Hmm... since Kigai Yuuto is one of my fave chara on X,
I thought I'd try to write a story about him. And since
I think he and Karen would be a lovely couple... *shrugs*
hope you're enjoying this!

"Well, hello. We meet again, Mister!"
I have to grin at the Seal in front of me.
"Hello to you too, Sorata-kun."
The young monk laughs and holds out his open-palmed hand.
"Shall I make a kekkai... or are we goin' to be
civilized today?"
I put one hand over my chest in mock hurt,
"Sorata-kun! I'm always civilized, though I don't know
about you... and to tell you the truth, I'm not in the
mood to hurt my old body today."
"Yeah, exactly my feeling," he relaxes his stance,
a worried frown crossing his face.
"So... I bid you farewell, then," I bow slightly,
"please give my best regards to your comrades. Especially
to the beautiful lady."
"Karen-san?" the young man raises one eyebrow and
laughs, "You're one smooth guy, you know? Okay, I'll tell
that to her."
"Mata ne!" I wink at him.
============================================================
"Are you leaving, Kigai-san?"
I turn around and grin, "Hai. Mata ne!"
"Sayonara!"
I exit the building with a sigh. Today has been quite
a long day. Many parents came and registered the
names of their children... and most of them weren't
very patient in waiting their turns.
Suddenly I feel very thirsty... spotting a small cafe
nearby, I obey my impulse to drop by and maybe, to
enjoy a cup of coffee... or beer, perhaps. I grin to
myself imagining it.
The waitress leads me to a small table for two. Too
bad I'm alone. Maybe I should've phoned Satsuki-chan.
Next time, I guess.
I look around me... my eyebrows shoot up in a mixture
of surprise, amusement and annoyance when I see a face
that I recognize 3 tables from mine. It was the lady...
the beautiful pyrokinetic lady. I truly didn't expect
to meet anyone I knew, Seals or Angels, today. But since
she's here... and alone too, hopefully I'd be able to
avoid any battle. I'm just not in the mood to use my power.
As if she knows she's being watched, she turns to look
at me. I see she recognizes me as well. Her beautiful
eyes widen in surprise then narrow in doubt. Finally
she smiles and walks towards me. My heart begins to beat
faster, I don't know why, but I try to keep my usual
cheerful persona.
"Well, it seems that we meet again," she begins
smoothly.
I smile, admiring her perfect appearance, "It
seems so, ojo-san."
She laughs, "'Ojo-san' is definitely not for me.
Inappropriate, the way I see it. But since we don't know
each others' names, I guess it'd do."
"Are you alone?"
"Hai," she shrugs, "I have an urge to enjoy a
serving of sundae here."
Obeying my impulse again, "Would you join me,
then?"
"I assume we're not starting to fight again?"
she smiles mischievously.
"Oh, the battle can wait," I grin, standing up
and pulling a chair for her, "Please."
"Arigato," gracefully she accepts my offer,
"I suppose we're going to be civilized today?"
"How can I not be civilized in front of such
a beautiful lady like you?"
"You're flattering," she puts one hand under
her chin, "But I guess I'm looking more beautiful than
the last time we met."
I raise one eyebrow at her, "You are very
beautiful, make-up or no make-up. And I'm being brutally
honest here."
"A very smooth man," the lady chuckles.
"But not a gentleman," I reply apologetically,
"I'm Kigai Yuuto and since we're going to be enemies,
might as well we know each other."
"My name is Kasumi Karen," she bows her head
slightly, "How are your comrades, Kigai-san?"
I dismiss the question with a wave of my hand,
"Forget our battle and fate just for today, Kasumi-san.
Let's pretend that we're just normal human beings who
are trying to enjoy the coffee and pastries of this
cafe. Don't you agree?"
Her laugh is like a music, "Very well. I guess
we can pretend that this is a perfect world today."
The waitress comes and serves my order, coffee and
waffles.
Kasumi-san smiles, "You like sweet things too,
Kigai-san?"
"Hai," I nod, "But I try to keep it low. It's
not really good for this old body."
"If you're old, then what about me?" she glares
at me good-naturedly.
I smile sheepishly, "Sumimasen... but you're
not old at all. Definitely not older than I am!"
"You're flattering again," she winks.
"Ah, but I'm telling the truth," I defend
myself, "I wager every man would tell you that... and
especially your koibito!"
She blushes a bit, "And who says that I have
one?"
"There would be no way you don't have any!"
I exclaim.
