Title: Spiral
Fandom: xxxHOLiC
Characters/Pairings: Clow, Yuuko
Disclaimer: xxxHOLiC belongs to CLAMP. I just own my thoughts which I used to create this story.
Notes: I'm not really fully satisfied with this. Well, this is my first fic in this fandom, so I suppose it's kind of expected. Anyway, I appreciate all comments/criticisms, especially on characterization. (I'm going to need all the help I can get.)
Summary: Clow likes answering questions without really answering them. Yuuko is not amused.

It was quiet that night. Both of them were sitting on Yuuko's porch drinking sake. Yuuko found the silence unnerving, purposely clinking her glass to the bottle and gulping the sake down like she hadn't drunk in years. Clow didn't mind it as much, as he was lost in his own thoughts--a thing he had been doing more of lately.
"Did you ever think that maybe it wouldn't work?" Yuuko asked suddenly, snapping him out of his reverie.
He paused for a moment, a thoughtful look on his face. "Did you?"
Yuuko looked at her glass of sake, as if searching it for some sort of hidden meaning behind his words. Her eyes still didn't meet his. "Was that your answer?" Her voice was almost a whisper.
Clow looked at her, smiling, "I believe that was my question."
"Idiot," She spat, looking at him with an annoyed expression. "What I meant was, was my answer to your question your answer to my question?"
Clow just kept on smiling.
Yuuko groaned, massaging her temples," You know, you're really irritating sometimes."
Clow's grin grew even wider. Yuuko gulped down another glass of sake.
