It's Hitsuzen's Way…

I do not own xxxHolic, and probably never will…

Yuko was drinking sake( as usual) when Watanuki, along with Domeki stormed in the room Yuko was lazily doing transactions.

" Why are you here Watanuki? Ahhhhhhhh, I get it! You wanna pour me more sake and work overtime right?" Yuko said as Watanuki's eyes filled with rage. As he got steam pouring out his ears, he angrily shouted " YOU PLAY A TRICK ON US AND YOU JUST WANNA FORCE ME TO POUR SAKE?! YOU ARE CRAZY YUKO!" He then raised his arms in the air, and surprisingly, along with Domeki's.

" Why are you getting so mad at me Watanuki? You still remember what I'm capable of, right? Or have you forgotten that I am the one who will be removing your cursed spirit vision, in 2 months… this will have to be recorded" she mumbled as she got a piece of paper " Makona!!! Please bring me 2 more bottles of sake! Oh, and don't forget the ceremonial cloth! ... We have a lot of preparations Watanuki, please don't disturb me unless I call for you." She said as she became more serious .

" Uhuh, yeah Yuko-san, sorry about that, but have you forgotten… YOU CHAINED ME TO DOMEKI! AND I CAN'T FIND THE KEYS!" Watanuki said, breathing heavily. You see, he has been trying to ask Yuko-san to unchain them for quite a while now, but she was always too busy preparing for the moment Watanuki can be rid of seeing spirits. Little did he know, Yuko didn't plan this all herself.

AN: I mean, can you believe it? Yuko didn't actually plan chaining them together. It's only a matter of time before… oops, wait, sorry, almost slipped. Hehehehe.:-)

" I'm sorry Watanuki, Domeki, but I can't unchain you. Someone wished you be chained to Domeki for a fortnight. You can guess who that could be right?"

" Hello Yuko-san! Here's my payment! A locket from my birthday! I guess it was worth it though… getting them chained to reveal wha- WATANUKI! DOMEKI!" she ( yup, you can guess it now) said, frozen in the spot where she said 'what'. It was Himawari. Plain as day. Beautiful as ever, well to Watanuki.

"Hi-Hi-Himawari? You chained us?"

"Yup, not necessarily me but, yup it was me"

" How could you Himawari-chan … waaaaaaaaaaah!" ( need I say who said that?)

" Calm down Watanuki", Yuko said to "save the day", " I planned to do this with cute little Himawari-chan here. We only wanted to do some experiments… hehehehe. We'll see what would happen after .. uh… ah… 8 days more!" she said with a toothy grin.

Watanuki could only imagine how he would spend 8 more nights without the temptation to finally kiss Domeki.


A few hours later, they came out the grocery store with a handful of things. Considering what they looked like, it looks like they will have a few things to say to us.

Cookietastic101: You ready Watanuki?

Watanuki: Sure but, aren't you invading privacy?

Cookietastic101: Just shush Watanuki, the flashback of your side is about to start.

AN: ITALICS MEAN THINKING OR STORY TELLING

Watanuki's Side of the Story: ( woosh)

I was walking to the beef department to get Yuko her premium cuts. Just before I could grab which piece I thought was best, Domeki grabbed another one, put it on the counter and paid. ( the counter for their grocery store has a specially made platform for express buying)

" Domeki, what the hell are you doing?!" I said so that he would actually turn around and at least talk to me. Domeki simply replied " I'm getting our dinner, you're cooking, right?". I banged my head on the wall and said to myself 'Uhhhhhhh, what did I get myself into, stupid trickery of Yuko. Well, at least my spirit vision will be gone in 2 months'

" Watanuki, you got any cash? We're short 150 yen" he said casually, not minding me still banging my head on the wall. He gave me a stare for about a few seconds before he said, " Do you mind not embarrassing me in front of these people?", as I realized people were giving me stares too as they walked by. Then I thought to myself ' 2 months is a long way to go…'

We left the beef department with our ( including Yuko's) dinner.

We then moved to the next aisle where we had to buy a shower sheet to separate us while we were sleeping. If this was gonna last 8 days, we might as well just buy the damn shower sheet I was fussing about. Domeki was so irritated at me for being such a drama * ahem* queen. He said " Why do you wanna waste money on a shower curtain if we already slept together before?".

AN: Sleep together as in, camping out, with an inflatable mattress for a few days. Got you guys didn't I ? Hehehehe!

He just had to say it. At that last statement Domeki said, I began to remember horrible memories of camping out with Domeki, ' He bossed me around, made me make dishes that needed a HUGE pan.' I shuddered just thinking about it. We had a little argument, then left the store with the feeling of being stared at by the people inside. I was used to it already, but it still felt weird.

END OF FLASHBACK!


Sorry I couldn't continue with Domeki's side of the story, but I had to practice playing Scrabble for our Championship in school. Wish me luck! I might finish the next chapter in 1-2 days. PLEASE REVIEW! FIRST DECENT FANFIC I'VE WRITTEN!
