Hey, again I want to thank all the reviewers again for well, actually reviewing my story. And the more reviews I get the faster I update. When I'm finished with this fic I think I want to do a Saint Seiya fic with Shun and Hyoga. There are barely any with them in it and when they do appear there aren't any lemons, so that's at the top of my to do list besides cleaning my room.^_^ but first I have to finish this story before I make any big plans. But enough chit chat on with the story!

" Speech"

` Thoughts'

**** Scene change

Chapter 4

Misao awoke from her blissful slumber all flushed and sweaty. And if you just had a dream about Aoshi wearing nothing but a cup of tea in his hand, asking you if you wanted to hold his kodachi you would be all flushed and sweaty too. ` Just great, every time I see him I won't be able to get those hentai thoughts out of my head' she thought with a smile. ` But he sure looked good in the nude.' And with those naughty thoughts in mind she got up and got dressed and went off to find Okon and Omasu to help her out with her problem.

She was walking down the hallway still wrapped up in that dream she had when none other than Mr. Kodachi himself was exiting his room. She didn't even hear when he told her good morning because at that exact moment she was replaying the part in her dream when he asked if she wanted to hold his kodachi. And if it was possible she turned an even lovelier shade of red than before. She was brought back to reality by Aoshi's sexy deep voice asking her if she was all right. She looked up at him still in a daze and then did nothing but stand there and stare into those lovely blue eyes of his.

" Misao are you alright, why are you looking at me like that?" Aoshi was actually looking at her with concern showing on his chiseled features. ` Why on earth is she looking at me like that, and she's all flushed, she must be sick.'

Misao now coming back from her daydream looked at Aoshi with widened eyes and an even darker blush staining her cheeks. ` He must have said something, oh yes he asked me if I was alright'

" Hai Aoshi I am fine, don't worry about me, I was just day dreaming that's all." She said in a voice that sounded like she just sucked some helium out of a balloon. She winced when she heard her own voice and struggled to get it back to normal. Now that she was sure her voice was back to normal she asked him " so Aoshi what are you doing here still, shouldn't you be at the temple."

He was looking at her now, right in her eyes and it seemed that he was lost in them because he didn't answer right away, he was too lost in his thoughts of her to answer. ` Such beautiful eyes, always bright and full of light, only an angel can possess such innocence and beauty. Yes angel, that is exactly what she is.' Suddenly finding his way back to this world he moved his gaze from her and on to a wall and answered her " well I slept in late, but I am going there now." With that he headed in the opposite direction and left. ` She called me Aoshi again.' He smiled as he walked out of the Aoiya and to the temple.

Mean while Misao now coming out of her trance realized that Aoshi was out of sight. Her heart was still beating rapidly from before when Aoshi was looking well actually staring at her in the eyes. ` How strange, that was one of the few time I actually saw his eyes, his beautiful wonderful blue eyes. As clear as water and as cold as ice.' She walked off and headed to the kitchen still thinking about how she had completely lost herself in Aoshi's eyes and how he actually looked at her in the eye. ` I have never seen that look from him before; his gaze was warm, no longer cold. I hope he looks at me agin like that, it was nice.' She mused to herself.

" You hope who looks at you like that?" asked Shiro who was busy cooking breakfast.

" Uh, no one it was no one!" she said hastily. She looked away angry with herself for voicing her thoughts out loud. " Why isn't Omasu or Okon making the breakfast? They usually make it," she asked trying to switch the subject.

" Well they went out early to get some more groceries but they haven't returned yet so I decided to make breakfast in the mean while. I wonder where on earth the could be." Shiro said as he lifted the pan to flip the vegetables. (A.N: I don't know what the hell he's cooking!)

" Oh did you see which way they went, maybe I could find them." She said while stuffing a rice ball in her mouth.

" Yes they headed in that direction about two hours ago," he said while pointing to the direction in which they went. He turned around in time to see Misao about to grab another rice ball. " Hey! You put that down this instant Miss lady, no stealing!"

" Sorry Shiro-kun but I was real hungry, you know I can't resist your rice balls they're the best!" she said and put on the puppy look.

