C.I.T: Thanks for the reviews!! The chocolate bar is finished now. *Readers look confused* Go see the crap on choccies in the first chappie. And the disclaimer ain't gonna appear again coz I always forget to put it there. The song is 'The Tide is High' by Atomic Kittens. Just for assurance, it is CLEMI (Clef is in his OVA form) but dear Umi ends up with Ascot. *Umi: HEY!* So on with the fic!

Sapphire Wish.

"Captain! There's a hole in the ship! We have to get out of here!" A flustered soldier reported to the composed captain who responded without batting an eyelid. His blue eyes stared stonily at the poor trembling soldier.

"Get the princess to safety, NOW!" his order took the soldier by surprise.

"But-"the pathetic figure sputtered.

"Are you defying my orders?" the cold voice echoed.

"Yes! Right away!" then the soldier scrambled off. Larfage shook his head. All this trouble, for what purpose? Love. Stupid thing actually, having to sacrifice so much for someone. But it was his duty to guard the Princess. So here he was. He went on deck himself to try and minimize the damage. He noted the fact that the Princess and Advisor Clef had left the boat safely and were heading with some of his crew, to shore with satisfaction.

The water was entering, fast; they couldn't get the water out fast enough. Getting a bucket, he helped as well. The morale of the soldiers rose when they saw their captain working with them. Rather efficiently, they managed to evacuate most of the crew by the time the ship was sinking. Most. There was one more rowboat left and they barely made it before the ship sank. Larfage breathe a sigh with relief.

"Damn it!" he cursed as he saw this gigantic wave heading above them, he couldn't protect the Princess from here. "Tsunami!" he heard several of them yelling. Did they think he was so blind that he couldn't see the huge thingy made out of water threatening to fall on them at any moment? As expected, the wave rolled over, water pounding on their heads, threatening to sink the pathetic row boats again.

In the far off distance, his trained eyes picked up a scene he would never want to see again in his whole life. The very person he was supposed to protect falling off the boat. It seemed to be in slow motion as he replayed the scene over and over again. The fear flashing across Princess Emaurade's face as she slipped. How she fell out, how Clef caught her by the wrist. He dragged her back him but ended up falling in himself. A huge wave sending the boat far away to where he fell. Clef struggling, then disappearing beyond the turquoise waters.

Clef's POV (Sorry if it's not too good. My first try. ^^;;)
~The water was so cold... I could barely see as water entered my eyes, I tried and made out a couple of boats in the distance. They had abandoned me? I felt so alone, so tired, my body gave up struggling, it was useless anyway. Then all I saw was black. ~

Umi who was still sulking among the Rainbow Corals, caught sight of something lavender then it was gone. Curiosity getting the better of her, she swam to find out what it was.

~Never give up, never give up

The tide is high but I'm holdin' on~

Something was falling through the water, sinking. Umi swam swiftly to the unconscious figure. She stared at him entranced, he was taller than she was, his muscles clearing showing through his soaked shirt. Lavender fringe covered half his face. He had high cheekbones; several lines that made him look older ran across his forehead, his pale lips slightly parted. His skin was firm yet smooth like a baby, creamy like milk. She would remember this face for as long as she lived. Shaking her head, she got out of her momentary daze and tried to get him to the surface. He was so heavy, but the density of the water helped her. Struggling, frantically moving her tail, she dragged him up to a nearby cave. She got a better look at the stranger she just saved. He was obviously good looking but he looked worn, tired as if he has been constantly worrying over something.

~I'm gonna be your number one

I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that

Oh no no! ~

Tracing the fine features of his face with her trembling fingers, afraid to touch him, as if he wasn't really real. 'Could... could this be my angel?' she thought as she combed his silky lavender hair with her fingers. He sure did look like one. But one couldn't judge a book by its cover.

~It's not the things you do that tease and hurt me bad

But it's the way you do the things you do to me

I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that

Oh no no! ~

He laid there very still, his lips turning blue. She looked at him, worried. Well, there was only one thing left to do. She had seen someone do this at a beach before, but the memory was vague. What she did remember made her blush. She placed her hands on his chest and pressed. Steadily, then lowering her head, her blue hair forming curtains around them, she placed her mouth on his and breathed. Continuing the process, she realised with a shock that she enjoyed the feel of his lips against hers. She can't be falling for him, not so fast. After all the guys she rejected, here she was, falling for this guy who just stumbled into her world. He coughed and her focus shifted back to him.

~The tide is high but I'm holdin' on

I'm gonna be your number one~

She looked at him, smiling. He was okay now! His eyes fluttered and looked up at her. "Where am I? Who are you?" She blushed faintly but refused to answer. "Are you an angel?"

"Angel? Good heavens no, I'm a human." Human. The word hit her like a ton of bricks; she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her world came crashing down on her. She had just saved a human! How was that possible? They were the ones responsible for killing so many of her kind, polluting the sea, using it like a rubbish bin. She shuddered. A human. Maybe he wasn't so bad like they said, maybe he would help them? She knew she was trying to find excuses. She had fallen hard for this 'jerk'. Fantastic, and she thought finding someone to marry was the worst of her problems. However, he passed out again, probably to tired to stay conscious. She knew what she had to do, for saving a human was already bad enough, to be associated with one... "Goodbye, angel or human, whoever you are." she finished sadly as she plunged into the darkness of the sea.

~The tide is high but I'm holdin' on

I'm gonna be your number one

Number one... Number one... Number one...~

Tears shimmered as they left her eyes, for now she wanted to be as far way from him as possible. Why bother to try? She knew it was forbidden to fall for a human. She thought love was silly but she never knew how much until this very moment. She was one of those who scoffed at the notion of 'till death do us part' her parents were so mushy with each other that it made her sick to imagine herself saying things like, 'Honey-dove or my one and only love.'

~Every girl wants you to be her man

But I'll wait right here, till it's my turn

I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that

Oh no no!~

Meanwhile almost everyone was busy looking for Advisor Clef. Larfage feared the worst and was mentally prepared. Princess Emaurade couldn't stop crying and truth be told she was getting on his nerves.

~Every time that I get the feeling

You give me something to believe in

Every time that I got you near me

I know the way I want it to be~

A village girl followed her twin when she suggested, "Hey I'm going to the caves to look for your earring okay? She was surprised to find someone in the caves, "Hey Sierra, help me bring him to our cottage!"

"On one, two three!" and they managed to drag him to their cottage in the woods, The Forest of Silence. Both of them looked after him, with tender loving care. But still he slept. "I'm not an angel," he murmured occasionally, frowning.

~But you know that I'm gonna take my chance now

I'm gonna make it happen somehow

And I know I can take the pressure

A moment's pain for a lifetime pleasure~

Umi Ryuu stared at the mirror. An identical image stared stonily back. She shook her head, as if to clear it. It was three days now, and she wondered how he was doing. She saw someone bringing him back, he should be safe now. Feeling a pang on her heart as she remembers his face. His amazing blue eyes that could have rivaled hers, the wisdom and momentary confusion behind them and she sighed.

~The tide is high but I'm holdin' on

I'm gonna be your number one

The tide is high but I'm holdin' on

I'm gonna be your number one~

'I can't go on like this.' Then she made an decision. It was a stupid decision, a really dumb one. She wanted to become human. She left, in search of Alcyone, the sea witch. Leaving behind a handwritten note for her parents.

~Number one

Number one

Number one~ Tsunami means big tidal wave I think... Coz nami means wave, but big is okii. Please tell me if I'm wrong.
