Standard disclaimers apply. --- Betrayal (Epilogue) An 'X' fanfic Presented by Alison Koh Seishirou walked into the empty room, staring at the bed, remembering the night when Subaru had asked him to stay. He gave a wistful sigh and smirked, as if recalling a little joke. "You intervened on purpose," a voice behind him remarked. Seishirou turned around to see Fuuma observing him impassively. The assassin demanded, "When did you come in?" "I'm the /Kamui/ of the Dragons of Earth. Your little kekkais can't stop me," came the reply. He walked into the room and sat down on the bed. Seishirou stared at him with a look of distaste. "You can't fight the Sumeragi anymore," Fuuma continued, "He has always been your precious one, even though you tried to deny it. And now he has granted your wish by giving you a 'heart'." "That doesn't make me any less a Sakurazukamori or even a Dragon of Earth," Seishirou commented. "Not if you betray me again," Fuuma threatened. He then stood up and walked towards the assassin. Speaking in a seductive voice, "However, I could grant you your other wish." For a brief moment, Seishirou thought he saw Subaru's face instead of Fuuma' s. Steeling himself against the illusion, he laughed and said, "You can mimic the face, but not the heart. Besides, illusion is my forte. A cheap trick like that could not possibly affect me." Fuuma frowned and he said, "I've issued my warning. Don't ever interfere in my business again. Next time I'm really going to kill Kamui." Then he promptly vanished. Seishirou grinned, "Not very likely." He walked over and lay down on the bed. Feeling the soft pillow beneath his head, he whispered a name, "Subaru." --- Dreams of Sakura Home -- http://www.starhub.net.sg/~alison X Shrine -- http://www.geocities.com/asuka_sg</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>
