Chapter 2: Interlude: Kamui
-
-
Kamui lie flat on his bed in his dimly lit room, trying to ignore the noises his housemates were making downstairs. It was probably Sorata provoking Arashi again. Kamui sighed. If Sorata wasn't careful enough, he might get Arashi to stick her sword at his throat. But, on second thought, she might not. Ever since that two became a couple, there were endless happenings in the house and there was never peace. Sorata seemed to have became bolder and was teasing Arashi almost every hour every day. And then that was followed by a series of 'GET BACK HERE YOU', which was followed by several curses that Kamui didn't expect that quiet and cool maiden to know and say.
Suddenly there was a loud crash and Kamui sighed. There goes that new cabinet he just bought from IKEA, a new furniture department store that had just opened near their house.
" Damn" Kamui cursed. That cabinet had cost him half of his pocket money for the month, and it was gone now. He decided that he had had enough and was going to give the two a big scolding. Wait-Kamui smacked his head hard. When had he become a nagging mother? Grumbling to himself, he got up, and pulled on his trousers.
[[I'll just tell them to shut it. That is it.]] Kamui thought to himself as he slowly reached for the doorknob.
Then, without any warning, the door burst opened, hitting Kamui in his nose **hard** and pushing him down onto the floor.
" Ouch!" Kamui groaned as he grabbed his nose and glared at the offender. Turns out to be Yuzuriha Nekoi and her spirit puppy. Yuzuriha looked surprised at Kamui and tossed her short hair while that spirit puppy of hers licked him enthusiastically.
" Kamui-kun! You are still awake? I thought you had fallen asleep." Yuzuriha said, helping Kamui up, " And why are you doing on the floor?"
Kamui rolled his eyes and ruffled his hair (He always do that when he was annoyed), " I got knocked down when you opened the door suddenly. You know, you are really like a cat. You can even creep up that noisy stair without making a sound. I wonder why you even had a spirit dog for company...."
Yuzuriha laughed and said, " Well, I did not creep up the stair, Kamui-kun. Anyway, why are you still up?"
Kamui sighed as another crash came, " Oh please, in that kind of-" He winced as there was another crash, " I mean, if you are sleeping just above that kind of racket, you won't be able to sleep. Anyway, what are you doing in my room?"
Yuzuriha looked around, " I was trying to find that story book I lent Arashi-chan. She said she gave it to you."
" Oh, that book." Kamui said, walking towards his desk and began shifting the small stacks of paper on it.
" Why did you lend it anyway?" Yuzuriha asked, tiptoeing to look over his shoulder, " It's about magical cards, you know, and from what I had know about you, you aren't that interested in magical cards." Her spirit dog barked and licked Kamui again. Kamui smiled a little and grabbed an old and tattered golden cover book that was hidden beneath some other textbooks.
" I need some information on them. Sorata said that the other night he was at Tomoeda, there was this girl who could pass through his kekkai with just a staff and some cards." He said, handing the book to Yuzuriha and patting the dog's head. " You know, that book's cover is really old. Try and replace it, all right?"
Yuzuriha nodded, " Grandma would be pleased if I change it." Then she pointed at the door and winked, " Want some help in stopping those two crazy people downstairs?"
Kamui laughed and nodded.

" Damn." Kamui cursed.
Downstairs was a mess. The tables were overturned. So were the chairs. The sofa looked like some second hand goods you get from the garbage pile. It appeared that Arashi **had** really use her sword. Damn, now all the furniture should be in halves. Kamui sighed with relief. His cabinet was intact, although it was lying on the floor now, not standing. Frowning deeply, he glared at Yuzuriha, who was giggling at the scene, then went to the kitchen to see how heavy the damages are in the kitchen.
" Oh shit." Kamui cursed again
The kitchen looked as if a hurricane had just passed by. There were splinters of wood all over the floor and the shelves were shredded. Obviously, Arashi had performed her sword dance here. Yuzuriha was gapping at the shelves and was commenting about not wanting to get in the way of Arashi when she was angry. Kamui groaned and heard another crash, which was in the garage. Not wanting anymore damage to the house, he ran towards it, with Yuzuriha following behind him, and came face to face with a scene that looked like a samurai sword fight.
