~*~ The Final Battle for Cephiro and a New Beginning ~*~
Chapter 13: A Disappearing Act

**************************************************************************************


As the high counsel met to discuss Clef's intuition, the knights enjoyed time with
their loved ones. Fuu and Ferio discussed their wedding and just spent time together.
Hikaru and Lantis spent time in the garden feeding the birds and just enjoyed each other's
company. Umi convinced Ascot to come with her out to the fields out side of the Castle
to pick wildflowers. They had been out for about an hour, just enjoying the sun and fresh
air. Ascot had been acting strangely for the past fifteen minutes when Umi tugged on his
hand and demanded to know what was bothering him. Blushing, Ascot asked rather
hesitantly, "Umi, are you happy here? With me?" Surprised, Umi blinked rapidly, trying
to understand exactly what he was asking when it hit her. Smiling slightly, she reached
up and laid a hand on his cheek, and whispered, "If you're asking if I miss my world, stop
worrying about it. I would have done anything to return to you. I became an artist
because it was the only thing that reminded me of you. I haven't thought twice since I got
here." Smiling widely, Ascot swept Umi off her feet and kissed her with all the love he
could never express in words. After they had separated, they gazed into each other's eyes
until Umi heard what she thought was a small giggle. Looking to where she had heard
the sound, she silently asked to be put down, and began to go to where the giggle had
originated. Ascot, unknowing of what was happening, just watched her until she got
close to the edge of the forest near by, then he started to follow her. Umi, searching the
dark branches of the trees tried to see if anyone was there. Then she heard it again.
"Fuu-chan?" she called, and the giggle sounded again. Walking within the boundary of
the forest, she promptly vanished from sight. Ascot, seeing this, started at a dead run to
where he had last seen her. "UMI!!" Searching franticly to where she might have gone,
he screamed her name. "UMI!!"
