Shorts and Shots: Clamp's Collection Pt.IV
Title: Shorts and Shots: Clamp's Collection Pt. IV
Category: Clamp and expect some crossovers
Rating: Ranges from T to NC-17 (Due to some graphic scenes, language, blood, a bit of violence, and some hotness in some of these shorts and shots) Part IV is also T bordering to NC-17, but mostly T
Genre: Mostly Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Humor, Angst a bit of horror, friendship, tragedy, and supernatural.
Note: I'm slightly pissed of due to the fact I cannot post the whole thing on a single entry, so I'll try and post this in halves or quarters.
Note: After reading some SubaruxSakura fics, which I admit is now one of my favorite crossovers pairing, I ended up having a weird craving for a SubaruxSakuraxKamui fic. So, um from that point on, I think the crack bug struck me again and made me imagine more, and more of them. I wanted sleep badly, so I'm going to do something about it. I swear whenever I think of crossover pairings, it leads to some that isn't there on FF. net. Which makes me wonder *rushes to the window and yells: WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU PEOPLE? 'cough'* I'm not sure if I put most of the characters in their characters, so um yeah. ^_^'' That said, let's begin with the collection.
Disclaimer: Honestly I don't want to do the disclaimer, but since I wrote several of crossover pairings and some of them are pairings just from the anime or yaoi. Half of them I have no idea where they come from, so I guess, I'll have to do it anyway.
Let's see:

____________________________
Subaru for the first time in his life of being a Sakurazukamori never felt surprise or rather afraid when he caught someone from falling off one of the buildings in his arms deliriously. He analyzed the figure in his arms. The familiar messy brown hair, unconscious, lean, lanky, and dressed weirdly, Subaru thought his breath being caught in his throat at the familiar features of his former leader, the Dragons of Heaven's Kamui. This would probably how Kamui would have looked liked if he had been still alive.
"Kamui…" The name of the leader's name escapes his lips, but he shook that thought out of his head. Their Kamui is dead, his Kamui is dead. Fuma is alive along with some of his friends and those from Dragons of Earth. So why does this one matter? The Kamui in his arms gripped his black turtle-neck shirt and whimpered out something that he wished he heard once again from his Kamui's lips.
"Subaru, don't go…" Not sure of what to do, the older Subaru decided to bring this Kamui to his apartment to rest, the Sakura tree can wait and wilt for all he care. His Kamui isn't here, this one seems to need him now.
________________________
Kamui twisted and turned, the bile in his throat formed, bitter and sad as he woke up. Amethysts eyes cautiously look around his surroundings, he scrunched up his nose at the stench of cigarette smoke and his eyes widen at the familiar scent.
Subaru! He got up from the bed he is placed and opened the door, an older man with black hair looks up in surprise and shock from where he is sitting against the sofa, a pair of miss match eyes, green and a clear glass that sent a shiver down Kamui's spine of how this person remind him so much of that hunter that is chasing him and his twin, but the man in front of him has the scent of his brother. Kamui, swallowed down the disappointment and failure in him before he glared at the man who was stunned earlier and raised an eyebrow at him.
"Where is Subaru?" The man blinks, and narrowed his green eye with his glass one at Kamui.
"My name is Sumeragi Subaru, who are you?" Kamui's eyes widened in dread, his beloved twin isn't with him. He most likely spared him from being caught by that hunter and stayed, Kamui protested of course, he would never departed from his brother to someone who hurts him once. His twin, smiled sadly at him and that's when his mind fogged up and he black out. Kamui clenched his hands, careful of his nails not to pierces his own palms. He should have known that Subaru loved that hunter, and that he couldn't keep him away from that monster. So why? Why did Subaru have to abandon him, so he could protect him from that hunter when he was the one that caused him pain? Subaru is the only one he has left. Warm red tears tricked down his porcelain face, he forgot that there is another person with him in the room as he heard the man's breath hitched. Violet eyes look at him, he wonders why this man has Subaru's scent and then remembered that Witch's words.
Paradox of Parallels ((A/N: I know that what Yuuko said might be a law, but there isn't a name for it.))
"You're a…" Kamui glared at him, ignoring his tears, he growled at the man who called himself Sumeragi Subaru.
"Don't you dare say who I am! It wouldn't matter anyway, not without him…" Kamui added softly as he looked downcast. The current head of Sumeragi and Sakurazukamori clan breathed in to calm down his heart. The person is a vampire, a myth that wasn't supposed to be or exist in this world, then again, he already experienced enough paranormal in his own share. However, it doesn't change the fact that this teen in front of him is Kamui, except perhaps a bit moodier, more angstier, er was that even a word, than his Kamui. However, it does not change the fact that this Kamui looks like he lost someone beyond his control and that he has the same sad guarded violet eyes that his Kamui has. It comes to clear that this is the work of Paradox of Parallels, and that most likely this Kamui was from another world. How he got here, is mostly due to the work of Yuuko.
"That's what I first thought as well." The vampire Kamui looks at him in surprise, to see a soft smile on the omnyoji's face.
"I've already lost three people that are close to me. Hokuto, my twin. Seishiro-san, the cause of my pain," Subaru look amused when he saw a flicker of hate crossed through this Kamui's eyes, "And, Shiro Kamui of this world." The vampire blinks at him, the Sumeragi gestured for him to sit down on the couch. Cautiously, Kamui did and watch him.
"How did he die?" Subaru smile sadly with a hint of bitterness.
"He died to save this planet and its humanity, but most of all he died to save his best friend and the people he cares about." Kamui blinked, and frowned. This Subaru make it sounds his counterpart died as a hero. That's what he would have done for his Subaru and the people back home, if Subaru hadn't met that hunter.
"Did you loved him?" That caught this Subaru off guard in surprise, and he let out a small sad smile.
"You know, I don't actually know. He never did tell me, since he is mostly worried about everyone." There was an echo of but, the but is the fact that maybe this world's Kamui didn't want for this Subaru to know.
"How did you get that eye?" He didn't expect the cold voice, but then he knew that he was treading into personal grounds
"I didn't take his eye if you were wondering, I replaced it with glass after I killed him." It was a cold feeling he didn't want to believe that came out of this Subaru's mouth, but to kill the one that betrayed you and loved the most? There were also differences between this Subaru and his Subaru. The vampire shook his head, his brother isn't going to be coming back and there isn't any way he could protect him. He hated the feeling of helplessness, the feeling of that he couldn't do anything to help his Subaru before it's too late.
The older man look at him, he wasn't sure what to do but the look on this Kamui's face, reminds so much of his when he put himself in self-cationic state. His Kamui visited regularly and try to help him get out of his coma, it wasn't until the last day that he was able to with the help the spirit of Hokuto, but he died on that same day. Subaru, wasn't sure whether he would like to know what had this Kamui's Subaru had done to him but…
Subaru sighed, got up and hold the vampire close, allowing him to cry his bloodshed tears on him. This Kamui must have been through enough to suffer so much, and he wonders what would have his Kamui and this Kamui's Subaru would've done. Then again, it wouldn't get him anywhere with thinking like this. So he gently pried off the vampire's grip on his black turtle neck shirt, ignoring the shock going through him as he touched the vampire's cold hands and bent down to the vampire's level.
"You may not be my Kamui, and I may not be your Subaru, but I know that your Subaru wouldn't want you to mope around." Kamui blink, and blinked again before laughing bitterly. This is pure irony, I waited for three fucking years for Subaru to wake up and so we can leave, and yet…
"Kamui-san?" Subaru asked slightly alarmed, Kamui calmed down realizing that he is dealing with a human and older version of Subaru, and not his vampire twin.
"I'm sorry for scaring you, but your right it's just…I've been waiting for him three whole years to wake up. There were some circumstances, and after that we left. We were few dimensions ahead of that hunter," The vampire hissed out that word bitterly, " and it took only a few weeks to find us. My twin brother, Subaru, didn't want me to suffer the same fate of being caught, so he drugged me and sent me to this dimension." Blood tears kept coming, and suddenly Subaru knew who that hunter is, judging from the bitter tone from this Kamui.
"The reason we were running from our own dimension and from that hunter, is because that hunter hurt my twin and the rest of people we knew, are gone. I wanted to protect him for that hunter, but I guess the relationship between them is a love-hate one. I've should have know that he still loves him." And then suddenly, Subaru didn't want to know anymore because he knew what would most likely happen and he did the only thing that stop this Kamui from digging into a deeper hole of despair. Most likely without thinking, he kissed the vampire without fully thinking of what would come out of it. Amethysts eyes widen, the bloody tears stopped as the vampire had to remember that this Subaru isn't a vampire, but a human. Gentle as he can, making sure he wouldn't hurt this Subaru from pushing away too much and accidentally slamming him into the wall, he searched this Subaru's eye. Green reflected into his amethysts eyes, a possible future of what would have happen for if this Subaru's Kamui was still alive.
"Why?" Familiar black hair lay against his black cloth shoulder; Kamui fought his instinct not to bite into the older man's unprotected neck and listened to what he'll say.
"Because that is what he would've done to get you out, and that's what Kamui would've done to get me out of my coma if he didn't have a death sentence hanging over his head since birth." That calmed Kamui down a lot.
"You are very much like him, Sumeragi-san." The omnyoji shrugged at this, stood up, rolled up his sleeves and held out his arm to Kamui. Kamui blinked, looking at his arm before raising an eyebrow at him.
"You're a vampire, and you need blood. So drink." That made Kamui raised his eyebrow into his hairline before he softly snorted. He stood up and stalked up to Subaru in an elegant grace, the omnyoji stayed where he is, eye trained on him wary. Hands gripped on his shoulder as he forced to walked backwards, and sit down on the sofa. There wasn't anything on the vampire's lips, except perhaps a serious frown as Subaru's legs are in between his, Kamui leaned in to his ear, Subaru shivered at the cold air making in contact with his ear.
