FINDING SHUICHI
Chp: 1
WORLDS CAN BE PRETTY SMALL…
THE ONE YOU KNOW ONLY CONSIST
OF THAT WHICH SURROUNDS YOU…
AND THE WORLD…
WHEN IT IS VIEWED BY THOSE WHO KNOW,
IS FAR LARGER THAN
JUST ONE WORLD CAN HOLD…
Yuki Eiri walked past numerous people on the sidewalk of the busy streets of Tokyo. Many schoolgirls or just finished shopping for grocery housewives or unmarried woman blushed and swooned when the high profile novelist walked past them.
Eiri looked exhausted and he lost count on how many packs of cigarettes he inhaled with his rotten lungs since morning. His clothes consisted of navy blue shirt and black coat but to his fans they even said Eiri look better wearing anything or even better nothing. A wish they longed that’s impossible to be fulfilled.
Some of the website featuring the young novelist had said
`If you put Yuki-sama in a plastic trash and force him to walk in the busy streets, still many people would say he’s hot and sexy`
some would found it amusing, some would found it sick and some would found it just plain weird… there’s nothing wrong in loving a person but when you get obsessed, things might get out of control.
Their is a time when Eiri was busy doing one of his book signings, on that same day Shuichi came to him to give his blonde lover a surprise visit but since the famous J-pop singer didn’t wear any sunglasses or cap Eiri’s fans split into two:
1) One that changed their aim and ambushed the vocalist of Bad Luck with hugs and kisses and wanted autographs
while
2) The others accused him for taking their Eiri from them. And end up giving him some--- more than some pieces of their mind by violently attacked him.
Since then Eiri scowled his lover not to come in his book signing without a cover up. Eiri smiled a little of the memory but his mood quickly changed when he acknowledged his surroundings. Eiri didn\'t care how he looks, he didn\'t care the blushing giggling annoying girls, and he didn’t care about anything when his mind is annoyingly occupied by his annoying cute pink hair brat.
The young novelist seldom appear in public unless something is going on or something urgent happen but the people would only saw glimpse of him in his black Mercedes car but, him on the streets is one rare event. This is all because he had a major headache since morning and since staying in his quiet peaceful empty house doesn’t gave any good he put on something descent and walked out to get some fresh air.
Sure it’s noisy and annoying outside but surprisingly his headache didn’t worsen. Eiri walked towards no particular destination and he thanked the God for not being ambushed by fanatic girls or housewives but just some random girls came up to him and wanted his autographs.
Sure the blonde is in a state of very sex deprived and if anyone dared to raise his temper or just annoys him slightly he sure needs to think more than twice cause Yuki Eiri is in a very very bad mood. This blonde dude might beat the one who annoys him to a pulp or rather beat the hell out of him to almost death.
Suddenly Eiri’s mobile phone rang, he cursed anyone and slowly fish it out from his pocket and check whose calling… It’s Tohma. Just great… doesn’t that damn brother of his understand to leave him alone? He pressed the answer button and held it near his ear.
“ Eiri-san?! Eiri-san for the 6847683 times we tried to contact
you!! Thank Goodness but never mind that now tell me where are
you? Eiri-san? “
The blonde didn’t yell at the president of N-G production like he wanted to, he didn’t shout to his brother in law like he wished to, he didn’t curse every cursing word he knew to the white blonde man like he usually do, he just stood there… and softly mumble incoherent chains of words the president of N_G who didn’t concentrate enough to hear it
“ Eiri-san? You are still there right? please don’t torture yourself
anymore Eiri-san! You sister and I are worried sick over you!
It’s not your fault, everyone understands what happened--- “
Now that Seguchi hear clearly what the writer was saying, he almost went mute when he realized what the mumbling was
“ …the pretty blue sky that looks so blue and yet too far to reach… since before until now… why can’t I reach it? I who is five foot tall can’t find the answer to this question… “
“ Eiri-san? Eiri-san!! “ if Tohma were given a chance to be at the place where Eiri is, he would have shake the younger blonde to wake him back to reality or cradle him in his arms to bring some sense to the writer.
“…the pretty blue sky that looks so blue and yet too far to
reach… since before until now… ” Eiri continued his recite, didn’t bother to rise his voice since he knew Tohma heard him.
Finally Tohma pressed the red button to cancel his call from his favorite younger brother in law. He sighed like he just lost somebody precious and put his hands on his eyes as he lay back against his seat. His wife came closer to him and waited for his husband to answer her un-voice question.
