Under the Crystal Moon

The migration.

Aoshi was lying in bed asleep with Misao with a knock on the door interrupted his sleep, Okina knew that Aoshi never like to be disturbed at any hour. Knowing that it might be important, he put on his black silk yukata and answered the door, Misao was still sleeping in bed when Aoshi came back to the room where they were. "Aoshi-anata, what is it?" Misao asked as she woke up lying in the bed covered up, Aoshi just wanted Misao to go back to sleep. He took off his yukata and slipped back into bed, the sleep enveloped that once had Aoshi now had him again.

"Okina, don't tell me that vampire hunters are back," Suki was worried that Misao and Aoshi will have to flee soon; there was an old castle that was in disrepair and was falling apart that was perfect.

Shiro and Kuro had started to renovate the castle to fit Aoshi and Misao's style, Kuro made sure that Aoshi had a study filled with books for reading. "Shiro, do you think this will do for Aoshi and Misao for a place to live?" Kuro asked as he rinsed brushes out of paint, Shiro was just amazed on how the castle was looking. Kuro liked the stone work of the old castle; Okina came by to inspect the castle to make sure it was safe for Aoshi and Misao to live in for their home.

"This castle looks better than it was first built," Okina smiled a bit still feeling worried about Aoshi and Misao, those vampire hunters were good people to meet. But what worried Okina the most that the vampire hunters hunted the vampires regardless how they acted, it made Aoshi worry as well to where he had to tell his Misao-mine. "Kuro thinks it about ready for Aoshi and Misao," Shiro told Okina with a smile, which Okina liked to her that…

Aoshi didn't like surprises very much and he knew that Misao didn't liked to be surprised as well, and that especially by his lurking in the shadows. He laid on the bed with is book reading while Misao sat at the vanity sharpening her nails, Misao was happy in her married life with Aoshi, and yet, something was missing, she was ready to have kids, Aoshi said not until they get a bigger home.

"Aoshi-sama, when do you think we will get a new home?" Misao asked her husband, she had a very sensual smile one. Aoshi looked up from his book to look at his precious wife; he knew it will be soon that they will be in a new home. "I know it's soon, my Misao," Aoshi said as he got up to put his book up to get ready for bed since it was almost dawn now, soon Misao would join her husband in bed.

Of course, Aoshi was right…The vampire hunters were closing on Aoshi and Misao now, this really worried Suki very much. "Suki, are you alright?" Omasu asked Aoshi's younger brother, Suki couldn't really tell Omasu what was wrong with him. Aoshi could read him; it's now that his brother was now sleeping during the day with Misao. "Omasu, I can only tell you that I'm worried about Aoshi and Misao," Suki knew that he didn't want them to leave the Aoi-ya, Misao grew up here and this was Aoshi's home as well up until he was bitten by a vampiress turning into a vampire.

Okina came home to see how Aoshi and Misao were doing; he knew that Suki was worried about Aoshi and Misao. "Are they asleep?" Okina asked as Suki nodded, it was the daytime and vampires didn't go into the sun until their 3 century.

The next night was when Aoshi and Misao packed up to go to their new home; they started west toward the castle past the forbidden shadow forest. "Misao-mine, I guess that's it," Aoshi sighed as they entered the castle, now the light led them to their room where they will sleep for now on.

Misao now really felt like a princess in a fairy tale, Aoshi kissed his vampiress with a wild passion.

"Aoshi-sama, that kiss was like the kiss you gave me at our wedding," Misao smiled at her husband while laying out there bed, Aoshi couldn't help but to smile too. He was glad to be with his princess of the night, and that he didn't regret marrying Misao in the least bit, that showed how much he really loved her. "Yes, my princess, I have so much more," Aoshi kissed Misao and continued to kiss his beautiful bride; Nika liked his new home with more space to run around now.

Aoshi and Misao went to go feed for the night, they also hired some servants to keep the castle while they slept or they were gone. "My Misao, it's all what I wanted to be with you," Aoshi looked at the moon as if it was made of crystal; he remembered the night he and Misao had married.

Aoshi thought Misao looked so beautiful in that crimson kimono; Misao thought she couldn't get any more beautiful, but she did and Aoshi liked it. "Aoshi-sama, aishiteru," Misao smiled at her husband with same smile she had before they left, Aoshi had wanted to hear Misao to say that to him for so long. Aoshi kissed her again before he answered her, his affection had spurred them to look at getting a child. "Yes, my love, aishiteru," Aoshi kissed his bride as he answered her, Misao snuggled into Aoshi's arms as they went home their castle.

Flashback

At the wedding of Aoshi and Misao.

Aoshi stood at the altar waiting for his bride to come to him, the priest made sure that everything was ready for the ceremony for Aoshi and Misao. "Ladies and gentlemen, we, tonight, gather to bring this young couple together," the old priest said to the audience, everything was right for the wedding and soon the bride and groom to say their vows to each other with love.

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 vampiress after the she drunk the mixture.

End of flashback

"I remember that beautiful crimson kimono you wore," Aoshi kissed his bride before falling asleep for the day; Misao fell asleep within her husband arms in their bed. She remembered the wedding as well as her husband; Misao thought that Aoshi looked so handsome.

The Aoi-ya.

"Okina, why did you have to move my brother and Misao to move?" Suki asked now missing Aoshi and Misao, Okina's answer was short and to the point. Suki knew of the vampire hunters' guild and their return to Kyoto, Okina talked to his old friend, Oka, about Aoshi and Misao.

"Suki, you know the guild rules," Okina said to Suki to try to be stern with the young man, Oka knew Aoshi from when he was a little boy. Being moved away was what saved Aoshi and Misao's lives to a point; it was Sai that wanted to kill both Aoshi and Misao. "Okina, I think Sai is planning something to kill some friends of yours," Oka's sharp voice rang out from the hall of the Aoi-ya, Okina thought he saw tears fall from Suki's eyes. Oka didn't want to see Suki upset over what Sai was planning; he was going to talk to the guilds master about Sai's planning to kill Aoshi and Misao.

The Hijinaki Castle.

"Aoshi-sama, what is it?" Misao asked looking at her dear husband, and then she started to scream as vampire hunters came to the castle. The screaming scared Aoshi into grabbing his twin kodachi to defend and protect his bride, of course now, he was angry at the vampire hunters. "WHAT DID WE DO TO YOU TO DESERVE THIS!" Aoshi yelled with black tears streaming down his cheeks on his Misao, he was past upset because someone had hurt his bride.

Oka already was sent running when he heard Aoshi's thunderous voice yelling, Okina went with his old friend to see what was going on at the castle. "SAI, STOP THIS AT ONCE," Oka yelled noticing Aoshi with his kodachi out of their sheathe pointing at Sai's chest, all that laughing was Sai laughing thinking that Aoshi wouldn't be able to beat him. Boy, would he be wrong when Aoshi started to attack the corrupt vampire hunter, it came out, all the rage and anger came out from him.

"Never in my years of life have I seen a vampire do that," Oka said to Okina, who was just surprised at Aoshi's strength, Aoshi really had loved Misao so much that he was willing to protect her.

Misao was still alive crying for Aoshi to come back, the unthinkable happened to Aoshi…
