Explosions
Damn, where is that girl? Aoshi thought as her ran down the hall. He had been stupid, listening to Saito teasing him.
Flashback
Misao had gone out for a drink, while Aoshi and the other's listened to the last CD. "Thank goodness this is the last one!" Sano was complaining.
"This is Omasu's" Tokio stated wearily. Aoshi popped it into the CD player and waited for the nail like voice to come out. What came out instead was a voice the could rival Misao herself.
"This is perfect!" Tsubame nodded as a murmur of agreement came from the group.
"Forget replacing her for one night, She could replace her forever!" Sano exclaimed,
"Only I don't think Aoshi here would want to let Misao go." Saito smirked
"Uh huh" Aoshi remained stolid. Think Happy thoughts...
"You're right. Aoshi does talk to her more than anyone." Sano smirked
"Eww..! Iceberg has fallen for weasel!" Yahiko did a sing-song dance.
"I do not like Misao!" Aoshi exploded. "Besides, she's only good for the band. This girl could replace her!"
Aoshi immediately regretted those words. He was crazy about her but it was his past that didn't let him go near her. Aoshi's parents were killed by an assassin, and he swore to hurt the ones Aoshi loved. His friends were only friends but girlfriends were more...
"Ice burg!" Aoshi was startled out of his usually blank look by the shout. Screw, did Misao just hear that? Sure enough, the petite sophomore was just outside and just heard what Aoshi had yelled.
End Flashback
Aoshi ran down the hallways, still looking for her. He wanted to find her, badly, and explain things to her. As he ran, he bumped into Soujiro. The cheerful senior's face was unnaturally sad. When he saw Aoshi, he scowled. "Here. Maybe you can explain this to Misao" He handed a puzzled Aoshi a note, from the office.
Aoshi continued the exploration of the school. Suddenly it hit him. Misao probably went to Angelic Devils old recording studio, in the basement! That place had always meant a lot to her. He ran down the stairs and pushed the door open. He realized that Misao wanted to be alone so he snuck up and listen to her voice as she sung.
I'm no Lily of the valley
I'm a wild rose with thorns
Don't try to hurt me
Cause I'll prick you back…
I won't stay here
And watch everyone dish the dirt on me
Even though I'll feel transplanted
I'll pick me up and take me away
Aoshi breathed an inward sigh. If Misao was singing like that, she must be alright. He froze as she heard her try to continue but break into tears.
"Stupid, Stupid!" She sobbed. "I can't believe I'm singing like I could move on! My life here is the band."
Even though Aoshi couldn't see her face, he heard a scowl in Misao's voice. "They won't miss me, though. Well, the Girls, Sano, Kenshin, Saito and Yahiko might, But that iceburg wouldn't even think of me when they put their new singer in!" Misao sniffed. "I can't believe I still like him!"
Aoshi stiffened at the last remark. She still liked him? After all the pain she had been pushed through because of him, she still liked him? His thought were interrupted because of another song she started to sing, one more melancholy…
Why...?
Why'd you leave me behind?
Do I mean any thing to you?
Was I was just something you could through away?
I really thought I meant more than that, but now it seems I don't
When all said and done, I still have one question to ask…
Why? Why'd you break my heart like that?
Even though the dawn is still waking,
I realize now that my heart heart is breaking…
You mean more to me than anyone else
So when I'm gone remember my last word,
Why…?
Do I have to go over this again and again?
You seemed to not care
Even though I was near…
Maybe you really weren't worth the time or energy,
So even though my mind tells me to let go,
I still have to ask…
Why? Why'd you break my heart like that?
Even though the dawn is still waking,
I realize now that my heart heart is breaking…
You mean more to me than anyone else
So when I'm gone remember my last word,
Why…?
You were heartless and you were cruel.
Shouting insults for the world to hear
Why didn't you just take a microphone and yell
Yell to the world that you hate me
I would have been satisfied with a simple no
Instead you backstabbed me
One last question… WHY?
Why? Why'd you break my heart like that?
Even though the dawn is still waking,
I realize now that my heart heart is breaking…
You mean more to me than anyone else
So when I'm gone remember my last word,
Why…?
Yeah… Why?
"Misao…" Misao jerked up as she saw Aoshi filter out of the shadows. It broke his heart to see Misao's tearstained face staring at him with such a mix of hurt and hatred.
"What do you want?" She muttered, turning her head.
"I… well…"Aoshi tried to talk. This was hard. He was smart, athletic but not a good talker. Telling a girl that he liked her was especially hard.
"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!" Misao yelled at him
"Well… I… Soujiro gave me a note from the office, for you." He thrusted the note in her direction, because he thought it would be easier than confronting her first. Big Mistake.
Misao read the note her expression changing from a scowl to a look of pure hatred toward him. She pulled out her Kunai that she always wore. "I hate you Aoshi Shinomori."