“ Eiri-san didn’t said anything… he… he’s reciting the Haiku
‘aoi sora’ (blue sky)“
Mika gasped “Isn’t that the Haiku Eiri recite for our late mother during the mourning? I still remember how close Eiri to haha ue. The haiku by the way, it’s about…”
“ a sad Haiku written by Fujiwara. A scholar in the Meiji period… he refuse to believe the fact his fiancé left and vanish without a word… leaving him insane and he commit suicide… “
“ Tohma! Don’t tell me Eiri will… will… “ Mika panic then she was for the past week but a calm smile from his husband is enough to calm her down. They both knew Eiri won’t go that far… hopefully…
Tatsuha entered their room, looking pissed but yet concerned.
“ dame dame! Can’t find anything of what happen to Shuichi or what’s going on with aniki. Nakano won’t tell anything either, I doubt he know cause… he himself wasn’t sure…”
K and Ryuichi entered after Tatsuha. “care to explain what happen? Shuichi didn’t came to work for almost 2 weeks” he said in perfect American English.
“ all these started during the night of Eiri’s and Shindo’s wedding” Mika volunteer to answer as her husband and youngest brother look beat and exhausted “me and Tohma were coming out of our car to have a talk with Eiri but on that evening we saw pink light emitted from inside Eiri’s bedroom. By the time we reach their apartment we only saw Eiri on the floor looking lost and shock and Shindo never to be found… “
+=+=+
Eiri press the cancel button and continue his walk around Tokyo streets… still with no particular destination. “ Shu-chan… “ Eiri said in a soft voice only he could hear. Wiping off a tear that almost wet his cheek when he walk pass a huge solo poster of BAD LUCK’s famous vocalist to a music store. “my Shuichi…”
=+=+=
“ I tried investigating aniki’s apartment whenever he went out since he never lets me in when he’s home for the past 1 week but I can’t find any clue. I tried asking Shuichi’s relatives if they have the slightest idea of where he is, Shuichi’s family are in a vacation so minus them but I found none who could answer my question. “ Tatsuha add in.
“ So you people are saying that Shuichi just vanish just like that?
Didn’t bother to call the police or something? “ K scratch his chin
“ We tried nan no da “ Ryuichi spoke up “but Yuki-san went angry
and scowl Tohma that it’s useless. “
“ aniki called the police back that it’s just a practical joke but he
never care to explain to us what happen to Shuichi! Kuso… “ The
monk in training grit his teeth in annoyance.
“ maybe they have a fight again? So Yuki-san doesn’t want
anybody else to interfere in his and Shindo’s life? “
“ I had asked Eiri that but all he did was shaking his head.
‘Shuichi didn’t ran away’ ‘we didn’t have a fight` is all he said” Mika answered and sighed.
--
Eiri almost walk past a gate to a weird bungalow looking house with a garden. He legs didn’t listen to his commands and start working itself to walk past the gates and towards the house.
Surprising, even to his self, that the novelist didn’t shout random curses to his legs to stop walking into somebody’s house without asking when the front door opens by 2 girls.
“ Welcome to our humble home!” they greet the stunned novelist.
One girl wear an angel like white gown and bun head while the other girl wore a devil gown with two long ponytail. Their corneas looks empty but creepy smile stuck on their faces. “ Hitsuzen has brought another customer again. “ they said.
“MISTRESS WE HAVE A GUEST ~ ~ “ both the girls chant and giggle to each other. Grab an arm from Eiri and drag him inside even though finally he found his voice to protest and legs he could control again. The inside of the bungalow like house looks like any Japanese traditional house with tatami mats and sliding doors.
The girls stop dragging Eiri infront of this door and they slide open to reveal the owner of the house.
Yuko Ichihara (a name she call herself/an assumed name), from
XXX Holic, one of CLAMP’s recent manga. One the main character, long black hair, red eyes, tall and slim. The space time witch, the dimension witch, the lady witch, the far-east witch, she has a lot of names. The most selfish woman you ever met, a pushy salesperson, full of mystery, hates Clow Reeds whose maybe more better than her in magic and stuffs and we assuming she hates him, loves liquor, liquor, liquor and liquor and liquor, sake, liquor, liquor and liquor.
“ so… “ Yuko put down her pipe and position herself more comfortably on her long chair “you came here so that I could grant your wish? I can… with a price that is.“
Eiri almost went mute “wish?! The hell no!, I just happen to walk past your house and suddenly things happen and I’m here, forcefully! “
“ ah… that’s because hitsuzen is at work blondie “
“ hitsuzen?! “
“ don’t ask, she’ll just make you more hotter. Just buy the
Kodansha’s desk dictionary version 2. “
Eiri turned around and saw a school high school boy wearing an apron with 3 bottles of liquor enter the room.
