A/N: Yes here is more of me storio! I know you're all so happy and when I say `all' I mean the like 5 of you who actually read me stories. Yes rather pathetic I know. But to you 5 who are the readers I say this to say this: I do not own xxxHolic it belongs to CLAMP and I so hate them for it! (No! I'm of the joking sort don't hate me CLAMP!) If I did Watanuki would be in drag ALL of the time whilst Dômeki dressed as a bunny and his hair would be 12 shades of blue. Why? Because if I owned xxxHolic I could do that, schmokay? So I shall end my ranting with this: I am in my school's library during lunch. Yes I am ditching my friends (and food!) for you and this story so enjoy!I also do not own the Matrix or Naruto...or Sana's lovely hammer. OH OH OH yea um did you know that the fourtne teller there going to see is the same one from book 2? Yes well they never said her name so I have taken it upon meself to name her! Okay it just makes easier for writing; well her name is Madame Hitsu....I don't know where it came from..well I do it came from Bleach you know Hitsugaya Taichou? Yes him okay I'm done!
"Yûko-san! I'm here!" Watanuki rushed into the 'shop.'
"I can see that, or rather hear. Why are you stomping in here and yelling like that Watanuki-kun?"
He kind of looked shocked he had'nt even realized that he was stomping or yelling. Altough it all came too clear when he realized the mess he had made from stomping.
"No matter, today Watanuki we have an outing to go on."
"Really, where?" He didnt really like outings they usually ended in him carrying home 8 different kinds of liquor, some stuff for Yûko's shop, and a burden on his shoulders from some dark prediction of his future.
"We are going to see an old friend of mine, you know the fortune teller you saw last time?"
Watanuki immediately began to stomp again and started yelling about how that lady had jinxed him and how he didnt think she was real fortune teller at all.
"Thats lady is a crock! It was just bad karma that made me spend more time with Dômeki! Oh what have I done to deserve this?!" Yûko just smiled he was so entertaining like this, she almost felt bad for what was about to happen to him.
***Dômeki's point of view***
I wonder where Watanuki is, he usually passes by at this time of day and I really needed help cleaning up out here. I really hate cleaning and yard work but he seems to enjoy it.
"DÔMEKI-KUN!" Huh? That sounded like Yûko-san. Oh it is and Watanukis' with her.
"Hello Yûko-san." I wonder what she wants she dosnt usually come to see me unless Watanukis' in trouble.
"Hello Dômeki-kun, it's nice to see you." Yes she definitely wants something I can see it in her eyes.
"Well it's always a pleasure to see you but I have a feeling it's not just to visit."
"Perceptive as ever I see well lets cut to the chase shall we?" I can see this involves me going somewhere with Watanuki. Maybe it's the way he's standing like that and looking away. Although it could be because theres a big cloud over his head and it's raining on him.
I decided to led them inside to talk since it was getting kind of cold out.
"So what's this all about?" I handed them some green tea. Watanukis face was so cute when I gave him his tea. Staring at it like I gave him death in a cup, sipping it like he thought it would blow up in his face.
"Well I need you come to with us to a fortune teller today," There was something more to this I could to tell.
"And?"
"Hahah well you will find out if you come. But I will tell you a few details myself if you come with know that what happens can not be reversed. You will have an extremely hard choice to make today. If you do not wish to come you don't have to. But I do think it would be better for Watanuki-kun if you came." Uh oh she should not have said....
"IT MOST CERTAINLY WOULD NOT!!! I don't need that big jerk around! He only gets in my way anyway it's not like he helps or anything! He's just a waste of space, mind you he takes up alot of it. With that massive body of his! Oh why does he have to be so tall? I the great Watanuki-sama should have been blessed with such height!"I see he's going all out today tears and all.
"Watanuki- you will see when we get there just why I am asking Dômeki-kun to come with us. Now if you would please refrain from anymore babbling about then we could head to the shop."
It seems Yûko-san has some power over Watanuki. He looks like an atomic bomb just waiting to explode with a comeback. I wonder what makes him obey her so willingly? I would just love to know.
