Konbanwa minna-san!!! You've managed to find this fanfic, which is just a piece of the insanity that hides in Marion's and Lilly's mind. This story came up from lots of chats between us and our RPG. Yeah we're obssessed fangirls who 'use' their free time trying to get into the minds of the X bishies. Anyways, this story is a kind of retelling of some of the major events on the X manga. Anyways, hope you enjoy it lots. XD
Warnings: Spoilers for all the X series, AUness [ LOTS of it ], and OOCness [ LOTS of it too ], shounen-ai [ probably WON'T get to yaoi ], angstiness [ again, LOTS of it ], blood, violence, torture, and ocasional messy english. [Give us a break! Marion's main language is French and mine is Spanish.]
Pairings: S/S, F/K, Su/K, Sei/F, maybe a reference to Sorata/Arashi and Kakyou/Hokuto, and nothing else. Blame the Tree for it.
Disclaimer: ;_______; Nuuuuu we don't own X, nor any of their characters, we're just borrowing them to have some fun with them, ne Marion ? Please don't sue! Anyways, X legally and by all means belongs to CLAMP. All of you go and worship CLAMP, like, now !
Ok, enough ranting go ahead and read the story. Feedback would be VERY much appreciated. Oh yeah and I skipped the whole Kamui-returns-to-Tokyo / the-Shinken-is-born / Fuuma-goes-psyco-and-Kotori-goes-bye-bye part 'cause at least most of you must know about it. Plus we hate Kotori and didn't want to write about her. Anyways, hope you like this.
Chapter 1: Bittersweet Moments
"Tadaima!" Kamui yelled as he returned to the house where he lived with the other young Seals, only to find that the house was rather empty. "Okaeri Kamui." came the response as he walked to the kitchen to get himself something to eat. He found Subaru sitting on a stool, next to the counter, reading a book. Subaru looked up, "How was school today ?" Kamui made a face and he poured himself some tea and grabbed a couple of cookies, then he sat next to Subaru. "Ugh, same as always. A bunch of teachers trying to kill me with stuff I don't understand because I missed half of the school year, the same teachers not bothering to explain, having to do extra schoolwork to get my grades up..."
Subaru sighed. "Wasn't one of your friends at school going to help you with your schoolwork ?" he asked. "Ah, you mean Segawa-kun ? Well yeah, he tried to help a couple of times, but I can't manage to concentrate on it." "And, may I ask why can't you concentrate on schoolwork ?" Subaru asked with a small, teasing smile. "Well, you'd find it hard to concentrate when you're thinking how to bring Fuuma back, how to avoid getting killed by Fuuma, how to avoid being molested by Fuuma, how to avoid killing Fuuma without causing the end of the world, you know, just everyday stuff." Kamui said. At least Subaru was glad that Kamui was somewhat better, physically and emotionally, since Fuuma became the Dark Kamui. He decided that at least some of it was due to his trip Within Kamui, some was due to the other Seal's being friendly, and some due to this Segawa Keiichi who was Kamui's friend at school.
"Yeah, I guess it must be hard with Fuuma occupying so much of your thoughts, ne ?" Subaru asked teasingly. Kamui turned red, "SUBARU !!!! It's NOT like that !!!!" The older man chuckled lightly, and then became serious again as he remembered the man who occupied his thoughts. Seishirou-san... He shook his head and then turned back to Kamui. "Well, how about if I help you go over your homework ? Maybe you'll be able to concentrate better here. That's it of course if you want to and I manage to remember what I myself learned in high school." Subaru offered with one of his small, rare smiles. If anything the younger boy before him reminded him of his own teenage years.
Kamui blinked at Subaru but then smiled and accepted. "Sure ! Sounds like a good idea ! If you still remember what you learned waaaaaay back in high school." he said giggling. Subaru pretended to whack him with his book. "Hey, show for more respect for your elders. And besides I'm not that old, I'm just 25." Kamui's giggles turned into laughter at that comment "Ok, I don't think you're old Subaru, and I'd really appreciate some help, thanks !" he said when his laughter finally stopped. "That's better, let's go get your books and stuff." Kamui nodded said and stood up, walking towards his bedroom, followed by the Sumeragi.
Kamui led Subaru in and sat at the desk, pulling out a book and laying in on the desktop. Subaru pulled the other chair in the room close to the desk so he could look at Kamui's book and help him. "Mmmm... I think I do remember this, mathematics hasn't changed too much since I was your age." he said, as he started to explain to Kamui how to work on each of the different types of problems he had to do for homework that night. The boy was still somewhat distracted by his toughts about Fuuma, and destiny, but the one who caused the most distraction at the moment was Subaru himself. After hearing Subaru explain the first two problems he'd make the mistake to look into the older man's eyes and losing himself in the pools of deep jade.