“oh Watanuki-kun! I knew I sense beer coming near”
“ it’s Kirin beer “ Watanuki boredly add
“ The best!! “ and Yuki cheered
All the while Eiri kept silent and stood still as Yuko happily drank glass by glass the beer while her forced house cleaner cleans up after her dranked bottle of liquor. When Watanuki was about to leave the room, leaving the blonde man who unfortunately fell to Yuko-san’s “work” he notice the blonde look more then familiar.
“ Yu-Yu-Yuki Yuki Eiri-san!! You’re that famous romance/tragedy
novelist all the girls in my school worshp. “ I hope
Himawari-chan is not one of them Watanuki pray in his heart
“ oh?… it’s been a while since a celebrity drop in here and want their wish granted… “ Yuko glance at Eiri from her glass.
“ wait the hell second… can anybody kindly enough to explain why I’m dragged here by those two children--- “
“ those two children you meant is Maru “ Yuko point to the devil gowned girl whose sitting hear Yuko’s arm “ and Moro” she point to the angel gowned girl whose sitting near Yuko’s legs.
“oh by the way, “
Eiri notice the boy name Watanuki rub his temple and mutured “there she goes again”
Yuko continue “ their full names are `Maru-dashi’ and
`Moro-dashi’ kawai namae ne? ” Yuko grin
Eiri badly need to scream `what cute names?! It means go strip urself in public` but instead he said calmly “did you purposely name them that? “
“don’t you see how satisfied and happy these girls look like?” Yuko asked back and Eiri ignored the dancing chanting girls before Yuko.
“ I don’t buy it. “
“ suits yourself blondy ”
“ will you stop calling me that? “
“ ok, then b.l.o.n.d.y let’s get back to business. You came here to
my shop with a wish that I can grant… you can pay the price
after or before I grant your wish. “
“ granting people’s wish?! so you’re like a ginie in a bottle huh? “
“ you seriously don’t believe me don’t you? “
“ hell yeah “
“ tsk… tsk… it’s really a wonder how the cute naïve boy Shuichi
could fall and still put up for a somebody like you… pity pity… “
The minute the witch spoke the name of Eiri’s lover, the writer lost his cool and shout “ You know where Shuichi is?! “
“ is that the wish you want me to grant? “
“ I never asked for your help--- “
“ Your application have been received and can’t be cancelled” Yuko said simply as she gulp down another glass.
“ What the hell is this place?! “ Eiri felt like pulling his blonde hair from his head.
“ A store… “ Watanuki entered the room again “ a shop where
wishes can be granted… “
“ store? “ Eiri repeated.
“ wishes are granted “ Moro appear at Eiri’s right
“ if it’s possible for our customer “ Maru appear at Eiri’s left
“ our mistress will grant any wish “ they both said happily
“ and in exchange… a proper payment. “ Yuko put down the glass on the table “by that way balance is ensured.” She smiled
“ If you’re talking about money…“
“ Ah ah ah “ Yuko sealed Eiri’s lips with a finger, surprising the novelist when did he got close to the witch “I don’t want money”
Eiri raised his eyebrows. Sensing the novelist’s confusion, Watanuki answered him “ you can have your wish granted if you give something precious to Yuko-san”
And Eiri went more confused. “ some thing… valuable to me? “
“ Yes. That’s the system of my shop, the only payment involve is
something of great value from the customer… “
“ But I don’t have any fucking wish!! “
“ …………. `I wish I know where Shuichi is’ …… ‘ I wish I could have
my Shuichi back’ ……… ‘ I wish I could hold him again’… “ Yuko-san voice out and Eiri almost step back, speechless.
“ how… how did you… “
“ never mind that blondie. Anyway, what I said before were the
ones that you always thought, am I correct? “
Eiri didn’t say anything… finally he sighed and make up his mind to loose his pride a bit.
“ Yes… it’s true. It all happen last 2 weeks ago on the night of my
wedding with Shuichi. I saw this guy dress in all white enter our
room then pink and white light emits from the room. By the
time I reach there, I saw that man held my unconscious Shuichi
in his arms… smirking at me with triumph and disappear… since
then I never met Shuichi… “
“ You tried search for him but you knew deep in your heart you
felt Shuichi is not present in this world… right? “ Yuko puff her pipe. Shocking the writer and the blonde slowly nod.
There was silence for several moments in the room.
Watanuki was shocked and is in deep thoughts. Yuki-san and Shindo-san was about to get married? No wonder many of his girl classmates look down and un-genki when they talk about
Yuki-san. But the disappearance of Shindo-san sound too
fantasy-ish to be true. But he slap himself mentally when he remember what Yuko-san had told him “ you can see spirits, but to those who don’t have that ability will only think that your story would be fiction or delusion…” Yuki-san doesn’t seem to look like he’s making any joke and hell he look dead serious.
