Entrapment
#7
*Kamui POV
I felt myself being carried by those familiar arms. My eyes were still too tired to open; my legs still weak to stand. But I knew I was recovering. Fuuma carried me now. Fuuma whispered in my ear, "Sorry", I know he did. I heard it. He was back to normal. Or so I thought.
***
*Fuuma POV
I fled from the one I longed to be with for the rest of my life. I did that. I didn't know why. I was confused! Sakura was dead.Kamui was my lover? How? When did all this happen? All these questions were being asked over and over again in my head. My brain ached. I landed in someone's yard, with all those dried leaves and trimmed grass. It was autumn. Someone screamed from inside the house. A mortal saw me land, but it was too dark to see my face clearly. I leaped off again.
I flew by a few apartments, and I seemed to recognize one of them. I lived here once.I live here once with Kamui! I remember, this was the place I told the only one person about my past, this was the place I poured out my misery in front of the one I loved. The one I truly loved. Kamui. I remember everything now. Seishirou was in that building! That strange abandoned one that we met Sakura. I went back to that building. "Seishirou." I heard myself whisper. In my arms I heard Kamui groan. I kissed his forehead with out looking at him. I only concentrated on getting back to that structure of metal and cement.
It had started raining. Why does the weather always change? I didn't want to know. All I thought about was Seishirou. I loved him, yet I hated him. Then why did I feel such concern for him? I couldn't put Kamui down, Sakura might find him. Kamui opened his eyes. He looked up and smiled at me. That beautiful smile, that familiar smile. The rain poured down on the city, where did Sakura go? It didn't matter for the moment. I had to go to Seishirou. I reached the abandoned building, and I put Kamui down. He stumbled a bit before he was able to stand again. Seishirou was inside the structure.deep inside.

"Fuuma is close. He's returned with Kamui," Seishirou smiled. Subaru watched him. The rain seemed like needles tapping upon the tin roof. Pitter- patter, pitter-patter. "Is he himself again?" Subaru asked, walking over to his maker and wrapping his arms around him. Seishirou run a hand through his dark hair, and he sighed. "I don't know, we'll just have to wait until he finds us."
***
"Seishirou!" I yelled, hearing my voice echo throughout the abandoned lobby. Footsteps. Sakura? Not now, please, not now. Kamui panicked. He grabbed my left arm and pulled me into a dark corner. I stared at the frightened expression on his face. Frightened for me? Now, wasn't that sweet? I held him, that warm body that I had once almost dominated. "Fuuma?" Seishirou's voice. I recognized it immediately. No. It wasn't. I wasn't sure. It could be Sakura, it could be Seishirou. I remembered when she changed into that boy.Subaru. I remember that man now. Subaru. The one I feasted upon. The one Seishirou saved.
I didn't make a sound. Kamui didn't either. "Fuuma? I know you're here, love." The voice sounded so familiar, so much like Seishirou. "Kamui?" Subaru's voice. She changed her voice. She knew I wasn't sure. She knew I was here. "Fuuma!" Both voices now. I was still unconvinced. Kamui stared at me, his amethyst eyes worried and scared. I held him closer to me. I gestured 'silence' and he nodded. I peeped out into the light. Seishirou was standing there.and so was Subaru. Could she have split herself in two? Yes, most likely.
Then they disappeared. Kamui moaned. I stared at him. He looked up at me. He smiled. His eyes were no longer scared. There was something different. "If I can't have you, baby. No one will." I backed away, into the light. I knew what was happening. Sakura was inside Kamui. Sakura was in his body! Had to get away.
I ran. I ran deep into the building. I looked back while running, Kamui didn't follow. I then rammed into someone. I looked up. Seishirou was there, Subaru behind him, tilting his head. "I see you've found us, love." Seishirou whispered, his golden eyes shining. Subaru cocked his head to the side, "Where's Kamui?" he asked, his green eyes full of feeling and concern.
"He's possessed." I whispered. Surely they could help. "Just like you were." Seishirou whispered, putting his arm around me. He guided me to sit down on the worn staircase. "By Sakura." I added. Silence. It was unnerving. My heart ached. Why? Why was she back? She was dead! How? Seishirou patted my shoulder roughly. I clutched my head as he kissed my cheek. I didn't like this, no, I hated this! 'Yes, I would trade even you to get her back.' I hated myself for it. She should have been let go of when she perished. But I kept her here. I kept her here with that dreadful longing for her, but now I regret. My mother had always said I was impossible. Am I really?