"Kigai-san, since we're enemies and I have
this feeling that I could trust a secret to you...,"
she trails off.
I look at her questioningly, "Yes?"
"Do you have someone that you like, Kigai-san?"
"I don't know if I can call this feeling 'like'
or *that* 'like'," I answer honestly, "but hai, I think
I do like someone."
"Does the person know?"
"Iie. Doshite?"
She takes a deep breath, "What will you do if
you like a person, but that person is fully attached
to someone else?"
I look down at my coffee thoughtfully. Why is she
asking me this? Is she in love with one of her fellow
Seals? But most of them are very young. Sorata-kun,
Kamui, the young girl with inugami, the shrine maiden
and the head of the Sumeragi clan... oh, wait...
there's the salary-man... He seems to be a bit older
than her... is it him that she's referring to?
"Is there absolutely no way that person will
be attracted to you?" finally I ask.
"Ah," she laughs, "Perhaps there is something
between us, Kigai-san. But he is very devoted to his
mate."
"I see," I fall silent.
The silence stretches. She puts her hands under her
chin, her eyes taking a daydreaming look.
"I don't suppose you've ever had that kind of
problem," her voice startles me, "After all, you're
very handsome. I'm sure that many women love you."
"But the one person I like is totally devoted
to her loved one too, Kasumi-san," I reply a bit
bitterly, thinking about Satsuki-chan and Beast.
"I'm sorry to hear that," I can see sincerity
in her voice.
Putting my hands over my cup, I smile, "Ah,
it's not something to be sorry about. So we are in the
same situations, I assume?"
"I think so."
"Is it difficult for you, have to meet the
person you love everyday and can't do anything about
it?" I can't resist the urge to ask her that.
Her eyebrows shoot up in surprise, "You know
whom I love?"
"I think I have quite a good idea who he is,"
I smile, "It's not that hard to imagine which one of
the Dragons of Heaven you like."
"You're very smart," she smiles too, "no wonder
Sorata-kun often speaks highly of you."
"He does?" I chuckle to myself.
"Why, yes. But I haven't answered your question,"
her eyes glaze over for an instant, "Yes, it is hard...
but to see him smiling and talking gently... Those alone
have already made me very happy above other things."
I nod, "I see..."
"What about you, Kigai-san?" she asks earnestly,
"Is it hard for you?"
"I feel the same way as you do," I reply slowly,
thinking about the rare occassions when I can witness
Satsuki-chan's cute face smiling.
"We are so pathetic, aren't we?" she laughs.
I smile bitterly, "That we are, Kasumi-san...
That we are."
Another silence fall upon us.
"Tell me, Kasumi-san," I surprise myself by
asking yet another question, "Why do you accept your
position and fate as a Seal? Why do you want to save
humanity?"
She looks at me for a long time, a sweet smile
on her lips, "Kigai-san... Kamui... the Kamui of my
side said something which struck true to my heart. Do
you wish to hear it?"
"Hai," I wonder what that sad, emotional boy
possibly said.
"He said that 'this world'," she quotes him,
"'this world exists because of the people I care
about are there. If the people I love do not exist,
then my world is ended'."
"It's quite selfish," I argue, "What if he
no longer care about someone? Then will he do nothing
to save his precious humanity?"
She shakes her head gently, "For Kamui...
there will always be people that he loves. People
that are precious to him... even your [Kamui]. He
will do anything to save humanity... because in this
world, there are people that he hold dear."
"Ah," not an intelligent response, I know.
But that's all that I can say. I have no idea what
to reply to her.
"Well, Kigai-san," she smiles, "Tell me.
Why do you want to destroy humanity?"
"To save the Earth," I give her my best
innocent smile.
Kasumi-san laughs, "Somehow I don't buy that.
There's more to it. Won't you be sad if the people
you care about die if you destroy humanity?"
I think about my younger sister. Tomoe...
"Hai, I will be sad, of course," I answer
thoughtfully, "But I believe the sacrifice is
needed if we want this Earth to stay alive."
"You Angels really don't have people that
you're concerned of, do you?" she lets out a resigned
sigh, "Oh, except for you maybe, Kigai-san. But
for the others, I don't think..."
"I don't think so too," I cut her with
an apologetic smile, "At least Nataku-kun has no
soul. Sakurazuka-san bears no feelings towards
anyone, and..."
"Ah, please stop," she raises a graceful
