Sake, Anyone?

 

"Ma'am, would you like more sake?" a waiter asked the beautiful woman in the booth.

 

"Hell no!! Bring on the beer!!" she answered, a healthy flush gracing her already perfect features.

 

"I.... um, right away, ma'am," the man scurried away in a hurry, realizing that she had already had quite a bit to drink.

 

"Watanuki, don't you want some?" she asked one of her companions.

 

"I'm underage!! I can't drink that!! Besides, I have a low alcohol tolerance," he admitted bashfully.

 

"Really? That's too bad.... But who cares?! The beer's here!!" she shouted happily.

 

"Here you go ma'am," it was a different waiter this time.

 

"Thanks! A refill perhaps, Makona?" she asked the furry little animal at her side who nodded in response.

 

"Yuko! Don't you think you've had enough?! I don't wanna have to drag your drunk ass back to the shop!!" Watanuki yelled angrily.

 

"Relax! A little beer never bothered anyone, did it?" she asked.

 

"It could-!" he started.

 

"Settle down, okay? We'll go back if it makes you feel better. Don't we still have some of that eki-kyabe left?" Yuko interrupted his statement.

 

"How can we have any left when you're always drunk?!" he contridicted.

 

"Well then, I guess we'll have to pick some up on our way home, won't we?" she flashed him a smile as she stood, "But I'm afraid I spent all the money I had on me for dinner, do you think you could cover me?"

 

"I knew it," he sighed, also standing up.

 

They made their way down the street to the little drug store that was nice enough to replenish their stock of eki-kyabe whenever they happened to run out.

 

"Back again, Watanuki-kun?" the young man behind the counter asked.

 

"You know it, Kei-kun," he answered with a small smile.

 

"Eki-kyabe, I presume?" Rikuo, the other young man helping, asked.

 

"As always."

 

'The kimono hem....' Watanuki noticed again. It had been on his very first visit to the store that he'd seen both the kimono hem and what appeared to be a woman..... They walked out of the store, the hangover medicine tucked safely in the bag.

 

"Yuko, there's something I've wanted to ask you about for a while now," Watanuki broke the silence.

 

"What did you see?"

 

"Kei and Rikuo.... it's faint, but it looks like a spirit is following and our binding them..... to one another that is," he explained.

 

"So you noticed. I thought you might.... those two, yes, they are indeed bound to one another... but not through words like the twins. True, they do have a connection to one another, just like they did, but they are bound through different means than you might think," she smirked.

 

"Wait! What do you mean?"

 

"They are tied to each other through the strings of death."

 

"So they're dead?!"

 

"No, I never said that the death was their own," she chided lightly.

 

"Then what do you mean?" he asked, now thoroughly confused.

 

"The woman you saw. That is one of the simpliest explanations. That she was an important figure in both of their lives that continues to guide them, even in death," she told him, the small smile still playing at her lips.

 

"Then will.... will she ever disappear?"

"She'll pass on eventually. It's not possible for those who've died to continue to wander in the world of the living... unless of course the apocolypse is upon us, which it is not. It is more than likely that after her departure those to boys shall drift apart, away from one another."

 

"And how long would that take?"

 

"Full of questions, aren't you?" her smile became a little wider, "It's hard to say. It all depends on how long ago she died, her dedication to the two as well as quite a few other few factors," she responded.

 

"Then.... there's no definate way to know when it'll happen?"

 

"Correct. Now! Since we've got that eki-kyabe, let's go drink 'til we drop!!!" she said cheerfully.

 

"Dammit! Can't you be a little more serious about this?!"

 

"There's nothing that can be done about it, but that doesn't mean that we can't have fun!!" she pointed out.

 

"I.... I suppose that you're right," he reluctantly nodded in agreement.

 

"I'll drink to that!!! You, Makona?" she smiled and the little animal nodded enthusiastically.

 

"You'll drink to anything, Yuko," he shook his head, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

 

"Got that right," she winked before skipping off towards the shop where her beer was waiting fo her.
