Rewatched xxxholic recently and wanted to draw watanuki. In the original picture domeki would have been sitting next to him but that would have taken way too much time. Anyways this already took 27 hours.

Haruka had met many non human beings in the past few decades. Long before he took his father's place as a chief priest, he had dealt with them, for good and bad causes. But, nothing compared to this exceptional, alluring woman whom they called as the Dimensional Witch. Later, when they met for the first time, she told him her assumed name: Ichihara Yuuko.

"There were news came across my place." They moved to the storehouse where Haruka shelved his manuscripts. "You traveled crossing dimensions again, the first since the last time you told me."

"I had to interfere something." Yuuko let him lighting her kiseru. "If I were late for just one second, you would've witnessed the end of the universe."

"Glad you're back safe and sound." He couldn't imagine the scale of the affair she needed to deal. "Also, I heard you didn't come alone."

The red-eyed woman hummed, then blowing the smoke slowly until it filled the room. He'd known her well to wait or he'd lose the answer.

"There's a guest in my shop," she said, confirming the rumor. "He won't, or can't, stay too long. I need to make preparation so he can travel safely once he leaves my place."

One of his eyebrows raised. "And that's why you asked to see me."

"I also want to collect the payment from your last request."

Haruka nodded, then sliding to reach his table. "What kind of payment it is?"

"I need you to make me talisman."

"Aren't you capable to make those?"

"I am." Her eyes glanced to shelf in front of them. "However, for this occasion, the talisman must be from someone who possess purifying power in order to give the strongest protection. You are the one who can grant this request."

There was tension in her voice; the urge he couldn't deny. "Your guest must be in danger."

"He is." There was a glimpse of sadness flashing in her eyes. "The best thing I can do is to shield him somewhere, far enough from my reach. The talisman will keep him safe for a while."

His curiosity grew. The questions overflowed his mind. But, Haruka knew Yuuko would require payment if he started asking. The witch was bound to rules he had to respect.

"You can collect the talisman in two days." He wrote something in his journal. "Any specific thing do you want to add?"

"Make sure it's strong enough to prevent spirits entering room. He easily gets overwhelmed when they're around him." She fixed her sleeve. "A small apartment unit, if you need a scale."

"Noted." This type of person she has to protect... "A spirit seer, I assume. Your guest."

She chuckled. "Oh, I thought you're sick because you aren't as nosy as usual, Haruka-san."

"One careless move and I have to take out the best sake for a price."

"Come ooon!" She poked his shoulder. "How many confidential things I've traded with only liquor? Aren't I kind enough for you?"

Recalling their past transactions, Haruka could only sigh. It was true Yuuko was generous when it came to him. She fancied his homemade sake the most.

And to be honest, he couldn't resist the temptation.

"We just stored a new stash for the upcoming festivals." As he said that, her eyes glimmering. "If I can give one or two bottles, I'm expecting you to share something as important as the one I got from the last request."

"It is! You'll be delighted, Chief Priest Doumeki." Her lips curved a mischievous smile. "Because it is related to your beloved grandson."

“I don’t have powers anymore. Remember? Wish granted, the end.” “Are you sure?” Haruka asks blandly. “Am I sure I’m not being chase by malicious spirits anymore?” Watanuki asks sarcastically. “I’d think I would know the difference.”
