The code beside the one-shot or short I've created, are going to be the chapters.

Disclaimer: Honestly I don't want to do the disclaimer, but since I wrote various of crossover pairings and half of them I have no idea where they come from, so I guess, I'll have to do it anyway. I have lots more disclaimer in Livejournal, but you know, I'm too lazy. Meh.

Let's see:

- Tokyo Bablyon, X/1999, and Tsubasa Reservior Chronicles belongs to CLAMP

- Kuroshitsuji belongs to Yana Toboso

- Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou belongs to Gosho Aoyama

- 'Why' belongs to Ayaka

- Pandora Hearts belongs to Jun Mochizuki (Slight reference)


Title: In Which Kamui is part neko. AU

Pairings: Subaru x cat!Kamui, Shinichi x Rabbit!Kaito - Shinichi/Kaito are my favorite pairing, and they are still my favorite. Read 'A Phantom Thief' by mangaluva, it's one of the best stories I ever read. I also suggest one of my own called 'To Court A Critic', but I've sort of have left it in hiatus a bit.

Category: X/1999 x Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou

Rating: M - Torture Scene and Deaths ((A/N: Gin makes an appearance in this one, and the Dark Kamui, the one who supposedly 'possessed' Fuma, is going to be Kamui's twin. Might follow Detective Conan story line, or not, your choice to choose as I might have included the Black Organization. The reason Kamui is part cat, is because of Black Organization's experiments.))

Genre: Drama, Angst, Tragedy, Hurt/Comfort, Romance

Warming: I'm sorry if the characters are a bit OOCiness, but that's what made this shot more fun to write about. This one also, I have reasons for this one as well. As I said before, Gin is one sadistic and scariest person I ever saw on Detective Conan, but that also makes him one of the greatest characters of that anime/manga. Oh yeah, as I mentioned before, this has Cat!Kamui in it.

Note: Somehow the thought of Seishiro meeting Vermouth, Vodka and Gin, is probably one of the scariest thoughts I ever had. Not to mention the fact that Vermouth is very skillful at disguising as someone else to get close or to assassinate a person. Though it's an interesting idea, I'm not sure which one will win in a battle. If it was Tyki Mikk from D. Gray-Man against Seishiro, the obvious one is Tyki. I mean he could go through or touch objects whether he wants to or not. Now Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth against Seishiro, that I'm not sure since Gin and Vermouth trained themselves to stay awake through any sedated drugs, which might include illusion as well.

Other than that, I just thought of something that would be very interesting and will kill the enjoyment for Seishiro and Fuma, who decided to target Subaru or Kamui. If you add Akai Shuuichi into X/1999, you'll have to rethink of how to go around that body guard in order to get to Kamui or Subaru. Why? The reason, he'll always be two steps or one step ahead of you. If you watched Detective Conan ep.425 on Youtube you'll understand why, Akai is one hell of a scary but cool person to see. In a way, he is similar to Gin, well without being sadistic and is similar to Kamui, but Akai searches for the Black Organization since he is a FBI and he wants revenge for the murder of his girlfriend. Gin and Akai are partners, not the term for lovers, I meant for workers. Since Akai is a FBI, he needs to infiltrate into the Black Organization, and at one time, was partnered with Gin for work. So in other words, Gin and Akai's relationship isn't the same as Seishirou's and Subaru's or Fuma's and Kamui's. Sadly, Akai wouldn't be in this plot no matter how much I want to see it happen. Now, on with the shot.


((A/N: Me: Hokuto-chan, could you come here for a sec? Hokuto: Sure, what's up? *I whisper into her ear about the plot, and she squeals in excitement* Me: So are you willing to help? Hokuto: I'll be crazy if I ever were to pass this chance. *Both me and Hokuto grinned at Kamui with diamond glinting eyes, Kamui shivers* Me: Oh Kamui Hokuto: We have something we want you to wear for this one, Kamui-kun. Kamui: *steps back out of fear* Er, no thanks, I think I'll go, now. *starts running, both me and Hokuto look at each other and ran after him* Me: Kamui-kun, come back! It's just only for this shot!))

