Watching the Sky

Chapter 4

Clouds (Part 2)

Disclaimer – I don't own Japanese things that either: make me large amounts of money, give me tons of grey hairs, or both.

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 – Okay, well I have nothing really to say today. Maybe later on the bottom of the chapter then. I'll think of something by then. Meow….

Shout Outs!

TheRedANBU – Thanks for reviewing and now publicly announcing (in my eyes) that you like Yuuwaku! Mwa ha ha! Maybe this advertisement is working….

Joxter-The-Mighty – You're first fic is a Yuuwaku fic, and for that you are in high respects with me. And about that pointless drama and romance, isn't that what a big part of fanfiction is about:P

Kiki Momitichi – I'm glad it makes you happy Kiki. (Although I feel like I have writer's block coming up, so try not to get too excited.) And I'm worried about GreenFairyHime too…. T.T But she said she's better!

Encyser – Yes…. I am so sorry that the chapters are short, but I try my best. They only come out how I think they come out, and they normaly come up shorter than I expect. BUT, I'm having a lot of inspiration for this, so I don't think I'll have any gaps in the update times. Always on Fridays!

GreenFairyHime – Yay! I am glad you are okay, and pity your large amounts of study time. Blah, and that quote was highly inspired by some people I know. (Although I cringe, and turn red whenever I think about it.)

Himawari had been taking a walk though the crowded markets, when she heard a familiar voice. "WATANUKI-CHAN! YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS!"

Watanuki? Tipping her head, she decided to walk over to the scene. Maneuvering through the people on the streets, she caught sight of a tall and elegant woman in a sun dress. She and the guy next to her were looking at a vendor with wind chimes.

Sneaking up to the strange looking couple, Himawari caught a glimpse of their faces. The tall woman was Yuuko, and the guy next to her was Watanuki. I wonder what they are doing here? Himawari asked curiously.

"It's the cutest little thing…." Yuuko said, looking at one wind chime in particular. "Oh, look over there!" But something else caught her eye, and she walked to another vendor.

Himawari couldn't help but stare at Yuuko in amazement. It took her a minute to notice that Watanuki did not follow her. He was paying the old man at the vendor for the small, wind chime Yuuko wanted. As that was paid for, he rushed over to Yuuko with Himawari following him.

Still behind him, Himawari watched as Watanuki caught up to Yuuko and gave her the wind chime.

"Yuuko-san?" Watanuki had said, a little out of breath. Himawari could only see his back.

"Yes Watanuki-chan?" Yuuko said cheerfully to him.

"I know you really, really, really, like this, so I got it for you. I'm was hoping that we can spend some time outside the markets here, so this is for you until we come back again."Watanuki said. That's so sweet of him. Himawari thought.

"You shouldn't have…." Yuuko said, holding onto the precious item.

"Let's just get out of here." Watanuki said.

"You're so good to me!" Yuuko said , and they left the market together. Yuuko holding onto Watanuki's arm.

Himawari followed them out of the markets, making sure they didn't see her. They stopped in front of the grocery. "Yuuko-san, why don't you to the shops next door, while I go shop for food." Watanuki said, and they parted ways.

I'll go congratulate him. They look good together. Himawari walked up to Watanuki. "Watanuki-kun, is that you?" She said acting like she knew of nothing that happened.

"Huh?" Watanuki turned around in surprise. "Himawari-chan!"

"What are you, doing here?" Watanuki sputtered out. The clouds were right; he should have killed himself the first chance he had gotten.

"I was shopping here too." Himawari said sweetly.

Realizing who he was talking to, Watanuki activated his special feature. "Himawari-chaaaaan I'm sorry, I was just so surprised to see you here! How are you?" Small hearts and rainbows started to float around his dreamy face.

"It's okay, I don't mind. Why don't we shop together for a little bit?" Himawari started to walk into the grocery market.

"Okay!" Watanuki agreed with another smile. Shopping with Himawari-chan! This is great, too great! He thought, while picking a basket.

As they stood side-by-side, they chatted a little bit. Just small talk, and Watanuki was so happy until, "By the way, I wanted to congratulate you!" Himawari said.

"What do you mean by that Himawari-chan?" Watanuki asked politely. He couldn't remember anything that could have made her say that.

"Why, with being with Yuuko-san!" Watanuki's time stopped. Yuuko-san….and….me! HUH!

"You're mistaken Himawari-chan! Yuuko-san is just my boss, nothing more! We were just out shopping together, I mean, she just wanted to come along, wait…." Watanuki stumbled over his words, realizing he was not helping the situation.

