Hello mina-san... This list has been pretty these days. Anyway, I have just
written a lemon (!!!Shocking!!!) and this is all Harumi and Khursten's
fault. The A&M ML has been rather crazy nowadays with me having abnormally
high hormone levels. 

BTW, here's the lemon and I intend to make it as a sidestory to the second
part of my ongoing Aoshi (if anyone remembers... ^^;) epic. =) This is my
first lemon and please, please, please, give comments! I'm rather
nervious... I might post the third chapter of 'Embracing the Sword'
sometime soon. =) (Ashfae!!! Where are you???) 

Warning: Graphic sex. Underaged people, please refrain from reading this
lemon/adult romance. I'm not responsible for any casualties caused by this
fic.

A Side Story to Dreams in the Dark: 
Okashira (The Leader) 

A Rurouni Kenshin fanfic by Yume Kino. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

	Aoshi looked away, not wanting to have eye contact with Misao. 
His fists were clutching the ends of his Onmitsu uniform so tightly 
that the fabric was threatening to tear apart. Misao looked at Aoshi 
with pursed lips. Tears were waiting to spill from her large eyes as 
she swallowed painfully. 

	"Aoshi-sama, look at me," Misao commanded, her voice cracked 
from emotion. 

	No reaction. 

	"Aoshi-sama, I, as the Okashira of the Onmitsu Oniwabanshuu,  
demand that you look at me at once!" yelled Misao, and slammed her 
hands on the low table. 

	Reluctantly, Aoshi turned to gaze at her with his cold stare. 
"What do you want?" asked the man evenly, his voice showing no trace 
of emotions. Aoshi kept his tone under control, not wanting Misao to 
hear his true voice. 

	"Aoshi-sama, you have been hiding yourself in a secluded corner 
of this world for too long! Everyone is worried about you! Okina, 
Omasu, everyone!" screamed Misao, tears running down her cheeks in 
rivulets. "You are a coward, Aoshi-sama!" 

	"Don't ever call me a coward," hissed Aoshi suddenly and stood 
up, his eyes flashing with anger as he tried to keep the raging fire 
in him under control. 

	"You are a coward! You are a coward! I hate you!" sobbed Misao 
and stood up also. With long strides, she stood right in front of 
Aoshi and started banging her fists on his chest. "You are such a 
selfish coward! You don't have the guts to face reality! You are not 
fit to be the Okashira..." 

	"Yes... I'm a coward..." whispered Aoshi suddenly and dropped 
down to his knees. "You are right, Misao... I don't have the guts to 
face the reality..." mumbled Aoshi, his face pale from Misao's words. 
*I... I killed Hannya, Beshimi, Hyottoko and Shikijou... They... They 
died while trying to save me... Misao's right... I am not fit to be 
the Okashira...* Aoshi squeezed his eyes shut as his memories flashed 
past in a flurry. His skin still burned where spots of his loyal 
Onmitsu's blood splattered on him when Kanryuu's machine gun hit 
them. 

	"Aoshi-sama... You don't qualify to be our Okashira." 

	"Why is that so?" 

	"Because I *am* the Okashira now. I'm the next in line because 
my grandfather was the Okashira before you." 

	"You are a girl. No female can ever lead a clan." 

	"A girl can perform better than a man." 

	"Fine, but that doesn't give you the scared seat of our clan. 
You don't have the imperial seal of honor." 

	"What imperial seal of honor?" 

	"The symbol of the Onmitsu Oniwabanshuu's existence." 

	Misao looked at him, dumbfound. "Jiya... Jiya never told me 
about it..." 

	"No outsiders know we have such a seal. It's a clan secret and 
we don't disclose it to younger members too," Aoshi turned to look 
at Misao again. "I'm far more experienced than you are, Misao, and 
don't ever underestimate me." 

	"What should I do to make you give me the title of the 
Okashira? I'll do anything." 

	Aoshi blinked once and swallowed. Seeing Misao's innocent face, 
he turned to face the opened window of his room. Another set of 
equally painful memories surfaced in his conscious mind. The scent of 
the sandalwood incense still haunted him... 

	Yes, the old Okashira burned sandalwood incense on his 
initiation night. Just then, a soft gust of cool night blew into the 
room, creating a chilly draft. Aoshi fought back the strong urge to 
throw up as the strong smell of the sandalwood smoke drifted past his 
nostrils. He always hated the tingling scent of sandalwood. With 
every whiff he took, it reminded him of his forced initiation by the 
old man. 

	It made him feel insecure and dirty to be used just like that. 

