Welcome to the Akabeko's second annual Karaoke Night!! That's right, it is a month after the Akabeko's first Karaoke night and there have been some things happening lately.........
Backstage
Kaoru is sitting on the steps to the stage ( Tae actually had a stage built in) with Kenshin, clinging to his gi, and crying her eyes out on his shoulder. Megumi was almost in the same fashion, but she had her arms wrapped around Sano, and was crying into his chest. Misao and Aoshi haven't arrived yet.
"Please don't cry Kaoru, I'll come back, I always come back don't I?" Kenshin said, stroking her back comfortingly. "B- but you always come back h-hurt, I d-don't like to see you hurt." She replied trying to stop the onset of tears. "Aw...... Jou-chan, Kenshin won't get hurt, Aoshi and I are goin' with him." Sanosuke said trying to cheer her up.
"What about you rooster head? You won't come back hurt either will you?" Megumi questioned him, then little fox ears sprouted out from her hair, and a sly smile graced her tear stained face "Or..... only you could get hurt protecting Kenshin and Aoshi, then I could nurse you back to health.... JUST NO FUTAE NO KIWAMI! Your hand needs to heal!" (Remember how Sano broke his hand? Well it still hasn't healed O_o)
Aoshi came backstage with a crying Misao hanging from his neck. "Aoshi- Sama!" Misao wailed. "Misao, I said I was coming back." "But Aoshi...." "I'm coming back." He said as he set her down "P-promise?" Misao said with big puppy dog eyes. "Yes I promise." "YAY!" Misao jumped up and landed a kiss on his cheek.
Tae proceeded backstage with a list of songs. "Please choose, the Akabeko is full, and the show is about to start." She said then hurried out. Everyone chose their songs and waited..... Kaoru and Megumi were up first, followed by Aoshi and Misao, Sanosuke and Kenshin, Kaoru Megumi and Misao, and lastly Kenshin.
Tae emerged backstage and proceeded onto the stage. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the second annual Karaoke night!! My name is Tae and I will be your host tonight. So if you have any problems, please address me. And now without further wait, here are our first singers tonight Miss. Kaoru and Miss. Megumi!!" And after Tae finished the audience burst out with applause....
Kaoru and Megumi proceeded out onto the stage, but this time Kenshin and Sanosuke wasn't out there to watch them.....
"it's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same"
Kaoru and Megumi were both looking at the Oniwaban-gumi in the back of the room and saw Okina trying to get lucky with the ladies, who happen to be a lot younger that him.
"it's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
is it all inside my head
is it all inside my head
I view the my lips
and take my pick
I view my faith
and make a choice
'cause it's nobody else's but mine"
Kaoru and Megumi clutch their hands to their hearts....
"but you are in my heart
I can feel you're deep
and I lose my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name"
Sano nearly choked on his tea back stage from hearing those lyrics (Girls we all know what guys think of like 24/7 and you guys know it too)
"so many days within this ways
I need the truth
I need some grace
I need the path
to find my place
'I can't break down yet, I can't break down yet' Kaoru kept telling herself.
"I need some truth
I need some grace
the part of you
that's part of me
we'll never die
we'll never leave
and it's nobody else's but mine
'Have to be strong, have to be strong' Megumi kept telling herself.
"you are in my heart
I can feel your beat
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name"
That time Sanosuke sprayed his tea all over Kenshin, who turned all 'oro- eyed'
[ Instrumental-Bridge ]
"you'll view their lips
and take your pick
you'll view my faith
and make a choice
'cause it's nobody else's but yours
your in my heart
I can feel you're deep
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name "
Sano was laughing hysterically at Kenshin, and Megumi and Kaoru were about ready to go backstage and shut Sano up
"'cause your in my heart
I can feel you're deep
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name"
The girls finished, breaking down, and crying on the floor....... one minute..... two minutes....... Megumi looked up to see where Sanosuke and Kenshin were....... She then stood up and picked Kaoru up with her..... The audience burst out in applause and Megumi went backstage and hit Sano upside the head. "Baka! Where were you?!?!?What happened to 'I will always be there for you?!?!' She got herself even angrier and took a jug of sake from the back table. Downed it all in one breath.
