Chapter Two: A Season Change In Cephiro (Part Two)
By: sailorstarwinter
Gomen for such a long wait for the second part of A Season Change In Cephiro, I have been very busy lately with some things. Most importantly school work and projects that take a long time to finish. So I am very sorry for that long wait I have put you all through.
I had to also update my other fics that I have been writing, so do forgive me on taking so very long. Due to the fact that I am a very busy person, I do hope you understand that I have a very pact schedule. But I hope that you all will enjoy this chapter!
Disclaimer: Like I told you all before I do not own the characters of Magic Knight Rayearth. I do own the story line ((FROM MY DREAMS AND THOUGHTS)), the following characters: Asta, Raja Vision, Cephi Guru, and Sari belong to me.
Summary: Strange things have been happening in the mystical land known as Cephiro; its weather seems quite odd now that it's around the winter season. What's this? It's snowing in Cephiro after one thousand years since it last happened! Plus there seems to be winter romance in the air, the magic knights seem to be drawn to their crushes! Cephi doesn't seem to be herself, no one seems to know why she's like that, but the knights think it has to do with Clef's absence.

"Don't talk like that Raja, I bet Geo does like you.but doesn't know how to tell you as well." Hikaru said kindly in a gentle tone. Raja smiled a bit from the small gesture that her friend made to comfort her.
"You really think so Hikaru?" Raja asked hopefully that it was true about what Hikaru said about Geo. Ever since she met Geo though her brother long ago she had a crush on him even when she was tending to work.
"I'm positive." Hikaru said cheerfully and laughed as she saw the two men brawling it out in a fashionable fistfight. Raja joined her laughter as they watched then decided to stop them from hurting each other more.

"Okay.boys stop fighting now." Hikaru and Raja said to them when they walked up to the two friends fighting each other. Both women laughed at their guilty expressions when they stopped.
"See Lantis it's all your fault." Geo whispered to him as they bowed to the two women to forgive their actions.
"My...fault no...it was yours baka no Geo." Lantis whispered back to Geo. Hikaru hugged Lantis and smiled. Lantis was shocked when Hikaru hugged him, but after awhile he hugged her back.
While Raja was just standing there not sure of what to do, Geo just sat there on the grass just watching Raja, if you looked closely you could see a faint blush on his face. Both Autozam commanders didn't know what to say to each other, they just stayed there in complete silence. Hikaru and Lantis watched the two with amused looks on their faces, at the very same time the thought the same thing: Must get those two to confess their feelings for each other.
"Geo.you won't start another glaring contest with Lantis-san now would you?" Raja asked with out looking at Geo.
"No I won't.I promise Raja." He said smiling at her and she smiled back at him, both were equally a shade of the same flushed red. Although to any onlooker you could say that those too were really made for each other but really didn't know it.

