" Dammit! Stupid obi!" Misao mumbled as she tried to wear her blue kimono, her obi tangled on her wrists.

Still trying to tie the obi, she finally gave up and found the obi tied firmly to both her wrists, struggling to let go, it tightened, making Misao had to cut them with her kunai.

" Dammit, why do I even have to wear obi?" She grumbled as the pieces of thin fabrics dropped to the floor.

" Omasu! I need a new obi!" She shouted, her voice heard through the corridors.

" Coming! What color Misao-chan?"

" I don't know! Whadduya think will match with a damned YELLOW kimono!" Misao shouted.

It's been a week since Soujirou left Tokyo, and here she is, back at Kyoto.

" Aargh! It's tanabata festival, I wish I could've gone with Aoshi-sama instead of you guys"!" She complained as Omasu handed her another obi. But wait, she thought, don't she like Soujirou? Oh, dammit, life is complicated, tore between two boys, Misao felt helpless.

She thought about the last weeks she had with him, the last minutes…

Flashback to a week ago

"Misao-chan" Soujirou said as they sat on the firefly bend, it was 12 on the midnight but the bright full moon allowed both of them to see each other's face clearly.

" What?" Misao glanced at the boy beside her, he was sitting faced down. Misao looked away, she stared at their reflection on the water, she looked back at him and asked, " Hey Soujirou, are you really leaving tomorrow?"

He turned his head, finding Misao's face just a few inches form his own. He blushed and shrugged. " I don't know, I guess so, after all, I am a wanderer"

" Doesn't make you have to leave so soon does it?" She mumbled, there was annoyance in her voice, she sounded so angry. " Oh shit!" Misao thought," I didn't mean to say it so grudgingly, I was just upset he'd be gone"

Soujirou mumbled something softly.

" What?" Misao asked.

" Nothing" Soujirou answered, he smiled and kept on staring at the water.

Misao shrugged and continued looking at the water too.

" I was just telling you that you're pretty" Soujirou exclaimed suddenly, he looked away.

Misao stared at him wide eyed and blushed.

" um… thanks Soujirou-kun" Misao said, she tried to look at him but found herself wordless.

Now it was Soujirou's turn to blush, he giggled and put his arms around her.
