[[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.

"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.

From:

haplesswisher

"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..."

From:

light_of_god

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...."

From:

haplesswisher

Kamui mentally panicked almost immediately. He hadn't meant to upset the other -he just wanted to know what his power was, and why it was so strong.

"I'm not someone bad, I promise." He placed his bento on the grass and sighed, stretching out one arm as he allowed his power to gather. It swirled around his hand and gathered in his palm, glowing and crackling. "I'm not normal, either."

Even though it was a bit uncomfortable, he quickly snuffed the power out, blushing a little as he turned to Yuki. "Please... don't tell anyone what I just showed you? I really shouldn't have... I mean, most don't know..." Except for those involved in his war.

From:

light_of_god

Yuki flinched at the power though didn't run away. Kamui didn't feel bad and he could usually tell if someone was.

"I...I won't. I promise."

He looked away, as he knew if he showed Kamui his powers...well if he touched him Kamui would probably run.

From:

haplesswisher

Ugh. Now he felt incredibly awkward. And kind of worried. Because showing his power to outsiders outside of the context of a battle wasn't really... something he did normally. Even Keiichi, who was the only non-involved friend he had, didn't know about the part of him.

Still, somehow? He did trust Yuki not to tell anyone. Not to mention that if he did, Imonoyama was likely to fix the problem before it got too bad.

"I just... I'm curious about you, since I can feel you so clearly, and... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."

From:

light_of_god

Yuki hadn't left so that was a good thing right?

"If...I show you my powers I won't be angry if you run away...I'm used to it."

From:

haplesswisher

It was a good thing, even if Kamui wasn't sure why he hadn't run yet.

"I won't run away." That, at least, Kamui could say with certainty.

From:

light_of_god

Yuki set his own bento down before moving to take Kamui's hand gently. He was ready but wasn't ready for what he was about to see and suddenly the tree they were under took on a whole new meaning. Flashes of Kamui's past flew through both their minds as well as the emotions that went with it.

It left Yuki shaking as he released Kamui's hand and leaned against the tree.

"I..I'm sorry...."

From:

haplesswisher

Kamui was shaking as well, eyes tightly shut as he tried to calm himself. It wasn't as if those images were anything new, however: he saw them almost every night. Over and over, his subconscious tortured him with them.

"No, I..." He looked to the other, and it all made sense to him. "Are you alright?" Based on Yuki's reaction, he assumed well enough that he had also seen everything. The ability to look into memories... that was different.

From:

light_of_god

"I'm okay...I just wasn't....you shouldn't have to have the life you have. It's not fair."

Everyone he'd come in contact too had had a bad past but Kamui's definitely beat out those.

"Are..you hurt anywhere right now?"

After seeing the images he knew that Kamui probably had at least a few wounds he could help with.

From:

haplesswisher

"I..." He wasn't sure what to say, really. To have someone suddenly know him was pretty new, as most of the people around him had been with him during everything. At least, all the recent pain. Not to mention that he couldn't help but be worried, as bad things tended to happen to those who became involved. Even knowing was a risk.

The question at least distracted him from his mixed feelings on Yuki knowing everything, and he held out his bandaged arm. Obviously, yes. Still injured in lots of places. He had become rather used to being bandaged.

From:

light_of_god

Yuki took a breath before taking Kamui's arm and slowly let his power flow his hand glowing. Soon Kamui's arm started to heal along with any other injuries he had. Yuki still wasn't that used to the healing power or the pain that came with it and did his best to hide any show of pain.

From:

haplesswisher

That was...

Kamui felt Yuki's power flow through him, healing, the sensation new and kind of strange. If only... if only he had powers so useful, then maybe... he couldn't have been more help to others...?

After the healing was done, Kamui looked to his arm curiously and then looked to Yuki worriedly. "Th-Thank you, but... does... I mean, doesn't that kind of thing tire you out?" Because most powers that could do such amazing things had backlashes or were draining and the like.

Yuki didn't answer right away as he held his arm in the same place that Kamui had been hurt.

"It's only temporary."

From:

haplesswisher

Kamui's eyes narrowed. "What is?" Tiredness? Whatever it was, he wasn't pleased at the idea of Yuki harming himself in any way for his own good. Enough people had been harmed because of him -he didn't need another.

From:

light_of_god

"It's nothing, see I'm okay now."

he smiled as he moved to get his bento back though it was a bit slower.

From:

haplesswisher

"It's not okay, Giou-kun," Kamui snapped, noticing the change in the other immediately. "Whatever you did, it harmed you. Enough... enough people have been harmed because of me. Please don't..."

He sighed, ignoring his own food for now. "This will not be the last time I'm injured, I'm sure. Please don't harm yourself for me again, okay?"

From:

light_of_god

"It's okay really. I'm just glad I can help in some way. It's all I can really do."

After all the Zweilts all risked their lives for him so he can at least help them by healing them and Kamui was nice so he can help him.

"I don't want to see you or anyone else hurt anymore...I've seen enough..."

From:

haplesswisher

"I have, too..." Skinny little Kamui didn't feel like eating anymore, so he leaned back against the tree, looking up into the branches.

"Life can never be easy, right?" His voice was soft, distant, as he watched the leaves flutter in a light breeze.

Yuki watched him before leaning against the tree and smiled a bit.

"This spot really is special to you. Anything that reminds you of the good times you spent with a loved one is something to cheshire."

From:

haplesswisher

"It... it reminds me of both good and bad." He shifted, touched the tree gently, running fingers along a twisted root. "But Kotori-chan liked nature, and this way she can always be around the birds she loved so much..."

Sad now. So very sad. He missed her terribly, missed her brother just as much. If he could just get Fuuma back, things... things would be okay.

From:

light_of_god

Yuki moved closer to Kamui before putting a gentle hand over his. He was prepare this time for the images but didn't let go.

"If you only dwell on the bad things it takes the joy out of the memories of the good times you spent with them. She wouldn't want you to dwell on those. I know she'd want you to be happy."

From:

haplesswisher

Considering the shock of a moment ago, Kamui was surprised at the hand touching his, blinking down at it with a slight blush. Kind... Yuki was so very kind.

"I... I know." Shyly, hoping the other wouldn't notice as much, he turned his hand over in Yuki's to hold it lightly. "And I know... I shouldn't dwell because I need to keep moving forward. Just sometimes, I get a little... unsure, I guess?" That he was doing the right thing, making the right choices.
