A/N: OooOOooo. NOW's when the story finally gets interesting (A/N: I'm flaming myself but o well?) (Audience: (snorts) cough cough. Gets and angry mark on her forehead and a large hammer appears out of nowhere. DONK! Yume- Damo-Shirinai: Ahem excuse the interruption (drags the Audience to a large pile of trash and dumps them there.) Much better! Now where was I? (Blabs and thinks for several more hours.Anyway, I've noticed soo little Umi and Clef fics on Fanfiction.Net (err I went throughout all 31 pages of Rayearth fanfction! I now have bugs under my eyes . (groan) Anyway, (A/N: I use that word too much) I won't be that mean to Clef and Umi but they'll be hostile for a while. And Clef's a little COLD here..

Chappie 5: Cold Ignorance

Clef had walked down and overheard their conversation.

"So Umi's daughter is also Clef's? But why didn't she tell him?" he heard someone say. Most likely Hikaru.

He didn't want to hear any more. He would find the truth out from Umi later. For now he would get something to fill his empty stomach.

Umi was surprised when she saw Clef enter the dining hall and actually looked at her. But she wished that he hadn't. The look he had; it was a cold, and it was like looking into a dark, empty void. Bare and deserted. Even worse was the tone of his voice when he said," At midnight, in the garden. I think we need to talk." The air around her froze and the world came crashing around her. Stuttering, she agreed.

Midnight came and the world around her never looked so unwelcoming. The wind was chilly, and the ground unusually hard. Making her down and hugging her jacket around her tighter, she found Clef down by a giant willow tree.

Clef said dryly," First Umi, I need you to explain some stuff left untold. Such as WHY did I hear Ferio say that the child is mine? Tell me Umi, is it a hallucination or is it just my hearing?"

"." Umi said nothing for a few seconds then saw, "The child is yours. It's true what Ferio said."

"Well, Umi why didn't you tell me? Don't want to share anymore?" he said more dryly than before.

"No! It was because I didn't want to burden you!"

" So you kept me from my daughter 7 years and I didn't know of her existence! And you call that love!"

"No that's not true! I really do love you!"Umi said nearly close to sobbing.

Clef turned back and began walking away. "You call that love? I would have gladly welcomed her and taken you in. It isn't a burden."

"Then what can I do? I don't want to tell her the truth! It might be too much for her!"

He turned and looked at her. Umi could see the fresh pain and anger in his eyes. "I won't tell her. Not to spare you. But so she can be happy, not knowing a father or what one is. Happy enough to have only one parent. And you can help by staying the hell out of my life."

Umi sank to the ground on her knees. Part of Clef told him to turn back and say it was all okay and take away the harsh words. And part of him said to keep going.

"Umi. You should have just told me. " He whispered. Going back a little, Clef said, "One thing, if you go back to Earth, I want her to visit at least 2 times a month." Turning back he disappeared into the night.

Umi could feel her heart breaking, stamped on, and handed back to her. Letting tears run down her face freely, she sat on a high branch scanning the dark sky for a ray of hope that would tell her he never said all of that.

Still love you



Arashi no ato aoi sora ga kanarazu hirogaru

Broken heart

Dakara ima wa kono kanashimi ni tachi mukatte yuku

Onaji hito o suki ni naru nante setsuna sugiru umei - - - - - - - - - - - - - --------------- - - ------------------------------

Umi looked up at the sky and heard a rumble. and saw a flash. 'Just on time.' she though. Still crying, she felt the first rain drop on her face, running down her tear streaked cheek washing away her tears. I can go and cry in the rain' she thought. Feeling wariness overcome her, she pulled her jacket tighter, and put on the hood. Tears still flowing even after she fell asleep, she smiled sadly in her sleep.

Clef mentally berated himself. Turning his head he felt a storm coming. ' But it wouldn't hurt to stay outside and watch the storm right? After all I've got nothing to lose.'' Tightening his hold on his staff (A/N: He carries it everywhere! Right? Right?) he shouted, "Creature, I summon thee!" A large Eagle arrived a few seconds later and her flew down to a hill.

He landed and nodded thanks. Sitting down on the already wet grass he watching the rain fall and sprinkle the grass, at the same time wondering what he had just done. - - - ------------- - - ------------------------------------- - ------------

(A/N: I'm gonna do a whole song here. I'll mention the songs at the end of the chapter. I'm listening to this song as I type! It's soo sad.) ---------- - - - - - - ----------------------------- - - - ----------------

Tenkyuu ni hoshi wa matataki daichi ni wa hana go saku

Soshite ima boku no uchuu de kimi e no ai ga hikaru

Tomara nai tomera renai

Itoshisa wa iki o suru you ni kakegae nakute. ------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------- Clef felt fresh tears run down his face and the feeling of regret fell on him. ------------------------------- -----------------------------------------

Kimi no tame boku ga aru nara umarete kite yokatta

Unmai to tatakai nagara setsunasa to ikite yuku

Tooku temo dare to itemo

Negau no wa tatta 1 tsu dake kimi no shiawase ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Umi woke up feeling the cold, yet comforting rain on her face. "I'm sorry Clef."

Aoi sora no mukou mimamoru hoshi ga aru

Kmi e to kagayaki omoi wa eien

Dai no ji de ten o aoi de sukoshi nemutta you da

Tokimeki ga hayagane o uchi 1 ri nigawarai suru

Tomara nai tomera renai

Koishisa de kimi o daki shimeu yume o miteita ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clef watched the moon and all the things it reminded him of. It was so sad and regretful.

* Sora ni wa hoshi tachi daichi ni wa hana go saiteiru Soshite boku no uchuu ni kimi ga ite..... (*Repeat) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Umi sighed. It was around 4 AM now. Walking back to the palace. She shed a few more tears.

Clef got up dusted his robes (A/N: They were all muddy. You know he was sitting out in the rain!) Snapping his fingers, he collapsed on his bed too tired to change. Maybe.

A/N: I know I was a little too mean but I needed to do that! Sorry! Anyway, I don't want to make this chapter too long and again, thanks to Sharla-chan from onewingedangel.com for translations (A/N: I got the translations for her site. I'm no that good at Japanese!) The first song was Still from Fushigi Yugi CD (Miaka's song) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Still love you

After the storm the blue sky will certainly spread

Broken heart

But now all this sadness I will go to face

To be in love with the same person is too painful a fate

------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second song was Hotohori's Also from a Fushigi Yugi CD (A/N: I just can seem to stop listening to them!) It's Boku no Uchuu Ni Kimi Ga Iru(In My Universe There Is You) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In heaven the stars sparkle in earth the flowers bloom

And now in my universe my love for you shines

It won't stop it won't be stopped

Caring is just like breathing without substitute.

If I'm here for your sake I'm glad I was born

During fate and battles I live with pain

Even distantly whoever you're with

I just have 1 wish your happiness.



Beyond the blue sky there are stars watching over

My glittering feelings for you eternally

With my arms open to the blue heavens like I'm a little sleepy

My blazing heartbeat pounds swiftly giving 1 bitter smile

It won't stop it won't be stopped

Tenderly I embraced you in the dream I had.

* In the sky all the stars in earth the flowers are blooming

And in my universe there is you...(*Repeat)

A/N: Long!!!!! (Sniff) and so sad. I'll be nicer! Tune in next time! Ja ne!
