Disclaimer: Hah, I know all you shounen-ai fangirls are mostly straight, and no matter how much you adore your sub/sei or your fuu/kamui YOU STILL WANT YUUTO cuz he's hot and sweet and everything real guys aren't. Which depresses me, cuz you're all chasing him and not me

But that's beside the point. Cuz CLAMP owns him. So that makes it a moot point as well. ^_^

Author's Note: Since my namesake is Kigai Yuuto, and since most people have noted that his character is largely 2-dimensional and mostly undeveloped by CLAMP, I've decided to write a little side-story that's not in the anime or the manga to help people understand him better. Just for kicks, I'm going to throw in Kasumi Karen b/c I think that they'd be really cute together. ^^

Author's 2nd Note: The context of the story is as follows; I'm basing it off of the anime b/c my knowledge of the manga is limited to what my fangirl friends scream at me if I make some grievous error; hence, I'm limiting it to the anime this time. Remember in, like, episode 18 or something when Seiichirou goes for a divorce and Yuuto happens to be there? Seiichirou challenges Yuuto, but there's a lag period of a few hours btw that time and when Karen drugs him up; that's the context of this story. Enjoi. Because Yuuto is such a drastically different character than, say, Kamui or Subaru, my writing style is going to be significantly different; it has to match the personality of the character. Although this does take place outside of the anime, I hope it still mirrors the personality of Yuuto.

AND READ MY OTHER FICS!!!! *fume fume fume* ^_^

Ah well, this ought to be an interesting day. Left the office a bit early today; I have an appointment somewhere. Two appointments, actually, though one's unofficial. My sister wouldn't approve of the official one. It's at this place called The Flower, a soapland. Normally I wouldn't go there, but it's not what you think. I promise. Some people go there for pleasure, but I would like to escape for a little while, maybe have some tea. Kanoe won't be happy that I missed her tea time, but then, Kanoe is a little demanding sometimes. Having her annoyed and maybe a little bit jealous can't be too bad.

Maybe Satsuki-chan will be spying on me, eh?

*Sigh* The walk to the train station is always so monotonous. Always the same. *continues walking*

I met an interesting man today, he was very nice. Aoki Seiichirou, an editor for a local newspaper. He wanted to divorce his wife so that he could be better prepared for the future. It struck me then that he might be a Seal. So I asked him. Seemed like a reasonable thing to do. He said that he was, and challenged me, and I accepted. Why not? There was no reason why I should refuse besides, he was such an agreeable man. I'd hate to take him away from his family for too long, even if he is a Seal.

Now that the battle is coming, so many things seem to make sense now, more than they ever did. Everything in life was always so ordered, so processed, so forced. Everyone has to be somewhere at some time for some specific meeting or encounter. To me that seems unspontaneous. Yes, I have my limits and my obligations in life, like tea every evening with Kanoe and Satsuki-chan *kawaii*, and I enjoy it after a fashion, but life shouldn't always be like that. It should be loose, free, the flow of life should take me where it wishes, and if what may be is my destiny, then let it be. Maybe that's why I'm with the Dragon of the Earth. Mankind is so limiting. Without mankind there is a type of order, but a freer entropy that human society lacks. There is balance, and there is flow.

Maybe that's why I accepted the challenge, to see where life would take me. Maybe that's why I got an appointment at Flower this evening; not to fornicate but to enjoy the evening with someone different. ^^ Ah well. Here I am the walk seemed so short. At least it's warm outside. Tokyo has been seeming much more pleasant these days, even the people are getting nicer.

Too bad.
