Disclaimer: Yeah, Yeah, I don't own them.. I don't own the song too.
A/N Heck, I'm really writing overtime. I love it even more than doing math. (Sorry Ms. Sy and Mr. Palomares, demo I really do). I'm a kid so I have to be kept occupied right? Well, I hope you enjoy it!
"Why weren't you there when I needed you?!" demanded Soujiro as he fought with Kenshin.
I'm standin' on the bridge, I'm waitin' in the dark I thought that you'd be here by now
(Soujiro remembers the times he had when he was a mere boy as he fought)
Soujiro, where in the world do you think you're going? You didn't even finish taking the rice to the granary!" "Hai Hai," answered little Soujiro as he continued to carry the rice on his back.
There's nothing but the rain, no footsteps on the ground I'm listening but there's no sound
"Soujiro, what do you think you're doing? Get out of that bed and work!"
Isn't anyone trying to find me Won't somebody come take me home
(Snaps back to the present)
"No one ever took me in when I was a boy because I was weak. The weak shall die and the strong shall survive!"
It's a damn cold night Tryin' to figure out this life
"You don't understand, Seta Soujiro. It doesn't mean that you lived like that others have to live like that too," protested Kenshin Soujiro gripped his sword. "I don't believe you. I never had a life to start with!"
Won't you, take me by the hand take me somewhere new I don't know who you are, but I'm. I'm with you
(Remembers the first time he met with Shishio)
"Please take me with you," begged Soujiro. Shishio looked at him. "We don't know each other." Soujiro looked up with innocent eyes. "Please take me. I know I'd be a good lad. I can't take my life any longer. Please Mister."
I'm lookin' for a place I'm searchin' for a place Is anybody here I know
(Lands on his feet)
"I only had a life to live when I only had myself to depend on," he said to Kenshin. "You never came. I needed someone, but you never came!"
Coz nothing's goin' right, and everything's a mess I know what it is like to be alone
(Loses to Kenshin in the battle)
"I can't lose," he cried and looked up. "I can't be this weak." Kenshin looked at him. "No one says you're weak," he reminded him. Soujiro looked at him. "Demo, I lost the battle," he protested. Kenshin put his sword in the sheath. " Hai, you did. Demo.You won over yourself, Seta Soujiro."
Why is everythin' so confusing? Maybe I'll just start off my mind
"Won over myself? What do you mean?
Take me by the hand take me somewhere new
Kenshin smiled. "You won over the battle that is in your heart. You're free of all of it, Soujiro. All of the hurt inside you," he explained. "Hurt?" Soujiro repeated. Kenshin looked at him. "I know you feel them through all of those smiles of yours. I can tell by the looks of your eyes."
I don't know who you are, but I, I'm with you
A/N I thought about it when I was watching the show. Actually I wasn't thinking about writing a songfic, but oh well. It might be better than what I was originally thinking anyway. Soujiro was kind of cute when he was a kid, wasn't he? R&R please.Anything you want is accepted.
