She finally succumbed.

So I have this psycho plot bunny gnawing away insisting I put the first serious arc of Ruroni Kenshin to a more modern soundtrack.

I blame Blades of Blood (Fanfic crossing Kenshin & Nightlife, REALLY good read. Go read it. Srsly)

Anyway! Here's what I've got so far. (r) signifies it needs to be re-written to appropriate Kenshin-ness.

Intro Kenshin - Veteran of Psychic Wars (r) Blue Oyster Cult
Intro Kaoru - Venus (r) Bananarama
Intro Yahiko - I'm Still Here
Intro Sano - (Megumi) Come Out Tonight (r) Springsteen
Intro Jin-E - Immigrant Song (r) Led Zepplin
Kidnapping - One of These Nights Eagles
Big Fight - This is How You Remind Me (r)Nickelback
Rescue -
Epilogue - Carry On Wayward Son Kansas

SO! If YOU just rescued your burgeoning love interest from a crazy assassin (during which SHE broke the spell, not you), what soundtrack would YOU use?

As promised, my second filk.

(The first was taking "Walking in Memphis" and filking it for Star Wars. That was...gods...about six years ago on the Sluggy boards. I called it "Walking in Eisley")

Oh Kenshin, you're so kind
you're so kind you blow my mind
Hey Kenshin! Hey Kenshin!

Ba-ttousai you're so keen
You're so keen you make me sing
Ba-ttousai! Ba-ttousai!

Hey Kenshin
You've hung around for days and that's a little long
I know you said you could, but I think I got it wrong
Oh, can't you say you care so that we can move on Kenshin?

Cause when your eyes go gold, it means you're going cold
You're giving me the chills, Battousai, please, please don't
Every night you still leave me all alone Kenshin

Oh Kenshin, what a pity you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Ba-ttousai, you're so pretty can't you understand?
It's only been you, Rurouni!

And what you do, Kenshin, do Ba-ttousai,
don't break my heart, Rurouni!

Oh, Kenshin, you're so kind
you're so kind you blow my mind
Hey Kenshin! Hey Kenshin!

Ba-ttousai you're so keen
You're so keen you make me sing
Ba-ttousai! Ba-ttousai!

Hey Kenshin
Now if you take me by the, we won't let Sano know.
Every time you fight, I let a little more show.
You don't need that sword, so don't say no, Kenshin!
So come on and spar with me anyway you can
Anyway you want to, I'll take it like a man
But, please, oh please, don't leave me in the dam, Kenshin!

Oh Kenshin, what a pity you don't understand
You take me by the heart when you take me by the hand
Ba-ttousai, you're so pretty can't you understand?
It's only been you, Rurouni!

And what you do, Kenshin, do Ba-ttousai,
don't break my heart, Rurouni!

Oh, Kenshin, you're so kind
you're so kind you blow my mind
Hey Kenshin! Hey Kenshin!

Ba-ttousai you're so keen
You're so keen you make me sing
Ba-ttousai! Ba-ttousai!
(repeat)

(Oh gods, I'm such a dork)
