Predator and Prey
Chapter 6-Escape
By: Yakusoku
Sex was overrated in its deliciousness and wonderfulness. To him, sex was abuse and torture, and it was coarse and ugly, something that will only dirty the mind, the soul, and especially the body. As he laid in bed, a pair of strong arms wraps around him with one hand resting on his side and the other on his small chest, he smelled in the scent of his captor, his rapist, his tormentor, his love and the only thing he lived for now. He easily ignored the fullness in him, that big length of penis invading his privacy, but he desperately wanted to push it out of his hot entrance. The fullness was beginning to irritate him.
He closed his eyes, hoping to shut out the feeling, which wasn't too hard either.the pain from his newly received wounds and bruises had blocked out most of his senses anyways, so it was easy to concentrate on it and block that out too. He suddenly felt a cough come heavily into his chest, and he muffled the sound as he coughed violently into the sheet he was holding to his mouth. The metallic taste of warm blood and the smell of it filled his nose and mouth, and he knew that he was coughing up blood again.
'Not surprising,' he had thought. He had been coughing up the liquid for more than a week now, and he knew that his health was deteriating fast, what with almost daily abuses and rapes all ending with multiple bruises and wounds. And the singing really didn't help at all, and now, during most of these performances, he was finding that he was coughing up more blood than usual, but of course, Fuuma forced him to continue on, and he, not wanting to disobey his owner, did as he was told. His voice was still there, but his throat hurt him every time he sang or even spoke now, wracking his whole entire frame with coughs and the sensations of pain. He hated his weakness, he hated his delicateness, he hated his frailness, he hated his feebleness, he hated his slightness, because all he felt he wanted to do now was please the person he belonged to, and even this simple task was getting hard to do now.
And his eyes became dull and lifeless, almost bored and emotionless. His heart had long hid itself within the depths of his mind.
. Sleep claimed him soon, slowly and painfully as if patient and wanting to torment him, suspending him between unconsciousness and consciousness, holding him in a state of drossiness. But he slept, the usual dreamless sleeps full of darkness, and he not longer complained from its plainness and dullness. That night, a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes, all that he could see besides the darkness inside his mind, haunted his dreams.
------------
It was the first time he had been inside the headquarters of the Dragons of Earth, Subaru noted with satisfaction at his progress with Seishirou. His lie and his behavior with the Sakurazukamori had deceived the latter enough so that his motives for "joining" the side of the Chi no ryuu were not suspected with any hidden secrets underlying his claim. All he needed to do now is to remember where most of the rooms are so he won't have trouble latter when it comes to finally completing his mission here.
There weren't that many Chi no ryuu there that day, since /Kamui/ had already been informed of the defect through Kakyou's dreams and had already gone to Seishirou's apartment to welcome him, and the rest were all informed through the Beast and Satsuki or /Kamui/. Little did they know that Kakyou had been helping him construct dreams for everybody to fool them without letting /Kamui/ know anything of their tricks and plans.
He paid extra attention when Seishirou tour-guided him around the underground base of complex machinery and mazelike passages full of locked rooms that required pass-codes in order to open the door. He pretended to be aloof to the information and instructions given to him by the other, seeming only to concentrate on holding onto the older man's hand and getting his attention, but he was memorizing as much of the base's plans as his mind could possibly comprehend. And when he came to the room that was /Kamui/'s, he paid extra attention to his surroundings.
".Now /Kamui/-kun doesn't like to have his privacy disturbed, so none of us, except for Satsuki, knows the code to this room, and." droned on Seishirou.
"Seishirou-san, you want to go for an ice cream afterwards?" asked Subaru, another one of his brilliant distractions to signify that he totally "wasn't" taking note of anything about the directions of the headquarters.
"Sure thing, Subaru-kun," smiled Seishirou, "and I can take you out to dinner too, if you want."
Subaru smiled back at him with an almost (note note, almost) dreamy expression on his face. The effect was just as he had intended.
Then they continued on. The plan was just getting started.
------------
When he awoke from his deep but haunting sleep, his mind still sluggish and body still lazy and warm and content, he noticed that it was very dark in the room, and that he was alone on the wide bed, the sheets twisted gently around his small frame. He continued lying on the bed, content and relaxed for a few moments, drowning in the peaceful silence occasionally disturbed with his breathing, drinking in the sweet darkness surrounding him, enjoying the warmth of the blankets as they tenderly caressed his naked skin. He ached all over, true, but he didn't want to treat them.the pain on his body was nothing compared to the pain on his heart, and he quite treasured this sense of pain as it was the only thing that made him feel utterly alive.
