This is my first fanfic ever. Even so, flames are also appreciated. Thanks. Oh, and I forgot to mention this is purely based on anime and everyone knows that Mokona is the Creator. Clef in his Ova form and the magic knights' armor are new. Do you know of the picture in where the girls are wearing armor with ribbons tied to their swords? And they have pendants of the moon on Umi, sun on Hikaru and star for Fuu? Well, anyway that's what they're wearing Kay? This is mostly Clemi, srry Asmi fans! Now Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own MKR. If I did, I would create season 3.

Chapter 1: Welcome Back

"It is getting stronger." A tall lavender-haired man stated. His robes were the color black with dark blue lining. He was holding a staff as tall as he was. His robes and staff are incrested with dark blue gems. His azure eyes were looking out a window with a worried look on his face.

"Clef, we must do something! This dark force is getting stronger each day. So strong that even people without magic can feel it! They think that another war is nearing!" a man with green hair shouted. His robes were white with orange lining. He is wearing a white cape. His hair was tied in a pony tail. He has a scar across his nose and an x-shaped scar on his cheek.

"Prince Ferio, please calm down! I know that you are worried but, you must stay calm. Nothing can be solved if you, our prince, is panicking." A blonde haired soldier wearing blue armor calmly said.

"I agree with Lafarga. Rather than panicking we must look for the cause of this dark force immediately and take care of it." A tall black haired swordsman said. He was wearing armor the same color of his hair.

Clef nodded. "I will leave finding out the cause to you, Lantis. As for the solution, should I call them, your highness?" Clef asked looking at the Prince. It did not have to be said who he was referring to. Lantis and Ferio immediately looked down to the floor. After a few moments of silence, Ferio looked up to Clef and said, "Summon them, Clef. Summon the magic knights."

"Winner, Shidou Hikaru!" and the crowd cheered. One of the kendo fighters stood up and took off their face mask, revealing overflowing red hair. The other fighter then stood up and both of them shook each other hands.

"You were amazing, Shidou! You're just as good as the rumors say. Or, maybe better!"

"Thanks! You weren't bad yourself." beamed the red-haired girl. She opened her eyes revealing her fiery ruby eyes. The fighter then bowed and waved goodbye. "Hikaru!" yelled somewhere in the crowd. Hikaru turned and saw her brothers Masaru, Satoru and Kakeru.

"Guys! How was it?" asked Hikaru running towards her brothers. "How was it? It was amazing! And because of that, now you are officially Japan's no.1 female kendo master!"Exclaimed Satoru. "Imagine that. Having the strongest female kendo master in Japan as our sister." Masaru said. "But then again, who would have thought? Hikaru was always small." Teased Kakeru.

"Kakeru-onii-chan, I am not that small! I have grown, you know!" pouted Hikaru. Looking at her face, Hikaru's brothers laughed. Seeing them laugh, made Hikaru smile. I am so happy. I hope Umi-chan and Fuu-chan are happy as well. Hikaru's hand went to her chest. She could feel the circular bulge of her pendant. She closed her eyes and let her mind wander to a certain tall, black-haired swordsman. "Hikaru? Hikaru!" shouted Satoru. Hikaru's eyes immediately opened. "Huh, what?" asked Hikaru.

"Hikaru, you're spacing out again." Masaru answered. "Oh, sorry!" apologized Hikaru. Just then, the 4 siblings heard Hikaru being called out to stage to receive her award. "Guess its show time! See you, guys!" With that, Hikaru ran off. While she was running, her mind went back to her pendant. Lantis…..Are you still thinking about me as I do you?

"Delicious! This is the most delicious cake I have ever tasted! That's it, I announce, Ryuuzaki Umi, winner of this cooking competition!" shouted a short man with a sash with 'JUDGE' in big red letters. He had a piece of chocolate cake on one of his hands. He had chocolate smudges on one side of his mouth. Right after he shouted, he went back to his eating.

"Yes, I won!" screamed by a girl with long, straight, blue hair. As she jumped up and down, her hair followed suit. Her hair was like a flowing river at this motion. When she opened her blue eyes, she saw her parents running towards her. "Mom, Dad!" Umi shouted as she embraced her mother. "Oh, Umi. I knew that you were going to win! I just knew it!" her Mom said. "Umi, are we ever proud of you! Just a few months back, you won the fencing national tournament! And now, you won the Regional Cooking Competition!" her dad said while hugging his talented daughter. "Thanks, Mom, Dad!" Umi said.

