Anyways, spoilers for X17, but anyways here's where this becomes totally AU. XD Warnings for violence and sexual situations in this chapter. Su/K, F/K, F/Su. Semi YnM crossover.


Chapter 4 : A New Sakurazukamori

The Seals knew something had been going on between the Sakurazukamori and their fellow Seal Subaru. They also knew that his death had caused him a shattered him completely. And they didn't need to be any sort of empath to know it, for Subaru had spent that whole day inside his room, not wanting to see anyone nor be comforted. He didn't want anyone to feel sorry for him, not one of them truly understood what had happened. They only knew the Sakurazukamori was death, but they didn't understand why it caused such pain to Subaru. They didn't know it had been the Sumeragi himself the one to kill him. And especially, they didn't know what Subaru had to become now.

He lay on his bed, smoking a cigarette, wrapping his arms around his trenchcoat, stained with Seishirou's blood. His eyes stung with tears, some of them rolling down his cheeks. His every thought returning to that moment on Rainbow Bridge, when he saw his hand through Seishirou's chest. I killed him the way I wanted him to kill me. It was my most precious Wish. To be with you... Hokuto-chan...

Even more tears where shed from his eyes. He still couldn't believe it, he had been sure his Wish would be granted during that fight, even if Seishirou had seem reluctant to fight against him. And then, we saw Seishirou exhaling his last breathe, he felt something tearing up inside him, his heart shattering, his will to live along with it. The Sakurazukamori had mentioned a spell casted by Hokuto, which he had intentionally activated. And he remembered the phrase he had said: It's a beautiful thing to be killed by the one you love... How true that felt to Subaru, after all his wish had been to be killed by his beloved, but things had turned out the opposite of it. He'd killed his love. And it seemed that he'd also had the same Wish.

And then, there was the fact that he now had to take the position of the Sakurazukamori. He had become his own enemy, the enemy of all his Clan stood for. He didn't care what his grandmother nor the rest of the Clan thought. He wanted to take Seishirou's place, he felt he owed him that much. Then he thought of Kamui... Kamui...So much like me and, at the same time, so different ! Am I betraying him ? Am I joining his enemies ? Nothing inside me wants that...

His thoughts quickly went back to Seishirou and his last words. 'I did love you Subaru-kun... ' That had been what he'd said, and then everything fell into place. Seishirou not killing him 9 years agon, his rage at Subaru's of his eye, his visit to the hospital, their talk at the park, Seishirou's reluctance to fight at Rainbow Bridge, his words... It all made sense with those last words, the ones Subaru had been wishing to hear for 9 long and lonely years. Seishirou-san... Why did you wait all these years to tell me these three words ? They are like a wound in my mind, my body. I could hate you for that but no... He could shed no more tears, his eyes had gone dry.

He couldn't stay there anymore, he didn't want to see the Seals' face full of concern and pity for him. He didn't want any of them, especially not Sorata and Yuzuriha, trying to comfort him. And most of all, he didn't want to see Kamui's face, full of love, concern, and understanding for him. He felt too guilty to face Kamui, because he knew the boy loved him, and for now, he could only think about Seishirou. I have to leave... Now... He gathered his trenchcoat, and his very few belongings and left the house of the Dragons of Heaven.

*** *** *** *** ***

Kamui had knocked countless times on the Sumeragi's door for the last 3 days. He decided to try once more, but as the previous time, there was no answer. "Subaru !!! Please, open the door !!! It's me, Kamui !!! I, er.. we're all worried about you !!!" Silence followed his plea. He was getting very worried. He suspected the Sumeragi was no longer in his room, or even in the house of the Seals. His worry made him feel bold and he forced the door open, only to find his suspicions confirmed: the room was deserted.

"Subaru ?" he asked just in case the omnyouji was still around, but only silence answered him again. I continue to lose them, all the people who count for me. My mother first, then Tokiko, Kotori, Fuuma and now... Subaru. He left the house after the Sakurazukamori's death, a few days ago. He felt his eyes sting with tears, but he refused to let them fall, he'd cried too much lately, since his life had been turned upside-down by destiny.