Yuko-san tapped her pipe to a table and inhale “ so… it’s wasn’t that bad to let it all out ne blondie? “
A vein pop on Eiri’s head.
“ and the guy in white…. “ Yuko think to herself
“ ever heard of Muraki Kazutaka? The physician? “
Seeing the blank look from the author is enough to answer her question. She asked again “ ever read or heard of The sinner Aion?” and Eiri shook his head. The witch make a `tsk` sound.
“ what a poor boy to fell in any of their clutches “ she said, referring the boy to Shuichi. “ well then, I could grant your wish but you must pay a reasonable price blondie. “
“ I don’t have anything precious “
“ oh really? Then, show me what’s in your pocket. “
“ the hell what? “
“ you hear me, the one you clutch dearly in your pocket” She said coolly, not moved at all my the writer’s death glare.
Eiri reluctantly take out his palm from his pocket that clutch the lighter where there’s a small picture of him and Shuichi 4 years ago… the blonde slowly and reluctantly gave the lighter to the witch.
“ ah… it aged almost five years and you still keep it even though
it’s long empty. No no no, this won’t do. “ and Yuko hand the lighter back to it’s owner.
“ but why Yuko-san? It’s Yuki-san’s most treasured item. “ Watanuki point out, almost shock that the witch didn’t receive the payment.
“ even though blondie treasure it for years, it’s not enough for a
payment to travel through different worlds to find a missing
pink hair boy. “ Yuko-san answered.
Eiri perked up “ travel… through.. worlds? Different worlds? “
“ why yes blondie” Yuko smile “ Worlds can be pretty small. The
one you know only consist of that which surrounds you… and the
world… when it is viewed by those who know, is far larger then
just one can hold.. “
Eiri took his time digesting what the lady before him just said.
“ I know I must be insane but hell I accept! “
“ finally you’ll stop being your bastard self and get into business
to find your beloved Shuichi? “ Yuki asked
“ Finding shuichi, yes but giving up my pride, hell no! “
“ alright then… “ Yuko nod and then the door to their left side slide open to reveal a drunk sexy woman known as the 9 tailed demon fox with a dish of sake on her left hand and a small bottle of sake on her left hand appear.
“ ara? Looks like I open one of the dimension door again. “ She said. When she saw the sexy attractive hot God of sex damn swooning--- (( sorry got carried away)) novelist Yuki Eiri she smile slyly and entered the room.
“ I finally see you ‘hook’ one interesting hot customer this
time Yuko-san. “ she said and examine the blonde writer who the first time felt uncomfortable having a woman all around him. Touching and feeling him like a cat playing with it’s owner.
“ will you stop sexual harassing my customer? You’re scaring the
hell out of him. “ Yuko said and gulp down a glass of beer.
Watanuki blush at the sight of the sexy beautiful fox woman/demon whose next to the writer. He receive a smack from Yuko when he thought the fox woman looks more prettier then the woman he worked for.
“ ano ne An-san, namae wa? “ the 9 tail fox demon asked. Eiri took a moment to digest what kind of dialect she’s speaking and he smirk for no reason, it’s kansai.
“ Yuki Eiri, and no I don’t want to be your drinking partner. “ he answered, receiving a pout from the drunk demon.
Hell, with Eiri’s experience with numerous women before, he could write a whole thick novel of the types of woman he met and their intention to him and their behaviour around him. The fox lady’s gesture wanted Eiri to accompany her for a drinking session but he’s not in the mood.
“ Oh yes, I remembered other then Mau-chan, you have another
maid taking care of your palace right? “ Yuko interrupt the fox lady before she harass our Yuki Eiri with another tactic.
“ why yes, a former caretaker of the `librabry`. Why do you
asked? “
“ What’s her name? “
“ She want people to call her name Haruna--- “
“Where’s Haruna?” Yuko ask
“ Cleaning up with mau/marieru-hime. Why? “
“ can I borrow her? This blondie needs a tour guide around the
universe to find his lover boy. “
“ I see… no wonder… he’s the typical features of a seme… how lucky of your boyfriends An-san” the fox lady grin and nudge the blonde writer.
“ for your information I only have one lover!” Eiri shout.
“ my my… what temper “ the fox lady sighed
“ youngsters these days, better keep up with them or you’ll be
blown away. “ Yuko nod.
“ don’t tell me Muraki and Aion are kidnapping pretty boys again” the fox lady went to Yuko’s table, caught a bottle and pour onto her dish.
