Disclaimer: Gomennasai, I don't own RK. And sadly, I don't own the song A Thousand Miles. The songs is Vanessa Carlton's. And, I don't own the episode: The Girl Bandit: Misao Makimachi's Hidden Side, either. But I did get some lines from that one.

a/n: I really love this song, and remember this is Misao's POV. R&R!!!

"A Thousand Miles"

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

When I was younger, there was always someone there to carry me, and to guide me. I never thought I'd ever meet someone like him. After something happened to my parents, I didn't think I would meet someone as caring as he.

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

They called him Leader'. He and this group of people, called the Oni-Waban Group', were the people who took me in. They cared for me; Henya, Shikiju, Beshimi, Hyottoko, and Aoshi-sama. They were my family.

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder.

Those people taught me everything I know about being a ninja. I loved being around these people so much. Especially Aoshi-sama. But the only thing is, I don't remember seeing him laugh or smile even once. But, he was the one who always cared for me.

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

Then that day came. The day when he left me with the old man in Kyoto.

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

And at that time, I never knew what happened to him, or the rest of the Oni-Waban Group. And not a day goes by when I wish I did. It's not that I didn't enjoy being in Kyoto with Okina, Okon, Omasu, and everyone else. But, everyday, I always wondered where Aoshi-sama was, and what happens to him.

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories

Everytime I ever heard something about Aoshi-sama or any of the Oni-Waban Group, I would go looking for them wherever they might be.

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder.

But, everytime I seem to miss them. Then I just keep hearing more rumors. Even though I never have any luck finding them anyway. But to see Aoshi-sama again, I'll keep searching until the day I die.

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

Then one day, I ran into Himura. He's fought Aoshi-sama before, and I knew that he would lead me to him. I kept following him and he brought me back home to the Aoiya.

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't.

I could never forget the day when Okina wanted Himura to slay Aoshi-sama. Even after what he had done, I still wouldn't want him dead for any reason. He disagreed. And I was so happy when Himura promised that he would bring him back here.

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

I bet I've been all over Japan, searching for him and the Oni-Waban Group. And then when I heard about their deaths, I was broken hearted. But from I knew, Aoshi-sama was still alive somewhere.

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd

Then, the day when Himura returned. Him, Tori-atama, and someone else. It was a dark night, and there was someone else there. I couldn't make it out clearly, but it was who I thought it was. Long trenchcoat, and tall. Himura had brought Aoshi-sama back!

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder.

He was always at the temple, meditating. I would see him everyday, and I would always want to tell him how I really feel. How much I've worried for him, how glad I am that he's back, and how much I love him. But, for some reason, the words just never got out. But now, he doesn't have to say anything. All I'm waiting for him to do, is smile. Smile at me.

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you

I'll continue to watch him until the day I die, just waiting for the day I see him smile for me. And now that I know Aoshi-sama's back, safe and sound, I know I'll never have to walk a thousand miles to look for him again.

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight.
