Chapter Two
"Kaammmaaammmuumuiiii-kuun!"
The teenager decided long ago that he liked his named butchered rather than demeaned as 'Kami-chans'. Yuzuriha had given him that nickname as they got to be close friends and he started calling her 'Yuzu-chan' like the other Seals had. As the girl leapt into his arms, in a wild friendly hug, Kamui thought he didn't mind it so much when 'she' called him that but it did sound strange to be addressed so in public.
Yuzuriha smiled at him sweetly as she pulled back, "You've grown a little ... I have to bend my neck up to look at you now."
"Uh ... you have too," he blushed slightly, trying to keep his eyes on her face and nowhere else. Girls didn't like it when you starred at other areas and often would get you a slap in the face if you tried. He had seen this many times between Sorata and Arashi when they lived in Tokyo together.
"Ne, lover birds," came Kyou's voice from behind. "Can we go home now? I'm starving."
Yuzuriha smiled and hugged the redhead along with Yuki, who both sort of tensed at first then quickly relaxed. Couldn't blame them, they had been avoiding hugs from the females outside the family since they were born. Whenever one of the opposite sex hugged a Juunishi, the cursed person would then turn into the animal that possessed them. But since the promise day of 1999 was over, the curse had been broken. However, no one really knew 'why' save for the Magami clan and Kamui's mother Torhu ... all who had died before the Promise Day as shadow sacrifices.
'Positive thoughts,' the teen told himself as they headed towards the car. After all that's happened, Kamui had been suffering under deep depression and had to take medication for it. But he was getting better by going to counseling sessions and in a few months Hatori, the family doctor, said he could stop depending on medication.
"Ne, Kamui-kun," Yuzuriha's cheerful voice snapped him from his thoughts. "Are you sure it's okay for me to come? This is a family get together after all."
"Of course it's all right, Yuzuriha-san," Yuki turned his head to smile at her. "I'm sure Kamui-kun is very happy that you're here."
The teenager would have blushed but paid more attention scratching Inuki's ear as the Spirit Dog laid across both his and Yuzuriha's laps. Lucky for them Inuki didn't shed dog hair ... and if he did, it wasn't visible to the normal human eye. When Kamui stopped petting the dog, he then began to sniff at Kyou with interest and the redhead who was driving was helpless to stop him.
"How is everyone?" Kamui asked, by 'everyone' he meant their friends in Tokyo. He stayed in contact through phone and email but Yuzuriha was the only one he had actually seen since then. It wasn't like they were avoiding him, but he believed that they were busy trying to get their lives back on track, like he was.
Yuzuriha smiled as she brushed back some of her raven dark hair from her eyes. "Nokoru-san is as busy ever but he's always asking how you're doing. Subaru-san said he would come visit next week with me and he's busy studying to be a veterinarian..."
"A vet?" Kamui frowned. "I hope he isn't completely following the former Sakurazukamori's path."
"Oh no," the girl shook her head. "Subaru-san really loves animals! Doesn't he, Inuki?"
The spirit dog barked to answer and went back to sniffing Kyou who kept telling it to leave him alone. It's mistress giggled then continued, "Aoki-san's going to have another child!"
Kamui put on a shocked and horrified face, "But Aoki is a man, Yuzu-chan! You mean to tell me while I was only gone couple of months, all the men in Tokyo are getting pregnant?!"
From the front passenger seat, Yuki rolled his eyes. Yuzuriha playfully punched Kamui in the shoulder, "Don't be an idiot, I meant his *wife* is going to have a baby. They already know it's going to be a boy and they're going to name him Saiki!"
Kamui flinched at the memory of Daisuke Saiki, Aoiki's nephew, was the first to get his wish 'granted' by Fuuma. Monou Fuuma. The Dark Kamui. He shook his head as if to clear it from his former friend.
"What about Arashi?" Kamui wondered about the Shrine Maiden of Ise. Like him and Subaru, she too had lost her special person. But she had survived and continued living like the rest of them. "How is she doing?"
"Arashi-san is fine," Yuzuriha smiled gently at his concern. "She's going to school with me at Clamp Campus and dating Segawa Keiichi-kun."
