For a Favor

By Charmed Wolf

My Disclaimer is that I don't own Rurouri Kenshin, so they will stay with their respected creators while I borrow them. Really, DON'T SUE ME!!

Neither men wanted to stop Aoshi because of the other vampire, Saitou new that Aoshi was wanting to kill Orius for harming Misao. "Himura, I had no idea of how strong Shinomori can be when angry," Saitou said looking at Kenshin; both men never seen Aoshi fight for someone he so desperately cared about. Aoshi bared out his fangs in a hiss of pain, Orius thought he had found a way to beat Aoshi and yet he was wrong when Aoshi instantly healed himself.

"Orius can't block an attack from Aoshi in time, Battousai," Saitou said and Kenshin already knew that from the time before; Aoshi was getting ready to deal final blow when Orius made a sneaky blow on Aoshi. It was unfair with a wound to the shoulder, but Aoshi already had it won.

"No one should be able to kidnap my Misao, Orius," Aoshi said with a calm voice, Kenshin clearly had done the same thing before when Enishi had kidnapped Kaoru. Saitou went to Aoshi because the stummble that Aoshi had; both men knew something wasn't right when Aoshi started to pitch forward. "Shinomori, I think he had uses something else on you," Saitou said holding Aoshi by the waist to keep him steady, Kenshin saw the pieces of silver in his friend's shoulder starting to inflame the wound. It was cause Aoshi pain as it was touched and examined, Kenshin knew that Aoshi didn't want anyone to touch that shoulder as he was being cleaned out.

"Aoshi, you risked your life to save the one you care for, why?" Naila asked him looking into the icy blue pools, she saw the bandages on Aoshi's shoulder and knew the answer already.

All what Aoshi could think about now was how he saved Misao; once from a drunken man that matched Orius' discription from the vampire hunters. "Because I didn't want to lose her to another vampire for any reason, Naila," Aoshi said very calmly, he was thinking about Misao as she slept.

Flashback

Aoshi and Misao were heading home under the light of a full moon, Misao look up at Aoshi noticing not a flaw in the skin. "It's a beautiful night and not a cloud in the sky, Aoshi," Misao said with a smile on her lips, Aoshi couldn't but to agree with Misao. Somthing was amiss and both Aoshi and Misao felt it; there was a drunk man following them clumsily trying to for Misao. "Aww, come on now, i don't bite," the drunk man said reaching for Misao, but Aoshi was going to let this man take Misao away for any reason. There was a certain look in Aoshi's eyes as he made his way to Misao to get her back; the drunk man was in for a real surprise from Aoshi.

"No, but i do bite," Aoshi said glaring this man holding Misao, that drunk man started to laugh as if Aoshi had told a joke. Misao wanted to be in the ever strong arms of Aoshi again, Aoshi just wanted Misao back so they could go home. "He's not joking, he really is a vampire," Misao said calmly still trying to get loose, Aoshi wrapped his arm around Misao's waist and reaching the wrist with other hand. Misao held onto Aoshi's trench coat as he held onto her; it looked like Misao was glad to have Aoshi there with her at that night or something bad would have happen to her.

"It's okay now, Misao-hime," Aoshi said to the girl that was holding on to him, Misao looked up into Aoshi's soft icy blue eye and then laid her head back onto his chest smiling.

Aoshi and Misao finished their moonlit walk when they reached the Aoiya; Okina wondered what had happened to Misao. "Some drunk tried to take Misao, Okina," Aoshi said looking out at the garden, Okina knew Misao was lucky to have had Aoshi with her. Aoshi wondered why Misao always stuck with him despite him being a vampire; then it was because she cared about him a lot.

End of Flashback

"Misao-hime, do you want to go on a walk with me?" Aoshi asked offering her his hand in a kind gesture, Misao smiled taking Aoshi's hand standing up off the floor. Aoshi was planning to take her somewhere special; Misao saw it was the festival that Aoshi was taking her to.

