personally, i like subaruxkamui. although kamuixfuma looks pretty hot... sort of.
anyway, here is a rant i made on mangafox in the forums for X/1999. which i will post here:
Quote: "proof that kamui is bisexual (at least) from between volumes 1-15: 1. in volume 8, when Fuma kills Kotori, Kamui shouts "Fuma!". but in the dream that kanoe shows Fuma, when the dream-Kamui stabs Kotori, Fuma shouts "Kotori". if Kamui had the same feelings, shouldn't he have shouted "Kotori" instead of "Fuma"? 2. in volume 9, after Kotori is killed, there is this page in which Kamui is reflecting on images of him with Kotori and Fuma flashbacks in pieces of glass. The reflections of Kotori in the glass pieces are of either Kotori by herself or with him. However, the pieces with Fuma and him definitely show more intimate interactions. 3. also notice how it takes guys to convince Kamui to break out of his aloof shell (i.e. Sorata, Segawa, Daisuke and definitely Subaru). the girls can't get through to him... at least not as much as the guys can. 4. many people within the story mentioned that Kamui would be so-and-so's wife (but to a girl. a boy being the wife of a girl???) 5. lastly, many of Kamui's close-ups... really look like a girl!!! (and he blushes in front of Subaru!!! vol. 11, pg. 49)"

Or how about he most obvious of all CLAMP themselves SAID Kamui and Fuma were "more than just friends."
no other proof needed! rofl
I'm a Seishirou/Subaru girl myself, but really, any way you put the Quartet together works for me. |

Here is some information on the interaction between Subaru & Kamui enjoy.
Beautiful Together
There have been many scenes where the two have bonded together in the sweetest way possible.
X9
Subaru dived into Kamui's semi-conscious mind at the risk to his own life. When Kamui finally decided to wake up and face his destiny, the two embraced each other in the dreamscape. Then, just after Kamui fluttered his gorgeous lashes and opened his eyes in the real world, Subaru smiled (perhaps for the first time in X) and collapsed into the boy's arms from exhaustion. Kamui continued to hug him while whispering words of thank you.
The significance of the embrace must be held in light of Kamui's reaction to the other people who have ever tried to touch him. Be it Fuuma, Sorata, Keiichi or even Kotori, Kamui almost always either flinched away or turned instantly stiff at their touch/embrace. Subaru, on the other hand, was an absolute stranger to him. Yet, Kamui felt immediately drawn to the beautiful onmyouji. Subaru, himself, was also not a person open to touch. Even in Tokyo Babylon, he was never entirely comfortable with any open displays of affection. He would blushed furiously and ran, rather than willingly allow Seishirou to embrace him, much to Hokuto's consternation. Thus the embrace between Subaru and Kamui was natural and willing, and hence beautiful.
X11
Here is the famous tuition scene under the gazebo within CLAMP campus. Kamui rushed anxiously towards the gazebo and then he apologised profusely to Subaru for being late. When Kamui mentioned about his lack of proper schooling, he apologised embarrassedly to Subaru, an utterly unnecessary reaction. Perhaps he a little self-conscious about Subaru's opinion, and did not wish Subaru to think negatively of him. A few moments later, he meekly commented about Subaru's smoking. Initially, Subaru mistook his message and tried to assure Kamui that smoking would not affect his powers and would, in fact, strengthen it. However, Kamui repeated his request that Subaru stop smoking because it was bad for Subaru's health. It was obvious that Kamui cared for Subaru's well-being.
X12
This volume featured the famous "operating room scene" and "cute bedside scene 1".
In the "operating room scene", Subaru was being rushed to the operating room after being seriously injured by Fuuma. Kamui was following closely in tears as he cried out Subaru's name repeatedly. Despite his obvious pain, Subaru got up from his stretcher to embrace Kamui, comforting the boy and telling him that it was not his fault. Nonetheless the pain proved too much and he collapsed into Kamui's arms. As Subaru was wheeled into the room, Kamui stood outside the door, calling out Subaru's name again with tears streaming down his cheeks. This particular panel was reminiscent of Subaru's reaction when Seishirou was wheeled into the operating room after losing his eye.
Then we have the "cute bedside scene 1". Sorata and Arashi entered Subaru's wards, and were stunned to see Kamui holding on dearly to the sleeping Subaru's hand. Later Subaru awoke and Kamui felt guilty all again. Sorata managed to force Kamui out of the room temporarily on the pretext of hunting a vase to put Arashi's flowers. With Arashi and Kamui away, Subaru begged Sorata to take care of Kamui and bring the boy home to rest. When Kamui returned, Sorata did as told and tried to drag Kamui home. But Kamui was unwilling to leave Subaru's side. Subaru told the boy that it was best that he got some rest. Hearing this, Kamui became afraid and, in a halting voice, asked Subaru if he could come and visit him again. Subaru smiled and touched the boy's face. Kamui, thus assured that Subaru was not sending him back out of anger, held on to that hand until Sorata pulled him out of the room.
