Under the Crystal Moon

The shattered tears.

Misao hugged on Okina while Oka when to go see if Aoshi was still alive, indeed Aoshi was barely alive with a bolt in his left shoulder and several burns on him. Oka glared at Sai when he moved to protect Aoshi and Misao; Okina took Misao inside as Oka took care of Aoshi and the injuries. "I want to know what possessed you to do this, Sai," Oka knew that Aoshi and Misao were just innocent vampires that were caught in the middle; Aoshi was helped inside the castle so his injuries could be tended to. Okina helped to get Aoshi inside to Misao, Sai tried to escape only to be caught by Aoshi's wolf. "Okay, I thought we were to hunt all vampires regardless of how they acted, Oka," Sai finally said as he was taken back to the guild, Okina stay with Aoshi and Misao until Aoshi was asleep.

Omasu was worried about Aoshi and Misao, so she went to visit them after what happened with the vampire hunters. "Misao-chan, what happened to Aoshi?" Omasu asked as she saw Aoshi lying in bed asleep, a tear fell from Misao's eye as looked at her friend. Fortunately for Aoshi, he was just sleeping trying to heal his injuries, and that would please Misao to see his eyes once more.

"My Misao, please don't cry for me again," Misao gasped when she saw Aoshi looking at her, he was getting better than he did when Sai tried to kill him.

Aoshi sat up to pull his wife into an embrace, his shoulder gave a sharp pain to Aoshi's body, but he ignored the pain. "Aoshi-sama…" Misao tried to say something only to be kissed by Aoshi; she carefully returned the kiss as not to upset the wound on Aoshi's shoulder. Misao only happened to lie in Aoshi's embrace after that kiss; Aoshi and his bride were going to go to the local orphanage to adopt a child to raise as their own. "Misao-mine, all I care about is your happiness," Aoshi smiled as he got up for the night, both he and Misao were ready to have their own children.

It was known that Aoshi was ready to go to his children; Nika and Konoko were fed before Aoshi left with Misao to go to the local orphanage. "Misao-mine, tonight we shall have our children," Aoshi smiled at his wife, Misao smiled back at her husband as she held his hand. The moon shone without a care that night, two kids at the local orphanage were supposed to be asleep. "Reika, we should go back to bed," Yuji said to his twin sister, to their surprise, Aoshi and Misao came to adopt them into their family. The director of the orphanage was reluctant to give up the twins; Aoshi had to do something to get the director to give up the twins. "I want the children to have a good home, Mr. Shinomori," the director said to Aoshi with contempt, Aoshi knew that was the same director when he was alive.

Aoshi only gave the director an emotionless look, as the okashira of the Oniwabanshu and as a vampire, he really didn't like disrespect at all and neither did Misao. "Ms. Kai, don't ever talk to me like that again," Aoshi sneered at the director showing his fangs, Ms. Kai wasn't afraid of Aoshi and never thought that the fangs were real. But the fangs that Aoshi was showing were real and very sharp to the touch, Aoshi produced to legal adoption paper for Ms. Kai to sign releasing the children.

"At Wednesday midnight, the children will be yours," Ms. Kai signed the papers for Aoshi and Misao before the kids were sent to their new parents, Aoshi had known that he and Misao would have to convert the children to being vampires, but that could wait.

The kids were given to their new parents, Misao couldn't be any more happier now that she and Aoshi had adopted their kids. "Well, my princess of the night, we have our kids," Aoshi kissed Misao when they got the kids home, both Aoshi and Misao both had to go feed for the night. Aoshi just knew that the twins were afraid of Aoshi when they saw his fangs, Misao tried to calm their fears by telling them that Aoshi wasn't going to hurt them in tone of abuse.

"Aoshi-sama, is something the matter?" Misao asked moving his bangs from his eyes; Aoshi just remembered all the times of the abuse back when he was alive. His wife thought she saw a tear fall from her husband's crystalline ice blue eyes, it was hard to believe, but Aoshi was crying.

"Misao-mine, I fear for Suki's life with my uncle still at the Aoi-ya," Aoshi looked at his bride with a worried look; she knew that Aoshi didn't want to lose Suki. Just the worry was evident on Aoshi's face; tears flowed freely from Aoshi's eyes as Misao raised her hand to wipe a tear from his eyes with a gentle hand. "Aoshi-sama, I know you worry for your brother," Misao looked at Aoshi with a concerned face; she wanted to help Aoshi to free his brother from his uncle.

Flashback

Aoshi ran through the forest trying to evade his uncle because he didn't want the bruises again, his great uncle was away on some official business for the Oniwabanshu. 'Now what do I do?' Aoshi thought to himself as he jumped up onto a tree branch, he sat up there for quite awhile until his uncle found him sitting in a tree. An argument was started between Aoshi and Shiyo.

