A/N: Hi! Now getting on with the story (I already have an outline of it so
I should be updating pretty fast) Anyway for a very brief summary of this
chapter. They meet the guardian of the water jewel and this chapter is
mainly about Umi's test. (I don't know how long this chappie will be) and
the next chappie will be part 2 which is Clef's test. The next two chappies
will be mainly Umi and Clef (as make for the last chapter sigh` it was just
too boring but I needed to explain everything or the readers wouldn't know
what was going on.(audience: You just put that up to torture the poor
innocent readers! (Author turns around and asks sweetly: did you say
something?) okay so after the next chappie, the next two will be for Lantis
and Fuu and Ferio then back to Umi and Clef again. Anyway let's quit the
ranting before I bore the pants of you and you fall asleep! So here's
chappie 6!
Chappie 6: Guardian of the Water Jewel; Umi's test!
Clef woke up his head searing with pain. He saw Umi lying a few feet away from and reached out and shook her gently. She stirred and asked," What happened?" Clef did not respond. His eyes were on a structure some 50 feet away from them. Floating on top was a jewel! Umi noticed what Clef was looking at and gasped. The building had a teardrop shaped jewel on it drawing herself up she gazed in wonder.
" No wonder why Kyuko wanted it." Clef come beside her and kissed her on the neck," Yes. and for their power. Now let's stop wasting time and go in for the test.
They walked up taking all their belongings with them. As they reached the threshold. Clef stopped and held Umi back. They kissed each other long and hard. When they finally broke for air, Clef whispered in Umi's ear," Good luck my love."
"You too." They stepped in. At first it seemed as if there was no one around, just like it was deserted. Suddenly a bright blue aurora flashed around the too cold, yet warm at the same time.
" So the knight of water and Master mage.Welcome. I am the Guardian of the water jewel. You have come for it right? No matter who you are, you must take the test. I can make no exceptions."
The guardian's voice seemed to come from everywhere as if it had no origin. Umi and Clef nodded, they understood. Now they braced themselves for the test.
" Ah. I see you trembling.There is no need to fear or you will not make it through.The test consists of your deepest fears. If you say anything during the test. I will be forced to kill you. No matter how bad it gets, you both must last through of you will not complete your quest or receive the jewel. Magic Knight of Water. You are first."
Umi got up. Clef gave her one last kiss before parting and whispered," Good luck."
Umi walked into a pitch-black room. A snap of someone's fingers was heard and the test began.
Umi walked down a corridor and saw Clef kissing a girl( A/N: Aren't I mean?^_^(oww. no need to throw tomatoes!) Umi saw them and gasped. "Clef. How could you?" Clef looked at her coldly and said," I never loved you I did it because you were a Magic Knight. I thought you were a spoiled , self- centered bitch!" Umi ran down a room and disappeared.(A/N: the bold words. the Umi in the bold words isn't the real Umi, it's just what she sees in the images.) the images faeded and formed into Fuu and Hikaru they looked at her, coldly staring at her their voices distant saying, How could you Umi?! Why did you betray us? As the images got larger, the bloodstains on their clothes also did too, they just kept repeating Why Umi, why??" The real Umi held her head the mental and emotional pain getting to her; Umi bit her lip hard until it bled. And willed herself not to cry out in rage and sorrow.The images faded and formed into something else. her family formed in front of her. she saw her failing grades, and her parents were getting divorced (A/N: Are they divorced??) and she was being disowned. she was horrible in class and she was a failure.the images faded again and started to form into something. Umi felt tears rush down her face. She wanted to cry out but knowing she would have failed everyone and left Clef was enough to stop her. She braced herself for more torment kneeling on the floor. And wondering how much more could she take: the images formed into a deserted Cephiro she saw death everywhere, and then she saw them. Fuu Ferio, Hikaru, Lantis, And Clef.. Everyone she cared for all dead! And she had failed them! Umi collasped. It was becoming too much for her to bear. Then suddenly, the images disappeared. And she heard a voice.
" Well done little one. I was there part of the time. Your are the first to ever pass my test.Now master Mage. it is your turn.
A/N: Yawn* It's 12:11AM right now and I have school tomorrow. Oh well. My teachers are nuts anyway. Sorryy about the Umi bashing But it was Part of the test also..I feel too tires to type anymore and I still have to post this so there won't be a Preview of the next chapter. Anyway tune in next time for Chappie 7:Guardian of the Water Jewel; Clef's test! (yawnnn) Ja ne. R&R.
