Chapter 3

As Seishirou pushes into her he sees some kind of a vision. He sees himself as a boy when he first met his mother, he sees himself when he killed his mother for the Sakurazukamori, he sees himself making a bet with young Sumeragi Subaru, he sees himself when he killed Sumeragi Hokuto, and all of his past is being played in front of him.

Seishirou gasped and pull out of Setsuka. He sits up on the edge of the bed and massaging his right temple. 'What was that?' he thought. "Seishirou?" Setsuka asked quietly. Seishirou glances side ways at Setsuka. His head is pounding, as if somebody is trying to break his head from the inside to pieces.

His vision began to blur. He shakes his head but it won't work, he still had the headache. At long last he couldn't stand the pain anymore. and then he black out.

Back in the Chi no Ryuu's head quarters, Fuuma is having a deep conversation with the Chi no Ryuu's yumemi in a dreamscape and that is Kuzuki Kakyo. "Kakyo?" Fuuma asked, "You still can't see the Sakurazukamori's future?" "Eee. even though I don't really know why," he reply. "Do you know who's behind all this?" Fuuma asked once again. Kakyo only shake his head, "Everything that is concerning the Sakurazukamori, I don't know anymore."

Fuuma slam his fist against the dreamscape's wall, "If you can't do anything about it, then I'll have to take matters into my own hands!"

Fuuma clench his fist and make his exit out of the dreamscape. After the Chi no Ryuu's 'Kamui' is nowhere in sight, Kakyo burst into tears, "Hokuto!" he whispers.

Seishirou wakes up at about eleven o'clock the next morning. He blinked two or three times, trying to remember what had happen. He sits up and rubs his eyes against his hand.

He tried to remember what had happen to him yesterday. He remembered seeing Fuuma, he remembered getting home, he went to his bed and at that point, something struck him, "Setsuka!" he said quietly.

He remembered that he tried to make love to Setsuka, but he stop halfway because of. because of. "Damn. I can't remember anything from that point!" he exclaimed.

He scrambles out of bed and then he realizes that he's no longer naked. He rushes to the kitchen hoping to find Sestuka. "Setsuka-san!" he yelled. "Yes?" Setsuka replied quietly holding a frying pan in her hands.

Seishirou stop directly in front of Setsuka. "What is it?" Setsuka asked Seishirou in her usual tone of voice. Seishirou grabs Setsuka on the shoulders and began to shake her. Hard. "What. Happen?" Seishirou asked her. Setsuka only stare at Seishirou, "What do you mean?" she asked. "Don't give me the 'what do you mean?' shit! You know exactly what I mean! What happen after I made love to you?"

"Nothing!" Setsuka answered casually. "Nothing happened! You fell asleep that's all!" Seishirou just stared at Setsuka. He tried to say something but nothing came out. He let his grip on Setsuka's shoulder loosened, and quietly he steps out of the kitchen. He decided on taking a hot shower and going out for a walk.

After taking the two hours long of cold shower, Seishirou wears a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and silk pants with the same color. He put his sunglass on, grabs his coat and headed straight to the door.

"When will you be home?" Setsuka ask through the living room. Seishirou gave Setsuka a low growl and leave without saying anything.

When he was out in the street, he lit up his Mild Seven cigarette and started walking down towards Ueno Park.

After spending three hours of walking around in circles in Ueno Park, he just remembered that he hadn't had breakfast yet. So he walk out of Ueno Park and headed for Takashimaya back in Shinjuku.

He decided to go to the food court to grab a quick meal and after that proceed on doing his 'job'. He went inside to one of the restaurants but stop abruptly at the doorway. In the restaurant he saw all seven Ten no Ryuus. The true Kamui, the one who judge mankind and save mankind from destruction, the monk from Kouya Arisugawa Sorata, the miko from Ise Shrine Kishuu Arashi, the girl from the Mitsumine Temple Nekoi Yuzuriha and her inu gami Inuki, the wind master and editor of Kadokawa Shoten's Asuka Aoki Seiichirou, the fire master Kasumi Karen who works for soap land, and last. his arch rival the thirteen head of the Sumeragi clan Sumeragi Subaru.

Seishirou smile to himself. 'It would be rude to just ignore them' So Seishirou walks slowly towards the Ten no Ryuus with his smile (smirk to be exact) still printed on his face. "Well well. Look who we have here." Seishirou said with a slightly amuse tone.

