Together Again: Chapter 1 - The Chase
"Umi Over here! A voice called from the entrance of Tokyo Tower. It was Hikaru with her usual braid. And standing beside her was the grinning Fuu, her curly blonde hair blowing in the wind. Now she doesn't have glasses. (wears contacts - _-). "Hikaru! Fuu! I'm so glad to see you!" Umi said roller blading to them. "You're late, though." Hikaru whined. "Arigato," Umi whispered looking down. "Awww, don't worry about it." Fuu said slapping her on the back. "You're not exactly late according to my watch." Umi looked up smiling. "By the way, what's with all the stuff?" Hikaru asked, *sweat drop* peering at Umi's bag and surfboard. Umi looked at her things then stared at Hikaru's and Fuu's. "Well, excuse me! Why don't you tell about your stuff. It does seem quite heavy, don't you think? Umi asked, her eyes glaring weighing Hikaru's bag and tennis racket. ". . . . well . . . I guess you're right, Umi." Hikaru sighed blushing. Glare. Fuu watched them. *sweat dropping* ". . . um . . . Umi, Hikaru . . . don't you guys think we should be going now?" Fuu asked rubbing the back of her head. "We're attracting some unwanted attention here." Umi and Hikaru abruptly stopped arguing and looked around to see a gang of three boys heading in their direction. "Eek! Run for it!" Umi shouted, running towards the elevator. Fuu and Hikaru followed close behind. Cramming into the elevator, Umi pressed the close button. When the door shut, they heard voices and banging. "Hey don't be scared. We won't hurt you." One voice cooed. "Yeah! You don't want to hide from this handsome face." Another voice called. "Shut up! It's too late for that! Let's go up the stairs and grab those chics!" the third voice yelled. "Uh oh. Looks like we're being followed." Fuu notified as they neared the top of Tokyo Tower. "We better will ourselves to Cephiro quick." Hikaru said in chibi form. Beep. They reached their destination. "Come on!" Umi directed, roller blading to the edge of the railing. Fuu and Hikaru went after her. Umi slipped off her roller blades and attached it to her bag. Grabbing her surfboard, she jammed it between her bag and back. "Hey! There they are!" shouted one of the guys earlier. "Get 'em!" another yelled lunging for the girls. "They can't escape now. Heh, heh, heh," the third laughed evilly. The girls ran trying to get out of reach but Umi slipped under the railing, hanging by one hand. Her things had fallen on to the floor. "Umi!" Hikaru panicked, struggling to pull her up. "Hikaru don't worry about it. we'll just will ourselves to Cephiro right now." Umi grinned weakly. "Alright Umi." Fuu nodded, closing her eyes. At the exact moment, two of the boys knocked Fuu and Hikaru out of Umi's reach. "UMI!" they cried. She began to slip when a pair of strong arms embraced her, pulling her to safety. "Phew! That was close, huh?" said a voice. It happened to be one of the boys. He had long cut blonde hair and his eyes were a silver/gold color. His smile was irresistible. Umi fell into a deep trace, her eyes interlocked with his. 'This guy, he reminds me about Eagle.' Umi thought shaking herself. "You know, you really remind me about someone." Umi blushed, realizing she was in his arms. "Hmmm, interesting." He thought aloud. "Well you also remind me of someone, also. I just don't know who." Umi tried to stand up because he was holding her. (Oh my O_O)! She even tried to sit up, but he refused to let go, for some reason. He seemed to have known her before, but . . . . it couldn't be him or could it, "Um . . . would you mind letting me go now?" Umi asked blushing furiously. "Huh? . . . . oh, sorry about that," he replied also blushing. Standing, she spotted Fuu and Hikaru. They were deep in conversation with the two other boys.
Umi's POV
Strange. The day we decide to return to Cephiro, they come across. They all look similar to Eagle, Ferio, and Lantis. I'm thinking this has something to do with Cephiro, but how? The blonde looks almost exactly like Eagle Vision. Oh well. At least I have someone on earth that reminds me of him.
End of Umi's POV
"So, where are guys headed?" the blonde asked staring at Umi. "Somewhere you wouldn't know." Umi replied. "I bet I know though. You're going to another world." He smiled winking. Umi just stared ready to faint. 'This can't be! How does he know!?" Umi thought shivering slightly. "Are you cold?" he asked wrapping his arms around her from behind. "No, just thinking." Umi said surprised. Smack! He landed a soft feathery kiss on her cheek. (Oo, Oo, Oo! *.*)! "So what's your name?" he asked smirking. "Umi. Rayuuzaki, Umi." Umi answered. "Yep. I know I've heard that name before." ".. You've heard of my name before?" "Sure I have." "How?" ".. It's because I know you already." "And how do you know me?" "Umi, I'm Eagle." ".. WHAT?!" "Yeah, yeah, you heard me alright." "How did you get here?" "We willed ourselves here and with the help from Ascot. He summoned us." ".. Where's Ascot then?" "He's waiting for us to return, so shall we?" "Um .. alright."
Eagle grasped Umi's hand, causing her to blush. Turning towards the two other boys, who were Lantis and Ferio, he beckoned for them. "Hikaru and Fuu. We won't be going back to Cephiro alone." Umi said. "Huh?" "That's Lantis and Ferio." "Hallelujah! I've been dying to see you! But how did you ever get here?" Hikaru asked Lantis, chibi form. "I'll explain later, Hikaru." Lantis promised her. Fuu was speechless, but Ferio seemed to understand and wrapped her in his arms. "Since we're wearing earth clothes, you probably didn't recognize us." Ferio told Umi, Fuu and, Hikaru. They nodded. Then Umi swung her things around her shoulder. Glancing to the left, she saw the three silhouettes behind a wide pole. She only caught a glimpse of a boy with spiky white/black hair. They seemed to be spying on them, but she didn't mind it much. "Lets go to Cephiro together." Umi said, breaking her gaze from the strange shadows. All of them, holding holds, willed themselves back to Cephiro. Meanwhile, those shadows came out of their hiding place. They represented three odd looking boys.
