Disclaimer: Yes, I own Mkr and all the characters in it!! Ha! You believed it!! Oh… you didn't? Yeah. That's as probable as… as… Mokona being the mighty creator! Heeheehee!! *remembers how things are* Oh yeah… Damn… Well, anyway (I just love that word), if you didn't understand a word from that I here announce: I do not own Magic knight rayearth or any characters in it. Got it?!

Oh whoa… My first fanfic ever… Asmi fans, you should be funning for it, ´cause in my fanfic Ascot just nearly exists… Though I´d say that everyone else should be running for it too… Fluff ahead! If you leave now, you can still be saved! Run! RUN! Oh, just kidding (I'm wacko), heehee… I think that this will be (note the "I think" part) an one chapter -story… If I get obsessed with it I might continue it. Thoughts are made with italics (If my computer finally co- operates with me). I hope that you enjoy my story.

Ps. I did some chances, thanks to a n g e l . w 1 n g who reviewed my story and told me what I should correct. Thank you! *bows*

Ps2. I formatted the damn thing again... I fixed the triple- point- thing, too. (Well, I tried, I'm not sure if it worked)

One true love

How could someone she loved so much cause her such pain and misery? Why did loving him make her feel so bad? Why did her heart feel so small and lonely but at the same time like it could burst out of her chest? She couldn't stop thinking about him. Every little thing that she saw, heard or felt reminded her about him. Every time she saw him, she felt so lonely, longing to throw herself into his arms. But yet she knew that he would never feel the way she felt towards him.

"I've got to get a hold of myself. I can't spend my days dreaming about him." Umi mumbled, but she knew that she couldn't do it. Her longing for Clef wouldn't go away, no matter how much she wanted for it to. At the same time she didn't want to lose the feeling that was nearly driving her mad.

She gave up trying to drive thoughts out of her head and fell to her bed. She stared at the roof above her and started to think about Clef. His silky lavender hair, his blue eyes, his childish, but so adorable appearance, his soothing voice. She could see the image of him in her head. When she thought about it, she didn't think Clef as a child. He had, nevertheless, lived over 700 years. His appearance just gave him a little mysterious shade. He was so cute. To Umi, he most definitely wasn't a child.

Since there was still hours of daylight left, she decided to go to the garden. She left her room and walked in the corridors. It was so silent in there. She tried not to make any noises, ´cause she felt that if she'd brake the silence, something bad would happen. She was so deeply in her thoughts, that she didn't notice someone walking to her direction.

"Oh, hi U-" Clef said with a happy tone in his voice, but was interrupted by Umis shriek.

"Yaaaaaaahhhh!!!" Umi screamed and almost fell down.

Clef was just standing in front of her, looking slightly shocked, but smiling a little. Umi blushed.

"I… sorry, I was just, ehm, thinking about… stuff"

Clef, now almost recovered, shook his head a little.

"It's okay, I was just a little scared. So, tell me, what's so important that you didn't notice me?"

"Oh, it's nothing, really." Said Umi, blushing a little more.

Clef wasn't really convinced, but he saw that Umi didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

"Where were you going?" He asked.

"Eeeehhmmm…" Was all Umi could say, ´cause her memory had totally emptied the moment she saw Clef.

"I… eh, I can't remember where I was going right now… Oh, yes, I was going out!" She felt so stupid.

"I see…"

"Ehm, I should probably be going now, and I guess that you are busy too. I won't bother you anymore."

"No, I don't actually have anything to do. Would you mind if I joined you?" He asked.

"Oh, no, not at all!" She blushed for sounding so enthusiastic.

They didn't say a thing while making their way to the garden. Umi felt Clefs presence very strongly. She started to feel a little uneasy.

"Umi, what's wrong? You seem so bothered. You know, that you can tell me, right?"

Umi was silent for a moment and answered with a tone that was everything but convincing.

"I'm just fine" Just that you are torturing me to insanity with being so nice to me. She thought bitterly.

They sat down on the grass, to a cliff at the seaside. Clef started to hum a soothing tone. Umi started to feel tired and yawned aloud.

"Are you tired?" Clef asked.

"Well, a little maybe" Umi confessed, yawning again.

"Maybe we should go inside" Clef suggested.

"No, I can stay awake. Besides, it's such a great weather out here."

"Yes… It is…" Clef said thoughtfully.

After five minutes of silence she started to really feel sleepy, since she hadn't slept very well during past few nights. Clef noticed this too.

"Maybe you should go inside and get some sleep…"

"No… I´ll just… sleep… *yawn* here" Umi said as she laid her head close to Clef.

She closed her eyes and soon her breathing slowed down. She looks so peaceful. Almost like an angel… lying there… She looks so innocent… I could just sit here forever, watching her… Clef thought as he moved closer to Umi and gently lifted her head to his lap. He started humming once again as he slowly stroke her soft hair. He felt like nothing could hurt Umi as long as he was there by her side.

It was getting dark, Clef was still sitting on the cool grass with Umis head in his lap. Umis breathing changed slightly, she was about to wake up. She yawned silently.

"What… happened?" She asked, still sleepy and a little confused after she noticed that she wasn't lying on her bed.

"You fell asleep" Clef said with a soft voice.

Umi finally opened her eyes. She was staring right into Clefs eyes. His eyes were filled with tenderness and care. There was also a shade of something else.

How can someone have eyes like that? They're so blue… and so beautiful… Umi thought inside her head. She couldn't move, she could hardly breathe. She felt her heart racing. She felt some sort of electricity inside, flowing to her whole body. She felt her own existence weirdly strong. She felt so… alive. Suddenly Clef turned his head away, blushing slightly. Umi had never seen him blush before. But that wasn't important right now. It took her a while to recover from the intense stare, but when she did, she blushed and rose up, even though she would've wanted to lie there for an eternity.

No words were spoken, because neither of them wanted to brake the fragile silence. They walked back to the castle, both thinking about the gaze they had just shared. When it was the time for them to go separate ways, they stopped and just looked each other. Finally they started feeling a little uncomfortable. Both gently blushing they mumbled something like "Good night" and started to walk to different directions. Once more they stopped and turned around to see each other. Their eyes met, but this time they just glanced quickly at each others faces, like they were afraid of braking something.

Umi walked numbly to her room and threw herself into her bed. She felt overflowing joy, but at the same time such distressing emptiness. Finally the joy took over and she started to smile. First she smiled uncertainly, but soon her smile was wide and warm. She buried her face into her pillows and started to laugh. She didn't know what was so funny, she just laughed because she was so happy.

Clef walked to his rooms. He was confused. What is this feeling burning inside my heart? It was just a glance. Why did she look at me like that? He went to bed, but he could not sleep with all the thoughts in his head. He rolled in his bed, but finally gave up trying and just sat up, thinking. Thinking about Umi and the intense look they changed. There was something weird to him in it. He felt so warm, but still, somehow, so cold. He just decided that he should be happy with the things he already had. Even if she would never talk to me again, I would be happy. Just for this feeling she has caused, just for the fact that she exists and I can see her quite often With that he wiped all the coldness from his heart and started to smile.

They both fell asleep, happy, dreaming of each other.

Well, did you like it? Did you? What? Did you? Tell me, NOW!! …ooops… errr… I got a _little_ carried away…

Oh yeah, thanks for bearing the story enough to read it! I'm so happy! *sniffle*

I'm gonna write the second chapter (well, I told you to note the "I think" part…..) soon, even if I didn't get any comments at all. =)

Though I would like to get some reviews. Flame me, praise me or send your ideas to me. ^_^
