Wow, chapter ten…a decade!
Ok, so there's going to be a small background music thing here, dedicated to our wonderful Subaru Sumeragi! The song is called, "Heartbreaker" by Mariah Carey. I picked it out randomly…not much of a fan of such types.
Enjoy!
Chapter 10: Broken Hearts to Evil Glares
"Oohhhhh the agonnnyyyyyy!!!" Subaru whined loudly with his face hidden behind his palms. He leaned forward and balanced both his elbows on his knees, letting his teardrops trail down his fingers and onto the floor. "Ohhhhhh the pain!!!!!"
Fuuma had managed to escort the Seals away from the Yamanote Line station and catch up to Subaru at his house, plunged into complete despair in the corner of his room, avoiding any means of sympathy or condolence. Young Yuzuhira sat worryingly at his feet, while Karen stroked the back of his head gently, trying to assuage his anguish.
"Don't cry, Subaru-chan. I'm sure Seishirou-san didn't mean to hurt you like that at all!" Yuzuhira said kindly.
"Life is sooo unfair!!!" Subaru responded.
"Subaru, you can always see him later and clear things up," Seiichirou suggested.
"Time is sooo unfair!!!"
"Poor you, heartbreaks are very painful," Karen acknowledged. "Sometimes love just doesn't go your way unless you do something about it."
"Love is sooo unfair!!!"
"If you want, I can always threaten him to love you back," Arashi insisted.
Subaru looked up and glared at her. "You are sooo unfair!!!!!!" he bent down again and went back to his whimpering.
Sorata leaned against the wall and rolled his eyes every time Subaru made an immature complaint. He had a dull look on his face, as if his partner's problem was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard. Finally he was forced to speak.
"Oh my god, would you just stop whining like a stupid little girl?!!!" he shouted at Subaru's face, who looked up with smothered red eyes. "I mean, come on!!! As if your childhood wasn't slightly more ridiculous enough with your girly outfits and tacky boots, but now you're complaining about your stupid love problems??!!!!"
The others stared at his sudden outburst with a definite shock. "I'm surprised that no one else sees that we're wasting time with this buffoon! If you think you've been dumped so many freakin' times then why don't you just get over it and go get a freakin' life!!!!!!!!"
A short pause, and suddenly Sorata was propelled out the front door onto the ground with a deafening crash. He lied there upside down on his head in pain as people surrounding him walked away quickly in fear. Sorata's wallet fell out of his pocket, and a dog just happened to stop by and nap it away.
"Geez…" Sorata pouted angrily at himself. "Am I the only one who thinks practically here?"
Inside, Arashi pulled down her sleeve after her grand assault on poor Sorata. She closed the door with a "humph" and stood against the wall with folded arms. "Some people can be so annoying."
"Tell me about it," Seiichirou agreed. "Sorata's been acting really odd lately, it's quite strange."
Subaru kept on whimpering, but quietly now. Yuzuhira put a gentle hand on his knee and smiled. "He didn't mean what he said. Sorata-chan is just weird that way. Don't listen to him."
Subaru stopped sobbing and wiped his tears. "No, no…he's right. I guess I did get carried away." He looked up somewhat optimistically. "Crying won't really help me get my Sei-kun back. I just have to forget about him and move on!"
Karen seemed touched. "That's the spirit! No man's gonna let you stay down." She waved her index finger with a slight attitude.
Subaru was well in tune now as he walked proudly to the window and looked outside. "That's right, Sei-chan, I'm not gonna deal with your lies any longer!"
(Background Music)
Boy your love's so good
I don't wanna let go
And although I know I should
I can't leave you alone
'Cause you're so disarming
I'm caught up in the midst of you
And I can not resist
And oh…
"And although I have loved you so deeply…always falling at your feet, begging helplessly for you to love me back…"
Boy I can do
The things you want me to
The way I used to do
Could you love me, baby
Hold me, feeling now
Go and break my heart
"I realize now that that's not gonna happen…ever again!"