Kaoru went over to Kenshin and helped wipe the tea off of him. "I'm sorry Kaoru" "It's alright Kenshin.... I didn't mind" Aoshi proceeded on stage leaving Misao behind.....
"So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face"
Misao was now in the audience drying the tears that started to fall from her eyes.
"If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own"
Aoshi just looked at her and smiled...... she smiled back at him.
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go"
Misao mouthed the words with Aoshi......
"And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days"
Misao disappeared from her seat and walked backstage.....
"If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you"
She proceeded onto the stage and started singing with Aoshi....
"If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go"
Aoshi let Misao sing the next part alone....
"Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love"
And Misao let Aoshi sing the next part alone......
"I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time"
Both singing at the same time
"If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go"
At the end Misao jumped into Aoshi's arms, the crowd burst out in applause, and he walked with her backstage..... "I believe that you'll come back now Aoshi-sama" Misao said as she smiled up at him. "Of course I will." Kaoru went back to the dojo and got Kenshin some dry clothes to change into. And Sano was keeping Megumi under control after she downed seven more sake jugs. "llleeemme go *hic* sanoshuke, I'm warring you..." "Shush Megumi, I think you've had too much to drink, I'm taking you home" "NNNOOOO!!!! I WANNA SEE THE SHOWWWW!!" "All right all right, you just have to be quiet and stay in the audience while Kenshin and I perform, got it?" "Yes" "good."
Sano handed Megumi over to Kaoru, and him and Kenshin proceeded onto the stage......
"If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me"
Kenshin looked deeply into Kaoru's deep pools of blue eyes, until Megumi interrupted them by nearly knocking the table over.
"Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't"
Sanosuke watched Megumi, and tried as hard as he could not to bust a gut when she attempted to wink and blow a kiss to him, and failed miserably.
"If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me"
Seems the road less traveled
Show's happiness unraveled"
Kaoru finally got so frustrated with Megumi that she hit her upside the head.
"And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can"
Megumi retorted to that by starting a launch attack at Kaoru but missed and rolled all the way backstage
"If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me"
Kaoru gave one last glance at Kenshin before going backstage to check on Megumi.
"Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about or love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me"
Half the crowd applauded and the other half sweat dropped as Megumi ran out on stage and jumped into Sano's arms being followed by a REALLY REALLY angry Kaoru........ Luckily Kenshin restrained her just in time...
Sanosuke shook Megumi as hard as he could "Megumi are you sure you can sing?" he asked her.... "Yeah, yeah..... thanks to those pills Dr. Gensai gave me I'll be fine...." She proceeded on stage with Kaoru and Misao.....
"Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with"
Kaoru already had tears in her eyes as she looked at Kenshin.....
"Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by"
Misao already had tears streaming down her face as she looked at her Aoshi- sama and the oniwaban group
"I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old"
Megumi was a little bit woozy, but she tried no to slur her words as she looked to Sanosuke for some help or else she was gonna wreck their performance.
"It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,"
Sano got the hint and went up on to the stage, he circled his arms around Megumi's waist and rested his head on her right shoulder so she would stay stable.
"Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew"
Kenshin and Aoshi suspiciously disappeared from their seats.
"You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to"
Kenshin was up on stage holding Kaoru in the same fashion as Sanosuke was holding Megumi... Kaoru put her hands over his.
"I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you"
Aoshi came up behind Misao and held her too.....
"Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right "
All the girls closed their eyes at the feeling being close to their men... engulfed in their warmth, scent, and love.
"Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew" They all had tears streaming down their faces, even the men...
"You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to"
Kenshin started swaying himself and Kaoru side to side with the rhythm of the music.
"And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine"
Sanosuke and Aoshi followed suit.
"I want you
But I'm not giving in this time"
Megumi snaked her arms around Sanosuke's waist.
"Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew"
Misao put her arms around Aoshi's neck.
"You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to"
All of the girls opened their eyes and turned around to face their men...
"And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star"
When they finished they kissed... Misao and Aoshi light and tender..... Sanosuke and Megumi deep and passionate..... Kenshin and Kaoru deep but light at the same time, filled with passion but not ferocity...
They all walked off stage except for Kenshin and Kaoru... Kenshin's music stared and he began to sing...
"So denied
so I lied Are you the now or never kind? In a day and a day love I'm going to be gone for good again"
Kenshin whispered in Kaoru's ear "not for good" because he felt her shudder after he said those words...
"Are you willing to be had? Are you cool with just tonight?"
Megumi was sitting in Sano's lap in the audience... watching Kenshin and Kaoru all the while nuzzling Sanosuke's neck...
"Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well. Here's to the night we felt alive. Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry. Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon."
Misao watched him with teary eyes sitting next to Aoshi..... She wound her arms around Aoshi's waist and pulled herself closer to him...
"Put your name on the line Along with place and time Want to stay, not to go, I want to ditch the logical."
Kaoru buried her face in the crook of Kenshin's neck... Inhaling and exhaling very deeply...
"Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well. Here's to the night we felt alive. Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry. Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon."
Kenshin tightened his grip around Kaoru's waist...
"All my time is froze in motion Can't I stay an hour or two or more Don't let me let you go Don't let me let you go"
Sano and Aoshi tightened thier grips on Misao and Megumi at Kenshin's words...
"Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well. Here's to the night we felt alive. Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry. Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's going to come to soon. To soon
Here's to the night we felt alive Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon"
When Kenshin finished Kaoru covered him with kisses.... She didn't want him to go.... but he had to... She was hugging the life out of him...and so was Megumi and Misao. When Kaoru finally let go, Kenshin kissed her one last time and headed off of the stage... He headed out of the Akabeko door followed by Aoshi and Sanosuke.... The girls went home and to bed... Kaoru slept in one of Kenshin's shirts and on his futon... Megumi slept in Sanosuke's apartment in his bed, and Misao slept in Aoshi's bed....

"What about you rooster head? You won't come back hurt either will you?" Megumi questioned him, then little fox ears sprouted out from her hair, and a sly smile graced her tear stained face "Or..... only you could get hurt protecting Kenshin and Aoshi, then I could nurse you back to health....

Kenshin whispered in Kaoru's ear "not for good" because he felt her shudder after he said those words...
"Are you willing to be had? Are you cool with just tonight?"
Megumi was sitting in Sano's lap in the audience... watching Kenshin and Kaoru all the while nuzzling Sanosuke's neck...
"Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well. Here's to the night we felt alive. Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry. Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon."
Misao watched him with teary eyes sitting next to Aoshi..... She wound her arms around Aoshi's waist and pulled herself closer to him...
"Put your name on the line Along with place and time Want to stay, not to go, I want to ditch the logical."
Kaoru buried her face in the crook of Kenshin's neck... Inhaling and exhaling very deeply...
"Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well. Here's to the night we felt alive. Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry. Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon."
Kenshin tightened his grip around Kaoru's waist...
"All my time is froze in motion Can't I stay an hour or two or more Don't let me let you go Don't let me let you go"
Sano and Aoshi tightened thier grips on Misao and Megumi at Kenshin's words...
"Here's a toast to all those who hear me all to well. Here's to the night we felt alive. Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry. Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's going to come to soon. To soon
Here's to the night we felt alive Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye tomorrow's going to come to soon"
When Kenshin finished Kaoru covered him with kisses.... She didn't want him to go.... but he had to... She was hugging the life out of him...and so was Megumi and Misao. When Kaoru finally let go, Kenshin kissed her one last time and headed off of the stage... He headed out of the Akabeko door followed by Aoshi and Sanosuke.... The girls went home and to bed... Kaoru slept in one of Kenshin's shirts and on his futon... Megumi slept in Sanosuke's apartment in his bed, and Misao slept in Aoshi's bed....