He knew when he should get up from bed and take a much needed shower in order to accommodate the events that will be occurring when his captor comes back, and he did as his instincts told him to do. He stepped into the dark bathroom and switched on the lights, standing in the coldness shivering for a few moments as he waited for the turned on water to warm up. The shower was relaxing and caressing, soothing away all of the tautness in his frail body and chasing away some of the pain from newly received bruises. He lathered himself with the sweet-smelling soap, rubbing his skin vigorously until there was a pink tint, just so he could satisfy his sense of cleanliness from such perverted actions of copulation. Not really bothering to put any effort into totally rinsing himself, he merely stood under the stream of rushing water and allowed the warm water to complete its task of carrying away the lather and dirt on his skin. Finally stepping out of the shower, he wrapped his waist in a soft towel and covered his wet hair with another one absently thrown over his head. Drying himself off, he then proceeded to dress himself in a warm blue turtleneck and a pair of loose jeans and boxers. After completing this, he occupied himself with thinking as he sat on the edge of the bed, his hands in his lap.pondering about that mysterious pair of eyes he saw in his mind that day, those beautiful eyes in his dream.
------------
The door suddenly slid open, and Kamui looked up lazily, without surprise, thinking it was his owner, having come back to play with him.only to consider the stranger standing in his doorway with innocent curiosity and utmost attention.
"Kamui." began the stranger.
And he recognized who it was despite all of his memory lapses he had been having since under the control of the other Kamui.
"Subaru-san." whispered Kamui, the name having slipped out between his lips before he even knew he was forming the syllables.
Suddenly, pain and coughs wrecked his body, and he doubled in pain as he coughed violently, continuously, his hand instinctively covering his mouth as a metallic taste drenched his tongue and blood sipped from his mouth. Through his haze of mad pain, he felt a pair of strong, gentle arms wrapping themselves about his trembling, shivering body, covering him with comforting warmth. As the spasms and coughs slowly died down, he felt that same pair of arms gently lay him onto the bed, and he smelt a tingly combination of sweet incense, bitter cigarette smoke, and something pleasant. His vision was fogged, and he desperately tried to stay awake.
"Subaru-san." whispered Kamui weakly, his voice slightly hoarse.
"Shh." It was a command, one that was filled with worry and slight despair. "Don't talk. My god, you're coughing blood!"
For some unknown reason at the time, Kamui tried to smile, and though he failed miserably, he still tried to curl the corners of his mouth up into a tiny smile, as if he found the entire situation humorous or something of the sort. Subaru, meanwhile, rushed to the bathroom to grab a towel, which he quickly drenched in cool water from the faucet, and then returned to wipe away the blood and sweat from the boy's porcelain face. One more small cough forced itself out of the poor boy's throat, but no more blood appeared. And after what seemed like an eternity, Kamui finally regained most of his consciousness, and laid tiredly on the bed with the affectionate presence of the Sumeragi sitting comfortingly beside him, gently stroking his silky black hair.
"Subaru-san." whispered Kamui again.
"You okay now?" asked Subaru calmly, though the concern was evident in his soothing voice.
"Yeah." replied Kamui softly.
".Kamui, what happened to you?" asked Subaru after a moment of consideration as to how to best approach the subject appropriately.
"What do you mean?" questioned Kamui, tilting his head to one side in a sickening curious manner.
"You know what I mean.you were coughing up blood," replied Subaru, his voice slightly annoyed all of a sudden.but it wasn't irritation at the boy he now faced, it was the boy's tormentor.
"I don't know." whispered Kamui, closing his eyes and sighing softly. "All I know was that one day I started coughing, and after singing more, I started coughing worse until the blood appeared."
"You were singing?" asked Subaru, his eyebrows rose in surprise and question.
"Yeah.Kamui-san told me to.and sleeping with him is only serving to make everything worse." whispered Kamui jadedly.
Subaru's eyes hardened in hatred.
"Kamui, let's go," said Subaru firmly as he started to stand up.
"Go? Where?" asked Kamui, his eyes still closed. From the way he voiced his question, it was apparent that the boy did not take the matter as seriously as the Sumeragi did.he had been kept in one single room, that of /Kamui/'s, for so long that he never expecting to go outside of his little cage.
"Back to CLAMP Campus," replied Subaru, starting to help Kamui up from his position on the bed.
