I'm sorry to take a time for post this chapter
because I was so busy with my study. Chapter 4 and 5 will post after this
as soon as possible.
About the title 'What?' Because I sucked
with title and don't know to name it. If you have another idea, I will be
thankful.
You can ask me to give more action for the
character you like and I will try to give more. However, if I forget some
characters, that's due to many characters I hold in my arms right now. I hope
you will forgive me.
Special thanks for Gib, my best friend who
helped me think and Dyoklako, my dear friend who was beta-reading and supported
me to write it.
Disclamier: All of characters are CLAMP property.
Except Karina is mine.

Part 3
By Azure R
Kamui walked down the hallway
to the dinning room. Sorata and Yuzuriha were accompanying him and chatting
with each other.
He thought about his travel
in the dreamscape yesterday. He just knew why aunt Saya died, why his mother
moved out of Tokyo and died in the flames as well. Furthermore he also met
Kakyou, the dreamgazer of the Angels too. He felt Kakyou was rather allied
with him.
Kamui frowned, he wondered
what was Kakyou wanted to say when Hinoto pulled him out of the dreamscape.
It seemed that he was going to tell him something very important.
The boy shook his head a
little and decided to let it go.
He then shifted his attention
to the scene he saw, the girl this morning. Why she had
Kamui's daydream stopped
when he felt the dampness on his backhand. He looked down and saw Inuki was
licking him. The spirit dog gave a look 'What happened? You looked uneasy.'
to the boy. Kamui patted on Inuki's head to assure him that he was okay while
he entered the dinning room with his comrades.
Subaru and Arashi were already
seated and talking quietly.
"Subaru-san, are you
trying to steal Nee-chan away from me? Alas! My beloved has been swept off
of her feet by a more dashing fellow!" Sorata overdramatically said,
looking like a little lost puppy dog that got shot in the heart.
"I'm not your beloved
now nor will be in the future." Arashi pinched the monk on his arm and
stamped her foot on his in reply to his dramatics.
"Yahh!!!" Sorata
cried. "Nee-chan, you broke my heart."
Karen sat across the table
and laughed at the scene. She had moved in with them yesterday while Seiichirou
who was sitting next to her had only smiled. He hadn't moved in because he
wanted to live with his family. Anyhow, he went to visit the other Seals everyday.
Nokoru was the last who entered
the room and the servants began to serve breakfast.
* * *
Satsuki tried to go inside
the Clamp Campus' computer systems, but she failed again. She was irritated
and decided to have a break to think of some other way, but Beast stopped
her before she jumped out and showed the picture of Karina Imonoyama at the
airport on it's screen.
Satsuki looked at it eagerly.
"Hmmvery interesting"
She said.
"I wonder what /Kamui/'s
reaction will be when he learns this. Anyway, I'll go look for Yuuto and tell
him first." Satsuki uttered and leap out of Beast. She turned to say
goodbye to her pet computer before left the room.
...Satsuki
* * *
They had finished the breakfast
and prepared to leave when a servant walked in and whispered something to
their master.
The Seals looked at the Chairman
with amusement when they saw him beaming.
"When did she come?
And why didn't you tell me immediately?" Nokoru inquired.
"She arrived in the
early morning and ordered us to keep her arrival a secret. She said that she
wanted to surprise you and cooked the entire breakfast by herself."
"No wonder it's taste
nicer." Nokoru pondered before he asked the servant again, "Where
is she now?"
"She is waiting in the
living room, young master."
Nokoru turned to the Seals
with a sunny smile and said, "Please, come with me. I would like to introduce
my younger sister to you."
Then they all left the dining
room together.
Nokoru was the first who
stepped inside the living room. The seals followed him a minute later and
saw a girl throwing herself into his arms and kissed his cheeks in greeting.
They couldn't see her face, which was blocked by Nokoru's back, effectively
hiding her from them.
"Welcome home, sis!"
"I missed you, Nokoru-niichan"
"I missed you too. Were
the problems cleared?"
"Why not? I'm your sister,
aren't I?" The girl giggled.
Then Nokoru let her out of
his arms and turned back to the Seals.
