Winged One

Wow so many reviews. I’m honestly surprised. But very happy! Thank you all so much to everyone who reviewed! Your all so awesome!

I just wanted to warn you that the xxxHolic part of this story will be ending soon. Some of the characters might make some appearances from time too time but this is a Petshop of Horrors story. I have XXXholic in here because of two reasons. One because it’s awesome. Two because I need someone to help Leon out. To discover himself and to find D.

Remember that this will become YAOI later. Nothing too hard core but it will be there.

As Leon turned the corner of the house he had to stop and stare. He had been walking only a few steps behind the boy that he only just realized he didn’t even know the name of.

A beautiful woman wearing a very loose kimono was lounging on a huge wicker chair drinking out of a small sake cup. Her long dark hair spread around her causing it to almost seem alive. Two young girls were standing onto one side of the woman. They almost gauged as much attention as the woman, one was all pink and white with bright pink hair and cute angel wings. The other was all blue and white. Long blue hair with little black devil wings made her outfit. It was like they were made to be opposites.

The young girls were playing with some type of black plushie toy.

The boy didn’t seem to have noticed that Leon was no longer following him because he kept on walking until he was standing in front of the woman.

Even from were he was standing Leon could practically feel the disapproval the boy was radiating at the woman, or more specifically the alcohol bottles that was laying around the floor of the lady.

Leon would bet that they weren’t there before the boy had left.

“I leave for FIVE minutes and you’ve already gone through FOUR bottles!! I don’t even what to think how many the freaking meat bun has gone though!! What do you have to say for yourself?!”

The woman looked with unimpressed eyes to the fuming young man in front of her. A smirk started to twitch on her face as she continued to stare at the increasingly angry boy.

“Ahh! Watanuki it seems that I’ve run out of sake would you be a good boy and go fetch me some of that sweet wine in the storage room? I suddenly have the urge to drink something sweet.”

Leon winched, even if he only meet the young man a few minutes ago he could tell that that wasn’t something to say and judging by the steam rolling out of the boy’s ears he was in for a show.

But before the boy who he now knew was named Watanuki could explode in an impressive show of anger the woman’s face suddenly went serious. The boy noticed it right away and stopped.

“Watanuki would you please show our guest to the meeting room? I’m afraid I’m not quite presentable enough to be in the presence of a Winged One.”

Leon wondered if he looked as lost and confused as the boy.

The boy just turned to look at Leon and shrugged as if to say ‘What can you do?’

Leon snickered and nodded his head in understanding. That woman took mysterious way to seriously. Much like someone else he use to know.

“Sorry about that she could get a little difficult at times. By the way my name is Watanuki Kimihiro I’m a part time worker here and you are?”

“It’s alright Watanuki-san I use to know someone very much like her years ago. My name is Orcot Leon.”

Leon gave a very awkward bow while Watanuki gave a much more graceful one in return.

“If you’ll follow me I’ll take you to the meeting room and make us some tea. Despite Yuko’s outrageous outfits she surprisingly gets ready quite fast.”

Leon just nodded and followed Watanuki into the house through a side door. Taking off his shoes before walking inside Leon was lead through tasteful decorated rooms before they got into a huge room that only had a table and two chairs in it. It was more then vaguely intimidating.

“Why don’t you have a seat? I’ll go get you some tea. Do you have any preferences?”

Leon sat down in one of the chairs and turned to look at the boy.

“Umm…if you have any authentic chi tea that would be nice.”

“I’m sure we have something like that.”

Watanuki nodded his head and walked out of the room.

Now that Leon was alone he finally had the time to realize what the hell he was doing.

‘Why am I even here? I don’t know what kind of scam or hocus these people are doing, still… the boy was right. It wasn’t like I had much else to do right now other then find a place to stay the night. Maybe I can get directions from this Yuko chick about the nearest Chinatown. Then at least this won’t be a waste of time. Hmm… you know that woman’s kind of hot. Too bad I can tell that she’s off her rocker. You got to feel sorry for that poor kid having to work with an alcoholic.’

Leon rubbed his eyes tiredly and yawned it seemed that for the last few months he had been getting sleeper and sleeper. It was like no matter how much he slept it was never enough. Leon had even entertained the idea of going to a hospital and getting a CAT scan of his brain. Just too check to see if he didn’t have any sort of sickness or something.

Looking up Leon had just enough time to catch sight of two pair of eyes staring at him through a crack in the sliding doors before they disappeared.

Leon smiled ruefully it seemed that those young kids were curious of him. He didn’t mind really it was kind of cute.

Finally after waiting another ten minutes Watanuki came back in with a tea cart. Just as he set down a steaming cup in front of Leon and on the opposite side of the table the sliding door opened.

Leon turned his attention to the door and felt his mouth drop.

Seriously that woman could give world class models a run for their money… and win with a land slide vote.

Yuko was wearing a kimono that was different shades of blue and green. It looked like she was wearing shimmering flowing water instead of fabric.

Her long hair was up in some kind of topknot and she had some very expensive jewelry on herself as well.

Watanuki seemed use to this kind of sight though because all he did was send his employer a dirty expired look and bowed out of the room taking the cart with him.

“While I appreciate your admiration of my person I think it would be quaint to get to business don’t you Mr. Orcot?”

Leon was startled out his daze as he coughed in embarrassment.

“Ah yes of course Yuko-san.”

“Oh you can just call me Yuko.”

“Alright Yuko.”

Yuko just smiled causing Leon to feel a chill. It was just like D’s smile… the one he wore just as he presented a seemingly harmless pet to a customer…

Never mind that that customer was all too often found dead the next day.

“So… your assistant told me that you sold wishes?”

Leon tired to keep the skepticism from showing from his voice but sadly it was not too be.

Luckily though Yuko didn’t take offense to his tone, in fact if Leon wanted to be honest with himself it looked more like she was amused that he didn’t believe.

‘Oh boy something tells me I just got myself in a heap of trouble.’

The cat ate the canry grin didn’t help his train of thought either.
