Chapter 3: /Kamui/ and the Strange Dream
/Kamui/ walked through the darkened dreamscape on his way to the beach. It was always a rather boring walk because Kakyou hadn't made any scenery until you were practically right on top of him. /Kamui/ figured this minor annoyance was the price he had to pay for Kakyou's help and it was certainly something he was willing to put up with, since Kakyou had proven to be among his more useful Angels. As usual, /Kamui/ blinked as he found himself standing on a beach next to Kakyou Kuzuki. "Ohayo Kakyou!" The dreamgazer didn't even turn to look to see who had greeted him. "I guess he was expecting me," thought /Kamui/.
"I saw something new last night," said the flat voice of the dreamgazer.
This interested /Kamui/ a good deal. Turning on all his charm, /Kamui/ smiled down at the dreamgazer. "Pray tell, what was this dream? Did it involve anything of importance?"
"I'm not sure," sighed the dreamgazer.
This surprised /Kamui/, and there wasn't much that surprised /Kamui/. Unlike his hapless twin star, /Kamui/ seemed to be the half which had received all the poise. /Kamui/ tried to hide the uncertainty in his face as he looked at the dreamgazer more carefully. "What did you see?"
"It was Tokyo Tower..." began Kakyou as if he was still in the dream.
This immediately caught /Kamui/'s attention. Anything involving Tokyo Tower was important. The air around them started to shimmer as /Kamui/ saw the vision that had confused the dreamgazer. It was Tokyo Tower, but he didn't see himself or the other Kamui immediately. For some reason, /Kamui/ was standing on the ground looking up at the tower. As the view came into focus, he noticed two figures that were about the same height standing on the top of the building beneath the tower. On closer inspection, there was also another humanoid figure and a large feline form a short distance away from the two figures. The figures /Kamui/ had first noticed were the shortest. One was wearing a strange hat and flowing robes, and held a long staff; the other was holding a huge sword which /Kamui/ surmised was the Shinken. The one with the sword was clearly the other Kamui, but he couldn't make out the identity of the figure with the staff. The other humanoid figure was taller and appeared to be female. She had butterfly wings coming out of her back, as did the feline form. This was definitely a disconcerting vision. Try as they might, neither dreamgazer nor /Kamui/ could get a closer view of the figures. The image faded from view and Kakyou and /Kamui/ returned to the beach.
"This warrants looking into," declared /Kamui/, as a small frown appeared on his face. /Kamui/ did not like surprises.
********************************
Upon returning from the dreamscape, /Kamui/ immediately started looking for Satsuki. Perhaps Beast would be able to find some information on the figures Kakyou had seen. It was never hard to find Satsuki Yatouji she spent most of her time with her computer, Beast. /Kamui/ called up to her but there was no response. While his Angels weren't always useful, they generally didn't wander far, so /Kamui/ knew that meant Satsuki was elsewhere in the building.
He heard short bursts of giggling coming from behind a partially closed door. He opened the door to find Yuuto Kigai and Satsuki sitting down to tea together. Yuuto had just made some sort of witty comment and Satsuki was giggling in response. Well, at least he could get both of these Angels working on the problem at the same time.
"Ohayogozaimasu Yuuto, Satsuki."
Both looked up at him the moment he spoke. Yuuto was rather suspicious of their leader. He felt /Kamui/'s movements were too erratic at times and was concerned that the teen saw them all as playthings. Satsuki was also not overly fond of /Kamui/ as he had not proven quite as interesting as she would have liked. Neither trusted the cheery tone he was now using with them.
"I went to visit Kakyou, and it seems something new has appeared in his dreams."
This got the attention of both Angels.
"I need information on Kakyou's vision, in which there are four figures at Tokyo Tower. I think one is the other Kamui, but the other three are something of a mystery. One is caped, wearing an odd hat and holding a wand. Another is female and has butterfly wings, and the third is a large feline with butterfly wings."
Yuuto gave /Kamui/ a doubtful look. He wondered if someone had been giving Kakyou "a little something extra" to cause such visions. "I don't think there is going to be much in the newspapers about this."
"Well, you have your work cut out for you, don't you?" smirked /Kamui/ who promptly walked out the door.
"Is our tea break over then?" asked Satsuki.
"He can wait," winked Yuuto.