Hearing a thud against his front door, Subaru open the door to check if someone is there. When he looked, there isn't but when he looked down, he blinked and turned pale. There is a teen with brown hair, in a white button up shirt with blue jeans, wet, beaten up, and lying on the ground in front of his door step. Shakily, he scooped up the teen and closes the door. Setting him on the bed of one of the guest rooms, Subaru went to fetch to First Aid Kit and the spare pajamas he has. When he came back, Subaru stood at the door with his mouth gaped wide open. There is a tail. A freaking long brown tail attached to the teen from his butt. Subaru putted down the items he brought, hesitantly with his hand shaking, he reach over to the teen's hair, and started scratching what may look like an ear of a cat. The teen let out a purr and out of reflex, Subaru pulled his hand away fast, eyes wide, took some steps back and covered his own mouth to not make a sound.

This is the teen he found in front of his door step. Check. This is the teen he found in front of his door step, wet, beaten up and unconscious. Check. This is the teen he found in front of his door step, wet, beaten up and unconscious, and he is part resisted to groan and head wall, he could not believe that on this rainy day, is the same day he finds a teen, in front of his door step and is also a neko. He rubbed his forehead with his fingers in a circular motion, although his main field is being an onmyoji, he has no clue on how to take care a person who is also part cat. Not to mention, that purr the teen made is certainly adorable, he blushed and that's when he heard a noise. A whimper, concern he went closer to the teen and notice that the said teen look flushed and his breathing is uneven. Using the back of his hand, he touches the teen's forehead and nearly yelps at feeling the searing heat on the boy's head. The kid is running a fever, Subaru narrowed his eyes at seeing some of the teen's clothes have been ripped or torn, like someone has been trying to sexually assault the poor kid.

"What happen to you…?" Subaru asked softly. Nothing, the teen continue on sleeping silently. Knowing he isn't going to get any answers anytime soon, Subaru change the teen's clothes with the spare clothes. Bandaged him up with rolls of bandages and ointment, the teen didn't refuse the care, but he whimpers occasionally. After finishing up on the physical damages, Subaru put away the First Aid Kit and came back with pills and a glass of water. Giving the teen the medicine is easier said than done, as he propped the teen up against the bed post, he tried not to think of anything when he put the pills in the teen's mouth and down his throat, before helping the said teen to drink the water. The teen didn't resist and put the teen back down comfortably, and Subaru grabbed another glass of water before waiting until the teen's fever broke.


Amethysts eyes flutter open, the teen groaned softly at the feeling of aches and pains running through his whole body, it almost felt like it on fire. He he gave up the thought of sitting up and settle for lying down. His eyes tried to recognize the surroundings of the room he is kept in, paranoia sky rocketed in his brain that something about this room is off. He would've sat up, but his body is too tired and besides the bed is too comfortable to be something like theirs. He shuddered about thinking that, and absently wondered why he is afraid of someone's name without knowing who theyare. The clothes he is in, isn't his or the ones he wore before he collapsed. He can feel the stiffness of bandages wrapped around his wounds. So someone had patched him up before they are going to torture him again. The teen thought bitterly, but he wonders who is it that he kept on referringthem to? He tried to think hard, but his mind kept on coming back blank with a nauseating headache. So he gave up the thought of trying to remember, that is until he can stand on his own.

He looked to his right, eyes wide at seeing a sleeping man in a chair right next to him. Even though the man himself is sleeping in an uncomfortable position, the teen himself continued to stare at the man, willing him not to wake up. If this mas is with them, he will be forced to be back with them, he needs to escape. So trying to sit up, he let out a pitiful whimper when pain shot through his arm; that certainly did wake the man up. The teen stared in horror, green eyes looking at him tiredly before blinking and the man smiled at him in relief. That left the teen confused, relief? What for?

"Good morning." The man said, the teen, not trusting his own voice, or what's left of it, nodded hesitantly. The man doesn't seem to mind the lack of response and proceed to answer one of the questions on the teen's mind.

"I've found you in front of my door step, unconscious and beaten up." The teen blinked at this, the man didn't say their name at all. The teen wasn't sure whether to be relieved or not, noticing the pain on his face, the man helped the teen sit up against the bed post.

