"I wonder what they looked like?", the black-haired, glasses-wearing, spaz-attack-pron teen murmered. It was a warm spring day, and Watanuki and Doumeki were walking home from school, and Watanuki had been thinking this thought for so long that he actually wasn't that surprised when he said it out loud.

"What are you talking about?", Doumeki asked, stopping in his tracks. When that small and painful voice came from Watanuki's lip's he knew from past expeirence that it usually meant the idiot had something on his mind that was bothering him.

Watanuki looked up, startled that Doumeki had heard him, his voice had been rather low."Nothing concerning you!!" Watanuki snapped, embarrassed Doumeki had asked him who he was talking about.

Doumeki inwardly flinched at the unusual harshness in the seer's voice. True, Watanuki spent most of his time with Doumki either yelling, screaming, complaining, or back-sassing the exorcise, but his shouts were almost never serious in their mocking, because in truth, Watanuki had actually grown to like the archer, at least on a human level.

Of course, Watanuki would never admit it. He'd much rather give swimming in a tank full of blood thirsty sharks a try then tell anyone he had developed a fondness for the emotionless robot named Doumeki.

Stalking past Doumeki, Watanuki started speed- walking to Yuko's shop. God forbid what nasty punishment she would make him do if he were late.

Doumeki considered catching up to him, shaking some sense into the idiot, and telling him straight up that, yes, it did concern him.

Because anything that would make Watanuki upset is a concern of Doumeki's.

Just as Doumeki had finalized a straightforward plan to knock some brains into the seer did Watanuki slow down and turn back to look at Doumeki. He was about 15 feet away, but Doumeki heard clearly what was said and his heart clenched when the the words reached him.

"If you want to know so badly, I was talking about my parents." With that Watanuki spun around with a easily seen blush on his pale skin and sprinted the last couple of blocks to Yuko's shop.

Doumeki stood their on the side of the road for a bit, staring at the spot Watanuki had been before his burst of energy, and made another solemn vow concerning Watanuki.

No matter what, he would protect Watanuki. He would keep an ultra stern watch over the spirit-attracting magnite, and keep him safe from harm.

Because anything that would hurt, harm, or make Watanuki sad is a concern of Doumeki's.
