Rico" Hi,minna, Here is the third part of my insane Aoshi fic. (I love Aoshi, I really do.) Anyways, this part gave me some problem; I rewrote it several times. It finally came to me during an exceptionally boring geology lecture. So if it's too crazy I blame that:p. Disclaimer: They are not mine. SO THERE! ************************** Family pt.3 It had quieted down considerably since the Shinimoris left. Aoshi had reverted back to his usual emotionless self. Most everyone had gone to sleep leaving only Aoshi, Misao, Okina, and Kenshin. They were now sitting in a circle drinking some tea Kenshin had brewed. Aoshi brought the cup to his lips, closed his eyes, and took a sip. The tea was very good so he let it remain in his mouth for a while before swallowing. It was then he became aware of three pairs of eyes on him. He opened one eye. "What?" "Are you alright, Aoshi-sama?" He glanced sidelong at Misao and nodded slightly. "What are you going to do?" "There's only one thing I can do." An alarmed look appeared on Misao's face. "You're not going to go through with the wedding are you?" "Of course not. I'm going to tell my parents that I refuse to get married." Okin dropped his cup. "Are you sure about this?" There was a tense silence. "Yes," said Aoshi finally, after taking a deep breath. Then he rose to his feet. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed now." Misao also stood up. "Me, too. 'Night Jiya, 'night Himura." "Good night Misao-dono, Aoshi." When they left, Kenshin turned to Okina and asked. "Okina-san, what type of people are Aoshi's parents. They seemed so nice." "They are nice, usually. But when it comes to Aoshi..." his voice trailed off. "You learn soon enough." He finished his tea and reached behind his back and pulled out a sake bottle. "I'm going to need this." The next day, Aoshi was up early, as usual, and was going to the temple to meditate, as usual. But when he opened the door to go out, he was greeted by the smiling faces of his parents and their dog. "Early riser, just like you folks," said Rei. "Good morning, Mother, Father." said Aoshi, bowing slightly. "Good morning!" they replied. "I wasn't expecting you this early. I was going to the temple to meditate." "There'll be plenty of time for that later," said Ai. "Right now, we want you to meet you fiancee, Sakura." Aoshi looked down at the white furball in his mother's arms. "The dog?" Ai chuckled. "Of course not, silly." They parted to reveil a petite, shy looking young woman, her head slightly bowed. "Aoshi, Sakura. Sakura, Aoshi." Sakura slowly raised her head, a polite smile on her face. Her eyes suddenly widened when she saw Aoshi and her smile became wider. "WHOA, BABY!" She immediatly ran up to Aoshi and threw her arms around his neck. "Shinomori Aoshi," she said in a low seductive voice. "I'll be the perfect wife. Loyal, obediant, hardworking. And I'll satisfy you in every way possible." Aoshi didn't answer. He was to busy trying to pry her arms from around him. "Don't they make a lovely couple, Dear?" Ai brushed away tears. "I'm so happy." ------ Okina and Misao were surprized to see Aoshi having tea with his parents so early. They were really suprized to see the attractive young lady staring at him. "Good morning, Aoshi-sama," said Misao. "Who's she?" "Misao-chan," said Rei. "This is Sakura. Aoshi's fiancee." THUMP! "F-fiancee," said Misao as Okina lifted her off the floor. "That's right," said Sakura. "And we couldn't be happier." "Aoshi," said Okina. "Isn't there something you need to tell your parents?" Aoshi nodded. "He's right, there is. But I'd like to tell you in private. "All right," said Ai. "Sakura, will you excuse us?" "Of course, Mother." Aoshi shuddered. Misao almost ended up on the floor again. "Karou-san," said Okina as she and Kenshin walked downstairs. "This is Sakura. Why don't you take her out to see the garden?" "Um...okay," said Karou, confused about the whole scene. They left. Okina tucked the limp Misao under his arm and began to walk to another room. "Come on, Himura," he said, grabbing Kenshin by the back of his gi and dragging him along. "Oro?" Finally, Aoshi and his parents were alone. "Well, what did you want to tell us, Son?" asked Rei. "First, that I'm a grown man and can make my own choices." "Of course, Dear," said Ai. "Second, I'm sure Sakura is a lovely young lady." "Isn't she, though?" said Rei. "But I don't want to marry her." There was a pause. Then Aoshi saw his mother open her mouth. He knew what was coming next. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---" Outside in the garden. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---" "What is that?" asked Sakura, covering her ears. "I don't know," said Karou, doing the same. Just outside of Kyoto. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---" The Pacific Ocean. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---" Space (the Final Frontier ^-^). "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---" The USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D "Captian Picard, I am picking up a rift in the space-time continue-um directly in front of us." "On screen, Mr. Data." "I've never seen anything like it." "Sir, I'm picking up sound waves." "In space? That's impossible." "Don't tell me, tell the computer." "Com." "Aye, Sir." "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---" "Argh! Shut if off. SHUT IT OFF!" Back to where we started. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." ------ In the other room, Okina looked back at the stunned Kenshin and Misao and smiled. "She took that better that I expected." End pt.3 ************************* Okay, Aoshi's parents are insane and you probably think I am too. Oh, well. Just remember, this was writed during a boring geology lecture. Bordom can have a weird effect on the mind (as I'm sure many of you already know ^-^). Pt. four is coming sometime in the near future (hopefully). Be afraid (BWHAHAHAHHAHAHA!). _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
