While a certain figure skater found it easy to forget his unfortunate encounter with the seemingly rude, rather stoic man, said stoic man had a hard time removing the fiery blue-eyed male from his mind. As Doumeki went about his business for the next two weeks, the thin man whom he had literally run into kept appearing in his thoughts, though, for what reason, Doumeki did not know.

There had been something about the other man's countenance that had captivated the archer, and something else kept nagging at the back of his mind, though every time Doumeki went to reach for it, it would slip away. Doumeki felt the other man as a puzzle, and he intended to solve it, should they meet again.

Though, the archer highly doubted they would meet again. Surely the encounter had only been by chance, and it was likely the other man had already forgotten him by now, so Doumeki tried his hardest to do the same.

It came as quite a surprise to the golden-eyed man when, two weeks after t heir initial encounter, the two men's paths collided, quite literally, once again.

It was the opening night of the Winter Olympics, and Doumeki had arrived early, out of habit. The stands were only about a third filled when he and his companions, a hot-tempered swordfighter by the name of Kurogane Youou, and a Taekwondo genius called Li Syaoran.

Not long after they had arrived, Doumeki excused himself to get some refreshments, and use the bathroom, mainly out of boredom, and lack of anything to contribute to the conversation. (His friends never minded this all that much. They all had slightly more serious personalities, anyway.) As Doumeki made his way through the thickening crowd of people, he felt something, or someone, run into his chest, and he looked down to see a familiar head of messy black hair stumbling back a few feet.

Doumeki felt his eyes widen slightly in shock as he watched the other man flailing to regain his balance, which, this time, he managed to recover in time before he landed on the ground again. Apparently, he hadn't been moving quite as fast as last time, Doumeki thought to himself idly.

The blue-eyed man looked up at the person he'd run into, and seemed to recognize Doumeki instantly, based on the flash of annoyance that played across his face when he saw the archer.

"You again, hm?" the skater asked, crossing his arms almost impatiently. Doumeki noticed a small badge of sorts on his jacket sleeve, and recognized it quickly as the identification for athletes representing Japan in the Olympics. Well that was an interesting development.

"So, you're an athlete, then?" Doumeki asked, completely ignoring the other man's comment. Strangely enough, this seemed to irritate the blue-eyed man quite a bit.

"Yes, I'm an athlete, and if you don't mind, I'll have to be on my way," he snapped, moving onward with the clear intent of pushing past Doumeki, whether he was in the way or not.

"Good luck," Doumeki said as the blue-eyed man passed his shoulder. For a moment, this seemed to stop the man, who Doumeki noticed belatedly was devoid of his glasses, in his tracks.

"Thank you..." the man replied hesitantly, doubt laced heavily throughout his voice. And with that, the skater disappeared from Doumeki's life once again.

Doumeki eventually purchased the refreshments he'd left his seat to get, and returned to his friends to find them deep in conversation about the athletes competing in the games this year.

"I've heard a lot about that person," Syaoran was saying as Doumeki took his seat, "he's supposed to be the best male figure skater in all of Japan. A lot of people who've seen him perform say they've never seen anything like it."

"I've heard that too," Kurogane replied," but he's rumored to be a weirdo when he's off the ice. He's also pretty notorious for his temper, and OCD-like tendencies."

"That could be true, I mean, no one's perfect. But I hear he's pretty popular with the girls, and quite a few guys, too. A lot of people say it's because of his pale complexion, and his natural blue eyes. They say he looks almost feminine at times. I think they said he usually wears glasses, but puts on contacts for performances."

At this point, Doumeki chose to cut in, feeling like he knew who this person was that they were talking about.

"Who?" Doumeki asked Syaoran.

"Oh, his name is Watanuki Kimihiro. Have you heard of him?" the brunette replied earnestly.

"No," Doumeki replied in his usual monotone. Syaoran shrugged, and turned back to Kurogane, noticing that his friend had slipped deep into thought at his answer.

'Watanuki Kimihiro,' Doumeki tossed the name about in his mind, along with the mystery man from earlier. If they were one and the same, this was bound to get even more interesting. Doumeki noticed, with a jolt that he was, for the first time in a long time, actually getting into something besides archery.

This Mystery Man, Watanuki Kimihiro, was definitely turning into an enigma, and Doumeki was determined to figure him out. A Doumeki never stepped down from a challenge, once he'd accepted.

AN: And here we introduce a few more characters! This won't be the last of the characters introduced from Tsubasa, and there will definitely be more Holic characters coming your way. And there may be character from other series, but Tsubasa and Holic are the only ones for now, hahaha. As an interesting note, I chose Taekwondo for Syaoran because Wikipedia told me it uses a lot of kicking techniques, and Syaoran does love to kick people. So.. yeah, Taekwondo. Haha.

I like this chapter much more than the last one. Now the Olympics themselves are coming into play, as is Watanuki's apparent reputation. (And girlish looks, lol.) The next chapter or two will probably not have any interaction between the two, because I want to set up a bit more of Watanuki and Doumeki's backgrounds and show a bit more of their relationships with their friends and whatnot. But hopefully that won't last too long, hahaha. I'm also liking the switching of narrators between Doumeki and Watanuki between chapters. What do you guys think?

Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed/faved/alerted this so far. You guys are great! :3 Don't forget to tell me what you thought about this chapter, too.

Until next time~