As if some body had blown a whistle, all of the Ten no Ryuus turn at once. "SAKURAZUKAMORI!?" yelled Kamui and Sorata at the same time. People inside the restaurant turn to them. Seishirou's smirk widened and then he said, "I'm here not to cause trouble to you all. I just want to have some lunch and I'll be out of here."

He pocketed his sunglasses and turn to Subaru. Seishirou smile his 'angelic smile' and Subaru look away almost at once.

Kamui saw this and glare at Seishirou, "You! If you here to harass Subaru I'll---". Seishirou held his hand up, "I told you, I'm here to get some lunch. now if you will excuse me," he said quietly and proceed to the counter to order some take out. He is not going to be able to eat if seven hungry Dragons watching him.

After waiting for about twenty minutes he gives the Ten no Ryuus one last smirk and headed for the door, when suddenly somebody hold his upper arm. Seishirou turn around to find that Subaru's the one holding Seishirou's arm.

"What is it Subaru-kun?". Subaru's grip on Seishirou's arm tightened, "Please. I need to talk to you." Subaru said quietly. Seishirou smile and walk away with Subaru trailing behind him. "Matte! Subaru!" yelled Kamui. Subaru flash Kamui a reassuring smile and continues following Seishirou.

They went outside Takashimaya, and it's raining. "What is it that you want to talk to me about?" Seishirou asked. Subaru hesitated for a moment and said, "About why you always somehow magically appear in front of me." Seishirou blink and stifled a laugh, "Subaru-kun! Who gave you that idea? I'm not following you! I happen to be at the same restaurant as you!" "That's not my point!" Subaru said, voice rising. "Oh? Then what is your point?" Seishirou ask, putting on his glasses at the same time. "Seishirou-san. do you love me?" Subaru asked boldly.

Seishirou was taken back by that question. "Why do you ask? It's probably obvious by now." Subaru's lower lip is trembling. He inhales and then added, "It's funny you know. when you said that you won the bet. that time I was really prepared for you to kill me. but you didn't. After all this nine years you didn't. Why?"

Seishirou just stare at Subaru and then he said sharply, "Subaru-kun, I have no time for your games. I'm busy right now! Sayonara!" With that he left Subaru in the rain without even looking back. 'Am I running away?' he thought. He shook that thought out of his head and then going out t do his 'job'.

The kill tonight is really messy. Seishirou thrust his fist inside a corrupt business man's chest and then ripped the guy's heart out. He grimace at the sight and also because his 20.000 yen coat is drench with blood. He sighs and then headed straight back to his apartment.

"Okaeri nasai!" Setsuka said cheerfully when he got back. Seishirou just gave her a low growl and headed to the bathroom. He took a VERY cold shower after taking all his clothes of. Apparently the question Subaru asked him earlier is still bugging him. "May I join you?" Seishirou turned at once and Setsuka, still fully dress. is already inside the shower with him. "What the fuck you think you're doing?" Seishirou ask sarcastically. "Just taking a shower." Setsuka answer casually.

Seishirou was about to say something when a thought struck him. 'Didn't I just lock the damn door?' He stares at Setsuka questioningly, "How did you get in here?" he asked quietly. Setsuka smirk and then said, "That's not our problem now is it Seishirou-san? The thing is. you're not really smart at answering questions when a particular someone asked you those questions huh?" she stops and then started giggling.

Seishirou gaped at her, "How. Did.You. Know? Have you been stalking me?" he asks her, voice rising almost into a scream. "I never even left the apartment. and you know what Seishirou? I think you're a coward." she said more seriously.

"What?" Seishirou asked back menacingly.

Setsuka just kept smiling. Her wet hair and wet face just makes her more mysterious. Her wet cloth it's more like a second skin and reveals most of her body.

"Seishirou." Setsuka said in a hush tone, "You already knew the answers haven't you? You knew it since nine years ago but you're still afraid to admit it."

Seishirou stares at her for a moment and then shrugs, "I don't even know what you're talking about!"

Setsuka laughs, "You're just running away huh?"

"What?"

"I said. you're just running away."

"From what?"

"You know what."

"*chuckles* what?"

"You're running away from the Sumeragi! You avoid the Sumeragi's question on purpose because you don't want to hurt him anymore."

"Shut up."

Setsuka sighs, "You're even mad at the Chi no Ryuu's 'Kamui' when he blinded the Sumeragi! You're upset! Why? Because you lo."

Setsuka didn't get to finish her sentence because Seishirou slam her to the wall.

