You chose not to stay in the Real World to consider and choose your next path. P.94 SUBARU .. You... .. ran away from Reality. KAMUI Who...? SUBARU My elder sister. P.95 SUBARU I wonder... do you know anything about onmyoujis? KAMUI Mother taught me. SUBARU As the head of the Sumeragi clan, I govern Japan's onmyoujis. KAMUI Is that person also... an omyouji? SUBARU No.... P.96 KAMUI I know him.... SUBARU You've met Seishirou-san...? KAMUI Seishirou-san...? SUBARU Seishirou Sakurazuka, who uses onmyoujutsu to kill -- Sakurazukamori. I loved him. I didn't realize it at first.... He treated me gently for one year... he lost his right eye protecting me.... I finally realized when I cried for his loss.... P.97 SUBARU I realized that "He was the only one I didn't want to be hated by." That he alone was "special." But.... That was only my Delusion. P.98 SUBARU He said, "There is no difference between people and things." KAMUI You mean, he was saying that everything was alive, the way humans are? SUBARU It's not that. No matter what he destroys -- living beings or nonliving things -- he does not feel anything. P.100 SUBARU Because this is my Memory... running won't let you be there in time. KAMUI Your sister.... P.101 SUBARU When Neesan got killed... I couldn't do anything. I was hiding in my own heart. I had ran away from Reality. Like what you are doing now. P.102 SUBARU It might be good for you to stay here, if that gives you the greatest happiness. But... .. if you don't come back out, nothing will begin, and nothing will end. You won't be able to do anything when it's really important. You will only be a spectator.... like how I was. "Kamui." P.103 SUBARU I also had a precious person killed by another precious person. But... .. my wound and yours aren't the same. I lost Neesan... I came back to Reality with the pain that it caused. And now.... P.104 SUBARU I... I, to make the future that I wish for into reality... .. live. That... will most likely depress everyone that loves me.... But I cannot stop wishing. KAMUI .. Because he was... .. Special? P.105 SUBARU .. That's right. Therefore, you, too, should chose. To continue living inside your memories blaming yourself. Or to awaken for the sake of your Wish. P.106 KAMUI I want to bring Fuuma back. .. Because... I couldn't protect... Kotori.... I want to protect Fuuma more than ever. P.107 KAMUI .. This isn't Fuuma. SUBARU .. If he returns to the personality of "Fuuma"... P.108 SUBARU .. he might remember... .. that he killed this girl. KAMUI .. But still... .. I... .. don't want to lose Fuuma. P.109 SUBARU .. If he returns to that personality.... Will you tell him you killed the girl named Kotori? P.110 SUBARU Even if there will be people who will say that you're selfish? KAMUI .. Yeah. SUBARU Even if there will be people who will blame you? KAMUI .. Yeah. SUBARU Even if no one will understand your Wish? P.111 KAMUI .. Yeah. SUBARU .. Then. For the sake of that Wish. P.112 SUBARU .. "Come back." P.114 BLACK FUUMA .. "Kamui" is returning. .. Is this also your Dream? KAKYOU .. "Kamui"... .. simply wants the return of the youth named "Fuuma." P.115 KAKYOU For that Wish alone he is returning. BLACK FUUMA Kakyou... what is your Wish? P.116 KAKYOU .. To die. BLACK FUUMA I will fulfill your Wish. P.117 P.118 P.119 KAMUI .. Fuuma.

P.138 [sign: Do Not Enter] P.140 KAMUI %Kotori... %I couldn't keep our promise... %But... P.141 KAMUI %I will... %protect "Fuuma".... P.142 SORATA Sorry if I'm bothering you. You asked that chairman to bury Kotori-chan's corpse under these trees? KAMUI Kotori liked trees and flowers and birds and insects. .. I... .. can't stay with her forever.... P.143 SORATA .. I'm sorry. I was a bigmouth and said, "If anything happens to you, I will throw my body in the way and help you somehow." It turns out I couldn't do anything. P.144 KAMUI That's not true! I...! SORATA Would it be okay if I held my hands together? {to pray for Kotori, who passed away.} SEIICHIROU Is it all right if we join you...? P.145 KAREN May I join you, too? I'm sorry I'm late.

KAMUI %Tokiko-san's voice...? P.154 KAREN She put a Spell on me. Finally I'm free of it. I did have this message passed to him once but... since I didn't tell "Kamui" directly, I didn't feel at ease.... P.155 KAREN Tokiko-san... was it? She left the message with me when she was kidnapped. Telling me to make sure it gets to you. [SORATA: Hey, I passed it on to Kamui properly.] P.156 KAREN What relationship was Tokiko-san to you? KAMUI Mother's... . younger sister.... KAREN Is that so.... SORATA I wonder if Tokiko-san knew... .. that she would give birth to the Holy Sword... P.157 SORATA .. and that it would pass into "Kamui"'s hands. $ (Tokiko) $Take this Holy Sword, and hide it There. $Until the Day that will come....... $In the center of the pentagram of CLAMP Campus.

You gave me a shock when you suddenly started crying. YUZURIHA I'm sorry! Well, um... could you tell me your name? KUSANAGI Kusanagi Shiyuu. P.171 YUZURIHA It sounds like your first name and family name are mixed up. KUSANAGI What's your name? YUZURIHA I'm Yuzuriha Nekoi, 14 years old! KUSANAGI Your name also sounds mixed up. YUZURIHA Can I ask you something? KUSANAGI Mm? YUZURIHA Shiyuu-san... KUSANAGI Kusanagi's fine. YUZURIHA What do you do for a living, Kusanagi-san? KUSANAGI Oh, I'm in the JSDF. {JSDF is "Japan Self-Defense Force."} P.172 YUZURIHA The JS...DF. KUSANAGI The land JSDF. Actually, I'm on my way to the garrison at Ichigaya. YUZURIHA Wow, I've never talked to someone who's in the JSDF before! KUSANAGI This is also my first experience, talking alone with a female junior high school student. But he sure is a good dog. P.173 YUZURIHA I... In the past, I was called a liar. No one could see Inuki... No one would understand... They said I was a liar, who kept talking about a dog that didn't exist. So... I'm.... so glad.... to meet someone who understands Inuki. KUSANAGI ... Those who have "powers" not those of normal humans have "pains" different from normal humans. P.174 KUSANAGI But. There has to be a "happiness" that you feel because you have those "powers". Was it all bad things when you were with Inuki? YUZURIHA No! KUSANAGI .. Were you unhappy to have met Inuki, missy? YUZURIHA No! I was... happy.... Because there were so many good times.... KUSANAGI There will be many hardships to befall you, missy. But. There also will be many good things waiting for you. P.175 YUZURIHA .. Yeah. Does something hurt? KUSANAGI .. Not me, the Tree. I hear their voices. Trees' and Insects' and Flowers' screams. P.176 Wounds, crying in pain. Do you believe me? YUZURIHA .. Yes. KUSANAGI The construction of new buildings and... .. the paving of new roads are not bad. But... P.177 KUSANAGI But those that originally lived here... were Trees. Just because they can't communicate, to kill them before their time for human convenience... it's heart-breaking.... If I didn't have this Power, I never would have known. But in exchange... I've gotten to know them and be friends. P.178 KUSANAGI Here, I'll escort you to the station. YUZURIHA Uh, um! Will I.... see you again? KUSANAGI Yeah. -----X Kusanagi: End-----
