered smiling frailly at Soujiro who was looking mighty worried.

"We better find a shade to stay in, its raining we might get sick" Soujiro said still staring at her. This time he tried to smile then he turned to face on the dark moonlit woods to find a place.

(Play the song angel .)

The wind blew softly passing through Misao and Soujiro slowly enveloping them as they ran through the woods lighted by the silvery moonlight. They can feel the rain touch their faces and slowly creep onto their skin. Their feet stampeding onto the ground as water spluttered onto it filling them with dirt from the ground. Soujiro didn't care less, his face wasn't smiling although serious he looked beautiful as the blue light from the moon lighted up his face, misao looked onto his face her head filling up with thoughts. His face wasn't the same face she had seen before it was more comforting and kind, no longer a tenken. He looked very handsome with his sapphire eyes, slender sleek body, his skin almost as that of a white ivory and his soft red lips he looked.

"Perfect." she whispered still staring onto Soujiro's lit up face.

He had his arms around her and she can feel his skin touch hers, making her feel warm, and cozy. He was holding his blue hakama to shade them from the rain. And Misao couldn't help but wonder why he was doing so much for her. She looked onto his face once more; she can feel her heart beat faster and faster, she slowly lifted her hand onto her heart and lifted her face again to look at the man who had saved her and had offered her company when she felt alone and sad. She gasped for air as Soujiro held her hand, then with a sudden crash Soujiro fell onto the ground sending Misao to fall on top of him. Their eyes met as Misao lay flat on her feet on top of Soujiro who was looking at Misao whose hair was no longer tied in knots but flowing in beautiful soft waves of curls that touched her neck to her waist, her face pale and radiant and her soft cheeks flushed pink. She looked beautiful as the moons silvery rays of blue lit up her face of radiance and perfection. Soujiro can feel his hand slowly caress her body, no longer able to fight the urge to touch her face and body. Misao can feel everything disappear beneath her the rain, the wind, the swaying trees, and the whistles of the mist, only him looking at her, his soft comforting touch, the continuous beating of her heart and their breath growing closer and closer. She lay very still on Soujiros slender body as she felt his arms slowly and carefully envelope her from the cold rainy weather. It was a silent, solemn reverie, both of them constantly caressing and touching each other's body. Soujiro lifted his body with his arms still enveloping her waist as she sat on his legs with her hair flowing with the wind, dancing gracefully as it sweeps passed through her dark black hair. Soujiro looked onto Misao's emerald eyes and carefully lifted his hands onto her face, touching it slightly and then he slowly tilted her face by the chin and his face coming closer and closer until she can feel his breath touch her face. Misao can feel it warm her face and she can feel his hands crawl through her neck to her face. Then without another word she felt his lips touch hers, she can feel both their breath connecting as both their mouth touched. Soujiro felt alive as her sweet lips joined his; he can feel its warmth slowly creep onto his face and onto his whole body, it was a feeling he had never experienced. He wanted time to stop and hold this moment for the rest of his life; he wanted it to be forever.

But as they parted apart, everything had suddenly come back, it was like they were only dreaming, but it was true and both felt it was. His hands still held hers onto it and the other touching her face, their forehead leaning on each other's head. As both opened their eyes, they stared onto each other. There was total shock between both of them. He slowly freed her body from his arms and she slowly moved back from him. Then everything had suddenly come back. The rain. The wind, the dancing trees, everything. They sat far apart thinking of what had just happened. They sat thinking, everything was difficult to explain how they fell and ended up in each other's arms, kissing. And the unusual thing is that they both felt good.
