A/N: Okay, I'm back on track now and I should be updating pretty much every week or so. I really should work on my other fic, so I guess I'll be alternating between each one, so that's my current schedule. uh. Now what should I say??? Anyway, I'll stop talking and get on with it before I take up a whole page talking about random things.-_-;;; Oh and also, this chapter is also from Subaru's POV although in chapter 1, I put in the preview 3rd person POV.

Disclaimer: I can wish can't I?!?! CLAMP owns X and its characters. but I don't.

Part 2: An offer from the Devil

I had done nothing for weeks, I just sat, stared and when I got hungry enough, got up and actually took a few bites of something. Today was about the same as any other day , the endless routine of just sitting and staring at the window.

Strange thing was, I found myself getting up and walking over to change. I found myself in a black turtleneck, black trench coat, pants and boots. I opened the door and went outside for the first time in a while.

Walking around Tokyo, I saw much of the damage done while I had been away. Back then, I might have actually cared, but now. it didn't matter to me. Nothing did. I wonder, am I starting to see things like Seishirou did? Like everything to me was nothing but and object?

I shook that thought from my mind. I didn't want to think about it. It was too painful to recall, to painful to see those last moments in my mind over and over again.

I tensed suddenly and I noticed someone behind me. It was the Kamui of the Dragons of Earth. I wonder what he wanted with me, as he should know now that I had nothing to protect, I could no longer put up a kekkai. For a second, I thought about Kamui and the others. But most likely, he came just to finish me off.

I turned around and faced him. My voice sounded hoarse after not using it for some time.

"What. do you want?"

He smirked suddenly and I found myself seeing Seishirou again. I closed my eyes, then opened them again as I waited for his answer.

" You wish. it can't be granted you know."

I said nothing as I acknowledge him with my expressionless eyes. I knew that quite well, that my wish couldn't come true.

He continued," But. since that is your fondest wish, I can give you one more chance to fulfill it.

I felt myself slowing drawing what he had just said in. Was that true? That I could get one more chance? I stared at him and choked out,

"How?"

He smirked again, jumped and sat down on the ledge above me, and I followed suit, landing on a ledge in front him.

I felt the wind brush my hair across my cheek and I asked again.

"How?"

"Impatient, are we?" He said. " I can turn back time. to right before you meet him at Nakano. You have all that time to try and change the outcome of your fight at Rainbow Bridge. But, by doing so, you are most likely to meet Kamui and the others later than you did."

I nodded slightly. There had to be a catch to this though, the last meeting I had with the Kamui of the Dragons of Earth, I walked away with one less eye.

" You will not act out your duties as a Dragon of Heaven during that time, but you shall meet me again to save Kamui at Ikebukuro. Also. you will not remember anything after Seishirou left you 9 years ago. Except for the fact that you are a Dragon of Heaven ." he grinned clearly enjoying what was to come.

"So. you mean I will still act like my 16 year old self."

It was more of a question than a statement. The Dark Kamui smiled and said,

"Yes."

"But why offer me this second chance?" I asked. It wasn't like him to do this kind of thing.

He only smiled at me mysteriously and said," Because that is your fondest wish, and just as I will grant the Earth's fondest wish, I shall grant yours."

He jumped down from where he was sitting and looked up at me.

" Our little offer starts when you wake up tomorrow, Subaru-kun. we shall see the outcome soon enough." And in a flash, he disappeared.

Something inside me told me that he knew what would happen. But now, I didn't care. All I though about on my way back was the offer he made me. And somehow, I was going to make that wish of mine come true. But, how was I to do that if when I woke up tomorrow, I wouldn't remember what my wish was? I didn't know how to deal with that.

I stopped thinking about the Dark Kamui's words and sat down. They would haunt me like Seishirou's did ,if I continued to think about it. Slowly, I settled down in my chair, my heart more comforted than it had been in months. Staring out the window , I began doing my daily routine of watching the world outside slowly come tumbling down around me.

To be continued.

A/N: Maybe this chapter is a little short. I'm not too sure uh. okay, back to working o Rayearth after this. Anyway, let me know what you think and criticism and opinions appreciated. Thanks.

Preview of the Next Chapter.

Subaru woke up to a hazy sight. everything hurt all over. He took a quick look at his surroundings and pushed the dark sheets off his body. He was covered with bandages. The door opened and his eyews widened slightly as he saw the figure.

"Sei- Seishirou-san?" he gasped.

That's it for now! Ja!
