F is for Fuuma
Here’s a character from CLAMP’s manga whom keeps coming back to stalk my imagination again and again. :) A major character in X 1999 and a minor, yet striking character in the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, Fuuma never fails to inspire ideas, fannish and original.
Fuuma can be a brutal, controversial character, considering many of the violent deeds he does. I always saw the tragedy of Fuuma being that he was motivated by love.
In X 1999, Fuuma underwent a dramatic, tragic personality change into an antagonist, due to a decision the main character (Kamui) made. This reminded me of Angel, how he changed with the loss of his soul due Buffy’s choice to make love to him.
Like Angel, Fuuma became a malevolent, sexually charged stalker and enemy, trying to destroy everything Kamui wanted to protect, often attacking Kamui himself. He became Kamui of the Dragons of Earth, determined to rid the planet of the humans killing it off and their protectors, the Dragons of Heaven. Fuuma does this by granting people what they desire most in a violent fashion which kills them. His relationship with Kamui is as passionate as it is violent. All you have to do is look at the artwork of X 1999 to see that passion playing out.
I’ve been waiting for years for the rest of X 1999. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to read it.
This doesn’t mean Fuuma has been willing to leave me alone. :) At times, he takes over my imagination, playing out the stories that never happened in the canon. For a while, I pictured my muse as looking like Fuuma. :) He was a powerful source of inspiration for angsty stories involving bishounen in love forced to oppose each other.
Thank you, Fuuma, for bringing beauty and epic powerful to a story which has touched my imagination in so many ways. I haven’t forgotten your story. I hope I live to see your creators finish it. I hope I’m able to read it myself.
In the meantime, is it possible you sealed the power of Kamui into Yuuko’s shop? Is that why you’re serving as her handyman? I’ll admit, I explored the possibilies of that in my fanfics, The New Shopkeeper and If Only You Knew. Readers can find both stories at Archive of Our Own. The price for putting the end of the world on hold had to be pretty steep. You had to sacrifice your own relationship with Kamui just as Syaoran had to sacrifice his with Sakura. Like Syaoran and Sakura, though, I wouldn’t say the two of you had no hope of discovering something new.
Your fate hasn’t been written yet. I’m not giving up.