"Are you sure you know what you're putting yourself through? Because, you're going to become an 'E' for me, your lifespan would be lengthened, you'll live longer than your friends for a while, we'll both have a link, and you'll eventually belong to me." Subaru look at the young vampire, he may have look like his Kamui with that serious gaze when he is determined to save him and his other friends. But back then, he and the rest of the Dragons of Heaven and Earth didn't have much of choice as their path is already decided for them. He and his Kamui were able to, but it cost the both of them. For Subaru, his eye and the one he want to protect, and for Kamui, his family, his best friend Kotori, and his own life. Now, he was presented with a choice, he could become the food source for this Kamui so he could survive and both of them would try to pick up each other's lives and make something out of it or he can refuse it and help this Kamui find his brother and he'll give that twin a lecture, which would be weird and amusing to see.
"I'm sure." The vampire pulled away, no emotion on his face as his eyes turned to golden cat eyes, they reflect with hesitation and false hope.
"Once you agreed, there is no turning back."
"I already know."
"Good." Cold lips against his, they made his lips tingle as they move against his.
"I'll guide you, but you must understand you have to relax once I bite you." Kamui said as he whispered against his lips, hands massaging his shoulders gently, never minding the position they are both in. The vampire pulled down the omnyoji's white trench coat down gently as he continued to massage his shoulders, removing any muscle aches in the magician. Subaru sighed into the kiss and moaned. Seeing the opportunity, Kamui slid his tongue into his mouth, it was cold as Subaru shivered in pleasure as he pushed against the wet muscle with his, and danced with it. His hands on the young vampire's hips, gripped and the vampire groaned slightly. He pulled away, golden eyes hazed with lust before he moved to the omnyoji's neck. Kissing and light sucking, those cold feathery lips leaving tingles of pleasures as they moved. Subaru bit back a moan, and slightly growled at this, earning a smirk from Kamui.
The vampire drew lazy circles on his neck with his tongue, making Subaru moan quietly at this, either in cold or pleasure, the vampire didn't care. Finding the pulse point wasn't so hard, but Kamui didn't want to injure the man to much so he suck the skin, lightly nibbled somewhere near the older man's pulse and finally bit into it. Subaru's green eye widens and he tried to winced away, but the strong hands on his shoulder kept him from moving and he begin to feel the pleasure coming from the bite. His mind slightly in haze as Kamui sucks his blood out of his body.
The paralyzing venom makes it easier for Subaru to relax, as he began to massage the vampire's neck and his lower back gently. His own hands danced as they moved against the black clothed of the vampire's shirt, before finding an opening and made its way into the vampire's back. Leaving Kamui to purr and sighed, feeling those warm touches from the older man as he leaved those searing touches on his cold skin. Kamui is careful not to suck so much of the delicious blood out of the man as he hummed into the older man's neck, and after having his fill, he stop sucking and licked the wound. Closing the gap and licking away any traces of blood, leaving it only as a hickey before he kissed the Sumeragi's lips. Kamui's hand trailed down to the Sumeragi's arms, keeping focus on the warm lips against his own cold ones, the feeling of being complete and not complete is there.
Then this Subaru slid his own tongue into his own mouth, it was a daring move and Kamui retracted his fangs to the normal ones seen on human. Golden eyes glazed into violet ones, hazed with pleasure and lust, the hungry need slowly becoming unbearable, Kamui ground his lips slightly into the older man. A groan muffled in the kiss as Kamui let his own curious hands find the helm of the older man's shirt, sliding in, he left the cold touches on the older man's chest, left the man shivering for more. Breaking away for air concerning for the older man, Kamui observed the green eye darkening, those hands under Kamui's shirt left and he moaned in protest. Those hands reached his hips, pulled him down roughly on the older man's lap, and Kamui found he was once again being kissed throughly by the older man himself. Kamui let his own hands wander on the older man's chest, he felt one of the buds, touching it, teasing it, he could hear the older man gasp at this, surprised and that gasp turn into a moan for more.
There was something oddly pleasurable about this, whether it was making out with a vampire who is feeding off from him or himself tasting his own blood from the vampire's mouth, feeling the odd tang and metallic taste. He wonders if he is actually necrophilia, he inwardly shivered that thought. He rather not knows if he actually is because he wasn't sure if he could handle it. The vampire chuckle, and Subaru gave the undead teen a halfhearted glare, knowing the vampire heard his thoughts and is very much amused about it. ((A/N: Oh C'mon, who doesn't want to see this part coming. I leave it to you fans to figure out what would happen if TRC!Kamui met X!Fuma while being with X!Subaru))

Rating: M - Slightly Disturbing Scene
Genre: Drama, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Romance, and One-Sided Romance? Maybe
Warming: I'm sorry if the characters are a bit OOCiness, but that's what made this one-shot more fun to write about. This one also, I have reasons. It got me thinking, if Subaru actually did die with Seishiro at Rainbow Bridge, then Kamui would be his successor in omnyoji. As a Sakurazukamori? That's a bit difficult to tell.
________________________________
"What is your wish?" A pair of mahogany eyes looks at the pair of twins with sorrow, one unconscious as he laid on the ground, the other one look at Yuuko with sad violet eyes, yet they are both in bad conditions.
"I wish for Subaru to be far away from that hunter, he has done enough harm on him and I don't think I can stand anymore and do nothing." Yuuko's eyes narrowed at this, certainly both twins are in bad conditions, but to have a wish for that.
"I will grant your wish, but this wish also has a price." Kamui look at her, determined.
"I know."
"Even if that price will make you stay here?" Kamui looked at his twin, hands clenched, he knew the price she was talking about, but for Subaru's safety and not to suffer anymore, he turned his attention to the Dimension Witch.
"Can I say goodbye first?" Yuuko nodded, Kamui took off his cloak and put it over his twin, tucking him in. His hand ghostly stroke his brother's cheek and he ghosted his lips on his twin's pale cheek.
"Sayonara, Subaru." He moved away from his twin's body and look at Yuuko.
"I'm ready."
"Then, your price is to take you're brothers place as that person that hunter is searching for." Kamui nodded, anything to keep his brother away from being hurt by that hunter again, he is willing to take Subaru's role.
"Very well." Yuuko sighed, her magic circle appeared under Subaru's body, and white ribbons hovered over the body.
"Ka..mui." Kamui swallowed, he wished for this to happen. White ribbons covered Subaru's entire body.
"Sorry, Subaru." The white ribbons pulled, the ground swallowed the white wrapped object, a flash, and Subaru's body is gone.
________________________________
Opening his flat door, Kamui closed it behind him before lying against it with a sigh. He is tired from the latest night job he had taken. He knew that taking up omnyojitsu requires a lot of mental strengths and shields, along with a strong heart and ability. But he never knew that it'll be this taxing, the client's manor is very much like hell. Accidents and suicides from the past 10 years had caused the house itself, well, have its own mind of its own due the built up spirits. All he wants to do now is take a shower, read some pages of Dan Brown's novel, 'Angels & Demons' before collapsing onto his bed. Throwing his gray trench coat onto his couch, he slowly trudged down the hallway to his room. Feeling a strong burst of magic, his amethysts eyes narrowed, before opening the door and switching the light switch on, he is suddenly glad that he isn't sharing his flat with anyone. Otherwise, how could he explain the situation presented in front of him.
Kamui stared at the body on his bed; he thinks his mind is playing tricks with him because the Subaru he knew died on Rainbow Bridge with the Sakurazukamori. He blamed himself for letting that happen, and even though he won and knowing Fuma's wish, it didn't help the fact that some of the people he grew to like and knew, are gone and it left an empty hole in him. So he took up omnyojistu as a reminder of Subaru, some of his friends pointed out that he is acting almost like him. He denied of course, and they agreed, because they already knew that Kamui will still be Kamui, nothing is going to change it, and hopefully not anytime soon.
He has a theory on how this Subaru got here, but he is willing to wait and listen from him. Kamui sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly, before he grabbed the First Aid Kit from the bathroom and tend to the wounds of this Subaru's body. Putting the First Aid Kit on the night stand, he took off the cloak and put it right next to this Subaru. As he put this Subaru on his back and propped him against the best post, he felt the cold skin on this Subaru's face. Eyes wide, and remembering the fact that this Subaru dressed differently, he pulled his hand a bit close to this Subaru's mouth to feel if this Subaru is breathing. Nothing, Kamui pushed the feeling of disappointment away and was about open this Subaru's lips apart to check when golden cat eyes opened. Kamui flinched away out of surprised; he looked at the wounds on this Subaru's body and they are healing, but very slowly.
Making a split second decision, Kamui, rolled up his white buttoned up shirt sleeve. He took out a scalpel knife from the First Aid, slit his wrist, enough to draw blood and held it to the vampire's mouth. Gold eyes flickered to green for a second.
"Ka…mui?" Kamui's amethysts eyes narrowed at this, did something happen to this Subaru's Kamui to make him this disoriented? Pushing that thought away, knowing it won't do well with the situation now. Kamui focused on what this Subaru need now, and that is making this Subaru drink his blood so his wounds can heal.
"Drink." Subaru only moaned in protest, amethysts eyes soften at this. Even though this Subaru isn't his Subaru, they are both stubborn.
"Drink, I'm not going anywhere." Kamui said softly to the vampire. "Either that or its going to be wasted." Finally, Subaru relented, open his mouth, close it on the wound and begin to suck the sweet liquid of life from him. It took an hour when Subaru's vision gotten better, that his golden eyes turned to green and he blink. Surprise that the Kamui in front of him, isn't his Kamui. This Kamui is dressed in a white buttoned up shirt, navy jeans, and he looks older, seventeen or eighteen he wondered.
