Watanuki was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen, the light of the full moon coming through the window above the sink,Watanuki felt relieved thinking that one more day as Yuuko's slave was coming to an end, it was a pretty "normal" at least in the way he perceived normal Yuuko on the other hand had a total different way of opinion, no customers came to grant their wishes,Yuuko hadn't send him in a bizarre quest, and he had perfected the art of ignoring Mokona,Maro and Moro, so the only thing left was to finish the dishes and serve Yuuko her usual bottle of after-dinner wine once that was over he was free to go home and rest, rest until the next day that is.
He sighed at the terrifying idea of tomorrow and he banished it in hopes that it would be his last day, not that Yuuko ever told him how long he would have to work for her which made him feel enraged. With a long face he pulled two crystal glasses with butterfly patterns from the cupboards beside the sink and he went to the wooden richly decorated cabinet where Yuuko kept her most "priceless treasure", it was then when he heard the little jiggling of the front door bell. A chill came down his spine, he felt the temperature plumb into zero, Watanuki's heart started to beat faster and faster such fear he hadn't felt in his entire life and he was cursed with spirit vision he lived a life where seeing ghosts and demons were a part of his everyday life, what was the reason that out of nowhere he felt so horrified like the Angel of Death had just walked in, then again with Yuuko's clientele it could just be Death.
Shaking he started to walk toward the main hall where he had left Yuko talking to the phone with some elderly woman that Yuuko respectfully called the 12th Sumeragi clan master, Yuuko had seemed actually sad when speaking to the woman but Watanuki had dismissed it, Yuuko could act like she was six years old at one moment and a wise philosopher the next. When he came in the living room his mouth dropped firstly Yuuko wasn't wearing the black sweater decorated with silver crescent moons and a long black skirt, but her "business clothes" he had seen her wear them only one time in the past when Syaoran and his strange companions started their journey across dimensions, secondly Maro and Moro were sitting still and silent behind her, thirdly Mokona was nowhere to be found, but the most bizarre of all was the man standing in front of Yuuko, the tall thin man wrapped in a white cloak with huge gothic red crosses across it's two sides, sakura blossoms swirling around him, a white hood covering his face.
Shaking Watanuki approached Yuuko's side, now close enough to see the handsome face of the strange man he couldn't be more than twenty five, with sort raven hair a gold chain around his neck, hanging by the chain a gold talisman with a small black pentacle engraved.
"Yuuko…"Watanuki whispered, it was so hard for him to speak, his mouth was dry he was sweating why did he feel so scared who was this man? He wanted to ask all this questions but something in his head screamed to stay silent, he caught a glimpse of the man giving him a small grin, Yuuko didn't even turn to look at Watanuki, which frightened him even more if possible.
"Your help… I believe my presence scares him?" The man's voice sounded soft, kind and utterly fake even in his condition Watanuki could tell, he didn't even try to hide it, the stranger simply asked from courtesy not concern. Yuuko had remained silent until that point with a serious look in her eyes she turned to Watanuki and ordered him in a cold tone to go and wait in the treasure room, Watanuki felt more shocked that scared, Yuuko didn't care that he was white as a sheet and she simply dictated him to leave, before he could process the thought Maro and Moro grabbed him by the arms and led him towards the staircase, Watanuki was once again surprised it was the first time the children didn't bounce and sing their faces were serious and dark. Then it hit Watanuki it could be that he wasn't the only one scared.
