aqueoustransmissionThe evilest thing I've ever planned. Also, needed hours in a local library, lots of Google searches and 2.50€ spent in a travel magazine.
So I'll announce the opening of the London plot bunny. Couldn't write a lot, as inspiration hits me late at night.
Title: City of blinding lights
Chapter: 1 (part 1)
Fandoms: XXXHOLiC/Card Captor Sakura
Time: let's say post-CCS-manga, post-HOLiC-volume-3
Genre: Crack in its purest. Comedy, suspense, and of course, crossover.
Pairings: well, the story won't revolve around them, but there are mentions to Touya/Yukito and Eriol/Kaho; Clow/Yuuko and Kaho/Touya seen in restrospective.
Summary: Yuuko got a job in London and drags Watanuki with her during three days and two nights. But the English capital is a strange place, and they meet several weird, magic entities they didn't expect to.
Warnings: I've never gone to England, but I've documented myself. I might be wrong, though. The fic is filled with personal paranoias, but they won't affect the result. Do not read it while drinking milk.
He had a hard day at school, but the afternoon was gonna get even worse, if possible. At least the next day was a national holiday, so that meant he had a day off; too bad he couldn't relax as he had to work. The teenager arrived to his employer's house, sighed, and entered. He left his shoes at the entrance, pushed his glasses against his forehead and looked for his apron. It took him 125 seconds to discover what was wrong with the picture.
The living room was filled with open suitcases, and some dresses lay on the couch. Moro, with her pink hair waving, came in and deposited some lingerie on the furniture.
"Wait! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" he asked, but the girl just giggled and ran.
"Yuuko and Mokona are going to travel today!" said a black creature over the coffee table, joyous.
"Uh? Where?"
"Mokona doesn't know where it is, but sounds like fun!"
"Finally you came, Watanuki!" A sexy woman, with long, black hair touched his shoulder. He jumped. "I was expecting you."
"Are you going to travel, then? Or are you just looking for a lost skirt or something? Look at this mess! It will take me hours to clean up!"
"Yes, I have a job overseas. A foreign man came into my shop yesterday morning, and I told him I was gonna meet him over his place in London. So I'm packing my things. We'll be there for three days."
"Oh, good for you! Then I'll go home early, as you don't need me here." He saluted and walked to the door, but she yanked him back.
"What do you mean, silly? You're coming with us!" She grinned.
"WHAT?! ARE YOU AWARE I'M NOT ON VACATION? I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL!"
"Today is Friday, and tomorrow you don't have classes. We'll be returning here on Sunday, so there's no problem. Go home and pack your clothes and a toothbrush."
"Why are you taking decisions without consulting me?" He yelled.
"Well sorry, I need your help this weekend, so you'll have to come with me. You still owe me. Besides, it would be great for you to visit a European city! Don't you think?"
"..." He went to the door, fuming.
"Do it faster. Don't forget coats and jackets, it's kind of cold there."
~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm done," said Watanuki, with a sports back hanging on his shoulder.
"Great, so am I." Yuuko pointed two large suitcases on the floor.
"Um, aren't you exaggerating? It's only three days."
"I need all of this," she replied, defiant.
"If you say so... So, what time will be the flight?" Her smile widened.
"What are you talking about, we're not going on a plane."
"Huh?"
"I made a stronger portal, of course." He felt to the floor from the shock, while she opened a sliding door.
"NOT AGAIN!!"
~~~~~~~~~~
They got of the tunnel, and landed on a beautiful park on bloom. The sky was gray, but it wasn't raining.
"Are we there?" Watanuki panted.
"Yes, this is Holland Park. Pretty, huh?"
"Weird, this doesn't feel like England a lot. Some of this flowers look Japanese."
"They are. This is why I like this park. But we have work to do, so we'll have to move on."
"I agree, someone is getting too excited."
"Little squirrel! Come play with us!" Mokona waved at the animal, who was watching them from its tree, from the sorceress' handbag.
"Let's go to Notting Hill, there's where my customer lives. It's where the Julia Roberts movie was filmed, Watanuki."
"I sooo don't care." Kimihiro waved his hand, bored.
"Well guess what, you're taking my luggage with you."
"Pardon me?" he glared.
"Why do you think you came with us? I needed you to take care of my suitcases while walking on the street! Come on, let's go."
"You...! You lazy bum!!"
The squirrel hopped to a different branch, scared of Watanuki's voice.

ps - poor watanuki...will he get to meet Ruby Moon? Because I think s/he will also enjoy tormenting him. Now that I think of it,Watanuki & Suppi are similar in terms of colors (and that slanted eyes!). Dang Clamp.

Date: 2004-12-23 09:14 am (UTC)Actually, Nakuru will be out to get Watanuki XD As his powers are Touyaish, she will be glomping him a lot.
Black hair and blue eyes... how didn't I notice that?! But then again, in some illustrations, Kimihiro's eyes look violet.
