A songfic by Joy
***

[Here I am I'm right here
Oh I wish you could feel me, standing so close
I'm right beside you dear]

Tomoe's spirit, watching over Kenshin wandering in
a forest.

[I fly round this old man's house
I float through out walls]

She looks over Kenshin, helping a family
after their house burned down.

[I scream and I call
While I watch you without me]

He waves good-bye, and her spirit
follows him again in his journey.


[All I feel, all I am now
Is this love I have for you
Each night its you, you I lay beside]

She watches him sleep,
content to be watching the former
Hitokiri.

[Close my eyes never to sleep
I tell you all the things I should have said
That you'll never know]

/Tomoe, speaking with Kenshin as they drink sake/

[How could I act such a part
as to love the one who breaks my heart]

/Tomoe, clutching the tanto behind her back, as she walks
behind her 'husband'/

I had to go...

/Tomoe, giving Kenshin his second scar./

[So put your hands here round my waist
Though you cannot feel my touch dear
and dance with me as you did before]

Tomoe observes Kenshin, who seemed to be in a trance
as he looks at the stars, remembering their first
night together.

[I'm bound forever to this house
I can never go beyond that door
I dance alone]

She reaches out to touch his face,
Kenshin touches his scar, his hand
'touching' hers.

[So when you think of me, smile
It's the only way that I can see
That you still care for me]

Tomoe watches Enishi as he looks at a
toy she gave him a long time ago, a
smile that was on his lips turned to a sneer.

[Close my eyes never to sleep
I tell you all the things I've should have said
that you'll never know]

{Enishi... it was never his fault.}
Tomoe wanted to say so much to her brother
as she watched him practice his kata.

[How could I act such a part
as to love the one who breaks my heart]

/Tomoe, looking at the ghost of Akira, while
Kenshin fights outside./

[I had to go...]

/Tomoe's hands grips the blade of the tanto/

[Here I am I'm right here
How I wish you could see me dear
Oh my dear...]

/Tomoe's spirit, wrapping her arms around a sleeping
Kenshin./

**end**

When I heard this song after a long time,
I just though of Kenshin and Tomoe. I can't believe
that I made a songfic without Aoshi and Misao. I never
thought that my first non Aoshi/Misao work would be
Kenshin/Tomoe because I'm for Kenshin/Kaoru.

I just wanted to give this a go, I'll probably revise
it... or maybe not!
