Predator and Prey
Chapter 2-Capture
By: Yakusoku
Learning how to move again was something that amused Kamui very much as he stretched his leg out experimentally, tentatively forward, feeling every muscle, every movement, every sensation, until he had memorized how this shifting of limb felt and gained control over it for the moment. He firmly set the foot down upon the soft, plush carpet of his room and waited patiently for any unbalance or dizziness to come. But none came, and oddly to say, Kamui felt somewhat proud that he had finally regained control over most his body parts after the extra set of limbs forced his entire being off stability. Smiling slightly, he began to put the other foot forward to begin a slow process of moving towards the other end of the luxurious room.but he was no longer concentrating on the matter of thinking about how to move.
["Look, I can move just fine!" Kamui argued after a serious, concerned Subaru insisted on helping him move his limbs correctly. He turned to look into the eyes of the Sumeragi, his eyes reflecting his determination and stubbornness, also a fire that expressed his wish for keeping his dignity. He pouted a little and huffed in anger, his cheeks a pink tint that demonstrated his frustration.
"Then move." One simple statement, one simple command, and Kamui found his temper boiling higher than ever.
"Fine! I will!" And proceeded to move what he thought was his arm.and turned out to be flapping one of his wings, which earned his leaning forward off the bed towards the floor. But even as he shut his eyes and prepared for the impact of the carpet on his face, he heard soft footfalls and felt a pair of strong arms wrap about him in an embrace that sent him into a blushing fit. Instead of feeling carpet, his cheeks rested onto the clothed chest of the onmyouji, warm and comforting. The other helped him back into a proper sitting position before he could finally leave the wonderful embrace of the Sumeragi. And apparently, the burning sensation in his cheeks and the scarlet glower that painted his face must have still remained, for Subaru smiled at him in amusement, his eyes shining in contentment, both of which were not the artificial, pained smile he showed rarely, even to the boy. This only furthered Kamui's frown and he should found himself trying to hit the onmyouji with a pillow nearby.which all resulted in failures, much to his disappointment.
He sighed in defeat and finally relinquished.
"Fine, fine, fine." muttered Kamui quite indistinctly as he attempted to lie down onto the bed, which, to his surprise, actually worked.]
/Then we had proceeded with this long session of move-my-limbs- correctly./
Before realizing it, he had already reached the other end of the room, and his hand had succeeded in resting itself palm upon cool, whitewashed wall.
/Hey, Kamui-chan, good job./ And proceeded to mentally pat himself on the back for his achievement.
Feeling utterly exhausted, he turned around to find that the short distance to his suddenly seem to him to be a million miles away. Looking at the Sumeragi, he thought he felt his courage and energy return to his weary body for a moment as his determination kicked in again, but then it faded as quick as it came, and he felt tired again. Without asking, without speaking, the onmyouji came over, and with a strength that surprised both of them, picked up the boy, tips of wings trailing on the floor, and carried him to the messy bed, which had been changed after Kamui had been moved to Subaru's room to recover and Imonoyama-san had ordered for a new one. Gently laid down upon the bed, he sighed in contentment after one exercised, and almost drifted off to sleep from the warm sunlight and feeling of soft sheets under him.but a sense of unease drifted over his mind and he pried his eyes open.to find that the alarm clock on the drawer beside his bed read 12:03 AM. Which was really strange to Kamui for a moment, because he thought he didn't fall asleep at all.and he couldn't remember what he dreamt about at all either, which was very alarming, for he usually had nightmares.
------------
The next day, Kamui achieved moving more fluently and normally. Then there came the contraction of his wings, the slight forcing of his wings back into his body, which felt.strange to the boy, to say the least. There was a slight pressure in his back, but nothing too serious, and he soon discovered that the more he kept them in there, the more the feeling disappeared, until he felt absolutely normal.
------------
Kamui rejoiced at the thought of returning to school, which was really bizarre since most of the time he hated the thought of classes, teachers, droning and seemingly endless lectures about some subject he had absolutely no idea what it was about, and of course the tedious homework he wanted to burn. But then the idea of fresh air and the meeting with Keiichi appealed to him, and so did Subaru's tutoring, which he enjoyed quite a lot despite the homework.
------------
Anyone without close observation would have assumed that the Shrine Maiden of Ise wore an absolute cold mask of distain for the overly enthusiastic monk cooking besides her. Both of them decked out in white aprons as they busied themselves with the creation of breakfast, the bustling of the kitchen still could not drown out the loud, exaggerated claims of love Sorata declared to Arashi. But as she was preparing to reach besides him for some ingredients, her lovely hand was caught in those warm hands of the other's, and the moment of true affections for each other suddenly presented itself before the two. Even the disciplined Shrine Maiden could not keep the burning blush on her cheeks as Sorata looked earnestly, a bit sad to say, into her surprised eyes.