hand, "We shouldn't be talking about our comrades
like this. And didn't we agree to just enjoy this
day without thinking about our destiny?"
"Please forgive me," I chuckle, "Let's
talk about something else, then."
A comfortable silence falls again. She is looking
at me appraisingly. Satsuki-chan said that this
lady works in a soapland. I believe it's because
the nature of her work that she's looking at me
the way she does right now. And somehow... I feel
flattered...
"You're very good-looking," she says in
pure admiration.
I feel myself blush slightly, "Arigatou."
"Even...," she smiles, "... almost too
pretty... you pay a good deal of attention to
your own look, correct?"
"Sou desu ne," I grin, "I want to always
look good..."
"And I can understand," she hides a smile
behind her hand, "Why shouldn't you? I mean, why
waste what has been provided for us, correct?"
She sips her coffee casually.
"What would your [Kamui] say if he finds
out about our chit-chat here?" Kasumi-san looks
at me seriously.
I shrug, "I'm sure that he's already
known, Kasumi-san. After all... he *is* [Kamui]."
"And you're not worried?" she smiles.
"Not at all," I grin, "[Kamui] knows
what's best... and I am afraid of him, I freely
admit that fact... But what else can I do? If
my Future is to die in his hands, so be it."
"Ah!" she exclaims, "You see? That's
the difference of us, the Seals, and you, the
Angels..."
"I know," I smile thinly, "We believe
that our Future has been determined."
"And we do not," she finishes for me,
still smiling at me, "No matter what happens,
we believe that our Future is ours and ours
alone. Only I can set the Path of my own Fate.
Not even God can do it. All God does is setting
my chances and my possibilities. But I *choose*
my Way. Because human beings are blessed with
the freedom to choose his or her Destiny."
"Blessed? Or cursed?" I sigh and close
my eyes.
She chuckles softly, "Definitely blessed,
Kigai-san. I would very much hate my life if I
were not given this freedom to choose."
I look at her a little disbelievingly,
"Would you, really?"
"Let me put it this way," she props her
chin on one hand, looking thoughtfully at me,
"Suppose... you were given two choices by Fate.
One, you live... but a relative of you dies. You
get to enjoy life until... say, 83 years old.
But for the consequences, your ten-year-old niece
dies because your relative isn't there to prevent
an accident that happens to her..."
"I'm listening," I nod.
"And the second option is," she raises
two slim fingers, "you die at 30 years old, but
your relative lives... and this relative of yours
manage to save your niece. Your niece lives until
she's 60 years old. Which one would you choose?"
I sip my drink, my mind scanning both
possibilities thoroughly, "It is difficult,
Kasumi-san. It's not just about my life..."
"Exactly. So you see? Destiny is not
foreordained for us. Future is not determined for
us. We, and we alone can determine Future. We alone
can set our Path," she finishes, letting out a deep
breath.
"I see your point," I reply, still
thinking about Fate, Destiny and choices, "But I
still..."
"I know," she gently covers my hand with
her own, "And I absolutely have no intention
whatsoever to make you bertray your fellow Angels.
I don't intent to change your mind. I was... I
was merely explaining my views."
She stands up and walks around our table. She
bends down to my level and softly... she kisses
my cheek...
"I have to go now, Kigai-san," she clasps
my hands warmly, "It was most pleasuring to talk
to you."
I smile up at her wistfully, "The next
time we see each other again, Kasumi-san...
please raise your kekkai. Please fight me with
all of your might."
"I will," she walks away from me, looking
over her shoulder at me for the last time and
smiling, "For *my* Future."
I look at her graceful figure.
"Yes... Karen-san," I whisper, "prove to
me that our Future has not yet been determined.
Prove that humans are free to choose their own
Destiny... Prove it to me. Even if you have to
kill me..."

Notes:
Yuuto's characterization here comes from someone's
opinion on CML (CLAMP Mailing List) who said that
in her opinion, Yuuto is a pacifist. An absolute
contradiction with Karen, I say!
I thought I'd try to write a story about him. And since
I think he and Karen would be a lovely couple... *shrugs*
hope you're enjoying this!

Destiny... Prove it to me. Even if you have to
kill me..."

Notes:
Yuuto's characterization here comes from someone's

contradiction with Karen, I say!
