Shorts and Shots: Clamp's Collection Pt.IX The last part of Clamp's Collection
The surprise, 'Shorts and Shots' first batch is finally finished. *Jumps for joy* This took a month to finish, which, I'm finally glad I was able to finish it off. So here it is.
Title: Shorts and Shots: Clamp's Collection Pt. IX
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 IX is sort of half NC-17 and half T. On No. 29. it's NC-17 due to lots of blood, a bit of literature devices, and in No.30., it's T with humor. Just to soften the last part of 'Clamp's Collection'
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 different parts and then connecting them together.
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:

Title: Dark Kamui vs Subaru for Kamui. - The title may be amusing, but it's not.
Pairings: Dark!Sadistic!Kamui x Soulless!Kamui; Subaru x Kamui
Other Pairings: Slight Seishiro x Subaru; Slight Fuma x Kamui
Category: X/1999, Manga. xXxHolic - Reference
Rating: M - Torture by piano wires.
Genre: Drama, Horror, Romance, Hurt/Comfort, a small dash of Humor
Warming: I'm sorry if the characters are a bit OOCiness, but that's what made this shot more fun to write about. The thought of Dark Kamui might do something on the Promised Day near the ending of the battle, came on to my mind. Not to mention it'll be fun to write a bit of Possessive!X!Subaru in this.
________________________________
He did it, he won and without killing Fuma. Violet eyes stare at nothing, blank and dull from where he is, Kamui's wish is granted. The new Sakruazukamori reached him, his mismatched eyes widen at the state Kamui is in. Unresponsive, and unmoving, the wish for the Earth and humans to survive; has already been granted so why did Kamui remained still. Subaru's eyes narrowed as his hands move to touch Kamui in order to see any reaction when Kamui's hand caught his. Void and cold violet eyes stare back at him with a cruel smile.
"If you're looking for him, he is with me. He can't hear you, see you, or feel you, as long as I binded him tight in his own heart."
"Who are you?" Subaru asked, he already know that answer.
"Why, you were one of us after you betrayed him and them. Did you forget me already?"
"Dark Kamui." The cruel smile gone into a cruel smirk, Subaru continued to glare at Kamui's dark side.
"Bing bong that is correct, too bad you should've realized beforehand to know what you were getting into. He is really such a beautiful creature." Dark Kamui said as he sang song. A scowl on Subaru's face, there is no way Kamui would let his dark side take over.
"Let him go." Dark Kamui raised an eyebrow, he pretends to hum thoughtfully before he smirks, and icy violet eyes stare at the Sakurazukamori.
"No, if you want him. You'll have to fight me for him." Dark Kamui said with a malicious grin, undeterred, Subaru slapped an ofuda on the teen's forehead, and made him fall into an unconscious state of sleep. Subaru frowned, if he wants the Kamui he knows, the gentle and selfless Kamui back, he will have to dive into Kamui's mind. Again.
"You really don't make this easy, Kamui." Kamui didn't answer, and Subaru knelt down and started to chant the forbidden spell. Diving into Kamui's mind was rather nostalgic, and less difficult as the dragons moved away. They watched him suspiciously, but they wouldn't attack, knowing that it was the same person before who help their master. When Subaru reached to the darkest part of Kamui's heart, he froze and paled. Tied and being hanged in the air suspended, with piano wires wrapped around him tight, is Kamui, eyes closed and bleeding. Dark Kamui appeared close to Kamui, with the white wings that Fuma originally have. He looked like an exact copy of Kamui. He wore a dark smirk on his lips as he noticed Subaru; as if welcoming a little lamb into the mouth of a wolf.
"Welcome to Kamui's heart, what do you think of my masterpiece? My beautiful and latest work of art, he's so beautiful when he bleeds, don't you think?" Dark Kamui said as he fingered Kamui's chin up, Kamui's eyes, they opened slightly revealing glazed and lack of light. Dark Kamui licks off the blood from Kamui's neck. Kamui remained unresponsive.
