Excerpt: "Ah, fate makes fools of us all," Clow said easily. "He will be born, so he is here."
"Perhaps another cup is in order," Haruka said quietly. Yuuko frowned at him.
"What are you doing drinking? You're not even supposed to have been born yet."
"Ah, fate makes fools of us all," Clow said easily. "He will be born, so he is here."
"With that logic, I might as well pull Watanuki's soul to pour drinks," she said.
"Ah, but not yet for that one. It's too complicated," Haruka said, sipping what remained of his drink. He lit a cigarette and the three of them watched the smoke curl up into the darkening sky.
"So is this a dream?" Yuuko asked, oddly hesitant. She looked at Clow. He was the one with the expertise for dreams. She just did something about them.
"Yes, no, maybe." He laughed deep in his throat, the way Yue laughed. "You'll see if you have a hangover in the morning, I suppose."
"I've heard there is a great cure for those," Haruka offered, taking a moment to breathe in the thick smoke.
"It is not a good idea to interfere when you haven't been born yet, still," Yuuko insisted. Clow pulled a pipe from under his cloak and packed in the tobacco. Haruka gave him a light and the two tendrils of smoke climbed together into the sky. Yuuko watched them, trying to see the future in the twining, but she couldn't. Clow claimed he could, but Clow claimed a lot of things. She wasn't sure about him yet, even though he already inhabited her dreams more nights than not. There were little pork buns with smiling faces in their future-- oh how he'd already twined his fate around hers-- and she wasn't sure she was ready to be that sort of mother, to birth something so important into the world. Still, she couldn't bring herself to leave. Perhaps it was that old mother, hitsuzen.
"Give me a light, you strange priest," she said, trying to be confident, to pretend that she spent every evening dipping into the future and the past to have a smoke with a man not yet born and one slated to die very soon. Maybe she'd get the hang of this thing eventually.
Haruka obliged and they sat there looking out at strange stars, three lights like fireflies in the dark.