"Are you done, Subaru-san?" Wide green eyes, he forgot that he was drinking blood from someone who isn't his Kamui, but someone who has the same taste in blood as his twin. He took the wrist gently away from his mouth. If he was human, he would've blushed in embarrassment. Blood trickle down this Kamui's arm, hypnotizing; he licked up the red trail and the wound made from the scalpel, making it close up.
"Sorry." This Kamui just shrug it off; examine his own wrist with a raise eyebrow, before letting it fall next to his sides.
"It's fine."
"Why?" Kamui raised an eyebrow at this, Subaru felt like a child when he saw this Kamui looking at him like that.
"Do I need a reason to save someone's life?" There was silence between them is eerily similar to the times Kamui spent with his Subaru.
"I'm not going to ask you to tell me the whole story and who you are. That's your choice and your own decision to decide when you want to tell me." Kamui said to him as he touched this Subaru's shoulder, and giving him a squeeze of reassurance that he can be trusted.
"Thank you." Kamui gives this Subaru a soft smile, and he wonders if he was like this when his Subaru first met him.
"You're welcome. I assume your name is Subaru, correct?" Subaru nodded.
"Well then, my name is Shirou Kamui, a pleasure to meet you're acquaintance, Subaru-san." Subaru look at him with surprise, seeing the soft smile on this Kamui's face, he gives back that soft smile to him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you to, Shirou-san."
________________________________
Green eyes open to the dark ceiling above him, he knew it was night, but he couldn't sleep. Subaru sat up from the bed with the sleeping clothes provided for him by this Kamui. He tried to remember when was the last time he ever been separated from his twin. Unfortunately, he can't recall and he tried to recall how on earth he ended up in this dimension. He closes his eyes, flashes of memories blurred into him, there was a man in a cherry blossom tree, happiness and a feeling of betrayal came with that memory. Blood soak to the ground, bodies lying on the ground, there was fire, lifeless the bodies burned, bodies disappearing into dust, his twin, his Kamui found him with eyes filled with relief but there were also worried. He could remember the feeling of pain and being lost, a blood tear trickle down. He wants his twin, his other half. Then he felt a familiar black cloth, he look down, eyes wide and he gulped nervously. This cloak, it belonged to Kamui, his Kamui, his hand trembled over the cloth and he gripped it. He pulled the cloth to his chest; his head buried in it and he smell the familiar scent of his twin, as if he is there with him. Like a little child, Subaru cried into the black cloak, he could never remember when he ever felt this alone. His door opened, soft rushed footsteps came close, the lamp on the night stand turned on, and he looked up. Green eyes stared into relief, calm, and something a bit sad in those amethysts eyes.
White shirt clung to his body slightly, black shorts, reading glasses perched on his nose. Water dripped slightly from his messy brown hair, yellow towel hanged around his neck, and amethysts eyes studied him. Then this Kamui sat right next to him and gathered him in his arms. The familiar scent of soap and something that belonged to his Kamui overwhelmed him as he cried into this Kamui's arms.
"You miss your Kamui, don't you?" Subaru nodded in his shoulder, hands rubbed his back in soothing circles.
"That's alright, I missed my Subaru often." Subaru stilled with eyes wide, his counterpart died in this world?
"Do you want me to stay here?" This Kamui asks, just like how his Kamui would've asked if he still have nightmares about him and Hokuto.
"Please." They stay like that for the whole night, allowing each other the comfort they needed. Kamui doesn't care the fact that his shirt is going to be bloody, but then he doesn't think his Subaru would've cared if he was in this position. Shaking out of the memories of his past, he delved his senses into the present and remind himself that it's best not to think too long of the past. As long as he is need by this Subaru, it didn't matter. Besides, it would've been what his Subaru would've done anyway. He softly smile, a chuckle form out of his lips, the vampire heard it and look at him confused.
"Shirou-san?" Comparing this Subaru to a kitten, a dangerous kitten, would make this Subaru either look at him incredulously or embarrassed, brushing off that thought, he softly thread the vampire's hair with his fingers.
"Nothing, just a passing thought. Now go to sleep, I won't be going anywhere anytime soon, Subaru." Kamui froze, the old name for his mentor just slipped passed him, but feeling the vampire nuzzling under his chin and arms wrapped around his torso forced him to relax. They can talk more tomorrow, turning off the lamp light; Kamui let himself fall into sleep, silently giving the vampire comfort.
The next morning, Kamui wished he gotten up earlier to fix breakfast for the both of them to prevent situations like this. His kitchen is in a mess, egg shells on the floor, burned scrambled eggs on the stoves, and flour everywhere with Subaru in the middle, covered in flour as well. Kamui knew he should've been angry, but seeing the vampire look like a kid who got caught having his hand in the cookie jar. His lips twitched before he started to laugh, he couldn't help it, and he really couldn't stop laughing. No matter what or whoever Subaru is in each dimension, not one of them can ever cook properly. Kamui once calm down his laughter to chuckles before smiling at Subaru who is still looking down with a downcast face. Kamui muses that when he was laughing, it felt foreign to him, and it made him feel a bit lighter, like a slight weight has been lifted off of him. Stepping over the crack egged shells; he walked over to the downcast vampire.
"C'mon let's get you clean up. Once we're done with that, let's clean up the mess before we got out and have something for breakfast." The vampire looks up at him in surprise a bit, and Kamui couldn't but softly chuckle. He wonders if he was ever like this around his Subaru's presence before he died. Brushing off the memories, he went into the hallway and came back with the towel, to try and clean up the vampire Subaru. Kamui himself, never let himself stray far off in his memories, but he always wonders, wishes and hopes that he could help Subaru, anyway he can. Somehow, this feels like he could something that he couldn't do when he was younger.
________________________________
Omake: Drunk
((A/N: After the vampire Subaru got introduce with some of remaining Dragons of Heaven and Earth. From the one-shot, it'll be about given a month))
Coming back from work, Kamui blinks at how much of his living room smells a bit like alcohol mix, sake, and with something he rather not know. He blushes a bit; he erases that blush and looks at familiar faces helplessly. What he didn't expect is for the vampire Subaru to look up at him from where he is, slightly red, and then the vampire was in his arms. Clinging to him, his face nuzzling his neck, arms around him holding tight, a kiss on his neck, and saying that it's not a dream, over and over again. Know he knows he is blushing, he got rid of it and focuses on the task at hand and look at Karen who seems content, being in between with Yuuto and Kazuki.
"Karen-san?" Kamui asked tentatively, Karen looked up at him and smile at him with sympathy. In a black dress, her right hand held the red wine, Yuuto's slept against her shoulder while Kazuki on her leg, she softly stroke the biodroid's blonde hair.
"Technically with him being a vampire, he passed the age of drinking a very long time ago. Sorta and Arashi are using one of your guest bedrooms," Kamui's face then flame, and it isn't from the way the vampire is hugging him too close for comfort. Karen softly giggles at this, making sure not to disturb the sleeping men who decided to use her as a pillow. "Kusanagi took Yuzuriha home, Nataku-kun ended up being drunk due to Sorta's persuasion. Yuuto-kun stopped drinking, and decided to stay up with me to watch everybody. Somewhere in the middle, he'd fallen asleep on me." Karen said and Kamui could hear the affectionate tone for the water master as he slept against her shoulder, his suit slightly rumpled. Nataku in blue-white t-shirt and blue jeans, slept against her knee. Kamui, with his arms around the vampire hesitantly looks at hallway, and sighed before looking at Karen.
"Are you going to stay like, Karen-san?"
"Does it look like I can move without either of them falling over?" Karen asked amused, Kamui chuckles at this, blush down to red lines on his cheeks. He blinked at Karen who looked at him with shock.
"What?" Karen shook her head before smiling at Kamui.
"You haven't laughed for a very long time; it's sort of strange to hear it. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing, apparently Earth itself needs a laugh or two." Kamui look at her a bit stunned, before smiling softly. "Thanks, I'll see you in the morning then."
"You're welcome, Kamui-kun." Kamui nodded, he knew better than to ask questions when it comes to how they all ended up like this. Helping the vampire back to the guest room is very difficult when the teen doesn't seem want to let go of him, catching hold of his white buttoned up shirt, Kamui swallowed and tried not to remember his own memories.
"Kamui, please stay." Subaru said, asleep and Kamui smile sadly. Using his own will, he pushed against the memories from coming into his mind. Taking off his trench coat and putting it on the chair, he lay down next to the vampire teen and look at him sadly. The vampire, still asleep, nuzzled into him; wanting every comfort he could give. Then Kamui wrapped his arms around the vampire, letting his own eyes drift off before closing them.
"I'm not going anywhere, Subaru."

Omake: What if
((A/N: In which if X!Subaru is still alive after the Rainbow Bridge Incident, but went into hiding. This would be somewhere in two months and not related to the previous one-shot))
Kamui stare in shock at who had come to his front door, pale with wide violet eyes as he stared at the older man in front of him. One sad green eye reflected back, the other, glass. Kamui felt his own strength weakened.
"Hello Kamui." Kamui's hand clenched on the door, his first instinct was to slam the door at the man in front of him. The second hug the man in relief and tried not to cry. The third is to scream obscenities at him for making him feel so much pain. He wanted to tell the man so much, how everything has changed and how he had changed without him around. Or rather, his Subaru wasn't around while the vampire Subaru is. The world around him, started to swirl, it felt like the ground underneath him has been lifted, and he blacked out. The vampire Subaru was going to ask Kamui if he can go out and buy some stationeries, and knowing that he is in the living room watching the new. He exited into the hallway from his guest room when he froze as he saw what was at the end of the hallway. A pair of mismatched eyes stared back at him in shock; the vampire first thought was that man in front of him is Seishiro and that he is holding Kamui, who is unconscious in his arms. His first emotion was a mix, anger and bittersweet. Then it came with protectiveness over this world's Kamui when he noticed the eye color and if anything, the vampire Subaru looked paler.