"This is my little sister,
Karina." He announced proudly.
The girl stepped beside Nokoru
and the others noticed that she has a very long black hair, violet eyes ANDKamui's
face.
"And she is your twin
sister, Kamui, the younger of you two."
Karina stepped toward Kamui
and hugged him. "I'm glad to finally meet you, Kamui-kun." She said
happily.
Kamui was stunned. The girl
before him was the one he'd seen in the morning, and she was his twin-and
she was hugging him now. The first word that slipped out of his mouth was,
"Mother never told me about you."
She loosened her arms around
his waist and stared at him.
"I know. It's a long
story. I think you should sit down first."
Everyone sat silently on
sofa while Karina told her story.
"Hinoto-hime requested
mum Tooru to separate us after we were born. So she gave me to be care for
by the Imonoyama clan. I never saw her again. My brothers and sisters know
that I'm their adopted sister, but they always love me, and take care of me,
even if they are busy almost all the time. When I was three years old, mumI
mean Nokoru's mother told me the truth that I'm her adopted daughter and I
had met aunt Tokiko on that day. She taught magic to me until she had transferred
to be a nurse in your friends' school when I was ten years old."
"What was the reason
to separated us? And why didn't you try to contact us before?" Kamui
asked, doubting.
"I didn't contact because
aunt Tokiko had forbade me. I didn't know her reasons until the day that you
chose your destiny. If I were raised with you or you know about me, you would
tell your friends and I would have the same fate as Kotori."
Kamui's face paled a little.
Then he said. "I'm glad that I have a sister."
Subaru gazed into her eyes
and realized that this one is hard to read.
* * *
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu hold
their hands as they were going to visit their friends in the other world.
They appeared in the garden and saw Lantis and Clef. The two were discussing
about the storehouse that was being built.
"Hi. We're here."
After Hikaru had abolished
the Pillar system, Cephiro was developing gradually.
"Where are the others?"
Umi asked.
Hikaru didn't pay attention
to the others, she was looking for Eagle of Autozam. The young man is still
in Cephiro recovering. Though he is better now and is expected to wake up
in a month's time. Clef is certain that when that day comes, Hikaru would
be very happy.
"I'll like to see Eagle
first." Hikaru announced and walked out of the garden.
Lantis was about to offer
Hikaru his company, but she already disappeared from his sight.
"Presea might be in
her factory. But the others I don't know." Clef explained.
"I've brought many pastries
for teatime." Umi said and lifted the box to show them.
"So, I'll see the others."
Fuu told.
"O.K. I'll make the
tea." Umi put the box on the table beside the planning-papers.
"I'll help you, Umi."
The elfish sorcerer offered and the trio went towards the castle, leaving
Lantis to guard the pastries alone.
After an hour, everyone was
gathered in the garden to have teatime together.
Ferio was standing next to
Fuu and helped her pour the tea in cups. Ascot helped Umi set the pastries
on the plates while Hikaru offered a plate to Lantis. Primera who was clinging
on Lantis clothes was frowning with disapproval, but the petite red-hair seemed
to oblivious. She stepped to the table and set the plate on it. Caldina smiled
to her
"How is your school
and your work with Karina?" She asked. She is now married to Lafarga
and have a daughter named Nala. She broke a cake into little pieces to feed
Nala who was sitting on her lap.
"Everything's all right.
Karina-chan returned yesterday. We talked with her on the line last night."
Hikaru answered.
They never kept secrets to
their friends in this world.
The others walked to the
table to join the tea party.
"How are things in Chizeta,
Autozam and Fahren?" Umi asked. It has been three weeks since their last
visit because of the busy work at Karina's office.
"Asuka is engaged to
Sang Yung. Autozam's pollution is better. The two princesses of Chizeta are
fine."
They talked about their friends
first, then turned to the developments in Cephiro until it was time for the
girls to go back to their own world.
"See you all later."
Fuu bade farewell before they disappeared.
* * *
On Monday morning, the teenage
Seals went to school together. Yuzuriha was the first to part their company
to go her class in Junior High School. Sorata and Arashi followed to their
own classes at the High School Building. Kamui followed Karina quietly after
he said hello to Kotori. He felt uncomfortable at the questioning gazed that
the students cast at them.
