Pairing: Watanuki x Doumeki (implied)
Rating: PG
Notes: I do not claim these characters, they belong to CLAMP! Another one from Doumeki's POV. It will probably be a one-shot, since I can't think of anything else that can possible be done here. It was supposed to be a split personality Watanuki... But it didn't quite work out... Hope you like it anyway!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whatever the current mission was that Yuuko had sent him on, Watanuki had made it very clear to Doumeki that he had not want him getting involved. So here he was a little over an hour later with a headache, his ears still ringing from the echoed yells.

Yuuko was taking a long drag on her pipe, and slowly letting the smoke out through her mouth. She was obviously deep in thought about something, and Doumeki still wondered why she hadn't insisted that Doumeki go along, just in case. He was also wondering why he hadn't gone despite Watanuki's loud protests.

He didn't know what Watanuki was trying to prove by going solo today, all Doumeki wanted was to make sure the other boy was safe. What kind of mission had Yuuko said it was? Just getting some item out of an old, abandoned building? Well, technically speaking, that didn't seem to be to hard, but with a boy that was a magnet for all things paranormal, Doumeki was sure that Watanuki would be running back with a hungry spirit at his heels.

And then he was standing, and Yuuko was staring up at him, "Getting impatient I see."

He nodded, walking toward the front door, just missing her signature creepy grin.

He heard Watanuki long before he saw him. Doumeki was just reaching the gate, and it sounded like Watanuki was yelling at someone. He didn't hear any other voice but Watanuki's, but from the back and forth banter, it seemed as if he was talking to himself.

Seemed pretty normal to him, since he had known Watanuki to talk to himself every once in a while; but what he was not prepared for was seeing two Watanukis coming through the gate, one holding a rather large ceramic vase, and the other yelling at the top of his lungs. Now that he could actually tell what this one was saying, he realized he was not actually yelling at the other Watanuki, but complaining about the situation.

Doumeki blinked and rubbed his eyes. He was sure Watanuki didn't have a twin, so who the hell was this look-alike?

When the yelling Watanuki caught sight of Doumeki, he seemed to become angrier, "What the HELL are you still doing here?"

The other Watanuki looked up from the vase to see Doumeki, a blush appearing on his face as he walked by to where Yuuko had approached not far behind Doumeki. The woman began laughing, and the yelling Watanuki turned on her, "WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT? THIS IS NOT FUNNY! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS BEFORE I GO BACK TO SCHOOL?"

Then he went on yelling about random things that didn't interest Doumeki in the very least, though he did catch 'Himawari-chan' and 'Listen to me, Doumeki!' a few times.

Yuuko turned to the calmer Watanuki.Taking the vase from him, she asked, "What happened?"

"Well, I was cooking for Tomoyo-san. I was supposed to have everything done before the race, and I saw this feather thing, then I was in a weird looking house and he was there," he replied, pointing at the still yelling Watanuki, then he started to panic too.

"I need to get back! There is so much to do before the race starts! Tomoyo-san was out with Sakura-san, it needed to be done before they got back!"

His hands were on his head now, and the two were yelling at the top of their lungs, as if they were competing to see who could yell the loudest.

"Watanuki-kun," Yuuko said. Both boys were silenced, and now looked at the witch. Monkona bounced on her shoulder as she explained to them that she would talk to Sakura to see what must be done.

"Since it was this vase that got you here, we would need something from your world to get you back, something similar, something owned by Tomoyo-san."

She took another drag from her pipe and looked down at the happy Mokona, "Let's contact Syaoran-kun and the others then."

Mokona smiled and happily agreed.

The image displayed was that of Sakura-hime, dressed in a pink outfit most likely made by Tomoyo-san herself, piloting a odd looking flying vehicle.

Sakura looked at them and said, "Sorry, Yuuko-san, but I can't talk right now, I'm kind of in the middle of something."

Yuuko nodded and said she would talk to Sakura later, then the transmission ended.

"I guess that can't be helped," Yuuko said looking over the three boys, "I think the three of you should go for a walk, and get some fresh air, or something to eat. We can contact them again when you get back, and then discuss payment."

The Piffle Universe Watanuki began yelling.

----------------------------------------------------------------
The three of them were now sitting in a fast food restaurant, the real Watanuki complaining about Doumeki having to be there too. Doumeki ignored the other boy's yelling, and finally, he got up to go get more soda.

The Piffle Universe Watanuki looked at Doumeki, "Can I talk to you for a second."

"Hn."

"You look just like the Doumeki in my world."

"And?" Doumeki said raising an eyebrow, didn't seem like an interesting conversation.

Piffle Watanuki blushed, "Well, I kind of like him, and I was wondering if I should tell him."

This surprised Doumeki, it was almost like getting a confession from Watanuki, almost. Except, this wasn't the Watanuki of his world, it was the Watanuki of another world.

"You should tell him," Doumeki said simply, taking a bite of his hamburger.

"You really think so?"

Doumeki nodded.

Piffle Watanuki put a hand on Doumeki's arm, "Do you think he will return my feelings?"

Doumeki nodded again.

The other boy looked rather smug, "That must mean you like the Watanuki from your world."

Doumeki didn't answer, so the other boy continued, "You should tell him."

"He's still not ready to hear it."

"He's still in denial, huh?"

"Who's in denial?" Came a voice from behind them. Watanuki was back, and sitting back down across from Doumeki. Doumeki didn't answer, but Piffle Universe Watanuki said, "Nothing."

Watanuki raised an eyebrow at the other boy, "Uh huh."

A few minutes later he was yelling at Doumeki again complaining that Doumeki had swiped a few of his french fries while he was gone; which of course hadn't happened.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were back to Yuuko's shop faster than expected, and Piffle Universe Watanuki was complaining that he had missed the preliminaries for a race, and that he needed to get back and fast.

Yuuko was already talking to Sakura and Tomoyo, and they were just in time to hear that the races had been sabotaged.

"None of that would have happened if I was there," Piffle Watanuki said, and if he were a cat, you would be able to see his ears folding downward.

"I've got the item you asked for, Yuuko-san," Tomoyo said.

Yuuko turned to Piffle Watanuki, "Are you ready to go? I expect dinner from your world in about an hour, I have never had food from your dimension yet."

"Is that the payment for sending me back?"

Yuuko nodded, "It should be plenty good enough if you are as good a cook as our Watanuki!"

"Alright, I'm ready!" Then Piffle Watanuki was gone, and appeared next to Tomoyo.

"Thanks, Yuuko-san," he said with a wave, "Your dinner will be done soon, I'll make sure to send enough for all of you!"

The transmission ended, and Yuuko turned to Watanuki, "We need sake!"

"Mokona wants sake too!"

"WHAT? SAKE NOW?"

"Yes, be a good boy and go get us sake!"

"Mokona too!"

Exactly an hour later, Mokona sent through a transmission from Piffle Universe, Sakura and Piffle Watanuki were there, and a Doumeki look-alike.

Just as the transmission had started, Piffle Watanuki was swatting the Doumeki look-alike's hands from a few cheap looking bento boxes.

"These are for Yuuko and the others there!" Piffle Watanuki yelled, but Doumeki swore he could hear a whisper added, " There's some extra for you on the counter."