"Let go off him." Subaru growled, Dark Kamui moved away and look at him annoyed. Hands rose from the ground and gripped the Sakurazukamori in place.
"If you care so much of him, why did you abandon him then?" A slow malicious smirk came on the Dark Kamui as he holds Kamui possessively as if he was a doll for him. Subaru glared at him harder, Dark Kamui looks at him in amusement.
"Oh did I hit a nerve? I'm sorry." Dark Kamui said in mock apology as he put his head on Kamui's shoulder.
"You know, Kamui didn't want to hurt you. He rather that the Promised Day won't come, or that you won't be there if he dies." A possessive smirk on Dark Kamui's lips as he lick more blood off Kamui. "A rather admirable feat, but he should've known in order to kill me; he has to kill his own heart." Subaru's eyes widen at this.
"Oh wait, you and that Fuma kid already did that on him, and now he is my puppet, my sweet toy." Subaru tried to move to pry Dark Kamui's hands off Kamui, but the hands held him in place as he watched.
"And guess what, words are knifes as well. Say 'You can't do this' to yourself, that is your own restraint, you can take them off easily. But if those words are from another, then you can't take them off. That's what these wires represent, they'll squeeze tighter if the words hit hard, and they made my Kamui so beautiful like he is now." Dark Kamui purred as he nuzzled into Kamui's neck, Subaru look at Dark Kamui disgusted.
"And that's how the previous Sakurazukamori did to you, Sakurazukamori-san." Subaru paled at this. Dark Kamui look up and snickered in his twisted amusement.
"You didn't know? He led you through, spoke lies to make you fall in love with him. It worked so perfectly, that your predecessor didn't know that he has fallen as well. When the deadline of the bet came, he decided to kill you since you've lost. What he didn't expect was that your beloved twin came in place of you, knowing what he is doing and who he is."
"Stop." Dark Kamui's smile turned bigger.
"She took it to the grave, and cast a curse on him, that if he were to kill you, you'll be the one to kill him."
"Enough." And then Dark Kamui started to laugh at the omnyoji and Sakurazukamori, not letting go off Kamui in his grasp.
"He must be so desperate to kill you, that he wanted to die to atone the crime he had done to you, because of how much he hurt in you the past."
"SHUT UP! Don't talk Seishiro-san and Hokuto-chan that way!" Dark Kamui blink, looked at him annoyed, before looking at Kamui and grinned in bloodlust as he watched the piano wires tightened the hold on Kamui, making him bleed more. Subaru looked horrified at this.
"Oh yes, I forgot to mention. This Kamui here contains the heart, the Kamui you know. Physically, he isn't bleeding this much and would've died by now from those wounds. Mentally, however is a different story, one that I've decided to be very generous to explain to you. Did you know that if Kamui bleeds more in his heart, his heart, figuratively, will die along with him," Dark Kamui insanely grinned at him. "And if he dies, he becomes soulless, allowing me to take over and he'll become mine. Kamui's heart itself is very special, it grows for those he cares, and for those he loves. His own heart, never loved me, but his heart is so vast that he could feel the pain coming from the people he cares the most, especially yours." Kamui's dark side said that last sentence, punching those words into Subaru. The Sakurazukamori pulled himself free off the hands and started to run towards the two Kamuis, he already knew how much pain he had put Kamui through, but he didn't know it would be this bad. Dark Kamui look at him in surprise before it twisted into amusement and he whistled.
"You must be really persistent to get him to wake up, and for that, I can't let you interfere." Piano wires sprang and took hold of the Sakurazukamori, he struggled, but only felt the piano wires dug deeper.
"Careful, if you struggle more. Kamui would be sad to see you die in front of him." The Sakurazukamori gave the Dark Kamui a nasty glare and Dark Kamui crackles.
"Just watch the show." Dark Kamui moved away from Kamui to the front of him. Subaru, knowing what Dark Kamui is about to do, and not for the first time, is scared for Kamui.
