Morning light seeped through her window. It always was a bother and she growled in frustration. Misao moved onto her left side trying to escape the distasteful sun and her arm hit something soft and warm. Having forgotten what had transpired the day before she all but yelled as she fell of the bed.

Aoshi blinked his icy blue eyes and watched in amusement as his misao rubbed her shoulder "I knew I always left you senseless, but this is beyond belief misao" and with that he laughed.

She on the other hand narrowed her deep blue eyes at him and threw her pillow at his face. He was caught off guard and then threw the cursed pillow back at her. Forgetting that they were both in the buff they proceeded to have a pillow fight in which Misao ended pinned to the floor and Aoshi holding her hands above her head.

She laughed and then leaned up capturing his lips in hers "that's a good way of waking up" he murmured on her lips and she agreed with a moan as one of his hands grabbed her full breast and kneaded it.

She giggled as his lips let go of her lips and leaned down to capture the erected pebble "and why are you so obsessed with them?" aoshi let go of the flesh and looked her in the eyes.

"Why not? They are mine to play with. Have always been mine. I'm just giving them the attention that they deserve"

"You are one perverted man aoshi" he chuckled and grinded his hips into hers "but I like it when you are" he grinned and was about to take her again when the phone rang and both growled.

"Let it ring" he begged as his hips kept grinding into her. She moaned and wanted nothing more than to have him inside of her. The phone stopped it's ring and they looked at each other "ready?"

Before she could answer their door burst opened and both struggled to get covered up "mommy what cha doing?" Aoshi and Misao both froze their daughter walked into the room carrying the phone.

Misao hit aoshi on the arm because he had frozen onto of her. He looked down at misao "get the covers damn it" he quickly grabbed the sheets and covered each other.

"Mommy are you and daddy playing?"

Misao took a deep breath and sat up holding the sheets to her naked body "yes baby. Now tell me why you came into the room without knocking?"

Hikari pouted "because phone was ringing ringing and you didn't take it like always and I wanted to help you and you said that I could help you and I just did" she sniffled and misao rolled her eyes.

Aoshi wrapped the sheet tighter around his torso and sat up bringing his daughter into his arms "it's alright sweetheart. Don't cry. Your mommy and I are not angry, but remember to knock always okay?" she nodded and handed the phone to him. He gave it to Misao who stood up and walked into her bathroom scowling. Who ever called her so early will pay dearly...

Inside the bathroom Misao sat on the sink "hello"

"Finally" the voice said irritated

"Kaoru what's the big idea calling me this early?"

"It's nine in the morning misao. The world starts to work around five. Was that Aoshi?"

Misao shook her head "yes. He spent the night here and yes he knows about the twins and yes Kaoru I'm going to get him back"

Misao could hear the squeal that left her best friend's lips and she could just imagine what she looked like right at that moment "kaoru...Kaoru"

"This is great. The gang is going to be so happy, we have to celebrate"

"Kaoru...Kaoru...KAORU DAMN IT" the woman calmed down.

Outside in the room Aoshi and Hikari both looked at the bathroom door "mommy is scary when she yells"

Aoshi combed his daughter's hair back "yes she is. Now what do you want for breakfast?"

"Pancakes...yummy pancakes" she giggled as he stood up and placed her on his shoulder. He walked out of the room and took her to her room.

"Brush your teeth and get dressed, I'm going to get dressed too and then we can make pancakes for everyone. Okay princess?"

She nodded "okay daddy" she ran into the her closet and started picking things out. He was smiling. Finally something worth fighting for. This time he would not let his father take anything of his away.

Misao screamed in happiness and rushed into the livingroom with the sheets flapping around her wildly. She scurried around the room trying to find the control to the t.v. an already dressed aoshi watched as she jumped from one couch to the next and almost hit her face on the floor "Misao what's going on?"

She didn't look up at him "where is the remote?" she got down on all fours and Aoshi's hands clenched. Ooh the possibilities of what he could do to her if they were alone and she wasn't looking for a god damm...

"Where is the freaking remote?" he sighed and walked over to the tv unit and picked up the remote from atop of the tv itself.

