The Sakurazukamori laid the Sumeragi on his bed and started to treat his open fresh wounds. Seishirou sat on the bed next to the lying Sumeragi. Next to him was an old first aid kit. A layer of dust had accumulated on it since he had not used it for over 6 years. He was a 'vet' after all. After blowing the layer of dust into the atmosphere and revealing its contents, Seishirou turned towards the onmyouji. Seishirou couldn't help thinking about how peaceful and of course beautiful he looked even though he was covered in blood and in pain. All Seishirou could do was let the smile leak through his lips. He brought his fingers down towards the shallow slash wounds on the Sumeragi's face and smeared the blood away from the cut. Unconsciously his finger drifted towards the onmyouji's now scarlet lips. He had his palm now softly leaning on the onmyouji's face and his thumb grazing the onmyouji's soft moist lips slowly left and right. In that moment, he pulled back shocked. He stood there wondering what he was doing just the moment ago. Letting out a sigh he sat back down and started treating all his wounds from his cheeks to his neck and to his chest. Seishirou had Subaru wear his own shirt because Subaru's shirt was all bloody and tattered. The shirt was obviously too big for Subaru. It exposed most of his slender neck and his left shoulder.

Seishirou stayed next to the Sumeragi for a few minutes before deciding to go back and hunt down his nights prey. But this time, he had only one specific prey in mind. 'Sejiko Sakurazuka' .After taking a last glance at the unconscious man he left the house and wandered alone in the midst of darkness searching. All Seishirou could hear that night was his own footsteps echoing the night of Tokyo. It was then the answer to his uneasiness struck him. Why did he feel uneasy while he was tending to Subaru-kun back in his house, why had he felt that they were not the only two there. Seishirou dashed straight back to his house to reassure his facts. His Sakurazukamori intuition had not failed him again. There Subaru was now toiling recklessly on the bed with blood seeping through the bandages and the shirt onto the bed, his hair wet with sweat and the sound of his painful breathing was ringing in Seishirou's ears. It was clear now why Subaru had not awakened yet and that his injuries never stopped bleeding in fact they aggravated. He knew Subaru was not weak and that he should have recovered from his injuries a long time ago. 'That spell Sejiko had cast on Subaru before the fight. That must be the cause of Subaru not waking up. But there is something more to this that I do not know..something terrible..' Thought Seishirou to himself has he pondered over the onmyouji. 'I wonder what' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- 'Whats the matter Subaru-kun??' said Sejiko with his head tilted to one side and revealing a cruel yet extremely satisfied face. Subaru was on the ground holding his stomach trying to ease the pain of the attack Sejiko had given to him by jamming his knee into it. Subaru looked up facing Sejiko with blood slowly flowing down from his head to his chin and then dripping on the black ground. Barely being able to move he struggled up. One hand was across his stomach the other was filled with fudas. The image in front of him was getting blurrier by the minute keeping his focus on Sejiko was hard enough for his body now. 'So this is your mind, and heart' Sejiko said looking around. He was reading Subaru's past like a book he knew what Subaru was thinking. He knew every move that the Sumeragi was going to pull because the surroundings would express them. This was Subaru's biggest disadvantage. Sejiko didn't have to attack him physically to hurt him. All he had to do was attack the surroundings and he would suffer the consequences. Subaru was not even able to touch him once. Such foul play was never experienced by the Sumeragi before how to counter it remained an unsolved mystery. The spell that Sejiko placed on him earlier before the battle with Seishirou locked him once again in his heart, his unstable mind.

'The surroundings are filled with that that.man! Is he that special to you? It's strange how you want to kill the man who means this much to you. Oh yes.I nearly forgot! He killed your lovely twin sister!' he said mockingly. 'But then your wish.is it really to kill him? Sejiko was smiling devilishly now. 'your heart and mind says otherwise. It is too complicated for me to read but then..again what really is your wish? Subaru-kun? Subaru was now physically hurt as well was mentally. Sejiko was reading to him the questions that Subaru had never wanted to hear yet to answer or even to face.

