Blood
I will do whatever I can to save you. While doing so I have to take responsibility. Responsibility for saving you.
"Why can't we give the blood directly to him?" Watanuki asked don't liking the thought of swallowing blood that much, but if he had to do it, there was no questioning whether to do it or not. He would do everything in his power to save the one he cared for the most.
"If we give him the blood directly it will be repelled. It will not have any effect. Harukas blood is the same as Domekis, and right now Domekis blood is infected by yours. Giving him it directly will be of no use." Yuuko looked at Watanuki. Her hair blowing slightly in a wind that came from nowhere. "But if you swallow it and let is mix with you blood it will be different. Your blood will then have the power to repel spirits, thus the one tormenting Domeki"
Watanuki didn't quite understand the words of the witch. Yuuko had a way of explaining something very good, but then again the one listing knows that something is hidden. She tells you everything there is to know, but still there is something missing, some unseen part that she keeps to herself.
Watanuki opened his mouth to ask a question that had been bothering him. However, before a sound left his lips, the witch lifted her hand, indicating for him not to speak.
"I will not tell you," Yuuko said. "That is not a thing you need to know… yet…" Yuuko turned towards Maru and Moro. "Go get what I need in the treasure room"
Watanuki didn't know how Yuuko knew things that he thought. It didn't scare him though. At first Watanuki thought of Yuuko like an evil and greedy salesperson and that was partly true, but as time had passed he had gained a huge respect from the witch. Although she is clearly selfish she does care for other people, Watanuki thought. If she had the choice to act from her own will and not through other people's wishes, I think she will have used her powers for the good of others.
Maru and Moro came running into the room, Moro holding a sealed bottle. She gave it to Yuuko and she held it between two slender fingers. She gave it to Watanuki. He wondered about the question that Yuuko had stopped him from uttering. The question he didn't need to know yet. What did Haruka wish for?
"You know what it is that you have to do" Yuuko said looking at Watanuki holding the bottle"
Watanuki opened the seal over the top of the bottle. The bottle was dusty, his fingers sweeping it away with each touch, revealing the color of red from inside. He lifted the bottle to his lips, closed his eyes and swallowed the red thick liquid. It felt strangely warm running down his throat. When the last drop had vanished into his mouth, Watanuki felt sick. He fell to his knees dropping the bottle on his way down. The bottle shattered into little pieces, small drops of red staining the floor.
Thanks for all the reviews so far. I love to get reviews.
