For the first time in a long time, Watanuki slept without a problem.

At first the seer was a little reluctant to drift off in a slumber, for he feared that the previous events that happened last time he went to sleep would happen. However, after working himself hard trying to make a White Day present for Doumeki, Watanuki greatly welcomed it, though no matter how hard he tried to ignore it the fear still surrounded him. When he woke up without a scratch or a bruise, or even to the dark aura that usually surrounded his apartment, he couldn't help but smile.

"Yes!" He cheered. "This is definitely a good sign!" He stretched and, with renewed strength, quickly got up and changed into his school uniform. Heading out into the small, quaint kitchen of his apartment, Watanuki grabbed the objects of affection he had made for his two friends, Himawari and Doumeki. Himawari's present consisted of a small, pink package with bright red ribbon tied up in a little bow on top to keep it closed. Inside sat light, fluffy milk chocolate made with great care. Watanuki's face turned a light shade of pink as he put the gift in his pocket, hoping that the girl would like it. The seer then turned towards the archer's present, a small white parcel with a green ribbon tied around it. Inside, as the man had rudely requested, sat white chocolate, made carefully to suit the larger man's taste. Watanuki went from being pink to red.

Stupid Doumeki! This isn't because I like him! It's just showing my gratitude for helping me out for so long! That's IT! Watanuki shoved the small parcel in his pocket and grabbed his bag, opening up the door and nearly jumping out of his skin.

"D-DOUMEKI! Don't do that!" Watanuki gasped, staring up at the man in anger at the sudden cause of déjà vu. "You're going to give me a heart attack one day!" He screamed as he closed his door and walked past the archer who stood there stoically, almost smirking at the color that tinted the seer's cheeks. He followed after the smaller man.

"I came to pick you up." Doumeki said. "I wanted to make sure nothing happened." He was relieved to see that the usually dull blue eyes of his friend were brighter, and he had more energy. Watanuki gave a half hearted glare.

"I'm not a baby you know." He shook his head. "Nothing happened anyways. I was actually able to sleep well." The two continued walking out of the apartment building and onto the sidewalk.

"That's strange. It seemed like the demon was stronger yesterday, so why is it suddenly gone?" Doumeki asked, a look of concern on his face. Watanuki shrugged.

"I'm not sure, but I'm kind of freaking out about it. Luckily Yuuko comes back today." He flashed the archer a smile that was rarely directed towards him. Doumeki nodded as the two entered the school grounds.

School went by slowly, and Watanuki was glad for that. He decided to give his friends the presents he made for them after school before they left, and he was extremely nervous about it. The weight of the objects in his pocket could be felt every time he moved, and it was driving him nuts! He even thought about wimping out and just leaving it in their lockers, but he decided against that. He figured out that the best way for him to give Himawari and Doumeki their chocolates was to do it in person. Besides, Doumeki will come hunting him down sooner or later looking for his chocolate that he requested the night before. The thought that the archer actually WANTED Watanuki to make him chocolate made the shorter man blush. After all, White Day chocolate was used to show affection, related to liking or loving someone. Watanuki turned redder and looked at the tanner man that sat next to him in the corner of his eye. There's no way that Doumeki likes me, let alone LOVE me. He turned towards the front of the room and tried to concentrate on what the teacher was saying with an annoyed look on his face. I don't like him either! He protects me, tries to cheer me up a lot, and helps me out as much as he can, but isn't that what friends do? We're just friends… This chocolate won't mean anything else…right? GAH! Watanuki slammed his head down on his desk, causing several confused stares.

"Watanuki," Doumeki began to ask when all of a sudden the bell rang for class to be dismissed. The short black haired man's head shot up from his desk.

"I have to go find Himawari-chan. Wait for me okay?" He asked. Doumeki shrugged.

"Sure. I have some business to take care of here anyways." Watanuki rushed out the door to the school in a rush and waited patiently for his beloved Himawari.