	Suddenly, Aoshi felt so weak, so powerless. It was a feeling 
which he hadn't experienced for a long, long time. Aoshi gritted his 
teeth and turned to face Misao, his eyes fixed on her. 

	"No. You will regret this." 

	"No, I won't." 

	"You will. Sometimes, I wish I wasn't your Okashira at all.
"I don't want to hurt you as what our past Okashira did me."  

	"Aoshi-sama, I still want to be Okashira of the Onmitsu 
Oniwabanshuu..." pleaded Misao, her bright eyes slowly filling up 
with tears. "I'll prove to you that I can do my job as well as you 
did. I don't want you to suffer anymore." 

	"Are you sure?" came the answer from the tall man, his eyes 
widening at Misao's declaration. 

	"Yes, I am willing to take up any challenge which lies in my 
way upon becoming the next Okashira," whispered Misao and her left 
hand reached out, clutching one end of Aoshi's long sash. "Tell me, 
what should I do?" 

	"Well, you need to be initiated first according to our rules," 
whispered Aoshi softly into her ear, suddenly pulling Misao close to 
him. Their hot breath mingled exotically and beads of sweat were 
already rolling down the girl's forehead. The light in Aoshi's eyes 
flickered hungrily and they studied Misao's facial features closely, 
making Misao blush in embarrassment. 

	"Aoshi-sama, why are you looking at me like that?" asked Misao 
in a small voice as Aoshi's hand pulled her even closer to him until 
their bodies were touching. 

	"Before I became Okashira, I went through lots of torture, 
including being forced into entertaining people I hate... " began 
Aoshi and paused to nibble on Misao's earlobe. "Since you want to be 
the Okashira, I'll give you this honorable title, but you have to do 
something for me." 

	"What is it?" 

	"Undo your hair now," growled Aoshi and drew an imaginary line 
across her delicate face in a feather-like touch. His hand reached 
behind Misao to take hold of her long braid. Curling the end around 
his index finger, he gazed deeply into her brilliant eyes. 

	"Wh... Why?" 

	"This is part of the ceremony. Now do what I tell you to do," 
Aoshi said softly and a hand sneaked down to her exposed thighs, 
fingering them gently with the tips of his fingers. 

	"Aoshi-sama, what are you going to do to me?" Misao asked in a 
small voice, her innocent eyes gazing straight up into Aoshi's 
mysterious ones. "I... I... You... You..." 

	"Misao, you are not a young girl now. Besides, this is 
something you would need to go through in life. I'm just making this 
simple and easy for you... Don't you want my full attention?" replied 
Aoshi and touched her softly on the cheeks with his lips. "If you do 
your job well, I'll entertain you in return," Aoshi whispered in a 
low tone and breathed in Misao's bodily perfume. 

	The young girl shivered at their bodily contact and a wave of 
pleasure washed through her body. "Aoshi-sama, I would love to 
entertain you..." started Misao and looked at Aoshi meaningfully. "If 
you wanted me to *entertain* you earlier, I would have obliged." 

	Aoshi smirked and with his free hand underneath her knees, he 
lifted her up and carried her in his arms before laying her gently on 
a soft futon. "Will you regret being Okashira after this?" he 
whispered into Misao's ears as his fingers sneaked under her 
Oniwabanshuu uniform to feel her aroused body. Misao shivered in 
anticipation and with trembling hands, she wrapped her limbs around 
Aoshi while her fingers worked frantically at his bow behind him. 

	"Can't wait, ne?" teased Aoshi as he raked his slender digits 
through Misao's hair, breathing in the soft sweet scent. Bringing 
his face close to Misao's, he looked deeply into those innocent pools 
of blue in the girl's eyes. "Looks as if the baby of Onmitsu 
Oniwabanshuu has finally grown up..." As he said that, he twisted 
Misao's arms into a comfortable position behind her and held them in 
a strong grip. 

	So many things had happened since he left Aoiya when he was 
eighteen. He was a mere teenager when he decided to live and die with 
four of his most loyal companions, and when he finally returned to 
his old home, nearly everything had changed. 

	Okina had grown old, Omasu had matured into a beautiful woman 
while Shirojou and Kurojou had grown up to be fine young men. Aoshi 
sighed internally. Even Misao had finally grown up, too... Maybe he 
was away for too long. So long that he didn't have a chance to watch 
the girl blossom into a beautiful flower. 

