[[Non-descript point in the timeline. UH. WE CAN DECIDE LATER. Anyway. Welcome to CLAMP, Yuki~<3]]

Sometimes, Kamui just didn't feel like school -didn't see the point of going at all. After all, he was beyond the age of required schooling, and with everything else going on, sometimes it was just like... really? Really? The world was ending, he was failing in his duties, and instead of focusing purely on that, he was stuck in homeroom, musing on how he'd "conveniently forgotten" his math homework. Sometimes that just seemed a little stupid and pointless.

Sure, yeah, he got the whole "social interaction" thing (which -Keiichi aside- he more or less avoided regardless), and he even fully understood that he needed some sense of normality. But... still...

He sighed and pressed his forehead to his desk as the teacher entered the classroom, wondering how much trouble he would get into if he just slept away his classes for the day. The urge was quite tempting. Maybe he could even get off the hook by blaming it on his still-healing wounds and the residual effects of pain killers. Maybe?

Suddenly, however, all thoughts of sleep flew away as he snapped to attention, only vaguely hearing the teacher say something about a new transfer student. The oddness of it was what caught his classmates' interests -since the last kekkai fell, people had been transferring out of Tokyo and not in- but what caught Kamui's was the strange power he could feel in the boy. Sure, CLAMP School was no stranger to people with powers, but... this felt unique. Interesting.

Quiet, Kamui tilted his head slightly and watched the new student, eying him with poorly hidden curiosity.

Yuki stood at the front of the class holding his school bag in front of him with both arms as the teacher introduced him. He had never been a social butterfly and hated this part about attending a new school.....

He bowed and offered a thank you before being shown towards his seat near the back of the class next to a boy with black hair.

Yuki stopped before sitting and gave an awkward smile.

"You don't mind if I sit here do you?"

The other students whispered to each other as Yuki walked to his seat, Kamui just staring, wide-eyed, in a bit of a daze. For someone to have noticeable power, for that someone to not be involved in the war, that was just...

"Ah..." Kamui only snapped to when the other spoke, eyes still huge as he blushed slightly and mentally flailed. "Sorry, no, I..." He looked to the other's desk as if it could somehow magically make him feel less awkward. "I-I don't mind at all."

Yuki ignored the whispers, knowing that the rumors about him probably reached the students before he even got to the school...the accidents that happened around him and other weird stuff. However, he didn't let it show as he sat down and put his bag against his desk.

"Thanks....."

It was said just as awkwardly as Kamui probably felt.

"Mn," a nod and Kamui returned his attention to his own desk, shifting shyly to stare out the window. Really, he wanted to know more about the new student, but what could he do? Just asking about powers in the middle of class wasn't the best idea, and besides... that might scare the other off. There wasn't any guarantee that Yuki could feel that Kamui also had power, so that just out of the blue would be strange.

The least... the least he could do was introduce himself, though. Maybe try to get closer so that he could learn more, even if forging friendships wasn't really... his forte. At all. Ever. In fact, this was likely to be a first for him.

"Ah, I..." he turned back to the other, blushing lightly again, hands fidgeting nervously. "I'm Shirou Kamui, by the way..." His head turned downward, long bangs hiding most of his face. "N-Nice to meet you..." There. That wasn't so bad, was it?

Yuki had pulled out his own book thinking that the conversation was over since Kamui didn't seem the talking type. He was a bit shocked when he introduced himself though simply smiled.

"It's nice to meet you too."

He kept his voice quite though so not to disturb the class.

... and that was about as good as Kamui could do at the moment, not wanting to disturb the class. He had to wait now, crossing arms on his desk, pressing his forehead to them as the teacher lectured on. Instead of sleeping, he tried to feel the other out, tried to figure out even remotely what his abilities were, but... he couldn't. Strong as he was, he wasn't quite gifted with that kind of power.

But... there was always lunch, right? He could talk to him during lunch. Well, if Keiichi didn't pounce him, he could at least. Maybe if he was quick enough...

As soon as the lunch bell rang, Kamui turned to Yuki, taking a deep breath before... "A-Ah... would you, um, like... to have lunch with me?"

Yuki did his best to take notes in class, wanting to at least be a good student even if he was socially awkward.

When the lunch bell rang he started to get his things together before Kamui spoke.

"Are you sure?"

The rest of the class seemed just as shocked as no one had even looked at him without turning back and whispering to another student. Hadn't Kamui heard the rumors about him?

Kamui blinked, not entirely sure of why everyone was so surprised. Was it because of him? Because they had never seen him social before? Much less with a newcomer to the school.

"Yes? If... if it's really alright with you." He gathered his books, turning one over in his hands. "I mean, it's okay if you don't... I'm not really good with people or anything."

