She let out a long sigh and banged her head against the wall. Not
that it would've hurt her, anyway. In fact, her head went right through
it. And her body did too. And finally she fell face-down. Until
she remembered that she can fly. Instantly she floated.
"You should try to remember that you're no longer solid,"
an amused voice informed her.
She raised one perfectly trimmed eyebrow at him, "And whose
fault is that?"
He pouted, "I thought we've gone through this already!"
"Whatever," she grinned, waving one arm, "I just love
teasing you, Sei-chan."
Sakurazuka Seishirou's crystalline figure settled itself
right next to her, "What are you doing right now?"
"Paying attention to my idiot of a brother," Sumeragi
Hokuto's spirit fumed, "I can't believe that we're actually
related! What the hell is Subaru thinking anyway?"
"Um, that he just murdered his Special Someone by his
own hand, thanks to the Last Spell of his beloved twin sister
who was murdered by that same Special Somone?" Seishirou innocently
suggested and earned himself a hard kick on the shin, "And I
thought we're not solid! You're not supposed to be able to kick
me!"
Hokuto gave him a patient look, "We're both spirits,
Sei-chan. Of course I can kick you."
"Oh, right," the former-assassin-in-the-living-world
grinned unabashedly.
"Back on topic!" she jabbed a finger accusingly onto
his broad chest, "You weren't supposed to try to kill him! And
to think that I sacrificed my life for you two..."
Seishirou shrugged, "Hey, you never asked me what MY
Wish was, young lady. And it was too late to tell you. You were
dying in my arms when you told me about that Last Spell of yours,
remember?"
"Details, details," a wave of an arm again and Hokuto
looked back mournfully at her brother, "Now what are we supposed
to do? I'm dead..."
"You are? My, how silly of me not to notice that earlier,"
and that earned him a punch on his arm.
"... and YOU're dead too!" Hokuto wailed dramatically.
"I was hoping you wouldn't notice that little detail,"
Seishirou muttered, ignoring a smack on the back of his head.
She glared good-naturedly at him, "What are we going to
do, Sei-cha~~~~~~n?! What to DOOOOOOOO???!!!"
Thoughtfully, Seishirou rescued his auditory system by plugging
them with his index fingers. Hokuto bared her white teeth at
him, swinging her small fist again.
He gently grabbed her hand, "Now, now... Let's not use
violence, shall we? Peace everywhere!"
"And that comes from the most ruthless and sadistic
Sakurazukamori ever existed," Hokuto groaned, burying her face
in her hands.
Seishirou sniffed, "My pride is wounded. I was NOT
ruthless! I was efficient! And I wasn't sadistic either!"
"Yeah, you prefer to be the M part," she mumbled.
"Now, for that, I'd prefer the S one, actually,"
he replied calmly.
Hokuto looked up at the heavens, starting to wail
again, "WHY~~~~~~!!!!! Why do I have to be stuck with the Man
Who Murdered Me??? Injustice! WHY?!"
He looked at her funny, "Maybe because we both care
about Subaru-kun and want to take care of him?"
"Oh," she stopped her wailings, "That's a good point."
Seishirou surveyed the scene below him. Subaru-kun was staring
outside the window, still wearing the same bloody clothes from
the Rainbow Bridge.
He winced, "I wish Subaru-kun would change his clothes.
I'm grateful that he's deeply affected by my death, but why
does he have to wear THOSE?"
"And black and white!" Hokuto screamed in disbelief,
"Kami-sama, my brother really has no sense of fashion..."
"I died before I can inherit my elegant taste to him,"
the tall man sighed proudly, examining his immaculate black
suit and overcoat, "Perfect, even for a spirit."
"Narcissist," she muttered.
He grinned, "Now, what should we do to Subaru-kun?
We don't want him to join us here, do we?"
"Later, later," Hokuto shook her index finger
threateningly at him, "For now, he can't be dead yet..."
"And I hope that you wouldn't try to set him up with
his Kamui?" Seishirou raised an eyebrow at her, "Because I
would be very jealous. And a jealous Sakurazukamori, dead
as he may be, is not good."
Hokuto gulped and smiled innocently, "Of course not,
Sei-chan! How could you think like that! I'd always be your
number one supporter, remember?"
"I was only kidding, Hokuto-chan," he chuckled,
"Although I'm very relieved if you really think that."
Sumeragi Subaru was STILL staring blankly outside the window.
"Seishirou-san," he whispered.
"I love it when you say my name like that," a deep
voice said.
The onmyouji froze. The familiar voice chuckled and slowly
he turned around.
His eyes bulged, "Sei... Seishirou-san?"
The dead assassin grinned, "See? I love the way you
say my name..."
"You... you...," Subaru gaped at him.
"I'm dead, Subaru-kun," he smiled sympathetically
at him, "I died in your arms, remember?"
Subaru took a cautious step forward, "Then... what
are you doing here?"
"Oh," he shrugged, "Just want to let you know that
I've met Hokuto-chan and we had a very pleasant reunion
and all that. And we want you to be happy now. That's it."
"Huh?" the younger man blinked several times.
Seishirou looked at him tenderly, "Do what you have
to do to be happy. And you can't die yet, you hear? When
your time comes, I'd be waiting with Hokuto-chan. Don't
worry, I'm a very patient man. Even if you found someone
else, I'd still be waiting on the other side."
Tears stood in Subaru's mismatched eyes.
"Seishirou-san," he choked, "I'm sorry... I'm so
sorry..."
"Don't be," his smile widened, "I'm glad that I
could die in your arms. Just remember that my last words
to you are true, Subaru-kun. I love you."
Hokuto's maniacal laughter rang through the room and
faded away.
Seishirou laughed, "I guess your sister is glad
that I've said the things she wants you to hear. And I
want you to hear also. Farewell now, Subaru-kun. I'd wait
for you."
The spirit flew towards him. Subaru felt a light brush
of Seishirou's lips on his own. Then the room fell
silent once more. The onmyouji was alone once more.
And for the first time after what happened on the Rainbow
Bridge, a smile appeared on Subaru's face.
