This is (and will probably be the only one) the longest chapter so far. Enjoy!

"Do you think this kekkai Hinoto-hime told us will really be attacked", Shirou asks as he leans against a building on top a rooftop.

"I'm not sure", Sumeragi says, standing behind Shirou with his eyes shut and back against a wall, "We're just gonna have to wait and find out."

Shirou sighs as he continues to watch the busy night of Tokyo life rushing by on the streets, "It's too quiet."

"They usually say before a storm, there is a calming silence. So silent it's too good to be true."

Shirou turns his head to look at his older companion in shock, "Do you think there will be a big storm coming?"

"Well I wouldn't expect the Dragons of Earth to just appear and say they don't want to fight any more and we all forget this whole thing."

"But we can hope. Can't we?"

Now it was Sumeragi's turn to look at Shirou even though no emotion is shown on his face, "I honestly wouldn't get my hopes up."

Shirou looks down and draws his knees to his torso as he whispers silently, "I would." Sumeragi sighs as suddenly a group of men in business suits appear and Shirou jumps up next to Sumeragi's side, "Those are the same men that attacked me when I first came back to Tokyo."

Sumeragi pulls out his ofuda as he keeps it near his face, "Shall we take care of them?"

Shirou brings his hands to the side as electricity crackles at his fingertips, "I think we shall." Both Dragons begin their attack as one by one the men turn back into ofuda. Three men are attacking Shirou as two other ones were getting away.

"Kamui, I'm going after the last two", Sumeragi yells as Kamui turns another zombie into an ofuda.

"Alright. I'll be right there", Shirou says fighting off the other two.

Sumeragi continued to chase the two zombies as he threw his ofuda. One of them turned back into a card as the Sumeragi finally got the last one on a supporting beam of a bridge. He caught the card as he looked it over. He put it in his pocket to examine it later as he looked around to see where he was.

"Rainbow Bridge." His eyes widened in fear and shock as he remembered what the vampire Kamui had said.

Subaru would lose the last thing he holds dear to in this world.

The Sumeragi drops down to the concrete and lights a cigarette. He brings it to his lips as he inhales and then exhales and he brings his hand away.

A hand covered in blood comes over his own.

That thing he holds dear to…

The Sumeragi's hand is brought up to another man's mouth as the person takes a drag.

is Seishirou.

"The ashes will fall on your hand."

"You haven't changed a bit, Subaru-kun."


"Kamui, look at what I found."

Kamui grabs his older brother around the waist and pulls him back, "Don't touch that, Subaru. The things radiate idiot."

"Oh c'mon, Kamui", Subaru says slipping out of his brother's arms and picking up the two objects, "These don't even belong to the hunters."

"Which makes them even more revolting", Kamui says crossing his arms. Subaru places the sunglasses over his eyes and smiles at his brother while extending the yellow rocker glasses toward his brother.

Kamui glares at the glasses hoping his yellow eyed glare will make the glasses melt and disappear. "Please put them on. I want to see what they look like on you."

Kamui glares harder at the glasses, "No."

"Please", Subaru says as he tries using his puppy dog eyes.

Kamui looks up to Subaru with a dull face. A smirk comes across his face as he says, "You know. I think I like those shades on you."

Subaru pouts as Kamui takes the rocker glasses and places them on his face with the same smirk on his features. "It's amazing how much you look like the treasure hunter. I see how Fuma is this dimension's Kamui's twin star."

"I can say the same thing about you looking like the vampire hunter, Subaru." A smirk comes across both vampires' faces as they hear Kamui's voice scream out, "Subaru!"

Both twins look up to the building tops to see Shirou jumping towards a green star shaped barrier field. "That's the same kekkai that was around the building where you lost your eye", Kamui says looking to Subaru.

The shades covered Subaru's eyes so Kamui couldn't see, but he knew him enough to know how distress he is right now. "Come on! We have to get there now!" Subaru exclaims, dragging his brother with him. The two take off right behind Shirou as they rush to the bridge.


: Thank you again, Seishirou.: The Tree says as Seishirou finishes performing a spell.

"Don't thank me yet, Sakura-chan. I still have to make sure neither omnyouji dies", Seishirou says as he puts his new stack of ofuda away.

The Tree stiffens as it tells Seishirou. :It's time.:

Seishirou turns around to see a star shaped kekkai go up. Seishirou's eyes widen, "That's Subaru-kun's."

:Good luck.: Seishirou nods his head and takes off toward the bridge. Luckily he didn't have to go that far to where the kekkai was.