/Kamui/ knew Satsuki and Yuuto weren't going to start on their duties right away so decided he would contact the other Angels to help with the task at hand. Nataku would be useless in all this, but perhaps that tree-hugger would know something about the cat-creature. Shiyu did seem to have a natural affinity towards cats --And then there was the Sumeragi. As a Seal at one point, perhaps he had information which could prove useful. Who or whatever those other three figures on Tokyo Tower had been /Kamui/ was sure it was significant.
********************************
Seiichirou and Karen met for lunch at Il Forno in Roppongi. Both had wanted a chance to discuss the latest developments without having to worry about being overheard. Karen had picked the restaurant, and Seiichirou was surprised at how bright and open it was.
Despite all of the recent earthquakes, the restaurant was quite busy, and Seiichirou was thankful Karen had called ahead and made a reservation. The destruction in Shibuya close to the station had eliminated some of the more popular lunch spots making those restaurants still open more crowded than usual. There were still many people in Tokyo in spite of the earthquakes.
Seiichirou was still somewhat surprised that Roppongi's kekkai was still standing, but despite the large number of people who worked and played in the area, there were no real landmarks for the Angels to target. The closest target was the tower and that would not be touched until the "Promised Day."
Karen wondered what Seiichirou was thinking about while she ordered them both lunches from the set menu. As the two oldest Seals, they were frequently together. Karen harbored a small crush on the wind master, but knew he was faithful to his wife. His very faithfulness attracted her more, and she hated feeling like she was stuck in a vicious circle. She sometimes wondered how much of her attraction to him was based on his kindness and how much was based on his unavailability.
Neither one was sure how to broach the topic of what had happened the day before, although both wanted to talk about it. The silence between them stretched awkwardly. Finally, Karen raised an eyebrow, looked at Seiichirou and broke the silence. "Kamui does wear his school uniform all the time."
********************************
Yuzuriha walked next to Nakuru on their way back from class with Sorata and Arashi behind them. Kamui trailed several feet farther back.
At first, Yuzuriha had been leery of this exuberant guardian, but now she was starting to enjoy Nakuru's presence. While Yuzuriha adored Arashi, Arashi hid behind a facade of seriousness that was hard to get past. Karen was also really nice, but more than twice her age. Nakuru seemed the perfect age and disposition.
"So what does Spinel do while we are at school?" asked Yuzuriha curiously. Inuki usually followed Yuzuriha to class. Until meeting Spinel, Yuzuriha had never seen the advantage of having an invisible magical companion.
"Souppy likes to read. At least that is what he did when he was in Japan last time," laughed Nakuru.
"Souppy?" queried Sorata.
"Isn't it cute!" gushed Nakuru.
"When were you in Japan before, when Eriol met Tohru?" Arashi asked. She glanced over to Kamui, who still seemed a bit uncomfortable with his parentage.
"Oh no, we were here about three years ago. Eriol had to check on the Clow Cards," explained Nakuru in a voice that seemed to assume that everyone already knew the whole story about them.
"The Clow Cards? What were those?" wondered Kamui. Another mystery to add to the pile. It seemed as if his father's sudden reappearance had opened as many doors as it had closed.
Kamui had expected today to be a miserable day, but instead it had gone rather well. Nakuru was introduced as a cousin of Kamui's, and she seemed to be getting along with the other students. Kamui had been pondering about the events that had taken place in the last day, as well as those alluded to by Nakuru. He had completely forgotten to sulk about destiny, Subaru or any of his past traumas. In fact until now, Kamui hadn't thought about any of those things all day. Kamui was startled from his thoughts by the cheerful voice of Yuzuriha.
"Nakuru-chan and I are going to do a little shopping today. Would you please help with dinner tonight for me?" begged Yuzuriha in a voice that made it hard to refuse her anything.
Kamui gave his assent, and the two girls dashed off. He knew there were a lot of dangers in Tokyo, but he felt sure that everything would be all right.
Sorata and Arashi exchanged looks.
As they came to the door of the Imonoyama mansion they noticed that there was someone there waiting for them. She was a tall girl who had similar coloring to Eriol.
"Look! It's Kamui's long-lost sister!" stage-whispered Sorata to Arashi. Arashi hit him, hard. Kamui stared, his face colored by anger and embarrassment at Sorata's comment. The girl either hadn't heard the comment or had chosen to ignore it.
"Are you Shirou-san? Hiragiizawa-kun asked me to visit with you." She bowed to Kamui. "Nice to meet you, my name is Tomoyo Daidouji."