	"Aoshi-sama?" inquired Misao as she saw the frown on Aoshi's 
forehead. She was almost certain that he was... facing some problems. 
Suddenly, she found Aoshi's lips pressing against hers fiercely, 
giving his heart and soul to her. Misao was shocked at Aoshi's 
action, but slowly, she kissed him back with a passion which equaled 
her Okashira's. 

	Tenderly, Aoshi broke the kiss before pushing himself up with 
his arms. With his index finger, he traced Misao's cheekbones in 
rounded contours and tucked a few wisps of her stray hair behind the 
girl's ear. "I'll show you how wonderful the world of entertaining 
other people can be..." 

	"I... ah... I..." 

	"What is it? Tell me," commanded Aoshi in a low tone before 
placing another kiss on her lips. Slowly, he moved down until he was 
at Misao's waist level. With his teeth, he bit one end of her sash 
and pulled it free, causing the cloth to lie limply on the girl's 
body. Tentatively, he placed his hand on the inner fold of her sash. 
With a single fluid movement, he yanked the belt away and threw it 
aside. 

	"A... Aoshi-sama... I... I'm not experienced," blurted out 
Misao and hid her head in Aoshi's shoulder, her face flushing from 
embarrassment. "I..." 

	"Just do what I say and you'll pass this initiation very 
easily," assured Aoshi and ripped the front panels of Misao's 
Oniwabanshuu uniform apart before pulling it off her, revealing a 
dainty white slip. Seeing her neck exposed, Aoshi bent down to bite 
the delicate skin there gently, stimulating the excitement which he 
had harbored in heart for a long period of time. 

	"No fair!" protested Misao loudly as a pleasurable tingle 
raced down her spine. Misao jerked her arms free from Aoshi's hold 
and reached behind him once again, her hands gripping the base of 
Aoshi's sash. "No fair if you don't take off one article of your 
clothing too." With one tug, Aoshi's sash undid itself and dropped 
off him. Suddenly, Misao found herself looking at Aoshi's bare chest. 
*Aoshi-sama... So many scars...* murmured Misao internally as she 
fingered a long strip of scar tissue. Aoshi sucked in the cool air 
and proceeded to put a finger across her lips. 

	"Shush, you won't want Okina to know about our little 
agreement, ne?" 

	"No... No, Jiya would be very upset," whimpered Misao softly 
and placed her trembling fingers on Aoshi's exposed collarbones. The 
sensation was cool and wonderful as she heaved herself up and kissed 
Aoshi gently on his cheek. "Besides, I'm already too old to get 
married. Who would want an 18 year old bride?" As she finished the 
sentence, she giggled softly and trailed butterfly kisses on his 
face. 

	"Now keep quiet and don't giggle. This is supposed to be part 
of the official ceremony," ordered Aoshi sternly, his hands sneaking 
down to the flaps of her white slip to undo the knot. "I'll determine 
whether you pass or fail this time," whispered Aoshi softly. 
Suddenly, Aoshi stood up and walked away, leaving Misao in a daze. 

	"Aoshi-sama... Wh..." began Misao but before the girl could 
even finish her sentence, the lights went out. Misao blinked in the 
darkness, straining to see clearly. There was a full moon in the sky 
and rays of silver light were streaming into the room through the 
open window. 

	"Aoshi-sama!" squealed Misao as a warm body came to rest above 
hers. She felt around her, her sensitive fingers coming in contact 
with Aoshi's body. She brushed her hand across his chest again, but 
there were no traces of her Okashira's jacket. "Aoshi-sama, you took 
off your top?" asked Misao in a soft tone, her voice shaking from 
excitement. 

	"Now comes the most important part," began a low tone beside 
her head, making Misao freeze in anticipation. The closeness and 
Aoshi's bodily warmth radiating from him was almost too much to bear, 
making Misao reach out to crush herself against her Okashira. 

	"Ahhhhh!" Misao gasped suddenly as a rush of cool air hit her 
bare skin just moment after the sound of tearing fabric echoed around 
her. Prying herself free from Aoshi's embrace, she saw herself the 
remnants of her Onmitsu jacket in tatters lying on edge of the futon. 
Panic overcame her as she grabbed a blanket to cover herself. Shyly, 
she stole a peek at Aoshi and saw his eyes dancing with amusement. 

	There was another cold object resting on her bare back. 

	Aoshi's kodachi. 

	The cold blade of the weapon slid dangerously across her skin 
as Misao shivered involuntarily. "Don't be shy," came a voice, making 
Misao blush even harder. 