He entered through and saw Sumeragi trapped in sakura vines. His duplicate was standing on debris from the bridge. Inside the kekkai, the whole bridge was literally falling apart.

The Sumeragi took out one of his own ofuda as he cut his skin open and breaks the illusion. Words are exchanged between Sumeragi and Sakurazuka as Seishirou stays in place in bewilderment.

"Isn't your wish to kill me?"

"No", the Sumeragi says staring at Sakurazuka, "You're wrong."

The two begin at it again as both set up shields around themselves as they send ofuda at each other.

Subaru would lose…

The smoke rises up, fogging Seishirou's view of the two. He can feel a strong power force around the two and he takes out one of his own ofuda.

the last thing…

Kamui can feel the power radiating past the kekkai and gets there before his brother or his duplicate.

he holds dear to…

Sumeragi and Sakurazuka are up in the air, starring into each other eyes as the Sakurazukamori draws his arm back. "Kamui! Seishirou!"

in this world.

Electricity shoots up the star kekkai as it begins to fade.

The thing…

Shirou and Subaru stand there in shock and fear.

he holds dear to…

The smoke clears to show what's been done.

is…

"Seishirou", both Subaru whisper in heart-broken disbelief. The small kekkai Seishirou had made to try to protect both Seishirous had been broken in the end and turned back to ofuda and drifted down to the ground. Both Kamuis' eyes widen as Sumeragi's arm was placed in Seishirou's heart and Kamui's claws were in Sakurazuka's heart.

Kamui quickly retracts his claws as Sakurazuka falls forward into the vampire's arms. Sumeragi slowly brings out his arm with Seishirou's help as tears are freely running down his cheeks.

"Seishirou!" Subaru yells as he runs over to the vampire hunter and holds him in a tight embrace, "Seishirou, no. Please don't leave me. Please don't leave me."

Sumeragi stares in shock until he finally turns his attention to Sakurazuka who had reached his hand out to tug on the omnyouji's sleeve. The Sumeragi takes the Sakurazuka into his arms and Kamui backs away, still wide eyed and scared.

"Subaru-kun", Sakurazuka grunts, "This…isn't what's…supposed to happen."

Sumeragi's eyes narrow as tears continue to fall, "And what exactly was supposed to happen, Seishirou-san?"

Sakurazuka looked up to Sumeragi with a smile on his face, "I wanted…you to…to kill me."

The Sumeragi's eyes widen as he stares down at his twin star, "Wh-why?"

"Because…I wanted…you...to…succeed me. Now that I think about it. You…really are…too kind to kill."

"I never wanted to kill you, Seishirou-san. I-I wanted you…to…kill me. I don't care if I was just another victim of the sakura, but…as long as you-"

Sakurazuka continues to smile up at the Sumeragi as he continues crying. "You-your sister."

"Hokuto", Sumeragi breaths out.

Sakurazuka's smile widens, "Your sister…had cast a spell…before she died. That…if I were to try to kill you…the same way I killed her, that…it would came back to me. Right now, if…you had killed me, we…we would've been an exact reflection… of the past." Sakurazuka pulls Sumeragi close so he could whisper in his ear, "Subaru-kun. I…you."

"I love you, Subaru-kun."

Both omnyoujis' eyes look in shock at the vampire and vampire hunter. Seishirou was cupping Subaru's face as the vampire had his hands over the hunters.

"Please don't leave me. I love you too, Seishirou-san."

Seishirou smiles up at Subaru as he rubs the vampire's back comfortingly while trying to hush him, "Don't worry, Subaru-kun. I wouldn't dream of it."

Subaru continued crying as he clutched Seishirou's hand tighter, "But-but-but, my duplicate stabbed you in the heart. How-how?" Seishirou brushed Subaru's cheek as he used his hand to bring a feather out of his torso. Subaru's eyes widen as he covers his mouth with his hand, "How did you get that?"

Seishirou smiled up at Subaru, "That sakura tree in the middle of Ueno Park is very kind when it comes to me." Subaru half laughed, half cried.

Sakurazuka glared at his duplicate, thinking of ways to make sure they both go down. If he couldn't be with his Subaru-kun, then neither could his duplicate.

Subaru used his hand to bring a feather out as well, "When Kamui tried making us leave, we ended up landing in a pond in a city called Kyoto. We meet the twelfth head of the Sumeragi clan and she gave us this feather as well to protect her grandson. I was going to give it to my duplicate, but I was too late."

Seishirou looks at him skeptically as he reaches up to the vampire, "Too late? Or too distracted?" Seishirou pulls off the sunglasses that were hanging on the vampire's shirt as a blush comes to his cheeks.

