T-chan: Takeharu!!!!!!!!!
Summon: Oh will you shut up?! He doesn't even know you!!!
T-chan:cries
Summon: What an idiot.
Umi stood in the middle of the hallway, flabbergasted of what she saw.
"Ascot." she quietly whispered, "What happened to you? Your eyes. they've changed. They no longer have serenity or innocence. Now, they are empty and heartless." Umi plodded back to her room, thinking only about her encounter with Ascot. "Why the name 'Shinos'? What do you mean by 'your kin called me Shinos?' I don't understand."
Shinos's POV I slowly walk into my home, an abandoned shack on one of Cephiro's most isolated areas. I saw her again. Meya. She doesn't remember me but I remember her clearly.
FLASHBACK "Come on Shinos, you can do this," whispered a little girl to my ear. Her cerulean eyes didn't stray away from mine. I pushed myself up; bearing the pain that was bolting through my entire body.
"Meya! How many times have I told you never to talk to the Shinos?!" yelled a voice that could never be erased from my memories. "Go! Father and Mother are awaiting your presence!" Meya shook her head. She always wanted to be near me. She was my only friend aside from Naru. Meya took care of my wounds and protected me from her older sisters.
"No!" she answered stubbornly, "I'm not leaving Shinos!" I smiled at her love for me. I slowly marched towards her sister, Tashimi.
"It's alright Ms. Meya," I said with weariness in my voice, "Besides; I have been getting awfully lazy. It's alright." I turned around and smiled at her. She gazed at me with her cerulean eyes.
"Okay. I'll be watching," she replied.
Tashimi. That name haunted me. She was my master, along with Marine. They rescued me from Cephiro and brought me here in Quatren. They nourished me and cared for me but in return I had to obey their commands. They taught me how to fight and use weapons at an early age. They were the ones who introduced me to Meya.
The only thing I wanted though was my younger sister Naia. At least she would be able to stay with me wherever I go. But she had to move to the planet they call 'Earth'.
Naia was my younger sister. We spent only a small portion of our childhood together but we were always together until the day she left for Earth. Since then, Meya was the only person I was always with.
END OF FLASHBACK
I laughed and said, "Now Meya, you have fallen in love with Clef. You deserted me when I needed you the most. Naru was right. Only Naia would have the heart to stay with me. She comforted me, loved me, and didn't think of me as a boy, even for my age, but as a man.
Fuu's POV I heard an explosion minutes ago and went out of my room. I ran to where it came from and saw Umi walking away. I ran to her side and asked what happened.
"It's horrible!" she yelled dropping down to her knees and crying.
I patted her back and said, "What happened?" She looked up at me and smiled.
"You're such a great friend Fuu," she whispered, "Unlike me." I slowly hugged her.
"Umi, you've always been a good friend," I uttered, "Why are you saying these things?" She stared at me with her watery, blue eyes. "Ascot. I. I killed him."
I looked at her with bewilderment. "What do you mean 'I killed him'?"
"A man. A man by the name of Shinos came." My eyes widened by the sound of that name.
Normal Narration Fuu was speechless. She hasn't heard that name for a very long time.
FLASHBACK "Hey Naia!" yelled a young, brown-haired boy. He had green eyes like his younger sister but they were much brighter. Their shine told of some hidden power within the young child. His sister, a gentle young girl, turned around. Tears made her pale green eyes reddish. "What's wrong Naia?" asked the young boy.
"Ascot, I'm sorry. I have to go to Earth," said Naia tearing up. She ran to Ascot and embraced him. "O-nii-chan! I don't want to go! I want to stay with you!" The boy was surprised. He couldn't bear the thought of losing his little sister.
"It's alright," he said comforting his sibling, "We'll see each other again. I promise." The little girl looked up at her older brother and smiled.
"Promise." she echoed.
END FLASHBACK
"Shinos," whispered Fuu, "I never thought I'd hear that name ever again." Umi looked at her.
"What was that?" she asked. Fuu shook her head slowly. "Are you sure Fuu?" Fuu silently nodded.
"It's nothing Umi," said Fuu with a stern look on her face. Umi sensed trouble but didn't ask anything else.
"Why don't we go back to our rooms and get some rest," suggested Umi who pretended to be really tired.
"I guess so," replied Fuu. The two of them departed from each other's presence and went to their rooms.
Umi walked steadily towards not her room but the courtyard. She loved strolling in the gardens whenever she wanted to either think about something or just to be alone. Although she does this whenever she wants privacy, she always ended up bumping into Ascot and instead, they would spend the time together. Umi smiled from her memories. She loved just spending her free time with Ascot. Even if they did always see each other everyday, they hardly had time to just say a hello to each other. Umi continued walking, reminiscing the lovely memories she has of her beloved friend.
Soon after recalling hundred of memories, Umi reached the center courtyard. She stepped inside and saw the same hooded person she saw earlier. Her eyes widened and she whispered, "I thought you left." The man directed his attention to her.
"Yes I did. But after thinking it over, I decided to come back just to check on Naia."
"I'm sorry but there's no-one in this entire castle by the name of Naia," said Umi as she stood at the entrance of the court. She stepped inside without thinking of what dangers the uninvited stranger might possess.
"That's what you think," argued Shinos as he took off his hood and cloak, "You don't seem to know many things about the past of others or of yourself."
"What do you mean?"
"It's simple, really," laughed Shinos. He stood up and stared up at the darkened night sky in a manner like Ascot's gesture, "Have you ever asked Fuu if she was born in Japan or where she grew up during the first few years of her life?" Umi thought for a while and finally shook her head. Shinos snickered. "Well, why don't you ask her sometime? It might be worth it." Shinos turned around to leave but Umi stopped him.
"Wait," she said stepping forward, "Please. please tell me what happened to my friend Ascot." Shinos turned around with his eyes blazing.
"So you have the courage to question me, rat. I didn't think you would even bother," growled Shinos. Umi swallowed hard and nodded once. "Well," he continued, "I guess it wouldn't hurt. You see, Ascot has had this aching for a very long time but he would never admit it to anyone but Caldina and Naia. It was a shame too. Without admitting it, I would just be trapped inside the darkest parts of his heart. But finally, after seeing you betray him, he finally gave up and allowed me to take over. And that body you saw, that was his essence. It was the essence that prevented me from taking over."
Umi staggered back and said, "Betray? What do you mean? I would never hurt Ascot." Shinos laughed heavily.
"That's where you'll always be wrong. You've been hurting him ever since you 'befriended' him."
"That's not true!" barked Umi, "I will never hurt my friends, especially him!"
Shinos grinned maliciously and replied, "You know nothing about Ascot." Shinos sighed and continued, "Look at the time. I'll be going now Meya. Goodbye." Shinos leaped up to the open ceiling and blended with the darkness. Umi stared up at the twinkling stars, watching the mysterious stranger disappear.
"Shinos, I have a feeling that we will see each other again very soon," she whispered as she turned around and left for her room.
