'' Aoishi-sama's thoughts

Misao's thoughts

: Note at the end

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

What the hell is he talking about? What does he mean? thought a very confused Misao.

"Well?" asked Aoshi.

Misao swallowed hard then looked up into Aoshi's icy orbs.

"I'm sorry Aoshi-sama, but I really have no idea what you are talking about"

Aoshi sighed then looked at the confused girl. Gods she was so beautiful! He cleared his throat. He had to tell her about last night. Gods she was probably gunna have a fit about it to, well there is no helping it. Aoshi took a deep breath and got prepared to tell her.

"Last night I heard you scream so I went into your room to see what was wrong but you were asleep. As I was about to leave you said that you and I were to go on a journey as soon as possible." Said Aoshi flatly.

"I see" said Misao calmly. "Yes I remember that… only it was part of my dream…"

"So answer my question" Aoshi demanded.

'Wow she took that better than I thought… well that might be because I left out some things…'

"Well I think we should set out tomorrow then," said Misao as she collected the dishes and put them on the tray.

"Very well then. We should get an early start and leave at sunrise." Aoshi said as he helped Misao.

"Okay, sounds good to me," said Misao in a cheery voice.

Misao stood with the tray in her hand and walked out of the temple door. Aoshi stared after her. With his eyes locked on the temple door long after Misao had left, Aoshi did not see the small figure sneak up on him.

"Grawwwww! You will never escape from me! I will never let you go! You can never escape my wrath!" Screamed Yuuyake as she jumped onto a surprised Aoshi-sama's back.

"Oh no! What will I do! She's got me! She's got me!" yelled Aoshi as he pretended to be overcome by the little girl.

"Ha ha ha! You can never escape and now I shall slay you, you eviler-than-me monster!" Yuuyake screamed as she poked Aoshi in the chest with a twig that snapped upon impact against Aoshi's rock hard muscles.

"Oh no you killed me whatever shall I do!" said Aoshi in a weak voice as he collapsed on the temple floor.

Yuuyake giggled as she sat on his stomach still holding her broken twig.

"Well I know what you can do! You can take me with you and Shan! Since you are dead you will need someone to take care of you and I'm really good at taking care of dead Aoshis!" the tiny girl said excitedly.

"Yuuyake-chan you can't come because you are not old enough and I don't want you to get hurt. Besides, your mother would never allow you to come."

"But I'm really good at being good and I can take care of you and Shan, I promise! I'll be really, really good!" Yuuyake pleaded.

"I'm sorry but you just can't. It is not safe. Now go find Misao and help her make lunch."

"But I…!" she started to protest but Aoshi gave her "The Look" so she decided to go do as he said, but she would not give up without a fight. Aoshi watched the little girl run out of the temple and smiled.

'That Yuuyake, so full of life!' with that thought he walked into the woods surrounding the temple to practice.

: "What ever shall I do and where shall I go?

The rain falls on broken pillars

Watch the sun glow and the moon fade black

Wolf cry, stampede through snow

Follow the sound of the empty sky

Crumbled statues will be your guide

Straw men, hollow scream, a covered sack

Half circled, the water is dry

The stars will fall to the center of your life

Silver, green, green, measure the scales

Watch the blue ice start to crack

The end cut, strike, deep, slice, knife"

Sang Misao in a soft voice.

Oh mother, I wish you were still here with me, to guide me, and to wipe away my tears… As these thoughts went through Misao's head a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Why can't you be here now?" Yelled Misao out loud.

As soon as the question fell from Misao's lips she was thrown back against a tree by a strong wind. At the moment when Misao hit the tree she fell unconscious upon the forest floor.

"Misao, Misao, I never left you… but you have left me… however, I shall guide you on this journey that you must take. All you must do is fallow the Black wolf, you must trust her."

After the voice stopped speaking Misao regained consciousness. However she was standing strait up in the center of the path that she had been using and the tray was still in her hand.

Well that was weird thought Misao.

As she continued to walk down the path towards home she caught a glimpse of something black moving quickly through the woods, but she thought nothing of it for there were many shadows in the forest. Little did she know that this shadow was watching her closely.

" Soon, Shan, soon you will see," growled a soft yet strangely familiar voice.
