"Umi-san? What is the matter? Why are you crying?" Called a voice to Umi as she sat there on the ground rubbing her sore backend. Umi opened her eyes to see Fuu sitting across from her. Worried was clearly swimming in Fuu's eyes as she starred at Umi. Umi smiled at her smart friend.

"Fuu. Yeah I'm fine. But... How is Hikaru? Is she feeling any better?" Umi asked as she wiped away the tears yet her face still held a glow of red. Fuu knew Umi had been crying but she thought it best to leave it be for now.

"She finally woke up, but... she is still not doing well. She said she's fine, but-"

"But she is lying to make us feel better right!" Umi questioned, interrupting Fuu. Fuu didn't need to answer her though. They both knew the answer to her question. Hikaru always did that. She has been doing that since they had all met those three years ago. Fuu softly smiled at her temperamental friend.

"I'm going to go tell everyone else. Lantis-san is watching over Hikaru-san right now. You can go see her if you wish. I will see you soon Umi-san." Fuu said as she walked off in the direction Umi had come from. Umi then went in the opposite direction to Hikaru's room, hoping her friend was okay.

Hikaru's room

Hikaru laid there on the bed as Lantis sat next to her watching. His face held an agitated look to it as he sat there. Finally he sighed and spoke up.

"Hikaru I know you're not really sleeping. Hikaru I want to talk to you, please." Lantis said as he tried to look at her face.

Its true Hikaru was never really asleep. She had been faking it since Fuu left the room. Mokona though had fallen sleep snuggled in Hikaru's arms. She knew Lantis wanted to talk about what she said to him during the battle, she was just too embarrassed to speak up. Deciding it was now or never, she slowly sat up. She looked around the room to see it was just her and Lantis there, and then spotted Mokona fast asleep next to her. She knew it was safe to talk to him now.

"What do you want to talk to me about Lantis?" Hikaru asked already knowing what he wanted to talk to her about. She just didn't want him to know she knew, she was too embarrassed.

"I want to talk to you bout what you said while we were inside Inouva."

Hikaru sighed, blushed, and thought, 'I hate it when I'm right. What am I going to do? How am I going to tell him?'

"Hikaru what you said…was it true? Because…if it is…" Lantis stuttered as a blush formed on his face. Hikaru blushed as well and looked around the room. Knowing what she had to do Hikaru got out of bed and walked over to the dresser where her glove and necklace laid. Lantis gave her a confused look.

"Hikaru? What are you doing?" Lantis asked her as Hikaru put her glove and necklace on, and her uniform appeared on her body. 'Lantis…' Hikaru thought as she turned around and possessed a look of fiery determination in her eyes, ready to tell him the truth of her feelings.

"Lantis, everything I said inside Inouva was…My true feelings. Lantis…I…I…I…I Love You!" Hikaru said as a great weight lifted off her shoulders. But again her embarrassment took over along with a hint of worry about rejection. She had to get out of there and get some fresh air.

"Hikaru I-" Lantis started but could not finish due to Hikaru interrupting him.

"I'm sorry…" She cried out as she fled the room with tears in her eyes.

"HIKARU!" Lantis cried as Hikaru ignored him and kept run. A few minutes she wound up in on of the gardens surrounding the castle. She placed her hands on her knees and began to pant, out of breath.

"Lantis…I'm sorry." Hikaru whispered to herself… or so she thought. In the far corner of the garden though, a shadow lingered, waiting for her.

"You should be! Pillar of Cephiro!" Yelled the shadow to Hikaru as he came closer. Hikaru turned and screamed.

"What! GYAA!" Hikaru then disappeared into the night…

BUMB BUMB BUMB! Lol don't worry she'll be okay. Or will she… R&R Please hehehehehehehehehehehe (continues into the distance)…
