Okay, I've decided to write a fanfic about Magic Knight Rayearth! I know I haven't even finished my other stories, but I can multitask! This features all the couples, but mostly HL cuz they ARE SO CUTE! I don't own MKR, wish I did. Don't we all?
'Where am I?' a pair of red eyes usually filled with hope & cheerfulness now held confusion. The eyes dart around, looking at its surroundings; the trees with branches blowing the wind gently, the grass blowing towards the eyes & the clear blue lake to the left of the eyes.
'This can't be…' The eyes finally settled on a familiar object & began filling with tears.
"Lantis…?" a soft voice utters from the lips of a girl about 16. Her hair fluttered in the wind, loose from its usual style
The man identified as Lantis turned to her & smiled. The smile he held only for this specific girl. The heart of this girl filled with joy & happiness.
He didn't have to say anything, his eyes said it all. Two bare feet began running towards this man, a crimson dress fluttering at the ankles, tears falling from the eyes, down the pale cheeks of this girl & into the wind. "Lantis!" the voice grew louder as the tears flowed harder.
He held out his arms & the girl jumped into these arms. He held her close to him, soothing her to stop the tears. This girl looked up, eyes once filled with confusion filled with happiness, hope &…love.
She opened her mouth to say something, but one finger to her lips quieted her. He looked at her with his purple eyes soft as he looked down at this girl, wiping her tears away. Once again, he smiled the smile meant for her.
Getting to his knees, he produced a simple box. The girls tears began flowing again as her hair flew helplessly in the wind & the dress whipped around her legs.
This man opened his mouth to ask her a question she was dying to hear. "Hikaru…when did the Meiji period begin?"
The eyes once filled with love were once again filled with confusion. "What…?" she whispered, but everything began fading; the trees, the grass, the lake & finally the man.
Eyes widening with panic, the mouth opened to scream, but nothing came out. The girl watched as the man faded, tears gathering is his own eyes as well as hers.
"Miss Shidou!" a resonant voice screams.
A head of fire red hair jerked up & the same eyes from before spoke of sleepiness & sadness. "What?"
The woman in front of her sighed. "Miss Shidou, this is the 5th time you've dozed off this month. Are you getting enough sleep?"
The girl nodded her head, hair hitting her shoulders. "Yes, Miss Wang." The head bowed as the hair flowed forward. "I'm sorry."
The woman addressed as Miss Wang paused, then nodded. Turning back to the front, she called on another student to answer.
The girl watched her go & sighed. Closing her eyes, she tried to remember the face from her dream. Finally deciding it wasn't going to happen, she sighed again.
'It's been 3 years & I'm about to be a senior. I just wish to see him again. As long as I'm with him or he's with me, it doesn't matter where we are…' the red eyes began to tear again, but this time in sadness.
A pale hand moved upward to clutch a mirror pendant around her neck. 'This is all I have left…' She clutched it with dear life, tears flowing. She brought the mirror to her lips & kissed it softly. 'If only is was him instead of the mirror…'
Meanwhile, a girl with short blue hair & a black jacket on stared out the window. She wasn't paying attention to her teacher, nor did she want to. All she could think about was a bashful brown hair green-eyed summoner.
Smiling, she remember when she had told him how she felt, how red he got, but he eventually stuttered out his true feelings. She began playing with a ring around her right ring finger.
It was a simple ring, with a single blue sapphire in the middle, but to this girl, it meant more than all the money in the world.
In another classroom, a girl with long, curly blond hair had just finished her class work & was getting ready to finish a book she had started, but every time she looked at the pages, all she could see & think was a green-haired prince that had stolen her heart.
Finally realizing she wouldn't be able to read right then, she put her book down & laid her head down. She shut her eyes & dreamed about him, all the while playing with her earring. The other one was in the same place her heart was.
After School
"Bye guys!" the red haired girl waved to her departing friends. She let her arm fall & instantly clutched the mirror pendant from before, this time stopping the tears before they fell. It would do no good to meet her best friends with tears in her eyes.
