Culpability 3

Touma choked back a sob in his throat before jumped on the blond neck.

"Seiji!!! Seiji, you're alive!!! You can't know how I'm happy!!!" He said.

The young samurai of light was really surprise by this show of emotions, moreover from Tenku. He was normally so calm, almost cold, calculator and certainly not the emotional type. He didn't act like he knew him and that was very disturbing.

"Well, it's good, I'm here." The blonde said in the end.

He succeeded as he could in escape Touma's embrace and as the same time the one from his other comrades. He knew he was killed, perhaps his time in the other kingdom was longer than he thought and that had to be why they seemed so happy to saw him again.

That didn't change the fact they were pathetic against the warlords. He intervened when the archer would be killed, but others weren't in better position. It was what he concluded from their mutilated bodies. What happened to let them in this situation. And trust Rajura…

"What's came over you ?" He said with a very cold voice.

"What?" Ryo could articulate.

"Rajura. I thought after all these battles that you understand we can't believe the warlords." Continued the blonde.

"But, it was our only chance to beat them…" Shin tried to justify them.

"And who thought of this grandiose plan? You perhaps?" Asked Seiji looking Touma.

"Eh? NO. Since we lost you I didn't make any plan." Answered Touma choking back a sob.

The samurais were surprised by Seiji's behaviour as he lost his sensible side in his stay in the death kingdom. It might be the case when you were resuscitated, you loose a part of your soul…What the problem was, he couldn't keep this attitude with them too long or he would find them.

Ryo decided to let his new resuscitated friend knew his way of thinking. Who did he think he was to blame them. They were nearly killed many times in their lasts fights and this tentative was their last hope. That was right that with Seiji's return they would fight bravely again without trap. But at this time they couldn't know he would come back.

"Listen to me, Mister 'I'm better than you', we didn't have choice ! And if you had been stronger you wouldn't have been killed!!" He lost his temper.

"And who was fault if I died, mine ?" Answered the blonde.

"No, it was mine, and I'm terribly guilty about that." Said Touma with shame while hanging his head.

"Whatever, nothing would happen if our leader was a good leader!!" Added the blonde.

Ryo couldn't hear more, despite his multiple wounds he jumped on Seiji to hit him. The combat wasn't control anymore. Seiji was very stronger than Ryo and the young man's ardour didn't change the situation. The others tried to separate them in order they could found their minds but couldn't.

Exceeded by Seiji's behaviour who fight without a second thought his friends, and more than that his injured friends, Shuu decided to interfere. He griped the blonde's shoulders and forced him to turn. It was when he punched him really hard on the stomach. Seiji was immediately KO. He collapsed in Touma's waiting arms as he run to catch him.

"Sorry, it's the only way I found." Said Shuu shrugging.

"You have reason, when he will sleep a little he would surely be calmer." Appreciated Shin.

"That's right, but it wasn't the best thing that Ryo asked for it." Said Touma holding the totally knocked-out blonde.

There was always a rivalry between Ryo and Seiji to know who would be the leader. It was the playful and passionate side of Ryo's personality that worked for him but perhaps Seiji might think now that it was safer to change. Or he was furious than he, Touma, was nearer to be killed when he came back.

Touma reddened at this idea, Seiji's behaviour was a little strange but it was always Seiji. And he wondered how he would react when he would confess his feelings and say him he loved him too. In waiting for that, he was in his arms, alive, so Touma was the happiest man in the world.

Nasuty run towards them when they came home. She was extremely worried since they went to this battle, so worried she jumped at each noise that could indicate they were home. Her relief was immense when it was really them.

"So, how it was?" She asked with worry.

"Well…not really good…we…" Ryo couldn't finish his sentence because she had cut him.

"Oh my God! In what shape you are? Come in quickly as I look after you." She said them.

As the instant they would come in, she noticed Touma hold something on his back. She was first curious but as she looked nearer she saw the blonde hair of Seiji. It was unbelievable but it was Seiji without a doubt. But they said her he was dead…

"But, it's Seiji?" She exclaimed.

"Yes." Answered Touma with a smile.

"What happened to him ? How could he be…?" She asked.

"We will explain you in." Cut Shuu.

Touma refused to let Nasuty take care of his arm like that he could bring Seiji in their bedroom. She sighted and treated him about possible infection but he didn't care. So she turned her attention on the rest of the team.

The scene wasn't cheering and Nasuty had the impression to always do the same movement since many weeks now. Cleaning wounds. Bandaging. Cooking. Trying to cheer up the troop. At the end, she asked them how the plan was taking place.