"Looking for this?" he swung the black remote in front of her face and she smiled widely. Misao stood up and ran up to him trying to take it from his hand, but he felt playful and decided to raise it above his head. She was livid now.

"Give that to me Aoshi"

"Or?"

"I'll make you give it to me, come on give it to me" he smirked and held her back with one arm as the other raised the control higher. She growled and before he knew it both were on the floor

she on top of him and he trying to keep the remote away from her.

They were almost grinding against each other that both locked their gazes and forgot about the remote. A giggle interrupted their moment once more "see told you mommy and daddy were playing" both adults looked up to see their children giggling.

"Can we play too mommy?" she opened her mouth but nothing came out. Aoshi sat up with her in his arms and picked her up.

"We will all play later alright? Now you why do you want this remote so badly?" Misao turned her face away from him.

Damn him...why did he have to be so goddamn sexy and toy with her. She wasn't in the mood to watched the news anymore...she wanted to be pleased and to please him...goddamn him to hell...her face flushed just thinking about the activities that they had engaged the night before...ooh how she wanted to feel that again.

Aoshi watched her closely and just let it go. He turned the tv on and turned to the news channel. What was up with her? One minute she wants the remote even to the death and now she wasn't talking to him?

'Last night kanryu Takeda known mafia boss was arrested at the famous Akabeko on 34th street. He was meeting with his business associates. The scene was a blood bath. The police cornered Takeda and he and his men began shooting at the police. Ten people were reportedly killed and seven wounded. Takeda was among the wounded and he is being held at St. Lukes hospital'

Aoshi stood up with surprise evident on his face. Misao put her hands on her face, this was what she wanted to see... 'The police have yet to give the media information as to whom Takeda was meeting with, one source says that Takeda was supposed to Meet with business man Aoshi Shinomori Senior. We have yet to confirmed this information and will be on top of this from the time being'

Misao looked at Aoshi who was busy listening to the news "Aoshi I was going to tell you" he turned to her "kaoru called me to give me the news"

he sat down "I have to head home...if he was indeed going to meet up with Takeda then the police are on their way to our home" again he stood and rushed towards the door.

Misao stood up "Aoshi please wait. Kaoru told me that the police already went to your home. Your siblings were placed in a home for the time being. You see your mother was detained but only for questioning. If you go at least wait for me" he nodded and she rushed to her room to get dressed.

The drive was quiet and Misao knew that Aoshi was trying to understand how or why things were happening the way they were.

Once at the police station he was told that his mother was being held for aiding a criminal and that she was on a twenty thousand bail. He paid for it but didn't want to be near her. She could have avoided so much. Misao spoke with his mother and made her agree that she should press charges against Mr. Shinomori who mysteriously disappeared along with Tomoe. No surprise there, but what surprised her the most was that Aoshi was truly confused about his father and his supposed fiancé. Misao told him everything she knew about Tomoe and the chance that he might not be the father of his two year old daughter who was also placed in a home for the time being.

Aoshi rushed to the local court to see how fast he could get his siblings and his daughter out of the home and into his care. About two days later the kids were living with him and misao along with the twins.

Aoshi spent another week searching for his father and bringing up a case against him. He was going to make him pay. Ai didn't tell aoshi that his real father was in japan and Misao agreed that she would not say anything. That had been their agreement.

Sujiro helped them a lot and it finally seemed like they were soon going to be happy and free of the man that had ruined their lives for so long.

The twins were adjusting to their father and little sister better than expected. Another week passed and reports of Shinomori were getting fewer by the minute. The only thing that was a big news was the sudden appearance of Tomoe all beaten up and disoriented. She was taken into custody and had been in jail since then.


Three weeks later...

It was ten in the night and both Misao and Kamatari had yet to leave the office. Both were working fast to get the photos of the models out as soon as possible. Misao groaned and shook her head. Leave it to her to forget to send the photos to the lab and have to call Kamatari to run down and help her set them up.

"I'm really sorry about this Kamatari" Kamatari smiled and picked three rolls, then took out her pack of cigarets and her lighter.

"It's alright I had nothing to do anyways. So misao how's life after the whole Shinomori thing?"

