Epilogue
"That's the last of it," said Kyou as he helped Kamui lift the last box into his new room. It had been almost a month and half since they met, and Yuki offered Kamui to stay with him and the other two Soumas ... that meant moving into Torhu's room. Both Kyou and Yuki cleared it out the day before, moving her old stuff into the attic.
"Are you sure this is okay?" Kamui asked his father who stood in the door way and handed his cousin a towel to wipe the sweat off his face. The redhead took it, mumbled a 'thank you' under his breath and went to go take a shower. "I mean you've kept her room for years."
"I left it this way because I always believed she would come back," Yuki said sadly as he shrugged his hands into his pockets. "But I have to accept the fact she isn't ..."
"Yuki-san," Kamui whispered then tried to correct himself. "O ... Otou ... sa ..."
The dark haired man smiled and shook his head, "You aren't ready to call me that yet. Someday, but not now, I don't expect you to."
The teenager sighed then walked over to his desk and arranged his text books. Life had to continue if he wanted a future for himself, which meant he needed an education ... Nokoru was glad Kamui would be going back to school even if it was in Kyoto. Yuki promised he would tutor him to catch up with all his school work.
He was happy to know that his new family gladly accepted him and were eager to become part of his life. Hatori came by to make sure he was well, and taking his medication responsibly. Not that the doctor had to worry since all three men the boy lived with watched him like hawk whenever he took them. Time to time he had his nightmares but he found them to be less frequent than before.
His friends in Tokyo kept in touch. Subaru, Arashi and Nokoru called every week while Yuzuriha visited him every other weekend and was overjoyed to know his family could see Inuki since people with magical abilities could see the spirit dog. Momiji and Hatsuharu often joked about Yuzuriha being his girlfriend and thought it would be funny to call Kamui by his hated nickname: 'Kami-chans'.
Kamui met his other relatives like the shy young woman, Kisa, and the ever crossed little punk, Hiro. Then the teen almost died of embarrassment when he met Ritsu and his family who kept clinging onto him shouting 'Gomen nasai!' for every little thing they did ... Kamui didn't think overheating a chicken for a few seconds was worth committing seppuku over. He had about met everyone in his family accept for the head, Akito, whom Yuki wanted nothing to do with ... and his Uncle Ayame ... who Yuki also wanted nothing to do with.
One afternoon he was doing his homework on the table when door barged open. Kyou came in running down the hallway shouting 'Get away from me!' and not far behind was Kagura looking quite scary screaming 'Kyouuuu darling!' The familiar scene made the teenager roll his eyes.
"Kamui-kun."
The young man looked up to see his father standing in front of him looking a bit nervous. "I hope I'm not bothering you from your studies while I introduce you to the most annoying man on the planet."
"You flatter me, Yuki!" as a tall slender man appeared suddenly in front of Kamui ... and sort of on top of him.
"This is my older brother, Ayame," Yuki gestured to the man with long white hair and gold eyes ... and was he wearing a dress?
"Please call me 'Aya-ojichan!', Kami-chans!" his Uncle said cheerfully, clasping his hands. He ruffled Kamui's hair as if the boy were six years old.
"Please don't call me 'Kami-chans'," the teenager corrected. "Ayame-ojisan."
"Righto Kami-chans!"
Both Kamui and Yuki twitched.
"You're so adorable!" Ayame practically squashed him. "Kami-chans would look really cute in my special clothes!"
Kamui blinked, "Special clothes?"
"No way!" Yuki snapped. "I'm not going to let you traumatize Kamui-kun like that!"
"Little brother, you're no fun!" Ayame pouted and got off the nervous boy who decided he didn't want to see his Uncle's 'special clothes'. Shigurei came home along with Hatori and the older three men went out to dinner ... as for Kyou and Kagura ...
"Woman, why won't you leave me alone?!"
"Because you keep running! Now come here and hug me!"
"No! Ow ... ow ...AHHHHH! My arm doesn't bend that way!"
Kamui sweat dropped while Yuki went on drinking his tea. "I assume they'll be announcing they're engagement soon," said violet-eyed mas as he poured some more tea for himself and for Kamui.
"Those two?" the young man blinked. "But ..."
"That's just how they act," explained his father. "They love each other deep down."
"Ahhhhhhh!" came Kyou's pathetic scream.
"Really ... deep down."
"I see."
Yuki smiled as he pulled a long yellow fabric from his pocket and handed it to his son. The teenager starred at it when it was placed into his hand and then back up to the man who offered it. Slowly his fingers curled around the yellow cloth which he had seen before in his mother's hair when she was younger.
"Okaasan's ribbon?"
"Hai," Yuki pulled out it's twin and curled it around his fingers. "I gave them to her on a White Day vacation to the hot springs. It was the first time I truly laughed ... truly felt happy."
"Are you sure you want to give this to me?" he asked. "If they're that special to you?"
Yuki closed his eyes and brought the ribbon to his lips, "I have my memories ... and it feels right to give you the other ... that way we'll always be tied together."
Kamui wrapped the ribbon around his own fingers and smiled.
'Keep your heart open, Kamui...'
'Especially for the day you will meet your father ...'
'I'll always be in your heart if you need me ...'
'.... Always ...'
* owari *
I can't believe I finished it in one day! Yikes ... I have a pile of homework to do ^_^;;;; So please review and tell me what you think!
Upcoming Sequel!
A year later, Kamui's life is starting to look up until he gets a call from Subaru's grandmother. Is the world fated to end again? Will Kamui have to sacrifice what he has now in order to protect the people he loves? And what does Akito have to do with the Destiny Apocalypse?
Only time will tell ...
