Kamui spun wildly around, disoriented. The footsteps were getting louder. No! his mind screamed. The corridor was in pitch-darkness. Where was he? What was this place? His heart raced, pulse sped up; shivering and sweating, he dashed madly, straight ahead. All the time, the footsteps were getting louder. His breath now coming in despairing sobs, he struggled to free himself from the bonds of terror lurking at the gate of his heart, slowly creeping in. Kamui stopped short. Thud… thud… where were the footsteps coming from? They seemed to be all over the place! He started running, but stopped again and sp-
Whump! A strong hand gripped his neck and smashed him into the wall. Pain racked the boy's body and he struggled in vain.
"Kamui…" the familiar Voice of Death echoed through the corridor, sending a jolt of shock and realization through him.
"Fu-u-ma… put me… down…" he tried to loosen the grip on his neck, but it only seemed to get tighter. Kamui was choking, fighting for air.
"I told you before, Kamui, I am 'Kamui'," the Dark Kamui sniggered at him, tightening the grip on his neck again. Kamui was gagging; and even in the dark he could faintly see the usual smirk set on the Dark Kamui's face – in so close proximity was he.
"Remember, you will die in the end…" his ex-friend said.
"No… Fuu…ma……" Kamui was trying hard to keep from blacking out.
"I WILL KILL YOU," the Dark Kamui repeated, and with that, slammed him into the wall once more. The world around him went spinning and the evil laughter of his foe rang shrilly in his ears……
Kamui sat straight up in bed, panting and perspiring profusely. It had all been a dream, he thought. But it had been so real… too real. With a shudder, the purple-eyed bishounen recalled the Dark One's last words, "I will kill you…" and that smirk. It was too real, just too real…
With a sigh, Kamui got out of bed, washed up and went down to join the rest for breakfast.

Author's note: I got this idea when I was walking home. Each day, I pass by this dim and rundown condominium, and a chain of shops. Anyway, it was just after the exams and I was going back when there was this guy at a dis~~~ce from me and oh well, imagination takes its place and this lil' ficcy came up. I know, for those who've read the manga, that it's a bit like that dreaming scene in I-can't-remember-what-volume, but this one is totally mine, no ideas from there!!! ^.~