"I know you're shy Watanuki-kun." She giggled. "But don't worry, I think you two look good together." Smiling, Himawari shook his hand and went to pay for her grocery items.

Watanuki just stood there, not knowing what to do. Yuuko-san and I! TOGETHER!

"Watanuki-chan?" Yuuko had just come back from the various shops in the area. Satisfied that she had taken long enough, she went to go look for Watanuki. Not finding him anywhere, Yuuko went into the grocery market. And there he was, standing by the refrigerated meat section, still as a statue.

Poke. "Watanuki-chan?" Yuuko said, poking Watanuki every few seconds.

"Huh?" Watanuki had finally woken up.

"Let's go back shall we?" Yuuko said.

"Ngh." Apparently, he was still not fully awake.

Yuuko looked at Watanuki with a playful smile. "This is getting better and better."

"What's wrong with me…?" Watanuki said, smothering his face in his cushion. "No wait, what's wrong with the world? Everyone thinks that Yuuko-san and I are together." Of course, he was over exaggerating. The only person that said that they looked good together was Himawari. But, that one person was the world, to him.

"Stupid shopping, stupid Yuuko-san…." He mumbled, trying to vent some of his anger. There was no way to repair the damage; Watanuki would never get a chance with Himawari.

Trying to shift onto his side, he flinched in pain. Holding his elbow, he sat up on the coach. "Ugh, did Yuuko-san have to hold my arm for so long? I can barely feel anything, except pain. Not only that, my whole arm is sweaty now from her holding it."

"I'll just have to explain the whole thing to Himawari-chan at school tomorrow. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." Thinking up his resolution, he went off to his room to sleep.

"Um, Himawari-chan? Do you think I could speak to you, alone for a minute?" Watanuki asked the girl during the lunch break.

"What is it about, Watanuki-kun?" Himawari replied.

"I would rather talk about it alone." He said weakly.

Himawari looked at Doumeki, who was next to them. "I don't see why Doumeki-kun can't listen."

"It's a bit, personal…." He trailed off, not knowing how to put it.

Himawari smiled. "I know what it is, you don't have to worry. I'll keep a secret." She winked, thinking about the same thing Watanuki was, for all the wrong reasons.

"Actually…" Watanuki stuttered, knowing that the conversation was going the wrong way.

But she was already gone. Off to her next class, as the lunch bell had already rang. She called out to him, "You can count on me."

Watanuki sighed. "That didn't go how I wanted it to go."

"Talking to yourself is one of the many signs of insanity."

It was Doumeki. "OH SHUT UP! HOW CAN YOU UNDERSTAND MY PAIN! Himawari-chan….." He screamed at Doumeki, millions of thoughts swirling in his mind. Oh, Himawari-chan. Now we can never do the things that couples can do, walking through parks, sharing ice cream, holding hands…. Watanuki was practically crying. Wait, holding hands? His mind flashed back to when Himawari had shaken his hand.

WOW! HIMAWARI-CHAN HELD MY HAND! IT FEELS, IT FEELS…. Watanuki smiled, IT FEELS, like….. His smile faded. I… I don't feel anything. When Himawari had shaken his hand, he didn't feel anything. No spark, no heat, nothing at all. It's probably just because no girl has ever held my hand before. Watanuki tried to reassure himself. I mean, the only was was Yuuko-san and she doesn't count. His mind stopped.

"…my whole arm is sweaty, from her holding it…."

That's probably just my imagination right? It was probably because she held onto to my arm for so long, right? But it wasn't very convincing. Watanuki had felt nothing when Himawari had held his hand, but was so sensitive to everything, when Yuuko held it.

Although he couldn't accept liking Yuuko, he did realize one thing. I don't love Himawari.

YES! The fourth chapter of Watching the Sky! I have finished it! (I have something to say now!) Yeah…… (Maybe I have nothing to say right now.) But yeah, I'm glad I'm getting to the chapters. Hopefully, I can finish this fic with no delays and update regularly. I've decided to do it every Friday, but maybe you guys have already noticed that.

Is this chappie good enough though….? A little bit more drama, but not too much. I'm not sure if you would call this fluff though. I have so much fun writing Watanuki. And now, he has finally realized that he does not like Himawari! GASP!

(You know what's coming next….)

I'm sure you know that the xxxHOLiC section is filled with Donut pairing, so why don't you support the Yuuwaku pairing, or some other pairing? Grandly support the pairing you ship! And spread the love of Yuuwaku!

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

(Oooo yeah, that is always fun to have.)

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

Plus a question to those who review: "Why do you review a person's fic?" This is mind-boggling to me. I have not figured out why this anomaly happens.
