Notes

The song is 1/3 no Junjouna Kanjou (1/3 of my pure feelings) one of the Rurouni Kenshin anime ending themes...


Even if I loved you to the point of breaking down
I would not be able to tell you a third of how I feel
Pure feelings are racing on Not able to even say 'I love you'
My heart

Zelgadis walks down a secluded path, accompanied by Lina. The two of them are chatting and having a good time, until Zel receives a message - Another possible cure. He races the opposite direction, back towards their camp area. Lina looks at his retreating back, then whispers, "Zel..." with a tear threatening to fall from her closed eyes...

In the long sleepless night My thoughts to you
Are whispering 'This is love'
The quaking heartbeats that speak ceaselessly
Change into sighs mixed with a slight fever

Lina lies sleeplessly on her bedroll, constantly turning, trying to get to a more comfortable position. Beside her, Gourry is snoring loudly, and she tries to stuff her ears with the blanket to shut him out. Finally, she gives up and whacks him once, the returns to her bed. Suddenly, someone clears his throat loudly outside the tent, and Zel pokes his head in.

Give me smile and shine days With your smile
Then even the chill of the frozen night would be good and I can bear it

Lina smiles and sits up, making a space for Zel. He sits down next to her and offers her a drink of cool water, which she accepts. They sit in silence for a while, until Zel speaks up.

"So... Couldn't sleep, too?"

Lina makes a face and indicates the snoring Gourry.

"What do you think?"

"Oh well, at least it's better than having Amelia making one of her justice speeches in her sleep!"

"Oh my... Really?"

Zel nods, then they both fall silent again, content to be enjoying each other's company

Just like the rain in the middle of the summer
Your smile that moistens my parched skin is so very bright

Zel is back in his own tent, with a sleeping Amelia still mumbling in her sleep. He envisions Lina, smiling sweetly, then slowly lies back and falls asleep.

Give me smile and shine days
Don't suddenly be indifferent
Because no matter how hard it is, I will be able to scale the walls of difficulty

Lina and company are on the road again, with Zel striding on ahead. His face is sour - The clue turned out to be little more than a wild goose chase. Amelia tries to keep up with him and get him to cheer up, but he ignores her. Lina whaps Zel over the head and tells him to stop being so mean, then they let Zel ahead while they chat leisurely behind.

How much do I have to love you
So that these thoughts of mine would reach you?

Zel sighs and looks back at where Lina, Amelia and Gourry are walking. He focuses especially on Lina, and the view gets a bit blurred, as if by water, or tears.

I can't say it as you gaze at me
The words dance in the air

Lina stops and looks up ahead the road where Zel is waiting, and she sighs too. Her two companions pause and ask her if there's anything wrong, but she just shakes her head and continues.

The more I part from you, the more I realize that you are dear to me
The more I seek after you, the more I feel a painful distance
My heart

A cut screen of Lina and Zel, both looking serious.

Give me smile and shine days
Give me smile and nice days
If I can embrace you with these arms of mine...
How much do I have to love you
So that these thoughts of mine would reach you?

Lina is lying beneath a field of stars. She stares up at them expressionlessly while crickets chirp in an otherwise silent plain. She finally makes a face at some of her thoughts, then turns on her side, determined to get some sleep.

Even though I am certain that in my dreams I had been able to tell you -
Even if I loved you to the point of breaking down
I would not be able to tell you a third of how I feel
Pure feelings are racing on Not able to even say 'I love you'
My heart

Another split screen - Lina on the left and Zel on the right. They walk towards each other, then finally meet directly beneath the full moon. They are speaking too softly to be heard, but the discussion gets pretty heated, to the point where Lina has to restrain herself from whacking Zel a few times. Finally, exasperated, Lina throws her hands up and yells, "Why?! Because I LOVE you, you stupid idiot!"

Zel freezes and stares at her. She blushes and looks at her feet.

"Um, nothing, just ignore me. I'm just rambling, ha ha - "

Zel slowly whispers...

"But... I love you too..."

Lina's eyes widen, then she suddenly gives a happy smile and hugs Zel, who hugs back. The couple sit beneath the moon, holding hands and stargazing together...

Music slowly ends
