Hello again :) I am sorry for not updating, this next chapter will be the boring one, well you can say like that. Soujiro and Misao won't be together. I've been thinking a lot on what to do about it, this is the part of the story when Misao meets Kenshin, so if you read or saw the manga/anime of Rurouni Kenshin, you should know what's next. I promise I'll try to make this chapter brief. For those who know what happened, you can skip this part, but I recommend you to read it. Thank you :D
Disclaimer: Anythig related to the anime or manga "Rurouni Kenshin" belongs to Nobuhiro Watsuki.
He hugged her for a long time and said "I am sorry Miss Misao, I swear it is not you, it is me"
She looked at him and raised an eyebrow "How original" It was no time to be funny, but she had to say it.
"I know, but it is true" he laughed and gave her the last smile he thought he was giving her…he was wrong. "Goodbye"
"Take care" She said and cleaned her tears, but it did no good when Soujiro took his arms around her and walked away. It was so painful, she started crying again and he knew it but he didn't want to look back. Misao was in the past, he had to move on.
Misao stood paralyzed for a few minutes, but she then woke up when she tried to remember all that had happened. He was gone and he was not coming back. She had to get over him. 'So it's all like the beginning now, isn't it?' she was thinking as she began walking 'I still have his money, Oh I feel miserable, I don't want it!' she cried and threw the bag full of money to the floor.
It was painful, but as the days went by she began to get over it. She realized it was a fling; she had fallen for him in only 8 days! And so…she kept moving her way to Tokyo and began thinking that she was going to see Lord Aoshi! And he was for sure not a fling. The first day walking was boring, and she starved to death.
'I need money, so I am back in the old days'she laughed at her thoughts, her life was becoming normal again. She was happy but sad at the same time, and she knew why. She missed him; he made her life different and gave it a spark. It just felt better to be around him than alone.

As for Soujiro, well he didn't have time to think about this 'fling'…As he had decided before, he was following her every step, wishing that she would be helpful to him to find Aoshi. It wasn't a problem to him at all, he enjoyed seeing her because she had become his only friend, but he didn't look at her in any other way.
He had been following her silently for three days already but Aoshi was nowhere to be found. He was considering giving up and looking for him by himself, but he was enjoying spying on her. She was very funny, the way she robbed people. It was actually hilarious. She used her 'sexy voice' (at least she thought it was) to lure thieves and she then took their money away from them.
The fourth day he decided to go on his own and it actually worked because a few hours later Aoshi was standing in front of him after he defeated the four nyudos of abukuma.
NOTE: This is the chapter where Aoshi meets Soujiro.
Soujiro asks him to join Shishio, but he denies.

Misao kept walking and walking, she had been stealing to survive. It was the fifth day since Soujiro had left her and she had got lost. She was now in a town, fortunately for her she was not in the woods. It was dark and she put on her favorite cloak and got ready to rob some other men.
NOTE: This is the part where Misao meets Kenshin. She discovers he knows something about Aoshi and decides to follow him. They walk together for days and he refuses to tell her anything about the Oniwaban group.
They keep walking until they come across an abandoned village, you know the one where the boy's parents were killed together with his brother. They then meet Saitou and this is where it gets interesting :)
Sorry for making this chapter so short, but I promise next one will be an interesting one :)