Footsteps. I looked up. Seishirou snapped to attention. Subaru looked in the direction the noise came from. Slow footsteps. Then groaning. Kamui was groaning. "Help.me." A strangled plea. I wanted to say his name, but Seishirou covered my mouth. I looked up into his face, which clearly said, 'No noise. We're not sure if it really is Kamui.' Kamui cried. I recognized the sobs emitting from my lover. Seishirou held me firmly, Subaru leaned against me. "Stop it." Kamui's tormented voice again. The stairs were the only dark place, the only place to hide. I could see Kamui clutching his head in the light, his eyes filled with tears, his cheeks streaked with blood. His cries were relentless. "No.! Stop it!" He screamed, dropping to his knees in the middle of the large area.
***
*Kamui POV
No.! Stop it! I didn't know if I screamed it aloud. I was scared. Some one was trying to take over my body.! It hurt.! It felt as if I was being pushed, being ripped out of my soul. It hurt. It was whispering in my ear, 'Fuuma never loved you, he merely kept you as a pet.' But that couldn't be true. The pain hurt my abdomen. The pain hurt my heart. The pain hurt my mind! Fuuma loves me, I know he does! If not, why did he turn me into what I am?
What am I? What is he? A Vampire? Not that simple.Soul mates. That's it. "You're not soul mates, Kamui." Sakura's voice was in my head again. "Have you heard of the story, that when God made the world, everybody.with their partners.were one.? But God saw that there was no meaning in this, and so he split them up." No stop! I don't want to hear anymore! " I'm his other half, Kamui. You're just a substitution for me." I screamed. I didn't hold back. I screamed as loud as my lungs could scream. I felt arms around me suddenly, warm arms. "Fuuma." I heard myself whisper. I felt him embrace me, then sudden darkness.
***
*Seishirou POV
Was he crazy? I rushed forward to hold him back, but he broke free. He made his way to Kamui. I watched as he embraced the boy, kissing his cheek, whispering god knows what into his ear. The boy was losing. I knew he was. I could feel Sakura's presence in him already, and it was getting stronger. Fuuma held him still, running a pale hand through the boy's black hair. I heard the boy choke, I heard him gasp. He was in pain. Sakura. What brought her back? She didn't deserve the name 'Sakura'. No.never should she be called Sakura.
Subaru stood behind me; I could feel his fear building. He held on to my arm.
***
*Fuuma POV
Maybe.just maybe I could let her go. I held Kamui, no, I crushed him to me, in any way he wouldn't be injured. I prayed softly, silently that she would leave me alone. I felt no love for her anymore. All I love and treasure now are three living beings: Kamui, Seishirou and Subaru. Yes.even Subaru.
Kamui screamed. He clutched his head and screamed. The ground seemed to shake as pieces of debris rose into the air, floating around us. "Why?" I whispered, holding on to Kamui still. His scream hurt my ears, but what else could it do? The small pieces of rubble that rose soon fell as fast. Kamui stopped screaming. He had passed out again. I lifted his chin and kissed him. I looked to Seishirou. Seishirou frowned. He didn't like me disobeying him. He never did.
I then noticed something dark behind him. It soon took form. Two arms were reaching for Seishirou's neck! Subaru didn't noticed it, but he soon noted the direction in which I was staring, and he quickly pushed Seishirou away. Both of them escaped the clutches of those arms.
Seishirou stared at Subaru, then at the space that he occupied just now. The dark object took form of Sakura! "What?" Subaru started chanting all of a sudden. Kamui was still unconscious. The figure of Sakura started to clutch its head, throwing its head up and opening its mouth to scream. No sound came out. She seemed to be in so much pain and she screamed mutely, and she finally collapsed on the floor, and started to evaporate. "Disappear!" Subaru whispered, and he stood up, glanced at the figure before closing his eyes again.
***
*Subaru POV
This was a difficult spirit. It was anchored on Earth by Fuuma longing for it, and by Kamui's hate. I continued chanting, trying to undo the sense to fulfill the longing and disperse the hate in this spirit.
But I couldn't. I knew I couldn't. She was already trapped in this world.