"Su..ba..ru." Kamui whispered faintly, Dark Kamui frowned and tched, a slow cold and amused smile spread on him.
"The Subaru you know is long gone, he is killed by the new Subaru." Dark Kamui said as he whispered into Kamui's ear.
"No." Kamui whimpered weakly, and pulling a soothing face and a false kind smile, Dark Kamui make Kamui look up at him. Unfocused eyes look back at the cold ones.
"Then you don't deny he abandoned you?" What's left of the light in Kamui's eyes, faded into dullness, and Dark Kamui stroke Kamui's cheek possessively as he watch in amusement that spark faded.
"I'll never abandoned him!" Dark Kamui shot an annoyed face at the Sakurazukamori before looking at Kamui.
"He is lying, he never cared for you." Kamui didn't answer.
"You are cursed, my beloved doll. I'm the only one that can understand you."
"He's lying!" Dark Kamui rolled his eyes, annoying humans.
"His predecessor took him away from you, Fuma took Kotori's life, Hinoto's dark side manipulated everyone from the start. Make him pay for hurting you, make them pay for taking away your loved ones, make those who created this day, pay and allow me to merge with you." Dark Kamui burst into a dark shadow ball and it flew into Kamui. The piano wires disappeared as they laid Kamui slowly onto the ground, wounds on his body faded, sealed up by that shadow. Piano wires faded from Subaru's side as they untangled, wheeled away, and in a hurry he stood near Kamui's prone form. Cautiously he is about to reach over when cold pools of violet opened, empty at feeling nothing, Kamui got up. The holy sword appeared in his hands as he look at Subaru as if he didn't recognize him.
"Kamui?"
"He told me, that you killed Subaru. I should kill you before you hurt anyone else." Eyes wide, he dodged the slashes to avoid being hit by the sword. Dying in a person's mind is equal to dying in the real world.
"Kamui, listen to me. That was Dark Kamui, he is controlling you." He duck from an upper cut, and moved away a thrust.
"Lies." Subaru didn't winced when he felt the sword pierced his left bicep.
That's right, torture him. Corner him like a trapped animal he is. Make him bleed for making you feel all this pain.
"Yes, master." Kamui echoed robotically as he increased his speed to harm the Sakurazukamori. It took awhile, but Kamui managed to corner Subaru into a corner.
That's right, finish him and he'll give the Subaru you know back! Kamui step back, Subaru's body had cuts and he is bleeding a bit as he look at Kamui. The Dragon of Heaven's leader positioned his sword an inch away from Subaru's chest where the heart is located. He pulled the sword back a bit, ready to plunged it straight in. Subaru closed his eyes in resignation.
"If you wish to kill me, Kamui, then I let you grant it." Finish him now! Kamui plunged the sword down. Subaru opens his eyes, when he felt nothing, he looks at Kamui. Eyes calm and sad, Subaru watch as Kamui look at him with dull violet eyes. The sword itself stopped centimeters away from his own chest.
"Why? I wanted to hurt you so much from the pain you've cause me, and yet why can't I bring myself to kill you?" Tears build up in Kamui's eyes as he lowered his head to look away, his hands trembling as they hold the sword in place. Subaru look at him softly, with relief and slight hope that Kamui he knows is still in there. Kamui is struggling.
"Kamui…"
What are you doing? Finish him off! Isn't this what you wanted? To make him feel the pain that he inflicted on you! Kamui ignored the voice as he threw away the sword from the both of them and collapsed on his knees. The holy sword dispersed into golden balls and they flew away. Soulless violet eyes stare at Subaru, tears slid down to his chin, and they dripped down to the dark ground.
"Why? Why can't I bring myself to kill you after all the hate I build up to face you and save Fuma?" Subaru didn't answer as he slowly sat up, ignoring the wounds he has, and pulled Kamui to him.
"It's because you can't bear to hurt someone that you love so much." A hand trembled as it reached and clung to Subaru's black trench coat.
