RogueSummersLover: This song I do Not own. It belongs to Evanescence. It's called Anywhere. I just recently heard it, and thought it was perfect for a Rurouni Kenshin One-Shot. (Sigh) Anyways, just review and tell me what you think. V.v

Anywhere

By: RogueSummersLover

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

"Kaoru, Come with me. Lets run away. Start over." Kenshin's soft velvety voice rang out into the kitchen. Kaoru turned around from the sink to face him.

"Kenshin..." She started. He held up a hand to stop her from saying anything more.

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

"Kaoru, I have to leave. I can not stay here, that I can't. And I refuse to leave with out you." She looked at him for a long moment. Kaoru stared into his deep amethyst with teary eyes.

"Kenshin, were would we go? What about Yahiko? You know damned well that we can't leave him. Kenshin, Who will take care of this place? Oh, Kenshin." She looked away for a moment then continued. "...Kenshin, I would love to go with you but I can't leave here." He's eyes softened even more if possible.

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

"Kaoru, Please lets just leave. We could leave a note. Yahiko is always with Tsubame, that he is. They will protect him there. Sano and Megumi can watch over this place. Kaoru, I can't stay here anymore. I'd be damned if I left without you. Come with me?"

She didn't answer for a moment. Tears traveling down her face. "Kenshin, Where will we go?"

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the mornings light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

"Anywhere." He replied. "Somewhere far from here. Where no one knows who we are. Where it'll only be us." Kaoru turned back to face him and walked closer. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Placing her cheek against his.

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you

"Alright Kenshin. Let's leave. To go to anywhere." She sighed heavily. Kenshin smiled lightly. "I'll go to anywhere with you." She turned her head slightly and placed a small, shy kiss on his cheek.

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now.

"To anywhere." They whispered together still snuggled against each other.

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the mornings light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason
