The bells on the door announce another visitor to the Green Drugstore. It was long after the drugstore had really closed, but it was no matter. This particular customer was a regular around this time, and was anticipated. There was even tea ready for the meeting, fresh and hot.

"Yuko-san," Kakei greeted.

"Kakei-san," Yuko returned. "How's business?"

"As well as could be expected, I suppose. You?" Kakei motioned for the woman to take a seat. Yuko obliged, and Kakei served them both before sitting as well.

"Lucrative."

"And your boy? Watanuki, was it?"

"Mm. He's a wonderful cook. Doumeki is working out perfectly, too," Yuko settled back in the seat, a satisfied smirk across her face.

"Good to hear. Everything is going to plan, then?" Kakei relaxed into his favorite chair, sipping his tea thoughtfully as he watched his guest.

"Of course. He's started, by the way."

"Really? Have you found him?" Kakei lifted an eyebrow.

"Close enough," Yuko responded, shrugging. "How are your two?"

"Entertaining."

"Wonderful. We're almost ready."

"Almost," Kakei agreed. " Shall we get down to business, then?"

Yuko returned the man's steady gaze, "Yes. I'm going to need you to get me…"

A/N I just read XXXHolic volume five: the urn the Yuko-san uses is the same urn that Kazahaya and Rikuo get in Gohou Drug volume two! The urn not only looks the same on the outside, but you can see that the world /inside/ is the same, too! Yuko-san's reference to the drug store is pretty interesting, too… Anyway, once I'd relized this, the idea of Kakei and Yuko knowing each other and working together struck me as plausible. Thus, the above.

Okay! I've got a challenge:

Write a crossover-fic between XXXHolic and Gohou Drug. It has to be at least 100 words and has to include the Pipe Fox and Kazahaya fainting. Extra points for the following: Kissing between Kazahaya/Rikuo and/or Watanuki/Doumeki, fan(girl) service, and Saiga hitting on Yuko/Kazahaya/Watanuki.

Good Luck!