" Alright, alright you can take some with you but don't over do it and don't give me the puppy look." He said as he turned back around to finish the vegetables.

" You're the best Shiro-kun!" with that she gave him a peck on the cheek and ran out with three rice balls in hand.

" That girl" was all he said as he went back to work with a small blush on his cheeks.

Mean while Misao was walking down the road slowy as she was not a morning person and wondered where Okon and Omasu were. When she turned the corner she spotted Hideki-san who was yapping in all her glory to some poor girls. When she looked closely she realized that the poor girls were Okon and Omasu. ` Poor them, they must have been their for hours. I better get them out of their' with that she headed in that direction scared like hell that Hideki-san would burst her ear drums. The woman had the highest, screechiest voice she had ever heard and she had a tendency to raise it even higher when she was arguing with someone which baffled Misao because it was humanly impossible for her voice to go any higher when it could already break glass and send dogs and cats running away with their tail between their legs.

She had to find a way to distract Hideki-san long enough to get Okon and Omasu out of there. After all she did need their advice and they saved her so many times from the screeching monster that was Hideki-san. She finally reached the house before Hideki's own and she slipped in the narrow space between the two houses and peered out. All she had to do was distract Hideki for a few seconds and she could grab the groceries and then eventually Okon and Omasu. At that very moment Okon looked as if she was about to kill someone while Omasu looked like she was dying. Hideki-san didn't even notice that Omasu was holding her ears and wincing from pain. Misao realized she had to move fast because she needed Omasu and Okon to be able to hear her when she asked for their advice.

She pulled out her kunai and got ready. She noticed that there was a vase outside with flowers, if she broke it that would distract Hideki for a while. But she had to get Okon and Omasu's attention first.

She picked up some pebbles and threw them at their feet. They stopped holding their heads and looked around and then in the direction from which the pebbles came. They spotted her and gave her a smile and then mouthed "get us out of here."

With that Misao nodded a yes and then mouthed back " get ready to run." They shook their heads in understanding and pretended to listen to Hideki-san. Misao tightened her grip on her kunai and looked at the vase again before she slunk back into the darkness and jumped up on to a roof. She readied herself and then let loose a fury of kunai upon the vase. The loud shattering of glass was heard through the whole street and everything went quite even Hideki. In a flash she jumped down grabbed the groceries and made a hasty exit with Okon and Omasu close behind. After what seemed an eternity of running like the devil was hot on their tails they made it back to the Aoiya through the back and jumped down onto the dirt and sped of inside.

They finally stopped to catch their breaths in the kitchen with the groceries scattered all about and a very shocked Shiro staring at them, like they grew a new set of heads, with his mouth open.

Then a blur a blue was seen as both Okon and Omasu flew across the room to hug a now exhausted Misao who was holding her hand to her chest with her eyes wide.

" Oh Misao, you saved us from death, thank you so much, I didn't think we would make it back alive, arigato Misao-chan" said a now teary eyed Okon who was squeezing the living daylights out of Misao.

" Yes thank you so much we'll do anything for you to repay you for what you have done for us" added a crying Omasu who was also squeezing the living daylights out of Misao.

" Can't….. breathe.." Misao who was now turning blue from lack of oxygen struggled to get the two words out. Immediately they released her and said "sorry" in unison.

" It was terrible Misao, we were coming back from the market and then she spotted us and held us down in the worst conversation I ever heard, my ears were starting to bleed" said a still very traumatized Okon who was slightly shaking.

" Your lucky I went out to look for you guys, you might be still there on the ground in a pool of blood." Misao stated as she got up and straightened her messed up clothes. " I wanted to ask your advice on something."

" Really? Well let's get this mess cleaned up and then we could talk about whatever it is you need to tell us." Said Omasu who was helping Okon pick up the groceries off the ground.

" Shiro would you stop staring and help us with the groceries!" yelled Okon who was now bundling all the radishes together.

" Nani? Oh yeah sure!" he said as he rushed over to help.

Meanwhile Hideki-san was still staring at the broken vase on the ground when she realized that the two girls she was talking to had left. " Damn, I'll have to continue that story about Koura-kun's new girlfriend some other time."

