A/N: Whew! That was a long chappie! Next time I probably shouldn't stay
up so late! I fell asleep in Math and I had to be hit to wake up. (And I'm
in the first row! That was so embarrassing!) Fashion show tomorrow and
Anime art contest finals! (I finally saw my friend's pictures!) Well, two
were original Anime (As my friend called their pictures 3 hookers and a
girl) and the last one was a watercolor Card Captor Sakura picture!! It was
sooo good! And so 8th graders who drew Yu-gi-oh and Final Fantasy IX.
Wahh!! I'm so jealous! They're good! Anyway I probably have 3 pages worth
in ranting and better stop. On with the chappie!
Disclaimer: I don't own Rayearth, CLAMP does so don't sue me! All I own is a Trunks doll and a Rayearth video! (Sniff) I'm broke. I just spent the last of my allowance on a Fushigi Yugi CD and it was the one with Miaka and Tamahome one on the cover and it was too lovey-dovey!
Chappie 4: Avoid and Avoid.
Thought a part of him was telling him that he was the child's father, he refused to listen to it and began avoiding Umi. He spent most of his time with his daughter (Unknown to him) and locked in his room. Umi did the same. One day, after they had left the breakfast table, the others began to talk about it.
Hikaru muttered," It's been at least 4 weeks now and they're STILL not talking to each other or even looking at each other. And when they're forced to talk, they speak rather coldly. Arghh!! What happened in the garden? Did I do something bad to her?"
Fuu watched Hiakru break down in front of everyone and run down to her room (She shares it with Lantis) Leaving several teardrops glistening on the table.
Fuu looked at the tear wondering like Hikaru.'Was it because I was spending too much time with Ferio and leaving her alone? I can't believe I've been such a horrible friend! Never visiting her at Earth and always thinking of myself'She thought feeling a tear run down her cheek. Ferio hugged her tightly and whispered, "It's not your fault. Something.something must have happened that night in the garden."
Hikaru looked at a picture album and sobbed softly to herself. At all the times when they were still happy and she wasn't such a lousy friend. Lantis came in. sitting next to her and kissed her neck. " You know, it's not your fault. Something just happened."
Hikaru looked away. "How can you say it's not my fault! I was such a lousy friend! Until she and Clef make up, I'll never forgive myself." She collapsed on the pillow and fell asleep, tears still running down her cheeks.
Lantis thought' I hope you have a VERY good reason for not talking or I'll personally come and beat you up.'
Clef looked out the window again spacing out. 'How long has it been? 4 weeks now. I wonder why? You should have at least sent Fuu and Hikaru back to tell me.' The lonely ache in his heart had only become worst after the fight. The only times his spirit seemed to lift was when Yuke was around with Sutake and the others. Something he said was wrong. she was hiding something (A/N: He's referring to Umi) ' I guess she just doesn't trust me enough huh?'He laughed bitterly.'I feel so used.'
Umi thought, looking at herself in the mirror. Her reflection stared back; she had dark circles under her eyes and she looked extremely thin and a bit sickly.' I'm so thin now from guilt and loneliness. I don't know how much more I can take of this. Maybe I should just tell him. Sure those words were cold, but it was just an overreaction huh? I hope so.' Taking a bite out of a piece of an apple, she decided, 'I'll tell him 2 days from now. at Hikaru and Fuu's anniversary. ' Then only thing was she didn't notice. there was a hole in the apple. and there was a crack splitting it in half. Her rose in the vase had one petal left. and it fell.
Ferio walked to Umi's room. She just came out and bumped into him. "Ow!" she jumped not knowing who it was. Ferio came out and spoke. "Umi I need to talk to you."
Walking back into her room. He warded it and said," Umi, what is up with you and Clef? Lantis looks ready to kill you and Hikaru and Fuu think they've done something wrong and that they are horrible friends! They're dying of guilt Umi! What's wrong!!? I don't want to offend you but you're being selfish! Don't you even care about your friends? Also, I'm ready to jump out of my seat and strangle you two! What is wrong?!"
