http://clampfix.fanworks.net/tb-fix/home.txt </head><body><pre>Hi all! My name's Liz and I joined about a week ago, but I've been lurking. I'm an avid fan of CLAMP, mostly reading Tokyo Babylon, X and Clamp Campus Detectives. Today an idea came up and hit me on the head and I had to write it. Just a short warning about it, I haven't finished reading TB yet, so even though I know what happens, I'm not to sure about how it happens. This is OOC and just plain odd. Oh, yaio warning too. Hope you guys like it! Feed back would be appreciated! Home 'The place seemed so empty without Hokuto,' thought Subaru Sumeragi, as he looked around his apartment. There was no cheerful laughter, no burst outs, no bright clothing. Everything was dank and dreary. "And it's all HIS fault!" Subaru screamed to the empty room. He flung himself onto a nearby chair. He hated Seishiro, he killed his sister, destroyed his life. And yet at the same time, Subaru couldn't imagine his life without the friendly vetere….. NO! He doesn't care for you; you can't care for him! But Subaru couldn't get the friendly smile of Seishiro out of his mind. How could he love his sisters murderer? How could he live without either one of them? Subaru wandered around Tokyo, looking for something he just couldn't find. He wasn't sure what to do now that everything was gone from his life. He didn't take on any more jobs; he just didn't feel like it. Everything around him reminded him of either his sister or Seishiro. He somehow wandered into a park. He watched all of the happy families that were out, children laughing and playing among the trees. He had never had the chance to do that, one of his first encounters with a park hadn't turned out so good. A bet that he couldn't hear, leading to a path of lies and hurt. Subaru ran from the park, dark memories following him. He ran, not knowing where he was going. To his surprise he ended up at Ueno Park, under the very tree that had ruined his life. But… it hadn't really. Subaru sat underneath the Sakura tree and thought. The tree had introduced him to Seishiro. Had it really ruined his life? Yes, his sister, his twin lay dead because of the man, yet….. Subaru realized something. Yes, he hated Seishiro for killing his sister, but he had already fallen in love with him. Subaru rested, for the first time since Hokuto had died. He loved Seishiro. Subaru was so out of it that he didn't notice a dark figure enter the area around the tree. The figure approached Subaru slowly, waiting for him to notice that he was not alone. But he was too relaxed to notice. Suddenly, what seemed to Subaru to be out of no where, a hand rested on Subaru's shoulder. He jumped at least a foot. A chuckle washed around Subaru as he realized who was behind him. He turned around slowly and met the sunglasses clad eyes of the man he hated and loved at the same time. "What are you doing here Subaru-kun? Come to cry about your sister? Or perhaps challenge me to a dual?" Seishiro's voice still held its pleasant tone, it seemed as though noting had changed between them. Subaru looked at Seishiro with no fear in his eyes. Seishiro was stunned, why wasn't he shaking in his shoes? The man who had killed his sister and who was one day going to kill him was standing one meter away from him. "I came here to think. Seishiro-san, I love you," Subaru said with utter sincerity. Seishiro was momentarily shaken, but quickly regained himself. "What do you know about love? Nothing. Subaru, it's over, I never lovedyou; you are my prey. One day I will take your life. You are only entertainment to me. Nothing more. Don't you understand that?" Seishiro stepped closer to Subaru. "You mean nothing to me. Your life means nothing, neither did your sisters. She cried for you Subaru while I took her life, did you know that? Could you feel her, hear her?" He took another step and closed the distance between them. "Did you hear her screams Subaru-kun? And you claim to love me. How novel." Seishiro grabbed Subaru's arm and crushed his lips to the younger mans. He pulled back and pushed Subaru away. "Is that the type of love you want Subaru?" With that Seishiro decided that the conversation was over and walked away from the tree and the stunned teen underneath it. He conjured up a batch of Sakura petals and disappeared from view. Subaru stood underneath the tree, thoughts flying around in his head. How could he think he loved that man? That murderer! Subaru collapsed underneath the tree, tears running down his face. He wanted things to go back to the way they used to be. Hokuto, Seishiro and him, all happy. He wanted to go home. He picked himself up off of the ground and made a promise to all of the people that Seishiro had killed. One day, I will fight him, and I will defeat him. He walked out of the park, his mind only on going back to his grandmother and training, training for the day when he would meet Seishiro again. *owari* Well? -Liz </pre><p><a href="./">Back</a></p><p><a href=http://www.dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=216><img border=0 alt="Donate towards our web hosting bill!" src=https://secure.newdream.net/donate1.gif></a></p></body></html>
