From: kenshinkawaii@yahoo.com Song by dc Talk Songfic by Myki-chan (My first songfic. Just imagine it like a music video.) Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. I'm just borrowing. EHeh heh ^_^ WARNING: Spoilers and alotta WAFFs (I think.) GODSEND (Background music starts.) [An overview of Tokyo is shown, then the camera shifts to show a close up overview of the Kamiya Dojo. Camera zooms into the dojo yard. Kenshin is seen doing the laundry. He's stooping next to a wooden tub scrubbing a white gi. Kaoru sat upright on the porch, behind Kenshin, just staring at him.] Hoping praying, I've been waiting Everybody needs somebody to love [A sudden gust of wind ruffled Kenshin's hair and did the same to Kaoru. She tucked some stray strands behind one ear and closed her eyes. A lone tear escapes her thick lashes as she savour the agony of her past. A scene of a 6-year-old Kaoru, sitting in the rain. She's crying because of her mother's death. Another rainy scene, but this time Kaoru is 17. She's crying because of her father's death. She stood in the dojo yard, hands folded in front, hugging herself. She tilted her face towards the raging sky, allowing the stinging droplets to consume her tears stricken face. The rain washed away her tears but new ones quickly replaced them. End of flashback.] There's no question, straight from heaven You're my angel. I'm so crazy for you. [Kaoru wiped away her lone tear with a trembling palm. She opens her eyes only to be greeted by the heart warming scene in front of her. Almost noticing for the first time, she stared intensively at Kenshin. His back is still turned towards her. She let out a sigh in admiration. The morning sun brightened Kenshin's trademark colors. His hair was almost a deep shade of orange with specks of gold where the sun light was reflected. Even his worn out gi and hakama appeared bright and new.] You're a Godsend A blessing from above [Kaoru got off the porch. She stood, staring at Kenshin. Her face held no expression but her eyes were moist with welling tears.] You've been God-sent to me [She takes a step towards him.] You're the Godsend I've been dreaming of [She slowly proceeded towards Kenshin. He tensed and sat upright as he felt someone approaching, then relaxed when he sensed who it was, but he now has a nervous expression on his face.] You're a Godsend [Kaoru walked around Kenshin and knelt down infront of him. He looked up with innocent violet eyes. They stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds until Kaoru looked down, at the wash tub, blushing. Both of Kenshin's hands are immersed in suds. They were motionless. Kaoru reached her hands into the tub and brought out his hands in hers. Kenshin looked shocked from her bold and forward act. Kaoru stared into his eyes confidently but then a blush slowly colored her cheeks.] Holding your hand, touching your face [Kenshin broke out of his shocked expression and gave her a warm smile. His right hand slipped easily out of her left hand. She looked hurt for a split second. Then he reached out to touch her cheek, stroking it gently.] I will love you now and always I swear. [He now smiled mischievously, and within a flash, placed a cluster of soap bubbles on the tip of her nose. He chuckled softly in sheer amusement. Kaoru scooped up a handful of bubbles and stuffed it in Kenshin's face. She burst out laughing. The two were soon engaged in a bubble fight. Bubbles were flying everywhere like falling snow. In an attempt to stop her from stuffing anymore bubbles up his nose, Kenshin grabbed Kaoru's wrists. But she slipped on a bar of soap and fell backwards, pulling Kenshin along, causing him to land on top of her. Their faces are now kissably close. Kenshin stared deeply into her blue eyes.] I will never forget that first moment we met. [Flashback to an early morning where fogs covered the streets of Tokyo. Kenshin walked alone, then turned around to see a beautiful young woman. She shouts accusations at him and then charges at him with a wooden sword. He marveled at her strong will and beauty.] When two worlds collided And I found my best friend. [Another flashback: Kaoru is throwing things at Sanosuke for insulting her cooking but Sano was using Kenshin for cover. Pieces of food and crockery bashed into Kenshin's head. He held up his hands in a meager protest. Another scene, by the river, under a bridge. Kenshin is sitting on a log. Kaoru walks infront of him. He looks up into her face in confusion and anticipation. With one fluid motion, she pulled out her blue hair ribbon. Bluish