X/1999: Volume 6: Duet

by CLAMP, 182 pages

While talking beneath a blooming cherry tree, Kamui and Kotori are suddenly attacked by a smooth-talking, powerful stranger. If not for the last-minute intervention of Fuma, the two would most likely be dead. Kamui is understandably grateful, and he ponders their childhood promises and present circumstances as the three return home to recuperate. But they'll find little reprieve there as they are quickly faced with dark dreams, inexplicable awkward moments, and a shocking, violent truth.

Seishiro Sakurazuka makes an official appearance and shows himself as coldly cocky as ever, laughing off his momentarily interrupted evil-doing. With his absence, the characters try to gain a few moments of peace and optimism, but the dire mood only deepens and the road ahead looks even gloomier than it did before. And if that weren't enough, something is clearly up with Fuma....
