Songs that will show up in the story: (Incomplete) JourneyBy: Yours Truly.
(Who else could have sang it other than our favorite Tenken)
As for me, I shall go to my place And yet, I cannot see anything at all |
To the flowing of tears, Surely No more shall I be afraid |
The answer that man gave me Really does not suit my true self |
Perhaps I shall discover something Perhaps there is something that I cannot discover The piece of me That has hidden in my heart Only towards where the winds show me I alone shall go If somewhere I will find My unknown true self |
Having run a little too fast I feel I missed out on something |
Even such a mistake Is surely an answer |
Once more only by my pace I shall become myself, unlike anyone else |
Perhaps I shall meet someone Perhaps I shall hurt someone Only where the road leads Shall I try walking I will go, not waiting for the blade To catch it with both hands |
Perhaps I shall discover something Perhaps there is something that I cannot discover The piece of me That has hidden in my heart Only towards where the winds show me I alone shall go If somewhere I will find My unknown true self |
Koori no Naifu wo daite
By: Megumi Oogata
The bottom of my heart's lake is rimmed with ice, yet my fate is to continue living. Because of that, I'll fight to the end. |
Close to my heart, you call gently to me, but I close my ears. There is also a day I run to, Embracing the ice knife [1] |
But someday, this peace will warm the world. My frozen soul [2] will probably melt too, setting a prism free. [3] |
Until that day comes, keep on going. We are fighting. Don't stop. |
Fight to believe in the future, because that's why we're alive. Jump into believing in yourself, in order to build an era. WOH HO HO |
Surely, when the day comes that the Earth changes into a paradise, even my weapons will melt, overflown in sunlight. |
Searching for that day, keep on running. We are fighting. Go on. |
I'll cross the bridge to the future Even if it's risking my life, Even if it's a frozen bridge, I'll run across it. WOH HO HO |
Fight to believe in the future, because that's why we're alive. Jump into believing in yourself, in order to build an era. WOH HO HO |
(Going to my dream) (Fighting for my friends) (Running to my dream) (Fighting for my friends) |
'til I see a rainbow bridge built across my heart's lake |
Sayonara wa Mirai no Hajimari
By: Megumi Oogata
When the night skies open The bright stars twinkle |
I've been living in the dark Like a piercing dream in my mind |
----------I shall not forget. You, by whom this closed heart has been opened |
Today's goodbye is the beginning of tomorrow Even if we take separate paths now We shall arrive at the same place... |
Even if we had ran into each other Call it a miracle |
For we can be proud of all the days We ran together |
----------I shall walk. Taking the never-fading star of this heart |
Surely a goodbye is not a period If I go on and climb the everlasting hill I shall meet you again... |
Today's goodbye is the beginning of tomorrow If in my mind, I shall be beside you |
Surely a goodbye is not a period Even if we take separate paths now we shall arrive at one place... |
That is so A goodbye is the beginning of everything Because anyone, everyone is in the middle of a journey |
That is so A goodbye is not a period If I go on and climb the everlasting hill Someday we shall meet... |
Tooi Kono Machi de
By: Minaya Naomi
I loved that song on the old tape Little scratches, a faded title... A blurry dawn. |
And so, the day repeats itself [1] accompanied by a summer breeze In a corner of the familiar day-by-day routine I suddenly meet with loneliness |
I'll never forget how fast I could kick the wind on my bike, going however far I wanted. |
la la la la I'll sing Looking up at the sky la la la la It's my life I'll walk on Using my own strength to go forward along this endless road. |
With so many crossroads, I'm always lost, but though sometimes I wander and sometimes I fall off the path I'm living the present |
Clashing with others, accepting others... Even when I grow up I'll never forget. |
la la la la I'll sing Looking up at the sky la la la la It's my life I'll walk on It's something that's mine alone, so I guess I can have some confidence in myself |
In the town we were born in, we dreamed Everytime I'm crushed, I remember that just like that song, there's something I can do right now: step forward, even if just a little. |
la la la la I'll sing Looking up at the sky la la la la It's my life I'll walk on |
la la la la I'll sing Looking up at the sky la la la la It's my life I'll walk on, Using my own strength to go forward along this endless road. |
Keep on!
By: Maeda Ai
I'll keep on running without looking back, sunshine day I won't give in to the pain of skinned knees, adventure I'll face my future, there's nothing to be afraid of Your smile moistens my dry throat |
I'll say good-bye to that coward who lives Deep in my heart, and become a little stronger |
This time I'll take off with courage Spread the wings of my heart and fly to the unseen future Now I'm headed towards an endless sky This dream adventure has only just begun La la la... la la la... |
I'll hold your hand, let's fly away, blue sky height Your cheerful voice and smile are dazzling, paradise |
Even if I get lost in the darkness, I won't give up, I won't lose I know I'll be able to find that ray of light I don't have time to show my tears! |
From now on I'll try not to show my tears I'll open the eyes of my heart and head for the unseen future This time I'll believe and have strength I'll have the courage to stand up again La la la... la la la... |
If I hang my head and droop my shoulders I'll never arrive At the wonderful, hope filled goal |
I'll keep on running, keep on trying, I'll get stronger! |
This time I'll take off with courage Spread the wings of my heart and fly to the unseen future Now I'm headed towards an endless sky This dream adventure has only just begun La la la... la la la... |
La la la... la la la... |
Open Mind
By: Tenjin Umi
I found what I was looking for On the other side of the display My heart grasps the key To opening a door of questions |
Right now everything is unknown But everyone's with me so I can cross the wall |
Open mind, someday I'll be able to laugh naturally Things that make my heart ache are messages to me Open mind, someday I'll be able to forgive everything Because I face the things I want to figure out |
I tried to find the answer Just by turning the pages But the thing I really wanted to know Is inside my heart |
I still believe in the voice that calls me I can be strong because everyone is with me |
Open mind, someday I'll be able to open my heart Our story is also about fighting and hurting each other Open mind, someday I'll be able to love everyone Even the words I can't get out well will become my weapons |
Open mind, someday I'll be able to laugh naturally Things that make my heart ache are messages to me Open mind, someday I'll be able to forgive everything Because I face the things I want to figure out |

