"… Watanuki, isn't it?" Kamui said.

"Ah, so you still remember me?" the boy with mismatched eyes stated.

"Yes," Kamui replied. "I saw you working in the shop of the Dimensional Witch through the link provided by the Mokonas. I did not expect you to become her heir."

"Neither did I." Remembering his former employer and friend, Watanuki sighed. "It's only temporarily, though," he continued, "I'm still waiting for Yuuko to return to this shop."

"She will not return," Kamui pointed out, "she is dead."

"She is, yes," Watanuki acknowledged. "However, the past, present and future are blurring at this very moment. I believe I will meet her once more." There was a slight glimmer of hope in his eyes as he spoke, one that had not been present in his dull gaze before.

Kamui did not like where the other boy's train of thoughts were going. "You wish to meet her, despite the consequences? You were talking about the penalty of messing with nature's laws before… you know what will happen to reality if you try to bend it."

"Reality is already bend," Watanuki argued. "And besides… some things are inevitable."

'What do you mean?" Kamui demanded.

"For Yuuko and I to have met, even though she was supposed to be dead before my birth… Yuuko told me that a powerful wizard unknowingly stopped her time because he desired for her to live on. I did not understand it when she first told me, but I understand it now; I was that wizard - the great Clow Reed, who stopped time itself to prevent Yuuko from disappearing."

Kamui narrowed his eyes sceptically at this explanation. "So… it was predetermined?" he asked.

"Yes," Watanuki confirmed. "If the past does not happen, the future will not come. That's why everything is predetermined… that's why all is inevitable."

"But you said that the wizard unknowingly stopped time; yet, you know what will happen."

"Ah yes," Watanuki said. "I don't know how to justify this… I can only blame the time paradox for this to happen. They also have this same experience. Knowing what was to happen, yet they shouldn't have known…"

"They?" Kamui reiterated.

"Yes, 'they'. I will send you to them now, as you requested in your wish."

"But I have not even voiced my wish yet!" Kamui protested.

"You wish to seek your brother, not?" Watanuki cut in. "This can only be possible, if you have the ability to travel through dimensions. You must therefore join those who went before you."

"B-but… Who? What? A-and my price?" Kamui felt as though his head were spinning. Everything was happening in such a rush!

"You will meet your companions and know who they are. As for you price… it has been received already."

Kamui looked dumbfounded. "Who… paid?"

"He will tell you, if he wishes to do so," Watanuki answered cryptically.

It seemed to Kamui that Watanuki had taken on more of Yuuko's habits than was necessary. He wore her clothes, smoked her pipe, and even gave his customers those obscure messages like her. The boy must be missing the former Dimensional Witch very much…

Probably just as much as I miss Subaru, Kamui mused.

"I will send you off now," Watanuki said.

A magical circle formed around Kamui and then he disappeared… off to another dimension.

"Good luck, Kamui…" Watanuki whispered. "May you uncover the answers to all your inner questions."

A tall young man came up behind him. "Oi," the man said, "Get back inside, or you'll catch a cold."

Watanuki smirked. "To an unborn chick, the walls of the egg are like walls signifying the outer limit of the entire world. Are we that chick trapped inside your egg, Doumeki? And if we are, will you ever decide to release us?"

The man rolled his eyes. "Hn…" he murmured, and then, "I want to eat umeboshi tonight."