I am so lucky to have such wonderful parents. I wonder how Hikaru and Fuu are doing. As she thought of her 2 best friends, her mind wandered to her 2nd home. I hope they're all doing fine. Especially…

"Umi? Is there something wrong?" her mother asked. When Umi saw her mother's face, she felt angry again at herself for making her worry. She always feels angry at herself whenever she makes someone she loves worry. She calls this feeling 'The Feeling'. "Don't worry, mom. I'm just so happy that I won. That's all." Umi said trying to reassure her mother. "Alright. But, don't over work yourself, Umi. I'll worry about you." Her mother's words ached Umi's heart.

"Okay, mom." Umi tried to smile as best as she can. But, her mind always goes back to 1 person. I should have told you how I felt before I left….. If I did, this feeling of regret wouldn't be here…..Clef….

"And, she left. Her heart heavy with the feeling of never being able to see the love of her life. But, she wouldn't cry. She held strong for she knew that, one day, she'll see him again. That hope maybe false but, it is the only thing that keeps her living. The End."

As she finished reading, her emerald green eyes opened. Her short blond curls following her head as she looked up. She looked through her glasses and saw her audience in tears. She bowed and went back to her seat. A man then went up to the podium and spoke through the microphone. He managed to speak without sobbing. "I think that the winner of this story writing competition is quite obvious. Hououji Fuu!" With that said everyone started clapping and the said girl then stood up and said her thanks.

Outside of the auditorium, Fuu's sister, Kuu went up to her sister and embraced her in a tight hug. "Congratulations, Fuu! You totally deserved it! Your story was so sad that everyone in the auditorium was crying! It was that heart-wrenching!" Kuu said. Tears evident in her face. "Thank you, Kuu." Smiled Fuu. She is so emotional. But, I still love her anyway. Just like I love Hikaru and Umi. And I also love….

"But, couldn't you have given it a happy ending? The heroine and the prince were so in love. It is wrong to keep them apart. They should be together!" Kuu whined. "Eh? A happy ending?" Fuu questioned. "That's right! Prince Eric and Gwen should be together!" Kuu repeated. When Kuu said that, Fuu's mind travelled to her prince.

"But, you know, if they did get together, I think it will be too anti-climatic. Still, I want them together. What do you think, Fuu?" Kuu realized that Fuu wasn't really listening and was spacing out. "Fuu? FUU!" Kuu shouted. When Fuu heard her name being called, her mind was snapped back to reality. "Fuu is something the matter?" asked Kuu. "Nope, nothing at all. I was just thinking of your suggestion. That's all." Fuu smiled. "Okay" Then, the sisters went to look for their parents. My prince….How long can I keep on saying that? When will I be able to let go? I even wrote a story about our love. I even kept the egg-shaped communicator. I even still sometimes talk to it. When will I be able to forget you? Ferio…..

* ^Next Week^*

"Hikari, wait!" Hikaru shouted after her dog. Hikaru and Hikari were taking a stroll until Hikari started running off. Hikaru tried to catch him but, he was too fast. "Please, Hikari, stop!" Hikaru shouted again. Why isn't he listening to me? He usually listens to me. So, why? "Hikari, STOP!" Hikaru shouted as loud as she can. People stared at her.

At the sound of Hikaru's voice, Hikari stopped. When Hikari stopped, Hikaru used her last ounce of strength to catch her dog, afraid of it running away again. "Thank god, you finally stopped! But, Hikari why were you running?" Hikaru said. Hikari raised his nose and pointed in front of them. Hikaru widened her eyes and saw a tall red building shaped like the Eiffel tower. "Tokyo Tower…Hikari, why did you bring me here?" Hikaru looked at her dog. Hikari answered in a bark. He turned his nose to the right and Hikaru looked to the direction he was pointing. She saw a tall, blue haired girl walking alongside a short haired blonde. They were talking. Hikaru immediately recognized them.

"Umi-chan! Fuu-chan!" Hikaru shouted, running towards the 2 girls. The girls turned and saw a small, red haired girl running towards them. They saw a dog following closely behind. They both shouted, "Hikaru!" The 3 friends hugged each other saying their 'I miss you' and 'how have you been'. They then talked about their recent wins. They were so busy with each other that they didn't notice Hikari running towards the entrance of the Tower. "Hikari!" Hikaru shouted when she heard her dog barking from inside the Tower. The 3 girls then ran towards the dog, which was running again towards the elevator. The girls managed to reach the elevator Hikari was in. Once they were in, their hands were in their knees and they were panting heavily.

"Hikari…why…do you….keep on…running away?" Hikaru said in between her breaths. "First, you led me to the tower and then you…" Hikaru could not complete her sentence as she was too tired. "Hikaru, what do you mean, Hikari led you to the tower?" Umi said, not as tired as the other 2 as she was used to running being in fencing and all.

"We were taking a walk when suddenly he started running! I ran after him, of course and when he stopped, we were in front of Tokyo Tower." Hikaru said after catching her breath. "Now that I think about it, why are you two here anyway?"