They stopped at a big door
that informed itself as being President of Senior High School's office. Karina
led him inside.
Kamui saw three girls on
their desks, working on several papers. The trio looked up from their desks.
"Good morning, Kaichou."
They greeted Karina and were perplexed to see a boy who looks alike her.
"Good morning. This
is Kamui Shirou. He is my twin older brother. ErrI'm Imonoyama adopted
daughter. I'm sorry to didn't tell you before." Karina explained her
friends.
The three girls exchanged looks between them and wondered why did the sibling
separated, but they didn't dare to ask their president before Kamui now.
"This is my staff. The
girl who with the pigtail is Hikaru-chan. Umi-chan has a long blue hair. They
are my secretaries. And Fuu-chan who wears glasses is my treasurer."
Kamui smiled politely to
the girls.
"Kaichou. Some students
asked us to send their gifts and flowers to welcome you back. And I wish you
would do something with it soon." Hikaru said and walked to the door
connecting to the special room that they used it to keep their things. She
opened the door that revealed a heap of gifts and many bouquets of flowers
of all kind. The petite red-hair closed the door quickly before its smell
choked everyone in the room.
Kamui stared unbelievable
at the connecting door. Then he turned to his twin who nudged him a little.
"I can guarantee that
you will have your own Fan Club soon." She winked at him, changing the
subject. "The class would begin in an hour. Kamui-kun, do you mind waiting
for me while I do my work?"
"Oh, I see you have
a lot of work to do. It would be better if you tell me where my classroom
is." Kamui said as he gazed at the very huge fifteen piles of paperwork.
"Anyhow, Nokoru-chan
had put you in the same room as mine. So we could go together" She explained
and walked to her desk.
Umi set some snack for Kamui
at the sofa while his twin began doing the paperwork that he couldn't believe
she could clear in a week. He enjoyed his snack until he heard Fuu's voice
reminding her president to go to class.
Karina rose up from her chair
and picked up her bag. She grabbed her brother's hand and they walked out
the room.
The minute they entered the
classroom, everyone looked at him in surprise and asked the pair many questions.
Fortunately, Karina stopped them by declaring that she is Nokoru's adopted
sister and Kamui here is her twin brother.
Kamui was very relieved when
the lunchtime came. Karina suggested he talk to a boy named Keiichi who was
very cheerful person. She asked Keiichi to take care of Kamui for her because
she had to clear her paperwork as soon as possible. Then she turned to say
goodbye to Kamui and quickly got out of the room.
Keiichi looked at his new
friend.
"I would guide you in
a tour around the Campus."
* * *
It's been eleven years since
Li Syaoran returned to Hong Kong after Sakura had passed Clow's test. He didn't
want to leave her but he is the heir of the clan and he has his duty to do
so.
He looked directly to Japan.
There was something unusual in that country. The earthquakes that had happened
lately and he sensing of the many people, who have very much power, gathered
in Tokyo. He knew Sakura is now the mistress of the Clow Cards. She has the
power to protect herself and also has the two guardians with her, but he is
still worried.
*Krrr*
He picked the phone up and
said "Hello"
""
"Hi, Tomoyo-chan. I'm
fine. How about you and Sakura?"
""
"O.K. I will go as soon
as possible."
He put the phone back on
its cradle and went to find his mother and sisters to tell them that he was
going to Japan.
* * *
Yue was sitting on a branch
of a big tree in a park.
Tonight was a full moon.
So he decided to turn to his real form.
He was aware of something
wrong in Japan. Everything looked to be in a mess, especially in Tokyo, where
the earthquake occurred so frequently. He was anxious about Sakura and prayed
that Kerberus would do his duty protecting the Clow Card Mistress.
As Sakura's Guardian, he
couldn't be far away from her, but a year ago Yukito had an order from his
boss to transfer to Okinawa. Yue didn't want to be here. However, Sakura was
able to persuade him that she could take care herself and this was the best
way to take Yukito to the better position in the company. So he had gone with
Touya. And tomorrow Yukito would transferred back to Tokyo.
