You
will come back within yourself
Juunana
and Juuhachi's eyes open as they are awakened by Dr. Gero.
You
can be art when we melt
They
stand outside their containers; Gero is holding the dreaded remote control.
I
will know what you were for
The
twins exchange a meaningful glance.
I
say we're leaving
Juunana
beheads Dr. Gero, killing him.
There
ain't nothing here at all
The
entire lab explodes.
Another
day, a week, the mall
The
twins fly away from the destruction
And
baby if I was in demand
You
would be mine
Juunana
mentally sees Juuhachi kissing Kuririn on the cheek
You
would be mine
Juunana
squeezes his eyes shut and clenches his teeth.
Superimpose image of Juuhachi walking away with Kuririn.
Someday
this place is gonna burn
Juunana's
aura flashes darkly around him as he screams.
Is
your whole life in there waiting?
Juunana's
image shrinks into the background image of Juuhachi's smiling face.
Someday
your head is gonna turn
At
Kame House, Juuhachi suddenly looks up, eyes wide, and spins around expecting
to see someone behind her.
And
you'll realize I'm missing
She
stands, shaking, and a sweatdrop runs down the side of her face.
Do
you realize?
Split
screen: Juuhachi's face looking worried/confused on the left; Juunana's face
looking angry/distressed on the right. They're
facing away from each other.
Scene
changes to a beautiful clear night sky full of stars. Camera
pans downward to Kame House. Fade
to inside, where Kuririn and Juuhachi are sleeping in each other's arms.
You
will come back
Convince
yourself
Fade
to Juunana sitting on the roof of his log cabin, staring up at the same night
sky.
You
can stay alive and wait for me
Dawn
comes to Kame Island with a bright sunrise.
Little Marron runs into the bedroom to greet her sleepy parents.
And
I will know what this was for
Juunana
hovers high in the sky above Kame Island, looking down at the pink house below.
And
I'll say we're leaving
Close
up of Juunana's smirking face.
There
ain't nothing here at all
Fade
to image of the happy family of Kuririn and Juuhachi with Marron in the kitchen.
Another
month, a year, that's all
Juunana's
eyes are ice cold. Focus on his hands untying his orange bandana.
So
you can tell them I'm coming
Juuhachi
steps outside of the house, stretching in the warm morning sun.
The orange bandana drops down from the sky.
And
hell's coming with me
She
catches the bandanna in her hand. Shocked
recognition flashes across her face.
Hell's
coming with me
She
looks up to see Juunana flying away from the island, and cries out after him,
still clutching the bandana.
Someday
this place is gonna burn
Juuhachi
sinks into the sand crying and buries her face in her brother's bandana.
Is
your whole life in there waiting?
She
looks back at Kame House, where her husband and daughter still are.
Someday
their heads are gonna turn and they'll realize
She
ties the bandana loosely around her own neck, then walks toward the ocean.
They'll
realize
She
hesitates at the edge of the water; superimpose faint image of Kuririn's face.
They'll
realize
Juuhachi
leaps into the air; a few shimmering droplets of tears linger where she had been
a moment before.
Kuririn
walks out of the house, carrying Marron on his arm, looking for Juuhachi.
You're
missing
The
beach is empty, except for a path of footprints leading to the ocean.
The
waves gently lap at the footprints, slowly washing away the last trace of
Juuhachi from the island.
Fade
to scenery of snowcapped mountains, panning down to a log cabin in a pine
forest.
Juunana
lands and starts walking towards the cabin, his back to the camera.
Juuhachi
lands behind him. He turns around and stares at her;
her face is down, hidden by her hair. She
shakes with silent sobbing, then abruptly brushes away her hair and her tears to face her
brother. Her face is impassive.
Juunana
hides a smirk and turns back to walk inside; Juuhachi follows him, still
wearing his bandana.
*music
fades out*

Note: I really liked the lyrics and the haunting feel of this song, so
if you don't have this CD, at least go download "Suburbia" off whatever
Napster clone you prefer. ^_^
I'm
a dedicated Kuri and Juuhachi fan, so having her leave him was hard, but then I
think she did it for two reasons: 1) to protect her family from Juunana.
2) because she loves her brother. (Now
whether this love for him is more than just regular brother/sister
affection, that's up to you. I'm
not going to argue for or against the possibility of incest here! _ ) It
was kinda fun writing Juunana as the jealous, manipulative brother though. I
probably made both of them kinda OOC, but hey, it's my interpretation
after all...
Maybe
someday I'll turn this into an actual story, not just a vidfic.
Now,
if you have the time, please review and tell me your thoughts on
this fic! Thanks!
