Chapter Eleven
P.S.: I don't own Magic Knight Rayearth.
The arrival of the magic knights, safe and unharmed, made four hearts jump with joy. Princess Emerauld decided to prepare a party to celebrate to end of the danger and the beginning of a new era full of peace in Cephiro. The three, while preparing themselves for the party, were discussing about their current situation. Stay in Cephiro or leave this beautiful land and keep protecting their own lands? They had qualms about which one was the correct answer, but theuy decided to follow their hearts.
The party was wonderful. Princess Emerauld had told her chefs to cook all the delicious existent platters in the whole world. The chefs accomplished her desire, and the dinner table was covered with all the types of foos, since the most simple cake till the most refined mousse. The magic knights, specially Hikaru, was drooling over the table, and Lantis had to take her away from it.
Fuu and Ferio were sitting on a sofa, chatting and eating biscuits. Fuu was grabbing a plate with her right hand, while her left hand was under Ferio's right hand, gently caressing her hand with his thumb. He had fun teasing her, watching her blush and try to hide her shiness.
Askot was talking to Lafarga and Caldina, but he couldn't halp shooting glances at his beloved one. Umi was talking to Clef, who was trying to smile and enjoy the party. But, it was too hard to him. The beautiful siren in front of him could never be his. It's so hard to resign my heart...
The hours flew away and it was already two in the morning. Some people were already tired and leaving the hall to sleep. Hikaru was one of them. Before she could step any further, Fuu grabbed her shoulder and gently guided her back to the hall.
"Hmm...Fuu...Why can't I go to bed now?"
"Don't you remember? We must tell Emerauld our decision..."
"Oh, yeah,I've almost forgotten..."
"You did forget!"
"Hey, no way! I wasa just...Uaaaahhh...sorry...going to the bathroom."
"Really?"
"Yeah...Sao, where's Umi?"
"She's over there, talking to Clef. Let's go, ok?"
"Yep."
The two girls slowly approached the couple. Umi greeted her friends and said good bye to Clef. Before the three walked away, Fuu shot a glance at Clef, warning him that his time was almost over.
~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~
"Princess Emerauld, excuse us, but may we talk to you just for a moment?" asked politely Fuu.
"Oh, certainly. What is the matter, my friends?"
Fuu looked at her friends and they nodded. She inhaled deeply and replied.
"We...we want to give up of our lands."
"What?! Give up?"
"Yes. We...We want to stay in Cephiro with...with out beloved ones."
Emerauld smiled.
"I will grant your wish. Let's go to my private room."
They left the hall and entered the Prayer Room.
"Now, please, we need to form a circle. Yes, like this. Now, you must wish with all your heart that you want to give up on your lands. I will wish that they may be annexed to Cephiro. Are you prepared girls?"
"Yes." The three replied in unison. Green, Red, Blue and White rays started to emanate from their bodies. Then, the light duisappeared and they opened their eyes. They didn't know for sure if it had workede but somehow, they could feel that they were freed from that duty.
"Thank Emerauld. Now, girls, I have to do something of extreme importancy.Sleep!" and with that said, she flew away from the room and reached her bedroom. She jumped to her bed and fell asleep.
"...What was that?!" asked an astonished Umi. Fuu only smiled and told them that she was also going to sleep.
"Good night Fuu. Sleep with the angels."
"Thank you Umi. Princess...excuse me." And then she left.
"I think I'm going to go back the party. Askot is waiting for me." Umi said.
"No problem. See you tomorrow." And then, the princess left the room.
It seems that I'm all by myself now...any way, let's go back to the party!
When she arrived at the hall, she noticed that Askot had already went to his bedroom. Hey, he should have waited for me! Oh well...I think I'm also gonna sleep then...suddenly, someone touched her shoulder. She turned around and saw Clef.
"May I talk to you?"
"Ahn...Sure."
He guided her to the garden that she knew too well. They sat at the same bench where Askot and her had shared their first kiss. She blushed. Why am I thinking about this thing right now? She thought. She noticed that Clef was still silent, watching the stars as if he was seraching an answer for a very hard question.
She waited for him to start talking. They stayed like that for some minutes, but for her, it seemed like the whole eternity. It's so strange to be here, with him...I feel so...calm and there's something else in my heart...I...I don't know what it is...
"Umi? Do you love Askot?"
"What?!"
"Do you love him?"
"Yes, of course I do! I gave up Selece for him!"
"...What would you do if you knew that there's another heart that lives for you, that loves to see your smile or wished to be loved by you?"
"I...I..."
"...Because I know this person. It is me."
"Clef...I..."
"I know it is too late but I just wanted you to know my feelings. Your friend Fuu told me that anything can change, even the future. I hope that it will happen tonight, but I know it is only a wishful thought..."
"Clef...I also...love you..." she mumbled. Cled got really surprized and looked at her, trying to figure out if that was true or jus something to ease his heart. His heart jumped with joy when he saw sincerity within those blue orbs that he loved so much.

"Umi, I...I love you..."
He was almost kissing her when she turned her face, avoiding the kiss. He was taken aback by her reaction and waited for an answer for that.
"I'm so confused...I...I also loce Askot, I can't do this to him..."
"I see...so you love him more than me?"
"I...I don't know..."
Shelifted her head to watch the stars. They were shining, bringing light to the obscurity of the night. I don't know what to do! I love him...Now I know what I was feeling everytine I was near him...But I also love Askot, his green eyes, his boyish featutes and his shiness...but I also love Clef, his...hmm, tghat's really strange, I've never noticed how Clef looked like. I just had to know that it was Clef and that enough to me .
"The first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. Until then, I didn't believe in this thing of love at first sight. Now, I do."
"Clef, please, ghelp me, tell me what to do!" she pleaded. He smiled but didn't grab her hands.
"I can't tell you what to do Umi, because it is your life, not mine, only you can choose it."
That's was when she understood that she would find no help from him. If only he had touched her...but he didn't.
Askot, Clef...I'm so unsure...Suddenly, she saw Alcyone's face, full of tears. Why am I thinking about har right now? What does she has to do with my future, with my choice? I hope some day, I will forget her face and keep going with my life. Forget her face...I know it will happen sooner or later...But, what it Askot died? Would I forget about him, his face, his features? ...Yes, I would...
Suddenly, the choice she had ro choose presented itself as the easy life and the hard life. She knew what kind of life she would share with Askot, full of joy and daily work, children and then...death. But, with Clef, it was hard to say. There'd be times that she wouldn't know what Clef was thinking. It would always be full of surprises, good and bad ones. It wouldn't be like with Askot, having nothing to fear except for death...
Death...once again death...Maybe Askot died, and then, I would forget his handsome face...she turned her head and saw Clef also admiring the night.
"Clef, I've done my decision. I want to spend the rest of my life with you until the day I die."
Cled smiled and hugged her. He kissed her red lips and they stayed like that for hours.
If Clef has to die, I won't forget about him! Clef is a song that will stay in my heart for ever...Which means ....there is no more death...
~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~""~"~"~"~"~"~The End~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"
