-Hokuto Sumeragi's School of Flight-


Disclaimer: Clamp owns Tokyo Babylon and X/1999, and probably a bit of my soul too.

Warnings: Avoid further reading if you have fear of the following: Bishies, Angst, Yaoi Action, Assassins, Shikigami, Humor, Fictional Water and/or Reading.

Note: THERE IS YAOI-ISH ACTION IN THIS CHAPTER! If you don't like it, you will need to skip half of it. However, its not overly explicit, so fear not. There is also somewhat of a spoiler for Seishirou and Subaru if you haven't seen the Rainbow Bridge incident.

This section, too, is dedicated to Nori-chan!


Lesson Two: When in doubt, ask for help!
She was determined, more so than she had been in several years. (Oh, nine-ish years, maybe) She was even willing to ask him, the man that had taken her life without remorse. So what if she had asked him to so her curse could take effect? That was only a small technicality when he had disobeyed her intentions.

She crossed into his dreamscape...and was immediately violated.

"S-seishirou-san...w...wait..!"

Ueno park was serene without the looming sense of death. Sweet pink petals descend in a dance from the many surrounding trees. Then there was Seishirou Sakurazuka, molesting a cheap imitation of her brother while the REAL Subaru was on earth as a melancholy assassin longing for the embrace of death while bordering a state of insanity, minus the "bordering" part. He was the cause of onii-chan's problems yet here he was, groping the teen onmyouji in his pure white shikifuku as the boy panted and squirmed against the older man's fully dressed form. They sat comfortably beneath the largest of sakura tree around them. That Subaru was so not as cute as her Subaru, even his blush wasn't as adorable as her twin brother's.

Geez, Seishirou. Geez.

Ignoring the increasingly exposed state of the boy somewhat like her brother, she approaches from another side of the tree. She could produce a large mallet and beat the man who had destroyed her hopes to a pulp, that would be fun! She could destroy the jerk face neglecting the real Subaru Sumeragi and had used him as a suicide tool. She should...

"Hiya, Sei-chan!" she beamed, almost glowing in her merriment. The onmyoujis started, Seishirou probably scorning the failure of his adept abilities learned as an assassin while the other blushed darkly and curled impossibly close to the older man while drowning in tangible embarrassment. The assassin regains his composure to smirk darkly at the offending visitor, not ceasing to half-rape teen-clone!Subaru, enlisting a muffled moan from the coiled form. Cocky bastard...

"Sei-chan, I need your help immediately!" she informs with false urgency. His amber eye locks onto her and he smiles kindly, much like he had as a veterinarian. "I'm obviously busy at the moment." he pleasantly informs, referring to the trembling boy in his arms. He returns all attention to him, dismissing the girl.

Oh, no, he didn't...

Mallet time!

The large weapon shadowed over the man and she returned his previous dark smirk.


Later on... (Anti-yaoi-ists may resume reading.)


"W-why are you doing this again?" Kakyou Kuzuki asked nervously, large talons clamped onto his seemingly frail shoulders. He looked up at the very large, hawk-like shikigami who stared back in interest. This idea...worried him.

Sakurazuka gave a side glance to the formidable woman he had once called friend, not that he meant it. "She has a way with words." and mallets. Seishirou, growing bored, offers a smile to his still-flustered Subaru-kun who he somehow felt the need to keep in tow. Cute entertainment, perhaps. He directs a nod to his ever obedient shikigami and it takes off with the waifish blonde man in it's clutches.

It soars high, causing the wind to dance through the man's long hair and tear against the weightless cloth of his clothing. He releases a sigh and slowly smiles. No, not one of his awkward plastered smiles created only to ease Hokuto's moods, but a genuine smile. Soon, other small dreamscape birds join them as if migrating. His carrier waivers, it's head turned toward another bird.

She was lovely, the wind ruffling through her clean white feathers creating an enchanting effect. She glides elegantly, tilting every so often. Maybe, just maybe, it was her form of an invitation! Surely she's impressed with my strength and grace...this is my chance!

The shikigami's attention falters, the male Sumeragi gasps loudly.

KERSPLASH!!2

"Well, it worked for pterodactyls..."


Sky: 0

Sea: 2


Notes:

Shikigami: A spirit summoned by an Onmyoudo practitioner.

Shikifuku: A ritual uniform.

Hokuto's mallet is actually a reference to the Clamp in Wonderland video where she used it to bash in Sei-chan.

Pterodactyls were parodied to cart off people to their nests to feed them to their babies, sadly, there's a horror movie about that. Terrified, aren't you?

Review...purdeh please?