"Aoshi, why the festival?" Misao asked quietly, Aoshi looked at her sincerely thinking of a good answer for Misao. He missed the bubbly laughing from Misao since becoming what he is, he was also afraid of hurting her physically. "I just missed hearing you laugh, Misao-hime," Aoshi said gently touching her cheek seeing her smile, she and Aoshi when on to the festival to have a good time.

There were thieves at this festival waiting to steal from the unsuspecting people having a good time; Misao wanted Aoshi to go do his thing what vampires do.

"Aoshi, you should feed for right now," Misao said looking up at Aoshi, he knew he already had fed for now. Aoshi knew he didn't want to hurt Misao physically, but now there was almost a time where Aoshi will have to leave again. "Aoshi, is there something wrong?" Misao asked looking up at Aoshi; she saw what she was dreading. She knew that Aoshi would have to leave again, Aoshi wasn't sure for how long would he have to be gone from his home and Misao.

"Misao-hime, let's just spend the time we have together," Aoshi said entering the festival with Misao, she was having a good time with Aoshi until he felt something being put into his sleeve.

After the festival, Misao was carried up to her room to lay down in her futon; Aoshi kissed her forehead before leaving her room. "Aoshi, with that look on your face, something has to be up now," Okina said walking into the same room where Aoshi was, who just looked up from the note he had gotten. Aoshi just motioned for Okina to come and sit with him; Okina just gladly accepted motion to go sit down. "Okina, yes, something did come up," Aoshi said showing Okina the note that was in the sleeve, Okina wondered what was the langugage was that the not was written in.

Aoshi knew it was ancient form of lagugage that was spoken along time ago; Okina handed the note back to Aoshi. "No one ever writes in this lagugage these days, Okina," Aoshi said looking how the note was written, Okina was puzzled at who had written the note for Aoshi.

The note was an ivitation to the Council of Vampires, Aoshi was thinking why would the Council be asking him to join when he's only flegedling. "To me, it just doesn't make sense.." Aoshi said in a sigh, Okina knew it was about time for Aoshi to leave the Aoiya. Aoshi didn't want to leave Misao in fear of making her cry or worry; he also had a week to make his answer to the invitation to the Council. "Aoshi, you can give them your answer now," Okina said looking into Aoshi icy blue eyes then looking away, Aoshi just shook his head as to say no to Okina.

He wanted to use the week to think a fitting answer for the invitation he was given, Misao would miss him if and when he leaves to go to council. "I will think it over before I answer for Misao's sake, Okina," Aoshi said getting up to go up to his room lay down before dawn came; it was a ritual he had gotten used to since becoming a vampire. Aoshi also had been used to sleeping a coffin as well as being used to going out to feed on those who commit crimes, he didn't want to have the vampire hunters to start coming after him for going after innocent people, like Makimachi Misao.

'I hate to make Misao cry if i go to the Council,' Aoshi thought to himself as he laid in his coffin as the sun rose in the sky; there was a benifit of going to the Council of Vampires.

Naila saw Aoshi in the evening sitting thinking of the possible answer to give to the invitation to the join the Council, but by the mid week, Aoshi was writing his answer for the messenger to pick up to take to the remaining Council members. "So they chose you to join the highest honor to a vampire to ever receive, Aoshi," Naila said picking up the message for the Council, Aoshi hoped he was making the right decision by joining the Council of the Vampires. Misao went to go talk with Aoshi before he went upstairs to relax; Aoshi only kissed her to keep from talking for the rest of the night. 'I never had a kiss like this,' Misao thought as she swooned into Aoshi's arms, she had placed her arms around Aoshi's neck as he lifted her up into his arms to carry her to her room.

Aoshi went to her room to lay her down in her futon; he kissed her once more on the lips going down her jawline with a very soft and very dilecate rose of the red passion. "I don't want to leave you, my Misao-hime," Aoshi said kissing her very jawline down to her neck, it was tomorrow night that Aoshi wasn't going to be at the Aoiya to be with the girl he helped to raise.

Evee-chan: I really don't mean to confuse you with scenes, it's suppose to lead up to Misao's kidnapping and to a fight between two vampires.
