Author's note: Hey guys, thought I'd make something for the DouxWata fandom! Anyway, I submitted this poem as an article for our school magazine (so yeah, it's COPYRIGHTED) but this time I'm gonna use it for fan fic, with yaoi of course XD. This is an English sonnet so if I made any mistakes about the meter, rhyming scheme and whatnot, please tell me. Iambic pentameter is 10 syllables right? I'm new to this so please read, have fun, and don't sneak off without reviewing! :)

Disclaimer: I do not own xxxHolic. CLAMP does.


CONTRACT

A covenant made which can't be defiled

An agreement upheld as it was made

Rules to follow that cannot be denied

Though time shall pass, the contract will not fade


The promise that was made must be fulfilled

All prices paid for, none violated

All requirements must be met, as instilled

Balance achieved, fully compensated


When one gains, one must also sacrifice

When something is won, something too is lost

When you realize that you become wise

You know that some lines should never be crossed


True resolve is that you know what you'll lose

Yet that is still the path you wish to choose


Author's note 2: I don't know how to continue this, so please PM me for ideas! Your suggestions will motivate me to push through! I kinda got inspired by episode 8 of the first season. :)