"Do you know how you got here?" The teen tried to think again for the answer, but all he came up with is blank and a painful headache. He must have made a sound after grabbing his head in pain because the man got out of the room in a hurry and came back with two pills of pain killers. He held them out to the teen, the teen look at his outstretched hand with wary as he slightly letting go of his head. The teen thought it over, reached for the pills and swallowing them in his mouth before grabbing the glass of water that was handed it out to him the next. He swallowed some of the water; the cold liquid soothed his dry throat.

"You can't remember, can't you?" The teen handed the man the cup and shook his head, the evidence is obvious that he can't remember what really happen. The man took his cup and set it gently on his bed side.

"Do you remember how you got the tail and the ears?" The teen touch his tail tentatively as if he just noticed it was there, and shook his head. The man hummed, his green eyes narrowed in pure concentration.

"Can you talk?" The teen narrowed his eyes at him, as a retort to his amused question. The man chuckled softly, that was a definite yes answer.

"Do you have a name?" The teen look at him thoughtfully, the word sound found foreign to his own ears before he shook his head. The man looked at him sadly.

"You don't even remember your own name, do you?" The teen nodded mournfully, when he saw the man raise his hand slightly, he closes his tightly, cat ears flat, brown tail lying stiff, as he wait for the impact. There wasn't any, instead the man's hand rested on his brown hair, and ruffles it. Hesitating, the teen opens them and look up at the man with wide amethysts eyes. The man looks at him and smiles sadly.

"If it's alright, do you mind if I name you?" The teen blinks and he opens his mouth.

"A name?" The man smiles more, a bit less sadly.

"Yes, a name. It represents who you are and what you like to be called. I have a name as well, my name is Sumeragi Subaru." The teen blink and tried to say his name out loud.

"Soo-mer-agi Soo-bah-roo." The pronunciation of the man's name is apparently very correct as he smile at the teen happily. The teen blinked, unsure why the Subaru is smiling at him happily.

"That's right; you can call me Subaru, if you like Kamui." The teen blinked.

"Ka-mu-I." The name rolled of his lips, the name itself is very familiar and yet it still doesn't make him remember enough. Subaru smile at him as he massaged his scalp gently.

"That's the name I'm going to give you. You don't mind having that name, do you?" The recently christened Kamui shook his head, he really didn't mind.

"That's good, I brought out some food. For you to be sleeping for two days, I'm certain that you are hungry." Subaru is about to let go when Kamui grabbed his wrist, brown hair hiding his eyes.

"Why?" Subaru smile gently at him, he gently pried off Kamui's hand on him and held it in both of his hands.

"Do I need a reason to help someone out?" Kamui's violet eyes widen as he look at Subaru in shock. Subaru smile at him, he let go of his hand and walked to the kitchen to get the take out he brought earlier for both of them to eat.


A week ago, Kamui is always silent. Barely talking and showing any emotions. However, tonight was different. Waking up to a sound of Kamui screaming, it would be a miracle if his neighbors didn't hear it. Pulling off the blanket, Subaru rushed to Kamui's room in panic. Kamui is shivering, his brown tail curl around himself protectively, his ears are flat against his head as he rock back and forth as if to reassure himself. Subaru cautiously went closer and heard sobbing, his voice in mantra as if to try and forget what happen in his dream. Concern, he strides over to Kamui's bed and cupped his face to look up. Frightened and hollowed tearful amethysts eyes stare at him made him stand there, Subaru is struck at how broken the teen actually is.

"Please make them stop! Please! Please! They've already have their fun with me, but why do they have to kill her? Why do they torture him as well? Hadn't he suffered enough? Make them stop!" Kamui sobbed as he grabbed Subaru's shirt, not realizing that he is out of his dream, stuck in the flashbacks of memories. Kamui continued to sob, and cried into his shirt. Subaru did the only thing he could do, he held Kamui close, rubbing soothing circles on his lower back and whisper soothing words in to his ear.

"It's alright. I'm not going to let anyone take you away from here. You're safe, you're away from them. I promise. " This made Subaru realized, if he could really keep that promise to Kamui, but the image of Kamui's current face compare to the blank and mature one he always wore, unsettles him. Feeling the teen's shoulders trembling and refuse to let go of his shirt, Subaru lies down on the guest bed with Kamui on top of him, still crying. Whatever had caused that memory to surface certainly scared Kamui to the core and making him into this state; Subaru being Subaru, decides not to ask now and comfort the teen in any possible way he can. Kamui's tears has lessened, throat raw, and slept into the wonderful warmth that Subaru provided him. Subaru having trouble sleeping after witnessing this; slowly close his eyes, and dreamt with Kamui. In the morning, he is going to call an old friend.