Kamui gave a short laugh, soft and amused, but with no trace of emotion, no hope, no joy, no hatred.just emptiness.
"Kamui-san wouldn't be happy about that." answered Kamui. "He told me never to go out unless he gave me permission to."
"Kamui-"
"And he says that everybody is supposed to call me Ejiki," continued on Kamui nonchalantly.
"Kamui!" nearly shouted Subaru in frustration at the boy's behavior. He resisted the urge to shake the boy as his hands were on the boy's thin, frail shoulders.
"You are coming with me!" ordered Subaru as he proceeded to lift Kamui up onto his feet, but Kamui pulled away.
"I belong to Kamui-san.I can't go." whispered Kamui, fighting back burning tears./Why am I crying?/."I can't go, and.I won't go."
Abruptly Kamui turned around to look directly into Subaru's surprised eyes, the anger, the hatred, the sadness, the pain, everything swirling in his two bottomless twin pools of lavender eyes. And with that one glance, everything melted into unawareness, and the two pairs of eyes locked themselves tight together, ignoring everything else, disregarding everything else. The moment passed, the smaller and younger unexpectedly fell into black oblivion as the weariness took its toll on his fragile body. His body collapsed into the embrace of the Sumeragi, who immediately became worried and picked up the light body of the boy into his arms. Cautiously, he opened the door and ran through the correct corridors, as served by his memory, seeking for the exit, gazing around nervously at each sound.he did not want anybody to catch him escaping with something that was "precious" to the other /Kamui/. Provoked anger could get both of them killed, and while he had no care about his own welfare, he wanted to make sure the boy would at least get back to CLAMP Campus safely, where he will be under the protective care of the other Seals.
Picking another corridor and softly treading through this hallway, he glanced around and was almost disheartened when he met the room containing that of Satsuki and her precious supercomputer Beast. Yuuto, one of the Dragons of Earth as he had recognized, was there too, waiting patiently for the computer master and hacker to finish her work. Such a task as escaping the watchful eyes of Beast, which controlled virtually ever single machinery appliance that possibly existed, especially at such close proximity, had been a miracle, which Subaru had never considered much about, but trying to pass right in front would be suicide. As he pondered what he should do, he suddenly remembered that he had seen another way out of this complex somewhere.But his memory failed him, and he stood there, dumbfounded, unable to think of a way to escape, his mind unable to concentrate from all the rising nervousness and fear in his heart.
'Subaru!' called a voice suddenly in his mind.
'Kakyou?' asked Subaru mentally.
'Yes, I will pull you into my dream for a few moments so I can transport you to the other side of the room, but the rest will be entirely depended on you, I can no longer help. My powers are limited under /Kamui/'s watchful eyes,' informed Kakyou.
'Thank you, Kakyou-san,' replied Subaru.
In one sickening moment, the room stretched, pulled and pushed, and distorted itself in fading and flashing torrents of colors and shapes until they were inside that of a traditional paper-walled room. Sitting in the middle was the frail form of Kakyou, the yumemi for the Dragons of Earth.
"Hurry," urged Kakyou as he pointed to one of the rooms opposite to the pair.
"Thank you, Kakyou-san, I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay you," said Subaru with regret in his voice and eyes.
"Don't worry.Hokuto has given me more than I could ever give to you.I only hope I can do everything in my power to complete her Wish.and that is to make you happy. Now hurry, we don't have much time, and good luck," said Kakyou as he smiled gently at Subaru.
With that single message in mind, Subaru quickly stepped across the room and pushed open the sliding door. The world once again dissembled in a dizzying flash and then Subaru found himself standing in another corridor, that on the other side of the room where they were originally.
"Thank you, Kakyou-san." whispered Subaru one last time as he continued on his way, carefully and cautiously picking his way around the headquarters of the Chi no ryuu until he came to the elevator, which he waited impatiently for it to arrive. Once in it and moving upwards, he gently laid the pale, delicate boy onto the floor, his hand reaching into his trench coat to get his stack of ofudas just in the event that one of the Harbingers were at the door waiting for them. He would never let his mission fail.
But when the elevator door slid open, there was no one there, and, after sighing once softly in relief, he picked up the small boy again and continued on his way out of the complex, never stopping for once until he reached the outskirts of that of the building. Then, he looked back once more for any signs of chasers, gazing around almost fearfully for a few moments before turned back to continue on his way.back to CLAMP campus, where the rest of the Seals were undoubtedly waiting impatiently for their return.
