So finally a conclusion to my first story! I hope you all like it! Please leave comments. Will begin the Karou/Kenshin POV when I am able to. :)
Chapter 2: One Year later
One year. That's what it will be since Aoshi came into her life. Misao could hardly contain the happiness in her smile. So much had happened in that one year, that Misao could hardly believe it. She wasn't a stripper anymore and that was solely because of her beloved Aoshi.
The next day after that first night together, Misao woke up to a whole new life. Aoshi had spent all of the next day with her, treating her to breakfast, walking around her neighborhood; he even took her to his apartment. After that, they became inseparable. Aoshi gave her more love and comfort than any man alive.
Before long, she and Aoshi were seeing each other every night and even going to his cousin, Megumi's wedding to his business partner, Sano. Karou and Kenshin had begun a relationship as well, which allowed all of them to hang out at together at the wedding. They had all become a great little family and it was Aoshi who had become a part of Misao's life in a big way.
"Misao, do you have those prints?" Misao snapped out of her daze to see her new boss Tae walk over to her with a smile on her face. Misao smiled back. She had grown to love the woman she worked for and Tae was equally impressed with Misao's work. They did a lot of photography for advertisements and billboards which was so fun to Misao, but it also gave her great connections in the art world which allowed her to have multiple showings of her work; she even sold a few pieces. "You, here you go Tae, that's the last of the day's work for me. I need to get running."
Tae smiled knowing full well what she was busy tonight doing, "Meeting your beloved Aoshi tonight?"
"Of course," Misao said with a slight bounce in her answer. "Tonight's our anniversary and I have a great big surprise for Aoshi." Giving Tae a quick hug, Misao ran out the door, not hearing Tae muttered comment, "Not as big as the surprise her has for you!" She smiled.
Aoshi was running late and he hated that, but there was honestly nothing he could do about New York City traffic. "Of all the nights to be late I had to be late tonight." Aoshi groaned.
Flipping through his phone, he began scrolling through pictures of him and Misao. Hard to believe it's been a year! He thought with a smile. A year ago, he had been a work-obsessed introvert who's idea of fun was long hours of training. A year later, his life had meaning and purpose and that was all because of Misao. Just thinking of her made him smile.
Their past year together had been an intense one filled with fun, love and passion. He loved every part of her and she was never far from his thoughts. She had fit his life perfectly. The first morning waking up with her in his arms, he had just stared at her, knowing that she was the one he was waiting for. Since then they were inseparable and their relationship quickly progressed. His friend Tae had loved Misao as he said she would and offered Misao a job on the spot, making it so she would never have to strip again. Although her former boss did try to lure her back. Enishi. The very thought of the man had made him full of rage. He had tried to press charges against Aoshi after their confrontation the night he met Misao and also tried to sue Misao for breaking her contract, but once Aoshi and Kenshin had mentioned to him their occupation and that they would be filing an injunction against the club for worker abuse, Enishi had shut down his club and disappeared, never to bother Misao or Karou ever again.
Ring. Ring. Aoshi's thoughts interrupted by an incoming call on his cell. Smirking at the name on the caller id, Aoshi answered.
"Yes, Himura."
"Hey Aoshi, I am just calling to wish you luck tonight," his red haired friend said over his phone.
"Thanks. I don't think she'll refuse but I'm still nervous you know? Never did this before."
Kenshin chuckled. "Well you better not back out of this. I never keep anything from Karou and this past month has been the toughest trying to keep your secret."
Aoshi rolled his eyes. Getting to know Karou as well as Misao this past year, Aoshi found out just how close the two girls were. They still call each other at night still to say good night to each other, even though Karou was now living with Kenshin and Misao now lived with Aoshi. So it was a no brainer after telling Kenshin what his surprise for Misao was that he swear to not tell Karou about it, lest she slip and tell Misao.
"I'm not backing out. I'm excited. She's the one." Aoshi paused. "Think you'll follow suit soon with Karou?"
Kenshin laughed nervously. "Shhh, she's in the next room getting dressed man! But yes, I've started researching rings, but nothing concrete. Just remember I kept your secret when I do. But listen, I gotta go. Tonight's Karou's big opening, so I have to finish getting ready."
