________________________________________________________________________________ Aoshi and Misao's Musical: If it wasn't for you... ________________________________________________________________________________ Act 1: scene two... Love? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Misao is standing in front of the temple door Misao: He's probably meditating... Here's my chance... It's now or never... and even if he says no... You practiced what to do if he says no... :::::KNOCK KNOCK:::::::: Aoshi: Who's there? Misao: IT'S me... can I come in? Aoshi: No... I mean YES YES.. COME IN. (Misao walks in slowly... the room is intimidatingly quiet... yet Misao is firm in her resolve...) Misao: well... I just wanted to say that... that... Aoshi: Hurry up. (he interrupted in his monotone voice) Misao: well... I love you... Aoshi: That's nice... Misao: I love you... and that's all you have to say? Aoshi: I'm sorry but... I don't feel the same way. Misao: Alright... I understand... (She bows her head and looks down sorrowfully at the floor.) Misao: I understand... Misao Begins to leave, but suddenly she turns around.... Aoshi watches her in shock. She stares in his eyes for some time, then begins her song... ~If I Should stay... I would only be in Your wa-a-ay. So i'll Go-o but I know I will think of you every step of the wa-a-ay... And I... (MUSIC BEGINS) I-I Will always love y-ou-ou I will always, Love you... you-ou... my darling you umm Bitter sweet Memories that is all i'm taking with me-e-e So goodbye please don't cry... We both know, I'm not what you you ne-e-eed And I I-I Will always love you y-ou-ou I will always, Love you... YOU-OU (Jiya comes out with a saxophone and plays for a while... Misao whacks him over the head before he completely steals the show...) I-I hope Life treats you kind And I hope you have all you dream o-o-of and I wish you JO-OY and hapiness, But above all this I wish you Lo-o-ove... (Dramatic pause...)

Yo...-ou...-ou~ Misao then turns away and runs back to the restaurant. Aoshi sits flabbergasted in the middle of the temple floor... Aoshi: WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!! Aoshi: Oh no... I blew it... But I deserve it... I deserve it... Music begins to be heard... and Aoshi begins to search for his trench coat... the new trench coat he bought in Deena's fic) ~ Guess there's no use in hanging 'round. So i'll get dressed and do the town. I'll find some crowded avenue. Though it will be empty without YOU... Can't get used to losing you no matter what I try to do. Gonna live my whole life through... Loving you... (Two days have magically passed, and Aoshi is now sitting in a pub... new trench coat ripped... he smells like Whiskey and vomit... He's singing about Misao to a drunken neighbor besides him) Called up some girl I used to Know. After I heard her say hello... Couldn't think of anything to say... since you're gone it happens everyday! Can't get used to losing you no matter what I try to do. Gonna live my whole life through... Loving you... I'll find somebody wait and see (he sings raising his glass) Who am I kidding... only me. 'Cause no one else can take you're place (He pictures Misao smiling) Guess that I am just a hopeless case!... Can't get used to losing you no matter what I try to do. Gonna live my whole life through... Loving you...~ The music slowly dies and Aoshi buries his drunken head in a bowl of Soba... The man next to him nudges him... Man: Women problems? Aoshi: How'd you guess SHERLOCK!!! Man: Hey... take it easy there buddy... I'm glad I'm not in your shoes... Aoshi: Oh yeah... you think you're better than me... huh... so answer this... WHY IS YOUR ASS NEXT TO ME!!! Man: Well, the girl I'm in love with I don't know... She lives next door... Aoshi doesn't realize that the man next to him is his neighbor... Aoshi: Describe her... Man: pretty blue eyes... Aoshi: Huh? A racy 60's tune begins in the bar... toons of drunken men gather and then the man then begins. ~ Thought I was in love before And then you moved in next door pretty blue eyes pretty blue eyes... All the guys in the neighborhood keep saying you sure look good with your blue eyes pretty blue eyes... Saw you from my window, My heart skipped a bea-ea-eat. Gonna sit by your doorstep, So that I can me-ee-eet... Pretty blue eyes please come out today so I can tell you what I have to say that I love you... love you pretty blue eyes.... Saw you from my window, My heart skipped a bea-ea-eat. Gonna sit by your doorstep, So that I can me-ee-eet... Pretty blue eyes please come out today so I can tell you what I have to say that I love you... love you pretty blue eyes.... pretty blue eyes pretty blue eyes~ All the local men begin toasting, and exchanging dirty jokes... Aoshi: Hmm... that's curious, I'm here because of a girl with blue eyes too... Man: Yeah... the girl I love... her name is... joe, what's her name again? Joe: Misao... Makamichi Misao Aoshi spits out his liquor and looks strangely at all the drunken men about him... Aoshi: M-M-MISAO!!!! all the men: UH HUH!! Aoshi gets up and unsheaths his twin katanas... he whispers, angrily... Aoshi: Misao- huh? All the men: UH HUH? ******** 10 MINUTES LATER... Aoshi wiped the blood off his swords with the hairs of a decapitated head... Bartender: Thank you! They all had extremely high debts... Aoshi: No problem... Do I still have to pay for my liquor? Bartender: YES!! at that, Aoshi uses his kodachi ni Touryu to decapitate the bartender's head. Aoshi: Shit... I left my wallet at home... Oh well? ******* Aoshi walked through the empty streets... He is more drunken than he thought... his voice is now three pitches higher... Aoshi: I didn't Know my Misao attracted all that attention... You never know a good thing until it's gone... A catchy melody begins to play, and Aoshi is now wearing bell bottoms... His voice now resembles Michael Jackson... because of the liquor... ~When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around. 'cause pretty faces always seem to stand out in a crowd. But somone picked from the bunch one glance was all it took. And now it's much too late for me, to take a second look... (Jermaine, Tito, Marlon, and the other jackson guy besides Mishael pops out...) OH baby give me one more chance! *one more chance baby* Won't you please let me *back in your heart* Oh darling I won't ever let you go! *let you go baby*~ Aoshi: STOP THE MUSIC... The jackson 5 stop singing... Jackson 5: What's wrong? Aoshi: I just remembered... I hate Micael Jackson... Aoshi unsheaths his Katanas... 10 Mintues later, the jackson 5 share the same fate as the drunkards... Aoshi: I must be in a bad mood... :Hiccup: I need something more... something more then booze... I need... (new music starts...) ~When I was young... I never needed anyone... And making love was just for fun... Those days are done. Living alone... I think of all the friends i've known... and when I dial the telephone, nobody's home... All BY My- SE-E-ELF don't wanna be All By Myself Anymore... All BY My- SE-E-ELF don't wanna live All By Myself Anymore... It's hard to be sure sometimes I feel so insecure... and love so distant and obscure remains the cure... (guitar and drums are louder... the guitar is mostly solo, and Aoshi Is closer and closer to home... He looks around at his surroundings... The music slows back down, and Aoshi begins to sing again...) When I was young... I never needed anyone... And making love was just for fun... Those days are done... (a dramatic pause... drumming is heard followed by louder music...) All BY My- SE-E-ELF don't wanna be All By Myself Anymore... All BY My- SE-E-ELF don't wanna live All By Myself Anymore... All BY My- SE-E-ELF don't wanna be All By Myself Anymore... All BY My- SE-E-ELF don't wanna live All By Myself Anymore...~ The music stops, and Aoshi begins to weep in the temple... ******** To Be Continued --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 1.
