This is my first multi-chapter fanfic and I hope this is decent.


"Watanuki! Bring out more sake!"

A woman lay lazily on the couch, her kimono draped loosely around her slim figure. Her long black hair hugged her slightly reddish face as she sat up slightly. Her clouded red eyes looked at the mismatched-eyed boy hazily and she dangled an empty wine glass in front of the boy.

"Yuuko-san! If you drink so much, your health would be affected!" Watanuki said but still scrambled up to his feet.

Muttering something unintelligent, he cleared the drinks on the table in front of Yuuko and walked out of the room. Just as he stepped out of the room though, Yuuko called him again. This time, her tone was serious.

"Oh Watanuki, make it two. We have a customer."

Watanuki only narrowed his eyes and walked out wordlessly.


There was the sound of the front door being opened, followed by the cheerful greetings of "Welcome!" from Maru and Moro. There was no sound of footsteps as the door to the room where Yuuko was in, was opened. The guest entered the room and closed the door behind him.

Still lying in the position she was in earlier, Yuuko looked up with no surprise as she focused on the young man in front of her. Her ruby eyes were clear and sharp.

"I see that you have decided to use the front door." There was a hint of a smile in her smooth voice.

"I have a wish to make." The man answered simply.

The door was once again opened as a younger boy stepped into the room. He abruptly stopped as he noticed the presence of another in the room. He put down the sake hurriedly and frowned slightly as he saw Yuuko's rather relaxed position on the couch.

"Is it okay? He's a customer, right?" Watanuki whispered.

"It's fine, it's fine! Subaru is my old friend after all." Yuuko replied, making no motion to lower her voice like Watanuki.

Watanuki took in the man called Subaru before him. He gasped slightly as he saw his eyes. A pair of mismatched eyes, just like his. But this man's one was one honey gold and another an emerald green while his own ones were a gold and aqua blue.

Yuuko gestured for Subaru to join her as she drank her wine. When she saw that he had not moved however, she pouted.

"Hokuto-chan was right. You have changed quite a bit." She waved the wine glass around.

Subaru twitched. "You've met my sister."

"Yes," she turned to him. "She had a wish."

Subaru didn't reply but only stared at the woman. Though his face was still expressionless, it was clear to Yuuko that he wanted her to continue.

"It was for her to find Sakurazuka Seishirou. Part of the price was that knowing you would end up like that. At least the you before the fight on Rainbow Bridge."

Subaru breathed. He met the eyes of Watanuki who stood quietly at the corner of the room and turned back to Yuuko.

"Witch of Dimensions, I wish to see him again."

Upon hearing that, Yuuko narrowed her eyes and sat up properly. "Sumeragi Subaru, you are the 13th Head of the Clan. Or should I say, the Sakurazukamori. You should know better than anyone that the dead cannot be brought back."

There was a gasp from Watanuki as the title of Subaru was revealed.

"But there are alternate dimensions, is there not?"

The witch frowned, putting her wine glass down.

"Yes. But there is a price."

"I know."

"A heavy one."

"I know."

Yuuko sighed, a doleful expression spreading across her pale face.

"Well then, your price is-"


Phew. I finally published this. And this one is just a prologue. Please drop a review and tell me what you think of this. Oh and Yuuko wouldn't be appearing much.