"Su...ba...ru" Kamui's voice is weak, but it is there, Kamui is still there, Subaru pulled him closer, arms tightening around Kamui.
"I'm so sorry for hurting you when I never realized it." Kamui's eyes closed and he collapsed, Dark Kamui snarled and hissed at his loss as he disappeared. Kamui let Subaru hold him, too tired to move as Subaru is the one who needs comforting.
__________________________________
Kamui felt his own eyes opens as they stared at the white ceiling, he sat up and stared at the bandages wrapped around his wrists and fingers. He blinks when he felt someone tall, wrapped his arms around him, head on his shoulder. He blinks and looks around to see his friends smiling at him in relief, crying for him.
"What happened?" He blinks when Subaru pulled away, a slight sad smile on his face.
"We've won. You fell into coma, you've saved Fuma and everyone." Kamui blinks again, barely registering the fact that the Promised Day has passed. He look at Subaru's eyes, one gold the other green, and he smiles in relief. That smile replaced into a genuine one.
"Good." He said tiredly, he didn't get a chance to do anything as Yuzuriha glomped him, followed by Sorta, Karen, and Yuuto. Their weight is too much and he collapsed on his back. He laughs for the first time, happy that he was able to do it. Once they got off of him, Kamui sat up with the help of the Sakurazukamori. His eyes turned to Fuma who gave him a small apologetic smile. Fuma walked over and ruffled his hair.
"Don't apologize of what you weren't able to do, but thanks for saving me. It's what Kotori would have wanted." Kamui gave him a small smile.
"You're welcome." A mischievous grin on Fuma, and Kamui paled at that look, he knew that look.
"I think I should give you something before you're friend over there blows a gasket." Fuma kissed him on the cheek, blushing in embarrassment, Kamui's face glow a deeper red when he felt an arm wrapped around him possessively. Fuma moved away with a grin and he quickly ducked to avoid being impaled by a sharpened pencil. The pencil itself, is embedded into the white wall, tenth of it is in deep. Everyone blinked at this.
"Right that is my cue to leave. So see ya around, Kamui-kun." Fuma said cheerily as he went out the door with a smile. Subaru glared at the door, before he is interrupted from the person he is holding.
"Subaru, is something wrong?" Subaru looked down as innocent and curious amethysts eyes looked up at him, his face soften marginally at the teen with him. Taking their cue, the others left, leaving the both of them in private. Once they were gone, Subaru allowed himself to bury his face into the teen's chocolate locks of hair.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kamui hesitated, and reached up to run his fingers through Subaru's raven hair.
"It's because I don't want you to worry, I didn't want you to have any more on your plate than it already is." That arm tightened as it was joined by another, holding him there.
"Then you shouldn't hide it, I already told you that you shouldn't worry about me." Kamui let out a gentle smile on his face.
"I don't think I can, when I tried, my mind is always on you. Even during the event on the Promised Day, it's just kept on coming." Subaru in reply nibbled his ear, making Kamui flush red at this.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize for something that you can't prevent, as long as you-" Kamui's chin is pulled up gently, his face flamed red as he felt lips on his. In dazed, he look when the Sakurazukamori pulled away with a frown.
"Please do not quote what your best friend had said." Kamui blink, and slowly smile before letting out a chuckle.
"I'll try not to."

Kamui blinked, and stared. The Sakurazukamori who was nearby, conveniently, did the same as they stare at the principal of Clamp Campus.
"You're joking." Nokoru look at the both of them annoyed.
"I'm not." Kamui paled, and rushed to the door with the Sakurazukamori behind him, who followed curiously. Kamui opened the door, and froze. Seishiro who look over the Dragon of Heaven's shoulder, blinks in shock. The thirteenth head of the Sumeragi Clan had shrunk into a kid as he stared at the people who came in with big innocent green eyes..
"I'm not going to ask how," Kamui said and his hand clenched at the door knob. "but Imonoyama-san, may I ask why does it concern the Sakurazukamori here?" Seishro just gives a smile while Kamui glared at him. Nokoru looked at them both sheepishly.
