Part III
"Your landlady?"
"Huh? What about her?"
"…You were just saying that she'd rip your balls off if she caught all of us here…"
"Kamui, what do you wish for?"
"Wha-!" Kamui fell from Fuuma and landed on Subaru. He quickly apologized to the whimpering onmyouji. He stood up and dusted himself, taking the time with his hair and the little button on the cuffs of his shirt. He also re-tied his shoes. His mother always warned him about the dangers of leaving shoes untied. One false move and it could be the death of you one day-
"Aaaa-HEM!"
Oh…Sorry Fuuma. Anyway, Kamui didn't know how to answer Fuuma's previous question.
"What do I wish for…?"
"Yes, what is it? As Kamui of the Dragons of Earth it's only fitting that I make these wishes come true. Before you are all destroyed, that is."
'Gee, THANKS Fuuma. That makes me feel wonderful. Let's see, what do I want? I want to protect Kotori and Fuuma...but Kotori is already dead and Fuuma might call me a dork or something. Wait, what is this? Grade school!' Kamui continued to battle with himself but finally came up with a resolution.
"Fuuma, more than anything…I would like to protect you."
"DORK! Gah, what are you? A toddler!"
'Damn it, no go. Oh! I know!' Kamui stared up at Fuuma and grasped his hand. He massaged it gently and then held it firm and still. "Fuuma…what I really wish for…Is the new Angelz Jamaican Adventure set."
"…"
"…"
"Well, time to go shoppin'." He grabbed his wallet from the kitchen counter and picked up his car keys from the key ring. He twirled them on his index finger, opened the front door and paused to say something before he left. "Kamui, you and Subaru need to find a suitable hiding place and remain there once I return. I'm using the store as a scapegoat and I don't want the mean landlady to hurt you."
"All right, Fuuma." Kamui sighed and leaned against the door. He slid till he bumped his rear on the soft carpet. He could hear Subaru snoring in the other room.
How strange everything turned out to be. Here he was in Fuuma's apartment with a slumbering Sumeragi, drunk for reasons he was sure to find out. And what was the Kamui of the Dragons of Earth doing? Was he lurking around on the building tops? Was he killing innocent people? Was he fathering Nataku? Nooo. Instead, he was out buying a girls' toy for Kamui, the enemy. Not only that, but he warned them both about the horrid landlady. Did this mean that Fuuma still cared for him?
"Nnhhh, the tree."
"Huh!"
"…Go away. I'm…not my sister."
"Uhh…"
"Obaa-chan…please don't touch me there!"
"Subaru?" Kamui gently nudged him, which caused him to stir. He brushed and ran his fingers through Subaru's hair. "He really does say the cutest things while he's asleep."
"Yes he does, doesn't he?"
Kamui jumped at the intruding voice and turned around. If there were to be any intruders, he expected it to be the owner. But instead, standing right before him was the Sakurazukamori.
"You're…!"
"Yes, I am the Sakurazukamori."
"You're dead!"
"…No I'm not."
"Yes you are, I saw-"
"No."
"Oh…"
"Those weren't your lines. Great, thanks Kamui. Now we have to start over!" Seishirou left through the front door and waited for his cue. You could hear Sorata's attempts at flushing a toilet backstage. Kamui built up the courage to redo.
"He really does say the cutest things while he's asleep."
"Yes he does, doesn't he?"
Kamui jumped at the intruding voice and turned around. If there were to be any intruders, he expected it to be the owner. But instead, standing right before him was the Sakurazukamori. (Nice job, Kamui!)
"You're…!"
Seishirou placed his left hand over the frame of his sunglasses and slowly pulled them off. His eyes were closed, but once he opened them he revealed a set of mismatched eyes. He also wore a friendly smile, which to those with the naked eye, would believe that smile was kind, but that smile really read danger.
"You must be Kamui. I've heard so much about you."
"But you are just as famous, Sakurazukamori-san." Kamui carefully stepped to the side, which gave the assassin the chance to see his prey, Subaru. "How strange for you to be here."
"Is it so strange? I find it much stranger that you Kamui, the leader of the Dragons of Heaven, should be here."
"Yeah…there's a funny story to go along with that…"
Seishirou laughed and dropped his glasses inside his jacket's front pocket. "Kamui, that was cute. But I would actually like to know why my Subaru-kun is lying on the floor."
"…Like I said, there's a funny story to go along with that."
"I see. Well, this is fucking awkward."
"I know."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Fuuma's a great guy."
"Ehh, yeah. You keep telling yourself that."
"So…why are you here?"
"That's a pretty direct question."
"Well, yeah."
"I'm here because I was actually waiting outside. You see, every ten minutes I have to be aware of what Subaru-kun is doing. So I follow him around."
Kamui couldn't believe his ears. He realized that he had hardly any background on Subaru's relationship with Seishirou, but this was an amazing thing to hear. "You stalk him?"
"You could say that. Oh and don't worry, I don't do what I do so I can kill my Subaru-kun. I just need him to do me a favor."
TBC
