Recap of Last Chapter
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…
------------------------------------------------------o----------------------------------------------------
She walked on top of the wooden corridor for some time until she found Aoshi by the small pond, near the fountain.
"Hello Aoshi-sama", Misao greeted him cheerfully.
Aoshi smiled at Misao, "Why Misao, what are you doing here this late at night?"
"I wanted to ask you something Aoshi-sama…" Misao said with a rather stern look on her face.
"What would you like to ask me?" Aoshi said nicely.
Misao's POV
Since when has Aoshi-sama been this friendly, the Aoshi I know is a rather cold and strict person.
What happened to him?
How strange…
He wasn't like this before, I'm so sure…
End of POV
"I was just wondering where you've been…"
"I was in the forests, as I've told you…" Aoshi smiled.
"Did you like it there?" Misao asked.
"Yeah, it was so peaceful", Aoshi smiled again.
"Well, if you did, then why did you come back?" Misao asked curiously.
"Why? Don't you like the fact that I'm back?" Aoshi asked her, smiling.
"Not that… But…"
"Listen Misao, I'll tell you something", Aoshi said coldly.
Misao stiffened at the tone of his voice.
Never has she heard him as cold as this, as he is usually silent.
"You will stay away from the former Tenken; you will not go near anyone, but ME"
"How'd you know? What do you mean?" Misao asked in surprise.
"You'll see later Misao, good day…" Aoshi said smirking.
Misao's eyes followed Aoshi as he walked out of sight.
She gaped at what he had said.
'You will not go near anyone but me'
Misao thought about what he had said and thought she should pay a visit to Omasu.
-------------------------------------------Five Minutes Later------------------------------------------
Misao stood in front of Omasu's room, she knocked at the door.
"Come in", Omasu's voice sounded from inside.
Misao entered grimly.
"Oh, hello Misao", Omasu greeted her nervously.
"Talk to Aoshi much?" Misao said coldly.
"Why?", Omasu asked.
Misao kept silent.
"I mean about the Tenken, do you HAVE to tell?", Misao said, glaring at Omasu
"Misao-chan, what are you talking about?", Omasu asked.
"You know perfectly what I'm talking about…"
"I didn't… I didn't mean to", Omasu stammered.
"Whatever…", Misao said as she left the room.
----------------------------------Some where in the streets of Kyoto-------------------------------
Soujirou was walking down the streets, until he bumped to someone.
It was a little girl.
"Oh, I'm sorry", he said, holding out his hand to help her up.
"That's okay", she said.
"Oh, good, by the way, do you happen to know where the Oni-Wabanshu lives?", Soujirou asked, smiling.
The little girl chuckled, "Sure I do, they live in my neighborhood"
"Mind taking me there?", Soujirou asked her.
The girl nodded happily, "Why not? I was on my way home too"
"Great, shall we go?", Soujirou asked.
The girl nodded again.
They walked together until the reached a wooden building.
"That's their house", the girl said.
"Thanks", Soujirou smiled.
"No big", she said and ran off.
Soujirou's POV
I can't wait; it's been a year…
I can't wait to see her again, I wonder if she changed…
Misao-chan…
Will she remember me?
Here goes nothing…
I knocked on the door.
End of POV
Misao's POV
What the heck happened to Aoshi?
He seemed, no, he was WEIRD…
To mention the cold and silent Aoshi I used to know, and suddenly he's so EVIL…
I mean what he said to me was like something that I dreamt of hearing, a long long time ago…
Now that I have someone, he's suddenly…
I don't know, so strange…
So possessive…
I mean, I can't believe it, the other time he's silent, and I was crazy…
Now he's Mr. Evil emperor that wants to tell me what to do…
'You will not go near anyone but me', he said.
Who does he think he is?
'He thinks he's your former crush', my mind said.
True… but…
Suddenly I heard knocks on the door.
I stood up and walked to the door.
And I opened it.
