The night when Watanuki and Yuuko encountered the Raiju Doumeki had gone about his regular business, doing chores and making a meager meal (in comparison to Watanuki's delicious feasts) for supper. With nothing more left to do, he wandered outside to sit and enjoy the cool, damp night air with his bowl of tasteless noodles. When he had finished his gaze turned towards the destroyed spiders web, slowly reaching up to touch the right eye that he had sacrificed half of, and thinking of the conversation they had had the morning before on their way to school. When his fingers came into contact with the skin surrounding his eye, his vision split, the left half showing the dark, rainy temple, and his right showing a bright display of lightening bolts jumping from raindrop to raindrop, illuminating everything in a wash of white-blue light. Unbidden, feelings of wonder, awe, and elation spread through him at the sight, but not of his own accord. Yes, it was beautiful, but he was not one that was moved to near tears when confronted with such exhibits.
He knew from the start that he was seeing what Watanuki was seeing, but for even the smaller teens emotions to surge across the connection they shared, it was strange, and baffling, and...
Comforting.
The next day, when he was let out for lunch by his teacher and he happened upon Watanuki telling Kunogi about the fireworks in the rain, he remembered the feelings of warmth and admiration that the other boy had felt. Later, when the other boy exploded at him for seeing it, and ranted about his loss of privacy, he felt amusement and knew that it was going to be a good week.

Well there you go. Probably not the best, because I couldn't think of what to write and me and my mom are going to Edmonton soon, so it's hurried. But I imagine that if the sights are communicated between their bond, then perhaps emotions are as well...? Maybe, I have to think on it more, but for now, this is how it goes... Enjoy~!
