Part 16- Seishirou

**************

Seishirou Sakurazuka felt something slam into his shikigami, feeling the pain deep in his gut. He turned, meeting the brown eyes of the last person he expected to see. "Whimsie.." he said, his voice carefully neutral.

"Sakurazuka-san." she replied, inclining her head slightly. The owl circled overhead, then dropped to her shoulder. "Am I interrupting?"

Seishirou's eyes narrowed slightly. "Actually, I was in the middle of something..." he said, nodding towards Subaru, who was staring at her in shock.

"Oh. More of your petty mindgames? Sorry, but Sumeragi-san will not die today." she said quietly, her eyes fills with a challenge.

"Really Whimsie-chan? It is not for you to decide, and you know it. Or has Toki not let you in on the secret?" he asked, amber eyes cold.

Whimsie shrugged it off. "Subaru-san, come with me. The Dreamseer needs your council, as do we all."

Subaru blinked. "Dreamseer?"

"Hai." said a soft voice. The marboroshi shifted, and suddenly the three figures were in Whimsie's bookstore. Toki sat in the middle of the dusty floor, her hair spread around her. She looked remarkably like Hinoto at first glance. "I am the Dreamseer, Sumeragi-san."

Seishirou's face showed the barest traces of confusion.

Toki's pale eyes gazed into his. "Sakurazuka-san, you are also a part of this. But you may not like the position you must take..."

"Toki! You've..." Whimsie's voice trailed off in confusion.

Toki smiled. "Hai. I have decided. I cannot sit idle and watch this battle be fought. I must take part as my sisters were unable to do."

"Thank Kami…"
