Under the fall of the sakura a smile wiped through the strangers face for what he had planned for came out just the way he wanted it to. The onmyouji was under him unconscious, weak and the time had come. Slowly getting up, Sejiko turned around to face the voice of death. At that instant, both their amber eyes burned into one another.
Seishirou was leaning on another Sakura tree with a cigarette between his fingers. Eyes eyes fixed on the man on the other side. Thinking how he should take his time to kill this one.
'o-sashiburi desu ne Seishirou-kun' Sejiko said with the smile that resembled that of Seishirou's. ' I have been waiting all these years for this day'
'Is that so..well lets not wait and get on with it' Seishirou said with his smile broadening. Now everybody knows that the broader the smile of the sakurazukamori, the more angry he was. Sejiko knew this especially but still provoked it with the case of Subaru.
'Oh brother you have always been so quick with things and since we have not met for so long.lets catch up on things like how we used to.Seishirou-kun of course that was before that happenned' Sejiko was obviously enjoying himself provoking the man on the other side.
'Its really a pity that I do not have the time to do so' Seishirou said lifting his hand in a fist with spiritual powers circling it rapidly ready to pierce through the target on the other side. His anger was soon reaching the point of 'uncontrollable' but his face was always calm normal and smiling.
'Oh wait just yet. You have gone so inpatient my dear younger brother! Before we start I have to make sure that this onmyouji doesn't get in the way of me killing you' He then grabbed the onmyouji by the neck and lifted him up. His nails intentionally sunk into the wounds of the onmyouji's neck causing the flow of his blood down his arms. He started chanting a spell on the unconscious onmyouji and when he was done slammed him on the sakura tree.
'By the way how did you know I as here? I was expecting you but not that fast..i had things to..play with when you interrupted me. Well not that it cannot be done after im through with you'
'I had already known you were here quite some time ago but I just didn't bother. I didn't think that you were stupid enough to mess with my prey, well I am mistaken you are indeed truly stupid. If I had known that you craved death so badly I would have given it to you but this time..you need not ask for it you know why? That's because you hurt my Subaru-kun.'
He then charged towards Sejiko who charged back grinning..

**************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** ************************ Subaru awakened but he was nowhere in reality. He had awakened to a cruel dark illusion of a dream. Darkness surrounded him. The only thing that was there was the great sakura tree. Subaru brought his hands to the terrible pain in his neck. He didn't give it much thought as he was already accustomed to pain and no pain physically can out run the pain his heart has endured. The pain on his body was nothing to him. Slowly getting up, Subaru started walking towards the tree. He sensed that the main source of the illusion was from the tree. But as he had thought, it wasn't that easy to get out of it.
There from the shadows someone was running towards him..Someone.
'Subaruuu-kkuunn' came a voice that was ever so familiar to the ears of the Sumeragi. It strucked his heart.
Running towards him was a girl had an odd sense of dressing and had the face that was a replica of his own.
'Hokuto.' a whisper emerged from the onmyouji. His heart beating faster and faster.
The girl with the arms spread embraced the Sumeragi every so deeply. Tears were falling from her face as she cried out ' I have missed you Subaru- kun..so truly missed you.. im sorry this had to happen to you. I just loved you so much that I didn't want that to happen to you. But everything is all right now. We are together now you and me. Like always. Like always as we had promised'
Subaru hands were trembling as he stretched them out to return the embrace that he had so longed for. Trembling and shivering he slowly closed in for the embrace but his arms suddenly stopped as a tear ran down his cheeks, he lowered his hands and looked up to the pitch black top. He couldn't bear to see her cry.
'Subaru..whats wrong? Why are you crying? Im here so now you dont need to cry anymore.'
The girl stared into the teary eyes of the onmyouji who placed his hands on her shoulder and pushed her gently aside.
'Subaru.what.whats wrong? Do you remember me? Im Hokuto-chan.Do you not love me anymore???' The girl was in a state of shock and despair.
'Subaru with tears falling from his eyes like the rain said to her ' Im sorry but my Hokuto has died a long time ago...' He took a last look at the girl, brought his hands to her face, wiped her tears, smiled sadly and walked away...
'SUBBARRUUU' the girl screamed crying. 'Finally I get to be with you and you..you..SUBARUUU!!!!' The girl grabbed onto the onmyoujis white trench coat refusing to let this chace of reunition as he slowly walked away leaving her sinking to her knees unbelieving.
'SUBARRUU' the girl kept on crying out with one hand trying to reach out to the onmyouji.
But the onmyouji refused to turn around. He felt his heart tearing to ways.The pain was excruciating.. The closed wounds in his heart had been slashed open. Scenes from his long lost but never forgotten memories returned.. Those laughters of them three. Those deceived days were he had to admit the best he had ever lived but the consequences were far too great to bear.
'AAHHH!! Girls are soo cutee!!' 'Subaru and Seisirou make a perfect couple!!' 'I trust you because you are the best onmyouji in the family'
All these were Hokuto's words which were still crystal clear to him. Every word cannot be forgotten.
And also the blind bluffed yet kind and gentle words of the normal vetenarian.
'I love you Subaru-kun' These words had always been spoken openly asthough it was a joke but it felt so real.and then .. 'You mean nothing to me' 'The bet.'
Subaru turned away from the motion and continued walking ignoring the continuous stabbing in his heart. He dropped off his trench coat and walked towards the tree with endless tears forming in his eyes. Walking away he said to himself 'I thought you had already passed this feelings Subaru..why are you still crying? Its memory your sister is long gone.by that person...' Subaru knew very well that it was nothing more but an illusion, a memory from the start but yet the tears that fell out were beyond his control. It was the illusion of his sister was what he had yearned to see. 'Do I not love you anymore Hokuto?' he said to himself ' How can I not love you Hokuto.my other half. You are a part of me forever and ever..but now I have to say good bye for we will meet again soon...after I make my wish a reality, there is nothing else I desire from this cruel world. Now all I want is my one and only wish.Seishirou-san'
Soon in front of him the circumstances altered. It was a shattered piece of Subaru's memories being played like a television film right in front of his bare eyes. Watching the killing of his twin by the man that was special to him. Subaru stood there. He couldn't help but gaze at the moving images that made his heart cry. Seishirous smile when he pierced her and then Hokutos last and final words which he couldn't hear. But she was smiling.smiling.She died for his sake..Subaru then began to blame her death on himself again just like what he did many years back. 'Its my fault.i should have died instead.' he cried out. Subaru was in the verge of breaking down when the sakura tree began to rain.Its petals were its droplets to Subaru. The tree that claimed his sister's life. and then suddenly a petal fell on his wet palm. The smell of blood pulled him together.Crouching there for a while letting his tears die down, he forced his body to get up again. He was not going to be defeated by a dream..by an illusion.
Subaru walked towards the Sakura tree with his heart screaming in pain. He wanted to stay here forever in this dream, this illusion with his 'sister' but he couldn't.this was not reality. He did not intend to run away again. He had his wish to make happen and that he had already decided a long time ago.
