Kamui* awoke bright and early to gather the Dragons for a little talk. It was becoming harder and harder for him to sleep day by day, not only did he have the fate of his world on his shoulders, but now he had to deal with 4 people from another world as well. 'Rather annoying…' Kamui thought nonchalantly as he patiently waited downstairs.

One by one the Dragons came down, also showing obvious signs of lack of sleep. Even the indestructible Sorata was showing signs of weariness, as he came down and immediately ordered a cup of coffee. "Morning Princess" he jokingly teased with a wink at Arashi. She in turn scowled causing Yuzuriha to laugh uncontrollably into her sleeve. Turning back to business, Sorata looked at Kamui. "Alright then. What's the big deal?"

Kamui took a deep breath. This wasn't going to be easy. "Well, they're looking for…"

"Hokuto Sumeragi. Right…Kamui?" A cold shiver went up Kamui's spine at the monotone voice that spoke.

"Su…Subaru?! I didn't know you would be here…." Kamui went into a plethora of excuses, barely recognizing his own pleading voice. Subaru said nothing else, just walked calmly to a chair in the living room, plopped down, and stared at them. The other Dragons gave each other questioning looks, as if asking 'why the hell is he so calm?"

Subaru* stared into their faces and suddenly grinned. "Listen, Regardless of what I am now, obviously I work for no side so you can just tell me what's going on."

Sorata's face turned into a questioning scowl; Arashi and Yuzuriha showed a little pity. No matter what, Subaru had chosen Seishirou's* eye and was officially an Angel, which obviously placed the Seals in a complicated situation. Kamui looked at each of the members' faces and decided to just tell him.

"Alright. Well….you, Fuuma, Seishirou and I have somehow come from a different planet sent by some guy and they're goal is to 'protect' Hokuto Sumeragi. This leads me to my next question. How did you know about it?"

Subaru's face gave nothing away as he calmly walked over to the kitchen where the Seals stood. "Kakyou told me of course. Now, moving on, what are you going to do about them?"

Everyone other then Kamui knew that Subaru was spouting total bullshit. On any other given day, the mere mention of Hokuto was enough to drive Subaru into a depression, and Seishirou's name was taboo. Today, they had not only mentioned Hokuto, but they had also just expressed to him that Seishirou (if from a different universe) had just arrived looking for her. Any other given day he would be catatonic.

"Well" Kamui started hesitantly. "The real question is why would this man ask them to make sure that a dead woman is safe? He never showed them a picture, obviously never told them she was dead, and told them they can't go back unless they find out she was safe."

They all sat and thought a moment before Subaru spoke up, raising a brow. "Wait, did this guy know about the war for our planet?"

Arashi shrugged. "What do you mean?"

"Well I mean, this guy is dumb. He gives travelers to a different planet a target with no information on her or her background. I mean, if they didn't speak our language, it would taken them years to even find out about Hokuto. Yet I have a feeling this guy knew a little bit about our planet, and realized that eventually we would run into each other. However, think about it, what if the world was to end soon? It would be pointless to even come."

Sorata's brows furrowed. "It would be, except for one thing; he would just have to ensure that Kamui won…"

Everyone's eyes widened at this realization, but were unable to speak of it as Seiichiro came in dripping water, blood and tears.

"She's dead, Karen is dead!"

Subaru's eyes fluttered as he awoke to a warm body snuggled up to his own. Blushing faintly, he sat up to discover Kamui curled into a tight ball and his eyes widened in disbelief to see Fuuma curled up around him, arm pulling Kamui to his chest.

Not wanting to start the inevitable fight to the death bound to happen, Subaru tiptoed out of the room quietly and into the quaint living room to see Seishirou sitting on a couch.

"Seishirou-san!" Subaru beamed at him, walking up quietly. Seishirou's eyes opened quickly, a flash of bright yellow in his eyes before it returned to the soft honey-gold color. "Seishirou-san, did you fall asleep in here?"

Seishirou looked around him. He could remember the night before how Kamui had ushered he and Fuuma out of the room into their own and how Fuuma had said something about sleeping on the couch…for now. He could vaguely recall lying in the bed drifting into sleep, but that was all. How he ended up in what he could now identify as Subaru's room, judging by the loud noises from Kamui and Fuuma being emitted from the bedroom, he had no idea. It was with this realization that he casually lied to Subaru.

"Oh yes I did Subaru-kun, I just wanted to make sure you were okay through the night."

A small grin played on Seishirou's face as he watched Subaru say something lightly then blush as he saw he was still wearing his nightgown and meekly say something among the lines of I need to get dressed. He watched as Subaru hesitantly entered the newly appointed war zone before he turned back around, his eyes narrowing dangerously. No one got away with messing with him, and he would definitely find and kill anyone that thought they could get away with it.
