Cursed

Chapter 5

The sky opened, in more ways than one. Time and space opened and dropped a young male in the middle of the street just as the weather decided to unleash a downpour.

"Perfect. Why am I not surprised? This whole thing has been one giant mess." Lying back onto the damp ground, mismatched eyes closed. "Maybe I should just lay here; what difference does it make? My time's up, the magic's gone."

I didn't get to find him, all my efforts were in vain all because of that stupid spell. But Fuuma, oh, Fuuma can find them. This was all his fault and I swear if I ever see him again I'm going to punch him in the nose and then let him get impaled by the tree.

"—san."

Oh great, here's the moron now. I'm going to impale him through with my claws no point in holding back anymore.

Mismatched eyes opened, one a cloudy white, the other one flickering between amber and the harsher catlike slit. Great, I'm so weak I can barely keep up with my powers. I wonder if I asked him to kill me if he would? Almost did once and that's what started this mess. When his eyes focused, they weren't staring into orange-tinted honey eyes, but this had to be an illusion.

The next time Seishirou opened his eyes he was indoors. This woman; she looked familiar and yet she didn't. She resembled the dimensional witch in her appearance and her aura gave off powerful waves. That's what Seishirou had to rely on now, his vision was cloudy. "Who are you?"

"My name is Arashi; you're Seishirou-san right? You've been asleep for quite some time. My husband found you and carried you here."

"Where is this?"

"This is the Hanshin Republic."

"I see..."

"You came from a very far place; please rest."

"Honey, there's a visitor here for our visitor."

Oh great, it's probably Fuuma. I'm still going to punch him in the nose.

"SEISHIROU-SAN!"

He felt a slight weight on him and himself on the floor. "Subaru-kun?"

"Yes! Are you okay? Fuuma-san told me you didn't look so good, so I asked Yuuko-san to help me find you and she said the price had been paid!"

"Wait; Fuuma?"

"Hi Nii-san."

"Wait here Subaru-kun." A kiss to the vampire's lips, resulting in pale skin turning bright red, and the older of the two twins was on his feet. Seeing that Arashi and Sorata were talking to Subaru (and now Kamui), Seishirou pulled his brother to main room. "WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"Nothing...much..."

"Fuuma don't kid me, Subaru-kun told me everything. What was the price because I know it was you that paid it."

"I had to let myself be turned into a vampire and be without Kamui for a while. And all of my magic, so more or less what you had to go through."

"I don't get it...why why do that for me?"

"Silly Nii-san...we are twins after all. Just instead of being cursed by the Sakura we're cursed as vampires now."

"You're pathetic."

"Ah, maybe, but shall we go? The twins aren't going to run away this time; I figure we could live here in Hanshin!"

A lifetime in a modernized world with his brother and Kamui sounded like hell but Subaru-kun would be there.

"Maybe we're not so cursed after all."