Misao walked from one table to another "you know that's going to kill you. Besides you can't smoke here. Aoshi was able to find a place for his siblings and his mother. The company and two of the restaurants were taken by the government. Luckily he was able to keep the Tea company and became the CEO" Kamatari placed her lighter in her pant pocket and threw her smoke away.

Both women were so engrossed in their conversation that they failed to notice the gleaming eyes of a man hidden by the shadows of the studio. They laughed and commented on how great it was to finally have some happiness...

"Are you and Aoshi going to get married?" the question hadn't crossed misao's mind at all and it surprised her. Kamatari laughed seeing the surprise in her eyes "oh come on we all know you two are dying to be together. You both are proud parents of twins and I hear you've taken a liking to Katie"

"What's not to like about the little girl. She's so adorable and even if Aoshi is not her real father he will raise her as such" Misao placed several sketches into a portfolio and busied herself with other drawings.

Kamatari turned towards the window "it's almost mid-night. How long till we get out of here?"

Misao looked at her watch "ten minutes or so. The security guards probably are leaving already. They always leave one on the main floor. They know my habit of staying late"

"Aoshi must be waiting home for you, he?"

"Probably. I left the twins with Kaoru and Kenshin, but Aoshi might be there" they were going to clean the tables when something fell.

Both women turned to each other and yelped. They looked behind them only to find a paint can on the floor. They shared a glance and then broke out laughing "oh kamatari we are such idiots" she leaned down and picked up the can. Kamatari was stunned and her mouth was wide open. Misao didn't know why the woman was so quiet all of the sudden "kamatari it was just a paint can" Misao began to stand when her eyes caught sight of feet.

Before she could look up however a hand latched itself on her neck bringing her up. She began to wheeze and claw at the hand that held her. Kamatari blinked and then finally came out of her stupor "MISAO"

She ran towards the struggling woman only to be shoved back by another hand. She landed on the ground and looked up as another man stepped into the light. Misao was almost passing out, she was able to see that kamatari wasn't too hurt and then looked back at her attacker only to gasp.

"Makimachi I must thank you for bringing me down. Who would have thought that a little girl would be my down fall?"

She pulled at the hand "Shinomori...let go of me"she kicked him and he dropped her. Misao pushed herself away from the man and hurried to kamatari who was being held back by one of Shinomori's man.

"LET US GO" she screamed and Shinomori only laughed.

"But my dear I've come to thank you. If it hadn't been for you I would probably still be running my company and my illegal dealings. You've cost me a lot of money little one and for that I will thank you" he nodded to the man that had Kamatari and Misao watched as he hit her friend with the butt of a gun on the head. Kamatari yelled in pain and fell to the floor holding her head and crying.

Misao rushed to her "kamatari"

"Misao you have to get out" misao shook her head and looked up at the laughing Shinomori

"You bastard. Leave her out of this"

"she's lucky I didn't tell him to kill her. Just getting a butt on the head doesn't necessarily mean that she will die. Nothing a bag of ice can't cure. Now Makimachi I would suggest you come with me quietly and we will not hurt your little friend"

Misao balled her hands and stood "I will not go with you anywhere. Give up Shinomori it will only be a matter of time before they catch you. I mean your own wife even testified against you. Wait till Aoshi does the same"

Shinomori laughed once more "that idiot son of mine will do no such thing. He is a coward just the way I wanted him to be"

"What are you going to do with me? Huh? There is nothing I did. You were caught because of your own stupidity"

"I was caught because you had something to do with it. I know you did, but I'm not interested in that anymore. Making you pay will be more thrilling. Maybe I can have you as a sex slave or sell you"

Her eyes widened "are you insane. I'm well known around the world. In a matter of minutes people will be looking for me"

He took a few steps closer to her and she moved back only to hit one of the working tables. She looked around frantically trying to find something to help her and kamatari escape. Where were the security guards? Her hands found a pair of scissors and she gripped it. Shinomori smirked at her and held her firmly by her waist "listen bitch, you ruined me and I'm going to return the favor" he looked her up and down "I see what my son sees in you. fiery little one I must wonder what you are like in bed" he licked his lips and let one of his hands grope her breasts.