	"Gomen ne, Aoshi-sama," apologized Misao and softly lowered her 
arms. Aoshi gave a small smile and whispered teasingly, "Still shy? 
I can guarantee you will be braver after this session." Pushing her 
down on the futon again, Aoshi gave her a full kiss on her lips, 
rubbing his bare chest against Misao. The young man growled in 
delight as Misao let out a soft groan through kiss, causing him to 
pull away from her. For the first time in ten years, Aoshi studied 
the girl from head to toe, his pulse racing faster when his eyes and 
fingers followed the curves on Misao's body. Seeing her shorts were 
still in place, his hand stopped at the waistband and began dragging 
a finger across her belly. 

	"Misao, you have a beautiful figure..." praised Aoshi and 
placed his knees on the sides of Misao's hips, his eyes drinking in 
the sight of the girl's petite body. "I'm a lucky Okashira to be 
initiating you..." 

	"Aoshi-sama," moaned Misao, her back arching off the soft 
bedding as Aoshi's fingers did a fleeting dance on her delicate skin. 
"Don't..." 

	"I would love to show you more tonight but I would have to 
blindfold you first," suggested Aoshi and before Misao could protest, 
the young man took hold of her discarded sash. "You will like this, I 
assure you," whispered Aoshi and proceeded to wrap the cloth around 
the girl's eyes. Misao moaned ecstatically at the friction of Aoshi's 
pants when he moved against her, bringing a silent laugh to the young 
man. 

	"It's so dark..." whined Misao and her hands reached out to 
secure their hold on Aoshi. Suddenly, she heard a rustling noise of 
fabric being handled before a dull thud sounded beside her head. 
"Aoshi-sama, where are you?" Misao asked in a small voice. 

	"I'm still here," answered a male voice and suddenly, a pair 
of hands took Misao by her sides and turned before placing her on the 
hollow of his stomach. Trying peer through the darkness, Misao looked 
down blindly at Aoshi's face. Misao suppressed a giggle and began 
stroking Aoshi's chest before leaning even closer to him. 

	Seeing Misao's reaction, he chuckled softly and hooked his 
fingers on the topmost layer of the girl's shorts. With a flick of 
his wrists, the article tore. Reaching up to cup Misao's face, Aoshi 
began to lick her lips, relishing their taste. Another tongue flicked 
out and touched Aoshi on the lips. Before long, the couple were 
entwined in a passionate kiss, each asking for more. 

	Suddenly, Misao felt an object rubbing against her bare back. 
She tried to ignore it but the rubbing sensation was getting more and 
more intense. 

	"Ahhhhh!!! Aoshi-sama! There's something warm and hard poking 
at my thigh!!! I think it's..." screamed Misao after pushing Aoshi 
away and groped around frantically, her hands reaching out blindly 
before pulling on a long and smooth object. Aoshi groaned and pressed 
Misao down on her shoulders with his wrists. "Don't ever pull on me 
like that," growled Aoshi and tore off Misao's blindfold. 

	"Y... You?" 

	Still not satisfied, Misao peered down at the evidence of the 
raging fire within Aoshi in her hands and saw a part of him. Blushing 
furiously, she noticed that he was equally naked as she was and her 
first reaction was to release Aoshi's sex. "Sorry... I... uh... I 
don't mean..." stumbled Misao, not daring to look at him directly in 
the eyes. Suddenly, a pair of arms gripped her and shoved her gently 
onto the futon. 

	"Don't say anything now but I'll make you pay later," started 
Aoshi before puncturing the sentence with a deep kiss. "Misao, tell 
me the truth now... Have you been with other men?" 

	"What other men?" asked Misao and looked at him curiously. 

	"C'mon, Misao, tell me. Are you..." 

	"I... You are going to be my first..." whispered Misao and 
lowered her eyes, blushing prettily. 

	"Your first..." repeated Aoshi softly and gazed into her eyes. 
"Innocence gone..." 

	"What?" mumbled Misao, as Aoshi's hand gathered her hair at the 
nape of her neck. "Misao, thank you for giving me this opportunity." 
Aoshi trailed his warm tongue around Misao's lips and slowly made its 
way down to her chest, its eager tip sliding over her breasts. Aoshi 
smiled confidently when Misao let out a loud moan of pleasure. 
Another hand brushed teasingly against the flesh of her waist and 
slipped down to her legs, giving her inner thighs a pinch. Misao 
flinched, feeling the jolt of pain. Aoshi's fingers began to coax her 
legs to part widely under his probing touch. 