“ uh huh, and it seems they’re getting to the Gravitation region
this month… I think they’re getting impressive. “ Yuko drank her
glass of sake.
“ what’s the region next to it? “ the fox lady asked
“ The Weizz… or maybe Get Backers… who knows. ”
“ my my… a lot of ukes wanted around there too…”
“ I pity their semes’ “
“ yup, and I think An-san’s (dis time referring to Yuko not Yuki)
shop might get popular then before “
“ I just got my first customer here.” Yuko points to Eiri.
Eiri and Watanuki have no idea of what conversation the two woman are having at the moment. Finally the fox lady clapped her hands together and after a moment a teenage girl in a maid’s dress with red hair and scarlet eyes came into Yuko’s room.
“ You call for me mistress? “ she asked and gave Eiri and Watanuki a small bow.
“ Yes, from now I ‘ll leave you with Yuko. She’ll explain further.
Farewell darlings” and the fox lady close the sliding door.
“ you are Haruna-chan right? “
“ yes my mistress Yuko-san. “
“ Have any idea about the `Library`”
“ Yes, currently the caretakers of the `library`are the sisters,
Eve-san and Ririsu-san. “
“ Very well. Take that man with the blonde hair with you. He’s
searching for sum one and I hope one of the caretaker could
guide him…”
“ I’m a former caretaker of the ‘Library’ mistress Yuko-san, I can
take the position to guide him through out the worlds. “
“ Very well then. You two may go now. ”
Haruna gave the witch a polite vow then turn to the blonde writer. She took his hand in her hand and pray under her breath. Her necklace that has a big red stone shines and something pops out revealing a…
“ PUU!! NICE TO METCHA!! “ a red Mokona, a fat round cute rabbit looking creature.
Watanuki drop to the floor “ another-another that thing??! “
“ not thing, it’s a Mokona. It’s just that this one is created by the
fox lady. Reserved only for the girl, unlike mine and Clow Reeds.” Then Yuko’s Mokona, which is the black one pops bounce Yuko’s head from behind her.
Meanwhile Eiri was about to shout something but he realize his hands are still in the grasp of the girl’s hands. The girls still praying and when she finish, the red Mokona on her head open it’s mouth so wide and with a huge power suck the writer and the red haired maid in.
“ I hope for him to have---“ Yuko’s words was cut by
“ Eiri-san!!” Tohma slam/slide open the door and was shock at the scene before him. His beloved imotou is gonna be sucked into that-that big mouth of a red creature.
But Tohma wasn’t alone. Followed behind him are Grasper’s vocalist and the monk in training and the keyboardist of Grasper and Bad Luck’s guitarist and Bad Luck’s manager.
To make things more interesting, the group got didn’t stand a chance to escape from red Mokona and they too are sucked in with Eiri and Haruna.
When everything finish and red Mokona bounce off the floor to disappear, Yuko sighed and grin from ear to ear. She repeat herself “ I wish you all the best fortune of on your journey”
“ was… was that Sakuma Ryuichi and Tohma Seguchi and
Hiro Nakano? “ Watanuki have gone slump, supporting himself on the wall. Man, he should have got their autographs if he knew he would bump into the many celebrities dropping in.
“ oh yes, can you be link to Haruna’s Mokona? “ Yuko asked her black Mokona.
“ off course Puu! “ Mokona took a swig of beer from the table.
Yuko put a palm under her chin. Yes… things are really getting interesting…
To be continue….

“ aniki called the police back that it’s just a practical joke but he
never care to explain to us what happen to Shuichi! Kuso… “ The
monk in training grit his teeth in annoyance.
“ maybe they have a fight again? So Yuki-san doesn’t want
anybody else to interfere in his and Shindo’s life? “
“ I had asked Eiri that but all he did was shaking his head.
‘Shuichi didn’t ran away’ ‘we didn’t have a fight` is all he said” Mika answered and sighed.
--
Eiri almost walk past a gate to a weird bungalow looking house with a garden. He legs didn’t listen to his commands and start working itself to walk past the gates and towards the house.
Surprising, even to his self, that the novelist didn’t shout random curses to his legs to stop walking into somebody’s house without asking when the front door opens by 2 girls.
“ Welcome to our humble home!” they greet the stunned novelist.
One girl wear an angel like white gown and bun head while the other girl wore a devil gown with two long ponytail. Their corneas looks empty but creepy smile stuck on their faces. “ Hitsuzen has brought another customer again. “ they said.
“MISTRESS WE HAVE A GUEST ~ ~ “ both the girls chant and giggle to each other. Grab an arm from Eiri and drag him inside even though finally he found his voice to protest and legs he could control again. The inside of the bungalow like house looks like any Japanese traditional house with tatami mats and sliding doors.
