Watching the Sky

Chapter 3

Clouds

Disclaimer – I don't own the anime, manga, and other references I use in this fic.

Summary – With time, Watanuki became use to his new job. But soon, a spell of monotony falls over his life, the only thing changing is the time around him. That is, in the spring of his life, there is a new occurrence to look into.

Pairing – Yuuwaku (Yuuko/Watanuki)

Author's Ramblings – I finally wrote an outline for this story. I was practically out of inspiration after the first two chapters. That would have been very, very very, bad. Then I would have to incomplete fics that were not being updated. We don't need another idiotic kiseki gurl. (Comment by kiseki gurl, herself.) Plus this fic is going to be shorter than the To Capture Emotion fic, so it will be finished faster. I'll be happy for it will be my first, complete, multi chappie fic I've ever wrote. No wonder people write one-shots, they are so much easier to write.

Shout Outs -

GreenFairyHime – Poor GreenFairyHime, I hope you feel better by the time I post up this next chapter. And thank you for reviewing again.

Encyser – Thank you for reading! (And coming to the land of xxxHOLiC where most of the fics are yaoi….) You are a brave person for coming to these parts of Be proud, and enjoy the fic!

NoshMono – Thank you for reviewing, and for both my chapter although you just started reading it…. I'm bad with words, forgive me. And I am a (semi) proud shipper of Yuuwaku, although I do prefer my Fai/Yuuko pairing better. About those dividers, I like them big, so the story before the divider does not disturb me when I write it. Sorry, I can't change that.

Silver windflame – Yah, not that I hate donuts, it's just that they are the main pairing in the fanfiction section, so I can't help but rebel against it.

Kiki Momitichi – Er, don't worry about it. I am just glad you read my fic, that's all.

I can't take much of this anymore…. Watanuki left the thought unfinished, afraid of what he was going to think next. When he had awoken, it turned out he had slept through Sunday, waking up in the night of Monday. The rest of the day happened like it would, if this had happened before.

"Mmph….." The second Watanuki woke up, his mouth was filled with wet cloth and fuzz. Somehow he had been chewing on his blanket and pillow. This was not a pleasant way to wake up. Flipping onto his back, he scratched at his head and slowly lifted himself up. Where am I? Oh yeah, Yuuko-san's shop…. Without freaking out, he figured out his current location. Watanuki pushed the blanket off his body, to rub down his body. No matter how tired a person could be, sleeping in a bed other than your own was uncomfortable. With that said in his head, he gave his body a slow rub down, to get the kinks out of his body.

"Trying to entertain me? I hired you as an assistant Watanuki. You really go ahead and beyond from what I expect."…. And of course, at his still shirtless-ness, Yuuko was in the room. "YU-YUUKO-SAN!" Watanuki's eyes widened. He jumped in surprise, promptly banging his head on the bed post. "Holy shit…." He muttered.

Realizing he still had a "watcher" in the room, he hopped out of bed. "Why are you here, Yuuko-san?" He asked, shoving his head into his white shirt.

Yuuko just stayed at the doorway, watching Watanuki with an amused expression. "I was just checking up on you and just in time. I didn't miss the show."

"Not funny." He grumbled, now fully clothed.

"I have the right to be in this room. It is my shop, not to mention you have been sleeping for more than a day." Yuuko gestured to the dark night.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Watanuki couldn't see how sleeping for the early morning, into the night was a day.

"It's Sunday."

"REALLY!"

She nodded in response.

"And Yuuko-san has been taking care of me this whole time? Thanks…." Watanuki thanked her awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Think nothing of it but take this." Yuuko handed him something.

"What is this?" It was a rather heavy, large, and unorganized stack of papers.

"The things you missed, today is Monday. You missed school." Yuuko walked out of the room, Watanuki following her.

"Oh."

"On top is your priority lis, and the things you have to do while you were sleeping." Yuuko said.

"Okay…." He shifted the papers in his hand to look at the first paper.

TO DO LIST

1.Get a week's worth of sake for the shop.

2.Prepare a week's worth of snacks for Maru, Moru, Mokona, and me. all meals for the people listed above for a week.

4.Sweep the front of the shop.

5.Clean the shop form top to bottom.

6.Make sure you make food for Doumeki for a week.

7.Do all other trivial things.

"…. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!" All the paper's dropped out of Watanuki's hands.

"You're forgetting nothing of mine comes for free Watanuki. My service for your well-being is to be paid in your hard work. And Doumeki was the one to get your homework and such from school." Yuuko looked back to smirk at Watanuki.

