Author's Note: This is the first Fuuko songfic/fic I've ever written and the second songfic I've written. It's based on the song Mayumi-neechan has on her Miscellaneous section. This fic is dedicated to Fuuko no Miko, my adopted neechan, possibly the biggest Fuuko fan ever.
Text Legend:
[text]- scenes in narrative form
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
[Fuuko is standing in the center of the arena in the Urabutou Satsujin, her clothes torn, and various bruises on her body.]
And many times her eyes fought back her tears
[A close up of Fuuko's face, as her eyes fill with hurt tears she's trying to fight back as Fujimaru (bastard!!) calls her ugly]
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
[Fuuko being thrown against the electric barriers her body stiffening as the electricity jolts her, her face reflecting intense pain]
Each time her slender shoulders
[she falls to the ground, face down, so still that it seems that her strength has been completely sapped]
Bore the weight of all her fears
[Slowly to the astonishment of everyone she gets up]
And the sound that no one hears
[Fuuko says (note it can't be heard) "I will win!]
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears
[And in her mind, echoes the words "I must win, for Recca, Yanagi, Domon, Tokiya, Koganei, Kagerou, and Ganko. For all of our sake]
Let her cry for she's a lady
[her eyes brimming with tears at her perceived defeat by Mikoto]
Let her dream, for she's a child
[Fuuko, smiling and pointing at herself, saying 'He said I was like a super model!"]
Let the rain fall down upon her
[Fuuko...sinking slowly in the pit of water, her vision fading]
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild
[A flashback of herself as a child, fighting with Recca]
And if by chance I should hold her
[A light opening up above her, a shadow blocking it]
Let me hold her for a time
[Strong arms around her, carrying her out of the water]
And if allowed but one possession
[His eyes roam over her face, as if memorizing every detail]
I will pick her from the garden to be mine
[He lifts a hand to brush her cheek, he hesitates and lowers it again]
Be careful how you touch her for she'll awaken
[Fuuko begins to stir in his grasp, her eyes fluttering]
For sleep's the only freedom that she knows
[They open and rest on Raiha's face]
And when you look into her eyes you won't believe
[In her eyes he can see all that she has gone through]
The way she's always payin'
[All the battles she has had, being knocked down by Gashekura]
For a debt she never owes
[Lying down on the arena, asking for her Fuujin's help]
And the silent wind still blows
[Standing again, and revealing the Fuujin's new power]
That only she can hear and so she goes...
[Her face growing fierce and determined as she goes to attack]
