Watanuki Kimihiro is a man that many would not hesitate to say has everything one could ever want. He is a beautiful man, with long black hair, gentle and deep sapphire eyes hidden behind slim spectacles, with a slender but appealing litheness. He owns silken garments of all kinds, tailored just for him, and a thriving business of granting wishes. He is virtually ageless and looks no older than twenty-five. He commands great respect among the spirit world and never has to worry about money or being haunted by spirits he can't handle. His power is unmatched even by gods. Perhaps the only person ever stronger than him was his predecessor, Yuuko Ichihara, before she disappeared from all worlds.

To many, this man has everything.

But every day at five o'clock, Watanuki Kimihiro can be found sitting alone on a bench in the park, wearing an old and somewhat shabby business suit. He's never seen wearing the jacket and his sleeves are always rolled up to his elbows, as if he has just come home from a hard day at work.

Every day, those blue eyes are calm and watch the children play, looking for a specific one. That child will always come to the park at five o'clock with his mother. When that little boy appears, a soft smile comes across his pretty features and mothers around him blush. And as always, the little boy spots him right away and rushes up to talk to him.

"Hey, Mister! You're here again! Why do you always come every day?"

And whenever the child asks this, Watanuki Kimihiro will smile sadly and say, "This place is a very important place. I lost something very precious here a long time ago."

"Really? Want me to help you look for it?"

Watanuki Kimihiro will laugh if the boy asks this. "You don't need to. It still comes here and I see it every day."

But before the boy can ask, as he will try to every day, what that is, his mother will call him away to play with the other children and with a wave, he will rush off like exuberant children always do. Watanuki Kimihiro will remain on that bench with that smile on his face until the boy goes home. Then he will get up and leave to go back to his shop.

When he enters, there are two voices that will call out, "Welcome back, Master!" And they will always ask, "Did you see him today too?"

"I'm back, Maru, Moro. And yes, I did."

They will rush up to him with a change of clothes into silk or velvet, as he assumes his role of wish granter. A small, strange black creature will come to perch on his shoulder, wishing him home, and a pipe fox will launch itself from its sleep and wind around his neck. The interior of his shop is always clean and beautiful things line the walls. It is intricate, even if it seems small, and the bedroom is even close to palatial.

People would say, when presented with the image of this person, that he has everything, but if you ask Watanuki Kimihiro if he has everything, he will answer:

"I have nothing."

If you ask Watanuki Kimihiro what he lost in the park a long time, he will answer:

"My heart."

If you ask what his heart was, he will answer:

"Doumeki Shizuka."

Because while many would say that Watanuki Kimihiro has everything, in truth, he has everything but what matters. Long ago, he lost the one love of his life and he visits the park every day where it happened and he held the lifeless body in his arms for hours until his whole form was as numb and stiff as his heart.

Every day, Watanuki Kimihiro grants wishes, but everyone knows that at five o'clock, he can only be found at that park and watches with greedy and loving eyes at the little boy that always visits there with his mother. He loves and cares from a distance to the reincarnation of his true love, waiting for the day when they can be together once again.

Watanuki Kimihiro has everything and nothing.