He has been out looking for Subaru all day, just in case the omnyouji had gone to take one of his lonesome walks to Ueno Park, the place where that foul Tree of the Sakurazukamori's stood. And he'd found Fuuma there. Strangely, the Angel had not attacked him, instead he had asked him an intriguing question. Kamui was still trying to figure out what his former friend had meant by those words. ::Kamui, do you know what happens when someone kills a Sakurazukamori ? :: he had asked. Kamui didn't know what that meant, but he would later ask Sorata about it. Right now what worried him was that he knew

He sat down on Subaru's bed, hugging his pillow. It still smelled of him and that was what finally made Kamui's tears start flowing down. He didn't feel betrayed nor angry, he could understand why Subaru didn't tell any of the Seals his decision. None of them would have understood what the omyouji felt. But Kamui thought he knew what the older man felt, he'd also lost all the ones he loved, including Subaru... He felt sad. Why didn't he trust me enough to tell me he wanted to go. And I miss him ! God, I miss him so much ! He was the only one who truly understood me... He fell asleep on Subaru's bed, thinking of him.

*** *** *** *** ***

Fuuma walked around the ruins of Rainbow Bridge, where he'd been passing for the last few days, ever since Seishirou had died. He wasn't sure why the fact of Seishirou being dead bothered him when he shouldn't have cared in the least. He hadn't loved the Sakurazukamori, had he ? He had slept with Seishirou a few times, but still... He had thought that was all the relationship was for. No, I didn't love Seishirou, I love Kamui... and I have to kill him... I know how Seishirou must have felt about that Sumeragi guy. And there, I'm thinking about him again when I shouldn't.

In the long run, it didn't really matter that much, in just a few months, maybe even weeks, he'd be dead. He remembered something he'd read from Seishirou's Wish: :: It's something beautiful to be killed by the one you love the most... :: From the moment he'd seen that in the older man's heart, he knew he would die to his beloved Sumeragi. The man was insane, and he'd gotten what he'd asked for. And wasn't that what he did ? See that people's wishes were granted and help fate a little when they didn't ? But that didn't mean he completely understood the reasoning for Seishirou's decision. He himself knew he would die at Kamui's hand, which didn't make him appreciate death. Getting killed was getting killed, no matter who did it, what the motives were, or how he was killed.

He also remembered Seishirou's other Wish. He had wanted to heal the wound inflicted on Subaru's eye by /Kamui/. He had never forgiven him for it. And Fuuma was determined on granting Seishirou's last wish. In the ruins of Rainbow Bridge, he had found Seishirou's good eye and he had taken it with him. He was going to take it to the Sumeragi, and see what he did with it. At any rate it would be amusing, and at the moment he needed a new one.

*** *** *** *** ***

Subaru sighed, he had spent all day walking around the places that reminded him of Seishirou, Ueno Park, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Seishirou's house... He was leaning against the fence and looking at the trees. They had been well-kept until Seishirou's death. He wondered if the Sakurazukamori cared for the plants himself, or if he hired someone to do it for him. At any rate, it seemed that no one had watered them since the Rainbow Bridge incident, so he decided to do it himself. Subaru got a hose and started watering the plants. He decided to do it everyday, for Seishirou...

He was just about to leave when he felt a powerful presence in the garden. He would have thought it was Seishirou, if he didn't know Seishirou was dead, and besides this presence was similar to Seishirou's but very different at the same time. Fuuma... Must be Fuuma, no one else would have a power like this... he thought. He turned around, and in effect, he was greeted by /Kamui's/ arrogant smirk.

You know, Seishirou was not really happy with me after I took your eye, he said. He didn't really appreciate that someone else than him dared to hurt his boy... his smirk never fading from his face, if possible, it widened. All Subaru felt for the younger man was hatred, for hurting Kamui's body and spirit. But most of all, because in a way, he had helped to grant Seishirou's wish but no his.

Like you will never accept if someone else than you dare to hurt Kamui ?! Subaru replied, not wanting to let Fuuma play his mental games with him. Fuuma's smirk became a grin and proved right Subaru's comment, but otherwise he remained silent, as did Subaru. The Sumeragi could still feel the pain in Kamui when he thought of all what this boy, because Fuuma was no more than a boy, had done to him. He didn't need to be any kind of empath or wish reader to know what Kamui felt.

