It's Your Love

Music starts.
 

Night.
 

Kenshin walks around the Kamiya Dojo restless. He checks the grounds and then the inside of the house.

Yea, yea

Dancin' in the dawn, middle of the night
 

He stops outside of Kaoru's door. Light shines from inside the room showing she is still awake.
 

Takin' your heart and holdin' it tight

Emotional touch, touchin' my skin

And asking you to do what you've been doin' all over again
 

A nostalgic look crosses over Kenshin's face
 

Oh it's a beautiful thing, don't think I can keep it all in

I just gotta let you know what it is that won't let me go
 

Kenshin reaches out to knock on the door but hesitates. Thoughts of Kaoru flash through his mind.
 

It's your love
 

Kaoru smiling.
 

It just does something to me

It sends a shock right through me
 

Kaoru walking through town in a kimono.
 

I can't get enough

And if you wonder
 

Kaoru practicing in the dojo.
 

About the spell I'm under

Oh it's your love
 

Kenshin watching Kaoru doing all of these things with a small smile on his face.
 

Better than I was,
 

Image of Kenshin wandering around Japan.
 

More than I am
 

Flash of Kenshin readying himself for a fight.
 

And all of this happened by taking your hand
 

Kaoru reaches out her hand to Kenshin as they walk back to the dojo after returning from Kyoto.
 

And who I am now is who I wanted to be
 

Kenshin takes her and walks beside her.
 

And now that we're together,

I'm stronger than ever

I'm happy and free
 

Typical scenes of the Kenshin-gumi around the dojo flash by... Kaoru and Yahiko arguing playfully... Megumi wrapping Sano's hand... Kaoru laughing at something someone had said.
 

Oh it's a beautiful thing,

Don't think I can keep it all in

If you asked me why I've changed,

All I gotta do is say your sweet name
 

Scenes of Kenshin doing the typical domestic chores, looking content and enjoying the company of those around him.
 

It's your love

It just does something to me
 

Kenshin remembers fighting for Kaoru.
 

It sends a shock right through me

I can't get enough
 

First against Gohei.
 

And if you wonder

About the spell I'm under
 

Then against Jinnei.
 

Oh, it's your love

Baby, Oh oh, oh,
 

Finally, thinking of her to keep fighting against Shishio.
 

Musical bridge.
 

Shots of Kaoru looking worried each time Kenshin leaves for battle and her relief when he returns.
 

Oh it's a beautiful thing,

Don't think I can keep it all in
 

Shot of Kenshin holding Kaoru in the cloud of fireflies as he said goodbye when leaving for Kyoto.
 

I just gotta let you know what it is that won't let me go
 

Nervously, Kenshin knocks on the door.
 

It's your love

It just does something to me
 

Inside the room a form shifts.
 

It sends a shock right through me

I can't get enough
 

Upon hearing her voice, Kenshin slides the door open to reveal Kaoru sitting in the room reading. She is dressed for sleeping and her hair is loose.
 

And if you wonder

About the spell I'm under,
 

Kenshin steeles himself and swallows anxiously.
 

Oh it's your love

It's your love, it's your love, it's your love
 

Opening his mouth to speak, Kenshin slides the door closed.
 

Owari...



Author's Notes- Dang this was hard to write... after I finally found the lyrics to the song, I started and quit this thing about five times in one day. But the idea wouldn't go away... I know this fic isn't that good but it was either write it or go insane every time I heard this song. <sigh>

This little song fic came about after receiving a huge amount of Kenshin and buying Tim McGraw's "Everywhere" CD on the same day. Every song I listen to reminds me of a different character (I've got Kenshin on the brain <sigh>). It is dedicated to all of the romantic fics that have been going around lately.

"It's Your Love" originally sung by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Yes this is country... you got a problem with that?^_^
