My Best Mistake
Chapter Two
Moonlight Magic
I sighed as I hugged myself. Tears slipped down my pale face.
"I... lost..." I whispered. While I was fighting the Magic Knights, the mecha I was piloting self-destructed. I wasn't badly injured, but my pride was. I had shamed the army and my commander.
"Hikaru?" a voice asked as someone entered my room. I turned my head and wiped some tears from my eyes.
"Yes commander?" I asked. Eagle sat next to me on my bed and pulled my closer. I felt a blush creeping onto my face.
"You did good, don't doubt that. You tried your best and that is all anyone can do. Come with me, we'll go on a walk." Eagle pulled me up.
I sat down on the ships balcony. It was the one place I could come to and think.
"I'm sorry commander, I failed you and the entire crew." More tears slipped down my face. My eyes began to sting from crying. I hated being weak like this in front of my commander.
"Hikaru, please stop calling my commander. My name is Eagle." He sighed.
"Yes Mr. Vision."
"My name is Eagle."
"Yes Eagle-sama."
"Hikaru, just call me Eagle-kun, okay?"
"O-Okay... Eagle-kun." He smiled at me. I felt my pulse start racing. Before I knew It, our faces were just inches apart.
"Yo Eagle!" we both jerked back blushing fiercely. Zazu blinked.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Nothing!" Eagle replied sharply and walked to his room. I sighed.
"Hika-chan, you look cute tonight." Zazu smiled at me. I could smell lots of alcohol on his breath.
"Thank you Zazu-san." I didn't hold Zazu in high respect like Eagle and Geo.
"Hika-chan, lets do something." He said and quickly advanced towards me. I blinked and backed away slightly.
'Stupid drunk.' I thought.
"Zazu-san, don't call me Hika-chan. My name is Hikaru." I snapped.
"How about Karu-chan?" he slurred.
"My name is Hikaru." I said firmly. Zazu smiled strangely and pinned me to the wall.
"What are you doing?" I asked and glared at him. I kicked him as hard as I could, making him double over in pain.
"Oww!" he shrieked. I broke free from his hold and ran. Suddenly, I fell to the floor.
"Your not going anywhere." He spat between gasp. I felt a little scared, but I didn't show it.
"You touch me and you'll regret it!" I screamed. Zazu reached down and started trying to take my dress off.
"Stupid drunk!" I yelled as he pinned me to the floor and laid on top of me.
"Hmm... I'm not a stupid drunk!" he punched me in the face, leaving a small bruise.
"Help!" I cried out as Zazu hit me again, this time in the stomach. The door opened and someone ran into the area.
"Ofph!" Zazu rolled over unconscious. A pair of strong arms pulled my into a tight embrace. I felt my body raking with sobs.
"Shh... it is okay Hikaru." A soft voice whispered.
"Eagle... I'm glad you got here when you did." I sobbed. I couldn't control my emotions. They just ran free.
"It is okay, your fine now."
Weeks turned into months and months into a year. I sat on the ridge drinking coffee. Zazu had apologized to me and I told him it was alright. I knew he was drunk, so I couldn't blame him too much.
"Good news," Geo said to Eagle, who sat across from me, "The Magic Knights have returned to their own world. That ball of fluff turned out to be the creator. He stopped Cephiro from crumbling cause of her." He pointed at me. I blinked.
"Why me?" I asked. Geo shrugged, but Eagle had a trouble look.
"Soon..." he whispered. Geo looked at him.
"Eagle... I got your life data test results back." He smiled.
"You no longer are sick. Everything is fine." Eagle looked up, a small smile on his lips.
"But... how could this have happened?"
I gazed out of the window on the balcony.
"Hikaru Shidou, Magic Knight of Fire." I heard a voice behind me.
"Eagle?"
"I have been lying to you... but now you must learn the truth. You are not a sub-commander for the Autozam Army. You are the Magic Knight of Fire. Your home world is Earth. The reason Cephiro is safe is because your subconscious mind protected it with your will power. I am cured because you wished for it somehow." He looked down. A flood of memories engulfed me.
"Why did you lie to me Eagle?" tears brimmed me eyes. He looked away.
"Well, now that you know, you are free to go if you wish." His voice was sad, I could hear it, I felt a lump in my throat as I thought of Umi and Fuu.
"Eagle..." I stood up and sat down next to him. He looked up and then looked away. I sighed softly and reached up to turn his head towards me.
"Eagle..." I whispered and did something I had wanted to do for awhile. I kissed Eagle Vision softly on the lips. It was barely a brush, but it was enough. Eagle smiled softly and pulled me onto his lap.
"Hikaru... I-"
"Shh." I said and wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him down for a full kiss. His arms encircled my waist and pulled me closer to his body. He deepened the kiss by laying me down on the bench. I pulled apart and smiled.
"I love you, Eagle Vision of Autozam." I felt tears brim my eyes. There was a bright flash of light. The next thing I knew I was standing at Tokyo Tower, hugging Umi and Fuu.
"Hikaru!"
"Miss Hikaru!"
"Umi, Fuu!" I cried out. I hugged both of them tightly. Tears fell from my eyes. I paused suddenly. Pictures flashed into my mind of everything that had happened. But one thing hit me hard. I saw Lantis and Eagle fighting on the NSX... but then I disappeared. I fought Nova... and we all ended up saying Cephiro.
"How...?" I asked. Umi and Fuu blinked.
"Never mind." My head pounded. Was everything that happened with me and Eagle just a dream?
