Kamui-rella, or, Candy-coated Fluff chapter 3
Standard disclaimer: none of the charaacters belong to me; CLAMP owns 'em all...*sob*anyway, hope you like this...I thought the idea would be funny but it might not be amusing unless you have decent knowledge of the X manga.
"Well then, Kamui-rella, you'd better finish that tub of washing and the dishes before we get home," Kanoe said, as she descended the stairs in a leather sheath cut in a highly flattering manner. "And don't forget dear Beastie upstairs," Satsuki added, in a tan trench-coat style dress, wearing contacts for once. "Use the No.7 High Shine polish."
Kamui nodded without enthusiasm. It was bad enough having to do the mountainous pile of laundry and the similarly sized heap of dishes, but now an extra polishing of the supercomputer...and with his stepfamily hurrying off to a once-in-a-lifetime ball...well, thrice in a lifetime, but still. More than enough for self-pity. He sighed and resumed the tiny, black-lace merry widow that he had been washing.
A sudden shadow caused him to look up. Fuuma was leering at him, clad in a blood-colored velvet greatcoat and with his hair properly groomed for once. In his right hand was the coldly gleaming Shinken. "Kamui-rella," he hissed in that oh-so-sadmasochistic voice of his, "kindly give Shinken-san a go, will you?" Kamui shuddered but nodded, fingering the pinkish scars on the backs of his hands.
And they left, dragging Yuuto behind them to the carriage. Yuzuriha and Kusanagi had gone off to buy more Pocky from a wholesaler, and so Kamui was all alone with his tears and a slab of yellow soap for the washing. After about half an hour or so, he put down the soap and wiped his chilled hands on his knees. Pacing to the window, he wondered if he should just walk out into the cold and forget about this horrid life. The snow was falling in smooth drifts, and it could be peaceful to lie under the great gray-white sky, sleeping forever..he put his forehead to the window and caught sight of a gray something in the whiteness. A stone? He blinked at it for a few seconds and then went to find a blanket to wrap around himself, opened the door, and went out into the world of white silence.
He almost stumbled over the gray thing before he saw it, small in the snow. Kneeling, he pushed aside the flakes which stung his hand and read Kotori's name. "Mother.."Kamui cried, pushing his knuckles on the stone so roughly that they bled. He proceeded to bawl out his troubles to the tombstone, ending with a loud sob. He wept for a while.
Kamui lifted his head when he heard a girlish giggle. "Who's there?"
It was a silver-haired girl in volumnious white robes. "Hey Kamui."
"How'd you know my name?!" Kamui stood, his face red with tears and cold. "Who are you?"
"I'm Hinoto," the strange girl said. "I'm your seer Godmother."