Just then a shriek was heard, it came from Asta she was pretty pissed off at something that every one knew who was in trouble for. Ascott was dogging his sisters lighting bolts that was being shot at him. Umi sweat dropped at the two siblings fighting each other again for the second time this morning.
"ASCOTT! COME BACK HERE YOU LIL SNICH!" Asta yelled and sent another lighting bolt straight at her younger brother.
"Come on...Asta...I'm sorry okay...it was an accident!" Ascott said getting zapped by the bolt. Then fell to the ground, covered in black ash marks from his eldest sisters' attack.
The young woman named Asta had long honey brown hair in a loose ponytail tied with a dark blue ribbon around it. She looked around the age of twenty-one but her looks made her look like a nineteen year old. Asta had a personality of ice when you would first get to know her, but after awhile she would open up to you a little.
"That's what you get for messing up my books and scrolls on the table..you almost burnt them to a crisp!" Asta said to him completely satisfied with what she did to her brother.
"Asta couldn't you have just grounded him and not burn him to a crisp like your scrolls?" A familiar voice spoke with a deep masculine tone that made Asta blush very much although she wouldn't admit it to anyone that she liked any one she wanted to maintain her image in front of the others not just only being known as Ascott's elder sister.
"RaFarga, it would not be much fun nor would it teach him his lesson from doing something like that again." Asta said bluntly as she checked on her brother once more to see if he was okay. She started to heal him with her magical ability to heal some one fully when needed, although there was a catch to it: if she used it too much then she would collapse and fall unconscious after using so much of her energy to heal.
Ascot sat up rubbing his head; he looked at his sister with a look as if it could kill her. Asta glared at him, she could hit him with another lightning bolt but didn't want to risk the chance of him going into shock. The two siblings just stayed there glaring at each other ready to pounce on the other if needed be. RaFarga sighed at the two, he knew it would be impossible for them to ever get along but he hoped that they would at least stop these childish antics soon. But even if he did make her stop, it wouldn't make the woman he loved the way he loved her. It was true that he loved Asta since the day he saw her in her villa home though the open window of the kitchen.
"RaFarga are you okay? Your turning slightly red and your warmer than usual, that's it off to bed for you!" Asta said as she felt his forehead then grabbed his hands leading him back inside. Every one watched the two leave, Hikaru giggled she knew that Asta had feelings for him but never told him.
'Go get your man Asta.' Hikaru thought as she watched her friend leave, 'Better tell him your feelings soon.' That just left Hikaru with a huge smile on her face, which made Lantis curious to just as what she was smiling about so much. All she did was just shake her head to him as if saying she'd explain to him later on.

'Clef-kun.please comes home soon.' Cephi thought to herself as she waited for every one to settle in before starting. She knew that it would be a while longer before he would return from Fahren. But just wished that time would go by faster that way she could see him and be with him. She walked to her chair by the fountain and sat down looking up at blue sky. The only thing on her mind was Clef, no one else but him. Cephi knew that he wished for the same thing it was like she could feel it in her heart.
Cephi clapped her hands so that she would get everyone's attention, making all three Magic Knights look at her giving the woman the chance to speak and begin the meeting that they came here for that happened every once in a while. "Let us begin this meeting we all have gathered here for, I rather not waste our precious time we have here this midday." Cephi said in her sweet gentle voice that it sounded like she was actually singing instead of talking.
"Yes, let us start Lady Cephi." Raja said as Geo sat next to her nodding. Both Autozam military officers listened to what was being discussed. Though out the meeting that they were here for since it had to do with their planet as well. Just as everyone else listened to the suggestions made or made some kind of suggestion on some kind of situation. Most of all they discussed about the conditions on their home planet Autozam, the condition of their atmosphere.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
On Fahren, Clef Guru, was busy discussing thing with Princess Aska on how Autozam was faring in their atmosphere conditions. Through out the whole meeting he was thinking of Cephi and how she was doing back on Cephiro.
"Princess Aska, I am thankful that you were able to meet with me despite the fact that your father is ill at the moment." Clef said with deep respect to the young princess of Fahren.
The princess Aska of Fahren looked nothing more than only a ten-year- old child, but despite her appearance that made her look like a child she was actually a fourteen-year old girl. She wore her long black hair up in two cones, while her bangs were spread out evenly. Aska was a very foolish girl sometimes but she matured over the years after the invasion they had proposed on Cephiro, she realized the errors of her way part way though the battle.
"I'm glad you could come Guru Clef, although I wish I could have seen your wife again; a one of a kind woman." Aska said as she motioned for her servants to bring her tea, " My people have been doing very well since the time we've attacked Cephiro, now that the four worlds are now becoming close and are improvising on our systems."
"Yes speaking of my wife, she and the others should be having their meeting today." Clef said, "She is a brilliant woman, a bit stubborn too, but I know her better than any one else not only because I'm her husband." Aska nodded understanding, after a while they walked down the hallway of the palace into the huge indoor garden talking about business matters between the four planets and how they could try to solve some of the problems they faced on the planets.