"Watanuki-kun!" The girl smiled as she stepped out of the building and spotted her friend. "Thanks for lunch! It was really good!" Watanuki blushed as he remembered the bentos he brought for lunch that he shared with her and the archer.

"You're welcome!" He smiled. "But anyways, Himawari-chan…I have something to give you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the two small presents, handing the girl the package one. "It's for White Day." Himawari beamed.

"Thank you so much, Watanuki-kun! It's lovely!" She happily grabbed the small present and smiled.

"I'm glad you liked it!" the blue eyed boy cheered before he quickly became more serious. "Himawari-chan…I-I used…to…like you." He whispered the last part so quietly that he was relieved the girl heard it and he didn't need to repeat himself. Himawari looked down sadly.

"I know, but I didn't know how to tell you that I didn't feel the same." Watanuki sighed.

"I kind of figured as much, but that's okay, because you're a really good friend and I don't want that to change." Himawari smiled.

"I'm glad!" She cocked her head to the side. "So does this mean that you like someone else?" Watanuki thought for a moment.

"I'm not sure…I don't think so at least." In truth, he really didn't know. He used to only pay attention to his feelings for the pigtailed girl, but since he didn't feel that way about her anymore he realized that he's been focusing his attention on a certain person… The dark brown haired girl smiled brightly.

"Well, this person that you're thinking about right now, the one you're planning on giving that other piece of chocolate to, do you enjoy being with them?" she asked. Watanuki jumped and looked at his hand, realizing that he forgot to put the small parcel it back into his pocket. He thought back to Doumeki, and how they went shopping and had ice cream and lunch together. It was…fun. Slowly he nodded his head. "Do you want to make this person happy?" she asked. Watanuki thought back to the promise he made with Doumeki trying to make him happy and about how he actually listens and goes out of his way sometimes just to make a special bento he requested. He nodded again. "And lastly, does this person make YOU feel happy?" Himawari asked. Watanuki didn't even need to think before he nodded his head. The girl clapped her hands together. "Then you DO like Doumeki!" she cheered. Watanuki gasped, to shocked for words.

"W-W-W-W-WHAT?" He screamed, blushing like mad and pulling at his hair. "WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?" the girl giggled.

"Well, you two are such good friends, and you make each other very happy!" Watanuki's face was as red as a tomato, and he hunched over in disbelief.

"There's no way I can like a jerk like that." He said, despite all of the positive thoughts he was thinking about him earlier. Himawari laughed.

"It's okay, Watanuki-kun! I support you! Now you better go give him his chocolate before he leaves!" She gave the young man a bright smile. "I wish you two the best of luck! Tell me how it goes!" With that, she ran off, long brown hair flowing behind her. Watanuki still held the parcel in his hand, and he stood that way for what felt like forever. Maybe…he did…

Watanuki quickly shook his head.

"No way I…" The blue eyed man clutched the parcel in his hand and sighed, putting it back in his pocket. "I better go find him and give him the stupid chocolate." Watanuki muttered, red tinting his face, as he began to walk down the path that led into the courtyard. He kept his face down, repeating the conversation he had with Himawari a moment ago. He did enjoy being with Doumeki, as much as he hated to admit it. Doumeki did make him happy…he did want to make Doumeki happy… but this didn't mean that he liked him, right? Suddenly, he heard a girl's voice and looked up to see a short, light grey haired girl standing in front of the archer. Watanuki quickly hid behind a large oak tree that was just to his right. As soon as the seer touched the tree, something in his brain clicked, like he's done this before. He quickly shook off the feeling and peeked out from the tree.

Doumeki stood there, a normal, emotionless look on his face. The girl he was with was blushing like mad. She had light red eyes and had part of her short hair pulled up on the side of her head. Watanuki, once again, felt the feeling of déjà vu, as something else in his brain clicked. He knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, but he couldn't help himself.

"D-Doumeki-san…I…really like you…" The girl said in a soft voice as she looked down towards the ground. Watanuki's chest stung.