"Kamui? Did you hear what I just say ? Or are you thinking about Fuuma again ?" Subaru asked when Kamui didn't respond to a question he'd ask. He'd asked about Fuuma, but he was aware of Kamui's dreamy gaze fixated on him. "Huh ?" Kamui asked, snapping out of his trance. "Uh, nothing Kamui. How about if we stop this for now ? You seem a bit, distracted." he pointed out. Kamui blushed, "Um, sure. Yeah I wasn't really paying attention." How do you expect me to when your eyes are so distracting ! Subaru shrugged, "Oh well, I'm going down to see if either Sorata's home and cooking dinner or what can I make for dinner myself, care to join me ?" he asked. The other boy nodded shyly. "Uh, sure. I'm getting hungry."
Both Seals went to the kitchen, looking for Sorata, Arashi, and Yuzuriha, but they only found a note in Sorata's handwriting.
Yo Sumeragi-san, Kamui-san ! I invited Miss out to dinner and she accepted to go. She dragged Yuzu-chan along, [it was the condition she set up for going out with me]. I went to Kamui's room to invite you, but you seemed busy studying. Sorry, I didn't make anything for you to eat. We left about 6:30 so if it's not too late after that you may catch us up at "The Golden Dragon" Chinese restaurant. If not it's ok. See ya later!
Sorata.
"Mmm... Eating out sounds like a good idea. Want to join them or want to go somewhere else Kamui ?" Subaru asked after they both read the note. "Uh, I... I don't feel like eating Chinese, could we go some other place ?" Kamui said shyly, not looking at Subaru. "Sure ! Let me see, there's a nice, small japanese cafeteria nearby, maybe you'd like to go there for a change." the omnyouji suggested, painfully aware that Seishirou had taken him there once. "Um, sure ! It would be nice !" the boy replied, still looking at his feet. "Alright, let's go. If you're good I may even buy you dessert afterwards." Kamui blushed and interesting shade of red at this comment and refused to stop looking at his feet.

Fuuma sat in the 'throne' that had been Kanoe's but now he had taken as his, after all, he was /Kamui/. He sighed in boredom, there were kekkai to destroy, Seals to fight, humanity to destroy, and especially a Shirou Kamui to torture. The problem was it was boring to do it alone [except for torturing Kamui of course] and no one seemed overly interested in going with him. Kakyou had woken up long enough to tell him that he didn't need to attact any specific kekkai today, Nataku was in room reading through an encyclopedia so he'd stop asking questions, Satsuki was literally attached to her computer, Yuuto was at work, Kusangi was somewhere hugging trees or flirting with a 14 year old girl, and Kanoe, he was didn't even want to know what she was doing.
He draped his legs over one of the arms of the throne, and he lay his head on the opposite one, intending to take a nap, when someone came through the door. He looked up to find the Sakurazukamori looking at him with an amused grin. "So the great /Kamui/ is feeling bored today ?" the assassin asked him. "Yeah, how about you ?" Fuuma replied and returned the grin to the older man, who shrugged. "I already did my "job" for today so I have nothing else to do. Unless of course you have plans." Fuuma's grin became even wider, "Well, now that you mention it. Wanna go out for dinner with me ? Unless a Sakurazukamori is above such mundane things." Seishirou pushed his glasses down so he could look at Fuuma, "Oh, I never refuse an invitation Fuuma-kun. Do you want me to pay or have you stolen enough money from Kanoe to pay for both of us ?" Fuuma returned Seishirou's look with one of his own. "Well, if you offer to pay, then I won't stop you." Seishirou started to walk to the elevator, followed by the teenager. "No, you can waste Kanoe's money, and maybe we could do something else afterwards. It will be amusing to see her face if we spend a lot of her money." Fuuma just grinned and nodded his agreement. He couldn't complain about being bored now.

Subaru entered the small japanse cafeteria he hadn't visit in the last 9 years and looked around. Not much had changed, except obviously, the people who worked in it. A young waitress took both Seals to one of the small tables in one of the corners, that way they'd have some privacy. Both of them hated to be in very public places where they could be stared at. And since they made an odd couple, a young boy with violet eyes and a melancholic young man with sober green eyes, the possiblilities of being stared at where even higher. They took their seats and the waitress came back with the menus, something that, Subaru noticed, hadn't changed too much either.
"What will you be having Kamui ?" Subaru asked after a moment of staring at his own menu. "Um, I... I'll have this !" Kamui said pointing to an item on the menu. The omnyouji raised an eyebrow at Kamui's choice. "Raw eel sushi ? You really like raw eel, Kamui ?" The boy turned pink, "I, uh, not really. I meant this." he said pointing at the next item, which was miso soup. "Ah, that's a good choice. I'm going to have these dumplings here, I can share them with you if you want to." Subaru offered. Kamui just nodded and closed his menu, mentally kicking himself for having distracted himself by watching the older man again.The waitress came, collected the menus and left with their order.
As soon as the waitress left there was a rather uncomfortable silence between them, which fortunately or maybe unfortunately, was interrupted by two familiar voices. "Subaru-kun ?" "Kamui ?" The two Seals looked up to find two tall, handsome men dressed in black. "S-Seishirou-san..." the omnyouji looked at the Sakurazukamori, unable to hide his surprise. Seishirou grinned and pulled a chair from another table to sit next to Subaru. Kamui blinked and then looked at Fuuma, who was grinning in quite the same way Seishirou was. He did the same the Sakurazukamori had done and sat next to Kamui.
