Yuko was walking to school the next day, but decided to see the handsome young man again.
She stepped onto the path way and walked towards the door. She opened it slowly.
"Hello, is Watanuki here?"
Watanuki frowned and came walking towards Yuko. His kimono showed his firm bare chest. Yuko blushed.
"Hello, is your name Watanuki?"
"Yes, it is." Watanuki said stiffly.
"I see."
"Well, do you have a wish?"
"Not exactly, but…I want to know who I am. Do you know who I am?"
"Yes."
"Then tell me."
"Is that your wish?"
Yuko hesitated before nodding.
"Yes, but there is also something else: I had a flash back yesterday. It included you and me."
"There is a price."
"I'm willing to pay anything."
"Then, you must stay in this shop…forever as my assistant."
"What?"
"You heard me."
"I can't! What about my mother?"
"She'll be able to cope."
"She won't!"
"Yes she will."
Yuko bit her lip then nodded.
"I will agree to your terms."
Watanuki turned and shouted, "Maru, Moro, show Miss Yuko to her room please."
The twins came skipping around the corner and stopped dead when they saw Yuko.
"Mistress." They whispered in unison. They ran towards her and hugged her hard. "We've missed you, Mistress."
"I'm not your mistress!" Yuko said while nervously backing away.
"Girls, please be gentler with our guest." The girls nodded and pulled Yuko by the hand to her room.
It was the room Watanuki used to sleep in when he worked for her but she didn't know that.
Yuko only stared at the room. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but it was somehow familiar.
"What about my clothes?"
"You will everything you need here."
Yuko said nothing. Before she knew it she had a bandana and an apron thrust at her.
"What the hell!" Yuko exclaimed.
"I told you. You're our new assistant." Watanuki said, "Anyway, get in the kitchen and help me make dinner."
Yuko was speechless.
A/N Hey people! I have had a bit of writers block until now but here it is! I just got the idea one day to do this story. I wondered if Yuko had been reincarnated or something like that. So I suppose Yuko will ooc in some ways, as it isn't the Yuko we know because she will have been brought up differently. She could act like the old Watanuki at times too. I just don't know. I'm making it up as I go along.
