A/N thank you all for telling me what you wanted done with this story. I have posted this especial chapter because many of you wanted aoshi to find out about the twins...there is something else that Misao finds out about Aoshi's family...that family is really screwd up and i hope you like the little surprise...Thank you all again...

The early morning hustle always soothed Misao's raging heart. All around her where her workers, her people, her loyal friends. She moved from left to right trying to avoid being shoved by them. Each one was in a hurry to have her designs out or get the necessary people to finish up the second stages of production.

She sighed and entered her office with her secretary right behind her. She took off her jacket and placed her portfolio down "Miss Makimachi you have three appointments for today, and there a few important people waiting conformation on whether or not you will design them something"

Misao sat down and looked at her secretary "tell them that I will, you know I never turn anyone down. Maya please have Kamatari bring up the pictures that I requested"

"Yes Ma'am, anything else?"

Misao nodded "I will have a man by the name of Aoshi Shinomori coming in today, as soon as he is here send him in. Also have the twins come in after he arrives"

"Of course. I'll be back shortly with your morning tea"

"Thank you very much Maya" misao opened her portfolio and began to finish her latest designs.

About ten minutes later Maya returned with the tea and someone else "Miss Makimachi, Mr. Seta has arrived"

Misao looked up from her work to find the smiling man looking around the office. She then motioned for Maya to leave the tea on the table and close the door. She smiled and left. Sujiro looked back at her "you're early. To what do I owe this visit?"

Sujiro cleared her throat "I come baring good news"

"Oh?"

He produced a yellow envelop and handed it to her. She opened it and as soon as she read and saw what was in it, she began to smile a lot "how did you find out about this, about his dealings?"

"I had the best people working on it. I also have some undercover people inside his company and his restaurant. I was informed that Mr. Shinomori is not only dealing with the white tiger mafia, he's also dealing with a man name Kanryu. Detective Saitou informs me that he has been searching for this man for a while. Misao you might be able to help the police and the town at the same time"

oh was she proud "but what does this have to do with his dealings Sujiro" she to emphasis it showed him the picture that was inside the envelop.

That's where he chuckled "that my dear misao, you can use to get Mrs. Shinomori to cooperate. If she can testify against her husband then we can bring him down"

"I'm not quiet following"

Sujiro walked over to her large window and looked up at the sky "have you ever wonder why Mr. Shinomori's first born looks more like his wife, and his other children look just like him? For that matter why his granddaughter looks like him"

"What are you implying? Because I have a funny feeling that this is something to do with this picture of Ai and the man here" she turned the picture over and read it "Ai Masaki and Hannya Nanaka"

He turned to her "Misao look closely. What does this man have that seems familiar?"

She studied the picture for a few seconds, something was familiar but what "Sujiro I think I know what you are getting at, tell me is this Aoshi's father?"

"Precisely Misao. That is Aoshi's father. Ai Masaki was to married that man, however Mr. Shinomori had claimed her his. Your regular fairy tale. Rich girl falls for stable boy, rich boy hates stable boy. Rich boy wants rich girl so he does whatever he can to get her. Only problem was that rich girl got together with stable boy before she was forced to marry rich boy. Thus resulting in Aoshi's creation. When Shinomori found out he sent his men to dispose of stable boy"

Her eyes widened "you mean, they killed him?"

"You would think so, they set fire to Hannya's home while he slept, when he woke up his body was badly burnt. But he survived. The information I got says that he still lives in Japan with a brother of his, he's an artist and keeps to himself"

She sat down and thought about this information. What would be the best way to use it? Could she even tell aoshi? This would not only set him free, but if given the information he might confront his father and then who knows what that man is capable of doing. One thing though, she would see Mrs. Shinomori soon, very soon.

"Thank you Sujiro, I don't know how to thank you for all that you have done" he laughed and then sat down in one of the chairs.

"Well if you really want to make it up to me"

she glared at him "I'm not sleeping with you"

"Not you, maybe that cute secretary of yours. She's very nice and well"

Misao giggled and walked over to the door. She opened it and looked outside for Maya, upon spotting her she called her over. Maya rushed quickly "yes?"

"Are you single Maya?"

"Ah, why yes Miss Makimachi" misao looked back and Sujiro blushed, she then looked maya up and down.

She is very pretty and they would make a cute couple "maya I have nice friend, you met him already, it's Mr. Seta, well he was kind of going to a broadway show and was looking for a date, now I would go with him however I'm taken. Would you like to go with him?"

