The "house boy objected, "Wouldn't they need Mokona? Don't you need this one to keep in touch with Sayaoran and Sakura? And the others..."

"I see you have been learning," she gave a glance with her golden eyes at the guy with the tea kettle, "They already have someone able to move between worlds..."

Hiraki objected, "Never, never in a million years..."

"Please, sir," Abtony placed two slices in front of him, "I paid the price..."

He pulled out from the egg-shaped backpack, "These are the best confectionaries in the entire world, after all I managed to steal them from 20 Masks himself!"

(20 Masks, a gentleman thief that looks similar to Tuxedo Mask, in reality he is Injun Akira, class treasurer and gourmet chef. 20 Masks Menseu, CLAMP. Abtony here has claimed to have done the impossible, steal something from 20 Masks)

"You what! What are you doing, boy?"

"Only a thief can steal from a thief," he grinned back, "I am both a gentleman thief and an English sorcerer..."

"One must not charge too much or too little, I only count two out of four," the witch said coldly in her usual fashion, "The price must be reasonable, equitable, and fair... like your sword, ex-Commander Yon, per say..."

"I don't know what you are talking about," the blue-haired teen jealously clutched her bracelet, "All I know is that you have something..."

She tapped her eyepiece, "The power ratings here are off the scale..."

Yon pointed at the witch, "the houseboy," and Abtony, "It says that you are at least a 5-leaf... and that is quite impossible, I only know of the three three-leaves..."

(Leaf. Powerful psychics are ranked 1 at the weakest 4 at the highest. CLOVER, CLAMP. Yon must have met A, B, or C, she does not know about Suu, the only known late Four-leaf.)

"Your sword, Yon," Yuuko repeated, "In giving it up, you can turn your back on killing... for now..."

"Take it," she unclasped the item and trust it forward, unlike Kurogane, she wanted be rid of it.

"That leaves you, Te..."

"Will 'his do? Something rare, very rare," the woman unhooked two silver cufflinks, her tail twitching all the while, "My father's..."

The "houseboy" blinked, they were very beautiful, though his eyes were more set on the owner, and there was something about her other than the obvious extra parts...

"I only off'r cause you're ey'in' my bell," she clutched the golden object suspended from a string from around her neck, "No creature livin' or dead may have it, necromanc'r..."

"Pheh," she was unconcerned by Te's threat, "If I wanted your soul, Chipmunk-cheeks," she rubbed her hand over the girl's breast, "I would take it."

(Te, is a half-human with glasses, and a chipmunk's tail... She looks like the self-images of Clamp in the back of most of their manga.)

The witch handed the clips to the "houseboy," "The price has been paid, good luck, you will need it."

As he stared at the cufflinks and the strange new group disappears, she sighed, "I told you to place them in the treasure room..."

"If you were wondering, Watanuki, "someone" felt sorry for Sakura, so I sent them to help out a little..."

"I don't say anything!"

"You did think it."

"Stop doing that!"

"Just be a man and take it..."

She purred giving him a slight kiss on the cheek.