* * *
After the delicious dinner,
everyone, except Karen who was at work, walked into the living room to watch
TV, do homework, talk, etc. Karina chatted with Kamui who was sitting across
her awhile before doing her work with a notebook computer.
Nokoru was sitting next to
her and poked his head to look at the screen. He rested his chin on the top
of her head and whispered suggestions.
*Krr* Karina
picked her cellular phone.
"Hello."
""
"Yes. I'm fine."
She beamed.
""
"Do you want to talk
to him?"
""
"O.K. I will tell him.
Bye."
Karina ended the connection
and turned to face Nokoru. She gave him a smile that he never wanted to see
because it means that he was going to have a great trouble.
"Nokoru-chan, mum called
me to tell you that you must to meet Mr. Amamiya's grand daughter who is supposed
to be your fiancee, the day after tomorrow at" Karina told him
the name of VIP hotel in Tokyo.
Nokoru didn't know about
this pairing before. He had been kidnapped before and he isn't athletic enough
to take care himself. So he didn't want to have any girl near him as she might
be in danger because of him.
The others looked at the
pair with curiosity.
Nokoru felt blood drained
off his face while his sister giggles.
* * *
Sorata and Arashi were back
from school. They found Yuzuriha was eating her pocky in the living room.
Inuki lies beside his mistress. He barked hello to them as a greeting.
"Yuzu-chan, where is
Kamui?" Sorata questioned.
"He called before you
walked in about 10 minutes ago, said that his friend named Keiichi invited
him to have dinner at his house." Yuzuriha answered.
"Aha, the boy has a
new friend!" The monk said loudly "Do you think we should have a
party for that?" He asked Arashi who was standing patiently beside him.
"Nonsense." She
said coldly and left the room.
"Wait for me Nee-chan."
Sorata cried and followed her closely as he wondered why did he fall in love
with a girl who seemed to ignore him all the time.
* * *
After dinner at Keiichi's
house, Keiichi was accompanying his friend to the underground station. While
they walked, Kamui saw an explosion and was about to go to that place. But
Keiichi was here with him.
"Go home! Don't worry
about me! GO!" He shouted to Keiichi who was stunned with confused as
he began to run.
"Waited, Shirou-kun!
Don't go! It's dangerous! Come back!" Keiichi tried to stop him.
Kamui ignored his friend
and ran faster. He saw the one who looked familiar, Fuuma.
"Hello, Kamui. Nice
to see you again." Fuuma greeted him and smiled coldly.
* * *
Subaru was near Ikebukuro.
He ran quickly and saw that Kamui was in danger. He took his ofudas out of
his pocket and waved them to stop Fuuma. He realized that Fuuma wasn't alone.
A boy who has flower petals on his forehead was accompanying him. The Sumeragi
raised his star-shape kekkai over the place before fighting with Nataku. But
Nataku hadn't enough power to match the Sumeragi. So Fuuma tied Kamui with
the pipes on the wall and fought with Subaru instead.
Kamui tried to get out. He
saw his Seal was injured very badly and collapsed to the ground.
Fuuma walked toward Subaru
like a lion was about to attack its victim.
The head of the seals panicked
more when he saw Fuuma's hand descended on Subaru's right eye. He screamed,
releasing his power to destroy the ties.
Then a splash of water attacked
Fuuma, stopped his hand in the air before it could harm Subaru. He leaped
out in time before another attack comes. He saw a woman holding a staff in
her hand. She stood distantly behind them, beside her was Saiki.
Sakura watched the dark Kamui
carefully.
She had just moved in a new
mansion that her grandpa had arranged two days ago. Yesterday, she had received
a call from Touya that he and Yukito would have to go back to Tokyo today.
So she was going to pick them up at the airport with Saiki and her father,
but she sensed a Kekkai was raised at Ikebukuro and hurried to go there with
Saiki. Leaving Fujitaka to pick up Touya and Yukito alone. However, she couldn't
go through the Kekkai, therefore she waited at the edge until the kekkai began
to break.
Kamui ignored his injuries.
