A/N: Hi! Man.. I'm soo excited!! We just had an Anime Art Contest at my school and I entered and they're showing the results tomorrow!! (Hehe I can't wait to see my friend's pic. Hahahahhaa.. (Laughs evilly for a while..) Anyway I gonna still take a break from my other Rayearth fic until I finish this one. Like I said, this is mainly Clef/Umi so if ya don't like them, don't read this story!!(cough cough) Anyway on with the fic!

Disclaimer: I don't own Rayearth and all that other legal crap. it belongs to CLAMP. ^_^

Chappie 2 (I got a name!) Return to Cephiro.

Umi blinked. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Hikaru? Fuu?" she ran to them thinking it was all too good of a dream.

She felt the face and felt something solid. She sobbed.

"You're real! Oh my god. I missed you guys."

Hikaru smiled. "What did you expect? Two long dead ghosts?" She gathered all of them into a giant hug until she started to choke them.

Smiling sheepishly, she grinned. "Sorry!"

"Mommy? Who are they?" Hikaru and Fuu looked as if their eyes were going to pop out.

" Yuke, these are mommy's friends Hikaru Shidou and Fuu Hououji."

She bowed politely then said, "Please ta meet you, er. Shido-san and Houji-san?"

Fuu and Hikaru blinked. They looked at each other, still not believing what they were seeing. They asked anxiously, "Who's her father?"

Umi blushed then looked away."Clef." she said softly.

Hikaru and Fuu jumped around holding each other's hands. "Our daughters and sons will be so happy!! And so will Clef!"

Umi looked away."Don't tell Clef."

"Why?" Hikaru and Fuu looked slightly surprised.

"I will tell him myself. So I want to know about all I've missed in Cephiro!" They all giggled and began to tell of everything they had missed.

Fuu started. "Well, about a week after you left. Me and Ferio got married and then maybe about 1/2 year after, we had Sutake. The about two years ago in Cephiro we had Suji."

"So you have a 6 year old son and a 2 year old daughter?"Umi asked her heart happy for her friend.

"Yep." Fuu said blushing a little.

"So what about you Hikaru?"Umi asked.

"Well, we had a double wedding with Fuu and Ferio, then we had a boy, Yuhi that's the same age as Sutake and a girl, Yui ½ a year older than Yuke, I think. Well how old is Yuke? She 's cute!"

Umi thought. "Well if she hadn't lived on Earth and instead Cephiro, she would be about 7 years old." About the same age as Sutake."

"Oh but when was she born?" Hikaru asked.

"About 8 months after I came back to Earth. I lived with my parents for about 1 month then moved out to here. But even though the scenery is pretty here, I still prefer Cehiro. Yuke was conceived in Cephiro and looks a lot like Clef. She's lucky."

"Which reminds us, we came to take you back to Cephiro!!"

"But. what about Yuke? And my job and everything?"

"We'll bring her along too! And you can call and tell your boss that you're taking a.um. very long vacation! And your parents can take care of your house." they said excitedly.

Knowing she had no other thing to argue with left, she finally agreed. She gathered many of her possessions and Yuke's and packed them up. Taking the sleepy Yuke in her hands she held her close as her friends waited and soon became engulfed in a bright light.

Clef jumped up from his seat. He could have sworn that he felt Umi's presence. Hurrying down the main hall, he arrived just in time to see them land. With Lantis and Ferio greeting their mates he turned to Umi. He saw her carrying a child. His heart felt disappointed but he showed nothing but happiness at seeing her again. But there was something on his mind.the little girl Umi was carrying. she looked familiar. it was like he was looking into a mirror at himself as a small child, except for the fact that it was a girl. 'Maybe.' dismissing that thought he went to greet Umi and the other knights.

Umi saw the slight look of disappointment on Clef's face but it disappeared as fast as it had appeared. Clef hugged tightly then asked to see her daughter, no their daughter. The only thing was the fact that almost gave away her surprise. Yuke had snuggled against Clef in her sleep and muttered, "Daddy."

A/N: Ah.. Don't ya just love cliffhangers? (Actually to be more precise, a semi-cliffhanger. Oh well, I have little twist for the newly reunited couple! (I am soo evil.) (Laughs like a maniac for several minutes. Audience: Ahem.GET ON WITH IT!!! (Goes SD, jeez! No need to yell in my ear! I'm still extremely injured form basketball! Audience: Yeah right all you did was get hit on the face, hit on the neck twice, and fell down.WACK!! A/n: FINALLY! Peace and quiet.) Yawn. (Well I 'm really not that sleepy. just a little sore from being slapped on the face in basketball. (The lousy players the just DON"T seem to see what their arms hit, they just go on and play the game and hit you again! Sniff (holds face) wahh!) Oh well, again no preview of the next chappie, but it'll be mainly about Yuke. Tune in next time! Ja ne!

-Yume-damo-shirinai

P.S. Maybe I'll be nice and give you a brief preview!

Yuke stirred. She felt so warm.Without knowing it she said father in her sleep. Then remembered no more.

The next morning, Umi was surprised to see and 7-year-old Yuke waking up. "Mommy? Why do I feel taller?" she said looking at herself. Her nightgown was 1 foot too short and a bit too tight. Sutake walked into the room, and saw a pretty girl. Staring at each other, she locked eyes for several minutes.

Umi sighed. 'To be young and in love.' she thought.