Maya and Sujiro both blushed. He stood up and walked over to them "miss Maya it would be my honor if you would agree to going with me"

Maya looked him in the eyes and felt her face grow hotter. She had found the young man dashing, very handsome "well...ah...Mr. Seta it would be my pleasure"

Misao pushed him outside and into Maya's arms. They mumbled some things and Misao laughed "now don't disappoint me. Go on and talk about your date" with that she closed the door.

Ai and hannya. That was all that went through her head. Ai was a woman who loved to expend, loved the spot light. But the woman on the picture was different. Misao could tell that she was a woman that loved everything and everyone. That was sweet. But then again being married to a bastard like Aoshi Shinomori you could say that anyone could turn cold. Example being misao's love himself.

Aoshi was walking down eight ave. He rarely visited the city, but always liked it when he did come around. The busy people annoyed the hell out of him, but he liked it nonetheless. Soon he would be arriving at Misao's office. He was looking forward to that. How he missed her.

The night before once he got home from the restaurant he retreated to his own office in his house and did nothing but think of her. Those kisses they gave each other. She wanted him as much as he wanted her.

A smirk was evident on his face "oh how I'm going to have you again misao" he crossed the street and looked up at the building which held the most precious of things...his misao.

The building was busy with more people. He took the elevator of course seeing all the looks the women were giving him. He smiled because non of them had anything of interest to him, only one owned his heart and he would never take it back.

The elevator stopped on the tenth floor and he walked down the corridor. There was a room with a large window and inside were children. He stopped, something made him stop. He looked inside and some children waved and he waved back. A little girl ran to the window and her big blue eyes shined with happiness "where have I seen you little one?" he wondered.

She tapped the glass and he knelt down enough to see in her eyes "hi" his eyes grew wide. It was the same little girl that he had met a few days earlier.

The teacher noticed the interaction and smiled. She walked over to the door and opened it "would you like to see your daughter?"

he was speechless "my..I'm sorry...I" the little girl came out running and attached herself to his legs.

She giggled "hi, come in I missed you" he didn't know what to say, but deep down he wanted to hold her and never let go.

So there he was sitting on a small chair with the children around him. The little girl on his lap and her twin sitting by his feet. He was reading them a story. He remember reading his two year old daughter a story similar to the one he was reading to them. Children were so easy to please and make happy.

Hikari pulled on his sleeve "are you going to see mommy?" he looked down at them.

"Who's your mommy?"

"Boss lady"

"Huh?"

The teacher came into the room "Alright kids time to eat your snacks" she set a tray down and the kids ran to her except Alexander. Aoshi looked down at the little boy.

He sighed "why don't you like me?"

The little boy smiled and raised his arms so that Aoshi could pick him up and that he did "so do you like me now?"

Alex nodded and the teacher came up to them "first time I see him do this. He is very quiet and shy"

"I could tell"

"But with you, he seems to really like you. Thank you for reading them a story while I fixed them snacks. You're a natural"

Aoshi chuckled and put Alex down "I must get going. I have a meeting with Miss Makimachi"

"Oh, please tell miss makimachi that the twins were great" he was confused, what was going on?

"Excuse me?"

She was bending down picking up toys "the twins, her twins were great. The ones you took a liking to are hers"

Hers? The are hers? What in god's name was going on?. He looked at the twins and realized that they did look a little like Misao, but they had something so familiar besides her...then it dawned on him. Why Mr. Makimachi was angry with him for sleeping with misao, why misao left...why his father never told him anything about misao...the twins were hers and they were his.

His.

His twins...

His flesh and blood...

And she had kept them away...

Anger seeped into his body.

Why would she have done such a thing?

Aoshi bid them farewell and hurried to see misao. Maya noticed a tall beautiful man walking towards her desk and she stood up "may I help you sir?"

"I'm here to see miss Makimachi, my name is Aoshi Shinomori" Maya hurried down the hall a little and then opened a door.

Aoshi followed and noticed Maya motioned him inside. Misao was sitting at her desk again and she didn't even look up at him as he stood there.

There are two things that Aoshi was really wanting to do now. One was to grab her and throw her to the nearest wall demanding that she tell him why she kept their twins away from him, the other wanted nothing more than to kiss her, fuck her or even strangle her.

Aoshi walked around her desk and pulled her up. She yelped in surprise and soon was lifted off the floor and face to face with a very angry Aoshi.

