Chapter 7 Yin and Yang

Kamui stood watching in horror. This could not be happening, just no, how did his magic work here anyways? This was the City of Light. Next to him he saw his twin move and a tender hand touch the prince's shoulder. "Prince Seishirou….you don't have to do this..."

"Yes, yes I do. You don't understand…it's foreordained, it's destiny."

Emerald eyes widened briefly before narrowing. "Well to hell with destiny! Destiny says you and I can't be together and we are!"

"If I don't do this…then the people of the land surely will and they'll be a lot harder on Fuuma than I will. I kill him and it will be quick and painless. They kill him? It will be slow and tedious."

"There needs to be…another way…"

"If only… Now out of the way."

The sakura storm started as he walked to his brother, who was ready to accept his fate, but somehow he wondered, would it truly be him?

"Out of my way."

"No. I won't let you kill Fuuma, I don't care what he is...I still love him."

Kamui…don't do this. He won't hesitate to kill you. Something finally snapped in Fuuma's mind and at the last moment he pulled Kamui out of the way and braced for the impact of Seishirou's sword.

It never came...instead he saw Kamui's twin impaled with the thing and his brother's eyes were wide, full of shock and…was it hurt? Did that mean his brother had fallen in love with Subaru? Judging by the way he caught the boy when he fell, Fuuma was going to say yes.

"SUBARU! LET ME GO FUUMA! YOUR BROTHER…YOUR BROTHER KILLED HIM!"

"And it's because of me that he did, the prophecy stated that if either one of us tried to kill each other…it'd bounce back and kill our soulmate instead and it's my fault..I…I didn't want to lose you…" Fuuma's eyes wandered over to the other pair and he felt his heart literally breaking. He wished there was something he could do...

"Subaru…I'm sorry…it..wasn't supposed to be you…"

"Please don't cry Seishirou, if it's by your hand, I don't mind dying."

Crying? He was crying, this wasn't possible…it had to be some sort of trick. However, feeling his face; it was damp. He really was in love with Subaru…but why did he have to realize it so late? There was only one choice left then. "Kamui was it?"

Kamui stopped squirming in Fuuma's grip for a moment at being addressed by the older male. "Yeah, what's it to you?"

"You best take care of him."

"Nii-san does that mean you're giving us the blessing to live happily here as a married couple?"

"Of course, there's nothing I can do to stop you Fuuma."

"What are you talking about?" Fuuma's eyes went wide as he saw his older brother impale himself through the chest with his own sword.

Fuuma forgot about holding Kamui and ran over to where his brother had fallen next to Subaru. He knelt on the ground next to his older brother. "Seishirou! You bloody idiot what are you doing…"

"Being with the person I love the most…I just wish I had learned it sooner."

Holding back the tears Fuuma turned back to his own partner. "Kamui, you need to go get Kyle. He was my brother's assistant he'll know what to do."

Seishirou however turned to Subaru and grabbed his hand. "I'm sorry Subaru, I never meant for this to happen...I did love you, you know."

"I know, I'm sorry as well, for not being strong enough to stop you. I'm glad you're coming with me though. I love you too, always have." Subaru squeezed the hand he was holding lightly before his green eyes closed one last time, a smile on his face.

Fuuma held his brother's free hand. "I sent Kamui to go get Kyle, see what can be done."

Amber eyes closed. "Who says I want anything to be done? This was meant to happen little brother, to restore the kingdom to one piece. I'm...I'm happy to go to the other side, as long as it's with him."

Just as Kamui returned with Kyle, Fuuma felt the pressure that was holding his hand ease up and without thinking he let go and watched as his brother's hand fell to the side, the life sustaining it gone.

"Your Highness?"

Fuuma looked at his brother's former advisor and shook his head sadly, the tears pouring out of his eyes full force as he finally let his head fall onto his brother's still form and break down sobbing.

Kamui hugged Fuuma as Fuuma had hugged him earlier, still mourning the loss of his own twin as well.

"LOOK!" The barrier that separated the City of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness was dissipating.

"So all those stories I read as a child were true..."

~#~ EPILOGUE ~#~

Fuuma sat in his brother's old bedroom. It was strange seeing so much light in this place. It wasn't overwhelming like it was in the City of Light; it was natural as now there was balance between the two worlds.

All because of Subaru and Seishirou.

Sometimes he wondered if his brother had known all along, Subaru too. They both had seemed content going to the other side. Wait, what was he thinking? Of course Seishirou had known, he knew everything, always had.

Fuuma sighed as Kamui entered the room.

"You can't drown yourself in here, it...it brings back bad memories. I did the same thing in Subaru's room."

"I know but...there's so many questions left unanswered…" Fuuma and Kamui stood in front of the grand mirror that stood in Seishirou's room.

"How many times have I told you, never to snoop around in my room, plus you brought company little brother."

"Don't be so harsh Seishirou..."

"You have no idea my princess."

Violet and honey brown eyes widened as they looked in the mirror and saw not their reflections but their brothers standing there. "What….why…how?"

"There is one last prophecy little brother, and where there's a will there's always a way."