Sejiko grabbed him by the collar and slammed him onto a black wall. Subaru stood up leaning against a black wall. When Subaru turned around, the black wall had turned into the huge Sakura tree and on the sakura tree was a body of a dead girl. When he looked closer, the girl resembled his own 16 year old face. 'Ho..kuto-cha..n' He lips said as his eyes formed a layer of water over them. Before he noticed, he felt a strong hand clamp around his neck slowly tightening. Very slowly stopping the air from its destination. 'To kill him' Sejiko said. 'I'm going to need to do this one thing' Subaru's hand reached out to try peal off the fingers from his neck but then the hands gave a last final jerk. Subaru's eyes widened for an instant. After that it closed slowly bringing down his two arms as well. "That's more like it" Sejiko said. He reached the pocket of his trench coat and pulled out what looked to be an ancient fu-da. It was a plain soft, almost brownish black paper. Slitting his finger, Sejiko let the drop of his blood drip onto the middle of the empty fu-da. That instant, his blood shot through the fu-da writing cursed characters as it spread. When the blood had stopped, the fu-da was complete with its ancient curses and drowning aura. Holding Subaru with one hand and the fu-da in the other, Sejiko started chanting, as he did, the fu-da slowly burned in black flames. This continued till the very last red ash of the fu-da fell on the ground. Sejiko released the onmyouji who fell onto the ground. The curse was complete. 'Seishirou playing with you toy.is really fun! I wonder how you are going to deal with this now..hahahahahaha..*evil lafter*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------

Subaru had suddenly stopped trashing on the bed. Sweat and blood smeared the white bed sheet. The room now was poured with silence. Deadly unknown silence. Subaru now laid quietly on the bed with the bandages loose and out of place. Seishirou took Subaru's hand to check his pulse rate when he noticed something. The inverted pentagons on Subaru's hands were gone. His symbol of ownership of his prey was gone. Vanished. Now on Subaru's hands was the symbol of the devil himself. (Sejiko). 'This was rather unexpected' thought Seishirou. 'It was nearly impossible for anyone to remove those marks. Unless.....'

Seishirou gently shook Subaru now expecting anything. His body was ready to leap away at any second. Seishirou watched as Subaru's eyes slowly lifted revealing soft jade coloured eyes that peered deeply into Seishirous eyes. 'Subaru-kun you truly are filled with surprises' said Seishirou relieved that nothing had happened. When suddenly.

'Who are you?'

That three words snatched the focus of the Sakurazukamori as he turned disbelieving at the words that Subaru had just said. 'Subaru-kun' he said. Subaru sat up and started looking around curiously. There he saw a book with the name Sakurazuka Seishirou. 'Saku..razuka Sei.shi..rou..' Subaru chocked out. Seishirou looked back at the onmyouji. 'That's correct' he answered. Subaru's eyes looked back into Seishirou's eyes. Instead of soft jade coloured eyes his eyes were icy emerald orbs. The orbs glared straight into Seishirous eyes filled with anger and hatred. Seishirou leaped a safe distance away. Subaru staggered up eyes still fixed directly onto Seishirou.

'Seishirou Sakurazuka..i HATE you..i will KILL you' said Subaru in a wicked tone never heard from him before. Seishirou could see a devilish grin of satisfaction emerging from Subarus face.

Suddenly the window shattered and standing on the balcony was Sejiko himself.

'Oh sorry Seishirou I seemed to have over played with you toy or shall I say my toy now.' Sejiko said grinning.

'What did you do to him? Sejiko!' Asked the Sakurazuka.

'Oh nothing much I just wanted to see how Subaru would look with his kindness locked away and his anger and hatred increased a considerable amount. I increased it, well as I should say..just the way I liked it. The best thing about it is that he really is mine. All mine. What are you going to do? I have taken him away from you. Just like you did mother!' (to mother)

We are going to take off now! But trust me when I say we will meet again soon!'

After those words both Subaru and Seishirou vanished from sight leaving the Sakurazukamori all alone in the shattered room to think about those icy emerald eyes that pierced deeply into his own amber eyes.

'Things have just gotten very interesting now' Seishirou said to himself as he lit his cigarette, turned around and walked away.