"Let's put him in his room, and then we'll talk." The vampire said as he controlled his voice, making it not waver as he walked over to take Kamui out of the man's arms. The older man narrowed his eyes at him and held Kamui closer.
"I don't trust you." The vampire's lips twitched, cold icy green eyes stared back at the man equally.
"Funny, neither do I." It was probably a weird feeling to go against your counterpart. The vampire gave up, but stayed close as he led the older man to Kamui's room.
"Where's your Kamui?" The vampire froze, and in a second swirled around, a long nail extended from his finger near the older man's neck. The older Subaru look at him unfazed as he stared into freezing golden cat like eyes.
"Have you met the Seishiro of this world yet?" The older Subaru's eyes widen at this before they started to narrow.
"And if I have?" The two counterparts stared at each other, not moving and not willing to back off.
"Then you would've understood that the reason my Kamui isn't here, was to save me, to get me far away. He replaced me as the person Seishiro is hunting for." The nail retracted, the vampire looked away and continues into the hallway of where Kamui's room is in. The older Subaru look at him, pale, before he looked down at his Kamui in his arms, he wasn't so sure of what would happen if his Kamui did that for him. He wouldn't dare to think of it as he followed his vampire self into Kamui's room, and laid his Kamui onto the bed. He glanced at the vampire, black Armani shirt with a short red tie, black slacks.
"They believed that you died. He believed that you died." It wasn't a statement; merely a fact, and yet there was hint of resentment in the vampire's voice.
"I know, I never thought I've caused so much pain to him."
"I'm not going to ask you to tell me the whole story and who you are. That's your choice and your own decision to decide when you want to tell us. That's what Shirou-san said to me when he found me in his room, unconscious."
"Did you tell him of what happened to your Kamui?" Green eyes look at him, sadly and yet very familiar.
"One would say, he already knows what happen to my twin."
"I have to go." Green eyes look at him surprised before they narrowed at him in anger.
"If you go, he'll be more upset that you left without saying goodbye." The vampire would've said more, but he saw the bitter sweet smile on the older man's face.
"Even though he will, he has you." Subaru knew it wasn't in his nature to glare at the man, but his older counterpart hurt this Kamui.
"I am not a replacement."
"And neither is he." Those words made the vampire look away; he knows that it's the truth.
"So why are you leaving him after saying hello?"
"Because he doesn't need me anymore." The older man left, and the vampire was left a bit confused on what to do and angry for the older Subaru for disappear. When Kamui woke up, he looked slightly lost.
"Shirou-san?" Amethysts eyes flickered to the vampire, he sadly smiled at the vampire before gesturing him to sit next to him. The vampire hesitates before obeying, he didn't move away when Kamui wrapped arms around him nor did he move away when he started to crying on his shoulder.
"Just call me Kamui, just for today." He nodded, he wants to return this Kamui's kindness when he let him hold on to him for the first week he been in this dimension, and a week ago. It's what this Kamui's Subaru would've wanted, and it's what his Kamui would've wanted. If possible, this Kamui will be his Kamui, and he will be this Kamui's Subaru, even if it's temporary.

________________________________
Violet eyes meet violet eyes, in shock and surprise. Same soul, same desire to protect those they care, and yet different. One of them wore black jacket and pants, outlined with red, and his chest is splashed with red. The other, wore something that look like out of the centuries, something out of the history book and gothic. The only difference between them, one has the ability to turn his violet eyes into golden cat eyes and extend long nails when threatened or angry, the other has long bat wings and cursed by his birth.
“Do you have something I should call you?”
“Shirou, it’s my last name.”
“Right.”
“So Kamui-san, what are you doing here in a dream?” Violet eyes blinked at the other one, and shrug, he doesn’t remember how.
“What about you, Shirou-san?” There is something akin to lost in the newly dubbed “Shirou’s” eyes.
“I was always here.” It is a vague answer, but the vampire could tell it has something to do with the blood on him.
“Don’t you have anyone to look after?” A bitter smile on Shirou’s lips, and shook his head.
“Not anymore.” That answer chilled the vampire’s bones, and he hesitantly asked the next.
“Why?”
“What’s there to protect when you are already dead?” Violet eyes widen at this.
“Am I?” Shirou shook his head; he walked over to the vampire. His bat like wings folded together, and he is in within reach of the vampire.
“No, you’re not dead if you are wondering. I’ve chose to die, because I want to protect those I’ve care about.” Shirou stares at the vampire with a small mischievous smile. Kamui seeing this, felt somehow in the later action, has something to do with him.
“You too, have someone you’re wanted and continue to protect. I’m guessing it’s someone with green eyes and black hair, right?” Kamui is stunned at this. Shirou smirked and leaned into close, lips hover slightly over the vampire’s cold lips as he shivered from the feeling of the warm breath on his lips.
“I’ll help, if you allow me to be housed within your body. It’ll be taxing, but it’ll also be easier.” Not hearing the reply, Shirou sealed the deal with the kiss. That’s when Kamui woke up with a start from his bed. He looked beside him and relaxed, Subaru, his twin, is sleeping, unaware of the dream he had dreamt.
Was that even real? He heard a soft chuckling in the back of his mind, the feeling of ghostly arms wrapped around him.
Hm, you know. I’m not so sure myself. Then the voice faded into the back of his mind, the ghostly arms felt as if they weren’t there, he rubbed his forehead tiredly, maybe it’s just his imagination.

________________________________
Hearing the shout of the girl's name, the twins turn their attention to outside. Although a bit worse for wear and being injured, the princess made it back with the price. Subaru's eyes glance at his twin to see his body lessened mildly, but tensed at the smell of her blood when she is brought inside the building. Subaru smile at this, though Kamui may not show it and is now displaying the emotion of annoyance and calm, he is a worried about the girl and the fact that Seishiro might come to this world anytime soon. Once the conversation with the Dimension Time Witch is over, everybody went to rest for preparing of what might come tomorrow.
After changing into cleaner clothes and cleaning off the blood on her skin, Sakura went to one of the beds she was designated to, she could still hear the drops of the acidic rain from outside but her mind is elsewhere. It replays the events of what happened earlier with her Syaoran going rogue, along with the vision she had earlier. Shaking her head, she dispel such thoughts from her mind, even though her Syaoran is out there; she, Mokona, Fai, Kurograne and the Original Syaoran will find a way and bring him back. Hearing a knock on the door, she let the person on the other side of the door to come in. Subaru's head popped in from side of the door, and Sakura suspects that Kamui is somewhere close by, watching and guarding.
"You can't sleep?" Subaru ask softly, before coming in to the room. Sakura shook her head in no, if she were to sleep, she would remember the events that happen in this world. It makes her heart ache, at knowing of the fact that her Syaoran went up and left them. Subaru smiled sadly at her, knowing the feeling all too well with the incident of Seishiro betraying him and drinking his blood. Though Sakura is the princess, she couldn't ignore the fact that Subaru have a surrounding loneliness around his heart nor the other people here, even though he has a twin with him to keep him company. Sakura stood up from her bed, walked towards Subaru and hugged him. Confused, stunned, and a little bit of worry, not to mention the fear of drinking her blood when she is this close him, his doubts vanished when he heard her talking, her head on his dark clothed shoulder.
"Sometimes, it’s hard to know who to trust even though you've been with them for a very long time. Even then, their hearts are still undecided but their mind chooses their desires. Don't worry, have hope and everything is going to be alright. No matter what the outcome the future will present." Subaru stilled, and due to being a vampire, his hearing is better than any humans when he heard Kamui's breath hitched. Those words, were the last from Hokuto before saying goodbye. By now, Kamui went into the room and leaned against the wall, not to surprise to see them hugging. Kamui knew they both need comfort because of the recent and past occurrences. Kamui barely heard what Sakura said next that made him smirk at Subaru, who looked bashful a bit, if he were human, he would have blushed.
"I want to say thank you, both of you. For trying to help me and saving Fai, it’s all I can hope for." What the twins didn't expect is Sakura kissed Subaru's cheek, lets him go, proceed to go a few feet from Kamui, and smiled at him. She took his hand and caressed it gently, and it glowed pink, Sakura whispered low enough for Kamui to hear. To the twins, none of them felt this awkward before. So once they said good nights to each other, Subaru looked a bit dazed and Kamui's face is blanked and a bit worried because he kept glancing back at that door Sakura is in.
Once it’s time for Sakura's group to leave, the people that were left behind looked at the sky, unaware that Kamui and Subaru are gone. Fuma noticed, but kept silent. Kamui looked at his twin, obviously there is something that bother's his brother's brain.
"Kamui?"
"Hm?"
"If given a chance.." His brother trailed off the sentence; Kamui looks at Subaru sadly before activating the seals to travel.
"I know, but we have to continue running." Kamui's hand, the one that Sakura touched, clenched.
________________________________________
"There are no what ifs and what could have happen, those are wistful thinking, however that’s what make a person dream, it is also create wishes and people continue on wishing them. But...some of those wishes, cannot be granted, even if you wish hard enough, however the future can be changed. And so therefore, I'm going to give you part of my good luck." Kamui's eyes widened at this when he heard the sad emotion in her voice, Sakura knew she was going to die.
"You knew that..." Kamui stopped talking when he saw the sad smile on her face, but her eyes are shining with wisdom and hope.
"The people I care about, gives me strength for me to protect them. If we were to prevent Fei Wong Reed's wish, and to be able to continue and move on into the future, and prevent from dream to ever come to reality, that's what makes my wish worthwhile." Kamui wonders why he is affected by her words, perhaps they were the ones that Kotori said to him long ago, or perhaps they hit a nerve, but whatever it was, there is probably a world where both he and Subaru can be with Sakura and protect her, however that still didn't calm down his worry about the princess's and her group of traveler's next destination.

