Anime: Magic Knight Rayearth
Couples: Hikaru x Lantis , Umi x Clef, and Fuu x Ferio
Disclaimer: I do not own the anime.
It's been two years since serenity was restored in Cephiro. Two years since the legendary Magic Knight risked their lives and returned to their own world. There isn't a person who would ever forget them or what they've done for the country of Cephiro and its people. However, there were three men who are longing to see the them once again. Well, to be more precised, they each have a particular knight they wanted to see once again.
FERIO's POV
Cephiro's melody has returned but the melody that I long to hear might never return. My feelings for her would always exist but it scares me that the time may come that I can no longer remember her gentle face or the flowery fragrance coming from her hair or worse, the voice that saved me from the darkness I was in.
Fuu ... how are you? how are you doing over there? Are you still the same old Fuu, timid and shy? ... Have you fallen in love with someone from your own world?
The thought of that last question squeezed my heart painfully. I couldn't fathom the idea of her being with another man. It was selfish I know; she deserves to be happy but I can't stop myself. Just imagining her smiling for some guy I don't know is enough to stop myself from breathing.
I know how much my sister had suffered because of a forbidden love - love that was the cause of this country's misery and her death. And I never imagined myself to be in the same predicament as her. I suddenly remembered Lantis and smirked. Maybe that was the reason why we became good friends after the war; because we received the same fate as our older sibling - we fell hopelessly and deeply in love with someone we weren't suppose to. I knew Lantis was still in love with Hikaru but he's doing a much better job in acting normal than me. Everyday is a struggle for my part. Maybe because she was the Wind maiden and wherever I go, the wind is there - like a shadow that follows me. I knew that the sooner I accept the fact that I can no longer see her, the sooner I would be free of this misery. But somehow, I don't want to be. I don't want to accept it. I'm that selfish and madly in love.
Because I know that even if Cephiro was once again a paradise, the only vision I needed to see to be happy was the gentle smile of Knight that controls the wind.
"Fuu.." I uttered.
