To love someone who you know will never feel the same way? Someone who will never love you?” He smiled faintly finishing her words. Carefully he brought his hand up to stroke her soft cheek wiping away a few of the falling tears. “I know... but, this is the way things are Yuzuriha.” His hand fell off to his side and his body shuddered, growing more cold to the touch. “Subaru-san.” Yuzuriha looked around the vast area surrounding Tokyo Tower. Only a few more kekkai stood remaining amongst what used to be the city of Tokyo. Now all that was left of the once large city was a few buildings slightly still retaining the ability to stand in a wasteland of dust, steel girders, and bodies of those who had died, decomposing in the hot sun as various insects and animals thrived on the nourishment they gave them. Another kekkai collapsed. Karen Kasumi. Yuzuriha began to cry all the more. “Why? Why can’t we all just be normal? All I ever wanted was to be normal and to fall in love with the right guy.” She felt a sudden sharp pain in her chest as soon as she uttered those words. Looking down she could see a shaft of metal sticking out of her front, greased with her blood. Shocked, she looked up gazing into the cold eyes of the Sakurazukamori. “You-” “I’m so sorry to be the one to break this to you Yuzuriha-chan.” He smiled as he made emphasis on her name. “But you were never meant to be normal.” He drove the shaft more fully into her chest and then slowly pulled it out as the young girl fell into darkness. “Sei.. shirou... san...” Subaru hissed out the words with troubled breathing, realizing that Yuzuriha was dead and that he was soon to follow. “Do you feel sorry for her Subaru-kun? Is it because you both fell in love with the wrong person? He knelt over Subaru’s bleeding form and kissed his prey softly on the lips. “That’s so sweet.” Kamui watched as the Sakurazukamori stepped away from the two dead bodies that were once Subaru and Yuzuriha. Why can’t we all just be normal? It really wasn’t an unreasonable thing to ask for, but for some reason god had decided it be denied them that chance, and along with it the chance to be happy. Two more of the kekkai collapsed. Arashi. Seiichirou. They had lost. Kamui was the only one left. Yuzuriha was right. They all deserved to be normal. Perhaps in another life they could be... Kamui sighed. The remaining Dragons of Earth were coming for him, even despite the fact that their own ‘Kamui’ had perished at his hands. He looked at the body of Fuuma and the head that lay beside it. He had been unable to grant his own wish, but maybe... maybe if he used the last of his power as “Kamui” he could grant someone else’s. Maybe he could grant Yuzuriha’s wish in the next world. Raising the Shinken high he set the tip of the blade over his heart. “Please...” he whispered, as he closed his eyes and impaled himself through the chest. * * * “GYYAAAAAAANNN!!” Yuzuriha giggled as she scratched her head while sitting up in her bed. “5:30 in the morning?! I must really be nervous.” Ceasing to look at her alarm clock she flipped up her blankets and threw them over her head and curled up inside planning on catching up on more shut-eye. “I hate it when I have first day jitters.” She closed her eyes for a brief moment until their was a sudden flash of light splashed over her eyelids. Opening her eyes slowly she checked the time once again. “Oh my god! I’m going to be late for my first day!!” Tossing off the covers in a rush she sprung out of the bed and began to search her room for her school uniform. “My first day at a new school, and I might show up late!” Finding her uniform she flipped off her nightgown and pulled the dress over her head. Straightening out her hair quickly with a brush and after brushing her teeth she darted out of the door of her house. “Grandma, I’ll see you after school!” Running down the street she headed off to her destination. CLAMP Campus. My first day. I can’t wait. She turned the last corner and was greeted by the sign of the school, tons of students bustling to get inside. “Wow! This place is *huge*!” She whacked herself lightly on the head. “Well, of course, it does have a high school, and grade and middle school, as well as a college, so... of course it’s big. Waaahhh!! I'm going to become *so* lost!!” Yuzuriha took her satchel from her back to check her schedule and map so she could find where she was going. “The answer is no. Forget it Sorata.” “But