********************************
Nakuru was having a wonderful time wandering in Harajuku with Yuzuriha. Nakuru had never been alone with a teen-age girl before. She'd gone shopping with Eriol, but it just wasn't the same and Kaho was too serious to be any fun. Yuzuriha was like her; friendly, cheerful, and always happy to find something to eat.
The two girls had bought some clothes and then had gone to Kiddyland where Yuzuriha had bought quite a few stickers and a cell phone strap of a kitten inside of a strawberry shortcake. It was an absurd bauble and made Nakuru think of Eriol. It seemed like the sort of thing he would like. She decided to buy a plush version of the cat and send it to him. After buying their items, they walked to a nearby Haggen Daz to relax. Both had bought huge sundaes and were cheerfully eating.
"Is the stuffed animal for you boyfriend Nakuru-chan?" asked the perky Seal.
"No, when I saw it, I thought of Eriol, it seemed like something he would like."
"Do you miss him?" inquired Yuzuriha.
"This is my first time since I was created being away from him. I've known for a long time I was created to be a Guardian of the Seal, but it is strange not being with him. This stuffed animal made me think of him. He has a taste for the 'different'." Nakuru explained with a seriousness that surprised even her. "I must be spending too much time with Souppy," she thought.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" demanded Yuzuriha in a conspiratorial tone.
Before Nakuru could explain, a startled gasp came from her shopping companion. "Kusanagi-san!"
A large muscular man headed to the table where Nakuru and Yuzuriha sat. He hadn't expected to meet Yuzuriha. Kusanagi had been trying to forget about the unpleasant conversation he had had earlier with /Kamui/ when he had noticed Yuzuriha through the window as he passed by the ice cream shop. Despite the fact that he felt guilty keeping his true identity from Yuzuriha, her presence always made him feel light-hearted. /Kamui/ was annoyed about some strange dream of Kakyou's and was trying to enlist the aid of the other Angels to discover its meaning. Kusanagi had no intention of spying on the Seals and had made that completely clear to /Kamui/ which, had lead to /Kamui/ being rather unamused.
"Nakuru-chan, I'd like you to meet Kusanagi Shiyuu. Kusanagi-san this is Nakuru Akizuki."
Nakuru guessed from Yuzuriha's tone of voice and facial expressions that this man was very important to her.
"Yuzu-chan, I want to get another gift at Kiddyland can I meet you back here?"
Yuzuriha wanted to stop her, but relished having some time alone with Kusanagi-san. Before Nakuru disappeared out of the shop, she winked at Yuzuriha.
"Kusanagi-san, it is so good to see you," blushed Yuzuriha.
Kusanagi smiled back at her. They talked about meaningless things until Nakuru returned and then Kusanagi made his exit. As he walked away from the shop, he wondered who Nakuru Akizuki was.
********************************
The last person on /Kamui/'s list of Angels to visit was his most recent convert. He knew exactly where the Sakurazukamori would be. He entered the garden and found Subaru watering one of the peonies. The Sakurazukamori had no expression and seemed to be in a trance, dead to the emotions he might have at one point had.
"How do you keep them blooming in September?" grinned /Kamui/.
Subaru turned to look at the intruder. His green eye reflected contempt while his brown eye showed only merriment.
"I've come to see how my new Angel is adjusting." /Kamui/ was still greeted by a stony silence from Subaru.
"I'm thinking of attacking another kekkai just so I can see Kamui's face when I tell him you've joined with me."
Subaru's hand suddenly came out and grabbed /Kamui/ around the neck and started to squeezed for a moment.
"I might be a Chi no Ryu, but I won't take my orders from you and I won't be involved until the 'Promised Day.' If you try and use me to hurt Kamui I will hunt you down. The Sakurazukamori's prey does not escape."
/Kamui/ attempted to knock Subaru's hand off of his throat. Despite his failure, he looked at the Sakurazukamori and chuckled. "Now that I have your attention, I came for some information on the Seals regarding a wand and some winged creatures."
Subaru's hand released /Kamui/'s neck and in a fluid motion Subaru turned his back to /Kamui/ and started to walk back to the house. "I said I will not be involved."
/Kamui/ rubbed his neck where the Sakurazukamori had gripped him. While Subaru might not be as powerful as the "Kamui", with the combined power of the Sakurazukamori and as the ex-head of the Sumeragi Clan, he was still a force to be reckoned with and something not to be taken lightly. Fortunately, the Sakurazukamori had unwittingly answered /Kamui/'s question.
