Shidesu! Out!


Chapter 2: Dying light

'Biiiiiiig Brother!' that cheerful voice called him, looking back he saw a pair of pigtails just before he was tackled and in that same way he spined with the blonde just with barely energy to no fall from her hug, then she nuzzled her face in his chest.

'E-Elise! Pl-Please stop it!' Kamui said trying to shake off the girl, but she didn't wanted to let him go, instead her hold tightened and shook her head.

'No way! It´s been a really loooooooooong time since I gave you a hug like this!' she started to giggle, even if they were in front of the troops she never held back anything, Kamui just sighed and stroke her head, he couldn't blame her, after all the time he spent training and checking the army he had barely enough time for himself, less with her, regardless of the situation he would humor her by the time being, after all, after that day it would take a lot of time until they could rest, King Garon commands were never ceasing and he always demanded that he obeyed his word, perhaps Iago could say that he was late on his task, but he didn't believed that Garon would care that they spent a little of their time to bond, in the end he wanted result and didn't cared how or what they were doing in their free time.

He woke up, his vision was blurry but strangely he felt his muscles sore, still he could feel the warm of the chimney, perhaps he was sick? He felt dizzy, his head was spinning and he had cold sweats running down his back, blinking he could see what the floor was, he slept on his stomach again? There was that noise in his ears, that annoying screech inside of his head, then he heard some voices around him, they were….talking? it was hard to say, with that sound and the cold pain on his back, he could barely think, he tried to stood but without energy he just clumsily moved "He´s waking up" someone said as he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Wh-What? Wh-who…..wh-where…" Kamui tried to talk, but even his words were lost in that moment, he couldn't make a coherent phrase.

"Please milord, stay still" Finally, he recognized the voice, it was Kaze who was talking, he chuckled still feeling the pain in his chest, just exactly what did he did the day before? He tried to look up but failed feeling a sharp pain in his neck "Please, don't move it will be over in a few minutes….." 'Over? What he mean?' Kamui thought, blinking a couple of times his vision finally came back, unlike he expected, he wasn't in his room, instead he was over he could guess was a stone table, trying to stand up he felt how his wrists were retained, looking at his sides he saw how each arm was chained with heavy shackles, then again that shivering feeling through his pain returned, the last days flashed through his eyes, what happened in the dungeon, the time he was being transported and finally, the figure of his dear sister who was struggling and waiting for him, with that sudden realization, he managed to look up to lock eyes with the ninja.

"Milord, i´m glad t-"

"WHY KAZE?! WHY?!" He shouted trying to find enough force to break free but it was useless, Kaze immediately pushed him down from his shoulders maintaining him in position.

"M-Milord! Please calm down, yo-"

"WHY?! WHY YOU BETRAYED ME?! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!" Kamui spat still trying to break the shackles, Kaze could felt the bitterness, rage in his voice and his crimson eyes were filled with despair as he tried to understand the situation.

"I just did what i believed was the best for you milord" Kaze said with frown closing his eyes "After all, the path ahead of you was filled with pain and suffering, not only for you, but everyone else"

"AND THIS IS THE BEST FOR ME?!" He yelled again "A PRISONER IN A FOREING LAND, AWAY OF THE OTHERS WAS A BETTER IDEA?! I JU-ARRRG!" He felt again that pain on his back, looking down trying to concentrate his mind, there was just something wrong in that place "…..just…what the hell happened…."

"That the gods finally answered our pleads" Another voice replied, that voice was different in so many ways, it had an unknown cheerfulness in its tone, it was strange since he recognized the voice, looking up again, he found the source.

"T-Takumi? Wh-what´re you doing here?"

"Just admiring the view" The archer smiled with a sadistic curl "I want to enjoy this before Ryoma spoil the fun" Takumi leaned to his level "After all, it will be a shame that i couldn't enjoy this moment to its fullest"

"Wh-What ar-"

"She´s dead Kamui" his heart stopped in that instant, it felt like his whole world halted in that moment, an indescribable feeling of sorrow appeared in his chest, it felt like there was a lance piercing his stomach, there was that unfamiliar but still lingering feeling that he knew could happen in the war, his breath was missing as he was panicking, he felt sick with that idea, thinking in her figure jumping and running in the fields with a radiant smile, to think that the only place where he could see her again was in his memories, that he couldn't felt her touch again, her sweet voice and feel her hair through his fingers, he couldn't believed it, he didn't want to believe it

"…..you´re wrong…." He gritted his teeth looking at the archer "YOU´RE WRONG! KAZE SAID THAT HE DID THE BEST FOR ME! FOR MY GROUP, HE CO-"

"The deal was only you Kamui" Takumi said looking for something inside his yukata "Its curious how the world moves on no matter what happens to you, the villagers who are murdered by those Nohrian scum, or…." He took a little flask with a green liquid "…or just a dumb girl who believes that she can change the world, her and a lot of Nohrian soldiers that are going to be dead by tomorrow without the proper medicine"

He looked directly at the flask as Takumi shook it a little, again that tremor in his body, feeling how every inch of his body went cold "…you…..you wouldn't dare to…."

