"It's Gotta Be You"
A Rurouni Kenshin Songfic
by Thayet D'Ragon

Aoshi to Misao



"Baby, It's the way you make me"
{Misao...if only you knew. }

"Kinda get me go crazy"
{How your every casual touch sets my senses on overload...}

"Never wanna' stop"
{But I don't want it to stop...}

"It's gotta' be you"

---

"I don't deserve it any more"
{Your smiles, your secrets...why me? I've never deserved anything from you, raising you with a family of ninjas...}

"I've never felt like this before"
{Pain, loss, grief... I've felt those emotions. But... guilt? Love? Where do these come in? How have I brought those into my life...?}

"You really make me lose my head"
{I don't understand you... how you can love so freely, give of your self so easily... You're confusing me with your sincerity and smiles...}

"My hungry heart must be fed"
{But I know what I want... what I need...}

*

"Baby, It's the way you make me
Kinda get me go crazy
Never wanna stop"
{If I could hold you in my arms for a thousand years, it'd never be long enough. I want to crush you and protect you, shelter you and partake of you... But I'll never let you go...}

"It's gotta be you
All the way"
{I cannot love you half-heartedly-- you've given me everything you have...}

"It's gotta be you
Every day"
{Every morning your smiles light my heart... Without you there is only eternal darkness...}

"I promise you I will be true"
{There can never be another...}

"There's only you"

"Now I know why I was born"
~A young Aoshi leans over to watch the newly-orphaned child of a former Oniwabanshu duo. 'I'll always protect you... like I couldn't do for your parents... or mine...'

"You fill my feelings one by one"
{Would you be surprised to learn how many times you've made me smile? To know that I don't need to show my emotions, as long as you're by my side?}

"Can't see the world I'm walkin' through"
{How can I make you understand? My every moment, waking and non...}

";'Cause Baby I see only you"
{Has been ecipsed by visions of you.}

*

"Baby It's the way you make me
Kinda get me go crazy
Never wanna stop"
{Misao... You're the dream I never want to end, and the wish I never thought could come true.. and I'll never let that go....}

"It's gotta be you
All the way"
{For years I've waited... and now I find you've been waiting too. Are we ready? To finish it...}

"It's gotta be you
Every day"
{You bring me rainbows and sunshine, where there were only clouds and rain...}

"I promise you I will be true"
{Misao... you will never need to question my love...}

"'Cause Baby there's only you"

---

"And you know... I can't see
The world I'm walking through..."
{How can one focus on the world...}

"'Cause of you..."
{When heaven's perfection stands before him...}


"It's gotta be you
All the way
You're all that I've ever wanted
It's gotta be you
I will be true
It's only you"
{Misao-mine... I won't ever let you go...}

"I promise you I will be true
It's only you"