After a long moment of warily eyeing each other, Fuuma talked again. Seishirou left something for you... he said again, taking something out of his coat pocket.It was a beautiful kind of flask, decorated with magical Ying Yang signs, and some magical symbols, possible some kind of dark omnyoujitsu spell.

This is Seishirou's left eye... The only rest of him I found in Rainbow Bridge ruins. It seems his last Wish was to heal your wound or, maybe, he wanted you to be... he said, but was interrupted by Subaru before he could finish the dread sentence. He knew perfectly well what Fuuma wanted to say. That Seishirou had wished for him to become his succesor, that that had been the reason he'd made Subaru kill him. Subaru didn't want to believe that.

I have had no hand in this Fuuma continued, I'm merely granting Seishirou's last wish, he wished for you to have his eye, though I couldn't really guess his purpose before his soul finally left his body. If you take his eye, not only will you take his position as a Sakurazukamori, but you will also replace him as a Dragon of Earth. Think about it, Subaru-kun... he finished, before finally leaving Subaru by himself.

Subaru collapsed into the ground in sobs. He'd already known he'd have to take Seishirou's place as the guardian of the Sakura, but what Fuuma was suggesting went against every wish in Subaru's heart. Fuuma, no /kamui/ wanted him to become Kamui's enemy. And he couldn't do that to the boy, because he loved him dearly. Why ? Why do I have to choose between Seishirou-san and Kamui all over again ? I already chose Kamui when I decided I would protect him, but now... I the choice is between leaving things as they are or becoming his enemy ? Why Seishirou-san ? Did you really wish this for me ? Or is another of Fuuma's games ? Seishirou-san... why did you leave me ? I love you !!!

Fuuma had left Subaru, but even from the distance he could feel the Sumeragi's conflicting wishes, his pain, his tears. And he was inmensely enjoying it. You're a very amusing new toy Subaru... No wonder you were Seishirou's favorite...

*** *** *** *** ***

The next morning, Sorata and Arashi found Kamui still asleep on Subaru's bed. They had known Subaru and Kamui had shared something special, something they didn't have with the rest of the Seals. It was an almost tangible bond between them, almost as strong as the Sakurazukamori's had been on Subaru. It was very evident that the Sumeragi's sudden departure had shattered Kamui's spirit, they were even surprised that the boy hadn't gone within again, though they were thankful for that, given that there was now no one to bring their leader back had that happened.

"Nee-chan, would you go help Yuzu-chan with breakfast ? I'd like to talk to Kamui." Sorata told Arashi, having decided that the young Seal would open up more easily to him than to any other Seal, save Subaru. Arashi nodded and quietly left the room, as much as she wished to help him, she knew that right now there was nothing much she could do about it.

"Kamui ?" Sorata shook Kamui gently, waking him up from his finally dreamless slumber. Kamui slowly opened his violet eyes and the older Seal didn't miss the sadness and pain in them. Poor boy, he lost all the people he loved since his childhood, and when he'd finally found someone else, he loses him too... Sorata thought, gently smiling at the younger boy. "Good morning, Kamui. How are you feeling ?" he asked.

Kamui yawn and looked at Sorata, ignoring the question in favor of asking one of his own, one that had been burning inside him since he had seen Fuuma the day before. "Sorata, do you know what happenes when someone kills a Sakurazukamori ?" he asked, his mind still somewhat numbed by sleep. Sorata panicked, his sharp mind immediatly identified the connection between the question and Subaru's sudden disapperance.

"I, uh, I don't know Kamui." he answered, stammering, showing that it was a blatant lie. Kamui looked at Sorata with tears in his eyes. "Please, tell me the truth Sorata... I just need to know !!!" he pleaded with his friend. The monk sighed, he didn't want to hurt Kamui anymore than he already was, but he would find out the truth sooner or later, so it would be better if he told him now. "When someone kills a Sakurazukamori, that person must become the Sakurazukamori and keep the Sakura provided with nourishment." he answered reluctantly.

