"When I return home " - a translated Russian song (sung by I have no idea who, but she sounds a lot like Kenshin! Oro...)
A RurouniKenshin songfic (RK is owned by Watsuki Nobuhiro and Sony, etc etc etc) by Nadya N.

NOTE: for those who don't know what a songfic is, it's a fanfic based on the lyrics to a song. Works kinda like a music video.

Original (translated) song lyrics in black, here

[Songfic scenes in blue here]

[Scene: Kenshin walking through the forest alone, returning from his travels. He sees Tokyo ahead of him, and eagerly keeps going to it.]

When I return home

[(Begin dream sequence) Kenshin envisions himself approaching the Kamiya Dojo]

Winter will come to the earth

[He pauses as it starts snowing, lost in memories for a second. A ghost image of Tomoe appears only for a moment]

My old teacher will open the door

[He suddenly remembers his visit to Hiko...]

And say "hello, my son."

[...and his words to him about Kaoru and/or Tomoe]

Under the magic of warm words

[He envisions Kaoru running to him, welcoming him]

Cold and darkness will retreat

[Kenshin looks back, and sees Tomoe smiling "it's all right" to him]

And I will sigh in relief

[Kenshin sighs in relief, and follows Kaoru to the dojo]

Stepping through the old door.

[Kenshin steps over the threshold of the door]

(sound of door shutting - it's actually in the song too!)
[...and shuts the door]

When I return home

[Kenshin envisions himself looking around the room]

Fire will dance in the hearth

[He sees a welcoming fire...]

Warming up the cold fireplace

[Kaoru is cooking food and smiles at him.]

And with it, my soul too

[He doesn't even wince at the thought of Kaoru cooking, but smiles because he's home]

And by the shard of a blade

[He sets the sakabatou against the wall]

A hand will brush by helplessly

[His hand touches it accidentally, and it falls]

"Please, forgive me,

[(Kenshin says that)]

I broke my sword in battle"

[(Kenshin says that), Kaoru smiles a confused expression, then tells him it doesn't matter, and suddenly kisses him on the cheek, blushes, and tells him the food is ready.]

[a pause. Out of the dream, Kenshin smiles to himself, then his expression changes, and he stops to think in front of the Kamiya dojo.]

When I return home

[Kenshin envisions himself coming to the Kamiya dojo through a
snowstorm. He suddenly stops.]

You will not be there

[Kaoru does not run out to welcome him.]

You aren't even waiting for me

[There is no one at the dojo at all, it is abandoned]

Freedom was dearer than feelings

[Kenshin sheds a tear, and hastily wipes it away]

You sit somewhere alone

[Kaoru is sitting at another house, looking up at the sky. Snow is
falling.]

Playing with a star in your hand

[She looks back down into her hands, where she has unwittingly crumpled
a paper star]

Refusing to believe

[Kenshin sighs, and walks away from the dojo, back into the snowstorm.]

That I will return someday.

[(End of dream sequence. End of song.)

Kenshin looks around. While he
was thinking, he hasn't even noticed that he came to the Kamiya dojo. He
stops to think about that last daydream, and waits, uncertain of coming
in. It begins snowing, and he sees a ghost of Tomoe smiling to him "It's
all right". Kaoru runs out of the dojo, happy to see him, and they
embrace, as Kenshin's worries disappear.]
