Part Four:
Okina tapped lightly on the shoji screen before entering the room. "Oi, Aoshi. You in here...?" Seeing no one was in the room, he turned to leave, but something on the desk caught his eye.
Several things, that is. Letters, written with a graceful, elegant hand and smelling faintly of orange blossoms. Tapping the letters against the tip of his nose, he recalled that Takani Megumi had worn a similar scent during the Kenshingumi's recent visit here. It made sense that she was the one who wrote the letters.
What were they doing on Aoshi's desk, anyway? Eyebrows raised, he perused t he letters and felt a grin broadening his face.
Love letters, all addressed to Aoshi. Who else could they be for? It certai nly sounded as though she was talking about himhis mannerisms, their past...it made a lot of sense.
And knowing how incredibly slow Aoshi was when it came to matters of the heart, the young man probably wasn't going to act upon them.
Well, Okina was going to make damn sure that he would. He couldn't think of a better match for the onna-sensei than Aoshi. Well, other than Okina himself, that is.
With an impish grin, he carefully placed the letters back on the desk.
...to be continued. (MiJ)