Walking the short distance to a familiar cherry tree, she saw her two best friends, conversing with each other. "Fuu-chan! Umi-chan!" she shouted, waving. She began running to them, hair bouncing off her shoulders.
The two girls looked up & smiled at the red head's endless energy. "Hi, Hikaru." the blue-haired girl named Umi greeted.
"Miss Hikaru…" the blond-haired girl named Fuu bowed.
"Fuu-chan…" Hikaru started, sweat dropping. They've been best friends for 3 years & she still called them Miss Hikaru & Miss Umi.
"Yes, Miss Hikaru?" Fuu asked, straightening up.
Umi sweat dropped also. "Never mind, Fuu."
Hikaru, Fuu & Umi had all changed since they're last visit to Cephiro. Hikaru had grown taller, to about Fuu's original height & she had cut & layered her red hair so it barely touched her shoulders. Her red eyes still held the endless happiness, but something was hidden behind them; a kind of sadness & regret.
Fuu grew her blond hair to the middle of her back, letting it naturally curl & she had gotten laser eyes surgery so her shimmering green eyes were no longer hidden behind the glasses.
Umi had cut her hair into a bob & her blue eyes still held the wariness of new people & things, but something else was there; a type of happiness that hadn't been there before.
Since they all went to the same high school, they wore the same uniform; a short black pleated skirt with their respective colors; red, green & blue; trimming the ends. They wore a white button down t-shirt that was tucked into their skirts. On top, Umi wore her black jacket, but Fuu & Hikaru carried theirs. On their feet, they wore simple black shoes, but their respective colored socks.
"You know what today is?" Hikaru asked, backpack forgotten on the ground. Umi & Fuu watched their energetic friend, smiling.
"Why no, Miss Hikaru. What is today?" Fuu teased, but Hikaru thought she was serious & quieted down.
"You don't remember?" a soft voice came from the fiery girl.
Umi immediately jumped in. "She was joking, Hikaru. We all know what today is."
Hikaru's happiness came back. "Well, lets go!" She grabbed her friends hands & began pulling. Umi & Fuu laughed as they let themselves be pulled along.
They walked in silence, each in their own thoughts. Hikaru finally spoke up, but it was soft, "Don't you guys wonder if we can ever go back?"
Umi & Fuu stopped, surprised & turned. Standing behind them was a sadden Hikaru, face downward & shoulders shaking.
"Hikaru…" Umi started, throwing her arms around her as Fuu did the same.
"Don't cry, Miss Hikaru. Maybe today will be the day." Fuu said.
Hikaru nodded, but kept her face down. "What if they don't like the new us?" she asked, referring to their hair & her own height change & Fuu's eyes.
"Don't worry so much. We'll find out when we see them." Umi said, but Hikaru pushed out. The girls exchanged looks & followed closely behind, not saying a word.
Hikaru suddenly stopped & turned. Her eyes held tears, but she wouldn't let them fall. "Promise me this will be the last time we try this…" she said.
Umi & Fuu opened their mouths to protest, but Hikaru wouldn't let them. "I'm tired of trying & failing. I don't want to go through this for the rest of my life."
Umi & Fuu hesitated, but nodded. "Sure, Hikaru. This will be the last time." Umi promised.
Hikaru nodded & they walked in silence again. Once they reached the Tower, each were lost in their own thoughts. As if on autopilot, they walked up the steps to the top.
"Ready?" Fuu asked, clutching Hikaru's & Umi's hand.
The other two nodded & they shut their eyes & prayed with all their hearts. Suddenly, they felt the ground disappear & they felt wind whipping at their hair & skirts.
"AAAA!" a group scream rang through the air as almost every ear in Cephiro heard.
"We're gonna die!" Umi shouted, trying to hold her skirt down.
"Don't say that!" Hikaru yelled, hair whipping all over the place.
"Well, what else are we going to do! Float down!" Umi shrieked as the ground came up extremely fast.
Ooh, cliffhanger. I know, I know. The girls returning to Cephiro bit is old & tired. But I added a twist. Please RR.
