Hey there people! I've decided to put this next chapter up, or it will be so far down that no-one will read it anymore *Sniff*

Anyways! On with the story!

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*

Cephiro grew dark, stars glittering brightly around it. The castle looked magnificent, almost glowing.

Ascot cut his finger on a knife, he cursed repeatedly, and grabbed a cloth.

Presea giggled sweetly. "You really wanted to cook tonight didn't ya?!"

Ascot grinned. "Yeah, only because no-one else would!"

Caldina entered with a bright pink outfit on, she opened the fridge and made a disgusted face. She pulled out Mokona, who had food stains over his mouth and was trying to say puu. "So, I've heard you've been wondering where all our food is disappearing to, ne?" She asked.

Presea screamed in rage. "MOKONA!"

Caldina and Ascot watched her chase him around the kitchen, knocking pans and plates flying.

Ascot laughed. "Wow, she hasn't got this mad since....."

"Since the Magic Knights were here." Caldina finished for him, her lips clamped shut.

Ascot hung his head. "Yeah, since the Magic Knights were here."

Presea heard him, and suddenly stopped chasing Mokona, who sped up the hall. She nodded sadly. "If only Ferio could see Fuu, or at least have contact with her...... that illness he has.... Clef has no idea what it could be.....thank god it isn't lethal......."

"Thats for sure, ne? He'll get better, ne?!" Ascot asked.

Presea wiped her eyes, "Who knows?", she answered.

*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Ferio choked, and opened his eyes. "Clef?

Clef smiled at him. "Ferio, you're awake? You should be sleeping."

Ferio shook his head. "No, I must get up. Get up and see Fuu....."

He fell back to sleep, coughing and wheezing.

Clef's face fell. 'Emeraude, your brother's illness is getting worse.... please help him, or he will, die.'

*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Fuu felt the warm blood trickle from her wrists, she sighed in comfort. The cuts she made had been deep, it should bleed for about an hour. It was, a good feeling.

*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Umi swept the halls, singing merrily, while Hikaru sat on the sofa, a huge pile of manga beside her.

"Fuus been quiet." Umi noted.

"Uh huh." Umi agreed, "Go check on her."

Hikaru stretched lazily, and walked into Fuu's room.

"UMI!" She yelled, her voice terrified. "QUICK!"

Umi dashed into Fuu's room, gasping in horror at the sight. Fuu's bed was soaked in blood, she had passed out. Umi stared at her, then looked at her wrists.

"Oh god!..........." She staggered back. "Hikaru, call an ambulance, Pronto!"

Hikaru lept into action, and Umi grabbed towels to wrap around Fuu's wrists. She picked up her cell phone and dialled.

"Hello? Yes, an ambulance! My friend, her wrists, are slit, please come!" Umi choked out, barely able to speak.

*----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Hikaru and Umi sat in the waiting room, tears pouring down their faces.

Hikaru wiped her face. "I hope, she'll be ok......."

Umi smiled at her. "Of course, if we believe she'll be ok, she will be. The doctor said you found her just in time Hikaru!"

Hikaru inhaled, then exhaled loudly. "Thank god."

Umi drank the last of her water, and then settled into the chair.

Hikaru looked at her, her face serious. "Umi, we have to get back to Cephiro."

"Hikaru, there isn't a way......" Umi answered.

Hikaru stood up. "There IS away Umi, and we're going to find it even if we die trying!"

Umi nodded, sitting bolt upright. "Yeah, Hikaru, we'll do it for Fuu!"