"We just happened to bump to each other and we started talking. And before we realized it, you were running towards us and we were here." Fuu said leaning against the wall of the elevator. Right after she said that, the door opened. They walked out of the elevator and saw that they were in the observation deck where they first met. The place where their adventures in Cephiro started.

"This place brings so many memories." Hikaru said. She remembered the day that they first arrived in Cephiro, her first spell, the feeling of being in her deity, Rayearth.

"I can't believe it's been 3 years. We're already in our senior year. Just a few more weeks and we're going to graduate." Umi said. Her mind was also remembering their days in Cephiro. The time she got her sword, the first she met her friends and of course, Selece and their ocean.

"Time goes by so fast. It seems that just yesterday we were risking our lives saving Cephiro and now, we're graduating!" Fuu smiled. She remembered the floating mountain where her deity's shrine was, Presea's death and her revival, the palace and her deity, Windam.

As they were reminiscing about Cephiro, they didn't notice that the floor was disappearing and that they were falling along with Hikari. When they opened their eyes and realized they were falling. They screamed from the top of their lungs."AAAAHHHHHH!"

Just then, a huge flying fish came and saved them. They immediately realized the huge fish from when they first arrived in Cephiro. "Fyula!" the girls shouted and hugged the fish. "Wait a second, if Fyula is here, then…." Hikaru started. She didn't have to finish as the other girls already know what she was about to say. "CEPHIRO!" Umi and Fuu shouted.

"We're back….." Hikaru said, tears forming in the corner of her eyes.

Fyula went down to the castle in the gardens. Hikaru, Umi and Fuu went down. Hikaru helped Hikari go down Fyula. "It was really nice seeing you again, Fyula." Hikaru said while caressing the fish. It let out a small noise as if saying that it was also nice seeing you again. With that, Fyula disappeared.

Hikaru looked around the palace garden. It was enormous. It was filled with flowers in different colors. Some, the girls have never seen before. There were many trees in the side. There was also a fountain with a dragon on top spouting water. The pathways were a cross with the fountain in the middle. The flowers are in the middle of the arms of the cross. The trees were forming the circular border of the garden. It was a beautiful sight.

"We better go inside. I cannot wait to see everyone again!" Fuu said while pointing to one of the doors leading to a hall.

When they went in, the halls were wide and spacious. The floor and walls were marble and it glistened with the sunlight falling on it. The girls and dog headed to the throne room with hopes that everyone might be there. When they arrived outside of the door, each of the girls palms were sweating. None of the 3 girls would dare open the door.

They stood like that for a few seconds until Hikari, noticing their hesitation to go in, burst in to the room. The door immediately closed behind him. The girls stood surprised. Then, they heard screaming from the other side of the room. They put their ears on the door and listened. They could faintly make out Primera's voice.

"AAAHHH! Why is this thing following me? Help me, Lantis!" Eh, Lantis? Does that mean that he's inside? Hikaru's heart raced at the thought.

"Ascot, command it to stop!" an authorative voice said. The girls didn't recognize it at first. But then someone shouted, "It won't listen to me, Clef! I can't command it!" That voice was clearly Ascot's. Then, the voice they heard before was…. Clef! What's wrong with his voice? Umi wondered.

"Do something, Clef! This thing is eating my cape!" Fuu blushed at that voice. I'll never forget that voice! Ferio!

"Then, there's only one thing that we can do! Everyone, attack it!" Clef demanded. The girls could hear swords being sheathed from their scabbards. Hikaru then got worried. Attack? Hikari!

Hikaru then opened the door and hugged Hikari protectively. "What do you think you're doing to my Hikari?" Hikaru shouted. At the sight of the Magic Knight of Fire, everyone lowered their swords. Lantis's eyes were as wide as dinner plates. Everyone stood like that for a while. Umi and Fuu stepped in the room. Everyone's eyes then, fell upon them. Another awkward silence again. Until, Caldina had enough of the silence and practically ran over Umi in a tight hug.

"UMI! I can't believe you're really here! I missed you so much, you know!"

"Caldina! Can't…breathe…."

"Oops, sorry Hun'" apologized the pink haired Chizetan. As soon as she let go, Umi hugged Caldina gently. "I missed you too, Caldina."

"Hikaru!"

When Hikaru turned, she saw Presea running towards her and hugging her. "I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too, Presea! You haven't changed at all!" Hikaru said after they pulled away. (AN: They still don't know that Presea is Sierra. Only Clef knows.)

"Fuu!"

"Ferio!" And the 2 lost lovers then, pulled each other in a tight hug, happy to be near each other again.

"Umi!" Umi turns to see a brown haired boy with bangs covering his emerald eyes. He was wearing a huge hat. "Ascot!"

