Hello everyone! It took a while but I'm finally here, with a new chapter.
The last chapter was a little bit...tense, but it had nothing to do with
Fuu and Clef. They get along very well, but the situation was very serious,
and Fuu, being the most...down-to-earth one, became really worried. That's
why there was all that tension. Is your question answered, liz? Ok, now
let's go to this chapter. I tried my best to make it sound very romantic,
but if you thought that it wasn't enough, just tell me and I'll try harder
next time. And, of course, I will try my best to make it longer. Now, have
a nice time and please review.
Sissi
P.S.: I do not own Magic Knight Rayearth.
Chapter Seven
Three days had passed since the depart of our three friends. The weather had gotten worse, and all the citizens 0of Cephiro were now living in the castle, looking for safety. Princess Emerauld had been quite distressed with the whole situation, because she had to wait for three days and there was no answer of her friends. The days had passed very slowly, although Caldina and Ferio tried their best to cheer her up. To no avail. She was silent most of the time, waiting. Waiting for the salvarion... Waiting for the end...
"Sister, Askot has returned!" said a very happy Ferio.
"Are you serious Ferio? You are not lying to me to make me feel better?"
"Of course I am. Do you think I would lie about something do important?" he said, indignant.
She smiled and apologized.
"I dd believe in you, Ferio. You are my little brother..." she said, warmingly.
"Ok, ok. They are waiting for you in the main room."
"I will be right there in a second."
"I will inform it to them." With that, he left his siter's bedroom.
'So, the Magic Knight of water is here. Maybe we should have hope...' with that in mind, she left her bedroom and went towards the main room.
The main room was a very nice place, with big windows, fine sofas and paintings. Sitting on a blue couch, there was Umi, waitib=ng for the princess. Before anyone could announce the princess's arrival, she satood up and made a reverence. Princees Emerauld, surprized that she knew of her presence evn before appearing in the room, asked:
"How did you know that I was behind the door?" she asked astonished.
"I sensed your magical zephyr" she said, smiling some seconds later.
"Oh, I see. It is a pity that I cannot sense it as weel. Anyway, nice to meet you, Magic Knight..."
"Please, let's forget about the formalities. Just call me Umi."
"Well, Magic...Umi, I am glad that you accepted to join us in this war. You did not have to, but you decided to help us anyway, so you have my consideration and frienship for ever."
"Come on, Princess Emerauld, you do not need to be so formal with me. I am here because it is my wish, and you as well will always have my friendship"
"That is good to hear. By the way, do you know if the other Magic Knights are also going to join us?"
"I have a slight opinion that they are heading towards this place." She smiled.
"Oh, that wonderful!"
They heard footstepd coming from the outside. The door burst open and a young woman, Caldina, stepped inside of the room.
"Oh, sorry princess, but the other magic knight is here. Oh, she is so cute! She has red hair and she is so cheerful!" said Caldina. She was dancing while she was telling the news.
"Good. Please, tell her to come in. And...Caldina, I do not think it is very polite to be jumping up and down in front of guests."
"What? Oh, she is also very pretty. What is your name, sweetie?"
"Ahn...I am Umi, nice to meet you"
"I am Caldina, the most beautiful, sexy, well-buitl, charming..."
"Huhum, Caldina, please, she is a magic knight."
"Oh, really!! Oh, I am flattered to meet you! I did not know that you were a magic knight! You are as preety as your friend. Is thr=e third knight as beautiful as you?"
"Ahn...Yes, she is..."
"Caldona, plaese..." begged the princess. Caldina, understanding the hint, apologized and left the room.
"Sorry about this. I hope you did not feel very dislocated while she was talking to you."
"No, it was nothing. She just knid of...reminded me of Hikaru...Always happy and smiling. I just got really surprized."
At the exact moment the Princess Emerauld was going to reply, the door was opened and a young red-headed girl entered. She was smilimg profusely, and when she saw Umi, she started ro run and hugged her dear friend in a bear hug, almost asfixiating her poor friend.
