After a year they managed to get back to Cephiro. Love, hurt and betrayal. They realised that their loves had other girls. It's an all out fight to win them back or have them only as their memories. F/F U/A/C H/L

Hi!! Thanks for the reviews! I actually fell out of the chair when i saw the number and pinched myself to see if it was real. Then i ran around the house like a mad man. Other than gaining a couple of bruises, i found a tiny little problem......

H/L is okay. Seems like everyone likes that combination. It's U/A/C that is killing me. Half of u want U/C and the other half U/A. What am i suppose to do? So from now till the end of the story, vote and the winning combination will be at the last chappie, ok? Oh yeah can u pls say that my story is nice and vote, reviews which say :I vote for H/L. is not really encouraging. Thanks! ^_^ Liadel: I agree I love F/F best! However something will happen to Fuu. The 3 brats will get what they deserve.

Nari-Dragon Girl: Thank u =D

Aranami: About the font read below. Thanks a lot! I like the term "cute story".

Umi-chan: Thanks! I noe that a lot of authors make her non-existent so i wanted her to be part of the story. I got a thing about chibi love (Sanyun/Aska). About her hair......Oh sorry about the weird things, seem to be ff.net disruptencies (crossing fingers in hope of having spelt that right). The tramps? I think u r insulting tramps, they r not worthy 2 be tramps!! But they will stay around, if not there would be no fun! Primera was funny n true to her character, wow that's a major compliment! Love ur stories!! Umi is totally Umi! (duh.)

Charm: Thank u! *bows n curtseys*

...:No offence but this is a strange name O_o. It's okay if u feel that way but pls remember u r not the only one reading. Plus ur vote does count so u could review more to change the outcome. ^_~

Miemu Akari: Haha, very funny, but u do have a point. Thanks 4 the review n being supportive either way this story goes .*Gives u a big hug 2 say thanks*

angel.wings: By the way what is the last 1/8? I only have like 7/8, just kidding. Thanks a lot for the compliment! I am just plain old 100% chinese.

Miko Windam: I like Ascot feeling guilty! It seems easy for him to be. I agree changing to H/E now may not work so well. It seems like you like Aska too, cheers!

Iarly: Thank u!! u r the FIRST(hopefully not the last) to love my story!*sends a blow kiss, looks away blushing*

Yume: Tomo arigatou gouzaimasu! (thank u very much)

Susan: Merci. (thank u)

I believe in love: What a name! No worries Hikaru n Lantis will have more scenes. About Umi n Ascot... uhh I'll try but it is kinda hard to rite scenes both U/C n U/A, it doesn't seem romantic enough.

Karu-chan: Xie xie ni, wo gan tao hen rong xing.(thank u i m honoured). Really , Presea doesn't die in the manga?! Glad to noe. I like Presea lots!!

You noe if this goes on I think i m gonna run out of thank u s to say. BUT i hope this goes on. Anywae i don't own mkr.*whispers "unfortunately."* But i own the plot of this story. Lets begin!

Finding a lost love.

Ferio heard Patricia enter the room. He sighed and didn't even bother to hide it. He continued to ignore her presence till she went over to sit in his lap. Her blond hair spread around his shoulders, she tried to lie against him comfortably.

"Ferio dear, why is she lying on your bed?", asked Patricia pouting.

"Never you mind and DON'T disturb her." came Ferio's warning. She then tried another tactic, "Honey look at my fingers, aren't they perfect?"

Ferio was, apparently not in the mood to admire nails as he rolled his eyes. He had no time for this. Then he asked Patricia a question,"Patty, what is most important to you?"

"Being pretty of course!" was her shallow reply. Ferio could have hit himself, who would compare Fuu to Patricia? They were totally different!

Suddenly he felt and urge to sleep, wondering why, he didn't even notice that Patricia had left and slowly he fell sound asleep.

"Fuu? In my dream?" questioned Ferio as he saw a figure leaning against a tree, reading a book. The wind gently caressed his face, just like someone else he knew did. Fuu turned a page, her hair was a little messy and she brushed it off.

"Ferio?" she whispered, "Is that you?" as she heard the sound of familiar footsteps.

"Yes it's me." he answer hugging her tightly. In the midst of their warm embrace, Fuu began choking, "Ferio! Let go! I can't breathe!" Ferio quickly loosened his hold.

All of a sudden tears began to flow down her face. Looking anxious he asked, "Why are you crying?"

"I thought you didn't love me anymore.", she sobbed.

"Silly! I loved you before and I always will!"he declared. She showed a small smile. Placing her head on his chest, her smile widened. He placed an arm over her, it felt so right for both of them. It felt, meant to be.