Umi hugged Ascot and told him how she missed him. Surprised by the hug and her words, Ascot blushed furiously. He wished that this moment would last forever but, it ended as quickly as he wished as Umi saw a blond soldier just behind Ascot. "Lafarga!"

"Magic Knight." He said casually and bowed. "You don't have to call me like that, Lafarga! Umi's just fine!" Umi laughed. Umi then heard a loud scream that made her cover her ears in fright of being deaf. "LANTIS!" Hikaru practically threw herself on Lantis's arms.

"Hikaru."

"Lantis…I missed you so much…." Hikaru sobbed on Lantis's chest. Lantis smiled and stroked Hikaru's head. The 2 enjoyed their reunion ignoring Primera's demands for them to let go. Umi smiled at them, then to Fuu and Ferio who were still embracing each other. I am so happy for Hikaru and Fuu. They have been missing Lantis and Ferio with all their heart. I wish I could be that intimate with... Her thoughts were interrupted when someone called her.

"Umi." Umi turned away from the happy couples and saw a lavender-haired man with black robes and a staff as tall as him. Umi didn't recognize him at first but when she saw his azure eyes; she immediately knew who he was. "Clef!" she ran to him and hugged him with so much force that he took a step back. When Umi realized that she was hugging the master mage too tightly, she quickly pulled back and blushed. "I...I….I'm sorry!" Umi stammered trying to hide her blushing face using her bangs. Unfortunately, Clef noticed her change in color and laughed. "Don't worry. I missed you too, Umi" When Umi saw his smile; she couldn't help but smile along. She didn't realize that someone was watching her with sad eyes.

After the warm welcome, everyone asked what the strange creature was. The girls couldn't help but laugh at how everyone was staring at Hikari suspiciously with their hands on their swords and staffs. Hikaru explained that Hikari was a dog and it was her pet. Lantis asked as to why she has such a dangerous pet. Hikaru laughed. She putted Lantis's hand on Hikari's head saying that he is harmless and that Hikari protects her. Lantis relaxed a little.

Just then, Caldina had an idea. "Hey, why don't we have a ball to celebrate your return?"

"A ball? That sounds fun!" Hikaru said. Hikari barked. "Hikari's excited also!" Everyone agreed.

"Eh? But…" Clef protested but was cut off by Ferio's glare. Lantis, Lafarga and Clef were surprised. The carefree prince never glared at anyone like that before.

"Ferio? Is something wrong?" Fuu asked noticing the hate in Ferio's eyes and the surprised looks on Lantis, Lafarga and Clef.

"Nothing is wrong, Fuu. Now, come. We must prepare for the ball." He smiled. The hate vanishing from his eyes replaced by an emotion Fuu have never seen before. "If you say so." Fuu smiled. But, somewhere in her mind she knew something was wrong.

"WHY DID YOU ALLOW A BALL AT A TIME LIKE THIS?" a voice roared from Clef's study.

"Guru, please calm down…" Lafarga said to no avail.

"Have you forgotten the reason I summoned them?" Clef said, his voice threatening to shout again.

"No, I have not forgotten, Clef. I only allowed it because they have just returned from an absence of 3 years. They missed everyone here and so have they missed them." Ferio closed his eyes and sighed. "I just thought that they wouldn't feel so happy to find out that right after their reunion, they would have to fight again."

"I understand that, Prince. But still…" Clef started.

"Please, Clef. Everyone has already agreed not to tell them anything. Just until after the ball. Besides," he opened his eyes and smirked. "The aura has gotten weaker. I can hardly feel it anymore. Can you?"

Clef had nothing to say at that. It is true that the aura had gotten weaker. Even he, the master mage of Cephiro can hardly feel it. He sighed. "Alright, I will not tell anything."

Ferio smiled and opened his mouth to say something but, was cut off by Clef. "Only, until after the ball. Afterwards, I will personally and immediately tell them everything." Clef turned to leave and was about to open the door when Ferio thanked him. Clef didn't say anything and left.

Lafarga sighed, "Well, we better go and get ready. I just can't believe how the girls managed to put this ball together so fast!"

Lantis nodded and both men left to get ready.

Guess I better go and get ready as well! Ferio thought. None of them could sense that someone was watching them.

"So, they are having a ball, eh?" said a mysterious voice flipping her pink hair out of her red eyes.

"Without inviting us? How rude!" a laughing voice said. Her dark blue hair swaying in the wind.

"Guess we better teach them a lesson." a calm voice said. Her emerald eyes fixed on the castle of Cephiro.

The other 2 nodded. The one with pink hair added quietly,"We'll be together soon, Hikaru..."

Well, that's it for chapter 1! Hope you enjoyed it! Sorry if I made some mistakes. This is my first fanfic. Anyway, thanks for reading!
