My heart began to thud. My eyes became blurry. My mother smiled her sweet smile, and walked out. My knees became numb. I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't hear. I couldn't even see. All I could do was think. My heart was constricting into itself.

"Ah, Kamui-sama, it has been awhile. You've grown a bit since Tokyo. Or maybe it's because I'm not wearing those boots; they made me taller. So how are you?" he asked. I snapped out of my thoughts and became angry.

"What are you doing here?" I snapped through my teeth. He still had that same smile plastered on his face. I wanted to wring his neck until his corpse was no more. But I couldn't. My hands wouldn't move. I could feel my face get hot. Was I blushing? No… I've never blushed once in my life. I can't be blushing. I won't blush. I could hear a deep humming in my ears. My head became hotter.

"I'm here because I wanted to see how you were doing. So… this is your house? I take it my brother isn't chasing you anymore? Well… I bet he's trying anyway. Yuuko told me about the price that your family paid so you could stop running from him. It turns out that Seishiro-niisan double crossed me. Hm, I'll have to get him back for that." He said, smiling down at me. That couldn't be the only reason that he was here. He didn't care about me… he didn't care about anyone… I think… I stared at the ground. My head was pounding, just as my veins were pounding, coursing blood into my heart. I swallowed. "Anyways, Kamui-sama, how have you been?" I didn't answer. He had no right to ask me that. "Well… I need a favor. Can I stay here for a few nights? I need to deliver something in this world." He said. I looked up at him.

"No! Go rent a motel or something!" I replied, my eyes watering from how angry I was.

"Heh, well, you see… I don't have any money. Please, Kamui-kun? I really need this." He said, scratching the back of his neck. His eye brows were twisted in an awkward motion. I sighed and looked out the window. It was about to storm. My heart was pounding so loud, I thought it was going to burst. My head was feeling fuzzy.

"…Fine. Just don't say anything to anyone here! I'm in the middle of a family reunion." I pushed the words through my teeth. He smiled and nodded.

"Great, then I should fit in perfectly." He said. I rolled my eyes.

For the rest of the day, I stared at Fuuma, making sure that he wouldn't do anything. My relatives seemed to find him 'charming'. What part of him? Every part, I guess. He would continuously look my way, even though our eyes never seemed to meet. I hated him. I hated him so much, that it wasn't even funny. My mind was on fire at the moments I saw him. Why was I reacting to him like this? I couldn't understand it.

Later that night, at around 11, when my family went home, I went up stairs to my room. Subaru smiled as he walked in my presence.

"Kamui-sama, I'm going to sleep in the living room…" he said. I sat up in a panic.

"What? Why? What's going on?" I asked, my head was still throbbing. He chuckled- that same chuckle that he only showed around me- and walked down stairs. I followed.

"Because, Kamui-kun, the couch is way too small for Fuuma, and Mother might trip over him in the middle of the night. He's going to sleep on the floor in our room. Okay?" Subaru said. My entire body sulked.

"No! Can't he sleep in the bath tub or something!" I yelled. Subaru shook his head and set up some blankets on the couch for himself. I walked back up stairs, my frame still dulled and gloomed, and I sat on my bed. Fuuma walked in and sat out a sleeping bag for himself. He did it rather fast. I guess that was a small thing to catch up on when you travel worlds like this. I got under the covers and faced the wall. My bed was pressed against the fortification; this way I didn't have to stare at Fuuma. He flicked the lights off. I listened to his breathing, his heart beat, the rain, and his movements. His heart was calming, actually. It had a steady beat. It almost made me fall asleep. When the room was dark enough, I turned over to face Fuuma. He was on the floor, staring at the ceiling. His hair was shining in the dim light, along with his glimmering amber eyes. He looked at me. I blushed. At least he couldn't see it.

"Thanks for letting me stay here." He said. I gave a blunt 'what ever' as he continued to stare at me. "And one more thing, Kamui-san." He said, his gaze unmoving.

"What?" I demanded. He smiled.

"Good night, Kamui." He said. In that moment, he stood up and walked over to me. He leaned down. I thought he was going to hurt me, but I still didn't move. He kissed me on the forehead. My head went light and my vision became blurry. How strange, indeed. I didn't expect this at all.
