Summon: Ummm. OK. What to say? Uhhh well. First of all, thanx for all the
reviews. I appreciate it. Second, I got the LAST manga volume of MKR! Yes!
Third, I hate my damn comp! Can't get the net working either.
T-chan: Was that really necessary? I mean, who would care?
Summon: I would cause I won't be able to update.
T-chan: I think I speak for everybody when I say that that would be a good
thing.
Summon: Fine. Let's just get this over with.
Clef embraced Umi for a short time. Umi felt warm with Clef holding her. She wished that she could let go of him right then and there but it would break her heart badly. Silence had surrounded them until Clef finally spoke up.
"Umi, please tell me that you don't love me anymore. My heart is burdened with the thought of you heart broken because I refused your love. You don't know how dear you are to me. I wish I can just tell you that I love you but." He stopped his sentence short as soon as Umi kissed him gently. Clef broke the kiss and turned away.
"I'm sorry," muttered Umi as she turned away, embarrassed and ashamed. Clef directed her head to face him and smiled. Umi stared at his twinkling eyes.
Clef nodded his head and whispered, "It's alright Umi. Why don't you go get some sleep? We've all been through so much today. You should at least try to relax." Umi looked at him and smiled.
"Thank you," she mumbled and she paced back towards her room, leaving Clef watching her. Clef went back inside the room and started comforting Kenae once more.
Umi's POV Memories I mournfully walked down the long, dark corridor leading to my room.
'What's wrong with you?' I thought to myself. 'You're a wreck. What's happening?'
"I. I. I don't know," I heard myself say, "I have this pain in my chest that increases the more I think about Ascot. Even if I try not to think about him, my heart tightens more. I don't know what's happening!" At that moment, I suddenly felt my legs fall under me and I dropped on my knees. I closed my eyes and a memory of Ascot came flooding into my head.
FLASHBACK The rain pattered against my window. It was raining hard today and Hikaru and Fuu were out with their boyfriends. I was left alone and I had nothing to do but watch the rain outside. Suddenly, a knock came from my door so I stood up and opened it. Ascot stood in front of me, smiling and holding a small package.
"Hello Umi," he greeted blushing. "I thought you might be lonely and so I came and brought a snack." I smiled at him and allowed him to come in. He placed the package down on a table and took a seat on a chair.
"So." I hesitated, "What did you prepare?"
Ascot blushed for a moment. I loved that blush. Those soft, smooth cheeks that burn crimson every time I'm near him. That blush that would melt the sorrow in my heart away. How innocent he looked whenever he blushed.
"Well. um. Fuu told me that you liked something called 'spaghetti'. I asked her to teach me how to make it so now I prepared some," he said looking at the package. I looked at the package and then smiled at Ascot. His blush darkened and smiled back. I opened the package and saw a very appetizing spaghetti dish.
"Wow! It looks really good Ascot. Thanks!" I said beaming at him.
END OF FLASHBACK
"That's really compassionate of you Ascot," I silently whispered to the air in front of me. Then softly, I held up my hand, pretending that he was there. As I closed my eyes, gentle tears hurried down my cheek. I reminisced the times the two of us had together. I stood up and walked slowly back to my room.
As I strolled down the corridor, I heard a loud explosion like walls had suddenly blew up. I drew out my sword a ran to the source of the bang.
Normal Narration The moment Umi got to the area of the detonation, a hooded figure stood in the middle of the walkway as the dust cleared off. It directed its head upon Umi's position and grinned with malice.
"I've been waiting for you, Meya," said a very familiar voice.
Umi clenched her sword tight and asked, "Who are you and who is this 'Meya'?" The hooded figure laughed wickedly.
"I see you don't recognize me," it uttered without answering any of Umi's questions. "Let me give you a better view." With that, it took of its cloak and revealed.
"Ascot?!" shouted Umi. Ascot laughed again. "I. I. I thought you were dead!" yelled Umi. 'It is Ascot and yet, his eyes. his eyes have changed,' thought Umi, 'They don't have that sense of innocence but a sense of emptiness.'
Ascot stopped laughing but a grin remained fixed on his face. He nodded his head and replied, "You may call me Ascot, Meya. I see you don't remember me. And yes I am dead. at least the part of me whom you call 'Ascot'."
Bewildered by what he said, Umi asked, "What do you mean 'the part of you'? Aren't you Ascot?"
Ascot snickered and answered, "I was once called 'Ascot' but your kin called me 'Shinos'. Don't you remember Meya?" Instantly after he said this, he disappeared. Umi ran to where he was last standing and looked around.
"What can he mean?," she muttered.
Summon: That was crap. I don't even know what the hell I'm typing. Well whatever. If you like it, review. If you don't, then shut up and keep it to yourself. T-chan: That was mean. Summon: OK. Just review if you want a continuation and you want to know why Ascot's alive.
