Disclamer: Rurouni Kenshin is not my *SOBS* Why? WHY!?!? ******** Lost Loves and Mending Hearts pt.2 By P.Rico A little note: '//' denotes thought. Aoshi stood and faced Megumi This wasn't real. She wasn't really there. Smiling at him, crying for him. She must hate him. Hate him for abandoning her, hate him for threatening her and her friends. No! He was hallucinating. He had to be. After everything he had done, how could she still love him? But she was here and she was real. "Aoshi?" The sound of her voice was so sweet. "Aoshi, what's wrong?" Aoshi closed his eyes. What now? What did he say to her? There was only one thing he could think of. "Megumi, I'm so sorry." She ran to him and threw her arms around him. "Aoshi, I forgive you," she said between sobs. "I love you." Aoshi slowly wrapped his arms around her. Had she really said that? Did she really forgive him? After everything. He held her closer. Was is any wonder he fell in love? Megumi relaxed into Aoshi's embrace. They were together again. Ultimately, nothing that had happened was able to keep them apart. Suddenly, she felt Aoshi stiffen. "What's wrong?" She saw him looking over her shoulder out the open door. "Is somebody out there?" "I don't know," he shook his head. "But I felt..." Megumi laid her head against his chest. "What does it matter is somebody sees us? Do we still have to keep our love a secret? There's nothing and nobody to keep it from. No reason at all." Aoshi tightened his arms around her. "Nobody..." he muttered. //Was this true?// ------ Misao skipped along the dirt road. In one hand was a bag of rice cakes she was taking to Aoshi. Aoshi had been so distant since he came back from Shishio's fortress with Himura and Sano. He had retreated to the temple almost immediatly. She had tried to get him to talk several times and always failed. She sighed as she began to accend the steps to the temple. //Himura kept his promise. Aoshi-sama did return to us. But he was still so...// Her thoughts were inturrupted when she noticed somethin move in front of her. She had just gotten high enough to see the temple and stopped. //Who---? Megumi-san? What is she doing here?// She remembered what Kaoru had told her about what had happened in Tokyo. //Is she here to hurt Aoshi-sama?// Misao dashed into the headge lining the steps not noticing she had dropped the bag. She didn't know exactly what was going on, but right now she would just watch and wait and be ready incase Aoshi needed her. She saw Megumi slide open the door and step inside. Aoshi turned and looked at her, then rose to his feet. They stood looking at each other for some time. Megumi might have been saying something, but she wasn't sure. Finally, she saw Aoshi's mouth move, ever so slightly. Then Megumi ran toward him. Misao tensed... ...and watched in shock as Megumi threw her arms around Aoshi. Then...he raised his arms to embrace her. Misao could only stare as she felt tears begin to run down her face. "Aoshi-sama," she whispered. "Why?" She could take no more. She ran away from the temple, her heart shattering. ********** Okay, what do you think? Too angsty?