Umi got an faraway look in her eye." I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you guys. I just didn't want everyone worrying about my troubles and me. It would be asking too much of them to bear my burden."
Ferio's enraged expression softened slightly, " We are not asking you to make our choices for us Umi. We're your friends! We want to help! From our own free will! Isn't that what friends are for? To help each other carry their burdens? To worry about one another? To give each other comfort and help? Please just tell me what is wrong? I don't want to be going to the Anniversary party with a ghost! "
Umi wiped away a tear." Promise me you won't tell Clef?" Ferio nodded and she continued," You all know that he wanted to talk to me right? Well, we went down to the garden and he asked me who was the father of Yuke. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to give away the surprise but he mistaken it as me not wanting to tell him that I found someone else and he said some.things. that hurt. And we've been avoiding each other since. I've been losing sleep, and appetite and I just don't know what to do!" The wall around her heart crumbled and she cried out all the pain she was trying so hard to hide.
" I didn't want anyone to worry or fuss so I just kept everything in!" she started to cry again.
Feiro looked with pity." Clef's the father right? Umi, you should know better than to keep everything in and everyone out. We care that's why we want to help. Clef's temper gets him in trouble at times. You really should tell him the truth. Guilt, betrayal and anger are clouding his judgement." He winced when Umi gave him a very tight bear hug.
"Thanks so much!" She said half sobbing an laughing, (A/N: O_o what a racket!) Ferio only said as he pried her off him and walked out of the room. " I only speak for those who care about you and don't want to see you hurt. Good Luck."
Umi nodded and went down for dinner, her stomach rumbling. She looked out the window and saw the moon was already up. A full moon huh? It's so pretty.' She thought.' My appetite is back!'
Clef sighed, for once feeling like his true age 752 years. He had switched to an older form now but felt like an immature child or an old man. 'Umi he thought. 'You know you can trust me. Why?' He sighed. ' I might or might not. forgiveness is too hard to give too freely.'
Ferio had walked around in the palace garden leaving Fuu and Hikaru to have some time alone. The garden,he smirked slightly. Their first time was here. So many happy and yet sad memories here. He sat on the fountain. All of us wish you good luck, Umi. Will it be enough?
Lantis had talked with Ferio earlier about what Umi had told him. He'd admit he felt pity and that this was one of the strangest relationships he'd ever seen. At least they have a good reason. But they don't realize it do they? They're both so alike. Temper attitude and many other things. I just hope they get their minds straightened out so I won't have to strangle them for hurting Hikaru.' Grinning slightly at the idea he put an arm around Hikaru's waist and held her close. We'll see the results.
Clef straightened up. Rubbing his stomach slightly he went to the dinning hall, but what would surprise him the most was the things he would hear.
Lantis talking to Ferio, Fun, and Hikaru was worried. Would Umi really tell Clef the truth? Talking a bit too loud, the group failed to notice the very subject of their conversation pass by.
Clef heard what they had said. The truth about everything. Putting on a mask of wariness, he stepped down the stairs and headed towards the dinning hall. A spark of a feeling growing.betrayal.
A/N: What is the truth? (Oh well I think you guys already know.) Sorry for the chappie being so short and thanks to Kiyoshi-chan for her suggestion. I'll really try to make the chappie long! Also I do admit, I was rushing on the first chappies. It was night and I admit, I was tired! Anyway thanks anyway! Don't worry! I accept flames, but note this: If you aren't writing any better than the person you are flaming, I don't suggest you flame. All you're doing is (A/N: This is not for Kiyoshi-chan! I really appreciate her comment!) Putting yourself down by criticizing others that are better than you criticize. If you don't like someone's story you could help by making good suggestions or constructive criticism. (A/N: OMG!!! I'm beginning to sound like my Math teacher! Ekk!) Anyway, sorry about the stupid lecture. Again I'm feeling too lazy (or hungry) to write a preview.(sigh) Sorry! Tune in next time! Yume-Damo (A/N: supposed to be kamo!)-Shirinai.
P.S. I hope I didn't make y'all fall asleep! Gomen!