The tears that had been gathering in Kamui's eyes started rolling down his cheeks. No, please, not Subaru... Kamui thought, his mind understood, but his heart refused to accept the fact that his beloved was now walking in the darkness. Sorata placed a hand on the boy's shoulder, trying to comfort him, but it was shrugged off. "Please leave me alone Sorata... I just... I just want to be alone..." he said. He threw himself on the bed, crying, hugging Subaru's pillow tightly against his chest, his beautiful violet eyes spilling endless steams of tears. Subaru... Do you still love me ?

Sorata knew there was nothing he could to do help Kamui at the moment, mostly because he didn't completely understand what Kamui was going through. He decided it was better to leave the boy alone for a while, until his heart accepted to understand the knowledge in his mind. He closed the door behind him and went downstairs to see if Yuzuriha and Arashi were finished with breakfast.

*** *** *** *** ***

Subaru took the flask Fuuma had given him to his new home, which was Seishirou's old house, one that happened to be very near Ueno Park. He felt close to Seishirou this way. He looked over and over at the flask, pondering what he should do about it. He wanted to follow Seishirou's wish and transplant the eye to himself. But on the other hand, he felt he didn't deserve a good eye again, especially because he had killed Seishirou with his own hands, even if he hadn't meant to do it. Seishirou-san... Why ? was the question that ran on Subaru's head over and over. He wasn't sure what had been the late Sakurazukamori's not Fuuma's intentions at giving him the eye.

It was well into the night when he finally decided to transplant the eye to himself. He opened the flask and chanted a spell. When he was done he was drained and his eyes were sore, but when he opened them, he was able to see as clearly as he had before Fuuma had damaged his eye. But more than the physical pain, he felt a pain inside of him, in his spirits, as his once pure soul and powers were tainted by Seishirou's dark powers. The Sakurazukmori's powers battled with his own, in the end settling into his spirit and strenghtening him.

Subaru panted, he was exhausted, but he wanted to know if the transplant had truly been successful. He gathered himself to his feet and stood in front of the mirror to look at himself. A pair of mismatched eyes stared back at him, one emerald green, but instead of the milky-white one a honey-coloured eye. I am the Sakurazukamori now. Not only had he killed Seishirou, but now he had his powers. The only thing to do was to wait until the Sakura called him, but he knew it was only a matter of time until it did. Maybe I will pay it a little visit today... he thought. And maybe another one to Kamui...

*** *** *** *** ***

Kamui finally left Subaru's room, but he didn't go downstairs yet, he didn't want the other Seals pitying him, trying to cheer him up, or telling him he needed to eat. Instead he grabbed a warm jacket and decided to go looking for Subaru again. Maybe he'd be lucky and finally find the omnyouji and convince him to return with the rest of the Ten no Ryu. And maybe he wouldn't find Fuuma this time, he had no wish to be toyed with by the Angel's mind games.

He decided to look for the older man at Ueno Park, somehow he was sure he would find him here. After all, that was the place where that blasted tree stood and where Hokuto had died too. Ueno Park held Subaru's very soul. The weather had gotten colder and damper ever since the Sakurazukamori's dead. He wrapped his jacket closer to his body, but kept walking on his way to the Sakura.

He saw Subaru standing next to the Tree, doing something he couldn't identify. He didn't care, he was happy to have found Subaru at last so he ran towards him. "Subaru !!! Subaru !!!" he yelled, but he stopped as he looked at the blood dripping from the older man's hand. Then slowly looking up at his eyes, dreading to look at them, dreading to see that vacant stare the late Sakurazukamori had held in his. And he was answered by a still warm green eye, but it's beauty was polluted by the golden eye which erradiated evil. It was Seishirou's eye ! He tried to scream, but he was fascinated by the strange beauty those eyes held. He couldn't take his gaze off them.

Subaru's expression didn't change, as he watched Kamui's conflicting emotions. The boy's violet eyes showed happiness, fear, anger, love, betrayal. He just walked towards the boy and grabbed his wrist roughly and said: "Come with me Kamui." Without waiting for any answer or acknowledgement he pulled sharply at Kamui and lead him to Seishirou's house, which was now his own.

