From: Makimachi Misao yo minna! after the long coma i've been in (called muck...ah how time consuming and addicting new hobbies can be ^^;), i've finally been able to shoot out another vidclip, and depressing as ever. i don't know, i think i may have jumped around too much as far as how it flows but considering i haven't really worked on anything in a while *shrug* ^^; anyhow, enjoy (hopefully o.o;)! _________________________________________________________________________ Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough - Patty Smyth Makimachi Misao & Shinomori Aoshi - Rurouni Kenshin _ _ _ _ _ ( A younger Aoshi stands a few a little ways behind Okina, as they both look at the little sleeping Misao. "Misao-chan...your Aoshi-sama is leaving..." Aoshi opens his mouth and takes a small step forward as if he wants to say something, but turns and walks away instead, the rest of the Oniwanbanshuu following him.) I don't wanna to lose you I don't wanna use you Just to have somebody at my side ( Fade to young Misao, training in the courtyard of the Aoiya, gradually aging and becoming more skilled. Her determination building as she gets older. In the bath, her eyes are hidden in a shadow but a single tear can be seen, suspended in the corner of her eye. ) And I don't wanna hate you I don't wanna take you But I don't wanna be the one to cry ( She walks through the halls of the Aoiya after her bath in a daze, making her way back to her room. Somehow, she ends up at the entrance of the Aoiya, where she sees a phantom image of Aoshi sliding the door opening and leaving the Aoiya. She turns to run away from the scene... ) That don't really matter to anyone, anymore But like a fool I keep losing my place And I keep seeing you walk through that door ( ...which cuts into her running after Kenshin, demanding he tell her everything he knows about Aoshi and the Oniwabanshuu. They reach the large crevasse and he tells her that Aoshi left her behind for a reason, but regardless, she jumps...and begins to fall...) There's a danger in loving somebody too much And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust There's a reason why people don't stay where they are Baby sometimes love just ain't enough ( Memories come to her as she falls to what should be her death...mostly of her simply trying to make Aoshi smile. 'Maybe Himura is right...maybe I do get in his way...' and she begins to give in to her doubt. Luckily, Kenshin saves her from such a horrible fate. As she begins to black out, her last thought is, 'Aoshi-sama...' ) Now I could never changed you I don't want to blame you Baby you don't have to take the fall ( Aoshi stands in front of the graves of his fellow Oniwabanshuu, thinking back to the day he left the Aoiya. 'I'm sure Misao must hate me for leaving her behind...but I don't want to endanger her, even if this is the new Meiji era... Once I get the title of the strongest...maybe, just maybe...' ) Yes I may have hurt you But I did not desert you Maybe I just wanna have it all ( His thoughts are interuppted by the echoing sounds of Kanryu's gatling gun, it's bullets piercing the bodies of his comrades. The gray skies do what Aoshi will not allow himself to, and weep, soaking everything with it's tears. The deep blue eyes of the Aoshi that once was vanish as he blinks, revealing cold grey-blue eyes... He closes his eyes once more... ) It makes a sound like thunder It makes me feel like rain And like a fool who will never see the truth I keep thinking something's gonna change ( ...and when he opens them, he is standing before Kenshin...their last fight that decides exactly who Shinomori Aoshi is. Kenshin tells Aoshi of his promise to Misao to return Shinomori Aoshi to her and the Aoiya...and his eyes quiver for a brief moment. Kenshin's words create an image in his mind...of Misao crying... 'How will you return to her Aoshi? As the man she saw nearly kill Okina...or as the man she knows you can be...' "Win or lose, there will be no repercussion..." He attempts to strike Kenshin with his move, but loses... ) There's a danger in loving somebody too much And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust There's a reason why people don't stay where they are Baby sometimes love just ain't enough ( As he floats through the air from the force of Kenshin's ougi, the memory of his departure from the Aoiya comes to him...or more, the way it -should- have been... He walks into her room to say good-bye, but for some reason the words get choked in his throat and won't come out. He finds himself walking over to first sit...then lie down on his back next to her small, frail sleeping form. The memory fades away to reveal the now, Aoshi still lying on his back. ) And there's no way home When it's late at night and you're all alone Are there things that you wanted to say Do you feel me beside you in your bed There beside you where I used to lay ( Finally, after Shishio has been defeated and they return to the wrecked Aoiya, finally Misao and Aoshi are reunited...somewhat. They just stand there looking at each other with solemn looks on their faces...as if something still lingers. Finally, Aoshi says evenly, "Come on. We have to finish cleaning up the Aoiya." and walks away. 'Now is not the time for... such a thing, Aoshi...' ) There's a danger in loving somebody too much And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust There's a reason why people don't stay where they are Baby sometimes love just ain't enough ( The image of his back to her changes to him meditating at the temple. Misao approaches with the umbrella and lingers for a bit behind one of the gates. 'What if I don't want to wait...' She sighs and leans against the gate. ) Baby sometimes love just ain't enough _________________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer - Some times Love Just Ain't Enough by Patty Smyth is written by Patty Smyth and Glen Burtnik.

T.T i know it seems this one ended kind of weird, but that's because i had two vidclips in mid when i started this one, and i thought it'd be kind neat if i made it as if they flowed into one another. as for how i write my stuff, i'm one of those people that envision it all in my head, and then struggle to come up with the adjectives to describe the dang thing. @.@; oh well, hopefully the next vidclip will be better and have more exotic vocabulary. *giggle* dewa abayo~! ^^ === @-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@-:-@ | Makimachi Misao - shin Onimitsu Oniwabanshuu no okashira | = a.k.a.
