Kamui looked at the young woman sitting across from him. Whatever her plan was to keep both him and Subaru safe was it sounded very serious. "So you have a plan right? What do I have to do to ensure our safety?" Kamui asked. He needed to know desperately because, he knew he would do anything to keep Subaru safe.
"I do have a plan. It's going to be a painful plan for Subaru but it's the only way I can think that would keep you away from harm for a while." Nanami said. "I understand. What is it?" He asked. "Shirou-san, you are going to have to fake your own death." Nanami stated. Kamui's eyes widened. "I have created a mannequin in your image for your body. You will have to 'die'. I will then make phone calls as a police woman to your friends to come and say goodbye to you." Nanami said.
"The only person that you are friends with who knows about my plan is Karen-san, because I have been acquainted with her. Currently she is watching over Sumeragi-san and will be the one to bring him to you to mourn. Once he is mourning she will tell the others to leave him so he can mourn in private. Once they've all left the vicinity she will sneak back in, disguised and kidnap him. Then you two will be reunited in a new place." Nanami explained.
"You are going to have to come with me, in my car now. I will take you far away and Karen-san and Sumeragi-san will join up with us later on. I know it's all very sudden but we don't know when Maki will go through with her plan so it needs to be taken care of immediately." Nanami said. Kamui nodded. "I understand, as long as we will see each other again later that is fine with me." Kamui said determinedly. Nanami smiled. "Okay then let's go." She said.
Kamui went with Nanami to her car and they drove off quickly. He didn't know where they were headed. But about an hour into their journey, Nanami stopped and started making the phone calls to his friends. Kamui sat back in the car seat and closed his eyes. 'I'm sorry Subaru, you'll understand why I had to do this later I promise.' He thought sadly.
Subaru wasn't used to coming home to an empty house. 'Kamui should have been home ages ago.' He thought feeling a stir of panic in his stomach. Then the doorbell rang. Subaru sighed in relief. He opened the door. "Welcome home Kam- eh? Karen-san? How can I-" Subaru cut himself off when he noticed how grave Karen looked. Subaru's hands trembled. He had no idea what was going on. "Wh-what is it? What's happened?" Subaru asked.
"I have some bad news. A police woman has been ringing all of the surviving 'Dragons of Heaven' and a boy named Keiichi Segawa, telling us that Kamui has been murdered." Karen said tears streaming down her cheeks. Subaru dropped to his knees. Kamui had been murdered? He couldn't accept it. He wouldn't. "No…" He gasped. "No. No. No!" He cried. "Come with me Subaru-san. W-we have to say goodbye." Karen said in a choked voice. Subaru stood up shaking with grief and nodded.
Neither spoke the whole time they were walking to where Kamui was. They stopped at an office building. Subaru heard the familiar sound of Yuzuriha crying inside. The other remaining dragons Seichirou Aoki, Arashi Kishuu and a 'Dragon of Earth' Kusanagi Shiyuu were standing outside with grief on their faces. Yuzuriha exited the building and saw Subaru's trembling form. "Oh Subaru-san i-it's so awful!" She cried and she threw her arms around him, sobbing again.
Karen entered the building to say her goodbye to Kamui. Once she left she kindly told the others they should go back to their homes. "I will stay and wait with Subaru-san, but you guys should go and rest. H-he needs to spend some time here to mourn over Kamui." Karen explained. The others agreed. Kusanagi escorted Yuzuriha, telling her he would get some ice cream with her. Seichirou and Arashi went their separate ways, bidding quiet farewells to the other two.
Karen touched Subaru's shoulder. "Go in there and hold him. Take your time. I've known for a very long time that you've had feelings for him." Karen said gently. Subaru nodded and walked in. Slowly he observed his surroundings. His eyes locked on a familiar school uniform. He walked over and dropped to his knees. It was true. Kamui was dead.
"Kamui… Why? Who on Earth could have done this to you?" Subaru ran his hand over the cheek of the young man. He gently lifted his friend into his arms, his whole body trembling. "I never thought that I would have to tell you how much you mean to me like this. I-I wanted to tell you in a much more meaningful manner. I loved you Kamui and you will never know this. You gave me a new hope in my life. You saved me from myself. And now you're gone a-and I'm all alone. There is nobody left in my life anymore for me to live for. P-please just let this be a dream. D-don't leave me Kamui. Please don't leave me." Subaru held Kamui's body and let his tears fall.
"All I can do now is find the one who did this to you. It's the last thing I can give you, but I know I will come and be with you one day. I-I don't want you to be alone for too long Kamui." Subaru said and he pressed his lips gently against Kamui's. "I love you. Farewell." He said and he just knelt there for a while looking at Kamui with his tears still falling. He didn't notice a disguised Karen sneaking behind him and proceeding to knock him unconscious.
