Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the concept.
Yoru: Now that the people down the hall have SHUT UP…
Kuronue: …for now…
Yoru: …I can write without wanting to throw something. It's amazing that you have all stuck with this story regardless of how long it takes me to update. So, we're back, and to get the next chapter all you have to do is show me you want it…by reviewing!
Kuronue: Please.
Yoru: And thank you again. This was going to only be three chapters, but apparently either my writing skills are failing on me or this plot is just too broad. Eh, whatever. On to the fic!
Subaru was about to go home when a voice spoke to him out of nowhere.
"Found your little Kamui yet, Subaru?" Seishiirou smiled maliciously as Subaru's eyes widened.
"What? Found him? He's gone?"
"Well, yes. All of your little friends are looking for him. Why aren't you? I thought maybe it was because you already found him." Seishiirou was obviously enjoying himself as Subaru leaped up and grabbed him by the coat lapels.
"What have you done with him, Seishiirou?" he snarled.
"Me? Why does everything have to be my fault, Subaru?"
"You---!" Suddenly they were on a roof high above the city.
"Look, there goes the pretty priestess," Seishiirou commented, as though about the weather. Subaru turned to look, and Seishiirou's slammed across his cheek in a vicious slap. Subaru would have fallen from the roof if Seishiirou had not caught him. Subaru fought as Seishiirou kissed him, harsh and demanding, biting his lower lip in a play for total dominance. After what felt like an eternity to Subaru, Seishiirou pulled away.
"There was a time when you would not have fought me, Subaru."
"That was before you killed my sister, leaving me and---leaving me alone."
"You and whom?" Seishiirou pushed Subaru away only to grab him again as he was about to fall.
"Stop playing with me, Seishiirou!"
"Would you rather I let you fall?" Seishiirou laced his fingers with Subaru's, smirking as the other man tried to pull his hand away.
"I can balance on a roof as well as you can."
"Not if I don't let you."
"Let go of me and let me stand on my own. I have to go find Kamui, if you won't tell me where he is."
"No. Since when are you not mine?" Seishiirou made as if to push Subaru from the roof again. Subaru unconsciously clenched the hand that held his in an iron grip.
"I've never been yours."
"Not by title, but certainly in heart. I want to know when that changed, Subaru."
Unbidden, a lovely image filled Subaru's mind.
Since I saw those beautiful, sad eyes.
"If I tell you that I still love you, will you let me go?"
"Of course not. It would be a lie."
"Don't make me fight you."
"I'm frightened." Seishiirou smirked, grabbing the back of Subaru's head and pulling him into another forced kiss. The smirk widened as Subaru struggled hard.
Subaru nearly lost his already precarious footing as Seishiirou pulled away.
Seishiirou, Lady Kanoe calls you.
"I'm busy."
It's about our Kamui.
This time, Subaru heard Kakyou's voice. Seishiirou turned to Subaru.
"We'll continue this next time."
Before Subaru could form a spell, he was gone in a swirl of sakura petals.
He may come back when he realized that I lied.
"You lied?"
You were fighting him. You obviously did not want his attention.
"Thank you, Kakyou." Subaru was about to leap to the next roof, when he thought of something Seishiirou had said.
"Kakyou, do you know where our Kamui is?"
Our Kamui has kidnapped him and is...
"Is what?"
Claiming him.
"WHAT?"
"I can't believe it. It's almost two in the morning; we searched every hotel in Tokyo, and not a trace of Kamui." Sorata leaned back, head pounding. Arashi sat, fidgeting, staring out the window as if expecting Kamui to come walking up the sidewalk.
"You were wrong. That's not hard to believe. Why didn't we keep looking?" Yuzuriha was on the verge of tears. Saiki paced the house, mumbling to himself. Karen and Aoki had gone home, promising to return early in the morning.
"We don't know where to keep looking, Yuzuriha. We'll start again in the morning. Go to bed."
"Why? I can't sleep. What's the point?"
There was a knock at the door. Arashi opened it to reveal Subaru, panting and sweating.
"Subaru?"
"Did…you find…Kamui?" he asked, still panting. Arashi shook her head.
"We looked everywhere we could think of."
Subaru came in and flopped onto the couch, "So did I."
"Fuuma wouldn't have killed him, right?" Yuzuriha suddenly whispered. Subaru shook his head.
"No. Not with what he is doing to him. He won't kill him."
"You know something, Subaru. Spill it," Sorata snapped. Subaru looked at Yuzuriha meaningfully. She stomped her foot.
"I'm not a child! I deserve to know, and I'm not leaving!"
"Let her stay." Saiki had stopped pacing, "She's right. She's part of this, too."
Subaru nodded.
"I was contacted by Kakyou, one of the Dragon of Earth's warriors. He told me that the Fuuma is claiming Kamui."
"Claiming?" Arashi asked. Subaru closed his eyes.
"Raping."
There was another knock at the door. Sorata pushed Arashi back as she stood to open it.
"I'll do it." He opened the door a crack. Nobody was there…
"Sorata…" A small voice, cracked and obviously strained, came from the ground. Sorata looked down.
"Kamui!"
Fuuma strolled into the headquarters of the Dragons of Earth as though nothing had happened. Seishiirou greeted him upon entry.
"You've been having fun, from what I hear."
"Yes, and now I have what is mine."
"I don't see him. Why didn't you bring him?"
"I don't need his body. He, himself, is mine. The Dragons of Heaven can have his body." Fuuma smiled to himself, remembering the screams and begging coming from the small body below him.
"That's very generous of you. You do realize that Kanoe is ready to kill, right?"
"Let's see her try."
A/N No, this story is not over. When it is, there will be a little Owari at the end of the chapter. See one? No? Then stay tuned…
