I tried to answer the challenge made by Aine (supported by Sumeragi Aoi) almost a year ago about writing a bratty Kamui. I guess it didn't work out the way it supposed to be. ^_^' Special, wonderful thanks to Lady Aria for helping me finish this fic past 1am Easter morning. I especially thank the iced coffee she had with her dinner. ^_^" C & C's, flames, etc. may be forwarded to me privately at [my_animamundi @ yahoo.com] Please, let's not clog the list members inboxes, ok? Thank you! ^_^ Blurb: My own version of what will happen on the Promised Day. Absolution an X Fanfic (Rated: G) by dyoklako [my_animamundi@yahoo.com] "YAMERO!" Shinken in hand, Kamui jumped down from the top of Tokyo Tower to its base and plunged the Holy Sword onto the ground. Slowly, a bluish-white light glowed from the ground, enveloping Kamui as the air danced around him. The light began to grow, spreading outwards. Caught unawares, both the Seals and the Angels fail to notice the danger they were in. Even /Kamui/ did not know what Kamui was up to. Too late. Before they knew what hit them, everything went white. The blinding light diminished. As Kamui opened his eyes, he saw glittering lights reflected from the ice that covered everything. He marveled at the effect while walking around them. A cold satisfaction swept through him as he saw familiar faces frozen forever in surprise beneath his feet. Flakes of snow had started to fall as he looked up into a sky clear in a way the Tokyo sky has never been. He walked on, looking at ordinary objects as if seeing them for the first time. In the horizon he sees a familiar shape. The Sakura Tree. He walked towards it and saw that it too had frozen. He extended his hand to touch it. Barely had his hand made contact when he heard a cracking sound akin to a moan. He watched in fascination as the cracks spread. In a dazzling display, the Sakura Tree, the symbol of sublime evil, shattered. Its fragments carried by the wind creating a sound like chimes disturbed by a child's hand. Even an evil that has persisted throughout time, cannot withstand the Power of Kamui. He looked around one more time, a peaceful smile settling on his features, and he said, "As promised, I have done what you've asked." He lay down where the Tree once stood, his form becoming ethereal, as the spirits of the three people he loved most in life appeared. With the same peaceful smile on their faces they silently bore him away. - O W A R I - "Absolution" Copyright by dyoklako 16 April 2001, 1:30 a.m.</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>