The girls stop dragging Eiri infront of this door and they slide open to reveal the owner of the house.
Yuko Ichihara (a name she call herself/an assumed name), from
XXX Holic, one of CLAMP’s recent manga. One the main character, long black hair, red eyes, tall and slim. The space time witch, the dimension witch, the lady witch, the far-east witch, she has a lot of names. The most selfish woman you ever met, a pushy salesperson, full of mystery, hates Clow Reeds whose maybe more better than her in magic and stuffs and we assuming she hates him, loves liquor, liquor, liquor and liquor and liquor, sake, liquor, liquor and liquor.
“ so… “ Yuko put down her pipe and position herself more comfortably on her long chair “you came here so that I could grant your wish? I can… with a price that is.“
Eiri almost went mute “wish?! The hell no!, I just happen to walk past your house and suddenly things happen and I’m here, forcefully! “
“ ah… that’s because hitsuzen is at work blondie “
“ hitsuzen?! “
“ don’t ask, she’ll just make you more hotter. Just buy the
Kodansha’s desk dictionary version 2. “
Eiri turned around and saw a school high school boy wearing an apron with 3 bottles of liquor enter the room.
“oh Watanuki-kun! I knew I sense beer coming near”
“ it’s Kirin beer “ Watanuki boredly add
“ The best!! “ and Yuki cheered
All the while Eiri kept silent and stood still as Yuko happily drank glass by glass the beer while her forced house cleaner cleans up after her dranked bottle of liquor. When Watanuki was about to leave the room, leaving the blonde man who unfortunately fell to Yuko-san’s “work” he notice the blonde look more then familiar.
“ Yu-Yu-Yuki Yuki Eiri-san!! You’re that famous romance/tragedy
novelist all the girls in my school worshp. “ I hope
Himawari-chan is not one of them Watanuki pray in his heart
“ oh?… it’s been a while since a celebrity drop in here and want their wish granted… “ Yuko glance at Eiri from her glass.
“ wait the hell second… can anybody kindly enough to explain why I’m dragged here by those two children--- “
“ those two children you meant is Maru “ Yuko point to the devil gowned girl whose sitting hear Yuko’s arm “ and Moro” she point to the angel gowned girl whose sitting near Yuko’s legs.
“oh by the way, “
Eiri notice the boy name Watanuki rub his temple and mutured “there she goes again”
Yuko continue “ their full names are `Maru-dashi’ and
`Moro-dashi’ kawai namae ne? ” Yuko grin
Eiri badly need to scream `what cute names?! It means go strip urself in public` but instead he said calmly “did you purposely name them that? “
“don’t you see how satisfied and happy these girls look like?” Yuko asked back and Eiri ignored the dancing chanting girls before Yuko.
“ I don’t buy it. “
“ suits yourself blondy ”
“ will you stop calling me that? “
“ ok, then b.l.o.n.d.y let’s get back to business. You came here to
my shop with a wish that I can grant… you can pay the price
after or before I grant your wish. “
“ granting people’s wish?! so you’re like a ginie in a bottle huh? “
“ you seriously don’t believe me don’t you? “
“ hell yeah “
“ tsk… tsk… it’s really a wonder how the cute naïve boy Shuichi
could fall and still put up for a somebody like you… pity pity… “
The minute the witch spoke the name of Eiri’s lover, the writer lost his cool and shout “ You know where Shuichi is?! “
“ is that the wish you want me to grant? “
“ I never asked for your help--- “
“ Your application have been received and can’t be cancelled” Yuko said simply as she gulp down another glass.
“ What the hell is this place?! “ Eiri felt like pulling his blonde hair from his head.
“ A store… “ Watanuki entered the room again “ a shop where
wishes can be granted… “
“ store? “ Eiri repeated.
“ wishes are granted “ Moro appear at Eiri’s right
“ if it’s possible for our customer “ Maru appear at Eiri’s left
“ our mistress will grant any wish “ they both said happily
“ and in exchange… a proper payment. “ Yuko put down the glass on the table “by that way balance is ensured.” She smiled
“ If you’re talking about money…“
“ Ah ah ah “ Yuko sealed Eiri’s lips with a finger, surprising the novelist when did he got close to the witch “I don’t want money”
Eiri raised his eyebrows. Sensing the novelist’s confusion, Watanuki answered him “ you can have your wish granted if you give something precious to Yuko-san”
And Eiri went more confused. “ some thing… valuable to me? “
“ Yes. That’s the system of my shop, the only payment involve is
something of great value from the customer… “
“ But I don’t have any fucking wish!! “
“ …………. `I wish I know where Shuichi is’ …… ‘ I wish I could have
my Shuichi back’ ……… ‘ I wish I could hold him again’… “ Yuko-san voice out and Eiri almost step back, speechless.