Kamui nodded, remembering his classmate upon attending school in Tokyo. The cheerful always smiling teenager had wanted to become Kamui's friend and Kamui couldn't understand why since he knew he was a jerk during those days. He also felt guilty since the boy's father had died in an earthquake caused by one of several battles between the Dragons of Heaven and Earth. 'Stop thinking about it!' he mentally shouted at himself.
"Kamui-kun?"
"Na ... Nani?" he stuttered.
"You're brooding again," she pointed out with a serious look on her face.
"Am I?"
"Yes, you are!" she accused and then smiled again. "Cheer up, we're supposed to be having fun, ne? No school and no teachers!"
"And no fan clubs," Kyou added with a smile as they pulled in the drive way at Shigurei's house.
"Fan club?" Yuzuriha blinked.
Kamui glared at the redhead as they entered the house and both he and Yuzuriha were captured in a tight hug. Momiji, who was a year younger than Kyou and Yuki and was only an inch taller than Kamui, smiled down at the two. Ever since the curse had been broken, Momiji practically hugged everyone in sight ... especially Yuzuriha who hugged him back.
"It's been awhile Yuzu-chan and Kami-chans!" he beamed. "You two sure do look cute together!"
Both teenagers blushed and Kamui quickly changed the subject to save them both from teasing. "Momiji-san ... what are you wearing?"
From what he had seen in photo albums, Souma Momiji had always been a cross dresser and looked way to young for his age. If he were to put on a uniform similar to Kamui's, he could probably pull off being a high school student. The man stepped back so they could see his whole outfit that was obviously designed by Ayame. The blonde man wear a three piece light aqua blue suit that had frills at the cuffs and swirly dark patterns on the sleeves.
"You like?" he asked, then putting on his matching hat to complete the outfit. Kamui didn't trust himself to words unlike his friend.
"How cool," Yuzuriha stepped closer to admire it. "I love the color! It's so pretty!"
"Isn't it?!" Momiji squealed and twirled before them.
Kamui remained rooted at the spot and tensed as arms slithered around his shoulders. 'Slithered' was a good word to describe the action since the owner of those arms had once been possessed by the snake of the Chinese Zodiac. Ayame leaned forward to whisper into Kamui's ear causing the youth to become stiff as a board.
"I can make you one just like it," he said in the same seductive manner he greeted Shigurei with. "But I think lilac would be a better color ... to match your stunningly beautiful eyes ..."
Kamui blenched when the older man leaned closer to his face as if to kiss him.
"Ayame!" Yuki snapped from where he came out of the kitchen holding a tray of drinks. "How many times did I tell you not to do 'that' to Kamui-kun? It's bad enough you're a pervert ... but you're own nephew?! Have you no shame at all?!"
"Maa maa," the older man quickly stepped away and Kamui retreated behind his father. "I was just joking around, Yuki. I would never do anything to hurt my sweet, adorable, darling nephew, Kami-chans!"
"Stop calling me that!"
The family went out to dinner that night since no one felt like cooking and washing dishes then split up after it was done. Shigurei, Hatori, and Ayame (much to Kamui's relief) left for the resort already. Probably so they could start getting drunk when they got there and not worry about driving with hangovers. The others would drive to the resort in the morning, to tired to go anywhere but home at the moment.
Momiji slept in Shigurei's room, and Kamui let Yuzuriha and Inuki have his while he stayed in Yuki's room. As Kyou's cries for Kagura to leave him alone died down, everyone started to get some sleep. But for the former Dragon of Heaven, sometimes sleep was the last thing he wanted. In dreams, he couldn't fight against his nightmares.
[ Author's Note ]
Kamui's Name: Has two meanings - 'He who serves the will of God' and 'He who hunts the will of God' - a name with two meanings since he had two destinies to either become a Dragon of Heaven or one of Earth.
Kamui's Nickname: I hope I'm not writing Yuzuriha out of character and turned her into Sumeragi Hokuto ... which I think I am. Anyway the name 'Kami-chan' can easily be translated to 'Little God' ... um ... I couldn't think of anything better at the moment ^_^;
Please note I've done nothing productive this weekend ... my place is kinda messy and I think my fish are floating upsaide down. Okay, they're not dead but readers please review so I don't feel like this was a waste of time to write all of it now - arigatou!