"Subaru ? Are you alright ? Why did you bring me to Seishirou's house ? Why did you leave us ? Why did you leave me ?" Kamui asked, as the new Sakurazukamori dragged him inside his predecesor's house. "Shut up Kamui !!! It's none of your business why I left the Seals. I am a Dragon of Earth now. And did it ever occur to you that if I left you it was because I loved Seishirou-san and not you ? Did it ever occur to you that you're just a whiny little brat that not even Fuuma can stand ? Did it ever occur yo uou maybe I left because I'm tired of you and want to be alone ?" he answered, an evil gleam shining in his honey-coloured eye.

Kamui was completely shocked, he expected to find a depressed Subaru, but this Subaru was not the person he had wanted to find, not the one he loved so much. "S-Su-Subaru... y-you don't really mean that right ?" he asked, his voice trembling, tears threatening to fill his eyes again. "Of course I mean it Kamui, I never say things I don't mean." the older man answered. Kamui still tried to hold his tears, he refused to cry in front of Subaru after he'd called him a 'whiny little brat'. "B-But I love you..." he said, looking away.

Subaru just pushed Kamui onto the couch. "I am no longer capable of love Kamui. All the love I ever felt for anything or anyone died along with Seishirou-san. Love is shit Kamui, it will always make you get hurt. When you think you're happy with someone, somthing will always happen to take it away. Seishirou-san was right, love is a weakness and you'd do better without it."

"B-But Subaru... how can you s-" he started pleading, but was silenced by a sharp slap on his right cheek. "Shut the f**k up Kamui !!! Stop whining !!! You give me a headache !!!" he yelled at the scared boy. Then he kissed him roughly. Kamui didn't kiss back, and when Subaru started almost ripping off his clothes he didn't do anything either. He just lay there, too scared to move, letting the older man do what he wanted. The young Seal knew it was in part because he was scared of this new Subaru, but also because he still loved him. When the omnyouji was done, his cheek was still hurting, and all his body too. But nothing hurt as much as his heart after all Subaru had said and done to him. He silently cried, as Subaru fell asleep. Subaru, come back ! Please !

*** *** *** *** ***

Fuuma casually walked near to Seishirou's old house, more out of habit than melancholy or nostalgy. He used to come here often when the Sakurazukamori was alive, and that was now he found himself coming back. He had gotten nearer when he saw Kamui walking shakily out of the house. Kamui ? What is he doing here ? Maybe he came to visit that Sumeragi... he thought angrily.

Kamui turned around and finally noticed Fuuma was there, but not making any movement to approach him, trying to hide the bruises Subaru had to him from the older boy. The kamui of the Angels ignored Kamui's actions and walked nonchalantly towards him. "So, visiting your 'old friend', Sakurazukamori Subaru ?" he asked, and laughed as he stood close to Kamui.

The Seal looked sadly at him, his tears returning to his violet eyes and suddenly hugged his twin star. "Fuuma... he... he... raped me..." he said, unable to talk in a voice above than a whisper. 'Kamui' was suddenly filled with a terrible rage towards the Sumeragi, but he didn't do anything, he just held Kamui in an embrace, not knowing what else to do to comfort the boy crying and trembling in his arms. After a while, he let go off Fuuma and went back to the house at with the other Dragons of Heaven.

Fuuma still stood on the doorway to Seishirou's, no Subaru's house, he reminded himself. The rage that had filled him earlier had not yet evaporated, if possible, it burned much more than before. Kamui is mine, dammit !!! How dare he rape him ? Only I have the right to do it !!! he thought. He threw down Subaru's door and entered to what once had been Seishirou's house. He found the Sumeragi sitting on the couch, wearing only a robe, confirming with the smirk he wore what he done to Kamui. And apparently he found that, and the fact that Fuuma was in his living room very amusing.

"How did you dare to do it !!! After what I did for you !!! You know very well Kamui is only mine !!! You don't have the right to even touch him !!!" Fuuma said, as he stood in front of Subaru. The older man only shrugged, the smirk still on his face, obviously not afraid of what Fuuma could do to him. "Kamui is not yours. In fact, I think he's mine. He was the one that came to me, not the other way around." he said with a voice that betrayed no emotion.