"I told you." he hissed, "Shut. Up!"

Setsuka was about to say something but Seishirou already let Setsuka's shoulder go. He turns the shower of, grabs two dry towels and throws one of the towels to Setsuka.

"Go get yourself dry. and if you don't drop the topic. I'll kill you." He said quietly, and then he left for his room.

Setsuka stares at Seishirou for a while then a ghostly smile crept up. 'Time to pay the Sumeragi a little visit'

"Do you understand how to divide this Kamui?" ask Subaru.

"I guess. why do we have to have Calculus anyway???" Kamui reply irritated.

Subaru laughs, "You'll get use to it."

It's about eight in the evening and Kamui was having Calculus lessons in Subaru's room.

"Thanks for your. err. sorry that I bother you with all this." Kamui said packing all his books away.

"Any time." Subaru said quietly. Kamui blush and headed towards the door but suddenly he stopped.

"Subaru?" he asked timidly.

"Hm?"

"Are. you sure you're okay?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because. you don't look too good after talking with the Sakurazukamori. Did he do something that upsets you?"

Subaru sighs, "He upsets me with everything."

Kamui bowed his head down, "But. you do love him don't you?"

Subaru didn't answer, and after a while of silence Kamui left Subaru's room.

Subaru lit his cigarette and closes his eyes. He touched his right eye where 'Kamui' blinded. /'Because, that's what you wish! /'

He stayed like that for a while until he hears a knock outside his balcony. He jumps up and got all of his ofuda's out. The door opened and there he sees a young woman, about his age wearing an oversize shirt and hot pants. Subaru's first thought was that she's beautiful, but than he sense a very strange aura coming from her, and her aura's only had a slight difference between Seishirou.

"Who are you?" Subaru ask.

"Slow down. I just want to talk to you. I meant no harm," she said holding her hands up.

"What's your name?"

"Sakura. Sakura Setsuka. You must be Sumeragi Subaru."

"How did you know my name?"

"I just know alright. I really need to talk to you. I really don't have that much time before he notices that I'm missing."

Subaru lowered his ofudas, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Sakurazuka Seishirou."

Subaru's body tense hearing Seishirou's name.

"You know Seishirou-san?"

"You can say that I'm close to him."

Subaru eyed Setsuka suspiciously while Setsuka just smile. "May I seat down?" Subaru just nod and Setsuka seated herself at Subaru's chair while Subaru seat at the edge of his bed.

"What about Seishirou-san?" Subaru ask Setsuka sternly.

"Before talking about Seishirou. I want to ask you something." Sestuka asked back.

"What?"

"About how you really feel. about Seishirou."

Subaru lowered his head down. How he truly feels? He hated him of course. but then again. ah! Who cares!

"I hate him!" he said finally with a slight hurt tone still lowering his head. Unfortunately, Setsuka catches that.

"Do you really feel like that towards Seishirou?"

"Atari mae da! (Of course)"

"Then. can you say that once more. loudly to Me.? Without your eyes drifting anywhere?" Subaru looks up. "I. I." he tried saying it. but he can't. Subaru looks away. Sestuka smiled.

"I know you can't say it. You really do love him huh?"

"WHAT DO YOU CARE? I DO LOVE HIM ALRIGHT? YOU HAPPY?" Subaru screamed at the top of his lungs. "But besides that. I also hate him." he said more quietly.

Setsuka laughs. "I know."

"Why do you care anyway?" Subaru ask sarcastically.

Setsuka eyed Subaru for a while. "I do care. but that doesn't mean that I love him. You know what? Seishirou's just like you."

Subaru scoffs, "In what way?"

"A lot of ways," she replied, "You both hide your true feelings towards each other; you both got similar 'Wishes'. You both got one blind eye!"

"Time! What do you mean we both hide our true feelings? I know about me. but Seishirou-san? What do you mean by that? Similar 'Wishes'?"

Setsuka held her hand up. "I can't tell you anything just yet. you have to find out by yourself. I just want to help Seishirou that's all."

Setsuka stands up and headed towards the balcony, before that she looks back to Subaru and said, "Subaru. can you do me a favor? Can you. just wait for Seishirou. give him a second chance.?"

After saying that she left Subaru's room. Subaru stood outside his balcony and watch Setsuka running through the yard.

After a while, Subaru just stood there and then he yelled very loudly., "HOW CAN I GIVE HIM A SECOND CHANCE AFTER WHAT HE DONE TO ME?"