She was disgusted and didn't think twice when she plunged the scissors on his shoulder. He screamed in pain and she kicked him. His man ran towards her but kamatari grabbed his leg making him fall hard on the floor. He kicked kamatari who pushed herself away from the man and crawled towards one of the phones in the room. Shinomori scowled and grabbed misao by her hair making her scream.

"You little bitch I'm going to make you pay" he spun her around and punched her in the face. She fell to the floor and became dizzy. The other man ran towards Kamatari who managed to get the phone and dial 911 before he could take it from her. She threw it on the floor while the operator was talking. The man ignored the phone and walked closer to her.

"911 what is your emergency?"

Misao was being pulled by her legs and she tried to make sense of things. Shinomori pinned her underneath his heavy body "I'm going to kill you but before I do that I'm going to make you suffer so much that you are going to beg to be dead"

Misao could hear the distinct cries of Kamatari but her eyes fought to stay open. Everything was blurry and all she could feel was Shinomori's disgusting hands on her legs. Tables were being slammed as Kamatari ran away from the man. Her main objective was to make as much noise as possible so the 911 operator could hear what was going on. She came across some bottles of liquor and then remembered she still had her lighter on her. She searched into her pant pocket and pulled the lighter out.

"Stay still you bitch" yelled the man as they ran around more tables.

Shinomori grinned wider as he exposed Misao's bra-less breasts. His hungry eyes taking all that he had wanted to see for a while now.

Kamatari was panicking now and she knew that she had to do something to save misao and herself. She ran back towards where the liquor was and picked one up. The man cornered Kamatari and she grinned "I got you now you little bitch"

Kamatari laughed "I hope you like black label" she opened the bottle and threw the liquor at the man who covered his eyes in fear of getting that in his eyes. She lit up her lighter and as fast as she could lit up part of her jacket. The clothe immediately caught fire and the man began to scream.


As all of this was happening Aoshi had asked Kaoru and Kenshi to stay with the twins because he was on his way to pick up misao. He had planned on surprising her with his late night visit and maybe convince her to go somewhere more private than the penthouse.

As he entered the building which currently housed his lovely woman he took notice that the security guard wasn't sitting at his post. He found it odd and looked around for him. Not being able to find the man he shrugged and walked over to the elevator. When the door opened his eyes widened. The security guard was laying on the floor with a wound on his head. He became frantic and pushed the button to the studio. There was no way that he would make it to that floor by running. He took out his cellphone and dialed 911 and told them to send someone as soon as possible.


Kamatari picked one of the cameras and ran towards Shinomori who was groping her almost unconscious friend. She slammed the device on his back only to have him turned around to her and punch her on the stomach...really, really hard. She dropped the camera and fell to her knees.

The man that was on fire screamed and dropped to the floor trying to put out the fire. Shinomori stood up from his position and rushed to the man trying to help him put out the fire. Kamatari took in deep breaths and helped misao sit up "come on misao snap out of it"

"Where am I?"

"Misao we have to get the hell out of here. Shinomori's gone crazy and he's trying to kill us" misao blinked numerous times and rubbed her head "come on while he is distracted" they both stumbled and after realizing that they couldn't walk both got on their hands and knees and began to crawl out of the big studio.

Shinomori couldn't help his man anymore. He was going to be goner in a matter of minutes. No problem he would kill the bitch that set his man on fire and then go back for misao. He had great plans for her. He turned around only to find no one where there should have been two. He yelled in frustration and began to search the room. They were both battered and tired they couldn't have gone too far.

Misao and Kamatari made it out of the main room and were now crawling out of the hallway leading towards the elevator. They kept looking back hoping that he wasn't too close. They both froze on their spot when they heard the elevator ding and both hurried to hide in case Shinomori had more men. It was futile the only way to hide would be to run back into the studio and that was something that neither would do.

So both looked at each other "we have no where to run to now Kamatari"

"Misao..."

"Thank you for helping me Kamatari. It will be my turn to help you now. So when I count to three you run for the elevator while I run for whoever is coming out" kamatari shook her head "please do this. At least one of us has to get out of here alive Kamatari. If you can make down there you might get help and we can both be saved"

"Alright misao, but stay alive" they stood up getting help from the wall and watched as the door to the elevator opened.