Sorata was holding this steel rod and was pose in an I-am-ready-Come-and- get-me-Nanee-Nanee-Puh-Puh-you-can-catch-me-Hah-Hah-Hah-and-Hah position while Arashi, who was clearly pissed off and fuming with rage, had her sword out of course, and it was posed in a very dangerous angle. Kamui sighed and groaned. At this rate, Arashi will end up shredding Sorata. Obviously, by looking at her fighting posture, anyone will know that she was an experience swordsman and that she can take out Sorata in just a few seconds.
Sighing again, Kamui went forward and stood in between them. As he had expected, none of them took notice of him. Sighing again, he cleared his throat and started singing bleakly, " One little couple were fighting like cats. One named Pauline, the other name Paul." Kamui rolled his eyes at the terrible song, which had no rhythm and no sense at all. He continued, " In came a kitty, who suddenly stood on his paws. 'I will not eat green eggs and ham, I will not eat them Sam I Am.' was what he sang." He finished and there was total silence in the garage. Kamui rolled his eyes again and said sarcastically, " What. No applause? And I spend about **so** much time trying to create it."
Yuzuriha started giggling while Arashi raised an eyebrow and the corners of her mouth formed a little smile. Sorata snorted and chortled. Kamui just stood there, scowling and feeling very humiliated and stupid. Finally, Sorata stopped laughing and managed to gasp out the following sentence: " You don't actually have to do it. Just have to yell, and we'll listen."
Kamui groaned. Damn. What a perfect day it is. Closing his eyes and eyebrows twitching, Kamui grunted, " I'm going to sleep. And if I heard anymore noise-Yes Sorata, I mean **any** noise-don't blame me for being **fierce**."
With that death of a threat, Kamui stormed out of the garage and hopped up to the balcony in his bedroom only to find that he had locked the balcony doors.
" Damn it" He muttered as he began unlocking the door with the thieving skills he learnt from his mother for fun. Once the door was opened, Kamui stepped in, slam the sliding door shut and flopped down on to his bed.
After making sure that there was no noise, Kamui starting thinking back to the events of that day. He had picked up this habit after Kotori died. Every time he starting thinking, he always recalled in a way that he seemed to be talking to Kotori about it.
The day was weird and hectic enough. Subaru had found nothing about that source of power that had defeated Fuuma. Though he had a strong feeling that it maybe Sakura, he had shake that away as from what he had felt during their first meeting, Sakura's aura was rather weak. But, perhaps that is because Sakura had used a shield charm. Besides that, Karen Kasumi, one of the working adults of the Seven Seals, had come over today (It was Saturday, therefore, no lessons) and they had a rather eventful afternoon. Turns out that Karen had taken leave from her **job**. Kamui shuddered. Karen worked at this bathhouse (Flower) where men were being bath by women who were either naked or in sexy lingerie. Anyway, Karen left after they had a water fight (She was soaking wet) without eating dinner, saying that she have to go back to work at night. Kamui and Sorata had cooked (After they had changed clothes and bath), and they ended up having a food fight and Kamui was slam in the face twice with tomatoes.
Sometimes, when Kamui said some of the funny happenings of the day, he could swear that he heard Kotori's giggles. But then again, he will squish that thought by telling himself that he's hallucinating.
He had wondered where was Kotori now. In heaven? Or still on Earth looking after him, or his brother. Or maybe, she could be reuniting happily with her parents and maybe, his mother. There are a lot of possibilities, and Kamui would always go to sleep counting them......

The next day, Sakura and Syaoran were absent, so were the other two students in the next class that always hang out with Sakura and Syaoran. Immediately, Kamui felt a surge of suspicion coursing through him. After school, he went and visited them with Yuzuriha and found Sakura crying. The girl that's from 1-Y and usually hang out with Sakura was patting Sakura's shoulder. But she wasn't looking so well herself. Her eyes were swollen and red too and she looked very pale.
" Sakura?" Kamui asked slowly. He had a really bad feeling about this.
Sakura went on crying.
Kamui frowned and continued, while Yuzuriha went over Sakura and started to wipe her tears away and her spirit dog licked her tears, " What.....what happened?"
Sakura did not answered but cried harder. Instead, the girl beside her answered.
" Eriol-kun and Syaoran-kun were being taken by some computer wires this morning."
Yuzuriha's eyes widened at it and then furrowed in anger.
" It is her all right. Only she had the power to do it."
Kamui turned and stared at her. " You know that person?"
Yuzuriha nodded grimly, " Know her? Of course. She is the one who murdered my wolf spirit. She is one of the Earth Dragons."