"I was destined to die for a beautiful woman, and I love nee-san.but I wonder if nee-san will ever cry for me when I die." whispered Sorata in one of his rare times where he was no longer joking or exaggerating.
"Sorata.I-I." whispered Arashi back, overwhelming emotions struggling to free themselves from her heart and to let her finally express her true feelings.
A tender kiss was exchanged between the two as both unexpectedly leaned towards each other, gentle and loving, so unlike the both of them as to how they acted around the other members of the Dragons of Heaven. The initial surprise faded to the warm feeling of sharing this one special kiss with their only love, and when the wonderful kiss broke, it left them feeling dazed and fuzzy with love. But this out of moment was soon broken apart when they both turned away from each other, embarrassed to say the least, Sorata laughing nervously for a few moments before beckoning the both of them to return to their work. But the mutual feeling was there, and that was all they needed from each other, and this knowledge provided them with a strength and link that even the cruelest of fates cannot harm or break.

Breakfast eaten, the walk to the school done with, Kamui felt himself fidgeting slightly as he timidly approached his classroom, which he had avoided for a considerable amount of time due to his injuries. Upon entering the room, there came a rushing of feet and an exclamation and overlapping questions of concern and joy from relief, all in the voice of someone he knew all too well.
"Keiichi-san, I'm fine, really!" shouted Kamui slightly in an assuring voice as his classmate bustled around him examining him in every aspect to make sure that Kamui was indeed alright, as he had claimed.
"I was so worried about you, Shirou-kun!!! What happened!?!? Why didn't you come to school!?!?" and on and on rained the endless questions on Kamui, who was beginning to regret ever going back to school.
By the end of the second class break, however, Keiichi had settled down considerably, and with their lightened moods, their conversation began to take on a happier mood about school, food, sports, and others. Tutoring from Subaru had resulted in a blushing Kamui about most of the time, which he claimed was just from the weather, though the temperature was perfectly normal (in fact, slightly breezy and cool).but Subaru didn't probe further, having more important matters (homework) to attend to with the boy. Besides, surely the boy's body must be undergoing some unusual symptoms after recovering from the springing of his wings.
------------
Days passed by quickly but peacefully, and each day the Dragons of Heaven became more anxious and restless, for they were all expecting another earthquake to happen sooner or later, as shows the general pattern for the past few weeks. But none came, and suspicions arose, followed by more spying, calculating, and observing.
It had been cold that day, Kamui mentally noted, unusually cold since it was almost summer and the weather for the past few days had been considerably warmer. As he hastily grabbed his jacket for a light walk around the school campus, as now is a daily ritual for him, there came a nagging at the back of his mind that some impending danger was coming, but he ignored it, for that dull warning came often and most were falsely given. His footsteps, unhurried but nonetheless impatient, carried him to his destination, the only place where he could find absolute blissful peace where none of his fears, nightmares, and overlapping thoughts could haunt him. His hand on the rough bark of the tree, his eyes closed, the only sound the birds, the rustling of the leaves, and his only breathing and heartbeat, he once again noticed that apprehension and gloom that knotted his stomach. /.danger./ He ripped the thought from his mind. /.run./ He closed his eyes tighter to block out his thoughts, concentrating only on the light wind, the fading sunlight, the flapping and singing of birds.the possessive grip of an arm around his slim waist. This sent him into total alert.
And Kamui's first instinct was to spin around and discover the identity of this intruder, only to find that before he could to anything, his small frame was rammed harshly onto the bark of the tree, chest first. Air knocked out of his lungs, cloth ripped in several places to reveal droplets of crimson blood and pale soft skin. He gasped for breath, the arm around his waist now disappeared to be replaced by firm, predatory hands on his shivering sides, a much larger frame now pressed up against his own as he recognized the masculine scent of his captor.
".Fuuma." whispered Kamui raggedly as he acknowledged the spreading pain around his body.
There came a cruel chuckle near his ear, the warm breath washing over his shell-like ear and soft cheek making him tremble in fear despite his best control not to show such a weakness.
"No, no, no.I am 'Kamui'," corrected the Dark Kamui, his voice purring.
"What do you want.?" whispered Kamui, the hostility clearly visible in his shaky voice.
"The little bird has finally decided to come out and play.I just wanted to play with it, that's all." cooed Fuuma into his ear, and his eyes flashed with naked fear as he put up one violent struggle for his life. The attempts failed, but he continued, putting all his strength, straining himself even until Fuuma became a bit annoyed at his persistence.
"Shh.You are mine now."
And that was the last thing he heard before the world blacked out in front of his eyes.
