Seishirou glanced at his lovely prey, heaving in breaths as if it was he himself who was losing oxygen. "Subaru-kun…" Seishirou began with a smirk. Subaru growled low, his sister's dead body lying peacefully on the ground. Seishirou's smirk vanished, replaced by an unreadable expression. "Subaru, did you feel that?" Subaru looked at him, his expression feral. "Feel what?" he began in a slow drawl. Seishirou felt a tug at his lips, he knew it was sick, but Subaru was nigh unresistable at that moment. Watching his anger peak was intoxicatingly good, and Seishirou wanted more. "Did you feel him wake up; Kamui's other half, his twin star." Subaru merely glared at him. Walking a little closer, Seishirou continued.
"Just like you and I Subaru, we are two halves of a whole." Seishirou reached his hand out towards Subaru, but he backed away, tears forming. Subaru's anger had settled a little, and now other emotions were begin to rack him. In a blink of an eye, Seishirou had disappeared, leaving Subaru by himself with his deceased sister. As all of these emotions began to plague Subaru, a sudden rush of peace came, than everything became black.
Subaru awoke on the beautiful beach he had met Kakyou on before. "Subaru…" the man whispered. Getting up, Subaru saw Kakyou's eyes were hollow, and he couldn't raise his voice above a whisper. "She is gone…yes?" Subaru nodded solemnly. Kakyou sighed heavily, than glanced at Subaru. "The time has come Subaru, to think about your Wish, and what it is you want." Subaru scoffed. "That's easy, I want Seishirou dead." Kakyou nodded. Subaru was beginning to feel a strange pressure as his heart began to beat faster and he started to sweat. "Think…" was the last thing he heard Kakyou whisper as he awoke.
"Uh…Agh!" Subaru murmured as the touch set him on fire. Fluttering his eyes open, he recognized Seishirou's broad frame even in the darkness. "Agh!...Seishirou-san, what are you…uhh…doing?" Subaru was angry, but the passion roiling within him seemed to overtake everything as Seishirou's hands continued their exploration of his body with his mouth following their trail. Seishirou nipped at Subaru's ear before whispering the answer into it. "I'm saying good-bye, my little Dragon of Heaven." The deep bass of Seishirou's voice sent shivers down Subaru's spine. "You killed my sister! There's no way I want you." Seishirou smirked, and continued the actions with his hands. "Doesn't sound like it to me" he added as Subaru released a loud groan.
Their lovemaking that night had been inexplicably good. Perhaps it was the mixture of strong emotions inside of Subaru, but he was more passionate than he had ever been, allowing Seishirou deeper and closer access then he had before. Seishirou, on his part, seemed to be enjoying himself as well. Each man in his own right was giving and receiving so much pleasure, they didn't even realize when it had becoming early morning. Finally noticing the early rays of light, Subaru collapsed onto the pillows, taking several minutes for his breathing to return to
normal. He could smell the smoke Seishirou was releasing from his cigarette, and mumbled something about not smoking before a deep, calming sleep overtook him. "Think…"
Awaking in late morning, all traces of Seishirou was gone. Subaru couldn't even smell the smoke. Frowning slightly, Subaru took in his surroundings; he was at his grandmother's house. Only his faith that his grandmother was too encased in grief to take too much note of her younger grandchild did Subaru not blush a tomato to shame. Putting on his clothing, Subaru began the small trek around his childhood home. He felt tears sting his eyes as he glanced around at all the places he and Hokuto used to play. "Hokuto…" Subaru whispered. "I have failed you." A light hand was placed on Subaru's back. "You have done no such thing; brother." Turning around, Subaru saw his sister's smile outshine everything in view. Subaru tried to smile but couldn't, he had failed his sister. First he could not save her, second, he could not avenge her.
"You say you have failed me for what? Not being able to save me when it was I who did not want to be saved?" Hokuto stated this with her usual wry grin. "Or is it, that you cannot kill the one who killed me?" Subaru grimaced and held back tears as Hokuto grabbed his hand. "Subaru…it is ok to love someone, even Sei-chan. I know it may not seem in his nature to love back, but you must be strong, and hold onto your Wish, it will come true." Subaru blanched. "But I can't bring you…" Hokuto cut him off. "Oh hush, saving me is not your true wish Subaru." Subaru felt tears streak his face. "Yes it is, I love you." Hokuto nodded, but continued her explanation."Yes as I love you. But, you love someone else as well, and you can save him while he's still alive." Subaru was going to question her more, but she cut him off, signaling no more. Left with only one last question, he asked. "Hoktuo-Chan…what ever happened to our ears?" Hokuto laughed slightly, it was a bit weird not having her kitty sensibilities anymore. "Well, it seemed I owed a little more to fulfill your wish, so that was the second payment." Standing up, Hokuto pulled her brother into a hug, only now, she wasn't a 23 year old vixen, only a 16 year old one. "I love you brother," she stated, before vanishing away.
For some reason, Subaru couldn't generate tears. His sister was gone, but only physically; she will always be with him in his heart. Now it was time to fulfill his wish, and in order to do that, he needed time. Unfortunately, there may not be a lot of that left, that's why he had to fight to make sure there was. Walking briskly back to the house, Subaru caught his reflection in the little pond. He looked different, a bit older, a bit more wise, and a lot more grown up. Smiling slightly to himself, he headed inside. It had begun.
Ok guys, that is the end of Under My Skin! Yayy! But be merry, there will be a sequel! woot
