And here's the second to last chapter. It's short, but just kind of sets you up for the last chapter. Let me know what you think. Again, not sure how I feel about the direction, but looking to know what you, the readers, think. Enjoy! And please review!
Three Weeks Later:
She opened the door with her new set of keys and stepped inside the door. Tossing her keys down on the table inside the door and hanging her coat up, Misao moved towards the living room. Sitting down on the couch beside Aoshi, who was reading the newspaper, she curled up beside him with her head laying on his shoulder.
Aoshi placed a kiss on the top of her head before returning to his paper. Misao rested as Aoshi finished up the last few pages of the paper. He set it off to the side once he completed reading it and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. "How did everything go?"
"As well as I'd expected. We were doing alright at first. They both apologized for treating me as they did and we talked about it a little. Then, Megumi got upset for some reason over it all and started in on how it was my fault anyway. Kaoru just got caught in the middle; she didn't know who to side with. Megumi ended up leaving because Kaoru wasn't siding with her. Kaoru and I talked for a bit afterwards and we're okay now. I just don't know what to do about Megumi."
"I'm sorry. Surely it will all work out."
"She'll come around eventually. She always did before anyway. She came in later on, after Kaoru and I had been friends for a while. After she showed up, problems like these started," Misao pointed out.
"Maybe it's for the best then?" Aoshi commented.
"It might be, but Sano and Kenshin were friends with Kaoru and me first. Sano's with Megumi and I think he'd choose her over me if pushed," Misao told him.
"Mmm…"
"It'll all work out somehow, I guess."
"It will. Have patience."
