Chapter 2

Misao made her way towards the temple that her Aoshi-sama was meditating at with his tea in hand. She truly enjoyed bringing him his tea, it was the only time she really got to spend with him, which of course consisted of a one sided conversation. She was always chatting up a storm while he sat there like the stoic wooden statue he is. Mind you a very hot sexy beautiful statue at that. She was sure there were no others like him he had to be one of a kind, I mean have you ever seen a statue of someone that hot.

She had thought about the many things he could possibly want and would like but everything she thought of didn't seem to suit him well enough. She didn't have any kind of idea what he could possibly want for his birthday. He wasn't like Sano whom she knew what to get him. He was different, and most importantly difficult to find a gift for but Jiya always got him something wonderful. She had watched for the past three years the way Aoshi would actually give the smallest smile when Jiya gave his present. He never once cracked a smile whenever she gave him a present. Perhaps it was because Jiya always gave him something useful like a book or something he actually liked like a box of foreign tea. That one sure made him smile, well since it was Aoshi it was the smallest movement of his lips. She was sure he never wore that black silk top she gave him that she bought with all the money she had saved for a year. She had looked all over for the finest silk top to give him and she thought it to be perfect but she felt like it wasn't perfect to Aoshi. Coming to think of it he never used anything she had given him well at least that was what she concluded from what she saw.

She was walking up the stairs now carefully balancing the tray of tea in her hands as she gracefully walked up the last set of steps. She placed the tray down on a ledge outside and fixed her clothes making sure to pull down her shorts a little more. She picked the tray back up and slid the screen open and made her way over to the form with its back facing her. She slid the screen close and made her way over to her Aoshi-sama. She wasn't even half way to the floor when she heard his deep sexy voice say to her " your late Misao."

Oh how many times she wished he would say I love to her in that sexy voice of his but it just wouldn't come true. " Gomen nasai Aoshi-sama, I didn't realize the time and well I was kind of busy with something" she bowed and then finally sat down in front of him setting the tray down to the left of her and began her daily routine of preparing his tea. She had really mastered the whole tea ceremony thing, she did it so many times that she had perfected it and performed it with such grace. She probably could do it with her eyes closed. She handed him he tea and he silently took it from her.

`Misao is so beautiful and graceful ' Aoshi thought to himself. ` two years ago her hands would have been shaking like crazy and she would have knocked something over by now but she's matured so much now and she has turned into such a graceful woman, its as if she suddenly bloomed overnight.' His thought were kindly interrupted by Misao's beautiful soothing voice asking him if he had I nice day.

" hai"

" So Aoshi, your birthday is coming up soon"

" Hmn"

" So do you have anything in mind that you would really want?"

` I want you ` he thought. " No not really"

" oh" ` why does he always have to be so difficult' she thought bitterly to herself.

" well anyway Jiya told me that I can take a month off so I can rest a little"

"…"

" So I will be gone a whole month from the Aoiya"

"…"

`why does he always have to be so damn silent! Why isn't he surprised or sad I'll be gone, well I guess he really doesn't care' She started up again " I leave you in charge Aoshi-sama, I know you will take care off all the oniwabanshu affairs quite well on your own"

" Hmn" that was Aoshi's way of saying, oh my darling Misao don't leave me alone here for a month, I can't stand not to see that beautiful smile of yours for so long. " the Aoiya will be in good hands Misao you don't have to worry"

" I wasn't worried, I know you will do a fantastic job Aoshi. But please make sure Jiya doesn't go chasing girls before taking his medicine for those old ones of his. I don't want him making more of a fool of himself infront of them if his fingers or his legs stick in one position and he can't move" she laughed.

` she just called me Aoshi, no sama added on' he thought. " hai, I will try my best even though nothing can stop him from making a fool of himself" he had a small smile upon his face.

`wow Aoshi is actually smiling! He even made a joke!' She smiled back at him brightly. She actually made him smile for once. " well I have to get back to the Aoiya now its my turn to wait tables, well Ja ne Aoshi!" she picked up the tray and exited the temple. On her way out she realized something " shimatta! I forgot to ask him what he would like for his birthday!"

Meanwhile Aoshi sat on the floor of the temple staring off into space `she called me Aoshi.'