(Authors POV)
Watanuki was silent on the walk to the fortune teller. He was lost in his thoughts while Yûko, Mokona and Dômeki all chatted about nothing. Dômeki however, true to nature; was not showing any interest in the conversation. He was mainly focusing on why Watanuki was so quiet. The look on his face sent chills up his spine.
“Here we are.” The two boys had been so lost in thought they had forgotten why they were even walking in the first place. They entered the shop silently behind Yûko; with Dômeki looking around he had never been there and he liked to know what was around him. Watanuki still looked like the black plagued had hit only now he was growing a bit fussy. He had just now realized that they were there for him and it had something to do with Dômeki.
Maybe she will tell me I will never have to see his big ugly face again! And he will make his own Bento!
A smile graced his lips as he thought more of these inspiring thoughts.
There was a lot of odd and ends in the shop, they ranged from the perfectly ordinary to things you should have seen in a museum. Dômeki didnt think much of anything there; until a small black box on a table in a corner caught his eye. It looked like a miniature version of a bento box, but it had a cover. Now this wouldn't have held his attention if it hadn't been for the small Kanji written in red on the lid. He made no move to go read it he, he could see what the lid said perfectly fine. Dômeki suddenly wished he hadnt come.
"Konnichiha Yûko-san. I've been expecting you." The old woman from before was sitting at a small table shuffling some cards.
"Ah Madame Hitsu, dochirahe? May I presume you know why we're here?"
"Yes, come sit," She stood up and motioned them towards the table, "Would you like some tea?"
"If you're such a great psychic shouldn't you know the answer to that?" Watanuki mumbled not intending it to be heard, but the old woman had. She turned and smiled at him.
"Well if you must know; yes you really want tea but don't want to say anything," Watanuki opened his mouth to protest, but she held her hand up to stop him. "Now you're going to me 'No you're wrong I just had tea at Dômeki-kun's and I'm not thirsty' but yes you are."She began to sit down and shuffle her cards again. "You didn't drink much of the tea Dômeki-kun gave you because you didn't want him to know you actually enjoyed it." Watanuki immediately blushed at the truth and cast a glance at Dômeki who was smirking triumphantly, Yûko was silently giggling while Mokona was laughing freely.
"Well now that I have proved myself to be an accurate 'psychic or whatever' lets move on or do you wish to further embarrass yourself?" Watanuki shook his head furiously, blush still tinting his cheeks and sat down.
"Now then, neither of you have a clue why you are here, but before I begin you need to make one little decision. Once I tell you where you destiny is headed you cannot reverse it just as you cannot change the past. You will either have to do something about it or live with the unpleasant facts of the truth." Madame Hitsu pulled out a little tin, which contained two red pills and two blue pills. " Now you can either *pointing at blue pill* walk out of this door, pretend this never happened and go on with you miserable lives or *pointing at red* you can listen and do something about it and maybe change the world just a little. So will you choose the red pill or the blue?"
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK THIS IS, THE MATRIX?!" Watanuki pulled out a plastic hammer and hit Madame Hitsu over the head with it. "And let me guess tomorrow I will wake up with a big hole in my neck underground in a ship somewhere! Oh yes give me the red pill BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE DYING TODAY!" Watanuki hit her again with the hammer, determined to 'knock' some sense into the old bat."Who the hell do you think you are Morpheus?!"
"Well he is my hero!" Madame Hitsu spoke towards the wall with a spark in her eye and tears of admiration running down her cheeks." Well now that you've ruined my fantasy for the day, which will you choose?" Watanuki looked skeptical still not trusting her.
"Oh mighty oracle you know the answer" He spat.
"You're right, I do but you need to say it." Madame Hitsu looked serious once more.
" I want to hear it." Everyone looked at Dômeki who had just spoke for the first time since entering the shop.
"Very well, and you Watanuki-kun? Do you wish to hear your destiny?"Madame Hitsu had suddenly gained a set of of bright gray piercing eyes.
Watanuki looked around the room, he already knew the answer. He just was reluctant to say it.
"I want to hear it."
