AN: Woohoo

AN: Woohoo! This is a random thing I came up with after looking at the Rayearth2 art book I bought at A-Kon for far too long! It's dedicated to Mitsi-chan, who was thoroughly creeped out by the inspiring pic; and to Eiko who'll probably never read this because Jarvey-Girls don't have internet access. But Eiki's mom took me to A-Kon, so this is for her!

DISCLAIMER: Magic Knight Rayearth and Rayearth2 belong to CLAMP, as           does the pic that inspired this fic. But I own this                little bit of pointlessness I wrote, kay?

A Day in the Life of a Mashin

An artbook-inspired fanfic by

Sakuya Hecila

      Umi Ryuuzaki stared up at Selece from her cell inside the Chizetan battleship. "I want to know what you did during those long, long years!"

*********FLASHBACK*********

      Selece, with the other two Mashin, Rayearth and Windam, skipped merrily through a field. No one saw them here, except, of course, Mokona. The Creator did as it liked. This was the home of the Mashin, where they until needed to guide the magic knights. Flowers covered the lush green field where the Mashins played, and a giant swing hung in a tree in one corner.

      Rayearth sat in the swing, smiling and laughing as his friends pushed him. Windam and Selece also took turns on the swing. Soft, gleeful music played in the background. After swinging, the Mashins lay in the grass and made flower chains. They played all day, singing and giggling in the bright sunlight. The three joined hands in a circle, singing blithely the old rhyme,

      "Ring around the Mashins/Fighting with the Magic Knights/Ashes, ashes, the Pillar falls down!"

***********END FLASHBACK***********

      Selece said nothing, but the memories remained. Life as a Mashin was joyful, but he did not know how to explain it to this Magic Knight.
