Well, I'm not sure, but this MIGHT be the last chapter. I'll see how it goes....... Btw, I changed it to a action/romantic, coz this is just not a pure romance, ne?

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

Umi sat with her hands covering her face. She felt queasy, not to mention guilty. She hadn't wanted to shout at Fuu, but why had the words just- she stopped herself. She remembered the promise she and Hikaru had given....... Umi released that it was the most stupid thing anyone could do, giving their souls to someone, she inhaled loudly, evil?

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

Hikaru sat with Lantis. They spoke quietly, about the events earlier that day.

Lantis blinked at Hikaru. "Hikaru, what... happened earlier. I can't help but feel, worried about you....." He looked into her eyes. "And I want you to tell me now Hikaru. How did you get here, when none of us could think of a way to be reunited with you three girls?"

Hikaru looked frightened for half a second, then she gave a cheeky smile. "In Cephiro everything is decided by will Lantis."

Lantis raised an eyebrow. "Hikaru stop lying."

"Look, I gave you an answer, why can't you believe me?!"

Lantis moved away, startled at her response. "Hikaru! Just tell me!"

-SLAP- Hikaru gasped, what had she just done?? To her horror, she found herself glaring at Lantis. "Just keep out of my business, why are you people so nosy?!"

He just stared at her, looking hurt. It melted Hikaru's heart to see him like that, but her lips said otherwise.

"Just- Oh I don't have the time!" She stalked off, leaving him sitting there.

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

"So, like, we're all at a conclusion that something is going on?" Caldina asked everyone.

Everyone -but Umi and Hikaru- had agreed to meet in the library, to discuss the obvious problem.

Fuu nodded sadly, was she going to lose two friends at once? After her less than friendly talk with Umi, Hikaru had also been shouting at her when she entered a room to talk to her.

Clef ran his fingers through his hair. "Yes, it all seems strange, Umi has always hidden her feelings, and Hikaru....... when has she been angry or sad?"

Fuu sighed, and Ferio put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I don't know why Umi got so stressed, but it must be something to do with coming here."

Lantis shifted, and spoke out. "Hikaru, also got angry with me today, after, slapping me."

Everyone turned to him, barely able to control their gasps.

"Hikaru, hit you?" Lafarga questioned.

"Hard?" Ascot looked confused and suprised.

Clef raised a hand to silence everyone.

They looked down at the floor, then erupted into chatter once more.

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

Hikaru walked along the hallway, into a door that she had never noticed before. She seemed to know where she was going, as she walked into a dark hall, walking left and right up stairs down stairs.......

"HIKARU!" Two voices shouted.

She ran down a corridor, into a room with a huge dark hole. Umi and Fuu were screaming, and holding onto the edges, slipping, slowly.

"UMI! FUU! Don't worry! I'm coming!" She sprinted towards them.

"Hikaru! Hurry!" Umi cried, her fingers slipping.

"Hikaru! Please!" Fuu wailed, trying to grab hold of anything around her.

Hikaru strained against invisible chains, screaming their names.

They shouted once again, and at the same time, fell, to their deaths.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Hikaru yelled, tears pouring from her eyes.

She didn't care anymore, just as long as she was with her best friends. Forcing herself towards the hole. She jumped headfirst, closing her eyes.

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

"Hikaru! Hikaru!" Presea shook Hikaru as she and Clef sat on the ground with her.

She opened her eyes. "Where am I?"

"Hikaru! Oh Hikaru!" Presea was in hysterics, crying.

Hikaru looked around, she was at a beach cliff, afew inches away.

Clef looked terrified. "Hikaru, Presea and I, we saw you, walking towards the cliff..... Presea grabbed you......"

Hikaru knew, she didn't want to think about what would have happened if they hadn't been there.

Soon after, Umi,Fuu, Caldina, Ascot and Lafarga came running out.

Presea let Hikaru stand and she looked at her and Umi.

"I think, girls, its time you gave us an explanation." She folded her arms, and everyone else stared at them......