This only served to make Fuuma even angrier at the omnyouji. "You don't have the right to touch him, you hear me ?!! Don't even go near him again !!!" he repeated. Subaru just let out a low chuckle, dismissing his new 'kamui's' words entirely. Fuuma couldn't take it anymore, faster than the older man could react, he grabbed him by the neck and pinned him against the nearest wall. He leaned close to Subaru and whispered. "Don't. Touch. Him. Again. I'm going to give you a lesson to show you to mess with what is mine."

*** *** *** *** ***

Subaru woke up the next morning on the living room floor. His head ached terribly. In fact his whole body did. It took him a few minutes to realize where he was there. He wondered for a few more moments why he was so sore and why he was lying in the living room floor of Seishirou's house. What the hell am I doing here ? Why does everything hurt so much ?

Then it hit him. He had moved to Seishirou's house, that much he'd remember. Then he remembered bringing Kamui here, and taking him on the couch. Then he also remembered that Fuuma had "visited" him after that. Fuuma had been furious because of what he'd done to Kamui. He had entered his house, yes it was his house now, without asking for any permission. And he "gave him a lesson" as he had stated it. That was why he was lying ther and he was so sore.

That little bastard !!! He hurt me badly. Even Seishirou-san wasn't so violent ! I understand why Kamui kept running to me after he was with Fuuma !!! he thought, feeling a burning hatred for the 'kamui' of the Chi no Ryu. Kamui... All that is the fault of this little bastard !!! He probably ran to Fuuma to whine about me, as always. Can't that little brat do anything other than whine to people ?

But he's going to pay, oh yes. Both of them are going to pay, they will both see that only I own Kamui, and that none of them can mess with a Sakurazukamori and not pay for it. Aren't you proud of me Seishirou-san ? I'm becoming like you, and Kamui is becoming like I was when we first met. Too bad I'm not going to end up like you did...I will show Fuuma he can't hurt the Sakurazukamori without being punished !!! I'll take his most precious toy away from him. Kamui will be mine !!! Totally mine !!! His body... His soul... Every inch of his being will be only mine... Kamui will be my prey. I will mark him. Very soon. And that will show them both who owns the little brat.

*** *** *** *** ***

Kamui lay in Subaru's bed, unable to move even a finger, couldn't even breathe, for fear of waking up the omnyouji, who slept soundly next to him. And if Subaru woke up he would hurt Kamui again... So he just lay there on the bed, crying silently. He cried because he was in pain, in his body and in his mind. But worse than that, was the pain that had been caused in his heart, in his fragile soul. Subaru had chosen him and marked him as his prey.

He stared at his hands, which now bore the Sakurazukamori stars, as if in a trance. He couldn't take his eyes of them. He would have never, ever even imagined that Subaru would do such a thing to him. He was the new Sakurazukamori's prey and he didn't understand why. He had never done anything to the Sumeragi. Maybe I did whine too much... Maybe in this way he is telling me how worthless I am... how tired he is of me... how much I really deserve to die...

More tears filled his eyes as he recalled the brutal way in which Subaru had marked him. He had not been as "gentle" as Seishirou had been when he'd marked the young omnyouji. He had chanted the spell that connected them as hunter and prey, and then he had taken him again in his bed. Then the older man had fallen asleep next to his new prey. He was that much worried about the boy escaping from him.

Kamui still couldn't understand why Subaru did this to him. He had thought Subaru loved him, and he had loved the omnyouji almost as much, or maybe even as much as he loved Fuuma. The new Sakurazukamori had said he had marked him because he wanted to punish Fuuma, to show the Dragon of Earth who "owns" Kamui... Why Subaru ? Why ? I don't want to care anymore... It hurts too much, it's all I know now...

Only when he was completely sure the Sumeragi wouldn't wake up, even if he moved, he untangled himself from Subaru and got off the bed. Then he seached for his clothes, got dressed and left the house. Towards Ueno Park, towards the Sakura.

And it was there that Fuuma found him. He had been walking around, trying to keep watch of Subaru's actions. But when he got closer to Kamui, he noticed he hadn't watched the Sakurazukamori enough. He had marked Kamui, his Kamui, as his prey. And that was something he just couldn't stand. Bastard !!! How dare he !!! How dare he try to take away what is mine !!! He may have marked him, but that alone won't make him his, when he's already mine, as he has been ever since I've known him... he thought, swearing to himself not to let Subaru get away with this.