It was Shin who spoke when he saw Ryo fulminate from rage again. He explained that in the beginning all was great but that Rajura didn't keep his promise and they were face to face with all the warlords. He also said her Anubis attacked Touma when Seiji came from nowhere and interfered.

With his help they were able to push away their enemies but then Seiji show a totally different face that the one they knew. He acted extremely coldly and haughtily and went at the point to fight with Ryo.

"Shuu had to kick him to stop him. You know all." Finished the water warrior.

"That doesn't seem like Seiji…In ordinary he is so attentive towards his friends…" Remarked Nasuty.

"Yes but we must wait he awakes to have answers." Concluded Shin.

Ryo stayed thinking an instant, what disturbed him was the way he fought. Of course the blonde was really good with a sword in hand but this time that pass understanding. How couldn't he definitively beat Anubis before with the ability he showed?

"You saw how he fought?" He asked at least.

"Yeah…And it's not his usual method." Shin answered him.

"How that?" Exclaimed Nasuty.

"He seemed to have more experience…It's difficult to explain but it's almost like it wasn't Seiji." Agreed Shuu.

After that they stayed quiet because they didn't know what add. They were so happy that their friend came back from death but at the same time all was so strange. There was a 'I don't know' that disturbed them and wasted their happiness.

Touma carried Seiji in their bedroom. His arm made him suffer agonies but he wanted comfortably install him as he could rest. He laid him down the more gently he could on the bed and opened the window a little in order the warm air from the exterior relaxed him.

Even sleeping Touma found him beautiful, he had all this blonde locks that surrounded his perfectly traced face. He seemed like from a dream and the fact Touma was still dazzled by his providential apparition some hours ago didn't help things.

The archer undid his bloody T-shirt and washed the wound all he could in the adjacent washroom. It was deep but he didn't mind, anyway Seiji always could easily heal it with Kourin's power. He splashed water on his face and slipped in a new T-shirt taking care to not make his wound bleed again.

Once in his room again, he sit down on the bed next to the sleeping form. He watched his chest raised and lowered in the rhythm of his breathing. He had an only wish, laying down next to him and taking him in his arms. But before, he wanted Seiji awake in order to say him how he was stupid and that he loved him more than all.

When he couldn't wait anymore he leaned as calmly as possible, or more exactly as calmly as his very beating heart permitted him and placed his lips on his best friend cheek. It was only his cheek but his skin was incredibly smooth and he couldn't take his lips apart this sweet contact.

However, Touma's proximity awoke Seiji. He opened his amethyst eyes and was incredulous to see the archer leaning above him and kissing him. He moved a little to stop him. That didn't take long and the blue-haired archer jumped behind when he understood his friend was awake.

"Well, Seiji…I wouldn't wake you…You must rest a little more." He said him embarrassed.

"What were you doing?" Asked the blond too calmly.

"With what you said me before… well your death and the fact that…I feel the same way towards you…" He lost himself in explanation.

"Be clearer I understand nothing!" Became irritated Seiji.

"OK, as we feel the same thing towards each other, I thought it was normal to do what I did…Excuse-me, I had to inform you before."

The archer reddened in the most beautiful red he was able to but in front of him Seiji had the regard of someone who didn't understand the situation. Tenku's behaviour was totally incomprehensible to him. It wasn't the same man he knew.

"I don't understand what you are discussing. We spoke to each other rarely so I really don't see…" Said Seiji at the end.

"How that??? Seiji, you didn't say that the last time!!" Flared up Touma.

"I don't understand what you have in your mind. And stop calling me Seiji, it's not my name!" Answered the blonde.

It was Touma's turn to be totally lost. Seiji didn't remember the same thing as him on his life, and he thought his name wasn't Seiji? It was impossible, it was Seiji he had in front of him, there were no doubts about it, so why?

On his side, the blonde eyed around him, he didn't know this room, he was certain of it. He wondered what were all these strange objects that surrounded him. Even the bed he laid down on it was strange. Never in his life he saw so bizarre furniture and so much!

Where was the love of aestheticism and empty space that was in each his friends' heart. As samurais they had learn to detach themselves from personal ownership, they only owned their weapon. Where was he, and who was the one he thought be his brother-in-arm?

"Where are we? And what are all these things?" Said Seiji while he showed the contents of the room.

"What do you mean Seiji? It's our bedroom!"

"It's not my bedroom!! And don't call me Seiji!!! My name is Kourin!!" The blond nearly yelled.

To be continued…