"That reminds me", Subaru says as he puts Seishirou's feather back in the hunter's torso and walks to Sakurazuka. The assassin glares at the young vampire and Sumeragi does the same. (AN: Couldn't resist- This would be the "We were having a moment" glare XD.) Subaru looks to the both of them with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry for not coming sooner. Put this feather inside of Seishirou and he should manage for a while. It doesn't look like much, but it's a very powerful object."

Sumeragi stares at the vampire then slowly takes the feather, "So my grandmother's had this for a very long time, huh?"

"Ever since the clan began", Subaru says.

Sumeragi sighs and clutches the feather with his eyes shut. "Subaru-kun", Sakurazuka says while cupping Sumeragi's cheek. The Sumeragi looks down at the assassin whose blood was being lost quickly.

"I'm not letting you die, Seishirou-san. And you can forget me going to kill you because it's not going to happen. I love you too much to let you go. I'm not going to let death take you away from me. You're mine."

Sakurazuka looks up to Sumeragi with shock, but quickly replaces it with a smirk, "Subaru-kun, I never knew you felt that way about me." Sumeragi glares down at Sakurazuka as he scoffs while placing the feather inside the dark assassin's chest. Sakurazuka sighs as he drops his smirk, "You know. I really can't feel, Subaru-kun, but I really want to love you. I may not show you affections that normal lovers do, but for me, having you as my most prized possession will be the closest emotion I will ever feel to love. I know it's not much, but still-"

Tears sprang to the Sumeragi's eyes as he lunged himself at the older man, "Seishirou-san, I just want to know I'm still remembered by you and needed by you." Sakurazuka flinches from the wound in his chest as Sumeragi pulls away quickly "I'm sorry."

"No need. It's fine. Just needs a little getting used to", Sakurazuka says as Sumeragi slowly helps him up. Sumeragi shows a small smile as Subaru turns his attention to his brother.

Seishirou had gotten himself up as he placed his hand on Subaru's shoulder, "Maybe you should go talk to him. I'll be fine. The feather will keep me alive for a while."

Subaru looks at Seishirou with worry, then sighs and smiles, "Thank you." Subaru walks toward Kamui who was now cowering near the side of the bridge. "Kamui", Subaru says while kneeling in front of his brother and placing a hand on his younger brother's knee.

Kamui jerks away and curls himself more, "Subaru. Subaru, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I-I don't know what came over me. Please forgive me, Subaru. I'm so sorry. I-I killed him. I killed the person I promised you I'd protect. I'm so sorry. Oh, Subaru, I'm so sorry."

"Kamui. Kamui", Subaru says, trying to calm his brother down who continued to mumble apologies and wouldn't seem to listen.

"I'm so sorry-"

"Kamui!" Kamui looks up to Subaru with shock, worry , and mostly fear. Subaru looks back to him with care, loving, understanding eyes, "Kamui, neither Seishirou is dead. The feathers are keeping them alive for now. Please calm down."

"But-but I-"

"You were protecting my duplicate, Kamui. You were protecting me. I understand. It's a natural instinct you created for yourself. No one's going to punish you", Subaru says bringing his brother into a hug, "Please don't feel like this is all your fault because it's not. And if I hear one more word of it being your fault, then I really will be angry."

Kamui hugs Subaru back as tears fall down his cheeks, "Thank you, Brother."

Subaru smiles as they pull out of the hug, "I should be thanking you. For being such a good little brother." Kamui blushes as Subaru laughs and brushes the tears away. An earthquake begins as the bridge shakes.

"Guys, the bridge is collapsing!" Shirou yells as he starts to go help Sumeragi bring Sakurazuka off the bridge. Kamui and Subaru look at each other worried as they rush to Seishirou's side and get him off the bridge. They get off at the last second as the last of Rainbow Bridge falls.

"That was a close one! You guys okay", Sorata asks as he jumps next to the Kamuis, Seishirous, and Subarus.

"The four of us are fine, but both Seishirous need medical attention", Sumeragi says as he continues to hold up Sakurazuka with Shirou's help.

"Wait. Is that the Sakurazukamori", Sorata asks starting to get defensive.

"Yes. I am, but I won't feed you to my sakura tree." Sorata sighs in relief. "Today." The monk tenses up again as Sakurazuka chuckles.

"Don't worry, Sorata-san. Seishirou-san won't hurt you. He's too injured", Sumeragi says showing a smile to the gaping monk, "We need to get them to the hospital. Will you escort us?"
