100_women's #1- Beginnings. Set before season 4 of Doctor Who
Yuuko has met Rose Tyler more than once.
She's met her in many different timelines, dimensions, always with a different wish. She's seen a six year old Rose, with tears streaming down her face, begging for her mother back. Seventeen and pregnant, wishing that she hadn't left with Jimmy Stone. Just turned thirty and wanting to forget the Doctor, so she could finally get over him and start living again.
This Rose, though, she likes best. This Rose knows exactly who she is, what she needs to do. This is a Rose willing to pay the price, no matter the cost.
"I need a way to cross dimensions. I need to find him- because I can't wish to stop this because you can't or won't get involved- and he has to stop this. We have to," she says, pacing the length of the floor.
Watanuki glances between both of them, but Rose doesn't pay him any attention, and Yuuko just watches Rose. "There's a price," she says finally.
Rose laughs, and rubs her forehead, looking resigned. "Yeah, isn't there always."
Yuuko sighs- there's a part of her that hates this part more than anything, but it's necessary. Rose is one of her few customers that understands that. "Go back home. What you need is there."
"And your price?" Rose asks, her surprise clear in her voice.
"You will know it, in the end. You cannot give it to me now," Yukko explains.
Rose nods. "Thank you, then."
She leaves as quietly as she came in, her steps light but determined.
"Who is she looking for?" Watanuki asks, once the door closes shut.
Yuuko doesn't answer him- she just smiles. He looks like he wants to push the question, but he wilts, shaking his head, and begins his walk into the kitchen.
"I want sake!" she yells. He starts shouting, ranting about her being an alcoholic, but Yuuko tunes him out with ease.
It's the last time she sees Rose Tyler.