"A nightmare?" Shinichi look at Subaru in surprise, Kaito blinks at this, one of his rabbit ears with a black clover insignia twitched in curiosity.

"Yeah, it's strange. He just woke up, screaming, telling me to make them stop and asking me why they have to kill and torture two people he cares about. One is clearly a girl, the other is a boy. The question is who are them and what have they done to Kamui?" Kaito paled at this, his white rabbit ears on high alert.

"Kaito-kun?" Shinichi look concerned with his house guest, Subaru looks at Kaito with concern as well.

"Does this Kamui have brown hair, amethysts eyes, age sixteen, cat ears and tail?" Shinichi looks at Subaru who hesitantly nodded. Kaito sighs in relief, a bit of color on his face, before slumping into a chair.

"What about his twin?" Subaru is alarmed, Kamui didn't say anything about having a twin, and then again, he doesn't remember anything before collapsing in front of his door step.

"Kamui has a twin?" Kaito look at Subaru and nodded.

"You didn't know, Kamui and Kaeru((A/N: Kamui's dark side from X/1999, I've decided to give him a name)) are twins. Joint from the hip, willing to sacrifice for one another, wh-" Kaito paled in alarm at realizing what had made Subaru alarm, Shinichi grimaced at this.

"I was only able to find Kamui on my door step. Judging from his wounds, there is no way he could come here alone. Kamui's twin, Kaeru, must have brought him halfway, hid him somewhere, before collapsing." Subaru said, slowly growing pale by the minute. Shinichi continued for him.

"The people that had been keeping Kamui and Kaeru in captivity must have caught Kaeru, brought him back, no telling what they would do to him. Not to mention they are probably still searching for Kamui. Waking up without his brother there, and no memory of what happened, Kamui continued to walk, and out of all the people he chosen in the flats of your apartment he steps in, he chose yours, Subaru-san." Shinichi said softly before looking at Kaito, pale as he is, and he looked very worried. Shinichi wondered; did Kaito see something before Shinichi, himself, found him in the alley with a vacant expression and brought him in.

"Kaito-kun, was the one who did this to Kamui-san and Kaeru-san, did this to you?" Subaru regaining the color on his face, watch Kaito nodded and very pale.

"Do you know where they are?" Not trusting his own voice, Kaito shook his head to Shinichi's question. Shinichi, very worried, pulled Kaito up from his seat and into his room, before coming out sighing.

"What is going on? It's clearly that Kaito-kun, Kamui-san, and Kaeru-san exists and yet looking for their records, they aren't there or registered."

"Could they have been the missing kids five years ago?" Both of them remembered that five years ago, kids started to go missing in an inconsistent pattern. No, it was longer than that. It stretched for ten years. The memo of how they disappeared is the same, being lured by a beautiful blond woman with sharp blue eyes and into a black Porsche.

"If they are, then there is no telling how many other children are like them and how many in totaled have escaped, found, dead or alive?" Once again, they've come up with a dead end.

"I'm going back. I'm going to make sure Kamui is ok." Shinichi nodded, he needs some time to think over this before contacting his contacts.

"You do that, also try and find out if Kaeru-san is still alive or not."

"Yeah, make sure Kaito-kun is feeling better, k?" Shinichi's hand stopped him from going out of the door, green eyes look at him questioningly.

"Subaru-san, have you broken out of it yet?" Subaru knew what Shinichi was talking about; after all, Shinichi was the first person Subaru turn to about that incident.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about; I'm talking about their deaths?" He rather not be assaulted by memories, but that was his fear. Knowing that he is not responding, Shinichi figures out that he hadn't.

"Judging from your silence, I guess you hadn't. You can't let the past consume you, if you do. You'll lose another." The older man snapped at him.

"You don't understand-"

"I understand enough." Shinichi cut him off sharply, blue eyes looks at him fiercely.