Read and Review
Category: Clamp and expect some crossovers
Rating: Ranges from T to NC-17 (Due to some graphic scenes, language, blood, a bit of violence, and some hotness in some of these shorts and shots) Part IV is also T bordering to NC-17, but mostly T
Genre: Mostly Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Humor, Angst a bit of horror, friendship, tragedy, and supernatural.
Note: I'm slightly pissed of due to the fact I cannot post the whole thing on a single entry, so I'll try and post this in halves or quarters.
Note: After reading some SubaruxSakura fics, which I admit is now one of my favorite crossovers pairing, I ended up having a weird craving for a SubaruxSakuraxKamui fic. So, um from that point on, I think the crack bug struck me again and made me imagine more, and more of them. I wanted sleep badly, so I'm going to do something about it. I swear whenever I think of crossover pairings, it leads to some that isn't there on FF. net. Which makes me wonder *rushes to the window and yells: WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU PEOPLE? 'cough'* I'm not sure if I put most of the characters in their characters, so um yeah. ^_^'' That said, let's begin with the collection.
Disclaimer: Honestly I don't want to do the disclaimer, but since I wrote several of crossover pairings and some of them are pairings just from the anime or yaoi. Half of them I have no idea where they come from, so I guess, I'll have to do it anyway.
Let's see:
- Card Captors Sakura, Tokyo Babylon, X/1999, and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles belong to CLAMP
- Yu-Gi-Oh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi
- NARUTO belongs to Massashi Kishimoto
- D. Gray-Man belongs to Katsura Hoshino

____________________________
Subaru for the first time in his life of being a Sakurazukamori never felt surprise or rather afraid when he caught someone from falling off one of the buildings in his arms deliriously. He analyzed the figure in his arms. The familiar messy brown hair, unconscious, lean, lanky, and dressed weirdly, Subaru thought his breath being caught in his throat at the familiar features of his former leader, the Dragons of Heaven's Kamui. This would probably how Kamui would have looked liked if he had been still alive.
"Kamui…" The name of the leader's name escapes his lips, but he shook that thought out of his head. Their Kamui is dead, his Kamui is dead. Fuma is alive along with some of his friends and those from Dragons of Earth. So why does this one matter? The Kamui in his arms gripped his black turtle-neck shirt and whimpered out something that he wished he heard once again from his Kamui's lips.
"Subaru, don't go…" Not sure of what to do, the older Subaru decided to bring this Kamui to his apartment to rest, the Sakura tree can wait and wilt for all he care. His Kamui isn't here, this one seems to need him now.
________________________
Kamui twisted and turned, the bile in his throat formed, bitter and sad as he woke up. Amethysts eyes cautiously look around his surroundings, he scrunched up his nose at the stench of cigarette smoke and his eyes widen at the familiar scent.
Subaru! He got up from the bed he is placed and opened the door, an older man with black hair looks up in surprise and shock from where he is sitting against the sofa, a pair of miss match eyes, green and a clear glass that sent a shiver down Kamui's spine of how this person remind him so much of that hunter that is chasing him and his twin, but the man in front of him has the scent of his brother. Kamui, swallowed down the disappointment and failure in him before he glared at the man who was stunned earlier and raised an eyebrow at him.
"Where is Subaru?" The man blinks, and narrowed his green eye with his glass one at Kamui.
"My name is Sumeragi Subaru, who are you?" Kamui's eyes widened in dread, his beloved twin isn't with him. He most likely spared him from being caught by that hunter and stayed, Kamui protested of course, he would never departed from his brother to someone who hurts him once. His twin, smiled sadly at him and that's when his mind fogged up and he black out. Kamui clenched his hands, careful of his nails not to pierces his own palms. He should have known that Subaru loved that hunter, and that he couldn't keep him away from that monster. So why? Why did Subaru have to abandon him, so he could protect him from that hunter when he was the one that caused him pain? Subaru is the only one he has left. Warm red tears tricked down his porcelain face, he forgot that there is another person with him in the room as he heard the man's breath hitched. Violet eyes look at him, he wonders why this man has Subaru's scent and then remembered that Witch's words.
Paradox of Parallels ((A/N: I know that what Yuuko said might be a law, but there isn't a name for it.))
"You're a…" Kamui glared at him, ignoring his tears, he growled at the man who called himself Sumeragi Subaru.
"Don't you dare say who I am! It wouldn't matter anyway, not without him…" Kamui added softly as he looked downcast. The current head of Sumeragi and Sakurazukamori clan breathed in to calm down his heart. The person is a vampire, a myth that wasn't supposed to be or exist in this world, then again, he already experienced enough paranormal in his own share. However, it doesn't change the fact that this teen in front of him is Kamui, except perhaps a bit moodier, more angstier, er was that even a word, than his Kamui. However, it does not change the fact that this Kamui looks like he lost someone beyond his control and that he has the same sad guarded violet eyes that his Kamui has. It comes to clear that this is the work of Paradox of Parallels, and that most likely this Kamui was from another world. How he got here, is mostly due to the work of Yuuko.
"That's what I first thought as well." The vampire Kamui looks at him in surprise, to see a soft smile on the omnyoji's face.
"I've already lost three people that are close to me. Hokuto, my twin. Seishiro-san, the cause of my pain," Subaru look amused when he saw a flicker of hate crossed through this Kamui's eyes, "And, Shiro Kamui of this world." The vampire blinks at him, the Sumeragi gestured for him to sit down on the couch. Cautiously, Kamui did and watch him.
"How did he die?" Subaru smile sadly with a hint of bitterness.
"He died to save this planet and its humanity, but most of all he died to save his best friend and the people he cares about." Kamui blinked, and frowned. This Subaru make it sounds his counterpart died as a hero. That's what he would have done for his Subaru and the people back home, if Subaru hadn't met that hunter.
"Did you loved him?" That caught this Subaru off guard in surprise, and he let out a small sad smile.
"You know, I don't actually know. He never did tell me, since he is mostly worried about everyone." There was an echo of but, the but is the fact that maybe this world's Kamui didn't want for this Subaru to know.
"How did you get that eye?" He didn't expect the cold voice, but then he knew that he was treading into personal grounds
"I didn't take his eye if you were wondering, I replaced it with glass after I killed him." It was a cold feeling he didn't want to believe that came out of this Subaru's mouth, but to kill the one that betrayed you and loved the most? There were also differences between this Subaru and his Subaru. The vampire shook his head, his brother isn't going to be coming back and there isn't any way he could protect him. He hated the feeling of helplessness, the feeling of that he couldn't do anything to help his Subaru before it's too late.
The older man look at him, he wasn't sure what to do but the look on this Kamui's face, reminds so much of his when he put himself in self-cationic state. His Kamui visited regularly and try to help him get out of his coma, it wasn't until the last day that he was able to with the help the spirit of Hokuto, but he died on that same day. Subaru, wasn't sure whether he would like to know what had this Kamui's Subaru had done to him but…
Subaru sighed, got up and hold the vampire close, allowing him to cry his bloodshed tears on him. This Kamui must have been through enough to suffer so much, and he wonders what would have his Kamui and this Kamui's Subaru would've done. Then again, it wouldn't get him anywhere with thinking like this. So he gently pried off the vampire's grip on his black turtle neck shirt, ignoring the shock going through him as he touched the vampire's cold hands and bent down to the vampire's level.
"You may not be my Kamui, and I may not be your Subaru, but I know that your Subaru wouldn't want you to mope around." Kamui blink, and blinked again before laughing bitterly. This is pure irony, I waited for three fucking years for Subaru to wake up and so we can leave, and yet…
"Kamui-san?" Subaru asked slightly alarmed, Kamui calmed down realizing that he is dealing with a human and older version of Subaru, and not his vampire twin.
"I'm sorry for scaring you, but your right it's just…I've been waiting for him three whole years to wake up. There were some circumstances, and after that we left. We were few dimensions ahead of that hunter," The vampire hissed out that word bitterly, " and it took only a few weeks to find us. My twin brother, Subaru, didn't want me to suffer the same fate of being caught, so he drugged me and sent me to this dimension." Blood tears kept coming, and suddenly Subaru knew who that hunter is, judging from the bitter tone from this Kamui.
"The reason we were running from our own dimension and from that hunter, is because that hunter hurt my twin and the rest of people we knew, are gone. I wanted to protect him for that hunter, but I guess the relationship between them is a love-hate one. I've should have know that he still loves him." And then suddenly, Subaru didn't want to know anymore because he knew what would most likely happen and he did the only thing that stop this Kamui from digging into a deeper hole of despair. Most likely without thinking, he kissed the vampire without fully thinking of what would come out of it. Amethysts eyes widen, the bloody tears stopped as the vampire had to remember that this Subaru isn't a vampire, but a human. Gentle as he can, making sure he wouldn't hurt this Subaru from pushing away too much and accidentally slamming him into the wall, he searched this Subaru's eye. Green reflected into his amethysts eyes, a possible future of what would have happen for if this Subaru's Kamui was still alive.
"Why?" Familiar black hair lay against his black cloth shoulder; Kamui fought his instinct not to bite into the older man's unprotected neck and listened to what he'll say.
"Because that is what he would've done to get you out, and that's what Kamui would've done to get me out of my coma if he didn't have a death sentence hanging over his head since birth." That calmed Kamui down a lot.
"You are very much like him, Sumeragi-san." The omnyoji shrugged at this, stood up, rolled up his sleeves and held out his arm to Kamui. Kamui blinked, looking at his arm before raising an eyebrow at him.
"You're a vampire, and you need blood. So drink." That made Kamui raised his eyebrow into his hairline before he softly snorted. He stood up and stalked up to Subaru in an elegant grace, the omnyoji stayed where he is, eye trained on him wary. Hands gripped on his shoulder as he forced to walked backwards, and sit down on the sofa. There wasn't anything on the vampire's lips, except perhaps a serious frown as Subaru's legs are in between his, Kamui leaned in to his ear, Subaru shivered at the cold air making in contact with his ear.