"One. Two. Three" Kamatari ran on the left while Misao ran on the right straight for whoever was coming out of the elevator. She jumped onto of the person sending them both to the ground "go now Kamatari"

"Misao" both women stopped and looked down to see Aoshi trying to get up.

"Aoshi" she sighed and leaned down hugging him "oh god...oh Aoshi we are so glad you are here"

Misao got off of him and he sat up. Once he did he took notice of her face and her clothes "what's going on? Who did this?"

"Aoshi it was..."

"Me" the all turned to see Shinomori standing at the end of the hallway with a gun raised "now step aside son and let me take the girl"

Aoshi narrowed his eyes and stood up bringing misao behind him. She held his shirt tightly "what the fuck do you think you are doing? How dare you lay a hand on her?"

Shinomori laughed "oh the hero came to rescue his princess. Move Aoshi or I will shoot you"

"Then go ahead and shoot me. What makes you think that I will do as you say? I no longer listen to you and I will protec my wife from you" Misao held onto him tighter. He looked over his shoulder and realized that Kamatari still held the elevator opened.

He smiled and without anyone being able to realize what was happening he shoved misao into the elevator "GO NOW"

"AOSHI"

kamatari let the door go and Shinomori shot at them. Aoshi dropped to the floor and misao tried to get to him. The door closed and she banged on the door "Aoshi...oh god Aoshi"

Kamatari held onto misao as she cried "he's going to kill him, we have to get him back"

Shinomori walked up to his son on the floor and kicked him "bastard. Always ruining everything. You think you saved her? I will get her and I will kill you right here"

"Well father you might kill me, but I already made sure that you don't get misao. The police are probably down on the main floor as we speak" Shinomori raised his leg to kick him again and Aoshi grabbed his leg sending the old man on the ground.

With him on the ground Shinomori lost his gun and Aoshi hurried to kick it out of the way. The gun slid far from both of them. Shinomori stood "alright I see you want to do this hand to hand. Well son I'll make sure that you learn a good lesson" with that both men engaged in a fist fight.

Only time will tell who the victor of that fight would be...aoshi might be young and stronger, but his father was cunning and has been known to be a man that wouldn't give up no matter what.

(I can't really do fight scenes...all I can tell you is that both men shoved each other and soon Shinomori was knocked so hard that he slid down a wall and aoshi spit on him)

"You are pathetic Shinomori. You were always a coward...killing when you couldn't get your way...but this will end. For touching my wife for trying to get rid of her and my children...I will make you pay" he walked over to where the gun had landed and piked it up.

As he stood infront of his father Shinomori did nothing but laugh "you don't have the gust to kill me boy. You are nothing but a mama's boy"

Aoshi smirked "oh?" with that he shot his father on the leg "you are right I don't have the guts to kill you or anyone for that matter...but that never meant I couldn't pull the trigger not did it?" Shinomori screamed in pain.

The elevator opened and ten police officers came out rushing to the men. They took the gun from Aoshi and placed cuffs on him...then they helped shinomori up and placed cuffs on him as well.

The police were quick to get the help necessary for the unconscious guard and for the women. Misao was refusing help until she knew that Aoshi was fine. They were soon answered when Aoshi and his father were being escorted by the police. She ran to him holding some sheets to her body.

"Aoshi where are they taking you?" she looked up at him.

"I shot him so I have to face the consequences"

"But he tried to kill us...you can't" she turned to the police "you can't take him, please understand he saved me and my friend"

The police officer smiled "I must take him in. It's procedure, don't worry if he indeed saved you and your friend I don't think that they will keep him for too long"

Aoshi leaned down and kissed her quickly "are you alright?" he asked after pulling away from her lips.

She put a hand to his cheek and the other to her stomach "we are both alright thanks to you"

The police officer smiled once more "wait for me my misao. I'll be home soon. Go on and get treated for those bruises and give the kids my good night kiss" she nodded and kissed him again. "Could you allow me to leaned down more?" he asked the police officer. He nodded.

Once he was low enough he kissed her stomach "be safe for mommy and me little one" misao giggle and embraced him.

"Hurry home. Or I will come and get you" he nodded and was placed inside the police car. She watched him leave...watched and prayed that he would soon be let go.

But for tonight she had a friend to look after and some children to watch.