“ how… how did you… “
“ never mind that blondie. Anyway, what I said before were the
ones that you always thought, am I correct? “
Eiri didn’t say anything… finally he sighed and make up his mind to loose his pride a bit.
“ Yes… it’s true. It all happen last 2 weeks ago on the night of my
wedding with Shuichi. I saw this guy dress in all white enter our
room then pink and white light emits from the room. By the
time I reach there, I saw that man held my unconscious Shuichi
in his arms… smirking at me with triumph and disappear… since
then I never met Shuichi… “
“ You tried search for him but you knew deep in your heart you
felt Shuichi is not present in this world… right? “ Yuko puff her pipe. Shocking the writer and the blonde slowly nod.
There was silence for several moments in the room.
Watanuki was shocked and is in deep thoughts. Yuki-san and Shindo-san was about to get married? No wonder many of his girl classmates look down and un-genki when they talk about
Yuki-san. But the disappearance of Shindo-san sound too
fantasy-ish to be true. But he slap himself mentally when he remember what Yuko-san had told him “ you can see spirits, but to those who don’t have that ability will only think that your story would be fiction or delusion…” Yuki-san doesn’t seem to look like he’s making any joke and hell he look dead serious.
Yuko-san tapped her pipe to a table and inhale “ so… it’s wasn’t that bad to let it all out ne blondie? “
A vein pop on Eiri’s head.
“ and the guy in white…. “ Yuko think to herself
“ ever heard of Muraki Kazutaka? The physician? “
Seeing the blank look from the author is enough to answer her question. She asked again “ ever read or heard of The sinner Aion?” and Eiri shook his head. The witch make a `tsk` sound.
“ what a poor boy to fell in any of their clutches “ she said, referring the boy to Shuichi. “ well then, I could grant your wish but you must pay a reasonable price blondie. “
“ I don’t have anything precious “
“ oh really? Then, show me what’s in your pocket. “
“ the hell what? “
“ you hear me, the one you clutch dearly in your pocket” She said coolly, not moved at all my the writer’s death glare.
Eiri reluctantly take out his palm from his pocket that clutch the lighter where there’s a small picture of him and Shuichi 4 years ago… the blonde slowly and reluctantly gave the lighter to the witch.
“ ah… it aged almost five years and you still keep it even though
it’s long empty. No no no, this won’t do. “ and Yuko hand the lighter back to it’s owner.
“ but why Yuko-san? It’s Yuki-san’s most treasured item. “ Watanuki point out, almost shock that the witch didn’t receive the payment.
“ even though blondie treasure it for years, it’s not enough for a
payment to travel through different worlds to find a missing
pink hair boy. “ Yuko-san answered.
Eiri perked up “ travel… through.. worlds? Different worlds? “
“ why yes blondie” Yuko smile “ Worlds can be pretty small. The
one you know only consist of that which surrounds you… and the
world… when it is viewed by those who know, is far larger then
just one can hold.. “
Eiri took his time digesting what the lady before him just said.
“ I know I must be insane but hell I accept! “
“ finally you’ll stop being your bastard self and get into business
to find your beloved Shuichi? “ Yuki asked
“ Finding shuichi, yes but giving up my pride, hell no! “
“ alright then… “ Yuko nod and then the door to their left side slide open to reveal a drunk sexy woman known as the 9 tailed demon fox with a dish of sake on her left hand and a small bottle of sake on her left hand appear.
“ ara? Looks like I open one of the dimension door again. “ She said. When she saw the sexy attractive hot God of sex damn swooning--- ((
“ I finally see you ‘hook’ one interesting hot customer this
time Yuko-san. “ she said and examine the blonde writer who the first time felt uncomfortable having a woman all around him. Touching and feeling him like a cat playing with it’s owner.
“ will you stop sexual harassing my customer? You’re scaring the
hell out of him. “ Yuko said and gulp down a glass of beer.
Watanuki blush at the sight of the sexy beautiful fox woman/demon whose next to the writer. He receive a smack from Yuko when he thought the fox woman looks more prettier then the woman he worked for.
“ ano ne An-san, namae wa? “ the 9 tail fox demon asked. Eiri took a moment to digest what kind of dialect she’s speaking and he smirk for no reason, it’s kansai.
“ Yuki Eiri, and no I don’t want to be your drinking partner. “ he answered, receiving a pout from the drunk demon.