	"Misao, don't scream if you don't want anyone to hear us," 
Aoshi warned quietly and leaned over to give her a quick kiss. The 
girl nodded and closed her eyes, anticipating Aoshi's actions. Seeing 
Misao lying still, he used a finger to graze mischievously between 
her thighs and gathered some moisture on the tip. Misao responded 
hungrily and tried to pull on Aoshi's free hand, her brilliant blue 
eyes pleading for more. Aoshi repeated his actions but only to stop 
in the middle. 

	"Aoshi-sama..." groaned Misao and bit on her lower lip. "It 
feels so good... Don't stop..." 

	"Don't worry," pledged Aoshi and began moving his finger in 
circular motions round the center of her pleasure. Misao gasped in 
delight and her hands held onto the corners of the futon tightly, her 
knuckles turning a pale shade of white in the silver rays of the 
moonlight. 

	"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Misao half-screamed and sucked in the cool air. 
"Aoshi-sama!" panted Misao breathlessly. Aoshi flashed her a small 
smile and gave her sensitive nub a flick before driving his finger 
deep inside her, slowly raising her to the final point of release. 
Moving in and out of her quickly, Aoshi tentatively slipped a second 
digit into her. Dabbing at his forehead with the back of his free 
hand, Aoshi felt himself growing more and more aroused. Beads of 
sweat rolled down his forehead as he watched Misao's fiery reactions 
to his foreplay, and his chest was already covered by a thin film of 
perspiration. 

	"Aoshi-sama... Please..." Misao yelled as softly as 'yelling' 
permitted and her grip on the edge of the futon was growing stronger 
and stronger every slow minute which ticked by, waves of intense 
pleasure washing through her. 

	Suddenly, Aoshi drew his fingers out of her and leaned against 
Misao again, this time facing her. Using his elbows and knees to 
support his body weight, he was careful not to crush her. Misao's 
face was silhouetted by the moonlight, making her look very dainty 
and fragile. Bringing his slick fingers to his mouth, he lick at them 
slowly, watching in glee as Misao's eyes widened in amusement. Aoshi 
brought his face closer to the girl's until their lips were nearly 
touching. Flicking his tongue, he tasted Misao's lips and ran the tip 
impishly across her pearly teeth in her slightly opened mouth as 
Misao's chest heaved from the exertion just moments ago. With his 
tongue still in her warm mouth, he brought his lips on hers to join 
them together. Aoshi carefully manipulated his tongue to swirl in 
Misao's mouth and the girl's came alive by playing a game with his. 
At last, Aoshi broke free of his kiss and rolled to Misao's side, his 
blue-gray eyes shutting to take a short break. Determined to make 
Misao frustrated and anxious, Aoshi decided to ignore her. 

	"Is that all?" asked Misao in a disappointed tone, the gleam in 
her eyes obviously showing frustration. Reaching over to encircle 
Aoshi in an intimate embrace, she stroked his chest lovingly. Aoshi 
didn't answer her but through half-closed eyes, he took note of 
Misao's silent yearning for his touch. Laughing mentally, Aoshi 
decided to stay quiet for the moment. Seeing no reaction from Aoshi, 
Misao got braver and began caressing her Okashira down the sides of 
his torso, her fingers stopping their gentle touch to massage Aoshi's 
thighs. 

	Aoshi breathed in deeply and tried to keep his raging passion 
under control. Suddenly, he felt a delicate pair of hands slide up 
and down his hardened member. Aoshi's eyes snapped open and looked 
down. Misao was already straddling his hips with her back facing him 
with the moonlight clearly highlighting her body shape. Aoshi held 
back a guttural groan as the girl's hands began to feel him in 
detail. The young man swallowed another moan by force when a finger 
traced the head of his engorged sex and stopped at the tip. Just 
then, the distinct clank of a metal object sounded and Aoshi froze. 

	The flat side of his kodachi was resting on his abdomen, its 
cold touch sending shivers down Aoshi's nerves. "Don't struggle, 
Aoshi-sama, I may nick you accidentally..." Misao giggled and turned 
her attention to his protruding length. Aoshi swallowed and held his 
breath. 

	"Aoshi-sama, I don't care whether you are listening or not but 
it's my turn to have some fun," announced the girl and ran her 
fingers along the underside of his manhood. "Kakkoi... It's even 
bigger than Kamatari's..." murmured Misao in awe, her fingers 
caressed the most sensitive part of Aoshi. After touching every 
single detail of Aoshi, Misao let out a soft giggle when her index 
finger dabbed at the drop of clear liquid at tip of his lengthened 
sex. Feeling the wetness between her thumb and index finger, Misao 
rubbed her bare torso against Aoshi's chest and reached up to smear 
the sticky substance onto Aoshi's lips and brought the kodachi 
upwards, placing it near her Okashira's neck. Kissing him, Misao 
tasted him and liked it immediately. 