Back on Cephiro, it was already nightfall and the meeting had ended already, Umi was busy tending to Ascot's burnt robes as he paced about the room they shared ever since he told her that he loved her just two years ago. Both shared deep feelings for one another but really couldn't tell each other all those times because they were scared of the rejection from the other, now they were married and had two sons.
"Ascot, you really sure be more careful when playing pranks on your sister you have to remember she's older than you even though you're a bit taller than her." Umi said softly as she mended his robes while he paced about the room, it was highly unusual for Umi to even see Ascot ever pace about the room unless he'd be deep in thought of something or it had to be of great thought of making a decision.
"Umi haven't you noticed that my sister has been starting to act more and more odd each day." Ascott said as he paced about the room for the twentieth time that evening in their room. He looked up at her every now and then as if he was pausing in his thoughts.
Umi looked up from her mending with a raised eyebrow towards her husband, "Well, maybe it hasn't occurred to you that your sister has indeed found some one to be with." She watched his reaction to what was just said a moment about his sister being in love with some one and he hadn't noticed it.
Ascot raised an eyebrow at her then frowned slightly at the thought of who could most likely win the heart of his elder sister. He dismissed the thought of all the village suitors that tried to win the heart of his sister but they never did get though that cold exterior of her icy heart. Umi just smiled at him as she watched the play of emotions go though his face from shock to curiousness to anger to bitterness and so much more that she could just come up with from the top of her head.
"You need to calm down more Ascot, dear, you'll wake Ryo and Shoji." She said calmly as she finished making the last stitches on his robes and held it out to him "Here it's all fixed Ascot, this time try not to get it torn again."
"Ah.yes, wouldn't want to wake up the children now would we?" he laughs slightly as he set his now mended robe aside, which made her smile and nod to him. Ascott knew how Umi felt about having such loud commotions going on when their two kids were asleep, because if they woke up the wouldn't go back to bed.
"We should be getting to sleep ourselves Ascott, that meeting took a lot out of us, really it did since you look like your about to collapse at any second." Umi said as she looked at him, she too was tired out from not only attending the meeting that afternoon but from watching her slightly energetic kids. Although she couldn't complain that she didn't enjoy spending time with her kids, they just some times just tired her out too much that she could just collapse to the ground after awhile.
"Mm.we should get to sleep I'm too tired to even think about anything else for the night any way." He laughed dryly at his remark as he climbed into the bed and laid down on his side of the bed, "Don't even think of trying to pull one of your tricks again like you did two mornings ago.that wasn't even funny making me think you some how got eaten by Mokona."
This got a laugh out of Umi as she walked over to the bed; she removed the blue headband that held her blue hair back which now fell to her waist. Her light sea green nightgown moved around a little as she walked but not by much though, it looked like she was swimming in the sea though just by the look of it. Shaking her head she climbed into bed smiling at him she leaned over and kissed his forehead then turned to her side and drifted off to sleep.
Sighing slightly Ascot snapped his fingers making the lights of their room go out, then he too fell asleep but he pulled Umi closer to him as he draped one arm around her waist protectively like he always has done over the past years since they've been married.

Raja and Geo spent their time talking in their connected guest rooms, although the two didn't mind at all seeing that they were sharing an apartment room back on Autozam for awhile it didn't bother them at all at the arrangement. But the only thing different thing different about it was that the rooms were bigger and a little bit more fancy than the military apartment rooms they used since they were of higher rank.
"I do hope that father got the message that we've arrived here safe and all, I wouldn't want him to start a war or anything over something so trivial." Raja said as she sipped her tea.
Geo nodded, "I'm sure he did, don't worry about it so much Raja he knows that your in good hands besides I wouldn't let nothing happen to you anyway." He smiled and took a sip of his tea as well, "Now what kind of high ranking officer would I be if I didn't help out a fellow ranking officer?"
This made her laugh slightly at his small joke that was made, "Well that would make you a horrible ranking officer then." She smirked as she set her cup down, "Although I druther think that Eagle will say something of the different matter on the subject but I won't say anything on that I can just hear what my brother is going to say to you." She shook her head slightly making some of her bangs of her hair get in the way of her eyes a little.
