How Long Gone Music starts. [Misao, about fifteen, walks along a trail carrying a pack. As she approaches the camera, it cuts off from her.] I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey [A younger Misao, maybe fourteen, pesters Okon, Omasu, and Jiya about where 'her' Aoshi-sama is.] I ain't seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays [Finally she gets fed up and decides to look for him.] Tell me how long gone are you gonna be [She packs a bag and sneaks out of the Aoiya.] All you said was you had to get goin' [Aoshi looks in on a sleeping Misao, about eight years old, before leaving.] Oh but baby I wouldn't mind knowin' just [Teenaged Misao enthusiastically questions some patrons of a restaurant about the where-abouts of a certain tall and handsome okashira.] How long gone are you gonna be [The patrons sweatdrop as she swoons at her own description of him.] How am I supposed to make any plans [Day dreaming, Misao pictures herself in a wedding kimono latched onto Aoshi's arm with the other Oniwabanshu in the background.] When I still don't even understand If you're ever gonna come back home to me [Wistfully, she thinks about everyone at the Aoiya.] Tell me please How long gone are you gonna be [But she steels herself, and continues walking.] Maybe I didn't pay enough attention [Young Misao follows Aoshi around looking at him cutely.] But I do believe you forgot to mention Just how long gone are you gonna be [Eight-year-old Misao searches around the Aoiya, looking in every nook and cranny for Aoshi.] The phone ain't ringin', cause you ain't callin' [Misao, about ten, excitedly grabs an incoming carrier pigeon to check who the message is from.] I ain't been hearin' you're footsteps fallin' [Reading it she seems disappointed.] Tell me how long gone are you gonna be [Frowning a little, she stares out the window.] How am I supposed to make any plans [Teenaged Misao questions a group of travelers on the road until they run away from the over enthusiastic girl.] When I don't even understand If you're ever gonna come back home to me [Perplexed, Misao scratches her head and looks off into the distance.] Tell me please How long gone are you gonna be [Cut back to scene of fifteen-year-old Misao passing camera on the road.] Owari. "How Long Gone" performed by Brooks & Dunn Disclaimer: I don't own there characters... please don't sue me. Author's Notes: Wow... these song-fics/vidclips are getting easier... and they are really good when you want to write but are blocked on your actual fics. This one is about Misao when she is looking for Aoshi before she meets up with Kenshin. I think she comes off a bit silly. Oh! I typed out the lyrics from the sheet so any mistakes are mine. I don't know... the this seem choppy to you guys? If you are not familiar with the song you can find a sample wav of it at http://countrywavs.inet-pro.com/bd.htm under the album If You See Her. |
