A/N: Taking a break from long epic stories like my other fics. I'm just going to write a short one-shot. (The prologue to A Clef and Umi Love Story) It's so tiring nowadays and my brain feels like mush and I went through all 31 pages of Rayearth fanfiction and decided that there isn't enough Umi/Clef fics these days. I want to shout out to some really good authors.

#1: Umi-chan- If you're a die-hard Umi and Clef fan, you really should read some of her fics. I suggest Searching for Inspiration. It inspired me to start writing fanfiction.

#2: Ragyn (A/N: Did I spell it right?) - (sniff I really love her fics too! They're so creative. I would suggest Eyes on Me. But it's sad that she (or he?) hasn't updated in a while.

#3:Drkdemon -well not all her fics are Rayearth but her story: In My Mind, I Subconsciously Dream of You is a really great fic!

#4: Heart, -she isn't exactly all Umi and Clef but her story Sefiro High is great! I just wish the ending was a little better.

#5:Lady Umi- Her story Magic Knight Rayearth III is okay but other than that I don't know much about her.

#6 Kiyoshi-chan- thanks so much for reviewing my fics! I really appreciate your suggestions and encouragement!

A/N: Urkk!! I need to start my fic now! (No favoritism above, I appreciate each and every review! You guys are soo nice!!(Sniff))

Cry to the Night Wind.

4 years had passed now in Cephiro huh? Umi thought. Watching her ½ year old daughter sleep in the crib, she smiled and brushed her daughter's cheek. Getting up, she opened a door to the back garden and sat on a swinging chair. Holding onto the chains she leaned back slightly and looked at the moon.

' How beautiful and yet so sad.' It reminded her of everything that she had lost. Those eyes that looked at her. Father and daughter: One held wisdom and one held innocence both hurt her.'standing up even with the wind blowing hard at her back she walked around, reminiscing of all the times long gone and the times that were now.

The first day she saw her daughter, the first day she walked and the first thing she said.

The first time they met, the first time they kissed and the first time they joined (I think you know what THAT means)

All so long ago. Turning back to walk in, Umi whispered "Clef." Let my words be carried to you in the wind.

Clef got up, oblivious to everyone's stares pushed away his food." I'm not hungry." He muttered.

Walking out, he thought of his blue haired angel. Why had she flown away?' Looking at Lantis and Hikaru, Fuu and Ferio. He thought sadly, 'Sometimes I feel so jealous of them.' Will Umi ever return?' Looking out a window he heard a voice he had longed to hear for awhile. "Clef."

Time will only tell..