Hell, with Eiri’s experience with numerous women before, he could write a whole thick novel of the types of woman he met and their intention to him and their behaviour around him. The fox lady’s gesture wanted Eiri to accompany her for a drinking session but he’s not in the mood.
“ Oh yes, I remembered other then Mau-chan, you have another
maid taking care of your palace right? “ Yuko interrupt the fox lady before she harass our Yuki Eiri with another tactic.
“ why yes, a former caretaker of the `librabry`. Why do you
asked? “
“ What’s her name? “
“ She want people to call her name Haruna--- “
“Where’s Haruna?” Yuko ask
“ Cleaning up with mau/marieru-hime. Why? “
“ can I borrow her? This blondie needs a tour guide around the
universe to find his lover boy. “
“ I see… no wonder… he’s the typical features of a seme… how lucky of your boyfriends An-san” the fox lady grin and nudge the blonde writer.
“ for your information I only have one lover!” Eiri shout.
“ my my… what temper “ the fox lady sighed
“ youngsters these days, better keep up with them or you’ll be
blown away. “ Yuko nod.
“ don’t tell me Muraki and Aion are kidnapping pretty boys again” the fox lady went to Yuko’s table, caught a bottle and pour onto her dish.
“ uh huh, and it seems they’re getting to the Gravitation region
this month… I think they’re getting impressive. “ Yuko drank her
glass of sake.
“ what’s the region next to it? “ the fox lady asked
“ The Weizz… or maybe Get Backers… who knows. ”
“ my my… a lot of ukes wanted around there too…”
“ I pity their semes’ “
“ yup, and I think An-san’s (dis time referring to Yuko not Yuki)
shop might get popular then before “
“ I just got my first customer here.” Yuko points to Eiri.
Eiri and Watanuki have no idea of what conversation the two woman are having at the moment. Finally the fox lady clapped her hands together and after a moment a teenage girl in a maid’s dress with red hair and scarlet eyes came into Yuko’s room.
“ You call for me mistress? “ she asked and gave Eiri and Watanuki a small bow.
“ Yes, from now I ‘ll leave you with Yuko. She’ll explain further.
Farewell darlings” and the fox lady close the sliding door.
“ you are Haruna-chan right? “
“ yes my mistress Yuko-san. “
“ Have any idea about the `Library`”
“ Yes, currently the caretakers of the `library`are the sisters,
Eve-san and Ririsu-san. “
“ Very well. Take that man with the blonde hair with you. He’s
searching for sum one and I hope one of the caretaker could
guide him…”
“ I’m a former caretaker of the ‘Library’ mistress Yuko-san, I can
take the position to guide him through out the worlds. “
“ Very well then. You two may go now. ”
Haruna gave the witch a polite vow then turn to the blonde writer. She took his hand in her hand and pray under her breath. Her necklace that has a big red stone shines and something pops out revealing a…
“ PUU!! NICE TO METCHA!! “ a red Mokona, a fat round cute rabbit looking creature.
Watanuki drop to the floor “ another-another that thing??! “
“ not thing, it’s a Mokona. It’s just that this one is created by the
fox lady. Reserved only for the girl, unlike mine and Clow Reeds.” Then Yuko’s Mokona, which is the black one pops bounce Yuko’s head from behind her.
Meanwhile Eiri was about to shout something but he realize his hands are still in the grasp of the girl’s hands. The girls still praying and when she finish, the red Mokona on her head open it’s mouth so wide and with a huge power suck the writer and the red haired maid in.
“ I hope for him to have---“ Yuko’s words was cut by
“ Eiri-san!!” Tohma slam/slide open the door and was shock at the scene before him. His beloved imotou is gonna be sucked into that-that big mouth of a red creature.
But Tohma wasn’t alone. Followed behind him are Grasper’s vocalist and the monk in training and the keyboardist of Grasper and Bad Luck’s guitarist and Bad Luck’s manager.
To make things more interesting, the group got didn’t stand a chance to escape from red Mokona and they too are sucked in with Eiri and Haruna.
When everything finish and red Mokona bounce off the floor to disappear, Yuko sighed and grin from ear to ear. She repeat herself “ I wish you all the best fortune of on your journey”
“ was… was that Sakuma Ryuichi and Tohma Seguchi and
Hiro Nakano? “ Watanuki have gone slump, supporting himself on the wall. Man, he should have got their autographs if he knew he would bump into the many celebrities dropping in.
“ oh yes, can you be link to Haruna’s Mokona? “ Yuko asked her black Mokona.
“ off course Puu! “ Mokona took a swig of beer from the table.
Yuko put a palm under her chin. Yes… things are really getting interesting…
To be continue….