"Well you see, unfortunately, Sumeragi-san lost his memories when the accident happened, so in order for him to remember who he actually is or was." Nokoru looked down went he felt his pants leg being tugged; he bent down and picked up the chibified omnyoji in his arms. "Sakurazuka-san is going to help because he is the last lead to Subaru's past before he met you, Shiro-san, other than the current twelfth head of the Sumeragi Clan. Sakurazuka-san happens to be close by, while the current head is in Kyoto." Kamui sighed in defeat before looking at innocent green eyes with a soft smile. Kamui selfishly wanted to take care of Subaru alone, but knowing that if he wants Subaru to remember who he is, he will need the Sakurazukamori's help on this. Pushing away that selfish want, he held out his arms to Subaru, as if Subaru is studying him, Subaru leaned forward. His small hands reached Kamui's arms, and let Kamui pulled him close. That's when Kamui remembered, that Sorta is right about him being a good house wife.
"You really do make a good house wife, Kamui-kun." Kamui's corner of his mouth, twitched at Seishiro's remark, as he glared at Seishiro with a angry blush on his cheeks. Seishiro smirk in amusement, it seems ruffling the Dragons of Heaven's Kamui's feathers is very entertaining. Nokoru held in his snickers, probably a wise choice. That's when chibified Subaru decided to voice out something interesting.
"Kamui-niisan?" Instantly, Kamui look at the chibi Subaru with full attention.
"Yes, Subaru?"
"Are you and Seishiro-oyaji are married?" Kamui choked and flushed red. Nokoru burst out in uncontrollable laughter, and Seishiro, look at the chibified Subaru with surprise and shock before a slow amused grin appear on him.
"Why yes. We are definitely-" Lightning fast, Kamui covered the assassin's mouth with his hand before he said anything anymore embarrassing or rather something damaging to the chibi Subaru. Kamui's violet eyes widen as he slowly realized whose mouth his hand is covering. Seishiro pulled his hand away from his mouth and bend closer to Kamui to whisper into Kamui's ear teasingly.
"I didn't that you'll be this aggressive, dear. It's such a turn on, this makes things a lot more enjoyable in bed as well." Kamui's left eye twitched, he knew he is severely blushing from embarrassment because of Sakurazukamori's comment. Out of nowhere, a mallet came out of his sleeve and into his hand, he pulled his own hand away roughly and hit Seishiro with the mallet hard into the wall. Nokoru winced, knowing that's got to hurt a lot. Kamui still blushing a bit, play with the chibified Subaru, something to keep his mind from going back to that comment.

Unresponsive, and unmoving, the wish for the Earth and humans to survive; has already been granted so why did Kamui remained still.

"If you're looking for him, he is with me. He can't hear you, see you, or feel you, as long as I binded him tight in his own heart."
"Who are you?" Subaru asked, he already know that answer.
"Why, you were one of us after you betrayed him and them. Did you forget me already?"
"Dark Kamui." The cruel smile gone into a cruel smirk, Subaru continued to glare at Kamui's dark side.

When the deadline of the bet came, he decided to kill you since you've lost. What he didn't expect was that your beloved twin came in place of you, knowing what he is doing and who he is."
"Stop." Dark Kamui's smile turned bigger.
"She took it to the grave, and cast a curse on him, that if he were to kill you, you'll be the one to kill him."
"Enough." And then Dark Kamui started to laugh at the omnyoji and Sakurazukamori, not letting go off Kamui in his grasp.
"He must be so desperate to kill you, that he wanted to die to atone the crime he had done to you, because of how much he hurt in you the past."
"SHUT UP! Don't talk Seishiro-san and Hokuto-chan that way!" Dark Kamui blink, looked at him annoyed, before looking at Kamui and grinned in bloodlust as he watched the piano wires tightened the hold on Kamui, making him bleed more. Subaru looked horrified at this.
