Chapter 9 - Recovery

The pair soon reached the pharmacy, where Yuuko had a tab for such things like her hangover medicine. Doumeki had been on several trips with Watanuki to pick up the medicine for the witch, so he was well known to the two young men behind the counter today.

'Oi' Kazahaya."

"Doumeki, we were kind of expecting you, we heard Watanuki had an accident. Is he alright? How many bottles do you need for Yuuko? Hey, who's the cute girl?" The talkative young man with blondish hair behind the counter asked. A taller dark haired male came from out of the back room. He looked at the two teens standing with Kazahaya, walking around the counter he came up to Doumeki.

"I need to talk to you. Kazahaya, go get a couple of the bottles we stashed for Yuuko-san and give them to the girl."

"Yeah, sure thing Rikuo. Hey, stay here a sec, I'll be right back. What's your name? I'm Kazahaya….." The two taller and much quieter males stepped away from the counter, Kazahaya having retrieved the medicine was now happily chatting away with Aya.

"She was the one who healed Watanuki." Rikuo nodded towards the two blondes, it was a statement, not a question.

"Yes"

"Keep her close to you, her shields are almost non-existent. She may 'look' fine but she's not, make sure she eats at least every 2-3 hours until her reserves are built back up. Until then protect her."

"Always"

"Good"

The two quiet young men easily understood one another, words were not as important as actions or intentions. Walking back towards to the counter Kazahaya looking up spotted them.

"Rikuo, Aya–Chan and I were talking, once Watanuki is back on his feet we should all go on a triple date together. Isn't that a great idea?" The larger male sighed.

"Yeah, whatever"

Upon reaching The Shop…

"Doumeki" "Doumeki is back" Chirped the little girls Maru and Moro. Voices getting louder and louder they dragged Aya and Doumeki by the hands towards the den.

"Doumeki to see the Mistress" "To see the Mistress"

"GIRLS!.. ohh my head. Not so loud." Yuuko was lying upon the chaise, her eyes half closed and not because of any scheming thoughts for once, holding a bag of ice to her head, and she appeared to be a very interesting shade of green. Doumeki was walking into the room with the bag of medicine, Aya walking slightly behind him, when suddenly his eyesight was completely blocked by a ball of black fur.

"Meki is here! Yea, let's all drink some SAKE!" He pealed the animated plush toy from his face, Mokona was completely undaunted. He immediately launched himself at Aya's bosom burying his face in the ample cleavage he found there.

"Mmmmuph, Aya-chan, mm smells so mm good." THAT did it, tossing the bag of medicine to the ill woman on the chaise, who immediate opened one of the bottles and started guzzling the contents. Doumeki grabbed the lecherous pork bun by the ears and drop kicked it out the open door into the garden. Aya meanwhile tried to stifle her laughter during the whole episode. Damn that was funny as hell.

"My, My Doumeki-kun a little possessive aren't we." The now slightly less green Witch said. Doumeki just gave her a hard stare.

"….."

"Um yes, well Watanuki should be up about now. Why don't you two go see him, I'm sure he will love the company." {and I need more time to recover properly, urp, a lot more time}

"Hn"

Still giggling Aya grabbed Doumeki by the arm and dragged, I mean led him from the room and down the hall towards the room where Watanuki was recuperating. Opening the door they found Watanuki awake and struggling to sit up. They went quickly to the bed, Doumeki grabbing the seer and helping him up into a sitting position while Aya placed large fluffy pillows comfortably behind him. Once he was all settled she took one of his hands into both of hers and brought the hand up to her cheek, closing her eyes.

"Oi"

"Oi, back atcha Idiot"

"Kimi-chan, I'm so glad to see you awake and looking so well, do you need anything, anything at all? Can I get you something to eat? That's it! I'll make you a hearty broth." While speaking Aya had begun brushing the ever present bangs out of his eyes, and looking deeply into those beautiful mis-matched eyes. Placing a hand upon his cheek she leaned forward and gave the seer a gentle kiss upon his lips, before standing up to go to the kitchen.

"Hmmm, I should probably also make lunch, and then some snacks for Yuuko and Mokona to have later…." Looking at the Kimono she was wearing, Aya's brows creased and she pursed her lips. "Kimi where is your apron? I don't want to spill anything on this beautiful Kimono."

"It's on a peg in the kitchen you won't miss it"

"Awesome! Okay you two play nice" Aya was smiling as she started to walk out of the room, she turned in the doorway and wagged a finger at them. "Kimi, no yelling, flailing or any of that nonsense. Zuka don't you dare egg him on either."

"Who me?"

Laughing she left the room and went to the kitchen to start the gargantuan task of making enough food for the ever snacking Drunken Dimensional Witch and her bottomless pit of a drinking buddy. The boys watched her walk down the hall toward the kitchen. Maru, Moro and Mokona, seeing her heading towards the kitchen….