After saying their good byes and wishing Karou luck, Aoshi hung up.
He sent a text to Misao telling her he would be there in 10 minutes. He felt for her gift in his pocket and smiled. Tonight would be a night she wouldn't forget.
Misao was glad Aoshi was a little late, because she was so behind. She was just finishing up her make up when she heard his key in the lock. "Misao?" she heard him call out. She smiled as her heart started to flutter. "Be right there!" She was nervous, she had spent all night getting her anniversary surprise ready and she hoped he would like it.
Checking herself over in the mirror she made her way from their spacious gorgeous bedroom to their living room. She had been living with Aoshi for five months and she still couldn't get over that this was her home. A beautiful condo in Manhattan, complete with a doorman and housekeeping and a view of the city that was too die for. The best part though was waking up to Aoshi every morning and coming home to him at night.
Walking into the living, he had his back to her. "Ahem," she said to get his attention as she struck a sexy pose in the doorway. Aoshi's jaw dropped.
Aoshi couldn't believe the vison before him. "Wow!"
Misao giggled and started to move but he stopped her and instead pulled out his phone a started taking pictures. She was stunning. Her hair was down and pooled down her back. She wore light make up, but really focused on her eyes with a smokey blue eye shadow. She was in a leopard print mini dress that left very little to the imagination and hugged every curve and she wore very high and very sexy black stilettos that must of given her a good 3 inches. Aoshi was so hard, it hurt, but he had to fight to urge to take her right then and now, because he had more pressing issues tonight.
Misao giggled. "Stop with the pictures already. I'm not a model."
"Tonight you're more gorgeous than any model," said Aoshi in a voice laced with lust as her bent down to greet her with a passionate kiss. The effects of her dress on him was not lost on her as she felt his enlarged cock against her. She shuttered.
"Happy Anniversary my love," he said taking her hand.
"Happy Anniversary Aoshi-sama. What are we doing tonight, because I got a big surprise for you when we get back tonight."
Aoshi shuttered and smirked at the dirty thoughts in his head. "I have a great big surprise for you too, so lets get going."
Grabbing her purse, Aoshi placed a hand on the small of her back and lead her to the elevator. Misao wrapped her arms around his waist, but noticed that Aoshi had pressed the arrow to go up, not down. She looked at him with confusion, "The roof?"
Aoshi didn't say anything, but then covered her eyes with his hand and guided her out of the elevator. Misao felt a warm gentle wind hit her face and felt Aoshi stand behind her with a hand wrapped around her waist. "Ok, Misao-mine," he removed his hand from her eyes. "I love you! Happy Anniversary."
Misao gasped at what she saw. A beautiful table for two was set and lit candles surrounded them. Rose petals led the way to two large bouquets and a small ipod was plugged into a speaker playing romantic string music. Tears weld up in her eyes as she walked over to the table where a little card was placed at her setting.
Misao picked it up and opened it and read it.
Misao-mine:
You are the love of my life! You have made my life worth living again.
There will be never anyone for but you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life.
Please turn around love.
Love Aoshi
Misao turned around and gasped. Aoshi was on one knee holding a little velvet box.
"Misao," Aoshi whispered as he saw tears begin to fall down her face. "You are everything to me. I love you. Will you marry me?"
Aoshi opened the box to present a platinum square cut chocolate diamond ring surrounded by light blue sapphire emeralds. Misao responded by tackling Aoshi with a deeply passionate and power kiss that knocked him flat on his back. Aoshi instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist and nudged her mouth open to insert his tongue deepening the kiss. When they came up for arm, Aoshi was seeing stars. This woman has no idea what she does to me.
Aoshi chuckled, " can I assume that is a yes?"
"Oh, Aoshi-sama, yes, yes, yes!"
Misao sat back on her knees as Aoshi rose to his placing the ring on her fingers.
"I love you!"
She smiled back at him, "I love you too!" Nothing sounded more beautiful to him that that.
An hour later, after champagne, dancing and making love on the roof, Misao kissed her new fiancé lighty and lead him back to the elevator. "Now it's my turn to surprise you my love!" Misao smirked as Aoshi raised his eyebrow.
Getting back to their apartment, Misao paused and tied a blindfold around Aoshi's eyes. "Hold tight, Aoshi-sama, I'll be right back." With that Misao pecked him on lips and went into the bedroom.