"Oh yes, I forgot to mention. This Kamui here contains the heart, the Kamui you know. Physically, he isn't bleeding this much and would've died by now from those wounds. Mentally, however is a different story, one that I've decided to be very generous to explain to you. Did you know that if Kamui bleeds more in his heart, his heart, figuratively, will die along with him," Dark Kamui insanely grinned at him. "And if he dies, he becomes soulless, allowing me to take over and he'll become mine. Kamui's heart itself is very special, it grows for those he cares, and for those he loves. His own heart, never loved me, but his heart is so vast that he could feel the pain coming from the people he cares the most, especially yours." Kamui's dark side said that last sentence, punching those words into Subaru. The Sakurazukamori pulled himself free off the hands and started to run towards the two Kamuis, he already knew how much pain he had put Kamui through, but he didn't know it would be this bad. Dark Kamui look at him in surprise before it twisted into amusement and he whistled.
"You must be really persistent to get him to wake up, and for that, I can't let you interfere." Piano wires sprang and took hold of the Sakurazukamori, he struggled, but only felt the piano wires dug deeper.
"Careful, if you struggle more. Kamui would be sad to see you die in front of him." The Sakurazukamori gave the Dark Kamui a nasty glare and Dark Kamui crackles.
"Just watch the show." Dark Kamui moved away from Kamui to the front of him. Subaru, knowing what Dark Kamui is about to do, and not for the first time, is scared for Kamui.
"Su..ba..ru." Kamui whispered faintly, Dark Kamui frowned and tched, a slow cold and amused smile spread on him.
"The Subaru you know is long gone, he is killed by the new Subaru." Dark Kamui said as he whispered into Kamui's ear.
"No." Kamui whimpered weakly, and pulling a soothing face and a false kind smile, Dark Kamui make Kamui look up at him. Unfocused eyes look back at the cold ones.
"Then you don't deny he abandoned you?" What's left of the light in Kamui's eyes, faded into dullness, and Dark Kamui stroke Kamui's cheek possessively as he watch in amusement that spark faded.
"I'll never abandoned him!" Dark Kamui shot an annoyed face at the Sakurazukamori before looking at Kamui.
"He is lying, he never cared for you." Kamui didn't answer.
"You are cursed, my beloved doll. I'm the only one that can understand you."
"He's lying!" Dark Kamui rolled his eyes, annoying humans.
"His predecessor took him away from you, Fuma took Kotori's life, Hinoto's dark side manipulated everyone from the start. Make him pay for hurting you, make them pay for taking away your loved ones, make those who created this day, pay and allow me to merge with you." Dark Kamui burst into a dark shadow ball and it flew into Kamui. The piano wires disappeared as they laid Kamui slowly onto the ground, wounds on his body faded, sealed up by that shadow. Piano wires faded from Subaru's side as they untangled, wheeled away, and in a hurry he stood near Kamui's prone form. Cautiously he is about to reach over when cold pools of violet opened, empty at feeling nothing, Kamui got up. The holy sword appeared in his hands as he look at Subaru as if he didn't recognize him.
"Kamui?"
"He told me, that you killed Subaru. I should kill you before you hurt anyone else." Eyes wide, he dodged the slashes to avoid being hit by the sword. Dying in a person's mind is equal to dying in the real world.
"Kamui, listen to me. That was Dark Kamui, he is controlling you." He duck from an upper cut, and moved away a thrust.
"Lies." Subaru didn't winced when he felt the sword pierced his left bicep.
That's right, torture him. Corner him like a trapped animal he is. Make him bleed for making you feel all this pain.
"Yes, master." Kamui echoed robotically as he increased his speed to harm the Sakurazukamori. It took awhile, but Kamui managed to corner Subaru into a corner.
That's right, finish him and he'll give the Subaru you know back! Kamui step back, Subaru's body had cuts and he is bleeding a bit as he look at Kamui. The Dragon of Heaven's leader positioned his sword an inch away from Subaru's chest where the heart is located. He pulled the sword back a bit, ready to plunged it straight in. Subaru closed his eyes in resignation.