"Are you sure you know what you're putting yourself through? Because, you're going to become an 'E' for me, your lifespan would be lengthened, you'll live longer than your friends for a while, we'll both have a link, and you'll eventually belong to me." Subaru look at the young vampire, he may have look like his Kamui with that serious gaze when he is determined to save him and his other friends. But back then, he and the rest of the Dragons of Heaven and Earth didn't have much of choice as their path is already decided for them. He and his Kamui were able to, but it cost the both of them. For Subaru, his eye and the one he want to protect, and for Kamui, his family, his best friend Kotori, and his own life. Now, he was presented with a choice, he could become the food source for this Kamui so he could survive and both of them would try to pick up each other's lives and make something out of it or he can refuse it and help this Kamui find his brother and he'll give that twin a lecture, which would be weird and amusing to see.
"I'm sure." The vampire pulled away, no emotion on his face as his eyes turned to golden cat eyes, they reflect with hesitation and false hope.
"Once you agreed, there is no turning back."
"I already know."
"Good." Cold lips against his, they made his lips tingle as they move against his.
"I'll guide you, but you must understand you have to relax once I bite you." Kamui said as he whispered against his lips, hands massaging his shoulders gently, never minding the position they are both in. The vampire pulled down the omnyoji's white trench coat down gently as he continued to massage his shoulders, removing any muscle aches in the magician. Subaru sighed into the kiss and moaned. Seeing the opportunity, Kamui slid his tongue into his mouth, it was cold as Subaru shivered in pleasure as he pushed against the wet muscle with his, and danced with it. His hands on the young vampire's hips, gripped and the vampire groaned slightly. He pulled away, golden eyes hazed with lust before he moved to the omnyoji's neck. Kissing and light sucking, those cold feathery lips leaving tingles of pleasures as they moved. Subaru bit back a moan, and slightly growled at this, earning a smirk from Kamui.
The vampire drew lazy circles on his neck with his tongue, making Subaru moan quietly at this, either in cold or pleasure, the vampire didn't care. Finding the pulse point wasn't so hard, but Kamui didn't want to injure the man to much so he suck the skin, lightly nibbled somewhere near the older man's pulse and finally bit into it. Subaru's green eye widens and he tried to winced away, but the strong hands on his shoulder kept him from moving and he begin to feel the pleasure coming from the bite. His mind slightly in haze as Kamui sucks his blood out of his body.
The paralyzing venom makes it easier for Subaru to relax, as he began to massage the vampire's neck and his lower back gently. His own hands danced as they moved against the black clothed of the vampire's shirt, before finding an opening and made its way into the vampire's back. Leaving Kamui to purr and sighed, feeling those warm touches from the older man as he leaved those searing touches on his cold skin. Kamui is careful not to suck so much of the delicious blood out of the man as he hummed into the older man's neck, and after having his fill, he stop sucking and licked the wound. Closing the gap and licking away any traces of blood, leaving it only as a hickey before he kissed the Sumeragi's lips. Kamui's hand trailed down to the Sumeragi's arms, keeping focus on the warm lips against his own cold ones, the feeling of being complete and not complete is there.
Then this Subaru slid his own tongue into his own mouth, it was a daring move and Kamui retracted his fangs to the normal ones seen on human. Golden eyes glazed into violet ones, hazed with pleasure and lust, the hungry need slowly becoming unbearable, Kamui ground his lips slightly into the older man. A groan muffled in the kiss as Kamui let his own curious hands find the helm of the older man's shirt, sliding in, he left the cold touches on the older man's chest, left the man shivering for more. Breaking away for air concerning for the older man, Kamui observed the green eye darkening, those hands under Kamui's shirt left and he moaned in protest. Those hands reached his hips, pulled him down roughly on the older man's lap, and Kamui found he was once again being kissed throughly by the older man himself. Kamui let his own hands wander on the older man's chest, he felt one of the buds, touching it, teasing it, he could hear the older man gasp at this, surprised and that gasp turn into a moan for more.
There was something oddly pleasurable about this, whether it was making out with a vampire who is feeding off from him or himself tasting his own blood from the vampire's mouth, feeling the odd tang and metallic taste. He wonders if he is actually necrophilia, he inwardly shivered that thought. He rather not knows if he actually is because he wasn't sure if he could handle it. The vampire chuckle, and Subaru gave the undead teen a halfhearted glare, knowing the vampire heard his thoughts and is very much amused about it. ((A/N: Oh C'mon, who doesn't want to see this part coming. I leave it to you fans to figure out what would happen if TRC!Kamui met X!Fuma while being with X!Subaru))

Warming: I'm sorry if the characters are a bit OOCiness, but that's what made this one-shot more fun to write about. This one also, I have reasons. It got me thinking, if Subaru actually did die with Seishiro at Rainbow Bridge, then Kamui would be his successor in omnyoji. As a Sakurazukamori? That's a bit difficult to tell.
________________________________
"What is your wish?" A pair of mahogany eyes looks at the pair of twins with sorrow, one unconscious as he laid on the ground, the other one look at Yuuko with sad violet eyes, yet they are both in bad conditions.
"I wish for Subaru to be far away from that hunter, he has done enough harm on him and I don't think I can stand anymore and do nothing." Yuuko's eyes narrowed at this, certainly both twins are in bad conditions, but to have a wish for that.
"I will grant your wish, but this wish also has a price." Kamui look at her, determined.
"I know."
"Even if that price will make you stay here?" Kamui looked at his twin, hands clenched, he knew the price she was talking about, but for Subaru's safety and not to suffer anymore, he turned his attention to the Dimension Witch.
"Can I say goodbye first?" Yuuko nodded, Kamui took off his cloak and put it over his twin, tucking him in. His hand ghostly stroke his brother's cheek and he ghosted his lips on his twin's pale cheek.
"Sayonara, Subaru." He moved away from his twin's body and look at Yuuko.
"I'm ready."
"Then, your price is to take you're brothers place as that person that hunter is searching for." Kamui nodded, anything to keep his brother away from being hurt by that hunter again, he is willing to take Subaru's role.
"Very well." Yuuko sighed, her magic circle appeared under Subaru's body, and white ribbons hovered over the body.
"Ka..mui." Kamui swallowed, he wished for this to happen. White ribbons covered Subaru's entire body.
"Sorry, Subaru." The white ribbons pulled, the ground swallowed the white wrapped object, a flash, and Subaru's body is gone.
________________________________
Opening his flat door, Kamui closed it behind him before lying against it with a sigh. He is tired from the latest night job he had taken. He knew that taking up omnyojitsu requires a lot of mental strengths and shields, along with a strong heart and ability. But he never knew that it'll be this taxing, the client's manor is very much like hell. Accidents and suicides from the past 10 years had caused the house itself, well, have its own mind of its own due the built up spirits. All he wants to do now is take a shower, read some pages of Dan Brown's novel, 'Angels & Demons' before collapsing onto his bed. Throwing his gray trench coat onto his couch, he slowly trudged down the hallway to his room. Feeling a strong burst of magic, his amethysts eyes narrowed, before opening the door and switching the light switch on, he is suddenly glad that he isn't sharing his flat with anyone. Otherwise, how could he explain the situation presented in front of him.
Kamui stared at the body on his bed; he thinks his mind is playing tricks with him because the Subaru he knew died on Rainbow Bridge with the Sakurazukamori. He blamed himself for letting that happen, and even though he won and knowing Fuma's wish, it didn't help the fact that some of the people he grew to like and knew, are gone and it left an empty hole in him. So he took up omnyojistu as a reminder of Subaru, some of his friends pointed out that he is acting almost like him. He denied of course, and they agreed, because they already knew that Kamui will still be Kamui, nothing is going to change it, and hopefully not anytime soon.
He has a theory on how this Subaru got here, but he is willing to wait and listen from him. Kamui sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly, before he grabbed the First Aid Kit from the bathroom and tend to the wounds of this Subaru's body. Putting the First Aid Kit on the night stand, he took off the cloak and put it right next to this Subaru. As he put this Subaru on his back and propped him against the best post, he felt the cold skin on this Subaru's face. Eyes wide, and remembering the fact that this Subaru dressed differently, he pulled his hand a bit close to this Subaru's mouth to feel if this Subaru is breathing. Nothing, Kamui pushed the feeling of disappointment away and was about open this Subaru's lips apart to check when golden cat eyes opened. Kamui flinched away out of surprised; he looked at the wounds on this Subaru's body and they are healing, but very slowly.
Making a split second decision, Kamui, rolled up his white buttoned up shirt sleeve. He took out a scalpel knife from the First Aid, slit his wrist, enough to draw blood and held it to the vampire's mouth. Gold eyes flickered to green for a second.
"Ka…mui?" Kamui's amethysts eyes narrowed at this, did something happen to this Subaru's Kamui to make him this disoriented? Pushing that thought away, knowing it won't do well with the situation now. Kamui focused on what this Subaru need now, and that is making this Subaru drink his blood so his wounds can heal.
"Drink." Subaru only moaned in protest, amethysts eyes soften at this. Even though this Subaru isn't his Subaru, they are both stubborn.
"Drink, I'm not going anywhere." Kamui said softly to the vampire. "Either that or its going to be wasted." Finally, Subaru relented, open his mouth, close it on the wound and begin to suck the sweet liquid of life from him. It took an hour when Subaru's vision gotten better, that his golden eyes turned to green and he blink. Surprise that the Kamui in front of him, isn't his Kamui. This Kamui is dressed in a white buttoned up shirt, navy jeans, and he looks older, seventeen or eighteen he wondered.
