Promises
Blood was dripping everywhere. Fuma smiled. "Now you have well and truly lost. As have the Dragons of Heaven. Soon, Earth will be heading towards a revolution."
Weakly,Kamui lifted his hand and placed it over Fuma's heart. "No," he whispered. "Earth will continue on as always, living in the present. My only wish was to protect you and Kotori, and the world you live in. And even though I'm dying I'll always be in your heart. That way, no matter what, you will remember my wish and help me achieve it. That is what the living do. They remember the dead and thus, the dead and their wishes shall live on.
"Goodbye, Fuma."
Eyes widening in shock, Fuma could only watch as Kamui disappeared, the barrier of a Dragon of Heaven forming around Tokyo Tower slowly expanding to include the entire Earth. Slowly, memories of the past few days flitted across his mind. He watched as he plunged the Divine Sword into Kamui's hand, killed Kotori, toyed with Kamui and the other Dragons of Heaven and ruthlessly killed people.
He groaned, one hand coming up to cover his face. He remembered Kamui's tortured expression as he and Fuma faced off each other as Dragons of Heaven and Earth.
"I promise you that I'll always protect you, no matter what."
The words of his old promise echoed in his head over and over again.
"No." He whispered harshly. He had failed those he loved horribly. Killing Kotori and torturing Kamui. How could he have done so? He had broken his promise to Kamui. So much for protecting him from everything.
Closing his eyes against the pain, Fuma struggled against his turmoil. Kamui's words flit through his mind. "I want to protect you and this world you live in. And even though I'm dead, I'll always be in your heart. Thus, you'll remember my wishes and follow them."
"Very well, Kamui." Fuma whispered. "I'll do what I can for you. Atone for what I've done. I remember you, Kotori, Tohru-san, mother and father. I'll carry out all your wishes. I promise. This is my new promise to you."