miss.... we’re meant for eachother!” Yuzuriha turned her head around and caught sight of a quite taller young man with spiky hair wearing just plain jeans and T-shirt trying to catch up with a lovely young girl with long black hair and the most serious expression she'd ever seen on a person wearing the same uniform as Yuzuriha. “It’s destiny! Can’t you feel it?” The girl turned around abruptly and stared at him coldly. “No. Go away.” With that said she turned on her heel, flipped her hair back, stuck her nose up in the air and walked away. “One of these days, you will be mine miss! Oh yes, you will be mine!” he yelled after her. Yuzuriha shook her head and suppressed a small giggle. That poor guy... She giggled a little louder and the young man twisted around to see her and walked up. “So, you think my romance is a failure? Well, I’ll prove you wrong little girl.” He put his hand in a fist and raised it up to his chest wearing a determined look. “Sorata Arisugawa always gets his woman, bwahahahahahahaha!” His demonic laughter rang into the air for a few moments until he abruptly stopped. “So, what’s your name?” “Huh?” Yuzuriha responded with a blush of embarrassment having laughed at the older boy and also from being caught off guard. “You heard me. What’s your name? I already introduced myself. Sorata Arisugawa, you can call me Sora-chan, and you are?” “Yuzuriha Nekoi. It’s a pleasure to meet you Sorata-san.” Yuzuriha managed a small bow. “Who was that girl you were... talking to?” She cast a quick look to the girl who had by now run up against three friends and was now talking quite happily with them. “The miss over there? Her name is Arashi Kishuu. My future lover and wife.” Yuzuriha put her hand to her mouth and tried to contain her laugh but couldn’t. She stopped immediately though once she realized that Sorata was giving her a serious look. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m being so rude. It’s just that, you and her don’t seem to get along, and I thought that you were joking.” She blushed in embarrassment. “Please forgive me for not taking you seriously. I’m new at this school, and I should be more careful as to how I speak to other people. I’m sorry.” She bowed again, this time in apology. Sorata’s mouth quirked up in a half-smile. “That’s okay. You’re not the first to say the exact same thing. I do suppose it is sort of ridiculous. The school reject trying to win the heart of the school beauty. But something inside me for some reason keeps telling me it’s destiny... like my life belongs to her to take or to give.” He patted Yuzuriha on the back. “Listen, since you’re the first to ever believe that I may have a chance with the miss, I’ll show you around the school and some of the ropes, okay? What’s your first class?” “Oh, Japanese.” Yuzuriha showed her schedule to the older boy. “Cool! That’s nearby my class! I’ll walk ya.” He bowed and extended his arm as a signal for her to go ahead of him. “You’re gonna love CLAMP Campus.” he said as Yuzuriha and he began to head in the direction of the High School building. Meanwhile in the library main office, a man with brown hair, wearing thin glasses and a suit was sifting through the student files. “Yuzuriha Nekoi. Freshman. Recent transfer. This sounds like her.” He adjusted his glasses as he got up and ran a Xerox of the new student file. “Finally, just like the legends said, the Slayer has arrived.” *************************** To Be Continued in Part 1 *************************** Waii-waii! The prologue I finally finished and half of chapter one is ready so far thanks to my lovely co-writer (of which I am not sure is on this mailing list ^^;;). If you couldn’t tell, this is a crossover between X and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, where it’s just basically putting the X characters in Buffy roles and combining elements from both stories. I have no idea how this story will eventually be, but hopefully not too long seeing as to how I have several stories to finish. >_< ;; Please and comments and CONSTRUCTIVE critisism would be very much welcomed. Please do not archive this story. I will send it to whatever archives there are when I find that this story is either furthered or that I have no changes to make with my co-writer or otherwise. Arigatou. Oh yeah, did I mention I'm relatively new to the list? =^-^= Nice to meet ya'll! *Subaru-kun*</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>