"If you keep on doing this, you'll lose another person precious to you. You can't replace those you've lost, and you've can't replace those you've gain. You've have to protect those you have left."

"How do you know this?" A sad smile slowly weaved on the young detective's face.

"I lost Conan-kun and Ran to a murderer. I thought of lot of possibilities of what ifs and what could happen, I didn't move on. This is before I met Kaito-kun. I didn't realize what I was doing, until I nearly lost him." A small smile appears on the detective's lips.

"He may be annoying at sometimes, even when he smiles, but there is a sense of loneliness in his heart. He lost something, and I'm willing to help him gain it back."

"…you love him." Shinichi blinked at this before he ran his fingers through his hair and gather his thoughts for this explanation.

"…It may not be the same as when I love her," Subaru knew that Shinichi was referring to Ran. "but the feeling is strong and the same." Then his blue eyes snapped towards him.

"Don't lose sight of who is important to you."


Subaru is worried, he remembered conversation he had with the young detective. It's possible that Kamui is one of those kids that were kidnapped five years ago. Shinichi's guest, Kaito, was found two years ago and he is one of the missing people, while Kamui was found just two months ago. Shaking out of his thoughts, he looked at the sleeping teen; he slept against his shoulders, a book on his lap. Brown cat ears down and twitch ever so slightly, his tail curled around Subaru's waist to make that Subaru is really there. Kamui is slowly recovering, his heart is slowly opening up, but his memories still haunt the neko in his dreams. They won't let go, they are attached to the teen like a leech. When he wakes up, silver water trails down his cheeks and not for the first time, Subaru felt helpless that he couldn't stop the unsought of nightmares that assault the teen when he is asleep. Even if he is an omnyoji, dreams and the heart itself is difficult to pull a person out of it.

Earlier when Subaru was getting ready for bed, a soft and hesitant knock rapt his bedroom door and he opens it. Kamui didn't look at him; he looks down too afraid, too scared and ashamed to ask. Subaru frowned, he already knew that Kamui is broken and that he is slowly healing, but there are some pieces of his heart that are left raw and shattered. So he reached for the neko and pulls him close.

"It's ok to ask, I'm not going to hurt you. You already know that." Hearing Kamui's breath hitched, his hand trembling to hold on to his white shirt, and he cried. Subaru held him, softly soothing his back with soft rubs, his own heart reached to the teen. Whatever the teen has experienced is most likely a nightmarish experience and he didn't dare himself to think or ask what Kamui had witnessed. It came to him that Kamui was tortured, somewhere by those who kept him, his twin, and Kaito. That there is a possibility what he is dealing with are dangerous people. What he could now is to comfort the teen in any possible way to not return to his own fears, and drive away the nightmares that haunted the teen, and hopefully the people are looking for Kamui, will stop searching.

Few weeks later, Kamui began to smile and laugh, he is still a bit scared around several of people, but when he is around Subaru, he stays very close and doesn't want to leave him. Subaru thought what Kamui is doing is very cute, and gave him affectionate scratches behind his ears making him purr or softly stroking his hair in comfort. Kamui just blinked at him confused, but there is a sense of longing and attachment that he only wants Subaru to do this to him. When he voiced it out, Subaru's cheeks turned slightly pink and he stuttered, making Kamui even more confused. On that month, Kamui was able to determine his feelings for the older man a strong affection emotion, that the humans called love. Very scared, he refused to say it out loud, knowing that Subaru is still healing himself from his own demons and decided to wait.

A year went by, Subaru open his flat door after the day's work of needing an omnyoji and felt a sense of dread as he saw his own apartment torn and ransacked. His first instinct was to find Kamui, worried about the teen's safety. When he reached the teen's bedroom, he paled further, blood splatter off against the wall, and there is a trail of blood being reluctantly pulled from his room to the mid way of his hallway. There was scratch marks, and those scratches turned to ten trails of blood. Whoever had came by, had found Kamui and he failed to protect him like he promised.


Kamui, not for the first time, back against the wall, eyes stared horrified as a tall lean man, dressed in black with long platinum blond hair, green eyes cold stared at him with icy maliciousness. The man smiled at him coldly,

"Hello, Shiro Kamui." Kamui swallowed, this man was from his dreams. The man smile turned into a smirk.

