Prologue


A black limousine stopped in front of the shop, in the mid morning. The shop's owner was still sleeping in his bedroom, and dreaming of what was happening outside of the shop at the moment. He dreamt that he was at the garden, watching a young woman alight the vehicle and walked through the gate of the shop. The engine cut off and an elder man walked briskly around the limousine to the young woman.

"Is this where you wish to build the shop, Mistress?" he asked.

The young woman walked further into the lawn and stopped in front Watanuki Kimihiro. She surveyed the area and nodded with satisfied look.

"This is a good place, Sebastian," she addressed her Butler.

What a stereotypical name for a Butler, thought Watanuki.

"I've checked the official records. The land is currently not occupied," the Butler said.

"Good. Make the arrangements. I want work to start at the end of the week. And remember, use the funds that I have in the other bank. No one should know about this. Especially Father."

Sebastian acknowledged her and bowed, before heading back to the limousine. The mistress looked around while she waited for the limousine to start.

Then they made eye contact.

Watanuki's heart jumped. He should have gotten used to this but its so rare for anyone to see him in a dream.

"Mistress, we're ready to leave for the university," Sebastian informed.

"Also, make arrangements to tear down that ugly building. It goes against the contemporary concept of my shop."

The butler looked at the general direction his mistress was pointing, unaware of Watanuki' s existence.

"Pardon me, but which building are you talking about?"

"... What do you see here?"

"Just a empty piece of land."
The young woman surveyed the area again. The Japanese styled building was still there but the teenager with spectacles was gone already.


Watanuki hastily greeted Moro and Maru, who was waiting for him to wake up. He walked quickly to the entrance.

"What's wrong, Watanuki?"

"What' s wrong, Watanuki?" Moro and Maru chirped curiously.

When he reached the lawn, he saw the limousine start up and drove away.

"What was that about?"


A/N: Good day! I've just finished reading xxxHolic and Tsubasa Chronicle, and wrote this with the intention of wishing that Watanuki had a happily ever after ending! (also, with the intention of practising for NaNoWriMo!) I'm generally not a big fan of Original Characters, but I just couldn't resist writing a fanfic with OC in it! Will be updating with Chapter 1 soon!