"Kill your forces with a disease? No, of course no, Ryoma wouldn't dare to, but that doesn't mean that Yukimura wouldn't, after all, we are just taking advance of our luck, changing bottles from a room isn't that hard, by now your troops should be realizing that the 'medicine' is not working and since Ryoma didn't wanted you to get sick, here we are with the last bottle of medicine just in case you got the disease, enjoy it" Takumi said leaving the flask on the floor with a sadistic smile, Kamui just stared at the flask while he paled, it was all his fault? His sister died because of him? Did Ryoma had a change of heart so suddenly? Everything was messed up with those lines, he couldn't believe that Ryoma could be so heartless to let die so many innocent people, even if they were Nohrians there were farmers, families, slaves as well as soldiers in Nohr who were under King Garon´s Iron fist, he fought so hard against all odds, against his own heart and the pleads of Ryoma, and in the end, it was meaningless? But in a way it make sense, why Ryoma was just repelling his forces in the gardens, why he was so adamant to maintain him away of the building with the so needed medicine, why his soldiers were using masks in front of the troops, angst and sorrow were replaced by rage and disgust, looking up again he found his smile and by the way he was smiling, it was a fake one, one filled with sentiments that reflected how much he enjoyed to break his world, it didn't mattered in the end, he was alone in that room and wouldn't be able to see them again, unlike a few moments ago he felt his blood boiling in his veins as he slowly but steadily started to bend the chains while he tried to break free, he could feel the change in his body, that blind rage he felt when he had his mother body in his arms, the same disgusting feeling of failure and that in the end he couldn't do anything to stop it, he felt how the shackles were giving up for his incoming transformation, Takumi took a step back with his hands on front of him "Ohh, scary~ the Dragon scum is getting mad?" he laughed as the people around Kamui gasped, someone behind the albino threw a black orb to Takumi´s hands "not this time" Takumi said as he used the orb, as soon it started to glow he felt how his own body betrayed him, his strength started to fade as his rage was dying in a suffocating hold on his chest, after some seconds he saw how the orb was shining in Takumi´s hands while he was glowing "It's curious what you can do in desperate times" he continued "Improve the armors and weapons of our soldiers, discover new ways to harvest in extreme conditions or to enslave a certain dragon with the help of a simple book" he said leaning to his level again, Kamui could only stare as he slowly steal his force little by little "Certainly hilarious how a Nohrian spell is inked in your back in order to maintain you in control, just don't give up, keep trying to stand up, to unleash all that energy of your dragon form, we´ll give it a good use to all that energy, for example, set again the barrier that Queen Mikoto used to maintain your barbaric family away of our lands" the orb glowed again in a crimson shade, Takumi arched his eyebrow in surprise "Oh, look at that, you already filled your share of the week, good boy, ahahahhaha!"

"Only you…." Kamui mumbled under his breath looking down for a moment, then he glared at him with pity "…..only scum like you would mock someone fallen" Takumi frowned, he didn't replied instead he walked away with the orb in his hands.

"Tell that to someone who cares!" Takumi opened the door looking back at the ninja "You! Keep an eye on him, i´ll tell Ryoma that is done, don't you dare to set him free until Ryoma is here" Kaze nodded as the other diviners left the room behind the archer, not before leaving another black orb in the hands of the ninja.

"….Kaze…" Kamui mumbled with sorrow in his voice

"Yes milord?"

"Dont ever call me that again…"Kaze felt venom in his voice "…dont you even talk to me again….just leave me alone…"

"Wh-What? B-but m-"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kamui looked at the ninja, Kaze took another step back in sheer surprise that the albino had been trying to hold his tears, with that kind of expression on his face, a mixture of sadness and sorrow he felt the weight of his betrayal, with an aching heart he shook his head

"im sorry Kamui, i cant…." Kamui looked down again, totally beaten for what happened a few moments ago, he couldn't believed what he heard, this time he didn't cared if the ninja looked at him, or if he was being observed by Saizo or the others, in that room in solitude of the world, he emptied the bitterness of his heart as every tear shattered pieces of his breaking heart.

For the first time in his life, he missed the solitude of the Castle.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND THAT´S ALL FOR NOW!

OMG! I JUST REALIZED, DID I KILLED ELISE?! D:

Ok, Ok guys, take it easy, don't take out the spikes yet, you over there! Put down that torch, i have one or two chapters to clear this up, is still not over…or it is? :v

Some of the guests had a really interesting ideas for this fanfiction and let me tell you that certainly your suggestions are welcome and considered, there's a general question about if i´m doing this with conquest, would i dare to make another with birthright? Right now the answer is no, at least in the next two or three months, i need to finish the other fanfictions or put them in hiatus and i really hate to do that because every time i do that i have a brainstorm with the ones in hold and nothing comes up from the others (this fanfiction was born when I was editing 'world of my wife' and that idea was created in 'the fated dragon') so for now, let's just say that MAYBE i´ll write a parallel story about a birthright route.

To Temporal King: I hope that this chapter is enough to sate your curiosity, and also to respond your question about what happened to Elise :´)

Oh yes, i forgot, for now on as you insisted, i´ll answer any question you have as best i can about the fanfiction´s, so don't be shy and ask, i´ll post my answer in future N/A Notes.

Finally we have our little poll for the next month, you know, for the anniversary thing? A special poll with the characters you want to read in a special One-shot chapter for the next month, you have until the last day of this month to say your suggestion and starting the 3rd day of September i´ll post the poll with the options.

Pheew* i think that's all for now, thanks for your time! I hope you have a great weekend and a good night!

SHIDESU! OUT!