"Well what a pleasant surprise, ne Seishirou ?" Fuuma asked his companion. "Of course, it's not everyday that one meets with such a beautiful man just by coincidence." he replied, his grin never leaving his face. Subaru and Kamui looked uncomfortable, the former a mixture of anger and shyness, the latter afraid of the man next to him.
"What are you doing here Fuuma ?" Kamui asked. "Why can't I enjoy a dinner out once in a while ? I was feeling bored, so I asked Seishirou here if wanted to have dinner with me. Then we found you here and I suggested it would fun to have dinner together." Fuuma answered, and then leaned over to whisper in the younger boy's ear, "Though at first he didn't want to come to greet his Subaru-kun, I had to practiaclly drag him over." Kamui blushed and then pushed his chair away from Fuuma. "Oh, and by the way, it's not Fuuma. I am /Kamui/."
"Why are you here Seishirou-san ? Go away. I-I came here with Kamui." Subaru said not looking at Seishirou at all. "Awwww Subaru-kun. Don't you like me anymore ? Besided you cute little boyfriend is busy with his 'friend' /Kamui/." the older man said teasingly, just at the moment Fuuma was whispering at Kamui. "H-He's not my boyfriend, Seishirou-san. I just brought him here because he's been through a lot and he needs at least an attempt at normalcy." the omnyouji was still finding the top of the table very interesting to stare at. Seishirou smirked and lifted Subaru's face so he'd have to look at him."As if it was normal that cute sixteen year old boys go out with beautiful twenty-five year old men. Especially if they happen to meet former friends." Seishirou grinned and leaned to kiss Subaru, but was stopped by a hand on his face. "Go AWAY, Seishirou-SAN!" Subaru said and pushed his chair away.
Luckily for Kamui and Subaru, the waitress arrived at that moment with their order. "Oh, I didn't know you were expecting more people." she said. Seishirou smiled at the waitress. "Well, they weren't expecting us either, we just happened to drop by. We're old friends. Would it be too much problem to have my companion's and my orders here ?" he asked politely. The waitress nodded and went to see if their order was ready too.
"Seishirou-san, I asked you to go away. I don't think Kamui is very comfortable with Fuuma either." Subaru looked up at Kamui who was trying to get as far as he could from Fuuma, who was giving him a very seductive look. Seishirou decided to ignore Subaru and started feeding one of the dumplings to the younger man, who blinked and almost started choking on his food. Seishirou only smiled charmingly at him, while Subaru tried to regain control of himself. "S-SEISHIROU-SAN !!!" Fuuma stopped looking at Kamui for a moment to look at the other pair. "Hey, that's a good idea Seishirou !" he said. Then he wrapped and arm around Kamui's waist, pulled him to his lap, and started feeding him some soup. Kamui didn't choke, he just squirmed in panic in Fuuma's lap and tried to pull away from him. "SUBARU !!!" Unfortunately Seishirou had thought his was a good idea and had just pulled the omyouji to his own lap to finish feeding him.
How they managed to get through dinner, neither Kamui nor Subaru had any idea, but as soon as the Angels finished feeding them, they jumped off thier laps, and threw some money that was more than enough to cover the dinner. "What ? Aren't you two having dessert ? And besides, the waitress just brought our order. It's not polite to leave us alone before we even start eating, Subaru-kun." Seishirou said with his usual emotionless tone. "You're right, and it's not polite either to intrude when two people are having a meal together, much less if they ask you to leave." Subaru replied, effectively coping the same tone. Seishirou sighed, "You're no fun Subaru-kun. And I from the expression Kamui is wearing I dare say he's no fun either." Fumma chuckled "No, you're quite wrong there, Kamui is fun." Subaru sighed in frustration. "We're leaving. Ja ne Seishirou-san, as I think I'll be seeing more of you." Seishirou and Fuuma grinned, "Oh you both will." Fuuma replied. The Sumeragi took Kamui's hand and quickly led him outside the cafe.
"Can't complain about being bored anymore. Kamui is very amusing. I can only wish you cute Sumeragi was quite as fun." Fuuma told him companion. "Of course he was, he always is. That's why I've kept him around all these years. He's a very amusing toy." the older man answered as he ate his food. "Oh, he's your favorite toy I see. Do I even qualify a toy ? Or am just another piece of trash that you see in humans." Fuuma asked, curious about the Sakurazukamori's answer. "Oh, you're only my second favorite toy Fuuma-kun. And only because you're not quite as submissive as my Subaru-kun." Seishirou answered, leaning closer to stroke the younger Angel's cheek. "Good, because you're also my second favorite toy, Kamui being the first of course. And only because you're not quite as cute as Kamui." Fuuma said as he grabbed Seishirou's hand off his face. "But just remember, that the same way as you, I also like to break my toys." the younger man added.