Kamui would be met with a smile as Yuki was more than happy to have someone to sit with for lunch.

"No, it's fine."

"Eh?" He blinked and blushed as if he had been expecting Yuki to think better of it. "Ah, then... I'll show you... a really nice place on campus to eat, okay?"

Kamui finished gathering his things quietly, nodding for Yuki to follow. The walk wasn't far to his special tree -Kotori's tree- Kamui settling to the grass under it with exceptional care.

Yuki gathered up his own books and stood up and followed Kamui. As they approached the tree he looked up at it.

"It's really pretty here."

"It is. It's... my favorite place on campus." He touched the tree gently, wondering to himself if it really was okay to bring Yuki here. Students generally didn't wander to this part of campus, and he hadn't yet shown it to anyone outside the war. Hopefully... Kotori wouldn't have minded him bringing along an interesting person.

And as if answering his concern, a little bird landed on Yuki's shoulder, twittering with happy curiosity. "Oh. The birds are really friendly, too. I hope you don't mind?"

Yuki laughed as the bird landed on his shoulder and lifted a finger to gently pet its neck.

"Are the birds here wild? I've never had one be this trusting, not even at the orphanage."

"They're wild. They probably wouldn't have paid you any mind if you weren't with me." Because the birds in Kotori's tree were always hanging around him, comforting him as best they could. "It's... a long story, really."

Which he was not going to get into, even though he apparently failed to see the problem going into Yuki's business. "Orphanage?"

Yuki continued to pet the bird who twittered at him happily as he spoke.

"I grew up at an orphanage. My best friend Kanata and I both did and we helped with the younger children there. It's a little weird being away from there. It was my home."

"Was it... a nice place?"

Home. Not really something Kamui had a concept of. Even now, with the Seals, it wasn't... home. Not really. CLAMP Campus was only a place to stay in order for him to remain cared for until his purpose was completed.

"Why did you come here?"

"Yes, plenty of flowers to make flower circlets for the kids."

He was quite for a bit as the bird eventually flew over to Kamui's shoulder.

"I miss them and Kanata, but I was recently adopted, well found by my older brother. It's been really weird lately...everything changed."

He couldn't exactly go into the whole the world could end and he's its only hope along with the Zweilts who were charged with protecting him.

Kamui nodded, quite sure that of course things had changed. Tokyo was partially in ruins, the country was in a panic. CLAMP Campus was really one of the few places that was left safe, and even it would fall if he were to lose.

"Being found..." He tilted his head, obviously musing on that. Oh, he was now a orphan too -as far as he knew, anyway- and had been found by the Seals. It was... "That... can be nice, though." Extremely strange, but sometimes also nice.

Kamui shifted, the little bird shifting with him. "Ah, I used to make flower circlets when I was a kid. I was pretty good at them." And then he flushed, not sure why he admitted that.

Yuki moved to sit by the tree and pulled out his lunch. The conversation could go on for awhile if he let it, but he felt at ease around Kamui.

"They have definitely taken me in like family and everyone is really nice. I just have to get used to everything."

Kamui nodded and quietly started in on his own food, made entirely by him as he had been on bento duty for today.

"I..." he suddenly spoke up and shifted nervously, poking at a meatball. Not entirely sure how to phrase that he can relate, or if he should even tell Yuki that much, but... "I've only been here a couple of months, and I've kind of been adopted too, I guess. In a way. So... I know how weird it can be getting used to stuff."

Yuki brightened at that. So not only had he met someone who wasn't running away from him but they were in similar situations.

"How have you done it? I mean gotten used to it?"

"Ah, honestly?" He started to poke at other food items, staring at them intently. "I haven't. I mean, I... I guess I've become friends with the people I live with, but it's still pretty strange." But it could also be fun and amusing at times, and Sorata was always there for him at any hour he needed.

"Just... I grew up moving around all the time with my mother, so for the most part, I didn't make friends or anything." Except those precious few years with Kotori and Fuuma. "Suddenly being around lots of people is a bit... overwhelming. At times."

"I can understand that. Everyone at Twilight mansion is really nice and treats me like they've known me all my life, but I mean I only just met them. I'm still trying to get used to it. People don't tend to like to be around me..."

He even got hate letters threatening his life in the mail.

"Why?" The other seemed kind enough, so why wouldn't people want to be around him? Was it... "Because of your power?"

It occurred to him only a moment after that slip that maybe he shouldn't have been so blunt about it. Maybe that was a tender subject. But... he really, really wanted to know...

"S-Sorry. I... I'm not really... uh. I can sense stuff like that. I just can't tell what kind of power you have, and... I mean..."

Well that got Yuki to freeze completely. Only few people knew of his power and most of the ones who did were only out to kill him.

"How...."
