C&C is very welcome! ---------------------- Show me the meaning of being lonely: a Sano and Megumi Songfic by lily-dono ---------------------- Kenshin and Kaoru had just invited everyone over tot the dojo to announce their engagement. Naturally, everyone was happy, or were they? After the festivities, Megumi walked back to the clinic. She didn't notice that Sano was trailing her. She went inside and sat down by a table. He stayed outside. 'What's troubling Fox Lady?' he wondered. Megumi started talking hoping that it would bring relief. "I was such a fool. It was so obvious Himura loves Kamiya..." 'So that's what bothering her.' "I just always held onto a glimmer of hope that he would love...me, but that went out tonight." "Sure there's Sanosuke. He's a great guy, handsome and headstrong, but he's not the same. He's not Kenshin. He doesn't have the same kindness and love Kenshin does. He's not the same." She laid her head on the table and quiet sobs could be heard. Sano couldn't just stand there and let her cry. He sleathly entered the room. { music starts } [Show me the meaning of being lonely] Megumi lifts her head to see Sano. "What do you want?" she asks in a scathing voice. Sano sits down beside her. He takes his thumb and gently wipes away her tears. [So many words for the broken heart] "You heard me?" she asked. Sano nodded. [It's hard to see in a crimson love] He gets up. [So hard to breath] Megumi looks puzzled. [Walk with me and maybe] He extends his hand. Megumi accepts it and gets up. She follows him out the door as she locks it. [Nights of light so soon become] He gazes at the stars. It is a beautiful night. [Wild and free, I can feel the sun] A warm breeze blows by, tossling his spiky, brown hair. [Your every wish will be done] He looks off to a nearby road and extends his arm. She accepts and their eyes lock. She notices this and asks, "Tell me, do my eyes betray my feelings?" [They tell me...] [Show me the meaning of being lonely] Megumi says nothing to his answer. Sano leads her down the road. [Is this the feeling I need to walk with] "This is about what I said, isn't it?" she asks. [Tell me why I can't be there where you are] She goes to say something when she looks into his eyes who speak for him. [There's something missing in my heart] His eyes sadly say, "You, Megumi." She looks away and shrugs out of his grasp. She looks at the booths of merchandise of those who hadn't closed up for the night yet [Life goes on as it never end] 'He's right. One disappointment doesn't mean your life is over. It doesn't mean you can just wallow in pity,' the little voice in her head said. [Eyes of stone observe the trends] Sano watches Megumi gaze a booth of Western trinkets [They never say, or ever gaze at for me] Sano watches as she draws her eyes away. [Guilty roads to an endless love] Megumi looks back at Sano. [There's no control] "Are you talking about us?" she asks. [Are you with me now?] He extends his arm again and she accepts with a nod. [Your every wish will be done] A shooting star streaks across the sky and the couple's eyes meet once again. [They tell me...] [Show me the meaning of being lonely] 'Does he have to go there again?' Megumi thinks. [Is this the feeling I need to walk with] Sano's eyes are pleading for an answer. [Tell me why I can't be there where you are] "Sano, you know that I always wanted someone like Kenshin..." [There's something missing in my heart] His voice sounds sad, as if he was the one with the broken heart. Megumi didn't think she was strong enough to deal with a heart broken Sano now and she tries to escape his grasp, but he whirls her around to face him. [There's no where to run] [I have no place to go] [Surrender my heart, body, and soul] "Megumi, I may not be Kenshin and I may not be able to give you what he can, but I offer you all I can give. I offer you me," Sano says in a soft voice. Megumi turns around sharply. [How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show] There was a hint of anger in his voice and for once, something he says sinks in and Megumi turns around. [You are missing in my heart] [Tell me why I can't be there where you are] "Ano...we're here. Thank you for walking me home," Megumi says and quickly walks away, leaving Sano standing alone. She turns back one last time to peer at him. He has begun to walk away. [Show me the meaning of being lonely] [Is this the feeling I need to walk with] [Tell me why I can't be there where you are] [There's something missing in my heart] Sano turns back at the last phrase to glance one last time at Megumi. {music ends and fades to black} ~Owari~ --------------------------- ONElist Sponsor ---------------------------- GRAB THE GATOR!