Whether Kamui was aware of it or not, he was echoing Subaru's own feelings during the time Seishirou was hurt. In that episode of Tokyo Babylon, just before the Bet ended, Subaru stood outside Seishirou's room and analysed his own feelings. He realised that he was crying so badly outside the operating room because he was afraid that Seishirou would be angry with him, that Seishirou would not want to see him anymore, and that Seishirou would hate him. He also realised that he had these fears because Seishirou was now "special" to him. Similarly, Kamui was afraid that Subaru would not want to see him again and that Subaru might hate him. Hence, by the same analogical reasoning, it is not entirely baseless to assume that Subaru was now "special" to Kamui.
X14
Here we have "cute bedside scene 2" and the "tying the tie scene".
Kamui was seriously injured by Fuuma in X13 and was recuperating in his room in X14. Apparently he was unconscious since Sorata and Arashi brought him in. Anyway, he woke up and the very first thing he saw was Subaru's smiling face of relief. Kamui tried to sit up but his rib still hurt and Subaru had to help him down gently on the bed. It was then that Kamui noticed that Subaru's hand was holding on tightly to his. Subaru replied that Kamui did the same thing for him during his time in hospital (see X12). While the entire conversation later focused on Kamui's wish and how it might negatively affect everyone else, one could see that Subaru's and Kamui's hands were all over each other. This scene reinforced the fact that the two react very closely to each other, unlike how the solitary figures they project to everyone else.
The "tying the tie scene" (see left) seemed entirely irrelevant to the plot. Basically Kamui decided to get out of bed and start attending classes, but he was having some problems putting on his tie since he had not recovered completely from his injuries yet. Subaru, whom CLAMP seemed to be suggesting that he was hovering about the boy pretty regularly, took over the tie from Kamui without saying a word and proceeded to tie it for him. This particular panel was played out over 3/4 of a page, with only white space around the two so that the reader's attention is entirely focused on them. Is there more to be read from this scene?
Several Seishirou/Subaru supporters argued that this scene was only to show Subaru's brotherly affections for Kamui. He was tying Kamui's tie just like his sister, Hokuto, used to do it for him. I beg to differ. Hokuto never stood so close to her twin while tying his tie. There are many ways to put a brotherly spin on their relationship but that scene suggests way more. Fan service then? Perhaps. But if CLAMP really wants to mess with our minds, they could easily do it with plenty of Subaru/Kamui illustrations (a rare commodity at the moment).
X16
This volume is better known as the one where Seishirou dies during his fight with Subaru at Rainbow Bridge. However, there is a poignant moment between Subaru and Kamui after the battle, plus some scenes before the battle that hinted at Kamui's special feelings for Subaru.
Earlier on, Kamui, together with Sorata, Arashi and Yuzuriha were waiting at Yasukuni Shrine for a possible attack by the Dragons of Earth. However, once Subaru's kekkai over Rainbow Bridge was raised, Kamui went into a spasm, presumably because he sensed the kekkai. Nevertheless, his reaction to the kekkai was more intense than the other Seals, and his first instinct was to rush towards Rainbow Bridge. As he neared the bridge, he saw Subaru's kekkai dissolving, and the panic in his eyes was palpable. Several scenes during this period comprised mainly of Kamui screaming Subaru's name in loud fonts, with lots of exclamation marks. And when he saw Subaru sobbing over Seishirou's body, Kamui's helpless pain was clearly reflected all over his face.
After the battle, back at the mansion, Kamui hesitated to enter Subaru's room. When he finally did, the first thing he did was not to comfort Subaru's loss, but to apologise. He knew that Subaru wanted to remain behind when the bridge collapsed; yet he brought Subaru back against the man's will. Obviously, Kamui isn't about to let Subaru die.
Like the "touching bedside scene" in X14, it was not the words but the interaction between the two that catches one's attention. While the conversation was again focused on wishes, especially with the final revelation of Subaru's true wish, Subaru's and Kamui's hands were more focused on comforting each other. For example, Kamui was kneeling on the floor and resting his head on Subaru's knees. And when Subaru explained about the Sakurazukamori star on the back of his hands, Kamui's hands were holding onto his. At the same time, Subaru was comforting Kamui through tender caresses on the boy's face. Finally, when Subaru suggested that Kamui should go and get some sleep, we see the two of them holding onto each other's hand, not wanting to let go.
Even though, Subaru disappeared after the conversation, the scene was still significant with regards to their relationship. Besides the tender touches mentioned above, it is critical to note that Subaru chose to leave after talking to Kamui, and not before. It is clear that Subaru has secretly decided to leave the Dragons of Heaven after having killed Seishirou. Nevertheless, a part of him must have realised the impact of such an action on Kamui, and he wanted to comfort the boy before he did so. He did not want Kamui to feel guilty for something that was not his fault. In a significant way (by Subaru's standards), he does care for Kamui.
Further revelations of Kamui's feelings for Subaru is shown in the scenes that take place one month after Subaru's disappearance. Knowing that Arashi was in contact with Hinoto, he wanted to know if the princess had any information with regards to Subaru's location. When Arashi responded in the negative, we can feel his disappointment. Even while Sorata was cheerily giving out instructions to the Seals, Kamui's thoughts was focused on Subaru.