"Yippee! Aya-chans going to make us some snacks, Mokona will help her in the kitchen." The Black Manjuu bounced after her.

"Helping" "Helping in the kitchen" The little girls raced after Aya and Mokona, eager to be doing something and hoping to get some extra special treats if possible. Doumeki had scooted his body in between that of the seer and his pillows so that he was the one supporting the slender teen's weight against his chest, his left arm wrapped gently around the smaller male. Watanuki leaning into the archer had laced the fingers of one of his hands with that of the Archer.

"You're in love with her"

"Hn, You too" Watanuki, began to softly chuckle and moving a little to the side so he could turn his head to look at the larger male behind him.

"You do realize we've had this conversation before, right? The day I realized you 'liked' me and I realized I might just 'like' you back. So instead of hyperventilating, going into shock and all the usual stuff, I'm going to just jump to the end for once."

"Normally I'd ask you if you'd hit your head"

"Except that I really did, eh." Watanuki Laughed weakly

"Hn"

"Oh, and well Haruka–san visited me last night too, so I've already had some time to think about this, about us."

"Kimihiro" Doumeki shifted the smaller boy leaning against him just enough so that he could turn and gaze into the mis-matched eyes of the Seer, who was blushing a becoming shade of pink. Watanuki lifted his face as Doumeki captured the soft sweet lips of the boy he loved so much in a tender kiss.

"I'm going to make you say it someday"

"Hmmm" Doumeki initiated another kiss a little deeper this time, gently cupping Watanuki's head with his free hand.

"No really Shizuka, come on say it."

"Idiot"

"Yeah, Me too."

Aya stood in the doorway a tray of hot tea, snacks and the chicken broth forgotten, as she watched her boys having a moment. Mokona was hiding in the folds of her Kimono taping the whole thing so Yuuko and Himiwari could watch it later, grinning like a maniac the whole time. Catching sight of the black manjuu at her feet and the metal object he was holding.

"Mo-ko-naaaa…!"

"hehehe"

"Crap, not again. That's IT you drunken excuse for a plush toy. When I'm outta this bed I'm rolling you in Tempura and deep frying your ass! YOU HEAR ME! " Watanuki yelled from the bed, Doumeki just sighed holding the Seer just a little tighter in just case he decided to actually try and chase the black bun of evil.

"What the hell do you think they do with all those pictures and video tape anyway?" Grumbled the irate seer.

"Sell it?"

"Bwoof! Tray. Someone. Take. The. Tray."

"Aya-chan? Aya!" Cried Watanuki, while Doumeki dove out from behind the Seer and grabbed the tray of hot liquids and snacks from the shaking girl before she dropped them. He placed them on a nearby table. Once free of her burden, Aya sank to her knees one arm wrapped around her stomach the other grasping the edge of the bed, and started... laughing hysterically.

"Oh! HAHAHA…Oh Gods… In-in-internet."

"WHAT! Someone go get me the laptop."

A few minutes later…..

"What the Fu... YYYUUUKKKKOOOO!"

"Well that explains were she gets the money for all that Sake."

In another part of the house the extremely wise Witch of Dimensions decided it was the perfect time to take a shopping trip, to the world of Piffle to be exact. The equally wise Mokona went with her.

By the time lunch was ready Himiwari had joined them. Watanuki believing that his pure, sweet and 'oh so innocent' Himiwari-chan would be horrified to learn about the 'pay-per-view' internet site. He threatened (ahem advised) his friends to keep it from her. He had no idea that most of the footage and photographic stills had been shot by none other than the unassuming girl. Silly boy. Yuuko and Himiwari eventually moved the web page and changed the name. Business went on being just as brisk as ever.

As the day moved into late afternoon they could see that Watanuki was tiring greatly, so the three teens left for home. Aya stopped long enough at the Kunogi's to change out of the Kimono and into some regular clothes, she then went to the Doumeki family temple to return the Kimono and have dinner with Karumi-san as she had promised earlier.

The following day they all, except Watanuki returned to school. They stopped and visited him each night, Himiwari bringing him his homework, Aya making sure no one was starving to death and making more than enough to last thru the next day until they came back. Maru and Moro flitting about from one room to another as usual, chanting in unison.

Doumeki drank sake with Yuuko and Mokona, (who had returned from piffle and thanks to Watanuki still being bed bound had survived said return) ate the snacks and dinner Aya made, all the while watching the recovery of the Seer and the Mage who had healed him. And whenever he got the chance and thought no one was looking, he stole kisses from them both.

There were no customers to the shop during this time and those peaceful evenings they spent all together sipping tea or drinking Sake while Watanuki recovered were good ones.

Hitsuzen was quiet for the moment.