Heartbreaker, you got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why, did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart
"And since it was you who cheated on me…"
Give me your love
"…Since it was you who did not show up for me…"
It's a shame to be so euphoric and weak
When you smile at me
And you tell me the things that you know
Understatement to relinquish my love to you
But I can not resist at all
"…Since it was you who broke my fragile heart…"
Boy I can do
The things you want me to
The way I used to do
Could you love me, baby
Hold me, feeling now
Go and break my heart
"…Since it was you who abandoned me for a punk like Kamui of Earth…"
Heartbreaker, you got the best of me
But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Oh why, did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart
"You can forget about me being the one apologizing to you!"
Give me your love
"Never!" Subaru replied to the end of the unknown song.
He turned to see the other Seals staring in awe at his bold words. There was a hint of applause, and Arashi, kind of disturbed at the bizarre appearance of the background music, looked around the room. "So…where's Kamui anyway?"
Meanwhile, on the 2nd floor of Subaru's home, Fuuma lied on the bed in Kamui's perfect form, vaguely aware of what was going on downstairs.
"Okay, so Seishirou said he would work on that demented videotape. Kotori would go back to our house and take Kamui with her," he repeated to himself. "She would be safe there and won't have to worry about dealing with the end of the world. Kamui, even though he's involved, won't be able to fight in Kotori's body. I probably would be able to fight with Kamui's powers except I'm forced to switch sides…"
Fuuma got up and gazed at Kamui's small appearance in the mirror. "I'm trying my best to keep my loved ones out of danger but soon enough our own fates would take over. I still have to play my part as the Dragon of Earth…which means I have to stop helping the Seals all the time. But I'm worried…" he touched his smooth creamy face. "Why am I not seeing my dark side these days? What in the world happened to him anyway?"
A couple of miles away…
Kotori walked gloomily down the sidewalk in Fuuma's body, ignoring some high school girls who stared at her in admiration. "Oh, I wish I knew where Subaru lived! Then I would be able to apologize to him properly!"
She stopped and pinched her chin in deep concentration. "Maybe I can go to Seishirou-san's house again and ask where Subaru-san lives. But if I bring up that subject, he would feel more depressed!"
One of the high school girls decided to come up to her, blushing madly as she looked for something to say. Kotori was too busy in thought. "I could go ask Kamui's friends…but I don't know where they are either!! This is so hard!"
"Um…excuse me?" the girl said shyly.
Kotori still didn't turn. "Maybe I can look up his number in the phonebook…"
"Hello?" the girl asked again.
"But what if his number is not in the phonebook?!" Kotori was beginning to get angry, shockingly.
"I don't know if you're listening, but I think you're really handsome and…" the girl carried on.
"Ahhhhh, this is so frustrating!!!!" she cried loudly.
Suddenly, Kotori's sweet expression on Fuuma's face changed drastically. Her eyes became ice cold, and her complexion turned abnormally dour and wicked. Her back was to the girl, so she was unable to see the awkward transformation taking place.
"…so if you want, maybe we can hang out sometimes!" the girl finished her elongated speech.
Kotori turned to glare at her with a face that held pure wickedness and hatred. Even the girl was forced to yelp.
"Why don't I just kill you instead?" Kotori said with a menacing voice as thin as ice.
The girl screamed in fear and ran off, having her friends go after her in confusion. Kotori smirked once more before she changed back to her own self, looking around awkwardly and being oblivious to the dreadful incident mere seconds ago.
"What…just happened to me…?" she said to herself with worry.
Back at Subaru's house, it did not take long for Fuuma to ponder over his question any longer. In an instant, with goosebumps trailing down his spine, he realized the whereabouts of his dark side…the real Kamui of Earth.
"He's still trapped in my body…with Kotori!!!"
Reviews make me happy. So keep me happy!
