Aoshi looked up at the door in front of him as he was about to open it but the door opened first as Aoshi saw that it was Okan coming out off the room. "What do you think your doing?" Okan demanded as Aoshi stared at her, "I was about to apologize to Misao for scaring her," he said as Okan glared at him.

"She's been crying herself ever since she left the dinner table. I doubt she wants you in there right now," she said. "Okan, look," he began but the woman began to chuckle, "I'm joking. You can go in there but don't scare her again," Okan said with a smile as Aoshi shook his head and Okan left to go downstairs.

"Misao?" Aoshi asked softly as he knocked on the door gently as he opened it, he looked inside and saw Misao face down on her bed as she didn't looked up to see him. "What is it that you want?" Misao mumbled as Aoshi saw the Kimono on a chair as Misao was wearing her usual uniform for the Oniwaban group as she layed.

Aoshi sighed as he sat beside her, Misao just layed there even though she knew Aoshi was sitting beside her. "I know what you've been doing to me tonight," Aoshi began as Misao growled, "don't you think I know that? Okan told me just awhile ago before you came," she said as Aoshi looked at her petite form.

"I-I don't know these new feelings that are coming to me Misao. It's a whole new world ever since I hurt you four years ago," Aoshi said slowly as Misao sat up and looked at him. "You weren't you back then Aoshi. It was a monster instead who wanted to kill my grandfather for revenge for the other four," Misao said quietly.

"I miss them," Aoshi murmured looking down as Misao nodded, "I do too. But we have each other and the other members as well. You've changed a lot Aoshi," Misao commented as she blushed slightly. Aoshi smiled at her innocent, "Misao, do you mind the waiting? I'm sure, somewhere in the years, I will return your feelings back for you."

Misao began to tremble slightly, "how long though?" She asked quietly as Aoshi shook his head. "I don't know. I might be an old man by then knowing the way you've felt for me," he mumbled as Misao began to sob, "Misao, I promise you. It will be within me quicker by then. Just hold on," Aoshi said as he hugged her tightly.

Misao stopped crying as the two hugged one another, comforting.

"Hey, you guys want to watch a play with us?" Omasu asked as she, Okan, Shiro and Kuro were sitting together on the floor as the group looked up to see Aoshi and Misao coming down later that night. "What kind of play?" Misao asked interested as Aoshi was looking around for Okina, "he went to bed," Shiro said as Aoshi nodded slowly.

Misao sat beside the two ladies as Aoshi sat beside the guys, "it's a rormance sort of play. These two guys are trying to win this lady's heart and she chose the one unexpectedly surprising," Okan said as Misao looked at Aoshi. "We all do need a break from being ninja's. Does everyone have a ticket?"

"Yea. We bought two extra's just in case you two wanted to come along," Okan said. "So now, you two have to pay us equal to the price!" Omasu said as Misao groaned, "unless your 'man' can do the paying," Okan said snickering as Misao glared at her. Aoshi shook his head slightly, "I'll pay for the tickets. Don't worry about it," he said as Misao stared at him for a moment as Aoshi went to go and get his money from his room.

"Generous!" Omasu said chuckling as Misao groaned, "at least it's working for you and Aoshi now," Shiro said as Misao blinked. "You set this up?" She asked as everyone nodded, "yes. But all of us are actually going to the play tomorrow night!" Okan squealed. "Shush! Okina's sleeping and we don't want to wake him up," Kuro warned.

Okan laughed nervously, "I love you guys!" Misao said excitedly as everyone snickered. Everyone became silent as Aoshi returned with the money in his hand, "here," he said as he handed it to Okan. "Thank you for your time," she said smirking as Aoshi stared at her for a moment before realizing everyone was staring at him.

Aoshi blinked as he turn around and up the stairs again, "well, hopefully this will work out for you Misao," Omasu said as Misao nodded. "Just respect Aoshi's wishes and hopefully he'll make the move on you since he still needs time about his feelings though," Shiro said as Misao nodded again, she smiled at the thought of them being together at the play.
