Chapter 2
"Why the hell are we here while Subaru is fighting with a Dragon of Earth?!" yelled Kamui.
"Maybe he has just spread Kekkai to be safe from unpleasant surprises?" replied Sorata in question.
Kamui snickered.
"Yeah, or just to watch how pretty it looks around the Rainbow Bridge! Sorata, he's in trouble!" he insisted.
"But Hinoto told us that enemy would appear here, in the Yasukuni Temple," sighed Yuzuriha.
The image of Dreamgazer's strange smirk ran through Kamui's mind; He was sure he couldn't relay unconditionally on her words and predicts anymore.
"So I'm going alone, then. I won't anything happen to Subaru."
Another harm because of him.
Another shed tears over something he couldn't restore. No.
Suddenly, he bended down as he sensed the violent crack of the Kekkai. Then another, and soon all barrier began to vanish. Clear fear made Kamui unable to move for a moment.
With a loud cry 'Subaru!' on his mouth, he jumped on the nearest roof and then headed madly to the direction of Rainbow Bridge.
Knowing that they're doing an irresponsible thing, they ignored Princess Hinoto's dream and followed Kamui.
Besides, Subaru was probably seriously hurt and medical help would be advisable. Everyone worried about Subaru being harmed again... he suffered too much indeed.
They rushed from a roof to the next one and soon the stared at the Rainbow Bridge- rather dilapidated.
Kamui's eyes went wider as he saw someone lying among pieces of half- destroyed bridge.
That someone was covered with blood and dust and wasn't moving. That someone had a white coat on him.
"Su..Su..." the teenager ran to the lying figure only to see Sumeragi's cold face, pale as a sheet. Trembling, he hold out a hand to feel his pulse but he couldn't. He tried to do it again, but there was no pulse at all.
Hehe.
No pulse.
Kamui burst out with hysterical laughter which changed into sobbing and loud weeping. He cuddled Subaru's body and that exactly was presented to all Seven Seals when thy finally got there.
"Subaru-san's..." whispered Yuzuriha.
Here. A little present. 'Cause being alone must be sad, right?
Thank you...
"N-no..." she said and slowly approached two people lying on the ground. She kept on repeating "No..." as if it was some magical chant, an only anchor. She quietly fell on her knees and gazed at Subaru.
Thank you.
Arashi drooped her head so Sorata couldn't see her face. But he noticed she was swallowing her tears.
Yuzuriha hid her face in her hands and breathed hard; One look back on Subaru was sufficient to fill her eyes with bitter tears.
Sorata stood there, watching them in silence. Even Arashi now was crying openly but the young monk found no tears. That all just seemed not to reach him fully yet.
"Subaru... you couldn't leave me, right? Just wake up, ok?" mumbled Kamui embracing the dead and muffling his face in Subaru's arm.
"Kamui... stand up." Demanded Arisugawa quietly.
"No. I want Subaru to get up."
"He's dead, Kamui."
"No, he isn't!"
"He left. He won't open his eyes."
"SHUT UP! SUBARU HASN'T DIED!"
Suddenly, the Rainbow Bridge started to shake and almost fall down. It was obvious that the cause of it was the Sakurazukamori who they saw on the pile of rubble. Kamui immediately stood up and jumped to him.
"For what you did... I'll kill you no matter what!" he yelled.
He was surprised by the blank expression at the man's face. There was no teasing smirk or the cruel one.
"I didn't kill Subaru," he said simply and blew some ofuda to destroy the other side of the bridge.
"Sure I believe you, bastard."
"You should."
Seven Seals gathered around Kamui; Sorata was carrying Subaru.
"It was your so-called friend who did it."
Kamui gasped and jumped on him, rising his hand to strike Seishirou.
The man held back his hand and hissed right to his ear but the others heard that as well.
"Fuuma killed him. Your dear colleague pierced Subaru's heart, and for that, he needs to die."
He let go of the boy's arm and left him with eyes wide of shock.
"Do you stay or leave? I'm going to destroy that bridge."
He sent a great blast of power and pieces of concrete were almost flying in the air. Sorata, by impulse placed Subaru on the ground and grabbed Kamui instead, then he yelled to Yuzuriha and Arashi that they must run away.
"But what with Subaru's body? We can't..."
"Yuzuriha, come." He pulled her hand and forced to jump off the ruined place. "Arashi, follow me, quickly."
Shirou took a last glance at Subaru surrounded by fallen stones and dust and closed his eyes.
"My God, what happened?!" shouted Karen as they entered Hinoto's 'room'. Seiichirou ran to Sorata and helped him with Kamui.
"I haven't dreamt about it, tell me what happened to you?" asked Princess Hinoto nervously.
"The thirteenth head of the Sumeragi clan has died," communicated Arashi, avoiding the eyes contact with Karen.
Kasumi gasped and whispered, "Oh,no..."
"Who... caused that?" asked Aoki carefully.
"Kamui of the Dragons of Earth," answered Sorata, finally trusting Sakurazuka's words.
There fell a deafening silence.
"So the one of Seals has been ripped away once for all," mused Kanoe.
"I guess I made Sakurazuka a little angry," Kamui grinned and patted Nataku's head which was resting on his knees.
"Oh, he had an affair with that boy and he probably will be annoyed that someone else has caught his toy first," laughed Kanoe maliciously. "But not for long, he hasn't got any feelings at all. Practical thing, to be the Sakurazukamori."
"But I wonder... why did he do that..?" she added in her thoughts.
Seishirou closed the door of his apartment. Then he took off his coat and sat on the red sofa.
What was he to do now?
Killing was fun but it was always the same. People were identical, their despair was so normal and watching the same all over again wasn't a very lurking idea.
He couldn't think of his next meeting with Subaru.
Because there was no Subaru anymore.
Seishirou-san!
He couldn't get out of his head thousands of images of Sumeragi. Subaru smiling, crying, blushing, merely looking, being surprised, sad or happy. Innocent sixteen-year-old or grown up, it didn't matter.
Subaru was always Subaru and nothing could erase that.
He didn't bother with naming those emotions. Whatever it was, in his case it meant change. Change that had started ten years ago when he met Sumeragi for the second time. He tried to escape from it, destroy the heart of the one who caused that storm inside Seishirou. But he failed.
That heart persisted and still loved him.
More, Subaru's heart was able to forgive him.
For that all, Kamui had to die. For that he took away the most special person in Seishirou's life.
"I don't know what to do with Fuuma," stammered Kamui.
Sorata wasn't sure if he was speaking to him...besides, he didn't have a clue what to say.
"Mm?" he said encouragingly.
"He killed Subaru and I can't forgive him for that. I don't know if I even want to. I've hated Sakurazukamori because he killed Subaru's innocence and his heart, but Fuuma killed Subaru literally. Which one should I blame more? Which one should I hate?"
Outside, the heavy raindrops started to fall.
TBC.
sobs Again I'm mad at myself for writing this. I even like this fic, but I hate it being so sad. I love angst but when it comes with a happy ending.
And here? There aren't any happy endings left. Whatever will happen, everyone is going to make hard decisions and accept the unacceptable. sobs again I'm hopeless.