What…? He thought as he heard Doumeki's reply.

"I'm sorry," The girl's head shot up and tears welled up in her eyes. Watanuki's eyes opened up wide as he leaned in a little further.

"D-Do you…like someone else?" The girl asked, her voice lower from being disappointed. Doumeki was silent for a moment before he replied. Watanuki could feel his breathing slow as his body began to slightly tremble. Finally Doumeki spoke up.

"Yeah," The girl gave a small smile and Watanuki's heart skipped a beat, having a bad feeling about what was going to happen next.

"She's really lucky." Watanuki let out a shocked gasp. He stood there, his breathing slowly becoming frantic, as his mind went dark. He backed up, tears threatening to fall, and began trembling.

S-She…? Was the only thing on his mind. He pulled out the parcel with the chocolate he made for the archer and stared at it, tears dripping on it. Watanuki's knees wobbled as he felt something else inside his head click. Before the archer could say anything else he heard a 'thump' from off to the side and turned to see a pained expression on the seers face before running away, dropping a small parcel. Doumeki stared in shock as he recognized this scene.

"WATANUKI!" He called out, chasing after the man and leaving the girl behind. Watanuki ignored the frantic calls from behind him as he continued running, his long legs making the task easier.

I-I'm an idiot. What was I expecting? I knew he didn't like me. I-I'm so stupid! Even though I told myself over a million times I didn't… I-I guess…I really…liked Doumeki…. Watanuki turned the corner, tears flowing freely from his eyes. Knowing he lost the man a while back, Watanuki stopped and fell to his knees in front of the familiar temple, burying his face in his hands.

"I-I…hate myself." He sobbed. He felt his muscles tense and his eyes opened wide at the sudden feeling of pain. It felt as if his body was on fire! He remembered the last time he felt like this… "No…" Watanuki gasped as the last second as he grasped his chest and leaned forward. He screamed and tried his best to get air in his lungs but to no avail.

"Finally…you're finally ready…" The familiar cackling could be heard and Watanuki trembled.

"WATANUKI!" The seer strained his head and looked to see Doumeki running towards him. Something else inside his head clicked.

"Dou…me…ki…" Watanuki gasped as he felt more pain going through his chest. "It…hurts…!" Doumeki rushed to the seer's side and bent over, trying to see the face of the paler man.

"Watanuki, look at me," He ordered. Watanuki, despite the pain looked up at the archer. Doumeki almost gasped as he saw one of Watanuki's blue eyes turn a dark red, and saw the other one starting to turn red around the edges. Quickly Doumeki got up, knowing that the demon was starting to take complete control of the smaller man. Despite how much he wanted to help, he couldn't. He needed to get the boy to Yuuko's immediately. He ran into the gates of the temple and grabbed his bow that happened to be by the entrance and he ran back to Watanuki's side. "Watanuki!" He called out after he noticed the seer stopped moving. He watched in horror as the limp body fell to the ground, reaching out and catching the man before he hit the concrete. "Watanuki, Watanuki!" He shouted, shaking the man. The bow was dropped by his side as he embraced the black haired man. "Don't worry; I'm going to help you." He tried to calmly say, though his voice was a little shaky. He squeezed Watanuki tighter, the seer's face resting on the crook of his neck.

"Dou…me…ki…" Doumeki let out a yelp of pain as he pushed the man back and his hand flew to his shoulder. He looked at his hand to reveal a red sticky substance leaking from what appeared to be a bite wound. He looked forward in horror to see Watanuki's body nimbly sitting up and piercing red eyes boring into his own as if reading his soul. Blood was present on the side of the pale lips which were curved upwards to reveal a dark and sinister grin. The tongue licked up the remainder blood and the creature laughed darkly.

"Hmmm, your blood is sour, not really to my liking I'm afraid."

"Watanuki…" Doumeki breathed, giving a death glare to the body that sat in front of him. He knew this was the demon now, and not his beloved friend. The demon gave a sheepish grin.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but this is MY body now,"