"Do you realize how much trouble your brother and you gave us when you've escaped, like that Rabbit." He bit his tongue, he tried not scream in pain when he felt the man used a knife on his battered arm.

"I'm not surprise that you don't remember me, after all I did a number on you in all the name of science." Kamui cried out in pain when the man stabbed his hand hard with his knife.

"Then again, I'm willing to bring back those memories so you could watch them die in front of you, over and over again." The man's voice is full of malicious, Kamui closed his eyes hard, and he didn't want to remember their deaths. He already have enough of the nightmares that been coming into him at night. Her screams in pain, while Fuma is restrained, Kaeru unconscious and he, Kamui, laid on the ground, heavily injured and watched helplessly. This man tortured them mercilessly in enjoyment.

"You know, your brother is very amusing. He fought very well, until he broke and I killed him." Kamui turned pale when the man's companion brought in and threw a dead body in front of him. His twin's eyes closed, but there were bullet wounds on his arms, knife wounds on his face, legs, neck. A ghastly cut on his chest from some sort of sword. He died of slow death. Kamui wanted to reach over and hugged his brother's corpse, wishing everything is just a dream for him and that he is back in that warm flat with Subaru. He glared at the man, who looks at him with cold amusement. He then pulled the teen from his hair, violet eyes in pain and the man whispered into his ear.

"Tell me, who is your caretaker and I'll make you into the obedient pet you were once for them." Kamui glared, Subaru deserves some peace; he didn't deserve this. He, himself, didn't deserve to live because he was the one who caused his brother and their deaths. He didn't deserve Subaru. But Subaru, was able to reach him, make him live again; make him feel so alive that the thought of Gin murdering the omnyoji scared him.

"No." Gin frowned before he threw a punch into Kamui's already bruised stomach. Kamui gasped at the pain and winced when he was slammed against the stone wall.

"That was not a request, tell me who and where your caretaker is, experiment." Kamui gave him a death glare, angered; Gin slammed him hard against the wall. Kamui felt like he is seeing stars, as his ears flatten down in pain. He felt slightly light headed; his abused tail in pain for being pulled, twisted, and stepped on. Blood ooze from his forehead, Gin let go of his head and he collapsed onto the ground hard.

"Do you know the reason you've failed to protect them? It's because you are weak." He could barely open his eyes when Gin said that, and he welcomes the darkness, allowing it to swallow him whole. He wasn't sure how long has he been unconscious, it could've been days, weeks, months, or even years, but he is glad that Gin didn't get the information from him. He will not let Gin touch Subaru, and if he is dead, none of this would ever happen. He stayed deeper in his heart, watching and re-watching his memories until hands grabbed hold of him, turned him around and hold him close. This familiar scent, akin to his own, so familiar and yet he doesn't remember that scent anymore.

"I'm sorry; I've got you into this mess." Kamui wrapped his arms around his twin.

"No, I'm sorry for being so weak." Kaeru pulled away, wide violet eyes before they narrowed down at him, annoyed.

"You are not weak, Kamui. You were stronger than any of us, even when we were kidnapped and tortured by them." Kamui looked down at this.

"That doesn't help the fact that all of you died because of me." Kaeru frowned at this.

"Hey, you weren't there when I died. I never blamed you, nor did Fuma and Kotori when they died."

"I know, I just wish that I was stronger and all of you were here." Kaeru shrugged, he knew that feeling.

"We all did, once in a while. I wish that I was able to meet Sumeragi-san so I could evaluate him for taking care of my brother." Kamui's face turn beat red.

"KAERU!" Kaeru laugh at this, Kamui soon joined in the laughter, his blush gone. Once they stop laughing, the twins look at each other with a smile.

"You know, he is waiting for you." Kamui's cat ears went down, and Kaeru sighed.

"What is it this time?"

"I don't think I deserve to be with Subaru." Kaeru groaned, was his brother ever this depressed after he died? He bonked his twin's head slightly making Kamui yelp and look at him in surprise.

"You're an idiot to not notice how much you are affecting that guy." Kamui blink, Kaeru's frown turn into a small smile.

