Warning: Clef fans, I am kind of mean to him here. Supposedly, I have yet to decide whom Umi will end up with, but really, I do know. Not to say that wonÕt change. Just... Well, lets just say if you are a violently obsessive Umi and Clef fan, this is probably not the story for you. Or this part isnÕt. But, I think IÕll leave it up to my readers. Who do you want to end up with Umi? Ascot or Clef? I really donÕt mind either. (If you really want one, do it quickly, because the actual togetherness thing is
And for you Eagle x Hikaru fans, ItÕs Eagle/Lantis/Hikaru. That means threesome. To quote my none anime loving friend when she read the manga Eagle is obviously in love with Lantis. And Lantis with Eagle. But they seem to like Hikaru a lot too...” She possesses a very accurate Gaydar too, so E/L/H it is.
And it is obviously F/F. I'll try to restrain myself with the whole obsessive fluff thing, because I am a SAP, so it's not good (i.e pointless, and that bugs me).
Oh, and the whole sexual refrences thing... Well, I'm Canadian and sex doesn't have a lot of stigma attached to it. It's just a body function, right? So, if you feel uncomfortable with overt sexual references, this probably isn't the fic for you.
The teacher droned on at the front front of class, yapping about some useless piece of knowledge he had gained when he went to the Galapagos islands. I was trying to pay attention, I really was, but no... He just had to be one of those annoying people whose main concern is themselves.
Which is why I was currently off in a daydream of a fabulous fencing tournament, set in Cephiro, of course. I quickly dodged my opponent's swipe, and hit him on the heart, winning the tournament. Joyously, I curtsied to the crowd, which was berating me with a loud rendition of Umi! Umi! Ya gotta love a crowd. I made Clef appear, and, in that daydreaming chibi style, watched as he dropped into a pit of molten lava. No... That was too cruel... I did still love the guy, but I do hold grudges. Particularly in this case.
Hmmm... Molten lava wasn't working so... Well, Clef is afraid of caterpillars. Don't ask, he's a weirdo 750 year old who looks like he's ten. Of course he would be afraid of caterpillars. Crazy deranged monsters... NO FEAR! But caterpillars, there's a psycho thing... So I imagined him getting eaten by caterpillars...
... Wait, that was supposed to be in my head. Shit! Stupid evil laughter... The teacher turned to me, his nostrils flaring. Ryuuzaki-san, perhaps you can explain why my mother getting lost in a cave is so funny? It certainly wasn't for me! Okay, I covered annoying, but apparently not mama's boy. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just... Oh, who cares!
Of course, that was when I heard snickering from behind me. I turned to look at the culprit, and saw a short, pale blonde haired boy, with skin so white he could have been a vampire. He had huge wire rimmed glasses which perched precariously on his nose. From the side of his head descended a small white rat tail. Ishii Koyosuki, the leader of N.I.P.S. met my eyes head on.
Sensei, I think that Ryuuzaki-san is too challenged by the material you are providing for us. Perhaps some sort of discipline towards her conduct is necessary? The boy with no fashion sense grinned maliciously. You would think that he could at least afford a nice shirt, but no... He seems to equate being smart with being small, short and relatively ugly. I know as a fact that this isn't true, because I know I'm gorgeous, and I could beat him hands done when it comes to being clever. And Fuu's good looking too, and she could whoop his ass from here to Autozam in a battle of wits.
So I shot my patented bitch glare towards him, muttered so only he could hear, then smiled beautifully towards our teacher. Sensei, I must point out the fact that I wasn't laughing at you, or your mother. I was simply thinking about a small bird that lives there. I have one at home you see. It does weird things... So I laughed... I'm sorry. Okay, not the best excuse in the world, but it works. The teacher smiled at me. It's all right, for today... And I knew it would be. Until I got accused of plagiarism or something from that little bastard of a nerd, that is.
When class was finally over, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Hey, I may be naturally aggressive, and wonderfully so, but somehow getting into a fight with either a teacher or a boy determined to get me in trouble in his own nerdy way, was not in my pile of 'things to do...'
And hey, I had psychology next. I simply adore psychology, the way you learn why people do things *cough* like cheating on me with Presea *cough*. Oh damn, did I just give away what Clef did to me? Whoops... You see, apparently it's just fine by cephiran rules to go fuck someone else. And tell them you love them. If I had of known that, I would have forsaken choosing and taken both Clef and Ascot. But no, Clef told me in the beginning, 'choose one'. So I chose Clef, who, despite the fact that he looked young, was quite experienced. Oh, and then there was the fact that I was madly in love with him. But never mind that.
