This a XxxHolic fanfiction, but I claim no rights to XxxHolic which is copyright of Clamp. [Sigh, I wish I did though.] The Watanuki Kimihiro and Doumeki Shizuka portrayed in this fanfiction are not the originals, but their counterparts in a different world. Do not expect them to act exactly like the originals. Other than that, for now this will remain rated T, since I haven't decided if there will be much yaoi in it or not. So be WARNED! Please enjoy!

An Immortals Heart

Chapter 1.

Doumeki stared down at the still form in his arms. It had long since lost the spark of life and was now cold and limp. Just an empty husk that mimicked it's original owner.

Even as he sat there, the blood seeped further into the loose soil that made up the road they were on. Dark gray clouds created bad light and turned the sky into a sullen gray that matched his emotions at the moment.

And just as quickly, the clouds tried to change his mood. Releasing a wave of rain that drenched everything in a few minutes, causing any blood that remained on the two bodies to wash away with what had soaked into the soil. He refused to mimic the clouds though, keeping his tears in check. He couldn't shed them yet, no there was still something left undone, that needed to be fixed, something that nagged at the back of his mind.

Than a command went through his mind: stand. He stood, the limp body held securely in his arms. As his body stilled his legs began to move on their own. He didn't fight it, somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew they were leading him somewhere to finish what had been left undone.

He stood in front of the ally that led to the strange building that had drawn him in. Even in the dim lighting, the building seemed to stand out and yet it blended in with its surroundings perfectly.

He wasted no time in traversing the short distance of the ally. He wasn't even surprised when he reached the door and it opened, showing two little girls, one pink haired, the other blue, with solemn faces as they stared at him.

"The Mistress is waiting for you." Their voices were a hallow sync that echoed through his mind. He just nodded to them and followed, their foot steps silent on the polished wooden floor.

He arrived at a sliding door, with a side ways crescent moon on it. It was pulled open to reveal a dim lit room, smoke floating and clogging the air as the person smoking the pipe reclined on a low backed sofa, clothes barely covering her curing body. Ebony hair laying in gentle waves around her, crimson eyes looking at him with the knowledge of the world hidden in their depths.

He knew instantly that she could help him. And he would pay what ever price to have his wish granted.

"Your wish…" she paused for a moment, looking him in the eye. "It will cost you greatly. Are you sure you want this?"

"Yes." His reply was curt and short.

"I can not bring back the dead. No matter how much you wish I can't bring this empty husk back to life." He felt anger begin to well up inside him. Was she toying with him saying she could grant his wish than saying she couldn't.

"But…" She stopped again and his hopes rose slightly. "I can make it to where you two will meet in another life. If that is what you want. He won't be exactly the same, but he will still have the same soul. So again are you sure?"

"Yes, I'll pay whet ever I must to be with him." She nodded.

"Than here is the price. Half and only half of you immortality is needed to pay the price, but it will not go to me. It will go to him if he will take it. That is also part of the price. You must do what you were unable to do this time around. If not, than he will die just like this one."

He stared at her. The one thing he thought was an impossible task and the only way he could be with him. He nodded, it would be worth it.

"Than sleep and when one hundred years and one day have passed, awaken to a new world." He felt his body start to float and his mind started to black out. He felt the limp body in his arms began to fall and tighten his grip as he finally lost consciousness. A small voice whispered softly to him, "Come to me when you awaken. You will know the way." And it was gone.

Yuuko stared at the limp forms in front of her. "Sleep Doumeki Shizuka, all will go well if you can keep you end of the wish." She bent down and pried the body from his arms. Lifting it up she stared down at the face. "Will you except his offer next time Watanuki, his offer of love and of immortality?" She carried the body off as Maru and Moro carried Doumeki's body off to one of her many rooms.

Here is the first Chapter to hopefully a long DouWata fic, like my last one. It was kind of depressing to write this, but worth it. And again this is a Doumeki and a Watanuki from a different world. Though from the looks of things, this Doumeki will be going to another world when he wakes up. More will be explained to you shortly, so please be patient if this isn't very clear to you.

I'll get chapter 2 up when I can but I just keep piling more stories onto my already huge fanfic load, so be patient if it takes longer than usual.

Enjoy!

Until next time.
