He just can't sleep. He couldn't believe Kamui stayed with the Hoshidians. Now, he felt like he lost the important treasure of his life and without her…he is nothing

-Days Earlier-

"Xander…withdraw your troops", Kamui commanded.

"Kamui…Don't tell me you're siding with Hoshido," Xander replied in concern.

"I'm afraid so. I've made up my mind. I stand with Hoshido."

"I feared the Hoshidians brainwashed you. I am well aware of your Hoshidian lineage. It is true that we lack common blood. But….we've treated you as kin since the very day you arrived in Nohr…in our lives. No matter what anyone says, you are my sister, Kamui," said Xander And the love to my life.

"Xander…."

"I know Leo, Camilla, and Elise felt the same way and if you do return to us, Father would forgive you. You are of Nohr! Return to us Kamui!"

Kamui turned her head to the side and clutched her hand to a fist. She fought back tears that were trying to escape from her eyes but she looked back to Xander and smiled.

"I'm…sorry. I can't go back."

"K..Kamui…why?" Xander asked.

"King Garon is nothing but a coward and a liar. I've witnessed enough of his destruction. For him to cause an explosion in a crowded city center, with no regard for innocent life. That…that is nothing but action of a madman,"

Xander tightly gripped onto his Siegfried. How dare her calling his father a coward and not only that …a liar.

"Tell me Xander…If King Garon thinks of me as family…How could he have orchestrated this attack? I could've been easily killed along with Queen Mikoto no….my mother. The truth is…I was just a pawn. Collateral damage. King Garon was willing to sacrifice my life in pursuit of his agenda," said Kamui.

"Please….stop…"

"Face it Xander. Garon is no longer human. He's pure evil," Kamui added.

At the word of evil, that is when he snapped but then he regained his composure.

"Father…evil? How could you say that, little princess?"

Kamui reached out her hand towards her brother..hopefully to change his thought. "Xander…join me. Join me and help me to put an end to his cruelty,"

"Kamui…."

Just as she waits for his response, suddenly, she noticed he lunged forward and swing his blade but thanks to her Yato, she blocks his attack.

"There is my answer….traitor…" Xander responded in anger but sadness.

"Traitor…? Brother wait! But Xander continue to pursue against her will by giving her more unexpected attacks which made her loose her balance. "ENOUGH! I never thought you would turn your back on your kingdom…and your family…." Even me…"Your betrayal will not be forgiven."

"Brother!" She continues to block his attacks, "Please…wait!"

"You want to side with Hoshido? Fine! OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Xander shouted in pure hatred.

"XANDER!"

Suddenly, his Siegfried begins to glow furiously and to Kamui's surprised, she begin to notice his eyes has shown no remorse and continues to attack her. She received multiple wounds and stumbled to the ground.

"You have been deceived, Sister..They've clearly brainwashed you." He points his Siegfried towards her. "I will not rest until I've returned you to your senses.. Get up! Get up and return to Nohr with me!" Please…I don't want to let you go.

Kamui weakly turns around and looked at Xander, "Brother…my mind is made up."

And with those words, he felt like a black hole took away all of his feelings. No…..Kamui..my love.. "I…I will end this quickly."

"ENOUGH!"

Suddenly, Ryoma appeared and retaliated. "Just try it, you Nohrian scum."

"Brother please! Can't we settle this peacefully?" Kamui asked.

"Heh. What's the matter sister? Lost your focus? I didn't train you to give up that easily," Ryoma replied as he smirked.

"Fiend….you dare think you can just take her away from me?" Xander threatened.

"Just spare me your complaints. Either shut up and leave or attack…but I dare you if you choose the second option," said Ryoma.

"A splendid idea,"

After minutes of battles and battles, Kamui, with a help of Ryoma, able to give Xander the final blow. Thank goodness the wound wasn't severe but Xander decided to withdraw for now.

"Don't you dare think it's over Kamui. Everyone, if Kamui ever set foot onto Nohr's soil, either view her as an enemy or capture her on the spot!" Xander ordered as he retreated along with his troops and siblings.

"DAMN IT ALL!" Xander shouted as he slams his Siegfried on his desk which causes it to shamble into pieces. Suddenly, there was a knock on his door and Elise walks in.

"B..Brother…are you okay?"

Sighing in response, he places his Siegfried next to his destroyed desk and sat on the edge of his bed. "..Yes…I'm fine".

"Brother….do…do we really have to kill Kamui….?" Elise asks as she shook in fear.

But all Xander can do is turn his head.

"I..I…I understand.." She closed the door and heads out. To his surprise, he heard Elise crying across the hallway.

By the gods. All of us are suffering. That does it. I will not sit by and allow Kamui to side with the Hoshidans.

Taking no chances, he gets up, grabbing his Siegfried, and heads out of his room. Just before he can reach to the main door, a voice stops him in his tracks. "Xander? Where are you going this time of night?"

He turns around seeing Camilla walking up to him with a concern look on her face.

"Sister…I…I've decided to go outside for a little while. Need a time for myself after this 'drama'," Xander responded.

"Oh…well alright. You better be careful," Camilla said as she turns around and heads back to her room. Sighing in relief, he opens the main doors and heads to the stables. There, he equipped his horse, hopped on and galloped from the stables and into the open fields.

I am coming for you Kamui and this time, I will not take no for an answer.

-v-

"Sister, where are you going? Sakura asked as she sets up the table.

"Oh, I was about to head down by the river. Maybe to collect some peaches as well," Kamui responded as she readies herself.

"Well hurry up then. Don't want you to miss my special cooking, " Rinkah replied as she readies the pot.

"Oh gods not now…"Takumi groaned.

"Heh heh. I'll be back." Kamui leaves the gates and head for the creek. She sat down and placed her feet onto the nice, refreshing water. Sigggh. Feels nice. Don't worry mother. I will make sure to avenge you and all of Hoshido will be free.

Suddenly, she begins to feel an eerie sensation and she turns around but to find nothing behind her. Hmm…must be my imagination. Might as well head back home. Grabbing her Yato, she heads towards the path of her homeland until suddenly, she a chill running across her spine. Brrr…it's cold. I should bring a nice fur coat next time Suddenly, she bumped onto a strange obstacle. She noticed that the strange obstacle was a horse. But to her surprise, she began to notice that the horse was wearing…Nohrian armor?

"Kamui…"

Just as she turns around, she suddenly felt a huge blow impacted onto her stomach. Unable to determine who it was, she begins to black out but then was caught by strong arms. Before she allows the darkness to take her sight, she slightly saw golden curly hair and the same Nohrian circlet. " If my words cannot move you then..I'll bring you back by force. Let's go home…little princess."