black strands of hair spilled past her shoulders and cascaded down her back. She extends her arms towards him, offering her blue ribbon as a parting gift. End of flashback] You're a Godsend A blessing from above [Back to the present scene. They are still on the ground, each lost in his own thoughts. Kaoru's eyes slowly closed and her lips are slightly parted. Kenshin's eyes widened and he pulled back, afraid of what he was tempted to do. He sat with his back to her, hugging his knees. Kaoru sat up, tears filled her eyes. ] You've been God-sent to me [Her lips trembled as the full impact of rejection hit her in the heart. Thoughts flooded her shaken mind. Why don't you want me? Do you still feel that you're unworthy of me? Or is it your past? Or is it ...her? You still love her. You still love Tomoe-san ...] You're a Godsend [She extends an arm towards him, reaching out to touch his back but withdrew on a second thought. Sadly, she looked down wishing to get away. Away from his warmth and his closeness.] I was made for you, You were made for me [Suddenly, anger welled up inside of her. Her facial expression changed to that of anger and desperation. She reached out for Kenshin's shoulders and yanked him down on the ground beside her. He looked scared and tears streamed out of his eyes. He's been crying. He was hurting too. Kaoru felt a pang of sympathy as she witnessed his tear filled eyes. No. She has to do this. She has to get through to him. She leaned over him, her face directly above his. She stared into his violet orbs, piercing through all his protective barriers. She spoke, not with words, but, with her eyes. You have to let go of the past, Kenshin. It wasn't your fault. You didn't kill her in cold blood. You deserve to be happy in this peaceful era. You fought so hard for it. You sacrificed you childhood and innocence for it. It's ok. You're with me now. I want this so much. Aishiteru, aishiteru.] In this lonely world We were meant to be in love [Kaoru's expression softened. She smiled down at him. He looked up into her face, slightly shaking from his previous sobbings. A close up view of Kenshin's eyes as he thought of his cherished past moments. Flashback: A beautiful morning scene. Everyone is gathered under a tree in the dojo yard eating. Kaoru looked very excited to let her friends eat what she's cooked. Everyone has a grim expression, except for Kenshin, who was enjoying the food, regardless of it's taste. ] I will never forget That first moment we met [Another scene. Kaoru is in the bath tub when Kenshin opened the door, about to run in. His concerned expression turned to that of shock, then embarassment and then shame. Later on Kaoru punished him for it, by locking him up in the storage room.] When two worlds they crashed in And I found my best friend [A night scene by the river. There were lots of fire flies. Their lights flickering and reflecting on the water like little fairies. Kenshin and Kaoru are seen hugging. Kaoru was crying and Kenshin was whispering into her ear. Whispering things that she didn't want to hear. He was leaving her, to become a wanderer again. He was leaving...] You're a Godsend A blessing from above [Back to the present. Kaoru slowly closed her eyes and parted her lips, another invitation to be kissed. Afraid of another rejection, she lowered her head and made lip to lip contact. But it wasn't a kiss yet--] You've been God-sent to me [Kenshin's lips parted and almost immediately, the lip to lip contact blossomed into a passionate kiss.] You're the Godsend I've been dreaming of [Locked in a tight embrace and a passionate kiss, their bodies rocked slowly in unison. And little by little, their movements slowed down until they came to a halt. Lips finally parted and they breathed heavily. They ventured into each other's eyes, savouring the after shocks of the kiss. Their first kiss. It felt so fulfilling and satisfying --for the moment at least.] You're a Godsend [They knew that this was not it. There's still a lot more they can do to feel even more fulfilled and satisfied. But all in due time--at the right time. This closeness was enough for now. This was special just the way it is. Nothing more is needed--for now. Kenshin got up, bringing Kaoru along. He carried her to the porch and set her down gently. He sat next to her and she leaned her head on his shoulder. His arm went around her and pulled her closer. They sat in a loose embrace, just looking out at the dojo yard and thinking of a new beginning, a life together and a bond to last for an eternity.] (Music slowly fades.)
