Part VII
There wasn't much you could do during a time like that. Either you could be locked up in a closet, try to fight the very large woman (?) off, scream bloody murder, just stand there and watch like a bastard, or be eaten. Which option would you choose? True, this was a random turn of events. And true, things really haven't made sense from chapter one, but isn't that what makes a story great? No...? Well, okay. But things have finally heated up and it looks like it could be any man's battle.
Whatever tiny thread held Kamui's mind to sanity soon went out for lunch because once he heard all the screams, he went into 'Protector of the World" mode, and kicked down the closet door. His heart raced as his fingers twitched. He wasn't about to let any of his friends be Angus-chow while he was around. He was their leader after all. And he already lost Kotori and basically lost Fuuma. Fuuma, who was pleased with Kamui's entrance while the others gawked and froze, strode over to the opposing star and draped a protective arm around his shoulders. This enraged the foul beast and made her forget her stomach for a while longer.
"Fuuma! Who be this?" Angus asked, clearly ticked off.
"Oh? You mean you and Kamui have never met?" This earned him an impatient stamp from Angus. Fuuma thought it best not to anger her. "I'm sorry, Angus. My apologies."
"This scrawny boy be your partner, mm-hmm?"
Sorata took advantage of this moment and scooted over to Arashi who was quite obviously more interested in the battle over food.
"I apologize again, Angus. Let me explain it again, only this time on your IQ level." Fuuma brought his hand and placed it on top of Kamui's confused head. "He belong to me." He used his other hand and pounded at his chest to emphasize his remark. "Me be his boyfriend. Does stupid understand?"
Angus had clearly understood and roared a mighty roar which frightened Fuuma and his guests. Maybe Fuuma wasn't too good at thinking things through?
Sorata jumped in front of Fuuma and Kamui and spread his arms out in a defensive stance.
"Monk, I wouldn't do that. You should never come between a raging boar and its meal." Fuuma chuckled at his own joke.
Kamui rolled his eyes.
Sorata looked over his shoulder at Kamui and winked. "You're badly injured. Leave this to Arashi and me. Just take Yuzuriha-chan and Inuki to safety."
Fuuma nodded in agreement as Kamui, who had no signs of cuts or bruises because his wrists healed, submitted and did as he was told. He ran over and knelt beside Yuzuriha's body. He lifted her up and cradled her to his chest. Inuki transformed into a sword and followed Kamui carefully. Kamui quickly walked to the front door and turned around to give one last look. Arashi stood beside Sorata with her sword prepped and ready to go while the monk manipulated his energy and let his hands collect flashes of electricity. Fuuma held his hand out, ready to send the creature to the next dimension. Kamui sighed and exited, leaving his loved ones behind.
Arashi charged and released her battle cry. She jumped into the air before Angus could make a swipe at her. She lifted her sword above her head and came down on Angus. A loud crack echoed throughout the room as a dust cloud covered the area. Arashi panted and looked down at her beloved sword, her sword that was now shattered to pieces.
"Way to go, Missy!" Sorata cheered, unaware of what appeared out of the cloud and loomed over his admirer.
Fuuma opened his mouth to warn the girl, but was cut off as an abnormally huge landlady body slammed on the shrine maiden. The girl screamed as she was nearly squished to death. The body consumed the unconscious Arashi by the layers and waves of fat that was Angus.
"Arashi! NOOOOOOOOOO!" Sorata surged himself at the fat thing and slammed his lightning fist into her stomach. He screamed as his hand was sucked in along with the rest of his charged body. His hand protruded through the stomach to reach out for something to hold on to. His hand was denied that and slowly sunk back inside the implosion.
Fuuma fell on his ass and crawled backwards until he bumped up into a wall. The mass of Angus slowly approached him. His only chance of survival was to blow her head off because the rest of her body acted as some sort of sucking rubber. He straightened out his arm and aimed for her head. When he was sure of the angle, he thrust a burst of energy from his palm.
The fat from Angus' stomach stretched out and blocked the blast in time. "Fuuma. Now you will belong to Angus forever!"
"NO! PLEASE! I'M TOO SEXY!" Fuuma covered his face as a shadow hung over him.
Hinoto hunched over and allowed her sobs to take over her body. She despaired and, for as long as she existed, wished for a better future. Her wish would not come true unfortunately. If only Kamui was ready. If only he was strong enough to overpower the evil in that room, then maybe the world would stand a fighting chance.
"Kamui! Please...if you can hear me..."Hinoto lifted her head up to show her faith in Kamui. "USE THE FORCE!"
One by one, the spiritual shields came crashing down. All except Tokyo Tower which stood tall and proud. It had not yet given up. It still had some fight left. The tower scanned its city and watched it slowly be destroyed. Buildings crumbled, roads cracked and broke apart flinging cars and people into the air. The sun was soon blocked out by the debris and dust that covered Tokyo.
The shaking of the ground brought Kamui to his knees. He had just dropped Yuzuriha off at the Clamp School's campus. The world was finally ending and there was nothing he could do about it. His biggest regret was not being able to go on a date with Fuuma. He would have treasured that moment and held that memory close to his heart.
"Fuuma...I'm so sorry I couldn't bring you back. I failed you, Kotori, and the rest of the world." He allowed a few trickles of tears to run down his face. Soon it became rivers and then oceans of tears. "FUUMA! WHY!? WHY DID IT HAVE TO END UP LIKE THIS!?" Kamui's hysterics halted when he heard the Princess' thoughts inside his mind.
"Kamui. I am using telepathy to communicate with you."