	"Aoshi-sama, do you like me?" asked Misao playfully and drew 
the weapon across Aoshi's collarbone. "Don't forget I'm not stupid... 
You know how sharp your kodachi is, ne?" 

	"Misao, don't forget I'm your Okashira. I am the one who taught 
you the Sankatsu Tobikunai technique," answered Aoshi and gazed 
deeply into Misao's beautiful eyes. "Don't ever underestimate me." 

	"Ahhhhh!!!" shouted Misao and went tumbling off Aoshi, her hand 
now empty as the sharp weapon sliced through the air neatly and 
landed harmlessly a few feet away. "Hey, it's unfair!" protested 
Misao and crossed her arms over her chest, her lips twisted into a 
pout while her body was on full display. Aoshi sucked in the cool 
night air as the silver rays highlighted every single detail of 
Misao's body, sending a tingling feeling down to his sex. At the same 
time, Misao gazed at his member and giggled. "Aoshi-sama?" 

	"I'm still the Okashira after all," shrugged Aoshi and flashed 
her a frosty smile. "Besides, your initiation isn't over yet." Upon 
finishing the sentence, Aoshi lunged at Misao and caught her in his 
arms. Securing Misao on the futon with his tight grip, Aoshi bent 
down and whispered into her ears, "I'll show you what the 'real' 
initiation process really is." 

	"Demo..." 

	Aoshi drew closer and kissed her on the cheeks. "Now just try 
to wrap your legs around my waist. You will feel more comfortable 
this way," directed Aoshi calmly, his eyes showing hints of desire 
thus betraying his unruffled outer control. Slowly, Misao raised her 
legs and locked them with her ankles on Aoshi's back. 

	"Good..." whispered Aoshi encouragingly and shifted to poise 
the tip of his member at her entrance. "Misao, am I really your 
first?" asked Aoshi for the second time that night, his alert eyes 
searching her face for an answer. 

	"Yes..." 

	"Then this will hurt for a while... I still can call off the 
initiation if you aren't ready," offered Aoshi, his heart feeling a 
slight twinge of guilt when he gave Misao a choice. *After all, she 
is still an innocent girl... Really, I shouldn't do this...* thought 
Aoshi and braced himself with his arms. He take a deep breath, trying 
to keep his guard up and not let Misao see how desperate he was to 
release the sexual tension in him. 

	"Aoshi-sama, don't ever look down at me," Misao said through 
gritted teeth, trying to contain her yearning for Aoshi to fill the 
empty space within her. "I'm the present Okashira of the Onmitsu 
Oniwabanshuu." 

	"Alright, don't scream or anything... I don't want to wake the 
entire Aoiya up," Aoshi spoke in a low tone and proceeded to kiss 
her, hoping to muffle any loud screams. Inching forward, he entered 
Misao cautiously, half afraid to hurt her. Misao squeezed her eyes 
shut, concentrating hard on every movement Aoshi made. 

	The girl's tender muscles stretched to make place for him and 
Aoshi was already feeling jolts of ecstasy. *Kami-sama... Misao's 
telling the truth... No-one has touched her before me,* Aoshi grunted 
mentally as he continued to make his way through the tight 
passageway. Misao was already starting to moan lowly through the kiss 
as her fingernails dug into Aoshi's shoulders, leaving deep crescent-
shaped marks. 

	Suddenly, he stopped moving. Time seemed to stop flowing at 
that moment and there wasn't a single sound around, save for their 
soft breathing. With a sudden thrust, he drove upwards, taking her 
virginity. 

	"Waaaaaaaahhhhh!!!" screamed Misao and pulled Aoshi closer to 
her with her arms. A burning pain shot up her body and she let out 
another shrill scream before a pair of lips sealed themselves tightly 
on hers. Gradually, she broke the kiss and sobbed in Aoshi's chest, 
the pain shaking her feminine frame with tears slipping down her 
cheeks. "Aoshi-sama... It hurts..." whimpered the girl softly and 
held Aoshi closer with her arms. . 

