A/N: -shi would refer to someone if you don't know them, and Watanuki hasn't met Sakura or Syaoran yet. Connected drabbles, btw. Based off of Horitsuba Gauken. Yeah, this is KuroFai, deal. There isn't a lot in the first, is there? Oh well, just wait!
Disclaimer: I don't own Tusbasa:RC, xxxHolic, or Horitsuba Gauken, CLAMP does.
Drabble #1. Introduction
A blonde pushed open the door with his shoulder, bags filling his hands and one hung from his mouth. He dropped the bag from his mouth on a little table that sat near the door. He winced when something shattered, but did not check the bag, instead flouncing deeper inside the shop. "Yuuuuko-senpai!" The lanky man plopped down in front of a bigger table, laying the bags down carefully. A younger boy peered into the room, pushing up his glasses. The blonde snapped his head up. "Uwaaa~ Is Yuuko here?" He paused, twirling a strand of his hair. "Because I really do need to talk to her." The boy, confused of course, blinked a few times. Then he straightened the apron he wore.
"Yuuko? She didn't tell me we were having any customers today." He untied the apron, sitting down across from the strange, blonde man. "I'm sorry; I don't have any tea or anything. It'd be nice if Yuuko actually told me when things are supposed to happen." The blonde man just gave him a curious look. "She said she had some important errand to run…" He tried to peer into one of the bags, but the blonde hit his hand sharply. "What's in these bags, anyway?"
The man smiled. "Glad you asked!" He stood up, pulling almost everything out of the bags. "I'm a Science teacher! See, Yuuko asked me to work here, well not in this shop, but in this town." He ran his hand over a flask, smiling. "Oh. I'm Fai D. Fluorite! I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself beforehand." He clasped the boy's hand.
"Science teacher?" The boy stared at him, twitching. "Yuuko doesn't run a school..." He muttered this under his breath. "Ah. Kimihiro Watanuki." And he shook Fai's hand. "Do you want tea? I'm sure I can find ingredients for it." Watanuki was already headed for the kitchen. He turned back, waiting for the new found teacher's answer. Fai suddenly sprung up, and that's when Watanuki noticed he was wearing a lab coat.
As Fai opened his mouth to answer, a voice pitched in. "Watanuki~ Why didn't you call and tell me we had a guest?" Both men turned to be faced with a woman, wickedly smiling. She draped an arm over Fai's shoulders. "Hyuu~ So nice to see you, Fai!" She snuggled his head against hers, and he returned the gesture. "Watanuki," Yuuko turned her head toward said person, smirking. "Fai and I, we'd like some wine, the French kind." Fai nodded in agreement. "Because Fai came all the way, just to work for me." Watanuki grumbled under his breath, going to fetch the French wine.
As he did so, the door swung open in an angry burst. Watanuki paused in his steps, turning to stop the person from bursting any farther in. Unfortunately, said person was a bit, err, angry. "Get out of the damn way, kid." The man pushed past Watanuki, grabbing Yuuko's arm. "You can't leave your class in the middle of the day, witch!" He seethed at Yuuko, who, of course, just laughed.
"Ne, Kurogane-kun, I can because I'm the principal. Anyway, it would have been rude of me to not come greet out new Science teacher, Fai D. Fluorite!" She tugged her arm out of Kurogane's grasp. She turned toward the blonde. "Fai~ This is Kurogane, the P.E. teacher. One of your colleagues!" Over near the door, Watanuki closed it quietly, looking over at the group of adults. He sighed, picking up a bottle of French wine, walking quietly over to the three.
Fai tilted his head as Watanuki walked over. "Kurogane is a loooong name. How's Kuro-sama? Kuro-chii? Kuro-puu?" The Science teacher smiled as said man attempted to grab his head.
"Yuuko, could you please explain what's going on." He handed the wine to the Science teacher, turning to his boss. "I'm serious; we usually don't have two customers at the same time…" He glanced back as the two. Fai was running away from Kurogane with the bottle of wine. Kurogane did a dive attack, which resulted in him landing on top of Fai, and Fai making some odd cooing noises.
"They are guests, Watanuki. Not customers. But… they can still come in the shop, as they both have wishes." She smiled as Fai got back up, wine bottle still in hand, and the chasing ensued again. "Wishes that are similar, even if the two do not realize it. And, I happen to work at Horitsuba Gauken, which you will be transferred to in a few days! Isn't that wonderful?" She clapped her hands together. "And Syaoran, Sakura, Himawari and Doumeki will be going to!" She flounced off, grabbing the wine bottle from Fai's hand.
Watanuki stared at her for a moment. "Ah. Who are Sakura-shi and Syaoran-shi?" He blinked as Fai tackled Yuuko, trying to get the wine bottle. Kurogane, on the other hand, leaned against the wall, closing his eyes. Watanuki decided he was going to suffer some kind of trauma from this.
