I'm tired, bored and it probably isn't a good idea to be writing this 'cause I'm cranky, but well I need the stress relief. –D.C.

Thanks for the reviews, story & author favourites & alerts. ( ^x^ )

Abel and Hugue shared a glance before Abel ushered Hugue to go first.

"My wish is to locate my sister" Hugue said fidgeting in his seat infinitesimally.

"Ah, a simplistic wish" Watanuki smiled calmly opening his hand to show a small men's ring inscribed with a symbol of an arrow "and with a rather interesting way to grant it, this ring was once owned by the grandson of a Shinto priest, when worn it summons a weapon of sorts, the shape of which is different depending on the person, the weapon will allow them to shoot evil or negative spirits and entities even if they cannot see them, this in its own way will point you in the direction of your sister" Watanuki paused to sip his tea before continuing "the price for this wish is equally simple, discover who the descendent of the man who owned this is, his name was Domeki Shizuka, he lived about a thousand years ago, he is the other person in the third portrait in the hall" Watanuki finished giving Hugue an imploring look, as Hugue was taken aback by the off-handed way Watanuki stated how long-ago the man had lived.

"And you Abel?" Watanuki asked with a knowing smile.

Abel nodded gathering his thoughts; what did he want, what was his greatest wish? Defeating the Rosen Kreuz Order? Or was it something else...

"I wish that... for once that my remaining family and those I think of as my family could... all of us be happy together... with no one fighting or apposed in anyway" Abel said slowly,

Watanuki sat back in his chair, "Ah... now that is a bit tricky... not impossible, but not something I can accomplish from here or for that matter in a small amount of time..." Watanuki seemed to drift of in his head for while as he thought of ways to grant that wish or the implications that would resound from it.

Suddenly he smiled, a cunning, scheming, slighting deranged, but very knowing sort of smile, the sort that is far too old and worldly for a face seemingly of the round-about age of nineteen, in a way that freaked Abel and Hugue out more than the theoretical knowledge based on the sightings of him... or what Watanuki had alluded to.

"This wish, it is difficult; because you cannot change someone, they have to change themselves, but I can... motivate if you will the chance and probability of them changing, but only within the guide-lines placed down by hitsuzen..." Watanuki frowned "you two may have to spend the night as my guests, while I work out some logistics... is that okay?"

Hugue and Abel nodded "Good, Maru! Moro! Come in please!" Watanuki called,

"Hai! Watanuki!" the two girls sung as they burst in,

"Prepare the guest room with two futons" the girls nodded and promptly ran off again,

"It's been a very long time since I've had guests, would you like some sake?" Watanuki chirped happily.

Urh? It's been awhile I know but... this unfortunately all I have so far. Sorry !^. –D.C.
