Misao opened the note, after a suspicious glance at Aoshi. The contents, written in blood, made her heart stop.

Misao Makimachi,

I killed your parents. Blame Aoshi for this. Sever your ties with him immediately. I know you two were close. I killed his parents and yours. If you continue to return Aoshi's affections to him, I will kill you as well.

Shisho

Emotions mixed within her. Aoshi was why the lunatic killed her parents! Standing there in front of him with so much loathing, she made a decision. She pulled out her Kunai. "I hate you, Aoshi Shinomori"

Aoshi looked at her in shock. He just had enough time to grab her wrist and flip her. "What are you doing?" He demanded angrily.

"Traitor." Misao glared at him, the sadness gone from her ocean green orbs, leaving only hurt and fury. "TRAITOR!" The shout echoed through the shadows of the basement. She broke free of his grasp and lunged at him again. Before she knew what was happening, she was pinned to a cement wall. She tried to take in some breath but couldn't. What the…? It was then she realized that Aoshi was kissing her. She almost melted, for this is what she wanted, but then she realized: this is the man that had my parents killed! She pushed him away from her "You b!" She screamed at him "I can't believe you! You have my parent's killed, break my heart and just try to stop me with a kiss! Lowlife!"

"Misao, I-" Again, shock was written over his features because of what he did and how she responded. Suddenly, the full impact of her words hit him. "Misao I would have never had your parents killed. How dare you accuse me of that?"

"You had no problems breaking my heart!" She screamed and broke down into tears. "Explain this!" She threw the note at him through her sobs.

Aoshi caught the note and read. What the heck? His eyes grew wide as he scanned the contents. Shisho was the only thought that could cross his mind. He killed his parents and now he was out to get Misao for interacting with him.

Meanwhile, Misao was on the floor crying. She was hurt, scarred and bruised. Why the heck were people out to get her? Misao had done nothing wrong! She only wanted to get away from here. Subconsciously, she pulled out her kunai and got up. She lunged towards him.

"Misao!" He was only quick enough to get away, the knife cutting his shirt. Unseeingly, she grabbed the kunai again, but it was deeply wedged into the wood. So deeply that when she pulled it out she started a fire. The flame spread quickly through the basement. Apparently, she saw her chance and left

Above the roaring of the flames she said her last words "Sayonara, Aoshi. Tell the others I'm never coming back."

Aoshi fought his way out of the basement, flames licking at his waist. Tears running freely out of his eyes. When he got outside, he quickly dialed the fire department on his phone. "There's been a fire at the local high school." He said in his usual monotone and hung up. Suddenly, he heard rustling in the bushes and saw his friends emerging from the bush behind him, practice ended long ago. They watched together silently as the school burned down. Aoshi watched and saw his heart burn with it for Misao.

"Misao…" He murmured, not caring who heard him. "She's not coming back."

Muhahaha! I know this was short and has a little OOC but Misao's just lost her parents and Aoshi's worried! The story is not done yet, far from it, so keep watching!
