Our songfiction opens in the palace of Lord Enma, where Koenma, in his grow up form, sits in his office, brooding and sucking on his pacifier.
WHY DO I SAY?
(Koenma closes his brown eyes and sighs deeply)
DON'T WALK AWAY
(He grits his teeth and slams his fist on the desk, scattering papers everywhere)
YOU'LL BE THE WAY YOU WERE BEFORE
(Leaving his office, Koenma tries desperately to forget what he did)
WHEN YOU DON'T WANT ME ANYMORE
(He remembers Botans' lavender eyes wet with tears)
DON'T TURN AROUND
(He remembers watching Botan run out of his office)
DON'T EVER LEAVE
(And form her oar, as she jumped out the window and flew away)
A LONELY ROOM WHERE EMPTY DAYS ARE GATHERING TO MEET ME
(Koenma shakes the memory away and stops to look out a window)
WHEN YOUR GONE. GONE. HOW IN THE WORLD WILL I GO ON?
(Koenma sighs again letting his pacifier fall from his mouth)
DON'T WALK AWAY. ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS STAY.
DON'T WALK AWAY. ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS STAY.
DON'T WALK AWAY.
(With a determined look Koenma jumps from the window and flies away to find Botan)
REPRISE:
DON'T WALK AWAY
(Memories of Botan flashes through his mind)
DON'T SAY GOOD-BYE
(Her lavender eyes sparkling with tears, sad and shocked)
DON'T TURN AROUND
(Her sky blue hair coming undone to swirl gently around her face)
DON'T LET IT DIE
(Her whimpering gasp when she heard Koenma call her a useless fool, because she accidentally dropped the Golden Seal)
WHEN SHADOWS FALL
(Shaking the memories away, Koenma grips his heart)
WHEN DAY IS DONE
(Flying towards the setting sun, he watches the horizon change colors)
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. ALL OF MY LIFE
(Koenma whispers: "Oh Botan. I am so sorry")
DON'T WALK AWAY
IS IT A DREAM?
(Koenma lands in a garden of crystal plants)
WHEN WILL IT END?
(Koenma stiffens when he hears Botan crying)
WHEN EVERTHING WE'VE EVER KNOWN IS ENDED AND I'M ALL ALONE
(Without hesitation, Koenma flies in that direction, crashing through crystal roses)
WHERE WILL I GO?
(He stops and lands, watching Botan cry, as she sits in a huge crystal flower)
WHERE WILL I BE?
(Sensing someone watching her, Botan stands up and looks around)
THE FEELINGS THAT I'VE NEVER SHOWN MAYBE I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER
(Feeling someone behind her, Botan spins around and gasps when she sees him)
WHEN YOUR GONE. GONE. HOW IN THE WORLD WILL I GO ON?
(Shaking her head Botan turns to fly away, but Koenma grabs her. Holding her tight)
DON'T WALK AWAY. ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS STAY
DON'T WALK AWAY. ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS STAY
DON'T WALK AWAY
(Koenma gently closes his arms around Botan, who is struggling to break free)
REPRISE:
DON'T WALK AWAY
(Botan stops struggling when Koenma stares deeply into her tear filled lavender eyes)
DON'T SAY GOOD-BYE
(Her struggles cease when Koenma gently kisses her lips)
DON'T TURN AROUND
(Botan places her hands on his chest and pushes away from him)
DON'T LET IT DIE
(Crossing her arms, Botan stares back hard and angrily at Koenma)
WHEN SHADOWS FALL
(A shadow of complete despair and saddness falls across Koenmas' face)
WHEN DAY IS DONE
(Botans' hard stare softens as she watches Koenma sink to his knees, crying)
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. ALL OF MY LIFE
(Koenma pleads: "Oh Botan, please forgive me. I love you so much that I will die without you")
DON'T WALK AWAY
REPRISE AGAIN
(As the reprise is sung again, Koenma takes Botans' hands and kisses them. Sighing, Botan slowly smiles and falls willingly into the open arms of Koenma. Koenma kisses Botan gently, then deeply with passion holding her tight as Botan wraps her arms around him. Koenma gasps when Botan breaks the kiss, but then he smiles when Botan kisses his tears away. Botan then kisses Koenma on his waiting lips, as our songfiction comes to an end)
