Disclaimer is that I still don't own Rurouni Kenshin…sorry.

Rising Moon of Crystal.

Aoshi got up with Misao in his arms asleep; he laid her down on her futon so she can rest for the rest of the night. He went out to find some descent blood to drink for the night, after he came back to the Aoi-ya, he felt pain as he tried to take his shirt off to go to bed. 'Blisters is not what I need, of course I need help,' Aoshi thought until Okina knocked on his door, it was a good think that Aoshi was just in his pants and not the underwear. He opened the with pain grimacing his face as the door slid open to let Okina in, now Okina wondered what happened to Aoshi being blistered on the arm and shoulder.

"What happened to your shoulder and arm?" Okina asked quickly to keep Misao from hearing what happened to him, and Aoshi was using the same quiet tone before passing out. Shiro carefully helped Aoshi to sit in the shadows away from the sun; black tears fell from Aoshi's eyes because he was in pain from the severe sun burn and he was glad it wasn't holy water.

"I got sun burned," Aoshi couldn't help but to close his eyes as Okina treated the burn on the arm and shoulder, carefully Aoshi laid in his sarcophagus falling sleep with his arm in a sling to let his arm heal and repair. He knew that he had to wait until Misao was ready to marry him, the medicine that Okina had given him really worked on stopping the pain from the burn. 'Please, Misao-mine, don't worry so much over me,' Aoshi thought for awhile as he slept that day, Okina came to check on Aoshi to change the bandages on the arm and shoulder.

He was surprised on how gentle Okina was with his arm and shoulder, Misao was going to his room to talk with him. "Aoshi-sama…what happened to you?" Misao went to Aoshi to touch his sore shoulder in a comforting way, which would just cause him more pain than he already had.

"My Misao, it's just a sun burn," Aoshi turned to look at Misao with his ice blue eye of his, Misao's eyes were on the verge of tears when she saw the bandages on her beloved Aoshi-sama.

Tears were threatening to spill from Misao's eyes; a gentle hand from Aoshi wiped her tears away.

"It's not right for my princess to cry, Misao-mine," Aoshi finally smile to her as he dried her tears, he now really didn't want Misao to cry any more. Lips locked in a passionate kiss, Misao felt that tingle and deepened that kiss with Aoshi, and it was now that Aoshi was getting hungry for blood since it was night outside. "What is it, Aoshi-sama?" Misao asked looking into Aoshi's eyes, he told her that he was hungry and he couldn't leave because of his sun burn that was healing.

Misao had left to go get some blood wine for Aoshi; she knew the Aoshi had no tolerance for very strong alcohol and with good reason too. "Misao-chan, what are you doing with that blood wine?" Okina asked with curiosity, and Misao to him that it was for Aoshi because he was hungry.

Aoshi waited in his room to his blood wine to drink, he was just in a pair of loose pants sitting at his desk writing in his diary. "Aoshi-sama, I brought you some blood wine," Misao smiled as she sat the wine glass of the blood wine down, Aoshi took a sip of the blood wine with relish of Misao's company. He didn't want Misao to be alone again, and he was going to tell her that despite of what had happened with him and him becoming a blood-sucking vampire.

"Misao-mine, I don't want you to be alone, I prefer you here to be with me," Aoshi told Misao as she sat next to him at his desk, with Misao, the sun burn Aoshi had didn't hurt as much now. Aoshi drank the blood wine feeling not quite as hungry, Misao went to go take the wine glass back to the kitchen to be cleaned and to be used again by the people that come to the Aoi-ya.

"Do feel any better, Aoshi-sama?" Misao smiled at Aoshi when she had the roll of bandages from the table beside Aoshi's sarcophagus, Misao's touch was very light as she removed the old bandages from his arm and shoulder. She noticed that the blisters were hardly noticeable on Aoshi's shoulder and arm and that was a good thing, she started to wrap his arm and shoulder before it was time for her to go lay to sleep in her futon for the night.

"Yes, my Misao, I do feel better," Aoshi smiled at his Misao with a certain look in his eyes, it was going to be better if he waited until she was of the right age to marry.

Two years later.

It was 2 years since being sun burned very badly and it was now time for him to marry, he knew what or who he wanted to marry. "My Misao, I wish for you to be mine," Aoshi took Misao by the hand and led her out to the garden at night, he wasn't hungry, he just wanted to talk with her.

