You are who they all come to for answers to their questions and solutions to their problems. So when they come, you know what to expect. You feel empowered by the knowledge that you have. You are confident that your expectations are always true. But you should remember the wise words that are always almost never heeded.

Expect the Unexpected.

Forsaken Purity,

May I Grant Your Wish?

"Oh, Watanuki! More sake!" called Yuko "Yeah, more sake. And I want some sour plums" followed Mokona "Sake! Sake! Sake! Sour Plums!" cheered Maru and Moro

As usual Yuko was slouched on her chair drinking more than the medically recommend amount of sake.

"Ok ok, I'll go get your sake" grumbled Wantanuki, but as he opened the sliding door to the room they heard the shop door open and someone call out.

"Hello?"

"A guest for Mistress! A customer! A customer!" Maru and Moro danced.

"On second thought please fetch our guest" said Yuko as she sat up.

Watanuki rid himself of the smock as walked to the door.

"Hello, welcome to the shop."

"Shop? What kind of shop?"

"I'll let the mistress of the shop tell you herself"

Who Watanauki met at the door was a beautiful young woman. She was probably just a few years older than him. She long waist-length black hair the end in soft waves. She had a beautiful heart shaped face and stunning blue eyes. She was wearing a black Chinese style short- sleeve fighting kimono that had a silver border with sliver very lose pants underneath. The pants looked like they could be hakama s if it wasn't for the fact you could see that they didn't have the missing pocket area, which you could see because the splits on the sides went up to her hips. There were also large billowing silver sleeves attached to the short sleeves of the kimono by straps (straps were black with silver buckles). On her feet thigh high (not that he could tell. They were under her pants.) black lace up boots. All in all she was very beautiful but there seemed to be a certain air of melancholy around her.

As he walked her to were Yuko was she looked around. Her expressionless face seemed to grow suspicious the farther they walked. Finally they reached Yuko. Maru and Moro had brought a chair for the guest and placed it in front of Yuko.

"Your shop gave me quite the compelling feeling to come in." she said. "I assume that this happens to many people."

"Yes it does." 'She can't ordinary if she was consciously aware of the pull.' thought Yuko, as usually people walked in with out knowing why.

"I'm Kagome Higurashi, and you are?" the women introduced herself.

"Yuko Ichihara"

"My dear, do you believe in coincidence?" asked Yuko.

"No"

"Then it is inevitable that you would come here, for you need something which I can help you with." Started Yuko, then she asked,

"Tell me, what is your wish?"
