A Christmas Love story
Disclaimer: I don't own the Rayearth characters. So sad, so sad.
Summary: The knights know each other but aren't the knights. Confusing yes I know. The knights live with each other and one other girl. They all met at work one day, but Hikaru and Fuu still work together, Umi works at a bar as a bartender and the roommate is the assistant manager for her office building.
Ch. 1 Just the Beginning
"Kinta! Where'd you go?" Umi said looking around the crowded ballroom of the hotel the office Christmas party was at.
"Sorry Umi!" A woman with dark purple hair and amethyst eyes said running up to Umi.
"Where'd you go?"
"The bar."
"Oh, is the bartender any good?"
"Not as good as you." Kinta said with a catty grin.
"Quit sucking up to me Kinta, the least you could do is introduce me to some of your friends." Umi said teasing Kinta.
"Right. Let's see," Kinta said looking around. "Jenny, come here!" A woman with her brown hair pulled up into an elegant bun wearing a black dress walked over with a martini in her hand.
"Hi Kinta. Hello Umi." Jenny said smiling at the two.
"How do you know my name?"
"Kinta put a picture of you two and Hikaru and Fuu on her desk two days ago."
"Oh, that picture. If you excuse me I'm going to go get a drink." Umi said leaving. When Umi went to the bar, the bartender was swamped. At a lull in the drinkers, she walked up to her.
"Hey, hold on a second suga' I'm out of ice." She said her bright pink hair in her face.
"Its okay, I don't want a drink, think I can help you a bit when the next rush comes?" Umi asked.
"Sure, come on over." The pink haired woman said.
"My names Umi."
"You can call me Caldina." The bartender said looking for a shot glass. A customer walked up to the bar and ordered a martini.
"Would you like that, dry, on the rocks, crushed rocks, or no rocks at all?" Umi said twirling the martini glass.
"Um, on the rocks." He said. Umi could hardly see his jade eyes through his brown bangs. Caldina walked up and squealed which scared Umi.
"Hi Ascot! I didn't know you were coming." Caldina said to the customer.
"Hi Caldina, you got a new co-worker?" Ascot asked looking at Umi and blushing slightly.
"Nope, she's just helping me out. How have ya been?"
"F-fine." Ascot stuttered when he and Umi brushed hands when she handed him the martini glass.
"Well, go enjoy yourself Ascot, I'll call you tomorrow, or take ya home if you're drunk"
"Bye Caldina, B-bye Miss."
"Buh-bye Ascot." Umi said giving him a warm smile. Caldina started giggling when she looked at Umi who was blushing slightly.
"What was that Umi, are ya flirting with the customers now?" Caldina said between giggles.
"N-no! I- don't flirt with customers." Umi said blushing more.
"Why don't you go find him and ask him for a dance, I'll be alright?"
"Are you sure Caldina?"
"Definitely."
"Bye."
"I'll see ya later Umi." Caldina said waving. Umi walked away to find Ascot when Kinta stopped her looking at her in awe.
"I can't believe it Umi! You had a conversation with the hottest guy in the office. I am so jealous." Kinta said grinning at a blushing Umi.
"Kinta, don't you have a boyfriend that works with you?" Umi said looking for Geo.
"Yeah so? It's not like he doesn't check out other girls, so I don't give damn and neither does he." Kinta said Matter-of-factly.
"Kinta, I'm going to go talk to him okay?" Umi said smiling at her innocence.
"Okay bye! I got to take this call!" Kinta said running off to a quiet part of the room. Umi walked around looking for Ascot declining offers from guys wanting to dance.
"Ascot!" Umi said finding him with five other guys.
"H-hi." Ascot said blushing.
"Hello Miss, I am Eagle Vision." A man with silver hair said stepping in front of Ascot taking Umi's hand.
"Hello Eagle, I'm Umi Ryuuzaki, and no I don't want to dance with you." Umi said looking at Eagle.
"Damn, how'd you know?"
"Simple, you look like the kind of guy who does a one night stand." Umi said looking into Eagle's grey eyes smirking.
"You're good." A lavender haired man said taking Umi's hand and shaking it.
"Thank you and you are?"
"Clef, CEO of this company."
"Umi, here with a friend because I'd be home alone since the other two are on a business trip." Umi said looking a little bit sad.
"I'm Lantis." A man with Amethyst eyes and wearing all black (which matches his black hair)
"Hi, I know you! Hikaru ran into you one day when you were shopping at the mall with some girl." Umi said shaking Lantis' hand.
"Hi Umi." Geo said giving Umi a hug.
"Your girlfriend Geo?" Eagle said with a worried look but Umi and Geo just laughed.
"No, she's one of my girlfriend's roommates." Geo said looking at Eagle.
"Hey there, I'm Ferio, V.P of the firm." A man with forest green hair and golden eyes said smiling at Umi.
"I'm A-Ascot." Ascot said blushing and not looking at Umi.
"Hi Ascot, I met you at the bar a few minutes ago. AAH! KINTA!" Umi said when Kinta pushed her into Ascot.
"Sorry Umi, Karu and Fuu just called, they'll be home in two hours. The trip ended early." Kinta said mischievously. Umi looked up at Ascot who blushed along with her. Everyone around them snickered when they saw Ascot and Umi under the mistletoe.
"What's so funny? Oh, I see." Umi blushed even redder as she gave Ascot a peck on the cheeks and dragged him away to another part of the room.
"S-so U-Umi, do y-y-you want to dance?" Ascot said being dragged by Umi.
"I'd love to." Umi said wrapping her arms around Ascot's neck. Caldina looked and saw them dancing, she smiled to herself.
'Way to go Ascot, you might have a girlfriend. I hope she doesn't break your heart.' Caldina thought looking at Umi and Ascot.
*The House*
"Hikaru, Umi just called, she said she was going out with a friend and not to worry." Fuu said walking into Hikaru's room.
"Then we have to worry. What about Kinta?" Hikaru asked sitting next to Fuu.
"Kinta's going home with Geo. According to Kinta, Umi's got herself a new boyfriend and so Kinta's hatching a plan. And Umi ran into Lantis." Fuu said grinning at Hikaru.
"She did?" Hikaru said wide-eyed.
"Hikaru I'm getting tired let's ask Umi about this guy tomorrow." Fuu said yawning.
"Okay. Good night Fuu-chan."
"Night Hikaru." Fuu said leaving Hikaru's room.
**The Christmas Party**
"Umi! Have you seen Ascot?" Caldina said with a worried look on her face.
"He's in the bathroom why?"
"My daughters in the hospital."
"What happened?"
"She broke her arm. Can you tell him I won't be able to drop him off at his house?"
"Yeah, he can stay at my house tonight. We have an extra room."
"Thanks so much Umi, I'll get the number from LaFarga, he works with Fuu and Hikaru, and so I'll be seeing ya later."
"Bye Caldina."
"I got to go Umi; Caldina's supposed to take me home." Ascot said reappearing.
"She's going to the hospital, her daughter broke her arm."
"How am I going to get home?"
"You aren't going home, you're coming with me."
"What about Kinta?"
"She's staying with Geo; let's go home, Hikaru and Fuu are probably there, I want you to meet them." Umi said dragging Ascot out of the hotel to her car.
Me: That's just one X-Mas love story. Well, at least one chapter, next chapter, Fuu and Ferio.