Fuu confessed shyly," I missed you. A lot." Ferio felt so happy at that sentence, even if it was only a dream. "Me too." he answered as he planted a small kiss on her forehead. Then the wind lifted a corner of her shirt. He saw something, a scar. What had happened to Fuu? He glanced at her with concern but her expression was content. He couldn't bear to wake her up. ~
Sanyun crept in the room careful not to disturb the sleeping Ferio. Then he walked up to Fuu. "Fuu-chan I hope you get better, because...cause I like you.", he stuttered. He was blushing so much that he resembled a tomato. Then he left silently, knowing full well that she had only eyes for another. Ferio.

Patricia also made her way in. Glancing at the sleeping girl she murmured, " Feiro's mine. I won't let you take him!" as she made Fuu swallow a pill. Of deadly poison...

~

Ferio looked at Fuu. She was disappearing! He tried to wake her up. But to no avail. Then she vanished completely. "FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!"

He woke up with a start. It was only a bad dream ...wasn't it? Still feeling worried he made his way to Fuu's bed.

"Help me!" a familiar voice sounded in his head. He ran to Lady Aska and Clef. Pretty soon everyone was once gathered in Ferio's room. Lady Aska took her pulse, then said in a solemn voice," Fuu has been poisoned. She will not make it through the week. I will try to stabilise her condition. Till then stay here, I may need other herbs." Ferio just had a lost expression. Umi looked furious and Hikaru looked grieved.

Umi went to look for Clef hoping he may have an solution. Hurrying her pace she managed to catch up with him. "Clef, wait up!" she panted.

"Yes Umi?" he asked.

"Isn't there anything else you can do to help Fuu?", she pleaded.

Clef frowned, did Umi think that if he had anything he could help Fuu with, wouldn't he have done it already?

"No.", he replied flatly without any emotion.

"Oh. I see. Do you know any books about this type of poison?"

"I DON'T KNOW! Leave me alone!" thundered Clef looking very irritated.

"Clef..." said Umi sounding shock. Then she bent her head and ran forward trying to prevent anyone from seeing her shiny tears. Clef muttered something then went after Umi.

"Umi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blow up on you like that." Clef began as soon as he caught sight of that bright blue hair. "It's okay Clef, it's not your fault. It's just that Fuu, Ascot all the changes..." her voice trailed off as it turned into a sob.

"Can I borrow your shoulder Clef?" asked Umi between sobs. Clef gave a small nod. She then held onto Clef for support, her silky head on his shoulders. Clef caressed her hair murmuring, "It'll be fine." Slowly Umi fell asleep. Clef felt strangely content with the water knight resting on his shoulders.

"I love you Umi. I have always loved you. I love your hair, your smile, your stubborn nature, the way you refuse to quit." he confessed, his cheeks a flaming red. He then kissed Umi gently at her cheek. Smiling he continued to gaze at the sleeping Umi.

However a certain emerald eyed boy passed by at that moment. He gave a sigh, he knew this would happen. If he didn't have Luria, maybe Umi might have been his! He knew it was no use thinking what ifs. As that scene replayed in his memory, red not pangs of envy raced through his body. He realised how much he wished he was Clef. His regret seemed to grow each time that scene was recalled, yet he seemed unwilling to forget.

Hikaru looked up a tree. Plenty of birds. No Lantis though. She went over and at by the fountain. Admiring the scenery, she was surprised by a voice behind her.

"Hi Hikaru!", a cheerful voice rang out. That was a VERY familiar voice. She couldn't quite believe her ears. "Eagle-san!" she cried out.

"The one and only.", he grinned and bowed. Hikaru ran to hug him.

"You should let go of him, Hikaru, he can't breathe." said another voice with just a little hint of amusement. Hurriedly Hikaru let go of a wheezing Eagle.

"Sorry Eagle!", she apologised sheepishly. Eagle shrugged it off. Eagle looked at Lantis and Hikaru, "Are you two together?"

"NO!" came loud and clear from both of them. Just at that moment guess who breezed in the gardens like nothing was going on, Gina. She shot Eagle a flirty look before going next to Lantis and cooed," Lantis darling, what are you doing with HER? Lets go to the clothes shop okay?" Without waiting for a reply, she dragged him away.

Hikaru gave a sigh. Eagle just looked confused. Seeing Eagle's expression, she couldn't help but laugh. "Lantis has found someone else," she heard herself say. "He no longer love me..." said Hikaru as she gave another sigh. Eagle shook her by her shoulders. "Don't think that way! he loves you. Even if he doesn't..." he lowered his voice, "I will."

"Do you want a sweet? I 've one in my pocket. Are you okay now..." asked Hikaru as she recovered back to her old self. Together they chatted till the sun was setting. Then they said their good-byes.

"Let go!!"screamed Fuu...
