Disclaimer: Ok. The boring stuff first. I DON`T OWN MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH!!! Now, are you sure you understood? If not, please read the sentence again.

I know that it's not necessary to say that in the beginning of every chapter, but it's just to keep the stupid people safe. (I'm not talking about you… I hope)

Yeah, it's been a while… Hey… Wait, it's been over two weeks!! O.O I'm so ashamed… You may flame me for that. This is probably going to be a LONG authors note because of all the explaining I've got to do…

Ok. To see why this took me so long, check my profile. You should check it once in a while, ´cause I'm updating it so you don't have to wait for the next chapter to see what has happened if I haven't wrote for a "long" time. I'm just trying to keep you happy. *puppy dog eyes* Heh! ^^;

And now on to the whole title- changing thing. I changed the first title (Umi&Clef, a lovestory) `cos it was a very boring title (my thanks to a n g e l. w 1 n g). The second title (One true, torturing love) was, at least I think so, too angst- like.

Was that everything? Oh yeah, I want to thank all the nice people that reviewed! THANK YOU!!!!! Multiply that with a million… I just love reviews…

Well, I´ll just start writing the story now. Thoughts are in italics. Hope you like my story!

One true love ch. 3

She was falling. She flew through the air. She tried to scream, but she couldn't. It was almost like she didn't exist. She couldn't see anything. It was so silent. She could only hear her heart racing… The only thing she felt on her skin was the cool breeze. But inside she felt the tearing sadness and endless despair.

Umis eyes flew open. She was panting. She had been having dreams like this since she fell from the cliff. It had affected her worse than it had first seemed. She had seemed to be ok for a few days, but then she collapsed. She couldn't eat or laugh or do anything at all that she would've enjoyed.

She looked out of her window. It was early morning and the sun was rising. The beautiful sight wiped all her sadness and despair, at least for a moment. But soon her face went darker and the light in her eyes faded. She walked back to her bed and sat down. She pulled herself back a little, leaned to the wall and bent her knees so that she could wrap her arms around them. She started to hum weakly. She swayed as her voice got more powerful. Finally she stopped and fell to her bed, burying her face to her pillows. She cried. She cried for the first time, and, somehow, it made her feel better.

For a few days she had just laid on her bed, feeling nothing but something… something that made her feel like choking. She felt trapped. She hadn't let anyone enter her room and she hadn't eaten or drunk anything.

But now she felt better. She even started to feel a little hungry. She watched out of her window and felt something good in her heart. She felt hope.

"Umi! Please, let me in!"

It was Clef. Since she felt better, she walked to the door and opened it.

"Hi Clef"

"Umi… How are you feeling?"

She looks so tired… But then he saw the fire in her eyes, the one that she used to have before her collapse.

"I'm… feeling better now…"

"Umi, you've been crying… I can see it from your eyes."

Umi didn't say anything, she went to her bed and sat down. Clef followed her after a moment.

"I… feel better"

"I believe you, Umi…

Clef whispered her name, tenderly. Umi sighed. It was a very strange, but beautiful moment. They both sat there, thinking.

"Clef… I'm hungry. Can we go and get something to eat?"

Clef looked up at her and smiled. Umi felt herself slowly starting to smile. She smiled warmly, feeling happy for the first time for a few days. Clef noticed this too and felt joy for her first sign of recovery.

"Of course…"

"I´d like to go out… If that suits you, of course"

"I'm fine with that…"

"Well, I´ll change something suitable on. Can you wait for me outside?"

"Sure."

Clef left the room and leaned to the wall next to the door. He smiled. It's good to see her like that. Smiling… I hope she soon recovers completely.

Umi brushed her hair and opened her wardrobe. She felt a shooting pain in her heart when she saw the shirt she used on the day of her fall. She was almost sinking to the sorrow again, when she heard Clef calling her. She shook her head and picked a dark blue t- shirt and a jean- skirt. (I don't know the real word… or is there one?) Soon she walked out of her room, ready to go.

After a while they were outside, Clef carrying a basket with food in it. Umi was enjoying, she breathed deeply and looked around. She smiled happily.

"Where should we go?"

"Hmm… Let's go to the beach!"

Clef nodded and they walked to the beach and placed their blanket to the grass. They ate their food in silence, both lost in their own thoughts. After eating they watched the ocean, still not speaking. Suddenly Umi broke the silence.

"It's beautiful… Isn't it?"

Clef looked at her. He felt his heart starting to beast faster. When he finally talked, he was still watching Umi intently.

"Yes… Beautiful…"

Umi turned her glance to the cliff. She felt a shadow wriggling to her mind. She trembled as if she was cold. She started to cry, silently.

"Umi… what's wrong? Tell me."

"I… I just…"

Clef moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. She was first going to push him away, but then she decided to let him stay. His presence felt consoling.

"I… can't stop thinking about… dying. I wouldn't be able to see my loved ones ever again. I… couldn't… see… you…"

Clefs eyes flew open. He had now decided to tell her about his feelings. He rose up and walked to the front of Umi. He raised her head and made her look into his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, but the got his self- assurance back and lowered his hands on her shoulders and closed his eyes.

"Hush, my love… don't cry…"

It took Umi a while to understand his words. It can't be... It's impossible… This has to be a dream. She felt her heart flutter.

Why isn't she saying anything? I knew that she doesn't love me... But something in her eyes told him that she felt the same.

Clef leaned towards her and closed his eyes. It felt like the whole world would have disappeared when their lips touched. He moved his hands to her waist.

First Umi felt confused, but when she saw Clef approaching she instinctively closed her eyes and opened her lips a little. She felt like hot waves would've rushed to her body. She ran her fingers through his hair.

Now that the dam had broken, it seemed as they couldn't get enough. When they finally broke the passionate kiss, they both felt dizzy and weak.

Clef sat down since his knees couldn't carry him anymore. Inside he felt bubbling joy, he felt strong, like nothing could hurt them.

Umi felt like she could've screamed for joy, like there was nothing in the world that could destroy this moment. She felt a rush of energy after recovering from her weakness. Suddenly she jumped up.

"Clef, come with me!"

First Clef wondered, but then he rose up. Umi took his hand and started to run, dragging Clef with her. She felt perfect. And so did Clef.

They headed for the sea and kicked their shoes off. Soon they waded in the calm ocean. They walked along the coast- line, holding each others hands, side by side.

"Clef…"

"Yes?"

"Promise me one thing…"

"What?"

"Remember me… Even if I'm not by your side…"

"I will… I always will…"
