Title: Close Calls
Author: Hiruma Musouka
Characters: Watanuki, Doumeki, Yūko
Pairings: none
Warnings/Comments: none
Challenge: #26 – Shake
Yūko breathed slowly and ignored the shaking in her hands.
There were days she truly cursed the ability to see possibilities. It was useful, and her wish-granting would be severely impaired without it but still…
Dōmeki had come far too close to death, and all from the actions of a human man without any power to speak of. If Watanuki hadn’t tripped and delayed them… it might have all fallen apart. Without Dōmeki, the bonds holding Watanuki here would have been too weak to save him, and without Watanuki…
Yūko reached for another drink of alcohol.
Hitsuzen could be cruel.

Well, it's been awhile since I posted anything so I figured I should try to put up something. I wasn't particularly inspired when I was glancing through the prompts so I'm not sure if I'm actually happy with how this turned out. Leave a reply and tell me what you think of it.
PS: for those waiting for the Bleach fics I mentioned, I'm sorry but school's being difficult and I've lost the notes I made for the story. It might be a while until I get something posted.

Title: A Different Mentor
Author: Hiruma Musouka
Characters: Watanuki, Clow Reed
Pairings: Clow/Watanuki if you squint and tilt your head
Warnings/Comments: This was inspired by “Past Voices” by Sony Boy on fanfiction.net. It was the first (and only) story I’ve ever read with Clow/Watanuki and I was intrigued despite myself. Unfortunately, the author doesn’t seem inclined to finish it.
Challenge: #66 – Clow Reed
There was once a Watanuki that dreamed very strange dreams.
He dreamed of a large mirror with a strange man inside it. The man had ebony hair, ornate robes and small spectacles.
He also had the prettiest eyes.
And Watanuki learned many things from this man. He learned about magic and the world. He learned how some people could see into the future. He learned that powerful mages couldn’t say anything outright and are compelled to speak in riddles.
And when Watanuki woke up each day, he learned that it was possible to miss someone whom you had never met.

“That’s a very… interesting dream, Yumekai-san,” Watanuki stated, pointing at an ominous black balloon.
“It’s for a special customer. He ain’t got no interest in good dreams, so I raised him a nightmare.” The dream-seller gave the balloon a dubious look before perking up, “Hiruko-han!”
Watanuki turned to see a teenager in a weird coat with a cane and suitcase. The Yumekai bounced over and exchanged the black balloon for a small glass sphere before happily floating off.
“They’re tasty.”
“Huh?” Watanuki started.
“The reason I wanted a nightmare.” Hiruko started walking away. “Nightmares of death are sweetest to me.”

“No.”
She chuckled.
“I mean it, Witch. I’m not a short-sighted, new Immortal, and I don’t want you granting anything!”
“You wouldn’t be able to enter if you didn’t have a wish.”
“He would have found out anyway, and he’s too much of a boy-scout to take it well. MacLeod grew up brainwashed by chivalry and still hasn’t accepted the way things really were in the past.”
“Yes, but you have another wish.”
“…”
“Perhaps certain dangerous people could be persuaded to ‘forget’ you?”
“… and the price?”
“It’ll take one-and-a-half years.”
Methos groaned and wasn’t surprised when Yūko cackled.

Clow Reed’s childhood was a convoluted mix of two cultures. The elegant balance of his mother’s eastern magic and the direct power of his father’s European magic made for a shocking contrast.
It’s no wonder the man made no sense at times.
As short as it was, Watanuki did have a good childhood with loving parents. They indirectly taught him to have a generous heart.
And despite his social awkwardness, that heart’s as much a part of him as seeing spirits.
Only a brave man would ask the Dimensional-Witch about her childhood.
Only a fool will believe what she says.

Watanuki looked at the palace (with people included) frozen in a golden prison and shivered. Glancing at a bird paralyzed mid-flight when it brushed a curtain; he clutched his omamori and hurried after Yuko.
Yuko slipped on a glove embroidered with symbols and picked up a golden orb with pulsing green lines.
“What happened here,” Watanuki whispered.
“There are beings that’re happy to grant wishes without a price. But they interpret the wish however they want. The stronger your desire, the more likely the wish is granted in some twisted manner.

“I would think you’d know better than to accept things from strangers after all these years!” Watanuki growled, dragging Doumeki away from the pretty girl offering chocolate. The girl pouted at the retreating sorcerer before vanishing in a flurry of glitter.
“It’s Valentine’s day.” Doumeki deadpanned.
“We are in Europe! Fairies abound here, and one of their ‘rules’ is that their worst tricks happen after you accept something! Didn’t you listen when I explained the hazards surrounding this particular customer! How would you like waking up a woman tomorrow!”
Doumeki looked appraisingly at Watanuki.
“… It would be interesting.”
“SHIZUKA!”

But regardless! I have won! Ganondorf is dead (for now)! And what a wonderful game it was! The graphics were incredible, the facial expression were wonderfully done, you had new moves during battle, the plot was great and I actually liked our helper this time! Midna was such an improvement from Navi and Tatl and she was an actual character instead of a glorified help manual. sigh I adored the game. I can't wait for the next one to come out. Zelda is the one series I buy religiously. I try to keep up with the Final Fantasy games too, but while their plot is fantastic there's usually something about the game play I don't like. Not so with Zelda.

Watanuki watched in surprise as a petite crimson haired woman jogged past the shop. Her appearance was unique enough, but it was the glimpse of a translucent fire wolf that caught his attention. It flickered out of sight right after Watanuki saw it.
"It’s an impression." Yuko stated with an oddly pleased look directed towards the girl. "Powerful beings often leave imprints on those they work with long after they’ve left."
"Why did the wolf need to work with that young woman?"
"In order to save a world from itself, you need someone with a will stronger than anyone else."

I'm going to save at least half of my paycheck in order to buy the Rosetta Stone program for Japanese. I'd buy Spanish first (although I'm not really interested in it) simply because it would make me more appealing to employers, but Rhea Hiryuu's dad is thinking about buying it and I'd prefer not to spend the money.
I'm going to be really busy in the next few days even though I only asked for 15 hours because of the rush of customers. Since I have 2 weeks until school starts I don't really care though. And once school DOES start, I'll have to make sure to have time for homework and the gym.
