Disclaimers: All characters of X belong to CLAMP!

Don't be angry with me, if the characters are changing during the story. After all, it IS a fanfic and just a thought of what might have been if there had existed a Yuzuki Nigami.



Bonds of destiny: Chapter2

Subaru sat at a certain stone table in the park of Clamp Campus. He was waiting for Kamui, destined leader of the dragons of heaven. His face was (as always) without any expression. His eyes though, being of a bright emerald, were anything else than expressionless. They hold rather deep emotions, hidden or locked away in his soul, some old, some new. He knew that Kamui wouldn't get hurt here in Clamp Campus, but he refused the idea of letting him alone when not necessary. When he heard a silent noise right behind him, he turned round, expecting it to be Kamui. Yet, it wasn't he at all. Right behind him stood a young girl, probably the same age as Kamui. "Odd, she's looking exactly like.,"thought Subaru. "Oh, I am very sorry. I did not mean to frighten you. Do not let me disturb you! I will leave right now so you can study in quiet. "The girl said with a silence but intriguing voice that gave him the creeps. He made the mistake to look into her eyes and was instantly lost. Through those beautiful blue eyes, as deep as space, he could see right down into her soul. And what he saw made him gasp in surprise. Power, equal to nothing he had seen, rested there, unnoticeable to everyone until she was used. This raw power remained him of someone else, exactly as those beaming eyes did. When he figured out at whom she reminded him, he gasped again in incredibility. "Are you alright?"The girl asked him worried. The young man in front of her suddenly looked pale as death. "Shall I call for a doctor?" Slowly the man shook his head. "No, thanks. I was just a little bit surprised. You look like a friend of mine, that's all." Subaru hurried to cover his shock under his most blank face. Then he decided to learn a bit more about the girl who looked so like Kamui. So he asked her: "I don't remember me seeing you around here before. Are you a new student?" "Well, yes, I am. Though just since today. Nevertheless, I was able to loose my way it seems. You couldn't be a nice guy and take me back to the school's entry hall, could you?" she said with a little but extraordinary charming smile. He just stared at her. Then he shrugged and thought: "Why not? It won't do me any harm and Kamui won't be here for the next half hour." To her he said:"I would be honoured. It may be a bit impolite to do so, but I really want to ask you for your name." She laughed another of her most charming smiles and responded: "It would be impolite not to ask. My name is Yuzuki Nigami." Subaru caught himself smiling back in return and it wasn't a false smile. Something at that girl fascinated him and eased the pain within his heart. "Nice to meet you, Nigami-san. I am Subaru Sumeragi." Yuzuki took a closer look at the good-looking young man. His smile made the sun go fade. "Please, call me Yuzuki. I feel very uncomfortable when people call me Nigami-san. You're a college student, aren't you, Sumeragi-san?" Subaru enjoyed this conversation very much. Somehow, it felt right. His life should always be like now. HE should always be talking to this beautiful girl like now. "Yes, I go to Clamp University. But please, stop calling me Sumeragi-san. I don't like that too much either. "He asked her to do. A mischievous sparkle sneaked into her eyes. "What shall I call you than?" "Try it with Subaru. That's the name I was actually given, Yuzuki-san."He replied amused. "Very well, then Subaru. Would you consider it impolite if I tell you, that I like your eyes? They are such a wonderful emerald!"Yuzuki remarked. That one really took him being off his guard. He could only glare at her. Speechless for more than a few seconds, he was VERY uncertain what to reply. Then he let go off his usual awareness and answered like the innocent and social boy he'd once been: "I won't, if you promise me not to be offended by my remark that I think your eyes are the most beautiful ones I've ever seen." He felt so lightened. "How does she do this? How can she make me be the person I've once been? How is it possible that a single person can make me forget the last nine years?" He asked himself. They both chuckled. When they arrived at the entry hall a few minutes later, Subaru felt quite unhappy. Yuzuki smiled one last time and thanked him for guiding her. Than she was gone, leaving a confused Subaru behind.
