You know, I was going to kill off Tomoe at first, but since everyone is foaming at the mouth to see
that, I’m going to do something different. (MWA HAHA) For the sake of sanity, she is married to
Kenshin. Without her, there would be absolutely no plot to this story. It would just be a one-shot
PWP, a don don’t do those. So, just sit tight and role with this little mini-story. I think y’all will
like it. ^_^
Chapter 13
Aoshi and Misao...Sitting in a Tree
With all the fury of the night before, morning surrendered to massive thunderstorms that brought
torrents of rain and lightning to wake the city. The winds blew furiously, so those with older homes
heard the whistling of air being forced threw the tiniest of cracks and seeps. The air, though damp,
was steaming. If the raindrops didn’t drench you, the humidity did. It was just one of those days
where you wanted to just stay inside and let the world continue on without yYes,Yes, that’s the kind
of day it was, and that is what Misao found herself doing. Lucky for her, she found a cute little
apartment that had a balcony, which she converted into a small Japanese sanctuary. Bamboo plants
of all sizes lined the eight-by-eight space, those closest to the banister being drenched with rain. The
small Koi pond had to be moved closer to the double sliding doors, which had been fashioned to
look like traditional screening. The bonsai trees simply stood their ground, looking as proud and
majestic as always, tiny beauties whose presence was larger than sequoias. Misao was out on the
porch, lounging on the granite bench covered with fine, yet durable silk pillows before the wind
moved the rain under the canopy. Now, she just gazed out from the open screen, lookat tat the storm
before her. The sky had turned a peculiar shade of green…the shade of green that meant an even
fiercer storm was brewing just beyond the horizon.
Misao sighed and closed the screens. No school today. No work, just her and her kitten Kopu…and
the storm. A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky that was now as dark as night, sending little
Kopu scrambling behind the couch. Misao chuckled and moved to her hands and knees to coax the
chubby calico kitty from her hiding spot. The beautiful creature trembled, but trusted her hand-maiden enough to creep closer to her before another booming strike caused Kopu to leap into her
arms.
“Aww, my poor baby,” Misao cooed, trying to calm the frightened kitten. She glided the tips of her
fingers across the soft, fluffy fur of the kitty’s neck, turning her trembles of fear into the vibrations of
purring. Misao smiled and continues to stoke her owner and the sound of torrential rain grew.
Ding Dong
The chime of her doorbell caught Misao’s attention. After wondering for a moment who it could be,
she moved to the door and peered thought her peephole to see the darkness of a trench coat and the
tip o a finely shaped chin. Misao moved Kopu to her left arm and opened the door to reveal a
drenched Aoshi.
“Aoshi!” Misao exclaimed, noticed his stated. He seemed soaked from head to toe. He wore a coat,
but nothing to truly shield him from the weather. His skin seemed pale from the dampness, but his
ice-blue eyes shined like the purest diamonds.
He too, stole glances and the person before him. Purple silk pajama bottoms that rode the lower
portion of her hips and a white tank top that was just shy of meeting her belly button graced her
athletic, yet curvaceous frame. Her long hair was pulled back into a ponytail which many strands of
hair escaped, falling around her bright face. The kitty on her arm completed the masterpiece, a
creature as beautiful as she, gazing curiously at him with stark amber eyes.
“May I come in?” Aoshi asked, his tone low. Then, to Misao’s surprised, he added, “I wanted to
make up for yesterday, so brought some DVDs.”
“Of course you can come in!” Misao exclaimed, ushering him inside. She lowered Kopu to the floor
and helped Aoshi out of his coat. The garment felt as if it were a ton, soaked through every fiber
with rain. “I’ll put this in the tub and grab you a towel, you are soaking wet.”
Misao smiled brightly, taking everything in. He said he would make it up to her, and he surely had.
But, she didn’t particularly mind he went to help his friend. Did he mention who she was? Oh yeah,
Kaoru’s co-worker’s wife. Something about being childhood friends. Eithey, sy, she had no
problem with trusting him. They weren’t even ‘together’, yet, so why get all worked up….even
though she hoped that he would commit to her. Misao blushed at her thoughts. They haven’t been
seeing each other that long, she kept reminding herself of that...but she could dream, right?
“Would you like a cup of tea?” Misao questioned.
Aoshi nodded as he removed his loafers. His socks were damp, so he removed those as well. Misao
disappeared into the bathroom while Kopu cautiously approached the stranger in her house. Aoshi
turned to her and smiled, making her pause and considered her next course of action. Aoshi held out
his hand to her, which caused Kopu’s curiosity to circumvent her cautiousness. She sniffed the large,
but graceful hand before her, and then rubbed her cheek against it, purring. Misao stood in the
hallway and smiled at the sight. Aoshi, noticing another presence, met her gaze and she blushed.
“I think she likes me,” Aoshi commented, still caressing the kitten.
“She’s not alone,” Misao said, as they shared a smile.
“Tomoe used to have a cat just like this little bundle. What’s her name?” he quizzed.
“Kopu,” she answered.
“Kopu? Like the Final Fantasy ‘Kopu’, the Moogle?” he asked. Misao’s eyes brightened with the
mention of her favorite RPG.