"Hey...Hikaru...calm down...YOU ARE SQUEEZING ME TO DEATH!" shouteda blue Umi. When Hikaru stopped hugging her, Umi started to pant slightly. Hikaru, noticing this, started to apologize till Umi had to stop her, saying that it was nothing, that she was also very happy to see her again, etc.
Hikaru I do not think that you have ever meet Princess Emerauld. Well, this is your chance. Here she is, Princess Emerauld. Princess Emerauld, this is the Magic Knight of fire, Hikaru."
"I am glad to meet you, Hikaru-san"
"Oh, so you are the princess?! I am so happy. Everyone told me about your beauty and kindness and now, I finally got to meet you! Ah, call me Hikaru, not Hikaru-san. We are going to fight together so we've got to become good friends. Unless you wnat to call me Hikaru-san, like Fuu-chan always calls me. Do you knoe her? She is very intelligent, and she knows lots of things and..."
"HIKARU!!! Ahum...I think that it was enough. Princess Emerauld does not want to hear about Fuu at the moment. "
"Oh...I am sorry..." Hikaru said, blushing slightly.
"No, it was not your fault. Besides, I really liked you and I wish we will become good friends. I will meet your friend Fuu-chan soon, so don't worry. Later, when this war is over, you can tell me more about her, ok?" said a very calm Emerauld. She had enjoyed immensely Hikaru's presence and found herself eager to hear all her stories. But, that was not the moment, as Umi had politely made it clear.
Askot, who was sitting on a couch far from where they were, stood up and joined them. Receiving a knowing look from Emerauld, he told the two girls that it was time to know where they were going to sleep : their bedroom. The three left the main room and walked alomg the corridors, chatting about the Cephiro's situation. As they passed many rooms, Hikaru spotted a tall man standing in front of the window, watching the lightmings appear in the dark sky. He had ebony hair and dark eyes, and was wearing a heavy armor and carrying a long sword along of his waist.
Askot, noticing that Hikaru had stopped walking, looked in the direction of whatever she was staring at and got shocked. She was staring at Lantis!
"Er...Hikaru? We should keep walking"
"What? Oh, yeah...Just tell me who he is"
"Him? Well, he is Lantis, Cephiro's army's captain. He is a great swordsman and he is the younger brother of Zagato."
"And who is Zagato?"
"He is Princess Emerauld's adviser and a powerful magician. He is also...er...Emerauld's ...boyfriend."
"Really?! Wow, that's so romantic! Hey, do they kiss all the time..."
Askot was already blushinga lot when he said that Zagato was Emerauld's boyfriend, so when Hikaru started to ask for more information about the pair, his face was as red as a tometo. It was even redder, if it was poccible. It was a crimson red! Umi, noticing that, if Hikaru continued with those questions, she would never arrive at their bedroom, and she was needing a very long bath, so she cut off the conversation anf they kept walking once more.
"Hum, thajnks for that." Said a shy Askot.
"It was nothing. I noticed that you were getting so rec that I felt it was my duty to rescue you." Said a teasing Umi. Askot, noticing the teasing, blushed once again.
"What happened? Did I say something wrong?" asked a worried Umi this time, noticing his rosy cheeks.
"No, it is nothing."
"Are you sure? Are feeling well? Maybe you should take a bath and then sleep for a while. "
"I will do that, thanks. "
"You are welcome."
Soon, they arrivedat their bedrooms. Umi's bedroom was in the left, while Hikaru's bedroom was n the right. The three said goodbyes to each one and continued with their paths. Hikaru could not help but think about that handsome guy called Lantis, while Askot could not stop thinking about Umi and her gorgeous smile. Umi, on the other side, could not stop thinking about a hot bath, cleaning all her body and realing her muscles.
~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~" ~"~"~"~"~"~
Princess Emearuld had stayed in the amin room, waiting for the third magic knight. If Umi were right, and she was sure of that, then Fuu would be there soon. She could not let a guest wait, specially someone so important for the fate of Cephiro.
The time passed and there was no sigh of the third magic knight. She was alone, sitting on a sofa and drinking some tea to relax. Then, she spotted something flying in the direction of the palace. Actually, she spotted tww thingd flying in the sky. As the distance separating them became shorter, she could now see what had attracted her attention.