"Are you done, Subaru-san?" Wide green eyes, he forgot that he was drinking blood from someone who isn't his Kamui, but someone who has the same taste in blood as his twin. He took the wrist gently away from his mouth. If he was human, he would've blushed in embarrassment. Blood trickle down this Kamui's arm, hypnotizing; he licked up the red trail and the wound made from the scalpel, making it close up.
"Sorry." This Kamui just shrug it off; examine his own wrist with a raise eyebrow, before letting it fall next to his sides.
"It's fine."
"Why?" Kamui raised an eyebrow at this, Subaru felt like a child when he saw this Kamui looking at him like that.
"Do I need a reason to save someone's life?" There was silence between them is eerily similar to the times Kamui spent with his Subaru.
"I'm not going to ask you to tell me the whole story and who you are. That's your choice and your own decision to decide when you want to tell me." Kamui said to him as he touched this Subaru's shoulder, and giving him a squeeze of reassurance that he can be trusted.
"Thank you." Kamui gives this Subaru a soft smile, and he wonders if he was like this when his Subaru first met him.
"You're welcome. I assume your name is Subaru, correct?" Subaru nodded.
"Well then, my name is Shirou Kamui, a pleasure to meet you're acquaintance, Subaru-san." Subaru look at him with surprise, seeing the soft smile on this Kamui's face, he gives back that soft smile to him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you to, Shirou-san."
________________________________
Green eyes open to the dark ceiling above him, he knew it was night, but he couldn't sleep. Subaru sat up from the bed with the sleeping clothes provided for him by this Kamui. He tried to remember when was the last time he ever been separated from his twin. Unfortunately, he can't recall and he tried to recall how on earth he ended up in this dimension. He closes his eyes, flashes of memories blurred into him, there was a man in a cherry blossom tree, happiness and a feeling of betrayal came with that memory. Blood soak to the ground, bodies lying on the ground, there was fire, lifeless the bodies burned, bodies disappearing into dust, his twin, his Kamui found him with eyes filled with relief but there were also worried. He could remember the feeling of pain and being lost, a blood tear trickle down. He wants his twin, his other half. Then he felt a familiar black cloth, he look down, eyes wide and he gulped nervously. This cloak, it belonged to Kamui, his Kamui, his hand trembled over the cloth and he gripped it. He pulled the cloth to his chest; his head buried in it and he smell the familiar scent of his twin, as if he is there with him. Like a little child, Subaru cried into the black cloak, he could never remember when he ever felt this alone. His door opened, soft rushed footsteps came close, the lamp on the night stand turned on, and he looked up. Green eyes stared into relief, calm, and something a bit sad in those amethysts eyes.
White shirt clung to his body slightly, black shorts, reading glasses perched on his nose. Water dripped slightly from his messy brown hair, yellow towel hanged around his neck, and amethysts eyes studied him. Then this Kamui sat right next to him and gathered him in his arms. The familiar scent of soap and something that belonged to his Kamui overwhelmed him as he cried into this Kamui's arms.
"You miss your Kamui, don't you?" Subaru nodded in his shoulder, hands rubbed his back in soothing circles.
"That's alright, I missed my Subaru often." Subaru stilled with eyes wide, his counterpart died in this world?
"Do you want me to stay here?" This Kamui asks, just like how his Kamui would've asked if he still have nightmares about him and Hokuto.
"Please." They stay like that for the whole night, allowing each other the comfort they needed. Kamui doesn't care the fact that his shirt is going to be bloody, but then he doesn't think his Subaru would've cared if he was in this position. Shaking out of the memories of his past, he delved his senses into the present and remind himself that it's best not to think too long of the past. As long as he is need by this Subaru, it didn't matter. Besides, it would've been what his Subaru would've done anyway. He softly smile, a chuckle form out of his lips, the vampire heard it and look at him confused.
"Shirou-san?" Comparing this Subaru to a kitten, a dangerous kitten, would make this Subaru either look at him incredulously or embarrassed, brushing off that thought, he softly thread the vampire's hair with his fingers.
"Nothing, just a passing thought. Now go to sleep, I won't be going anywhere anytime soon, Subaru." Kamui froze, the old name for his mentor just slipped passed him, but feeling the vampire nuzzling under his chin and arms wrapped around his torso forced him to relax. They can talk more tomorrow, turning off the lamp light; Kamui let himself fall into sleep, silently giving the vampire comfort.
The next morning, Kamui wished he gotten up earlier to fix breakfast for the both of them to prevent situations like this. His kitchen is in a mess, egg shells on the floor, burned scrambled eggs on the stoves, and flour everywhere with Subaru in the middle, covered in flour as well. Kamui knew he should've been angry, but seeing the vampire look like a kid who got caught having his hand in the cookie jar. His lips twitched before he started to laugh, he couldn't help it, and he really couldn't stop laughing. No matter what or whoever Subaru is in each dimension, not one of them can ever cook properly. Kamui once calm down his laughter to chuckles before smiling at Subaru who is still looking down with a downcast face. Kamui muses that when he was laughing, it felt foreign to him, and it made him feel a bit lighter, like a slight weight has been lifted off of him. Stepping over the crack egged shells; he walked over to the downcast vampire.
"C'mon let's get you clean up. Once we're done with that, let's clean up the mess before we got out and have something for breakfast." The vampire looks up at him in surprise a bit, and Kamui couldn't but softly chuckle. He wonders if he was ever like this around his Subaru's presence before he died. Brushing off the memories, he went into the hallway and came back with the towel, to try and clean up the vampire Subaru. Kamui himself, never let himself stray far off in his memories, but he always wonders, wishes and hopes that he could help Subaru, anyway he can. Somehow, this feels like he could something that he couldn't do when he was younger.

Omake: Drunk
((A/N: After the vampire Subaru got introduce with some of remaining Dragons of Heaven and Earth. From the one-shot, it'll be about given a month))
Coming back from work, Kamui blinks at how much of his living room smells a bit like alcohol mix, sake, and with something he rather not know. He blushes a bit; he erases that blush and looks at familiar faces helplessly. What he didn't expect is for the vampire Subaru to look up at him from where he is, slightly red, and then the vampire was in his arms. Clinging to him, his face nuzzling his neck, arms around him holding tight, a kiss on his neck, and saying that it's not a dream, over and over again. Know he knows he is blushing, he got rid of it and focuses on the task at hand and look at Karen who seems content, being in between with Yuuto and Kazuki.
"Karen-san?" Kamui asked tentatively, Karen looked up at him and smile at him with sympathy. In a black dress, her right hand held the red wine, Yuuto's slept against her shoulder while Kazuki on her leg, she softly stroke the biodroid's blonde hair.
"Technically with him being a vampire, he passed the age of drinking a very long time ago. Sorta and Arashi are using one of your guest bedrooms," Kamui's face then flame, and it isn't from the way the vampire is hugging him too close for comfort. Karen softly giggles at this, making sure not to disturb the sleeping men who decided to use her as a pillow. "Kusanagi took Yuzuriha home, Nataku-kun ended up being drunk due to Sorta's persuasion. Yuuto-kun stopped drinking, and decided to stay up with me to watch everybody. Somewhere in the middle, he'd fallen asleep on me." Karen said and Kamui could hear the affectionate tone for the water master as he slept against her shoulder, his suit slightly rumpled. Nataku in blue-white t-shirt and blue jeans, slept against her knee. Kamui, with his arms around the vampire hesitantly looks at hallway, and sighed before looking at Karen.
"Are you going to stay like, Karen-san?"
"Does it look like I can move without either of them falling over?" Karen asked amused, Kamui chuckles at this, blush down to red lines on his cheeks. He blinked at Karen who looked at him with shock.
"What?" Karen shook her head before smiling at Kamui.
"You haven't laughed for a very long time; it's sort of strange to hear it. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing, apparently Earth itself needs a laugh or two." Kamui look at her a bit stunned, before smiling softly. "Thanks, I'll see you in the morning then."
"You're welcome, Kamui-kun." Kamui nodded, he knew better than to ask questions when it comes to how they all ended up like this. Helping the vampire back to the guest room is very difficult when the teen doesn't seem want to let go of him, catching hold of his white buttoned up shirt, Kamui swallowed and tried not to remember his own memories.
"Kamui, please stay." Subaru said, asleep and Kamui smile sadly. Using his own will, he pushed against the memories from coming into his mind. Taking off his trench coat and putting it on the chair, he lay down next to the vampire teen and look at him sadly. The vampire, still asleep, nuzzled into him; wanting every comfort he could give. Then Kamui wrapped his arms around the vampire, letting his own eyes drift off before closing them.
"I'm not going anywhere, Subaru."
________________________________
Omake: What if
((A/N: In which if X!Subaru is still alive after the Rainbow Bridge Incident, but went into hiding. This would be somewhere in two months and not related to the previous one-shot))
Kamui stare in shock at who had come to his front door, pale with wide violet eyes as he stared at the older man in front of him. One sad green eye reflected back, the other, glass. Kamui felt his own strength weakened.
"Hello Kamui." Kamui's hand clenched on the door, his first instinct was to slam the door at the man in front of him. The second hug the man in relief and tried not to cry. The third is to scream obscenities at him for making him feel so much pain. He wanted to tell the man so much, how everything has changed and how he had changed without him around. Or rather, his Subaru wasn't around while the vampire Subaru is. The world around him, started to swirl, it felt like the ground underneath him has been lifted, and he blacked out. The vampire Subaru was going to ask Kamui if he can go out and buy some stationeries, and knowing that he is in the living room watching the new. He exited into the hallway from his guest room when he froze as he saw what was at the end of the hallway. A pair of mismatched eyes stared back at him in shock; the vampire first thought was that man in front of him is Seishiro and that he is holding Kamui, who is unconscious in his arms. His first emotion was a mix, anger and bittersweet. Then it came with protectiveness over this world's Kamui when he noticed the eye color and if anything, the vampire Subaru looked paler.
