Recap of Last Chapter
"Yeah, of course she's fine", snorted Omasu who just appeared at the door, "She's got herself a boyfriend…"
Misao blushed furiously.
"Really?" Aoshi asked, suddenly becoming interested at the subject, "I thought you weren't interested in boys"
"Well, umm…" Misao thought, "Never mind", and she left the room.
-----------------------------------------------------o-----------------------------------------------------
A week has passed since Aoshi came back to Kyoto and it turned out that Aoshi never actually left Kyoto, he was in the forests that surrounded it, nevertheless, none of them found him there, so they ignored that comment and acted as though they didn't think of that.
Misao sat in he room, brushing her hair silently, she was still thinking about Soujirou, and with Aoshi back in her life, she came back in the world of confusion, where she is, once again, tore apart between two boys, and everything seems to be undecided.
She wondered where Soujirou was right now, is he safe?
Misao couldn't bear the thoughts of Soujirou flowing through her brains, it was so strange, that it was just a year ago that they professed their love for one another, and Misao knew then that they were meant to be, and that She trusted him, and she loved him fully.
But somehow, her thoughts turned against her, and she was once again dumbfounded, Aoshi was back, after such a long wait, her heart was jumping up and down to see him again, but as the reality had got into her, she already had somebody, someone she truly cares about, and truly cares for her too.
But somehow, things were just difficult for her, she swore to herself, she promised her self, she was united, both her minds and heart agree on loving only one person, but when Aoshi returned, things were just getting stranger by time.
She drifted far far away inside her own thoughts, the memory of the summer night, and everything else, and the shadow of the sword-wielding Soujirou flashed back in her mind.
Misao sighed at the thought of him.
A sudden knock came on her door.
"Come in…" She said heavy-heartedly.
"Oh geeze and I was in the middle of my daydream", she thought, frowning, "I wonder where he is now…"
Omasu's head popped out the sliding door.
"Oy Misao!" She said.
But Misao kept continuing her day dream, not even paying a slightest attention to Omasu's several calls.
"Earth calling Misao…" Omasu said, annoyed, waving her hand in front of Misao's dreamy face.
"What?" Misao said, "Humph… And I was so solemnly, I mean, happily dreaming…"
Omasu shook her head, "It's not like he's coming back anytime soon…"
"He will", Misao shot up from her position," He will because he promised me!"
"Oh geeze, fine, whatever you say then…" Omasu raised up her hand in defeat.
Misao pouted.
"Come on Weasel girl, dinner's served; you won't want to keep Aoshi-sama waiting do you?" Omasu smirked.
Misao's POV
Oh yeah, I forgot about that, Aoshi-sama is back, to Aoiya, to my life.
I don't believe all this, I'm inside another mess which I have no solution to…
Aw shit, where's Soujirou when I need him?
End of POV
Misao's face turned into a sad expression and Omasu nodded, understanding what she means.
"Fine, now that you have that smiling weirdo, then Aoshi's way out of your mind right, fine…" Omasu said, and then she added,"Come on; everyone's waiting for you…"
And with that, she left for the dining room, leaving Misao behind.
Misao's POV
She's wrong…
He's still part of me…
As what I don't know, but he's surely ripping me out of reality, and he's kind of distracting…
I wished he came before, to take it, now when I found Mr. Perfect, suddenly he just appeared again, acting like nothing has ever happened.
What is going on here?
Why is he back?
Why cant he just disappear again, I don't care…
Do I?
I love Soujirou, I swear with all my heart, but since Aoshi returned, I've been thinking nonsense again, he's too much memory, and I don't like that fact…
Cause now I only like him as a friend, leader and father…
Right?
End of POV
"Misao! HURRY UP WILL YOU!" A voice shrieked from the dining room, obviously Omasu, and waking Misao up from her thoughts.
Misao stood up and walked towards the door.
As she pushed it aside to open, she made up her mind, " I love only Soujirou, no one else and nothing more", she whispered grimly to herself.
But although she said that, everything inside her said what was against it, she's once again torn between two people very dear to her.
"But Aoshi's returned…", Misao thought.
"Argh… Stupid… Why should I even care, I'm happy now, and that's final…", she mentally slapped herself.
"But is it really final?", she asked herself, but the question remained unanswered.
She remained silent until the lunch was over, and after all, no one actually spoke a word either at lunch, so it fitted perfectly.
She sat alone, watching the blue sky slowly turn orange and the seagulls flying in packs through the air.
She was confounded by her own thoughts, battling her heart.
But suddenly she smiled brightly, silently thinking to ask Aoshi why he came back, and to get the answer to her question.
And to prove that she no longer loves him…
But will she get the courage she wants?
Misao stood up and walked across the corridor, looking for Aoshi, she was going to ask him, for sure…
