Chapter 3: 'coincidence or fate?'
Regular pov.
It was a dark, cold night as the moon beamed over the aoyia. It was accurately midnight when everybody is of course asleep. Everyone except two people that is. Misao and Aoshi of course decided to both take a walk but what both don't know is….that the other that they either fear or want, is also doing the same thing.
Aoshi pov.
It was a bit chilly than I had expected it to be. I began to put back on my old fighting uniform, since I haven't worn it since I was back at Shishio's. I have finally gotten my trench coat around me and headed out towards the town. I silently closed the door and headed out on the path. As I was walking, all too familiar thoughts came back to my head. Of course, who other than Misao to be in my thoughts. I still yet again, think about her and when she is coming back. Even I have admitted to myself that I do not care for her….
I love her…..
Everything about her I could remember, her smiles, her laughs, and even her jokes she used to tell when of course she was little. But of course, being me, I smashed all that from her when I had to be the bastard I am and tell her those hurtful words. I never meant them at all. How could I have been so foolish? I lost her because of a foolish mistake I made. But I deserve that, for being the monster I am.
I continued with these thoughts in my head as I finally entered the town, though it looks more as a dead town now with the fog. I continued my pace and looked around to see just darkness, closed shops, and an endless fog that reaches up to just about my knee's. But the one thing that only caught my attention was the moon. I could recall when Misao was little and would ask me all sorts of questions about it:
'Lord Aoshi, how far is tha moon? What's tha moon made of? Is it true that it's made up of cheese?'
I would try to answer her nonstop questions until I got tired. Then she would go to hanyaa and torture him for awhile with her questions.
I let a small smile set across my face, though a stranger probably wouldn't notice it. But not the figure about 10 feet in front of me, who was just standing there. I senced someone around and stopped staring at the moon and looked straight and saw someone I didn't expect to see.
" Misao..."
Misao's pov.
( note this is her pov. when aoshi was getting ready to leave...just so there's no confusion..)
I have decided that I would take a walk, since it always calms me when I'm down. It was a bit more chily that I had expected it to be. So I put a little jacket on that I got from my travels, with along the rest of my clothing. I still decided to wear my uniform, but not the same one of course, I just made it a little bigger for I was getting to old for the other one, if you know what I mean. Everything about my clothing was the same except the jacket, whick was a dark purple. They say the western people wear these when it gets cold as well.
So Finally after getting ready, I finally headed out from my cave, that I found during my journey. As I walked, thoughts came to my head that I think about everyday, no, every second.' Aoshi...I wonder what your doing now?' I thought,' I hope your okay'. I wonder all the time if he ever thinks of me at all. Probably not, he did tell me to never see him again after all. Though in the letter I told him I left not because of what he said but to find myself, butit really was because of what he said. I also wonder how the others are doing. Jiya is probably being perverted as always, Okon and Omasu are probably always at hiko's, and Kuro and Shiro are probably trying to cook but as always, fails.
I have finally entered town and decided to look around a bit, though there wasnt really much to look. All there really was was closed shops and fog. But the one thing that caught my attention was the moon. I could always remmber how I would always ask Aoshi questions of the moon. Then whenhe didn't, then I would go and ask Hanyaa. I Let a smile it my face, since I haven't smiled for awhile.It felt good to remember the good times then the bad times, and usually having walks help me with that.
I decided to leave since I was out here for about an hour or so and by the time I got back, it would be extremely late. So as I stopped looking at the moon and looked straight ahead, all my blood felt cold and all my thoughts were dead. Him, the one thing I had been trying to forget, was right there. Aoshi Shinomori was right there. Just thinking the name makes my skin crawl. He seemed to be also looking up at the moonand was lost in his thoughts. I thought maybe he wouldn't see me if I snuck away, but that thought was also dead as he must of senced someone and looked straight at me.
We both just stood there, believing that this was nothappening. I saw in his eyes, a flicker of longing and surprise. But if I didn't know better, I could have sworn I saw a ficker of love in there as well. Must be my eyes playing tricks on me.
" Misao"
I was snapped out of my thoughts as he had said my name, with that same cold voice, though a little warmer. All I could do was stand there and see what was to come...as he took a step forward and repeated my name again.
" Misao"