She swallowed hard and sweat began to collect on her eyebrows "A...Aoshi what's the matter with you?" his grip on her arms tightened and she winced in pain "you're hurting me"

"Hurting you? Hurting you? No misao if I was hurting you, you would know. How dare you?"

Okay so now he lost her. She was utterly confused and looked into his eyes "what's the matter with you?"

Aoshi threw her onto the chair and misao cried in pain. She rubbed her tush and glared at him. She was about to stand when he put his hands on her shoulder and leaned down "I know your secret misao and I don't like it"

Misao was nervous. Did he know about her revenge? What is he talking about? "What are you talking about?"

Aoshi looked around not letting go of her. His eyes landed on a picture frame and it was of the twins. Misao too looked at it and gasped "that's what I'm talking about. How can you have kept my twins away from me? Why would you?"

Misao lifted a hand to his cheek and he turned to look down at her "I'm so sorry that I kept them from you. I had no choice Aoshi"

he snapped "no choice? You had many choices. Why, why would you?"

Misao bowed her head and took in a deep breath "because if I hadn't left I would have lost them" that brought his attention to her.

"What?"

"There were people who didn't want them to exist Aoshi. What was I supposed to do then? My children are my life and they were the moment I learned of my pregnancy. Your father asked my father to get rid of them. Tell me if I did wrong in leaving then?"

Aoshi let go of her "my father?" she stood up and closed the distance between them.

"Yes. He told my father that if I didn't get rid of my pregnancy that he would take away my father's business, but in the end he did take it. He found out about them"

He was shaking with anger "all this time he knew. He knew I had children with the woman I love and didn't tell me. All my life I have listened to what he demanded of me. I did as he asked without questions..."

She quieted him by kissing him. No need to talk no need to remember bad times. Just this moment for them. Aoshi wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. The need to be with her and to forget everything around them growing each passing minute.

The door to the office opened and Maya stepped inside with the kids. She froze and was about to turn back to give her boss privacy when the twins pulled away from her and ran to Misao "mommy"

Aoshi opened his eyes without pulling away from the kiss and watched as his kids ran towards them. Misao smiled on his lips and pulled away to greet them "hello little ones"

Maya cleared her throat "sorry miss Makimachi"

Misao knelt down "it's quite alright Maya. I want you to hold any calls or meetings. I'm going to be busy introducing my children to their father" she looked up and noticed the small smile that was on his own lips. Her secretary nodded and left the room.

Misao then turned back to her twins as she took aoshi's hand and brought him down to his knees as well "Kari, Alex you remember aoshi right?" they said yes in a quiet voice "do you know who he is?"

Alex who is known to be the shy quiet little boy stepped up to Aoshi and took his hand and smiled "this is daddy" both adults looked at him and then at each other "and he came back for us. Right daddy?"

Aoshi felt the tears welling up inside of him, he felt the anger subside and happiness take over. Without any words he carried his son in his arms stood up and then sat on a couch "yes I've come back for you all"

Misao lifted Hikari into her arms watching the display father and son were proving them. Aoshi hugging his son and Alex hugging him back while he played with his father's buttons. This was what she had dreamt about hundreds of times. The day her twins met their father and see the love they all had.

Back in town Mr. Shinomori was busy working in his office when his secretary walked in "Mr. Shinomori there is a Mr. Kanryu on the line for you" he looked at her and waved her out.

"Shinomori here"

"It's time"

"When?"

"Tonight. I'll be at one of your restaurants"

"Fine. I'll send one of my right hands to deal with you and the next shipment"

"Not showing up?"

"I have things to deal with"

"Alright Shinomori. I'll be waiting details"

His secretary was by his door. Not a word was missed. She quickly walked to her desk and dialed a number. When the person picked up she hit a series of number codes and the plan was set in motion.

Misao and Aoshi had decided to take their kids to eat. They were all sitting around when her phone went off. She excused herself for a moment and walked out of the little restaurant "Seta you have news?"

"Yes. Detective Saitou will be ambushing Kanryu tonight and it will seem like it was a set up by Mr. Shinomori. Once that's done Kanryu will talk"

"Where will it be?"

"Oddly enough at one of Mr. Shinomori's restaurants. That bastard set himself up for his own down fall"

Misao laughed and thanked him. She returned to the restaurant to enjoy a very nice lunch with the satisfaction of knowing that soon Shinomori would go down.

OOOH...that was...oooh evil evil evil...Hope you all liked it.
