I don't own Rurouni Kenshin or 'Forgive Me' by Evanescence.
Hi... This is my first song fic and I hope everyone likes it.
Forgive Me
By animegirl2121
Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you
"Aoshi-sama." My eyes opened, but I did not look at Misao. "I brought you some tea." Every time I felt her presence it disturbed me. It was a test on my self-control.
"Arigato." I took the tiny teacup she handed me and sipped it slowly. She stared at me, but I refused to meet her eyes. Misao took a deep breath as if preparing for something.
"Aoshi-sama... I... I love you." I said nothing and turned my eyes towards her. Coldly. She looked at me hesitantly and reached out for me. I thought she was going to remove the teacup from my hands, but instead she held my arm gently. "I know you already know, and have known since I was young, but, I had to tell you myself." I jerked my arm away from her tantalizing grasp, although I relished the short-lived contact.
"Misao. Please leave," I stated coldly.
"Aoshi-sama, but I..." she began.
I stood up. I could not control my actions anymore. "Misao, just get out of here! I don't need you!" I shouted. It was more of me telling myself that, trying to deny the truth that stared me in the face every day. It had been a very long time since I had shouted at anyone and the first time I had shouted at Misao.
I heard the words come out
I felt like I would die
It hurt so much to hurt you
Right away I regretted yelling. She had stood up abruptly and stared at me. She could not see my inner battle and I felt myself becoming helpless. Her eyes were brimming with unshed tears and just the sight of her beginning to cry filled me with remorse and guilt, more guilt than I could take.
Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently brokenShe was so silent I was afraid. Afraid of what I had done to her. Her fragile heart was breaking and I was the one that had broken it.
I'd give anything now
To hear those words from you
Now more than ever, I wanted her happy spirit to appear and to act like nothing had happened. I didn't want to see her hurt or crying. All I wanted was for her to be happy.
Each time I say something I regretI cry, "I don't want to lose you."
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.
"Misao..." I said quietly, trying hard to control my tone. 'It's time she moved on,' I thought.
"Aoshi-sama, I will never leave you." I stared at her with wide eyes, unable to believe what she had just said. She stood stiffly, looking longingly at me. I pulled her into a hug and it was her turn to be surprised. Instantly she hugged me back, resting her cheek on my chest.
Why...?
'Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me"Misao," I breathed, "without you, I wouldn't be able to live... You make me complete." She breathed in sharply and began to cry. I could feel her tears dampening my shirt and the sobs that shook her body. I hugged her tighter to try to keep her from trembling.
So stay with me
You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry.
"Misao, please don't ever leave me."
She looked up at me with her large, crystal blue eyes and said, "Never. Aishiteru itsumo, Aoshi..."
And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt youI'm so sorry... I never meant to hurt you...
A/N: Well, I hope that everyone liked it. Aoshi was kind of OOC though, sorry. -_- Well, please review...
Arigato – Thank you
Aishiteru itsumo – I love you forever
