For a Favor

By Charmed Wolf

So, my disclaimer still stands as this fanfiction is being written, I do not own the cast of Rurouni Kenshin and that's including Shinomori Aoshi of the Oniwabanshu. They will remain with their respected creators, so PLEASE DON'T SUE ME!!

Misao snuggled into Aoshi's scarred chest falling as sleep as the dawn sun rose in the eastern sky; Aoshi placed his arms around Misao being very protective of her and really in love with her. 'This is the first time I have been in the same futon with Aoshi,' Misao happily thought sleeping in Aoshi's ever protective and ever strong arms, she knew she had to get up to let Aoshi sleep for the day. She quietly got dressed for the day's customers; as the door was shut quietly, that was when Aoshi started to having a terrible nightmare of his past. "I just wish there was something I could do to help Aoshi to calm down," Misao said worried about Aoshi, Kaoru wanted to help Misao out as much as possible.

Quickly as the nightmare started was as quickly as the nightmare ended; Kenshin came to the door and saw a young police officer there. "Aoshi, there is someone here for you to see," Kenshin said as Aoshi walked down the stairs to the door, the young police officer had some terrible news for Aoshi's ears. So they sat in Aoshi's office to her the news, Aoshi tried to remain calm through the news. "One man just can't escape just like that," Aoshi said trying to keep the calm voice, this was the last thing Aoshi really needed at that moment was Takeda Kanryu escaping from prison.

Evening came as Aoshi was starting to get dressed for a night of feeding, he really didn't want to make Misao worry about him. "Misao-hime, I really don't want to make you worry," Aoshi said before kissing her on the lips, Misao wanted Aoshi to be there so they could marry soon.

Aoshi had noticed that people were thinking that Misao was crazy for being in love with a vampire, but that was a night ago when he returned from meeting with the council. "But still, Aoshi, I don't want you to go alone," Misao said looking into Aoshi's beautiful icy blue eyes; she saw that Aoshi was tired of having the nightmares. Aoshi once told Misao that she was the one that kept him calm during this storm, which made her smile and then snuggle close into Aoshi's scarred chest.

"I asked Himura and Sagara to come with tonight, so I won't be alone, my princess," Aoshi said kissing before he got ready to leave to go feed, that put her a little at ease about Aoshi being out at night. Kenshin and Sanosuke both didn't know what was going to happen. Aoshi walked over to a girl he once knew to gather some information, once that was finished, Aoshi saw the familiar figure he wanted to avoid. "Well, well, if it isn't the Okashira," Kanryu hissed at Aoshi, he didn't say anything to the man before him. Sanosuke and Kenshin appeared behind Aoshi to support him; Aoshi was going to reach for his kodachi when he noticed the small incendiary device in the pocket. "You ruined me!" came the shout before the explosion, Aoshi and Kenshin went back to the Aoiya while Sanosuke went to tell the police station. Misao was very protective of Aoshi, and boy did Aoshi know it.

"Aoshi! What had happened to you?!" Misao asked hysterically looking at Aoshi; he had Megumi looking at Aoshi's eyes. And his eyes were fine; they just had dust kicked up from the incendiary device. "Come Aoshi, I can let you have a bath," Misao said gently, Aoshi had a small genuine smile knowing that he's glad that he has a young woman like Misao around. He knew that Misao would always care as she began to take Aoshi's soiled clothes off; Aoshi had let her to wash his hair and his body. "Misao, I love this so much," Aoshi said as Misao started to let the soap run down his well muscled body, he groaned with relief as Misao let him to soak. Then she took a quick bath and soaked with her Aoshi-sama, Aoshi had let her snuggle into his side.

"Aoshi-sama, much too tense," Misao said as she tried to get Aoshi to relax, then it hit her as she laid with Aoshi on their futon. She really didn't want Aoshi to experience another nightmare; of course, Aoshi really didn't want to make Misao to worry even more than what she already was.

"Aoshi-sama, are you comfortable?" Misao asked as she gently rubbed his shoulders, he laid his head into her shoulders and kissed her neck. The kisses made Misao smile and giggle until he fell asleep, Misao rested her head on his chest. "I guess this would be a good time to let Aoshi and Misao-dono sleep," Kenshin said noticing that neither Aoshi nor Misao was coming downstairs, which that was fine and they needed that rest. Kenshin didn't want Aoshi to lose anymore sleep, then again, he knew that Takeda Kanryu needed to be stopped at all costs.

"Is Shinomori asleep right now, Battousai?" Saitou asked Kenshin quietly, he already knew that Aoshi was asleep. Misao had come downstairs as she was letting Aoshi sleep; she really wasn't all that tired at all. "Misao-chan, I thought you'd be sleeping with Aoshi," Kaoru said quietly to be respectful to Aoshi's rest, everyone in the room new it was true that Aoshi drank blood.

Sanosuke wondered when Aoshi will be awake; it was only an hour into dawn as into the day itself. "Sanosuke, Aoshi will be up later in the evening, that he will," Kenshin said with Misao agreeing, it was a stated fact and everyone knew that Aoshi was a vampire.

Aoshi knew he had never attacked someone so innocent, as innocent as his Misao can be.

"Kaoru-chan, can you go make sure Aoshi-sama is doing alright?" Misao asked gently as the sun started to set, so now Aoshi had to be up getting dressed for the night. Kaoru got up to the room to knock on the door, but there was a clash of metal against metal, Aoshi was locked in a fight with an unknown attacker. "Aoshi-sama!!" Misao was at the bedroom door watching Aoshi fight for his own life as Misao scream, he knocked the attacker and went to Misao side going comfort her to let Megumi treat Misao's wound. He was afraid that this was his fault that his bride got hurt, but Misao kept her smile on her lips as she smiled at her groom saying it was just a scratch and not to worry.

"Hardly, Misao-chan, you had a kunai embedded into your arm," Aoshi gently said to his pouting bride, but as soon as Aoshi said that, she smiled at her love of her life.

Megumi looked at Misao's arm as Misao sat in Aoshi's lap; the wound was stitched up and cleaned up. "There, it's all done, Misao-chan" Megumi said after she bandaged the wound, Misao knew Aoshi that Aoshi was starting to get hungry. Misao asked if she could go on a walk with her groom, it was just so he could feed for the night without any interruptions.

"Misao, I'm just glad that you're here with me," Aoshi said as they walked down the street hand in hand, Aoshi's hand was warm after he had fed for that night. There was no sign of Takeda Kanryu, to Aoshi, that was good since he didn't want to face Takeda again. "Aoshi-sama, let's head home," Misao said smiling getting a bit sleepy, so Aoshi pick Misao up and sat her onto his shoulder.

It made her giggle as they got home; it was going to a wonder to what will happen the next day or the days after. "I'm going to let you rest, Misao-hime," Aoshi said carried Misao up to their room to lay her down, Misao smiled as Aoshi kissed her good night. He knew that he will be back upstairs once the sun rose, now there was going to be problem all vampires faced. "I don't have the time to face vampire hunters, Himura," Aoshi stated as he started for his office to sit and work, it was the truth, Aoshi really didn't have that time to face vampire hunters. Not on top of the biggest concern now, Takeda Kanryu was top priority in the list of what to get rid of.

"Hey, Aoshi, it's nearly dawn," Sanosuke said as he saw Aoshi stand up, Aoshi already knew it was nearly dawn as he was picking up the office. Kenshin saw that Aoshi was going upstairs to go to bed; it was that night that Takeda was going to make a fatal mistake by messing with him as he kidnapped Misao. "Aoshi, Misao-dono is missing," Kenshin said as Aoshi was getting dressed in some clean clothes, it was on Takeda's life now as Misao was Aoshi's bride. Saitou knew Aoshi was going to go get Misao back, it was proven that Aoshi really cared about Misao and didn't want anything to harm his precious Misao-chan. "Himura, I really want your help," Aoshi said trusting Kenshin to help him, Sanosuke stayed to wait for Kenshin and Aoshi to come back with Misao.

Aoshi left with Kenshin to find Misao and Takeda Kanryu, they had until dawn to find Misao and Takeda. "Do you have any idea of where she could be, Aoshi?" Kenshin asked as Aoshi leapt up to the roof to listen and look for Misao, and then there it was, a scream from Misao in the direction of the abandoned temple like the last time. Together, Kenshin and Aoshi raced to the abandoned temple as fast as they could, Aoshi was faster than what he used to be before be coming a vampire.

"Misao-dono, we're here, that we are!" Kenshin said as he let Aoshi to go find Takeda to get rid of the menace once and for all, Kenshin freed Misao as Aoshi looked for Takeda searing mad.

Takeda was laughing as Aoshi was approaching with the kodachi being drawn, Aoshi not only had his swords drawn, and he had his fangs bared still with intent to kill. "Well, well, if it isn't Shinomori, back for more," Takeda said as he laughed on holiday, Aoshi getting more furious by the second. Of course, Aoshi didn't want Misao to see him this way, to protect her from himself.

"Takeda, I will rip you apart for what you did!" Aoshi exclaimed as black wings appeared out of nowhere on Aoshi's back, no one was going to believe this even if they seen it. Kenshin hide with Misao watching the fight take place, Aoshi was stronger of the two fighters, being a vampire. "You rip me apart?" Takeda laughed as Aoshi readied himself to attack, Takeda made his move slowly as to confuse Aoshi. But it didn't work as Aoshi made his attack, Aoshi spun around with his kodachi aiming for Takeda's chest. "Himura, is Aoshi-sama going to be fine?" Misao quietly asked Kenshin as she started to shake, tears started to fall from her eyes as she started to cry.

This fight was far from over between Takeda Kanryu and Shinomori Aoshi, knowing Aoshi as Kenshin did, Aoshi had the determination to kill Takeda Kanryu.
