Bless This Broken Road
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Kenshin Himura was sitting down as usual washing the laundry lost in deep thought. He knew that Sano and Yahiko was at the Akabeko and Kaoru was probably at the market leaving him to himself with his thoughts and his laundry which he didn't mind one bit. But what he didn't know that Kaoru finished early just to get some things done in peace without Yahiko calling her ugly all the time and Sano asking for money and food
"Kenshin are you ok?" Kaoru asks worried as she watches Kenshin do the laundry deep in thought
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Kenshin almost fell over with shock saying "Oro" in the process as he balances himself once more. He didn't hear her come home and besides the fact that he was thinking about her
"Kenshin? Are you ok?" Kaoru asks again getting really worried now as she walks to him
"I'm fine Kaoru-dono, that I am!" Kenshin says as he now looks at her smiling
"You seemed lost in your own world Kenshin...I was worried" Kaoru says softly looking down at him
"I'm sorry to make you worry, that I am...I was thinking Kaoru-dono" Kenshin says as he stands wiping his hands on his Hakama as he looks into her deep blue eyes which made him think some more
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like nothern stars
"About what Kenshin?" Kaoru asks as she looks into his Violet eyes and couldn't help but notice that they got softer
Kenshin simply took one step in front of her and couldn't believe his boldness as he gently took her wrists and puts them on his shoulders before he wraps his arms around her waist. The one thing that Kaoru ever taught him was that if he wanted something he should go for it and thats what he was going to do.
"Kenshin?" Kaoru whispers afraid to speak
"Shh...dance with me Kaoru" Kenshin says as he closes his eyes and sways some as he feels Kaoru's body responding
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you
Kenshin couldn't help himself as he drew Kaoru closer to him as he breathes in deeply smelling Jasmine. Kaoru on the other hand was closing her eyes and hugging Kenshin's neck thinking that this is a dream and didn't want it to end
'My Koishii...my Kaoru' Kenshin thought as he rests his chin softly against Kaoru's shoulder but his cheek is close to hers
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
'You always smiled at me...I never understood why, that I don't. I spent years wondering as a Rurouni and yet when I first met you...you attacked me thinking that I was the Battousai that you seeked. I never thought that over the years when I was away from you when you went to other Dojo's just to put food on the table and that I was called to do something for the Police...I wanted to give back the time I lost and give it back to you' Kenshin thought
You've been there you understand
It's all part of the grander plan that is coming true
Kaoru smiled some as she resists the urge to kiss this wonderful man that was dancing with her
'Kenshin, I hope this isn't a dream...but if it is this is a dream I will never forget' Kaoru thought as she keeps quiet not wishing to break the silence afraid that Kenshin might pull away from her
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
"This isn't a dream Kaoru, that it is not" Kenshin whispers in her ear making Kaoru's eyes open in shock
"I don't want this to end Kenshin" Kaoru whispers as she closes her eyes hugging him more
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
"It never will Kaoru, that it won't. That broken road lead me to you" Kenshin says keeping Kaoru in his arms
"I'm glad...Aishiteru Kenshin" Kaoru whispers
"Aishiteru Kaoru" Kenshin says
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.
