Summary: As Yuuko “cleaned” out her treasure room, she found a video tape that contained something that she probably didn’t want to remember.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Yuuko Ichihara had never cleaned.
In fact, the word “cleaning” hardly existed in her vocabulary.
But today, to Watanuki’s surprise, to Mokona’s surprise, and probably to all the dimensions’ surprise, Yuuko Ichihara walked into her famous treasure room and sat down to organize boxes of objects she collected over who-knows-how-long.
She seemed distressed, almost like a mad woman touching whatever object she could reach and drop it the second after she glanced at the poor item.
Watanuki thought it was all the sake she drank; Mokona worried that something went wrong in the dimension.
But who would know what an “evil” scheming dimension witch would be thinking on a typical Wednesday?
Watanuki and Mokona watched on, thinking that the witch would probably spend the day “cleaning” by throwing all the objects from one side of the room to the other.
But suddenly she stopped. Her hands were trembling slightly; her eyes widened as she suddenly spotted something from a nearby box.
Mokona peeked into the room further, and correctly identified the object-in-question to be a video tape.
“A video tape?” Watanuki questioned.
Though Yuuko was aware of what the tape recorded, she stumbled up and grabbed a VCR player close by and shoved the tape into its “mouth”.
Watanuki eyed the machine oddly. On the side, he spotted a scribble that read “property of Clow Reed” with another line almost illegible. It turned out that the second part was none other than his employer’s name.
The screen Yuuko pulled out of nowhere flashed, and a man about twenty appeared on the screen. He was smiling at the camera and made a small wave.
There were some mutterings and even cursing from the background, and the voice belonged to none other than the woman sitting in front of the screen.
Seconds later, another figure finally appeared. Watanuki squinted to make out the person.
It was a girl, or a young lady to be more precise. Her long flowing black hair was tired fancily into a bun, and she was fiddling with her delicate read-and-black evening gown.
That person was none other than a young Yuuko Ichihara.
Wait, evening gown? For the first time, Watanuki turned to study the young man’s attire. He was wearing an overly decorated robe, with lots of detailed ornaments hanging everywhere.
Must have been some fancy event. Watanuki assumed.
“Clow? Do you have any intention of leaving at all?” young Yuuko spoke for the first time as the young man, now identified as Clow Reed, stopped chattering half-jokingly with the person filming.
“Of course, my dear.” he walked toward her, and extended one of his hands.
Instead of accepting it, young Yuuko simply glared at her companion and went out of the view with a loud ‘humph’. Though before her disappearance, Watanuki was certain that the young woman was blushing furiously. Her face was red as a tomato to the point that Watanuki was able to see the redness through his right eye with a mere 50% sight.
Was that affection?
The screen turned black as a loud ‘click’ was heard. The present day Yuuko let out a loud sigh as she put everything out of her way. She then proceeded to stare at the ceiling blankly.
As Watanuki turned to leave, he spotted something watery in Yuuko’s eye. Were those tears?
While he made his way back to the kitchen where he was supposed to be cooking, Mokona commented solemnly,
“She was regretting something…”
Watanuki raised an eyebrow as he thought about the events just unfolded. Yuuko-san cleaning? And now he just saw something very much like tears in her eyes? He must have been dreaming, or Yuuko-san had been very drunk this morning.
He decided that he would get some hangover for her after finishing cooking, though he did wonder who that man really was.

Pairing/Characters: Yuuko Ichihara – Clow Reed

Summary: Mokona found a beautiful pink flower in the garden, and it wanted to know what it is.
-----------------------------------------------------------
“Yuuko-san! Yuuko-san!” Yuuko Ichihara looked up from her cup of tea as she heard her name.
Seconds later, she saw an excited Mokona jumping into the view.
“What is it?” she smiled gently and eyed the happy fluff ball.
“Guess what I found in the garden?” Mokona took out something from its back, “look!”
In front of Yuuko was a blooming pink flower. Her eyes widened as she identified the flower without fail.
“Do you know what it is called?” Mokona asked curiously as it jumped onto her shoulder.
“It’s a pink carnation,” Yuuko replied as she gently touched the petals.
“Pink carnation? I heard from a fairy-san that every flower has a meaning. Is that right?” Mokona looked up at Yuuko.
“Aye, I bet it’s the fairy-san who lived with that young doctor told you that,” Yuuko chuckled, and then let out a small sigh, “the pink Carnation means that the giver will never forget the receiver.”
At those lines, Yuuko saw another hand extending the same blooming Carnation to her. His hands were strong, and the flower was blooming just liked the other one Mokona showed her moments ago.
“Here, for you,” he smiled playfully and put the flower into her hair.
It was years ago, but she still recognized the flower the moment he presented it her.
“What does that mean?” she questioned and raised an eyebrow.
“That I’ll never forget you…” he whispered softly into her ear.
“Yuuko-san?” Mokona’s voice drowned the scenery immediately as she was back to reality again, a world no longer with him in it.
“I’m still here,” she smiled softly.
“I was just saying that if I have someone to give this special flower to, it’ll be the other Mokona or Yuuko-san!” Mokona bounced around her as it declared cheerfully.
“Then save it for the other Mokona, will you? I’m sure that it’ll be treasured.” Yuuko smiled softly as she recalled another dried pink Carnation somewhere deeply buried in her treasure room.
“Who will you give it to, Yuuko-san?” Mokona looked up to meet Yuuko’s eyes.
She paused for a moment, then let out a heartily laugh.
“Yeah right, like I’ll actually give that to anyone.”
She chuckled at herself that she really thought about giving one to the only man who once gave her one, that flower with the special meaning.