"If you wish to kill me, Kamui, then I let you grant it." Finish him now! Kamui plunged the sword down. Subaru opens his eyes, when he felt nothing, he looks at Kamui. Eyes calm and sad, Subaru watch as Kamui look at him with dull violet eyes. The sword itself stopped centimeters away from his own chest.
"Why? I wanted to hurt you so much from the pain you've cause me, and yet why can't I bring myself to kill you?" Tears build up in Kamui's eyes as he lowered his head to look away, his hands trembling as they hold the sword in place. Subaru look at him softly, with relief and slight hope that Kamui he knows is still in there. Kamui is struggling.
"Kamui…"
What are you doing? Finish him off! Isn't this what you wanted? To make him feel the pain that he inflicted on you! Kamui ignored the voice as he threw away the sword from the both of them and collapsed on his knees. The holy sword dispersed into golden balls and they flew away. Soulless violet eyes stare at Subaru, tears slid down to his chin, and they dripped down to the dark ground.
"Why? Why can't I bring myself to kill you after all the hate I build up to face you and save Fuma?" Subaru didn't answer as he slowly sat up, ignoring the wounds he has, and pulled Kamui to him.
"It's because you can't bear to hurt someone that you love so much." A hand trembled as it reached and clung to Subaru's black trench coat.
"Su...ba...ru" Kamui's voice is weak, but it is there, Kamui is still there, Subaru pulled him closer, arms tightening around Kamui.
"I'm so sorry for hurting you when I never realized it." Kamui's eyes closed and he collapsed, Dark Kamui snarled and hissed at his loss as he disappeared. Kamui let Subaru hold him, too tired to move as Subaru is the one who needs comforting.

Kamui felt his own eyes opens as they stared at the white ceiling, he sat up and stared at the bandages wrapped around his wrists and fingers. He blinks when he felt someone tall, wrapped his arms around him, head on his shoulder. He blinks and looks around to see his friends smiling at him in relief, crying for him.
"What happened?" He blinks when Subaru pulled away, a slight sad smile on his face.
"We've won. You fell into coma, you've saved Fuma and everyone." Kamui blinks again, barely registering the fact that the Promised Day has passed. He look at Subaru's eyes, one gold the other green, and he smiles in relief. That smile replaced into a genuine one.
"Good." He said tiredly, he didn't get a chance to do anything as Yuzuriha glomped him, followed by Sorta, Karen, and Yuuto. Their weight is too much and he collapsed on his back. He laughs for the first time, happy that he was able to do it. Once they got off of him, Kamui sat up with the help of the Sakurazukamori. His eyes turned to Fuma who gave him a small apologetic smile. Fuma walked over and ruffled his hair.
"Don't apologize of what you weren't able to do, but thanks for saving me. It's what Kotori would have wanted." Kamui gave him a small smile.
"You're welcome." A mischievous grin on Fuma, and Kamui paled at that look, he knew that look.
"I think I should give you something before you're friend over there blows a gasket." Fuma kissed him on the cheek, blushing in embarrassment, Kamui's face glow a deeper red when he felt an arm wrapped around him possessively. Fuma moved away with a grin and he quickly ducked to avoid being impaled by a sharpened pencil. The pencil itself, is embedded into the white wall, tenth of it is in deep. Everyone blinked at this.
"Right that is my cue to leave. So see ya around, Kamui-kun." Fuma said cheerily as he went out the door with a smile. Subaru glared at the door, before he is interrupted from the person he is holding.
"Subaru, is something wrong?" Subaru looked down as innocent and curious amethysts eyes looked up at him, his face soften marginally at the teen with him. Taking their cue, the others left, leaving the both of them in private. Once they were gone, Subaru allowed himself to bury his face into the teen's chocolate locks of hair.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kamui hesitated, and reached up to run his fingers through Subaru's raven hair.
"It's because I don't want you to worry, I didn't want you to have any more on your plate than it already is." That arm tightened as it was joined by another, holding him there.