****

" So Misao what was is that you wanted to talk to us about?" asked Okon who was busy combing her now wet hair after they all took a bath.

" Well, it's about Aoshi-sama's birthday gift. You see, I finally know what I want to get him but its really expensive and I don't have any money on me."

" I know you saved us today from a very cruel death but I am not lending you any more money Misao " said Omasu who was helping Okon with a hairpin.

" No I don't want to borrow money from you, I already owe you two a hair pin and a pair of sandals."

" Its okay Misao you don't have to buy anything for us again we both agreed that we will let that one slide." Stated Okon who was now pinning up Omasu's hair.

" Arigato Okon, Omasu, but please I need your help before I go on my vacation." Misao said as she bowed her head as a thank you.

" Well you never told us what you wanted to get him."

" Yeah what is it that it is so expensive that you can't afford It.?" stated Omasu as she smiled to herself about something then whispered something into Okon's ear that immediately started giggling.

" Hey what are you two giggling about? This is not funny you know." Said a now agitated Misao.

They both gave her an evil smile before Okon said with a wry smile on her face, " why don't you give Aoshi yourself as his present"

" What do you mean Okon, I don't understand what you are…." Then she realized what Okon was talking about and immediately started to turn red like a tomato.

" We all know Aoshi hasn't gotten any in a very long time Misao and we also know that you would like to give him some!" said a laughing Omasu.

" You bunch of hentai! You expect me to go screw Aoshi for his birthday! Honestly you two need help." Misao was getting very red now from anger and from actually thinking that it wasn't such a bad idea.

Seeing the glare that they were on the receiving end of they immediately stopped laughing and tried to get serious. A still smiling Okon said, " we were only teasing you Misao-chan, no one expected you to go and do that, but tell us what was it you wanted to get him."

" New tea sets for the tea ceremony, but all the nice ones are so expensive." She noticed the look Okon and Omasu was giving her and then the way they were looking at each other and started to sweat drop.

" That is a wonderful gift Misao, he would love that. But maybe you don't have to buy a new set, maybe you can make it and you won't have to spend any money." Said Omasu who was smiling like a maniac and her face was taking own a very disturbing look that Misao knew all too well.

" Yes that is a wonderful idea, and I won't have to spend any money but I don't know how to make pottery Omasu."

" Well why don't you learn to." Said Okon who was also taking on that same disturbing look that Omasu had now.

" But I don't know anyone who knows how to make pottery." Misao was getting really scared now because Okon and Omasu smiles got even brighter.

" But we do" they cooed together.

" W-who?" asked a shaking, sweating Misao. Then she saw that their eyes started to twinkle and their hands were clasped together and they were smiling like they were high. She knew that look all too well. It was the look of a fan girl when they saw their object of affection. Misao was turning blue now. There could only be one person that made Okon and Omasu disgustingly happy and drooling.

" Why Hiko-sama of course." They cooed together and both looked at each other and squealed in delight.

` Hiko-sama? Who on earth is Hi…" She stopped immediately. They couldn't we serious, they just couldn't. If the Hiko she was thinking about was the same as the Hiko they were speaking about then that would mean that, " Hiko Seijuro?" she said in shock.

" Yes Hiko-sama is a wonderful pottery artist." They said as they hugged each other and were smiling like idiots.

Then suddenly Misao came out of her stupor and analyzed the whole situation and with a scream that could wake the dead she said " you want me to learn how to make pottery from Seijuro Hiko, master of the Hiten Mitsurugi technique, teacher of the Hitokiri Battousai! You must be crazy!"

" Yes, now lets go inside and talk more about our sex god Hiko-sama." With that they both pulled a struggling Misao inside of the Aoiya who kept saying " kami-sama please help me" to her room to discuss Hiko Seijuro, master of pottery.

So, how was it? Please review and let me know. And remember the more reviews the faster the updates!

Next chapter is coming soon so please be patient and review like crazy! Hope you Hiko fans will happy.

Well that's all for now! Ja ne! ^_~
