A/N or Summary: Eriol tried to leave his former incarnate's girlfriend alone, but she called him.

Eriol repressed those memories on purpose. At first they had come to him in waves of skin and sex and smoke, but he pushed them away.

Clow had loved her, he knew, and that was why he never went to visit her shop. She knew he was alive, in one form or another. That was enough for the dimension witch.

It should have been, but one day she called him offering to sell him the Clow Wand (a toy version, of course), and implying lewd things he could do with it.

He pushed the memories away, sighed, and hung up.

A/N or Summary: Yuuko was the queen of denial.

Yuuko would never say that she drank sake because Clow hated it. She never said that she smoked because he thought it a filthy habit, or that Clow disliked those particular shades of pink and blue.

She surrounded herself with these things, feeling the smoke roughen her lungs with each drag, and refused to admit that she missed him, that he was dead and she couldn't stand it.

"The stupid magician," she said often, moving into the storeroom and running her hand down a pink toy wand.

She would have denied it, had anyone asked, but she still loved him.