Misao was nervous when Aoshi looked at her; Aoshi had something to ask her that was something that was very important to him. "What is you wanted to ask me, Aoshi-sama?" Misao tried to looking to Aoshi ice blue eyes, Aoshi just simply sat her on the bench underneath a Sakura tree so he can look at her. The moon wasn't full just yet for Aoshi to marry Misao; he took out a small velvet box out of his trench out pocket. "My Misao, will you marry me?" Aoshi asked as he opened the small velvet box showing Misao the ring he picked out, Misao just didn't know what to say to Aoshi.

Okina was anxiously waited for Misao's answer for Aoshi, Misao's eyes watered with tears as she looked at the ring. "Yes, Aoshi-sama, I will marry you," Misao said in a very squeaky voice as if she was excited, Aoshi took the ring and slid it on his Misao's finger looking into her eyes. The announcement was given to the Himuras and to Sanosuke, Kaoru was happy for Misao finally getting to marrying Aoshi, the most handsome man in the world.

"Misao, you will be fine, trust me," Kaoru smiled as she looked at her friend, Misao smiled back at her friend as they were with Okon and Omasu looking for a crimson-colored kimono for Misao's wedding.

Aoshi and the guys were looking for a black wedding kimono; Kenshin knew that Aoshi had a taste for the expensive silk clothes. "Aoshi, geez, you do have some really expensive tastes," Sanosuke complained only to get back handed in the back of the head by Aoshi himself, Sanosuke only said nothing else and was rubbing the back of his head…

Shiro found the right black silk wedding kimono for Aoshi, Kenshin thought was beautiful for Aoshi to wear. "It's in Aoshi's size, which is great," Shiro had gotten the kimono for Aoshi and the wedding, it was almost to that full moon and the official had to be found yet.

Kenshin was glad that Aoshi was going to get married; Saitou came to the wedding shower with his wife and a present. "Saitou, what is in the box?" Aoshi asked the wolf as he was petting Nika the grey wolf, all what Saitou was smirked at Aoshi and Misao as they opened the box. A wolf pup leapt out at Aoshi licking his face, it made Misao laugh when she saw that wolf pup on Aoshi.

"Thank you, Saitou, she's beautiful," Misao took the wolf pup to feed her; Saitou and Aoshi were left to talk about what Aoshi would expect in a marriage. An official for the wedding was found before the full moon, it was the next night was when Aoshi was to marry Misao. "Misao, you should start getting ready for your wedding," Kaoru said as she got the crimson kimono out, Misao was washed and cleaned for the ceremony that was to take place that night in the garden.

The mix was set up and the altar was arranged for the bride and groom, Aoshi looked out the window at the guest with an increasing hunger. "Aoshi, soon you will be married, that you will," Kenshin smiled at his friend, and Aoshi wished that his parents could see him now getting ready to marry his Misao at that moment in time.

When Okina went to get Aoshi because is it was time for him to marry, Aoshi stood at the altar with a lot of dignity and honor. "Come on, Misao, Aoshi is waiting for you," Omasu smiled as she led Misao to Aoshi at the altar, Misao never look so beautiful in that kimono. Aoshi knew that the moon was granting him the wish to marry Misao; he took a calming deep breath as his bride made her way to the altar. "Here we are to celebrate the union of this young couple," the priest turned to face Aoshi and Misao with the vows that they wrote to they wrote to each other, Aoshi noticed the smile on Misao's face and he knew that wedding was almost done.

Misao's vow to Aoshi.

To my Aoshi, all my life I have loved you and wished for you to be mine, now, my wish has been granted and here I am with you on this altar. My gift to you, my love, is this ring on your finger with your love close to my heart; I know you always will protect me.

Aoshi's vow to Misao.

To my Misao, all my life I have loved you and wished for you to be mine, now, my wish has been granted and here I am with you on this altar. My gift to you, my love, is this ring on your finger with your love close to my heart; I know I always will protect you.

Misao had to drink the mix to close out the wedding; Aoshi caught Misao when she felt dizzy from drinking all the mixture. "As now, you are married, Aoshi-san, you may kiss your bride," the old priest said as Aoshi kissed Misao as her husband and she returned the kiss as Aoshi's wife, Okina was glad that Aoshi had married Misao. As it was, it was almost dawn and Aoshi and Misao both had to find a place to sleep for the day, Misao was now Aoshi's vampires after the she drunk the mixture.