So after all that, all his poems and prose and LOVE, for three years, he goes for Presea. Not that I blame her or anything, particularly because in the sack he assumes a slightly older form so as to not make the woman who he's with stop because the fact that it's like pedophilia. Still, why couldn't he have stuck with the whole 'I'll only love you forever' deal, like Fuu and Ferio have. Hell, those two had it, probably still have it, bad. Or Hikaru and Lantis and Eagle, who, if you asked one to pick between the others in any way (including sexually), you could not get an answer. And truly, while I don't want to know about their kinky sexcapades, they've already said how much they love each other, and want to remain together forever.
Lantis asked them both to marry him, and then Hikaru asked Eagle to marry her, {A/N- I fully acknowledge the fact that in the manga, Lantis didn't even know what marriage was. But, I figure Hikaru told him, and probably Eagle, so he would've done that.}and they all said yes, and were planning to get married before Clef had a 'talk' with me, about relationships on Cephiro. The fighting had been going on since we started, but it had never seemed to matter that much, we could always make it up to each other. Except that time. I mean, he demanded monogamy from me, when he couldn't sustain it himself? And then he told me he loved me. As though cheating on me wasn't enough, he told me he loved me. I had to get out. After all, Clef was the most powerful magician in the country. So I went to talk to my parents for a while. A month or so.
And Fuu and Hikaru came to comfort me, and then to reassure their parents that they were alive. Fuu didn't bring her kid because it was just for a day or so. Then the gate closed. Tightly shut. Gone. And so we were ungracefully kicked out of Cephiro. Well... Maybe kicked out. It's hard to tell.
Hey! Umi! The masculine voice called out from behind me. I turned and flashed him a giant smile. The boy who was there was most definitely NOT from N.I.P.S. Dark brown hair, red eyes, a distinctly chiseled face, muscular, with the best arms you will ever see. His tanned body came from the large amounts of time he spent on the baseball field. He was HOT! And, well, me and Clef might get back together one day, but until then, I think I'll meet him halfway, and have a wonderfully promiscuous life. This IS college after all.
I was wondering whether you would like to go out with me for drinks tonight? The guy asked. I raised an eyebrow. And why would I want to do that? I don't even know your name. The guy looked momentarily shocked, then realized I was teasing. Well, Babe, the name's Yamato. And you'd want to because I am one of the most wanted bachelors on Campus. And, I'd definitely show you a good time. He wriggled his eyebrows suggestively. Well, I do like guys with egos, so... Alright. You show me a good time. Pick me up at eight. I flashed him a seductive grin then turned back to the lesson.
As it was, today, Cephiro was bright and sunny. The light poured through the large windows in the gigantic hall, brightening everything but the one man dressed all in black. By earth standards, he would be considered huge. His ear length locks sat disheveled on his head, his eyes the colour of Cephiro's sky. His body was shielded by the large black cloak he wore no matter what. Seriousness seemed to coat him, like a large, quiet, deadly hulk of human. {a/n Cephirans are human, aren't they?} Somewhere from behind him, though, the shuffling of small feet on the marble sounded.
He turned abruptly, and was surprised as a small girl ran towards him, attaching herself to his leg, or rather calf, as she reached up barely to his knee. Uncle Lantis! She cried in child's delight. Mint green curls descended to her ears, and she had creamy white skin and golden green eyes. She was clad in a small red jumper, a duck on the pocket in the front. He glanced towards both ends of the hall, carefully, and seeing no one, picked the girl up and threw her lightly into the air, his face breaking into a smile. She giggled happily. And how are you, little one? She planted a sweet kiss on one cheek, and cuddled to his neck.
Daddy says Uncle Clef's got a surprise. Do you think it will be Mommy? Her words weren't the clearest, as young children's usually are, but still, his smile seemed to wane as he glanced into her golden green eyes. Not noticing, the child continued on. Why are you back? Huh? Is Uncle Eagle here too? Are you going to... She paused, making a face, KISS again? Daddy says that sometimes, when people kiss they make babies. Are you going to have a baby? How come babies get older? Did I have to kiss someone to get older? Will I have to kiss someone? Did Geo bring candy again? I like candy. I think I could eat as much as he could. Do you like candy? Do you like that yucky stuff that Zazu drinks? Do you think that maybe the surprise is like one of Uncle Ascot's friends? I'd like a friend like that.
She paused for breath, not noticing Lantis's amused stare. He wondered when she had learned to talk so much, and if she could keep track of her thoughts at all. Then again, considering who's daughter she was, he wasn't quite as disbelieving as he could have been. Hold on there, Kiddo. He grinned. She stared up at him expectantly. Yes, your Uncle Eagle came with me. We're all here for the surprise. He tickled her. Now we'll just wait for your dad to show up so he doesn't have a fit, and then I'll race you to the throne room. Giggles broke out from the girl. Soft laughter rang out from behind him as the small child's father walked quietly down the hall. You're back? The man queried. Lantis nodded. Clef called us here. The man's eyebrows shot up.
heheheh.... I made Lantis fatherly... And he likes little kids...