He ran to Subaru who was unconscious and gathered him in his arms.
"The kekkai is dissolving
and it means that Seal is close to dead. You should bring him to the hospital
before it's too late. And congratulations to you about sister." Fuuma
said and prepared to go with his angel.
"Fuuma, wait."
Kamui stopped his former friend who is now the dark Kamui.
"We'll meet again soon
enough. Because I'll be the one who kills you." Fuuma said coldly and
left the place with Nataku.
"Subaru, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry." Kamui apologized to Subaru again and again. His tears
rolling down his cheek to the Sumeragi's face.
Saiki dialed his cellular
phone to the nearest hospital and told them to get here immediately.
"Kamui-kun calm down.
The ambulance is coming." Sakura sat beside the boy and tried to stop
Subaru's bleeding.
"Subaru, I'm sorry"
* * *
The same time in the office
of the president of Senior High School at CLAMP Campus, Karina had cleared
five piles of paperwork and started to do the sixth. She is very clever and
has ability to do work fast like Nokoru, even if she is not his sister by
blood.
Umi approached her to report
about the Musical Festival that Senior High School Department will manage
the following week at the east garden.
"Great. You planned
it very well." The president praised when Umi finished presenting the
report, and continued. "However, I want more flowers. Umi, contact the
Gardening Club, ask them to plant several more flowers around that area."
"O.K."
Suddenly, Karina heard Kamui
screaming Subaru's name in her mind and knew that her brother was in a big
trouble. She felt the hurt at her arms and gazed down, blood was soaking her
uniform in red.
"Kaichou!?" Umi
cried with startled.
"Umi take the paper
out before it gets dirty!" Karina ordered and slid her chair away from
the desk quickly.
Hikaru and Fuu heard that
cries and ran to see what happened. They gaped at the scene before them. Fuu
was the first to recover from shock and called to emergency section.
"Please, send medical
staff to the room of the President of Senior High School now!"
The medical staff arrived
at the office in ten minutes later to treat Karina's injured arms.
"Thank you. You may
go." Karina told the staff and watched as they got out the room. Then
she turned to her friends who stood next to sofa where she was sitting.
"I think you all wanted
to know why I got hurt, right?"
The three girls nodded simultaneously.
Karina was sitting on her chair, ordered about the changes for the Musical
Festival when she got hurt from something they didn't see. It's impossible.
This world is not fantasy like Cephiro.
"I will tell you later
after I changed into the clean clothes." Karina told and went to the
special room.
She returned in fifteen minutes
later and told her staff about the end of the world that is coming soon.
"We believed you, Kaichou.
How can we help you?" Fuu asked with concerned voice. They have to look
the tragedy before their eyes again.
"I don't know, but thank
you." Karina smiled gratefully to her friends.
*Knockknock*
Hikaru walked to the door
to see who it is.
"Kaichou, Nokoru-san
and Suoh-san are here."
"Karina-chan, time to
go home!" The Chairman said cheerfully. His sunny smiled vanished immediately
when he saw blood on the floor.
"Karina-chan, were you
hurt?" He supposed from her change of clothes. Why did she change, if
her outfit wasn't dirty.
"It's alright, Nokoru-chan.
Don't worry about it."
Nokoru ignored her words.
"Let me see." He
demanded and rolled off her long sleeve jacket that covered the bandaged.
Karina noticed that Nokoru's
hand shook a little. She let a smile to assure him before say goodbye to her
staff.
"Let's go home. I'm
starving." Karina whined to her brother as tucked her hand to his arm,
leading him out off the office.
Suoh smiled at the three
girls before following the Imonoyamas out.
* * *
The Magic Knight agreed to
have dinner at a restaurant within the Clamp Campus and discussed about what
they could do.
"You think we should
tell Karina-chan about the Cephiro?" Hikaru asked.
"It couldn't help anything.
We can't bring them to the other world, and besides we don't have any magic
in our world. The only thing we can do is help her every way we can."
Fuu said.
"Yeah." Umi agreed.
"I doubt that's what Mokona wants."
"I don't know. Maybe,
this is a test for humans in our world." Fuu analyzed. "Maybe"
