Prompt: [livejournal.com profile] comment_fic: xxxHolic, Clow/Yuuko, Clow's alive, and he wants to be Watanuki’s father figure! Yuuko is not amused. Gratuitous use of the jokes involving marriage, divorce and 'call me papa' are encouraged.

Prompt: n/a
Pairing: Clow/Yuuko; slight Yue/Clow implied (#2)

Pairing: slight Clow/Yuuko
Other: As a reminder, the Hyakki Yako was the demon parade that Doumeki and Watanuki went to in volume 6 (ch61). Akari the cat-demon seemed to know Yuuko very well-- I'd be surprised if the witch hadn't been to one before, at least once.

Excerpt: "I owe you many debts," Clow answered easily, his hands tracing over the hozuki, "but you don't have many friends, do you, Yuuko-chan?"
