Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin. Whatever would make you think I did? Nope. It all belongs to Nobuhiro Watsuki (he's so lucky). I also do not own the song No More Cry (you people must truly be fools). It belongs on the In Blue album of the Corrs. If you find the cd, let me know. Couldn't find it. Drat Target... :P
A/N: 'kiedokie, so... fanfic number 2... I thought (as usual) about potential songfics, but this morning was different. I actually got off my butt and wrote something I'm so proud I do believe this is soo much better than my first one (which wasn't bad, either). As much as I love to talk, you probably want to read the fic already. So here ya go
No More Cry
To Makimachi Misao, it seemed that Aoshi had closed himself off from the world. Since the deaths of their friends, he showed no emotion towards anything at all. He was drifting away, fading into a mere stain on the wall. It was a downward spiral of loathe. Loathing Battousai, but loathing himself most of all.
It saddened Misao greatly that he could not see that he did not need to be great. What she needed now, was for Aoshi to be again. She imagined Hannya would be greatly disappointed in this vague shadow of the former Shinomori Aoshi.
I want to feel just like before
Before the rain came in my door
Shook me up, turned me round
Made me cry 'til I would drown
She had never asked him to leave her. It was the last thing she could ever want. Everything was so drowned out. She feared that the looming darkness would soon come to take her, as well.
Stole the daylight brought the night
So much anger I would fight
Lost my youth and the blue
Saw all the loneliness in you
She had pursued him as soon as she was able. She had left Kyoto for months at a time, searching for some word of him. Of course Jiya would have some idea of Aoshi's whereabouts, but Misao was not such a fool as to believe she would learn anything from him.
Want to help you, give my love
Shine some light out from the mud
Fill the empty, find a rhyme
A brighter day, a better time
What Misao most wanted was to be at Aoshi's side. To support him in this dark and confusing time. To recover stability in life. To recover some purpose. To recover whatever was lost.
But now I'm wondering where I'm gone
Can't find the truth within my song
And all I have I give to you
To let you know you're not alone
She had no answers to give. She still searched within herself. No, Aoshi alone could find his answers, but she, Makimachi Misao, would be damned if she wouldn't stand alongside him through it all.
I'm telling you
I'm smiling for you only
I'm trying for you solely
I'm praying for you only
No more cry, no more cry
I want to hear you laugh again
Without the ache to bring you down
No we'll never be the same
If only I could take your pain
What she wouldn't give to see her Aoshi-sama smile again. She deeply hoped that she might be able to recover that smile long lost.
If it's true what people say
There still is beauty in each day
We'll find comfort in her strength
And one day soon we'll meet again
If the days continued to go on, there was still hope for her. Hope for him. Perhaps, if she endured, things would be right once more.
I'm telling you
I'm smiling for you only
I'm trying for you solely
I'm praying for you only
No more cry, no more cry
I'm singing for you only
Yeah, I worry for you only
I'm praying for you only
No more cry, no more cry
Reach out for love
Shout out for love
Listen for your love
Believe in her love
If she could break through the ever-numbing sludge, there was light.
I'm telling you
I'm telling you
I'm smiling for you only
I'm trying for you solely
I'm praying for you only
No more cry, no more cry
I'm singing for you only
Hey, I worry for you only
But it's you saves me from lonely
No more cry, no more cry
No, no more cry
no more cry
no more cry
no more cry
If she stood at Aoshi's side, he would truly return.