About five minutes later, Misao told Aoshi to remove his blindfold and watched with glee as his jaw dropped again.
Gone was the tight dress from before, in its place was now a black corset, thigh highs and stilettos. They were in the dojo Aoshi had made in their apartment to work out together. Behind Misao was a stripper pole and the iPod and speakers from the roof. Misao had a very sexy, mischievous look on her face, which made Aoshi hard again. "Misao! What is all this?"
Misao chuckled and sauntered over sexily to sit on Aoshi's lap. "Well, one year ago today, a very sexy lawyer met me at a strip club, but alas he never got to see me dance or get a lap dance. So," Misao jumped up and hit the iPod. "You Shook me all night long," came blaring out of the speakers and Misao handing Aoshi a wad of singles. "I'm pretty sure you deserve a dance, Aoshi-sama."
With that Misao began to twist and turn on the pole, while Aoshi sat there in sheer bliss whistling at his fiancé and throwing singles at her. When it came time for the lap dance, Misao changed the music to Motley Crue's "Girls Girls Girls" and started rubbing and gyrating on Aoshi's lap; teasing him by kissing his neck.
Aoshi was going mad. He was so hard that if he didn't touch her soon he would explode. When Misao started rubbing her ass on his cock, Aoshi broke and grabbed Misao around the waist. Grabbing a practice mat from the side, Aoshi quickly put Misao down and began relieving her of her garments. When he was finally able to free her, he attacked her breast hungrily, licking, sucking and nipping her nipples with need. Misao let out a moan and racked her finger nails down his back. Aoshi peeled himself away from her and removed his clothing. Aoshi laid on the mat pulling Misao on top of him. After some kissing and heavy petting, Aoshi positioned Misao above him and thrusted up, filling her. Misao began rocking with need and arousal while Aoshi rubbed her clit. When Misao let out a moan, Aoshi sat up and began thrusting into her faster and harder. He felt her tighten around him as his testicles tightened. "Misao," he moaned. "Come with me beautiful." That was all the encouragement Misao needed as she screamed out "Aoshi-sama" and slammed into him as he spilled into her with one final thrust.
They stayed like that for what felt like an eternity, until Aoshi wrapped his arm protectively around Misao and carried her to their bed. Placing a kiss atop her head, they whispered their "I love you's" as sleep took them quickly.
The next morning Misao was already up, when Aoshi awoken, greeting him with a smile.
"Good Morning Aoshi-sama"
Aoshi smirked and kissed her hard on the mouth, "Good Morning my beautiful fiancé!"
Misao smiled wider. Fiancé, she really liked the sound of that.
"Last night was a dream love," he said pulling her closer to him. "I think you should put on a show for me more often."
Misao chuckled, "I thought you weren't a strip club kind of guy?"
Aoshi kissed her forehead, "Well, I would be a frequent customer, if I got to come home every night to me beautiful wife –to-be putting on a show for me and only me."
Misao smiled. They laid there for a few moments, before Misao spoke up. "Aoshi-sama, there was another gift I had for you, but we never made it past the first one, can I give it to you now?"
Aoshi nodded and released Misao from his grab as she handed him a small box. Openning it, Misao saw Aoshi's eyes get wide as he pulled out the two items. A positive pregnancy test and a sonogram picture.
"How long have you know?" he asked with a happy smirk on his face.
"About 2 weeks. I would have told you sooner, but I wanted to surprise you for our anniversary." Misao bit her lip, not sure of what his reaction would be. They had just gotten engaged. They just celebrated a year together, would he be happy?
Lost in her thoughts, Misao was suddenly drawn back to reality with Aoshi suddenly pouncing on her kissing her like mad. When they came up for air, Aoshi leaned his forehead against her own. "Thank you Misao!" Misao's face lit up as he continued. "Thank you so much. This is by far the greatest gift you could give me. You are my heart and my life and now you are the mother of my child. I love you Misao-mine."
"I love you too Aoshi-sama. Everything I am is yours. My heart, my mind, my body." And with that Misao sealed their future with a kiss that made her tremble. No matter what life threw at them, her and Aoshi would always be together and always with love!