"Let's put him in his room, and then we'll talk." The vampire said as he controlled his voice, making it not waver as he walked over to take Kamui out of the man's arms. The older man narrowed his eyes at him and held Kamui closer.
"I don't trust you." The vampire's lips twitched, cold icy green eyes stared back at the man equally.
"Funny, neither do I." It was probably a weird feeling to go against your counterpart. The vampire gave up, but stayed close as he led the older man to Kamui's room.
"Where's your Kamui?" The vampire froze, and in a second swirled around, a long nail extended from his finger near the older man's neck. The older Subaru look at him unfazed as he stared into freezing golden cat like eyes.
"Have you met the Seishiro of this world yet?" The older Subaru's eyes widen at this before they started to narrow.
"And if I have?" The two counterparts stared at each other, not moving and not willing to back off.
"Then you would've understood that the reason my Kamui isn't here, was to save me, to get me far away. He replaced me as the person Seishiro is hunting for." The nail retracted, the vampire looked away and continues into the hallway of where Kamui's room is in. The older Subaru look at him, pale, before he looked down at his Kamui in his arms, he wasn't so sure of what would happen if his Kamui did that for him. He wouldn't dare to think of it as he followed his vampire self into Kamui's room, and laid his Kamui onto the bed. He glanced at the vampire, black Armani shirt with a short red tie, black slacks.
"They believed that you died. He believed that you died." It wasn't a statement; merely a fact, and yet there was hint of resentment in the vampire's voice.
"I know, I never thought I've caused so much pain to him."
"I'm not going to ask you to tell me the whole story and who you are. That's your choice and your own decision to decide when you want to tell us. That's what Shirou-san said to me when he found me in his room, unconscious."
"Did you tell him of what happened to your Kamui?" Green eyes look at him, sadly and yet very familiar.
"One would say, he already knows what happen to my twin."
"I have to go." Green eyes look at him surprised before they narrowed at him in anger.
"If you go, he'll be more upset that you left without saying goodbye." The vampire would've said more, but he saw the bitter sweet smile on the older man's face.
"Even though he will, he has you." Subaru knew it wasn't in his nature to glare at the man, but his older counterpart hurt this Kamui.
"I am not a replacement."
"And neither is he." Those words made the vampire look away; he knows that it's the truth.
"So why are you leaving him after saying hello?"
"Because he doesn't need me anymore." The older man left, and the vampire was left a bit confused on what to do and angry for the older Subaru for disappear. When Kamui woke up, he looked slightly lost.
"Shirou-san?" Amethysts eyes flickered to the vampire, he sadly smiled at the vampire before gesturing him to sit next to him. The vampire hesitates before obeying, he didn't move away when Kamui wrapped arms around him nor did he move away when he started to crying on his shoulder.
"Just call me Kamui, just for today." He nodded, he wants to return this Kamui's kindness when he let him hold on to him for the first week he been in this dimension, and a week ago. It's what this Kamui's Subaru would've wanted, and it's what his Kamui would've wanted. If possible, this Kamui will be his Kamui, and he will be this Kamui's Subaru, even if it's temporary.

Violet eyes meet violet eyes, in shock and surprise. Same soul, same desire to protect those they care, and yet different. One of them wore black jacket and pants, outlined with red, and his chest is splashed with red. The other, wore something that look like out of the centuries, something out of the history book and gothic. The only difference between them, one has the ability to turn his violet eyes into golden cat eyes and extend long nails when threatened or angry, the other has long bat wings and cursed by his birth.
“Do you have something I should call you?”
“Shirou, it’s my last name.”
“Right.”
“So Kamui-san, what are you doing here in a dream?” Violet eyes blinked at the other one, and shrug, he doesn’t remember how.
“What about you, Shirou-san?” There is something akin to lost in the newly dubbed “Shirou’s” eyes.
“I was always here.” It is a vague answer, but the vampire could tell it has something to do with the blood on him.
“Don’t you have anyone to look after?” A bitter smile on Shirou’s lips, and shook his head.
“Not anymore.” That answer chilled the vampire’s bones, and he hesitantly asked the next.
“Why?”
“What’s there to protect when you are already dead?” Violet eyes widen at this.
“Am I?” Shirou shook his head; he walked over to the vampire. His bat like wings folded together, and he is in within reach of the vampire.
“No, you’re not dead if you are wondering. I’ve chose to die, because I want to protect those I’ve care about.” Shirou stares at the vampire with a small mischievous smile. Kamui seeing this, felt somehow in the later action, has something to do with him.
“You too, have someone you’re wanted and continue to protect. I’m guessing it’s someone with green eyes and black hair, right?” Kamui is stunned at this. Shirou smirked and leaned into close, lips hover slightly over the vampire’s cold lips as he shivered from the feeling of the warm breath on his lips.
“I’ll help, if you allow me to be housed within your body. It’ll be taxing, but it’ll also be easier.” Not hearing the reply, Shirou sealed the deal with the kiss. That’s when Kamui woke up with a start from his bed. He looked beside him and relaxed, Subaru, his twin, is sleeping, unaware of the dream he had dreamt.
Was that even real? He heard a soft chuckling in the back of his mind, the feeling of ghostly arms wrapped around him.
Hm, you know. I’m not so sure myself. Then the voice faded into the back of his mind, the ghostly arms felt as if they weren’t there, he rubbed his forehead tiredly, maybe it’s just his imagination.

________________________________
Hearing the shout of the girl's name, the twins turn their attention to outside. Although a bit worse for wear and being injured, the princess made it back with the price. Subaru's eyes glance at his twin to see his body lessened mildly, but tensed at the smell of her blood when she is brought inside the building. Subaru smile at this, though Kamui may not show it and is now displaying the emotion of annoyance and calm, he is a worried about the girl and the fact that Seishiro might come to this world anytime soon. Once the conversation with the Dimension Time Witch is over, everybody went to rest for preparing of what might come tomorrow.
After changing into cleaner clothes and cleaning off the blood on her skin, Sakura went to one of the beds she was designated to, she could still hear the drops of the acidic rain from outside but her mind is elsewhere. It replays the events of what happened earlier with her Syaoran going rogue, along with the vision she had earlier. Shaking her head, she dispel such thoughts from her mind, even though her Syaoran is out there; she, Mokona, Fai, Kurograne and the Original Syaoran will find a way and bring him back. Hearing a knock on the door, she let the person on the other side of the door to come in. Subaru's head popped in from side of the door, and Sakura suspects that Kamui is somewhere close by, watching and guarding.
"You can't sleep?" Subaru ask softly, before coming in to the room. Sakura shook her head in no, if she were to sleep, she would remember the events that happen in this world. It makes her heart ache, at knowing of the fact that her Syaoran went up and left them. Subaru smiled sadly at her, knowing the feeling all too well with the incident of Seishiro betraying him and drinking his blood. Though Sakura is the princess, she couldn't ignore the fact that Subaru have a surrounding loneliness around his heart nor the other people here, even though he has a twin with him to keep him company. Sakura stood up from her bed, walked towards Subaru and hugged him. Confused, stunned, and a little bit of worry, not to mention the fear of drinking her blood when she is this close him, his doubts vanished when he heard her talking, her head on his dark clothed shoulder.
"Sometimes, it’s hard to know who to trust even though you've been with them for a very long time. Even then, their hearts are still undecided but their mind chooses their desires. Don't worry, have hope and everything is going to be alright. No matter what the outcome the future will present." Subaru stilled, and due to being a vampire, his hearing is better than any humans when he heard Kamui's breath hitched. Those words, were the last from Hokuto before saying goodbye. By now, Kamui went into the room and leaned against the wall, not to surprise to see them hugging. Kamui knew they both need comfort because of the recent and past occurrences. Kamui barely heard what Sakura said next that made him smirk at Subaru, who looked bashful a bit, if he were human, he would have blushed.
"I want to say thank you, both of you. For trying to help me and saving Fai, it’s all I can hope for." What the twins didn't expect is Sakura kissed Subaru's cheek, lets him go, proceed to go a few feet from Kamui, and smiled at him. She took his hand and caressed it gently, and it glowed pink, Sakura whispered low enough for Kamui to hear. To the twins, none of them felt this awkward before. So once they said good nights to each other, Subaru looked a bit dazed and Kamui's face is blanked and a bit worried because he kept glancing back at that door Sakura is in.
Once it’s time for Sakura's group to leave, the people that were left behind looked at the sky, unaware that Kamui and Subaru are gone. Fuma noticed, but kept silent. Kamui looked at his twin, obviously there is something that bother's his brother's brain.
"Kamui?"
"Hm?"
"If given a chance.." His brother trailed off the sentence; Kamui looks at Subaru sadly before activating the seals to travel.
"I know, but we have to continue running." Kamui's hand, the one that Sakura touched, clenched.

"There are no what ifs and what could have happen, those are wistful thinking, however that’s what make a person dream, it is also create wishes and people continue on wishing them. But...some of those wishes, cannot be granted, even if you wish hard enough, however the future can be changed. And so therefore, I'm going to give you part of my good luck." Kamui's eyes widened at this when he heard the sad emotion in her voice, Sakura knew she was going to die.
"You knew that..." Kamui stopped talking when he saw the sad smile on her face, but her eyes are shining with wisdom and hope.
"The people I care about, gives me strength for me to protect them. If we were to prevent Fei Wong Reed's wish, and to be able to continue and move on into the future, and prevent from dream to ever come to reality, that's what makes my wish worthwhile." Kamui wonders why he is affected by her words, perhaps they were the ones that Kotori said to him long ago, or perhaps they hit a nerve, but whatever it was, there is probably a world where both he and Subaru can be with Sakura and protect her, however that still didn't calm down his worry about the princess's and her group of traveler's next destination.