"He was so worried when you went missing, for three days straight he kept himself awake to try and search for you himself. Very admirable, but it's stupid." That small smile turns into a huge grin. "Besides, it was hilarious when his friend knocked him out with a tranquilizer gun that can be mistaken as a watch." Then that grin turns into a small sad smile. "When he heard you were brought in to the hospital by the authorities, along with the rest of people kidnapped by them. You were rushed into critical, but you fallen into a coma, he rushed all the way here. He noticed the signs and tried to come in to get you from your heart, I sort of stopped him in the middle and ask if I can do it instead." Kamui look at him in awe before he blushed and looked down, making Kaeru chuckle at how cute his twin is acting.

"So I'm guessing, you're not really him, are you?" Kaeru looks at him astonishment, before he smile sadly.

"Yes and no, I may be him, but the real Kaeru left a part of him in you, and I'm that part. He lives with you, as long as you keep on living, he keeps on living with you inside your heart." Kamui look up at him and smile sadly.

"I never did say goodbye to him." Kaeru looks at him.

"Yes, but he did say it to you." Kamui looks at Kaeru with a sheepish face.

"Then can I say goodbye to you?" Kaeru smiles softly at him before he ruffles his hair.

"When you're ready to let him go truly, even if you did, that part of him is still here." Kamui smiles at him.

"Thank you, Kaeru."

"No problem." Both twins smile and look up at the endless black sky.

"He's waiting for you. Why don't you wake up to ease his worry?"

"Yeah. Thanks again, Kaeru."

"Just keep on living, Kamui."


When Kamui woke up on his hospital bed, he felt something warm holding on to his hand. He looked, a blush slightly on his face along with a brilliant smile at seeing Subaru sleeping on the bed and holding his hand tightly. This scene is almost familiar to the time when Subaru found him in front of his door step. So he quietly sat up, graceful as a cat, well he is part cat now. His other hand reached and removes some of the bangs on the omnyoji's face. Kamui smiled sadly when he noticed slightly dark rings under his eyes.

Feeling a slight movement on his hand, Kamui squeezed it back gently, it woke Subaru up. Green eyes look at him with relief, pure happiness, and a slight fear. Kamui look at him, his cat ears content while his brown tail swished happily.

"Ohayou Subaru." Wide green eyes, and then Kamui found himself engulfed in a tight embrace. Kamui returned the gesture, and he nuzzled into Subaru's neck, he purred happily.

"I'm so sorry, I promised you that you won't be unharmed and I let you down." Kamui smile sadly and pulled away gently from the older man's embrace.

"No, I'm sorry from making you worry about me and making you feels lonely." Kamui said as he gently touches the older man's face. Subaru held it there before he pulled it off and kissed his palm. The feeling, made the neko feel a tingling sensation in his body as he blushed. He let out a mew, and Subaru pull Kamui's face gently close.

"Will you forgive me for unable to hold that promise?" A warm smile spread on Kamui's lips and he gives a quick peck on Subaru's lips.

"You were already forgiven, Subaru." Subaru smiled, and he hugged him close.

"I love you, Kamui." Kamui purred in content, and he leaned in close to allow himself to be bury by Subaru's scent.

"I love you too, Subaru."


A pair of near identical people stood next to the door, one of them smiled as his sapphire blue eyes soften. The other, violet shaded blue eyes smiled at the door as well.

"So he's awake, that's good. I'm getting tired of babysitting that guy despite how old he is." Kaito silently chuckle at this, and Shinichi turn his annoyed glare at him.

"Well he did needed you're help." Shinichi blush and looked down, Kaito, with one of his white rabbit ears raised look at him in confusion.

"Shinichi?" The young detective hugged the man close, allowing a genuine smile to spread on Kaito's lips, he hugged him.

"I never did admit that I was afraid, but when you disappeared for five years. I missed you, and when I found you. You look so…." The detective's face is pulled up and he is being kissed thoroughly by the man in white, like those five years ago. The thief pulled back, allowing a small smirk as he saw his lover in a daze.

"Let's not talk about this now; there is still plenty of time to talk. Right now, let's get those two to have time alone." Sensing there is something more along those lines, Shinichi blush and looked away, making Kaito chuckle in amusement.

"Barou. Promise you won't go anywhere without telling me."

"I promise."