	"Shush, Okina would hear us," consoled Aoshi and hugged her 
back, trying his best to ease the pain she was experiencing. "Misao, 
it's only for a moment and the pain will go away," whispered the more 
experienced man and gave her a soft kiss on her forehead, waiting for 
her anguish to ebb. Upon hearing Okina's name, Misao quickly bit her 
lower lip and looked up at her Okashira. After a few silent moments 
in Aoshi's arms, she whispered, "Aoshi-sama, I think I'm okay now...
The discomfort is subsiding..." 

	"Really? You are a fast healer," said Aoshi in awe and began 
rocking against her rhythmically, trying to get Misao to move with 
him. Another burst of contagious giggling floated up his ears and 
registered faintly in his mind. Keeping his control in check, Aoshi 
breathed heavily on her, "Misao if you don't stop giggling, you are 
going to spoil the entire thing and I'll fail you." 

	"This is fun, Aoshi-sama... I can't help it," said Misao 
breathlessly; her legs wrapping themselves around Aoshi even tighter 
than before, trying to push him into deeper into her. Moaning 
incoherently, Aoshi bucked up and crashed into her again, making 
Misao cry out in ecstasy. Her body throbbing and her mind pounding, 
the girl began to move with him. 

	Gradually, Misao's conscious began to fade, leaving only the 
feeling of Aoshi's wild tempo together with his pulsating manhood 
moving rapidly in her. Squinting her eyes, she tried to focus on 
Aoshi's face. His eyebrows were met in a deep frown and Misao let out 
a peal of laugher. *Aoshi-sama looks as if he is doing his 
paperwork...* Misao thought before pleasure began rippling through 
her body, causing the muscles within her to contract around him. 

	"Don't giggle," growled Aoshi softly again and groaned, nearly 
losing his control. Regaining his speed and rhythm, Aoshi continued 
to satisfy his physical hunger for attention and warmth while Misao 
ground her lithe body against him, each seeking more joy. The girl 
winced when Aoshi's mouth found its way to her neck, leaving an 
imprint of teeth marks on her pale skin. She groaned again, the 
pain and bliss blurring into a single form. Determined to let Aoshi 
feel the same, Misao took a firm hold on his back with her 
fingernails. When another shock of ecstasy shook her, the girl drew 
her fingers quickly across his bare skin, carving four deep trenches. 
Aoshi groaned softly and brought his lips down on hers in full force. 

	Suddenly, Aoshi came to a halt above her and held his breath. 
Then, an unanticipated blast of exhilaration hit them in full force, 
soaring them to the highest level of joy. Swirling with Aoshi in a 
huge vortex of blinding colors and pleasure, Misao cried and sobbed 
with its power as it elevated them into a heaven-like state. 

	Collapsing on top of her with exhaustion, Aoshi sighed 
contentedly and nuzzled his face against her neck. "Doumo, Misao..." 
whispered Aoshi and closed his eyes for a rest. Misao acknowledged 
with a slight nod and embraced him with her arms. 

	Seeing Aoshi's serene expression, Misao smiled wryly and 
yawned. Slowly nodding off to sleep, a question surfaced in her fuzzy 
mind. "Aoshi-sama, did I pass the initiation?" asked the girl 
quietly, her voice trembling. 

	"Why do you ask?" mumbled Aoshi, his mind growing alert. 
Rolling off Misao, he looked at her sideways, his eyes twinkling with 
amusement. 

	"I was worried I didn't do well enough to please you..." 

	"Yes, you did your very best this time, but you failed anyway," 
laughed Aoshi and leaned over to give her a small peck on the cheek. 

	"Why?" asked Misao curiously, her heart feeling a strange 
feeling of relief. 

	"Because you are not going to be the Okashira of the Onmitsu 
Oniwabanshuu anyway. You are going to be the fiancee of the leader," 
explained Aoshi and pulled her closer to his body, holding back a 
snicker when Misao's eyes widened in pure shock. 

	"Huh? Aoshi-sama?" questioned Misao anxiously. "What fiancee?" 

	Aoshi sighed and enclosed her in his protective hug. "I may 
want a woman to take care of Aoiya one day. By the way, don't call me 
'Aoshi-sama' again when there is only the two of us around. I don't 
like formalities so just call me Aoshi." 

	"Wait, I want another chance! I want another initiation! I... 
I kinda liked it, Aoshi..." confessed Misao, a crimson shade creeping 
up to her cheeks. "Aoshi..." repeated Misao, secretly heaving a 
blissful sigh and reached to brush Aoshi's bangs away from his eyes. 
She swallowed anxiously, waiting for Aoshi's answer. Besides, she 
just wanted to be more intimate with the man she admired and loved 
all these years. 