'Oh, my God! It's Clef and a girl! And they are flying!' she thought, shocked. Flying was one of the most ancient dream of human beings, and it was impossible since the beginning of the world. And now, from no where, with no advice, she saw one of her best friends making this so difficult dream cone true. It was unbelievable!
The two people entered the room by the window, which was unlocked by Emerauld. Her eyes were glimmering with curiosity and expectation.
"Princess Emerauld. I have finally come back with the Magic Knight of wind Fuu with me. " he said.
"Nice to meet you, princess. I have heard many rumors about you, and it seems that the one about your beauty is true." She said.
"Thank you very much for the compliment. But, you are also very pretty, so do not say any further. It is my pleasure to meet you. Your other friends have already arrived and they are in their own rooms in the palace. Would you like to see you bedroom? Or, would you prefer to eat something before?"
"Thank you for the hospitality, but I would like to go to my bedroom and ake a bath."
"Certainly. I will call someone to take you there. Clef, we need to discuss somethings,ok?"
"Yes, Princess, as you wish."
Princess Emerauld smiled and then turned. She walked out of the main room, to see if there were any person naer to take Fuu to her dormitory. Some minutes passed and no one appeared. She was almost going to enter the room again when she saw her dear brother carrying his long sword, all wet of sweat because of the training classes he was attending with Lafarga.
"Ferio! Come here please!"
As he heard her sister's voice, he ran to where she was, anxious that something might be wrong.
"What is it?"
"The third magic Knight is here. Will you take her to her bedroom? Please?"she asked, making a puppy face that she knew he would not resist. Looking at those big watery eyes, he sighed. 'She knows how to ask me a favor'he thought.
"Ok, I will. But, I want a reward." He grinned at her shocked face.
"Oh, come on Ferio, it will not take very long. And besides, you like cute girls. Right?"
"Hum, yeah, I do. But, what are you trying to say?"he asked, suspicious.
"Well, this magic knight is very pretty and I am sure you will have a nice time with her. So, what do you think?"she asked. This time, it was her who was grinning.
'Wow, she is really my sister' he thought.
"ok, sis, I will do as you wish. I just hope she is as pretty as you said."
"I give you my word."
Both of them entered the large room. He spotted a young golden –haired girl with extremely green eyes and snowy skin, talking to Clef in a very heated conversatio. She smiled once or twice, and the view of those smiles made his heart skip one or two beats.
'She is beautiful...'
"Fuu, this is my younger brother, Ferio. He will scoop ypu yo your bedroom, if you have no objection."
She looked at Ferio with those piercing eyes. She examined this man i front of her, and could not help blushing slightly. He was a fine young man, with green ahir and golden eyes. He had some scars on his face, but what called her attention were his eyes. She has never seen that color before, and was amazed that they showed all his feelings.
'He is so handsome...' she thught. And, once she noticed what she was thinking, she blushed a little harder this time. Emerauld seemed to notice that the two were feeling uneasy with her and Clef there, so she told Clef to go with het to the library, leaving those two alone.
'Good luck, Ferio...'she thought.
The two were there in the main room, alone. They did not dare to look at each other, afraid that they would betray their feelings. The silence went on till Ferio broke the silence.
"You...Do you want to go to your bed room now?"he asked, after a pause.
"Yes, please. "she answered in a low voice.
They walked along the long corridors, talking about nothing as a matter of fact. They talked about the palace, Cephiro, Windon, Princess Emerauld...As they reached her bedroom, they stopped.
"Well, this is your bedroom. Do you like it?"
"Sure. It is beautiful"
'Not as beautiful as you...'
"So, I think I am going to take a bath. Will we see each other again?"she asked him timidly.
"Hey, sure! Oh, by the way, we have dinner at seven, so you atill have three hours to rest."
"Ok. So, see you later."
Ÿeah, see you later then..."
She slowly closed the door, wishing to have his face memorized in her mind. He, on the other hand, did not leave the front of her bedroom'd door till he heard the sound of water flowing freely , indicating that she was really going to take a bath.
'I can't wait for dinner' he thought. He then started to walk slowly to his own bedroom, trying to find an outfit to impress her.
