Series: xxxholic, Tsubasa Resvoir Chronicles
Character: Yuuko, Mokona Mokona
Excerpt: They were a mirror image, their thoughts reflected one another, and they were more than just each other's twin.
A/N: Kind of random. It went off in a direction I didn't expect. And it's yet another old piece.

It was a strange connection they have, one that Yuuko noted from time to time. She couldn't explain it herself properly, even though she did play a hand in their creation. Mokona Mokona were both unique, with abilities she hadn't quite explored yet. What she knew they can do was because she wanted them to have those abilities. When she wanted something, she rarely ever failed to get it.
"I miss Mokona Mokona," her black one said. "Mokona Mokona is hurt and it hurts me too."
Like this connection, this ability to feel each other's pain. It wasn't planned and yet it appeared.
Sometimes, she would notice it when her Mokona would say, "It's fun teasing Watanuki," and later the white one she sent away would say the same thing, except mentioning Kurogane as the target. Sometimes they'd eat the same thing, move the same way, make the same joke.
A pleasant surprise.
(And it was nice to be surprised once in a while, instead of being the one doing the surprises. A twist in her life, a thing to look forward to that she wouldn't know the results to.)
They were a mirror image, their thoughts reflect one another, and they are more than just twins. Their hearts were in sync, beating to the same tune, a dance only the two of them could understand. Breathe in, breathe out, tease now, sleep later. If Yuuko had to think about it, she would say that they were nearly the same creature, one a shadow of the other. Which one was the shadow, she didn't know, but they were tied together, woven tightly together in a tapestry of dreams and desires.
That might be why when the other Mokona got hurt, when the other Sakura and her other group meet other copies and got hurt because of that, her Mokona would get hurt too. That might be why her Mokona would cry a little before turning brave, mimicking the action of the other.
Watanuki walked into the room and Yuuko smiled.
"We could hold a party for them," she suggested. Mokona cheered up and Watanuki started to say something about alcohol (hopefully about when he would give it).
She didn't like to consider the possibilities sometimes. Why should she?
Yuuko would rather just sit back and watch the whole thing unravel.