	"Fine then, I'll give you another chance... When do you want 
it?" Aoshi gave in after a stony silence and blew his warm breath 
over her silky hair. A hand reached behind him to dab to the 
trickling blood from the scratches. Frowning at red stain, he 
continued, "But promise me, don't ever make me bleed again... The 
rest will suspect something when one of them changes the bed spread." 

	"Anytime, but not now..." smiled Misao and snuggled closer to 
his well-developed chest, her face showing obvious signs of fatigue. 
"You are all I want at this moment and don't ever leave me alone 
again." 

	At the girl's words, Aoshi felt appreciated and he experienced 
the peace and serenity which he was trying to find all these years. 
Tonight, Aoshi had finally released the pent-up emotions in his 
heart, thus opening his mind to a wider perspective. He sighed 
internally, his hand stroking Misao's long tresses lovingly. *Ai 
shite, Misao,* whispered the young man softly and cradled the girl in 
his arms. 

	He owed all of this to Misao. 

	Aoshi smiled softly and pulled the blanket from the foot of the 
futon before covering the both of them with it. Drifting off to 
sleep, the pair lay entwined in each other's arm, each trying to find 
more warmth. For the first time in years, nightmares did not come and 
go, leaving Aoshi free of burdens and responsibilities. 

	Maybe those deep wounds in his heart would close and heal one 
day. 

	One day... 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

	"Kurojou, did you hear some strange noises last night?" asked a 
sleepy voice as two pairs of feet walked along the wooden floor 
planks of the long corridor. 

	"So it wasn't just me who heard those soft moans and groans... 
There were even a couple of screams," answered another male voice and 
yawned. "Do you think the Aoiya is haunted?" 

	Shirojou shrugged and continued walking down the narrow path. 
"By the way, I wonder if Okashira heard those sounds too," wondered 
the young man and stopped in front of Aoshi's room. He knocked softly 
on Aoshi's sliding door with his knuckles and waited. 

	No response. 

	He knocked again, this time with Kurojou looking curiously, as 
if trying to see through the white paper. "Okashira?" he called out 
softly. Normally, by this time, Aoshi would have woke up and gone 
downstairs to have breakfast. 

	"Hey, what are the two of you doing here?" asked a voice behind 
them and the duo looked around in shock. 

	"Omasu, it's you," sighed Kurojou in pure relief. "I thought it 
was Okina. Anyway, we are just trying to call Okashira for his 
breakfast." 

	"Heh! Don't worry about Okina. He was drunk yesterday night and 
he is still sleeping peacefully," retorted Omasu and placed the 
bucket of dirty laundry on the floor with a soft thud. "Okashira 
isn't up yet? That's strange." 

	Suddenly, a throat was cleared and the three of them gazed 
straight into Aoshi's solemn face. "Ah, Okashira, it's you... Ohayo," 
greeted Omasu politely before a shrill voice rang out. 

	"Aoshi! Remember, my clothes are on the topmost shelf!" 

	Aoshi froze on the spot, a bead of sweat trickled down his 
forehead slowly. Ignoring those dazed looks he received, he quickly 
turned around and strode towards Misao's quarters. 

	"Did you hear what I heard?" began Kurojou in a whisper. 

	"H... Hai... Misao-chan is asking Okashira to bring over her 
clothes," answered Omasu, her hands already shaking. 

	"I hope Okashira won't mind if we take a peek into his room..." 
suggested Shirojou and pointed at the small gap between the door 
frame and sliding entrance. Carefully, the trio looked into the room. 

	"Kami-sama... It's a mess..." commented Shirojou, his eyes 
glaring at the strewn pieces of torn fabric lying around. 

	"Look! Misao-chan's there in Okashira's bedding!" exclaimed 
Kurojou, his eyes fixed on the female figure resting under a thick 
blanket. 

	"Wrong, it's a 'naked' Misao-chan," corrected Omasu, her eyes 
narrowing at the sight of Misao's exposed shoulder. She sniffed at 
the air softly and detected a soft and tingling smell. 

	The smell of sex. 

	"Kurojou, Shirojou, let's leave them alone," said Omasu and 
sighed happily. "Misao-chan's a grown girl now." 

	"How do you know?" 

	Omasu flashed a small smile and picked up her laundry bucket 
again. "Things can be strange sometimes." 

	When Shirojou and Kurojou were out of earshot, a tear slipped 
past Omasu's eye. Quickly, she dabbed it away and regained her 
composure. 

	*Okashira, you have finally made your choice...* 

	Another tear rolled down and landed quietly on the wooden floor 
planks.