"Hinoto?" Kamui used the edge of his sleeve to wipe his tears away.
"I know things look bad right now, but you mustn't give up. The entire world is counting on you."
"Save it, Princess. The world is lost now. I failed."
"No Kamui. There is still time. You have not yet awakened as the true 'Kamui' but..."
"Exactly. Which is why we're all doomed. You saw that thing in your dreams, correct? There's no way I stand a chance."
"Kamui, you're the last Seal left. We're all counting on you-"
"No! I'd rather die from a toppling building than to be crushed by that mutant!"
"Kamui, she ate Fuuma."
"She what?" Kamui's jaw tightened.
"She. Ate. Your. Soon. To. Be. Lover!"
Kamui's body began to visibly tremble. He balled his fists so hard blood gushed out from his palms. "I'll kill her!"
"That's the spirit, Kamui!"
"I'm going to build a treadmill out of her skeleton!"
"Yes!"
"I'm going to donate all of her lard to monkeys in space!"
"Uh...uh huh."
"I'm going to take her love handles and feed them to her mother!"
She did her make-up.
"I'm going to-"
"KAMUI! PLEASE! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
"Oh...sorry. Well, I'm off!" And with that, Kamui was gone.
The way back to the apartment was a major task. Not a single building was standing. No landmark or street sign would be recognized again. Not unless Kamui fixed this. It wasn't easy to motivate Kamui when he wanted to stubbornly quit. When push came to shove...Kamui would give up. If it weren't for his caring friends Kamui may not be where he was this day of all days.
Kamui perked up when he smelled a familiar smell. It smelled like greasy tires. "Ah. That must be Angus. If anyone is to eat Fuuma, it'll be me! But where-"
He was knocked flat on his face by a powerful force. He left cheek rested only seconds on the cold pavement. He managed to push on his arms shakily and stand up.
"We meet again, Angus." He cradled his left arm with his right.
"You are Fuuma's boyfriend. You make Angus angry!"
"Hahaha. Really? Well, you've made me angry as well." Kamui smirked and cocked his head to the side. "I heard that you've eaten a few of my friends, including Fuuma. If you know what's good for you, you'd spit them back up."
"ARRRRRRG!" Angus stomped on Mother Earth's surface in total rage.
"Not the speaking type, eh? That's all right. Well...I guess you'll end up eating me as well?"
"YES! YOU LOOK TASTY!"
"Sure I do. But before you eat me...would you like some gum?" He dug his arm down into his back pocket and retrieved a pack of gum.
"Mmm! Yes. That looks good, mm-hmm!" Angus reached for said gum.
"Catch!" Kamui tossed the gum in the direction of her mouth and made it in. "Hole 'n one."
"Gum good! Gum...er...gum? Uh oh! Ow! Angus in pain! Angus hurt!"
"Aww. Did I forget to mention...it's sugar-free?"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Cracks suddenly appeared all over her body. Rays of light beamed forth from inside generating a time bomb of sorts. She became more and more bloated, getting bigger and bigger as the seconds passed. Soon, she exploded, which caused a spiritual shield to assemble and stretch far and wide over Tokyo. This renewed Tokyo and all of its inhabitants. People walked the clean streets as if nothing happened. The chaos that once was was now over. The Final Day had come and gone.
Yuzuriha awoke from a dream by the gentle licks of her childhood companion, Inuki. "Inuki!" She clung to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "We're all right. Kamui saved us all!" She looked out the window with the dog spirit by her side. "Oh! There were still two more girl scout cookie boxes left. Ah well!"
Arashi's eyes fluttered open and she gasped. "What?" She pushed herself up on her feet and ran over to Sorata who looked to be in critical condition judging by all the blood. "Sorata! Oh, no...Sorata!" She fell to her knees and took hold of Sorata's hand. "It's still warm..."
"Is that you, Missy?"
"Yes! Oh Sorata. Why?"
"I told you that you were the one...The one I'd die for. I'm glad I got to do just that..."
"Sorata!"
"Hehehehehe. Just kidding!"
"..." She pulled Sorata up by his shirt and royally kicked him square in the ass.
"Ow! That smarts! Well, I suppose I deserved that."
Kamui searched for Fuuma desperately. He had almost given up until he remembered the spot where they met last night. "Fuuma...please be here..."
"Kamui?"
"Fuuma!?" He spun around and without thinking, pounced Fuuma.
"Haha. You did it. You saved the world...for now." Fuuma ran his fingers through the boy's hair.
"Yes, I know. This wasn't THE Final Day...THE Final Day will be coming soon." He rubbed against the much sought for touch.
"Kamui?"
"Yes?"
"Can we...pretend like none of this ever happened? Can we edit this out of the manga?"
"Humph. And just when we were getting closer." He crossed his arms and pouted cutely.
"Well...we can leave certain stuff in."
Subaru pulled the blankets from the bed closer. "Seishirou-san..." He sighed happily.
"Yes, I know Subaru-kun. We should have done that years ago."
"Mmm...yes. I forgive you..."
"Psh. After a performance like that, you better."
"I love you, Seishirou-san."
"I love you, too, my Subaru-kun."
And so the world was saved for now. Oh...and you also missed the greatest sex scene in the world. Looks like Fuuma and Kamui edited too much. Sorry guys. Maybe there will be deleted scenes?
The End.
Yes...All of that came out of my fingers. This story...You know. If you're ever depressed about X, just read this...or ANY silly fanfic because it will certainly cheer you up. I'm sorry it took so long to put this up.
