A/N: This idea was kinda impromptu. I was looking at my friend's 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou (Rurouni Kenshin 5th ending) English translation. I don't normally look at the English trans for songs when I look for lyrics, so the words kinda hit me. Haha... the first thing I thought of was Hakkai. So here we are! XD
1/3 of my true feelings
An image of her flashed through my mind all of a sudden. Already being accustomed to these frequent flashes, my expression remained the same.
Even if my true love reaches the breaking point, 1/3 of it won't reach.
My true are just spinning on air, my heart isn't even saying "I love you".
Yaone.
Just her name alone could make the blood rush up to my face. She wasn't just another person who looked like Kanna. Yeah, I know. Lots of other girls look like Kanna. That's what Gojyo told me. Well, I noticed that too.
I thought my love life was over when Kanna put that blade into her throat. I thought I had gotten over it. But obviously I haven't. I'm such a failure.
On the long sleepless night, the images I send to you whisper "that is love".
Continuously shaking speech that moves you to tears.
Changes into a slight fever mingled with a sigh.
I often thought about her at night. Especially when I was lonely. Or hurt. Or when it when it was raining.
I never liked rain. It often reminded me of blood. An admonition. I often wished it didn't. I used to think rain was good actually. Rain that cleansed the soul. Note the word used to.
Give me a smile and shiny days,
By your smile I can withstand the cold of a frozen night.
I loved her smile. It was so innocent. Unlike mine. I only smiled to hide my true feelings. Sanzo said I was too polite. I laughed. I'm not Sanzo.
She smiled only for Kougaiji. She belonged to him. What right do I have to take her away? I'm unworthy.
Like rain in the middle of summer, the dry bareness moistens, your smile is bright.
Give me a smile and shiny days, don't clear up so quickly!
Because we can overcome any wall that stands in our way.
I often thought of what I would do after this whole thing finished. I thought of going after her. I told Gojyo. But Gojyo thought too that she was Kougaiji's. He said they would settle down.
But if I looked at it in a different direction, Kougaiji only seems to care for her as a sister. So it gave me a new light. I was pretty hopeful. But it didn't last for long.
Whoever you love, these images will reach them, right?
Don't say you can't find them, your words are dancing in space.
The further apart you go, the more it hurts the person you love.
The more I chase them, the more my heart feels the cruel distance.
She was a good doctor. Everytime we met in battle and she injured me, after the fight she'd always help me bandage up the wound. Her hands would gently wind around my arm, we'd look at each other for a split second and turn away.
I wished those moments would have lasted longer.
I've always visualized her in my arms, on a rainy night, just the two of us, alone, no interruptions, the rain dripping quietly at the window. I'd be leaning against the wall, on the bed, and her head would be resting on my chest. I whispered sweet nothings into her ear, and she sighed.
How I wish that would really happen.
Give me a smile and shiny days.
Give me a smile and nice days.
If only we could meet in an embrace...
I was an optimistic kind of person. I knew Yaone could never be mine. But a guy could always dream, ne?
Whoever you love, these images will reach them, right?
If only you had said so in you dreams.
Even if my true love reaches the breaking point, 1/3 of it won't reach.
My true are just spinning on air, my heart isn't even saying "I love you".