Summary:
A witness reports what happened on a certain day, nearly three months after Sou-chan
(*smirks at the nickname*) decided to follow Kenshin's footsteps:
He was just peacefully walking down the street with a smile on his face when *BAM*! A woman who came out of nowhere suddenly bumped into him. And she is being chased by the cops!!!!! After the spectacle, I turned towards the man… what's his name again? (backstage: Soujiro Seta!) Ah, yes. Soujiro. When he suddenly disappeared. I swear! He was just standing there then… Poof! I tell you! I'm not lying! Please! Nooooooo! Don't take me back to that Goddawful place!!!! Tasukete!!!!!!!!!!!
Police:
(while going out of the room with the so-called 'insane' witness)
Disappearing men indeed. *snorts* You expect us to believe that???…
Author:
Ummm… ^_^ We all know what happened, I'm sure. *winks*

Whatever Tomorrow Brings
[01] [02]
~:o:~
Anime featured:
Rurouni Kenshin- 3 months after Shishio Arc
I fast-forwarded the enemies (Amakusa Shougo, the medicine part where Yutaro came back, etc.) and Enishi hasn't shown up yet.
~:o:~
Main and Sub Pairings, Warnings and other important (and not so important) stuff:
Pairings that will surely show-up:

KxK- Kenshin and Kaoru (rules!)

Hints:
YxT- Yahiko and Tsubame
YxY- Yahiko and Yutaro
Pairings I'm not sure of:
YxY- Yahiko and Yutaro
(I can't pick between Tsubame and Yutaro that's why there's only YxT and YxY hints)
YxT- Yahiko and Tsubame
(Reason is like above.)
If anyone wants to help me decide, e-mail me at: megmikage@kurama.zzn.com.
Warnings:
Het galore!
(Now I won't need to warn anybody of Yaoi content!… unless I decide to put YxY in)
This is a PG-13 fic for some angst, action and romance scenes.
Please abide by the rating.
Some chapters have mentioned other literary works.
No, the fic isn't based or going to cross-over with those.
I just want to mention that they somewhat relate to the chapter.
To Flamers:
(Now, I don't know why you are going to flame me because I didn't put anything that offends anyone in here, or unless you are a biased Soujirox? Fan but I already warned you about that so I don't see any reason why you would flame me. Oh well.)
Anyways, I just want to mention that my Flame guards are up and running smoothly. If you are going to flame me, please think twice before doing it.
(If you want to be one of my Flame Guards, just e-mail me. I'll be glad to have you as a Flame Guard. No one can get too much Flame Guards.)
To MST-ers:
If you're going to MST my fic, please tell me the exact address of the site where it is archived.
I would like to read it, of course. It has been too long since I have read a nice and hilarious MST.
^_^
To those who are Lemon-obsessed and would've loved to read one with Sou-kun and my OC:
Sorry. I won't write a lemon for this story. It's a little unnerving to write a lemon with an OC.
Why?
Because you never know what will happen.
To people who are still reading this and will read the fic:
If you don't understand something about the fic, don't hestitate to ask.
Questions are answered A.S.A.P.
Don't worry.
I don't bite.

Enjoy the fic!
