OMAKE 12 Into The Trap

*takes place in the same timeline as chapter 8 just from a different point of view*

"Well Subaru, we have a free period now! Do you want to come with me while I work on everyone's dress robes?" Subaru turned red. "What on earth do you do during your free periods Subaru? I know Kamui's in the library doing homework with his and I usually sew on mine, I can only get Tomoyo's help on weekends."

"Subaru?" Subaru looked up and saw Yuui standing there.

"Can we talk alone?"

"I'll leave you boys to it; I need to get cracking on the dress robes!"

"What is it Yuui?" As always, Subaru had his polite smile on his face.

Yuui looked down at the younger boy. Green eyes brighter than the green that symbolized Slytherin house. A smile that was brighter than the sun. Yuui saw nothing but trust and respect on Subaru's face and Yuui wondered for a moment if this was the right thing to do.

"Join me Flourite, and I won't lay a wand on your twin."

Yuui hesitated before speaking. "What do you want me to do?"

"Bring me Subaru Sumeragi, that's all you have to do."

"Fine, you've got yourself a deal."

"Yuui?" Subaru looked up at him, eyes full of wonder.

"You need to come with me to give a student detention; they were dueling with Seishirou and using unforgivable curses at him." Green eyes narrowed.

"The Snake-Bats decided to attack Seishirou again, have they? Lead me there, now."

Yuui led the way, walking right past his twin and his twin's boyfriend. Subaru had to jog slightly to keep up with Yuui's long strides, but he managed to keep up. "Down there, I'll go get a teacher to assist you."

Subaru walked down the passage of the whipping willow with his wand out. "Lumos."

"Expelliarmus!" Subaru's wand went flying out of his hand.

"Fei Wang…where's Seishirou?!"

"He was never here, you were tricked, now shall we have some fun?" Without speaking he pointed his wand at Subaru's face and within moments a gash appeared on his right eye followed by a loud piercing scream.

"Oh how fun it is to toy with you, although you should be used to this right? You're dating the son of the darkest witch to be in Slytherin house since Lord Voldemort himself. I'm sure he has his way with you every time you're alone with him, right?"

"Seishirou has never hurt me and he never will I trust him, I...him."

Maniacal laughter as the wand was raised again to once again torture the younger boy.

Yuui pushed past Fay and Kurogane and started to head towards his common room to spend his free period. His mind was racing if he had done the right thing. He was pulled out of thoughts by colliding with another body. He felt a tug on his arm, steadying him.

"I know seventh year is a bitch, but I still have my game face on."

Yuui looked up and saw the one person he didn't want to see. "Sei-Seishirou."

A sly smirk. "You haven't seen Subaru have you?"

Yuui wouldn't meet Seishirou's amber gaze. "I haven't today yet, I have homework to do."

Seishirou looked puzzled for a moment. Subaru wasn't with his siblings and he wasn't waiting for Seishirou after class. Then there was the fact that Yuui wouldn't meet his gaze.

Something panged inside his mind, thinking of how trusting Subaru was and how naive the younger male was. All that had to be said to him was someone he cared about was in trouble to lure him into a trap.

He walked outside and overheard Fay and Kurogane talking about someone missing. Playing on a hunch, he told Fay where he had last seen Yuui. When Kurogane said no, it wasn't Yuui that was missing but Subaru, Seishirou's kind smile vanished. He conjured his Patronus to go scout out the area for him and when it returned, took off without a word.

As he ran, images of Christmas Eve and seeing his little sister's broken form on the floor, his father may have shielded Fuuma's eyes, but Seishirou saw everything. He didn't want to find Subaru like that, like a broken doll crumbled on the floor. He blinked his eyes to stop the tears from blurring his vision.

When he walked through the passage he saw Subaru bound and Fei Wang Reed undoing the clasps on the front of his robes. Rage filled him and he screamed, just like he had screamed five years ago. Only difference is when had screamed five years ago, it was a begging, pleading scream. This scream was demanding.

"Get your vile hands off of him and I won't kill you. If you don't listen, I can't make any promises."

"Seishirou…don't kill him, I'm not worth that…"

After properly punishing Fei Wang (at least for now), he picked up Subaru and started to carry him. The blood from Subaru's wounded right eye was staining Seishirou's robes, but the older boy didn't care. A soft groan alerted him that Subaru was awake. "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize Subaru."

"But I am sorry; I'm such a burden to everyone all the time." The boy fell silent in Seishirou's arms. He looked at Subaru's unconscious form.

"You're not; you're the best thing that's ever happened to me." Seishirou's words were never heard by Subaru as he walked up the steps of the castle.