"You have to be kidding me…. And look at this, you put to get sake at the beginning. Then number 7! I have to finish all my homework and like hell I'll make food for Doumeki…." Watanuki groaned and complained but he knew he had to do everything on the list. It was not like he had a choice.

Yuuko looked satisfied. "That's a good boy."

Watanuki couldn't forget all the work he had to do. And now he couldn't forget what he had to live through now.

"Let's go Watanuki!" I think I'll kill myself now….

"Oh HOW cute! Watanuki-chan, look at this!" Yuuko exclaimed for the thousandth time that day.

Watanuki was really getting tired of her behavior. Maybe this is God's way of telling me to kill myself; to not pursue my goal of being normal and to just to live my life in misery like I've always have been. He watched the white clouds pass by, wondering if they were trying to tell him a divine message from the heavens. That one looks like a stick, maybe it's suppose to represent a sword that I should plunge into my chest….

"WATANUKI-CHAN! YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS!" Yuuko called out RATHER loudly to him. Only about two-thirds of the people there looked at them.

His eye twitched once more. "I'm coming," he gritted between his teeth. This was the hundredth time he did this to shut her up.

"See this wind chime? Isn't it the cutest thing ever?!" Yuuko grabbed his wrist to look at the little chime. It had a small, red, goldfish on the top.

"Yes. Lovely." He said monotonously. For some reason, Yuuko wanted to come along with him to shop for food. They had taken the long way through the markets by Yuuko's nagging. And now here he was, being pulled and pushed along to look at everything that caught her eye.

"It's the cutest little thing…." Yuuko sighed wistfully playing the part of a school girl perfectly, despite her obvious age.

The old man selling the trinkets just chuckled at the two, and winked at Watanuki. It was obvious what he was trying to say.

"Oh, look over there!" Yuuko rushed to another vendor.

Soon as she was gone, Watanuki asked the man "How much?"

"600 yen." He said in between laughs.

"Thank you." Watanuki muttered and quickly caught up to Yuuko.

"Yuuko-san?" Watanuki had finally caught up to her, following the loud "kya-ing" in the distance.

"Yes Watanuki-chan?" Yuuko said with a cute smile on her face.

Watanuki took a large breath, in preparation for what he was going to say. "I knew you really, really, really, like this, so I got it for you. I'm hoping that we can spend some time outside the markets here so this is for you until we come back again." He controlled his eye twitching to a minimum, while giving her the small wind chime from the last vendor.

Yuuko clutched the small thing to her chest, and with a dramatic sigh, said "You shouldn't have…."

"Let's just get out of here." Watanuki started to walk towards the end of the markets, to the grocery.

"You're so good to me!" Yuuko clutched onto his arm.

Watanuki wished she looked like a school girl now. It would have helped him deal with what was happening. The fact that his arm was being pressed into her chest was one thing, but he was really being affected by the scene this must have been: A couple comprised of a male high school student, and maybe 20-30 year old women hugging his arm. Watanuki hoped that no one that recognized him was in the crowd.

"Oh my god… isn't that illegal?"

"Kids these days….."

"…damn, lucky, asshole."

"How did he land that?"

"She must have had put some major stuff in her bra…."

That cloud looks punishing enough, I think I'll go kill myself next chance I get.

"Yuuko-san, why don't you to the shops next door, while I go shop for food." Watanuki sighed.

"Okay." Yuuko agreed, and let him go into the grocery mart.

Sighing, he went inside. His thoughts during the walk were ones trying to block out the conversations around him and thoughts of how the police were definitely going to come and get them. No such luck in either.

"Watanuki-kun, is that you?"

"Huh?" Watanuki turned around and just as luck would have it, Himawari saw the whole thing.

The third of installment! I finished it! And I hope it makes sense. I looked over it, and it kinda looked weird. Specially the commas, I know I tend to sprinkle them around in my fics. Sorry about that. And does anything in this chapter count as fluff? I have't really written fluff before, so this is a strange style for me to write. I tend to like angst/romance. Nothing can be all happy and fluffy in a love love relationship.That's what I think. However, kiseki gurl begs to differ with her favorite pairing Kazuki x Tokiko from Busou Renkin. (Another comment by kiseki gurl, who happens to edit my fics).

(It's that time again….)

But do you enjoy Yuuwaku? I sure hope you do, if you're reading this fic. But what if you openly support donut, but not Yuuwaku for fear of flamers? Don't! Show your support for Yuuwaku! Spread the love!

If you want to read more Yuuwaku, go to my account, Green Fairy Hime, or kiseki gurl, and many others. Plus there is a new C2 Histuzen, that has Yuuwaku fics!

(I think I'm getting better at this.)

REVIEW PLEASE! (Or at least read/support Yuuwaku.)