As he reached the place where Kamui was, he realized the full exent of the damage the Sumeagi had done. Kamui was completely and totally broken. He just looked at his former friend with violet eyes full of tears, full of pain, full of betrayal. Fuuma didn't know what to do, he wasn't good at comforting people. Killing and hurting people he knew how to do, but give comfort to a shattered, he just didn't know how. So he just held the boy tightly against him, letting him cry out all the pain in his heart, in his spirit.

"Fuuma... I don't want to go back with the other Dragons of Heaven... Not now... I wouldn't be able to stand their pity. Please, let me go with you. Just for tonight. I just can't go back just yet." Kamui pleaded with Fuuma, not feeling ready to confront his fellow Seals, because none of them would understand him. The only one who had, was the one who'd hurt him and would hurt him again if he found a chance to do it again.

Fuuma just couldn't say no to that pleading voice. He felt something overcome him with concern for this young boy and he nodded. "Hai, you can come with me. But just for tonight. Just remember that this doesn't change anything. The fact that I'm being nice to you now doesn't mean I won't hurt you or kill you in the future. We're still enemies, understand that. But I promise I won't hurt you tonight." he said. Kamui nodded, fully understanding and accepting what Fuuma was saying, but otherwise didn't reply.

*** *** *** *** ***

Subaru woke up a brief while after Kamui left. He was angry that his prey had escaped while he was asleep, but his anger soon evaporated as he started thinking of his success. So easy !!! It was so easy !!! And I'm sure not even Hinoto could have forseen this !!! I don't even think Kamui understood what I was doing before he saw the stars ! he though, a mad gleam shining in his mismatched eyes.

He chuckled as he thought of the pretty boy. I like my little prey. So pretty... So compliant... But so fragile. I must take care of him !! Be careful not to break him, not to kill him too early !! Even if the Tree begs for Kamui's soul, I will keep him in life for the moment. I like to play with this kid !! Now I see why Fuuma found so much amusement in him. It's very entertaining watching him plead to let him go, so very much...

A frown crossed his forehead as he thought of 'kamui', but it did give him a certain mad pleasure that he'd finally done something to derange the cold young man. Fuuma must be really mad at me now. Oh well, it shows the bastard he can't control the others as he wants to pretend he does !!! Being the leader of the Seven Angels doesn't give him the importance he thinks he has. Anyway, from now, everytime Fuuma'll see Kamui's hands, it will remind him who really possesses that little brat's soul and body !!! Me, the Sakurazukamori... He laughed evilly to himself, not being able to wait to see Fuuma's face the next time they met.

Kamui did stay the night at Fuuma'a apartment. The older boy had been amazingly gentle with him, not even daring to touch a single hair of his younger companion before he allowed him to. The Seal had slept relatively peacefully, knowing he was "safe" in Fuuma's arms and that Subaru wouldn't dare to come and hurt him here.

Also Fuuma had allowed him to stay there most of the day. He had allowed him to cry again and again, "as much as he needed", the Angel had said. His twin star had also spent the whole time holding him and hugging him, and overall being nice to him. To Kamui it was as if he had gotten his old friend back. But he knew it wouldn't last. That afternoon he returned to his fellow Seals, and to being Fuuma's enemy.

Seishirou's soul was transported to the Meifu, the land of the dead. He knew he was dead as soon as he felt his own spirit leaving his body. Then it had been carried to this place. But right now he didn't want to be judged and sent to heaven or hell. He just wanted to help his Subaru-kun. From here, he'd been seeing everything the Sumeragi was going through. He couldn't believe his once sweet and innocent lover had become just like he had been when he was alive.

No. It didn't happen. It just didn't! I can't believe Subaru is really the Sakurazukamori... Even if he killed me, not that he had the choice... Even if he has my eye, the eye I gave him to heal his wound... he thought sadly. He didn't want to think this was that Subaru had become, an emotionless killed, like him. He's not the Subaru I knew and loved anymore... I don't know him anymore... As if Kamui didn't have already enough with Fuuma... But what can I do ? He really did wish to help Subaru... and Kamui.
