Now Misao and Aoshi have an odd relationship. Some people say Kaouru and Kenshin have  a complex one...ARE THEY OUTTA THEIR MINDS?!!! (no offence people!) But c'mon! They have said that they love each other in the first ten episodes of RK! How complex is that? We know that Misao loves Aoshi... but what about him? I know he cares about her a lot... and I read somewhere that he was also very protective of her... but when? 
Does he think that she's too small for him? He doesn't pay her much attention anyway...
Well as you already know Aoshi raised her and they were together for nine whole years but then he left her in the care of Okina. But when she found him after all those years, it was when he was trying to kill Okina! Imagine yourself as Misao...she'd been searching for so many years to find him...And at last she does...
But it's not him any more... he's changed... he's willing to kill good Okina for the sake of becoming strong... he also killed hundreds of men to do that... he betrayed the only friends he had... and now Misao, not baby Misao, but a grown `up Misao finally sees him... he tells her to never see him again because she wasn't on his side? How could she be?  He was trying to kill the one person she was closest to... besides, he was wrong... how could she be on his side? What did good ol' Misao do?
 She was stunned. And she then called Aoshi a jerk and became the Oshira herself! THAT'S real  strength... knowing that the person you love is wrong and facing that. But most of all... doing the right thing yourself.
(Eesh! I am getting too OOC!) Ahem... as I was saying... I seriously hated Aoshi then! What did he know about Misao anyway? What did he know what she went through for him? (PS.  And y'know what? Starless is playing behind me and I think I'm gonna....I'm gonna.... *wahh!!*)

Anyway, Aoshi's not THAT bad either... his mind was clouded with hate then (as Kenshin says!) and only his moronic goal was important then...but remember when in the fluff episodes after the Kyoto Arc, when Aoshi comes to take Misao back to her home when she was staying in the dojo....she got mad because Aoshi just came because Okina told him to. But then Megumi  told her that Aoshi would only do some thing if he really wanted to so that was a good sign... but in the end of this episode she gives him a paper balloon and he says "You brought me a paper balloon?!" and she says "Uh huh... it's a  souvenir and you gave me one just like it a long time ago... so I wanted to return the favor." He takes it and says... "You know Misao, you haven't changed a bit." and she says "No Aoshi... I have changed .... when you weren't looking I grew up...I'm a woman now!" and  then she scowls because she knows that he's not taking her seriously... then she says "We can talk about it sometimes if you like...." and he gives a heart breaking smile and says "Yes... I'd really like that..."
Wasn't that a great scene? But it  wouldn't been if Ken-san hadn't tried to brain wash Aoshi (well not EXACTLY brainwash...) by telling him that Misao was not a little girl now... she was a young lady, lovely and strong....
Another important scene is when in Hoji's library, when Aoshi and Kenshin were having their rematch, Kenshin for the first time tells him that Misao had declared herself the leader of the Oni gang and that she's helping to save Edo from Shishio and is defending it... and Aoshi says that "Yes, she could do it... she's very  strong..." and Kenshin says that "Yes she is... but she's just a young girl of eighteen... and she shed tears for you."  
At that was the moment when Aoshi was finally surprised.

Well, I'm just waiting for the day Misao finally gets her Aoshi-sama back. Watsuki-sensei *has* to show us how she gets him out out of the shrine and make him learn to smile and enjoy life again. If anyone can do it, it's Misao. But till then, all we can say is:

:: Long live Misao and Aoshi! ^_^