"Then you shouldn't hide it, I already told you that you shouldn't worry about me." Kamui let out a gentle smile on his face.
"I don't think I can, when I tried, my mind is always on you. Even during the event on the Promised Day, it's just kept on coming." Subaru in reply nibbled his ear, making Kamui flush red at this.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize for something that you can't prevent, as long as you-" Kamui's chin is pulled up gently, his face flamed red as he felt lips on his. In dazed, he look when the Sakurazukamori pulled away with a frown.
"Please do not quote what your best friend had said." Kamui blink, and slowly smile before letting out a chuckle.
"I'll try not to."

Kamui blinked, and stared. The Sakurazukamori who was nearby, conveniently, did the same as they stare at the principal of Clamp Campus.
"You're joking." Nokoru look at the both of them annoyed.
"I'm not." Kamui paled, and rushed to the door with the Sakurazukamori behind him, who followed curiously. Kamui opened the door, and froze. Seishiro who look over the Dragon of Heaven's shoulder, blinks in shock. The thirteenth head of the Sumeragi Clan had shrunk into a kid as he stared at the people who came in with big innocent green eyes..
"I'm not going to ask how," Kamui said and his hand clenched at the door knob. "but Imonoyama-san, may I ask why does it concern the Sakurazukamori here?" Seishro just gives a smile while Kamui glared at him. Nokoru looked at them both sheepishly.
"Well you see, unfortunately, Sumeragi-san lost his memories when the accident happened, so in order for him to remember who he actually is or was." Nokoru looked down went he felt his pants leg being tugged; he bent down and picked up the chibified omnyoji in his arms. "Sakurazuka-san is going to help because he is the last lead to Subaru's past before he met you, Shiro-san, other than the current twelfth head of the Sumeragi Clan. Sakurazuka-san happens to be close by, while the current head is in Kyoto." Kamui sighed in defeat before looking at innocent green eyes with a soft smile. Kamui selfishly wanted to take care of Subaru alone, but knowing that if he wants Subaru to remember who he is, he will need the Sakurazukamori's help on this. Pushing away that selfish want, he held out his arms to Subaru, as if Subaru is studying him, Subaru leaned forward. His small hands reached Kamui's arms, and let Kamui pulled him close. That's when Kamui remembered, that Sorta is right about him being a good house wife.
"You really do make a good house wife, Kamui-kun." Kamui's corner of his mouth, twitched at Seishiro's remark, as he glared at Seishiro with a angry blush on his cheeks. Seishiro smirk in amusement, it seems ruffling the Dragons of Heaven's Kamui's feathers is very entertaining. Nokoru held in his snickers, probably a wise choice. That's when chibified Subaru decided to voice out something interesting.
"Kamui-niisan?" Instantly, Kamui look at the chibi Subaru with full attention.
"Yes, Subaru?"
"Are you and Seishiro-oyaji are married?" Kamui choked and flushed red. Nokoru burst out in uncontrollable laughter, and Seishiro, look at the chibified Subaru with surprise and shock before a slow amused grin appear on him.
"Why yes. We are definitely-" Lightning fast, Kamui covered the assassin's mouth with his hand before he said anything anymore embarrassing or rather something damaging to the chibi Subaru. Kamui's violet eyes widen as he slowly realized whose mouth his hand is covering. Seishiro pulled his hand away from his mouth and bend closer to Kamui to whisper into Kamui's ear teasingly.
"I didn't that you'll be this aggressive, dear. It's such a turn on, this makes things a lot more enjoyable in bed as well." Kamui's left eye twitched, he knew he is severely blushing from embarrassment because of Sakurazukamori's comment. Out of nowhere, a mallet came out of his sleeve and into his hand, he pulled his own hand away roughly and hit Seishiro with the mallet hard into the wall. Nokoru winced, knowing that's got to hurt a lot. Kamui still blushing a bit, play with the chibified Subaru, something to keep his mind from going back to that comment.