"UNCLE, YOU DRINK WAY TOO MUCH," Aoshi managed to yell at his uncle, and that resulted a kick to the ribs. Aoshi managed to stand to his to his feet when the okashira found Shiyo and him out in the forest, Makimachi Ryu saw Aoshi holding his ribs in pain from that kick to the ribs. "Aoshi-kun, go back to the Aoi-ya and have Okon to look at your ribs," Ryu said approaching Aoshi, who was grateful that Okashira Makimachi had came out to stop his uncle.

Shiyo tried to grab for Aoshi when Ryu grabbed his wrist, Aoshi had been already at the Aoi-ya being look at by Okon. "There you go, Aoshi-kun, your ribs are bandaged," Okon said putting away the first aid kit, Aoshi got up to go lay down for awhile to let his ribs heal. He didn't want his teachers at school to find out that he and his brother were abused by there uncle, Okashira Makimachi had to do something to save the boys lives before something happens to them.

"Okon, where is Aoshi at?" Ryu asked the young konoichi angry at Shiyo, Okon just pointed up to Aoshi's room, where Aoshi was sleeping letting the broken ribs heal before there was a mission to be done at the Okashira's command. The okashira went up to check on Aoshi to make sure that the young man was okay, the okashira and the elders were going to have to talk about Shiyo's punishment.

End of flashback

"Misao-mine, if it wasn't for your grandfather, I wouldn't be sitting here enjoying your company," Aoshi kissed his bride when the kids started to watch them, Misao was just grateful for her grandfather for saving Aoshi from Shiyo. Aoshi didn't want to bare his fangs to the kids in fear of scaring the kids from their new home, he just put the kids back into there futons to sleep for the night while he and Misao went out to go feed for the night before it was time to sire the kids into vampires. "Aoshi-sama, I'm just grateful for what my grand father did for you," Misao just held Aoshi's hand laying her head on his shoulder; they were a very beautiful couple of the night.

Aoshi just couldn't help but to kiss Misao, and she had never gave up on Aoshi because she knew she would never stop loving him. "I know, my Misao," Aoshi kissed Misao before grabbing a victim to sink his fangs into; Misao returned the kiss with a passion before sinking her fangs into a victim.

Aoshi sank his fangs into an unsuspecting female as Misao sank her fangs into an unsuspecting male drinking the blood, Aoshi, as a vampire, enjoyed the taste of blood as he drank. "Aoshi-sama, I love how the full moon shines in your hair," Misao said licking the blood off her lips, of course that aroused Aoshi's appetite for his bride. They went back to the castle before the sun had hit them, Aoshi knew what is was like to be badly sun burned and still be a vampire.

"Misao, my princess, when did you want to tell the kids?" Aoshi asked kissing on Misao gently, it was now threatening to rain, and yet, Aoshi and Misao didn't care.

Misao thought at Aoshi's question and knew they will have to do it soon, she just giggled at Aoshi's kisses as the kisses tickled her. She remembered the night the meeting between the elders and her grandfather; it was to decide Takeda Shiyo fate in the Oniwabanshu.

Flashback

"Sokiya, we need to talk about what Shiyo is doing to your great grandnephew," Ryu said to Shinomori Sokiya, one of the Oniwabanshu elder and Aoshi's great uncle. Sokiya went to Ryu so they could talk, ever since Aoshi came to the Aoi-ya, it was he that cared for Aoshi. "Yes, I think we need to talk about that problem, Ryu," Sokiya said with contempt for Shiyo, he wasn't the only on that had cared about Aoshi so much. Sokiya was Shinomori Hiro's uncle and he remained at the Aoi-ya with the Oniwabanshu as an elder since he had gotten older then.

"What is there to talk about, Ryu?" Kai asked with little concern for Aoshi, which made Ryu mad and even more concerned with Aoshi. Sokiya sighed and sat at the meeting table, Kai and his brother soon followed with Ryu in tow. "Kai, the lives of two boys of 13 years and 11 years are at stake," Ryu stated to the other two elders, Sokiya sat thinking of what to do to Takeda Shiyo. Ryu wanted to give Shiyo a taste of what happened to the boys, it was Aoshi's great uncle to come up with the banishment.

"Sokiya-kun, do you think he will listen to you?" Kai asked with a curiosity that could kill the cat in a instant, Sokiya knew he wasn't going to be the one to tell Shiyo. That responsibility always went to the okashira; Ryu knew that he will have to tell Shiyo that soon. "Kai and Raizo, Sokiya is right," Ryu said as he stood up to go find Shiyo, it was now official, Shiyo was out of the Oniwabanshu.

End of flashback

Aoshi took the little girl as Misao took the little boy, sinking their fangs into the neck symbolized that the kids were officially theirs. "My Misao, it's Wednesday midnight and the children are asleep in there beds," Aoshi kissed his bride with a burning passion, Misao pulled out a bottle of blood wine to celebrate the adoption of the kids. Aoshi and Misao shared that bottle of blood wine until they fell asleep in each others arms; they were now going to live happily as a vampire family now.
