From: "Heaven's Cloud" Hi minna. I've lurking for a really loooong time and finally here's a fic to end this century. This is my first songfic. I've wanted to write this the first time I listen to this song. Forget about the grammar mistakes, and I'm quite happy with it. =p Hope you'll like it. Happy Y2K!

"Pretty Young Girl" by Bad Boys Blue ~ A RK Songfic by Abyssinian ~ =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= [Music Starts] The afternoon sun shines over the Aoiya. Misao fastens her ninja suit and hops out of her room. She jumps into the courtyard, takes a deep breath and starts practicing. [I know, life is different to you] As Misao focus on her actions, Aoshi comes walking down the corridor. He stops when he sees her. [First love, can be frightening that's true] Aoshi recalls the little girl who used to run around him and imitates his moves when he practiced. [So take me as your brother and your friend] Misao just finished a set of actions when she noticed Aoshi stepping into the courtyard. Misao stays still, but Aoshi nods, signaling her to continue. [Then take me as your lover and your man] Misao begins another set. Beads of perspiration shake off her face as Misao punches and kicks in smooth connection. [Pretty young girl on my mind. How I wish you to be mine] Aoshi watches intensely. It is only now that he realizes how much of a woman she has become. No longer the little girl he used to take care of, but a woman whom he came to love. Love. Aoshi wonders when did that feeling started. [Girl you're no child any more] Misao jumps into the air, does a back flip, and throws a kunai. The kunai shoots out like an arrow, but misses the tree she aimed. It fell onto the ground after knocking the side of the trunk. Misao wails as she lands on her feet. [Pretty young girl on my mind. Don't you know, no, I can't hide] With a determined look, Misao takes out another kunai and holds it in front of her. Before Misao can make a move, a strong hand suddenly grabs her right wrist from behind. [Can't hide my feelings] Aoshi's hand immediately relaxed and slides up to take hers. His other hand slowly pulls the kunai out and placed it between her fingers, adjusting her grip. All the while Misao just stared at the hands, speechless. [You're my girl and you're sixteen] After that Aoshi releases her hand and takes a few steps away. Misao turns around and look at him, then at her kunai. She nods. [Instrumental] Once again Misao does a back flip and throws her kunai. This time it stabs the centre of the tree trunk. Misao lands smartly and stands up joyfully with a fist. Aoshi nods in approval. [Don't know, is it wrong, is it right] After dinner Misao retires to her room. She drops onto the futon, giggling as she remembers the event that afternoon. Later Aoshi walks past her room and peeps through a small gap to check on her. [Sweet girl, I wanna love you tonight] Tired from the intense practice, Misao fell asleep. On the second thought, Aoshi enters the room. [So take me as your brother and your friend] Aoshi kneels beside her and pull the blanket up to cover her. Misao shifts under the blanket and sigh. [But first of all I wanna be your man] Aoshi gently brushes her bangs away from her face. He traces the contour of her face and then rests his hand on her rosy cheek. Smooth and warm. [Pretty young girl on my mind. How I wish you to be mine] He studies her delicate features. She looks even more beautiful when asleep. Aoshi can't understand why this little angel would love an unlovable man like him. [Girl you're no child anymore] I love her as a woman, not as a sister. Aoshi decided. As his gaze travels down to her lips, he has a sudden urge to kiss her. [Pretty young girl on my mind. Don't you know, no, I can't hide] Aoshi's emotions grew stronger. He thinks twice before leaning forward and plants a soft kiss on her forehead. Misao moans and opens her eyes sleepily. [Can't hide my feelings] She whispers his name. Aoshi's heart skipped a beat. He gazes into her lambent blue eyes. [You're my girl and you're sixteen] Aoshi apologizes for waking her, but Misao just shakes her head and smiles as she places her hand on top of his own. She closes her eyes and smoothes her cheek against his palm. [Pretty young girl on my mind. How I wish you to be mine] Aoshi watches her. So innocent and beautiful. [Girl you're no child anymore] After tonight Aoshi will never look at Misao the same way as before. [Pretty young girl on my mind. Don't you know, no, I can't hide] Misao turns to look at him with so much love and passion in her eyes that it makes it too hard for Aoshi to hold back his feelings now. [Can't hide my feelings no more] He lowers his head and kisses the tip of her nose, then on her cherry lips. To Misao, moments like this used to be something that she only dares to dream of. [Pretty young girl on my mind, don't you know, no, I can't hide] When Aoshi breaks the tender kiss, he noticed that there are tears in her eyes. It is the first time that Misao sees a genuine smile on his face. Misao bites her lower lip, trying to hold back her tears but they just keep rolling down her cheeks. He wipes them away with his thumb. [Can't hide my feelings] Misao puts her arm around his neck and pulls him close to her. Aoshi returns his embrace. [You're my girl and you're sixteen] For a long time they just held each other, enjoying each other's presence. Aoshi doesn't care about the age difference between them. From this moment on, Makimachi Misao will always belong to Shinomori Aoshi. He whispers into Misao's ear the three words that he thought he would never get to say. "I love you."
