A/N: I'm soory! I'm sorry! (Dodges tomatoes and bullets, hammers and
giant watermelons.) I forgot to put a warning of angst in that chappie! I
know I was a too mean to Umi but that's how the story is and I'll try to
get them together fast! (If you want me to) I'm sorry! Okay so this chapter
will be a little lighter but there is still angst! Weird. I'm becoming
obsessed with Inu-Yasha again. (Sigh) Anyway, if anyone knows any good Inu-
Yasha fics please IM me. (Don't e-mail me the e-mail address on the bio it
got deleted) (Audience: (snorts) Cuz you're obsessed with almost ANY type
of Anime! And you lost all of your friend's sns! (52 in total! Wahh!)
Author: Shuddap.) I got a new one now it's just my dad's sn with @aol.com.
Anyway back to the story!
Story thus far...(A/N: No it sounds like a Fushigi Yugi manga! You know in the beginning?)
So far, Umi has gone back to Cephiro with Fuu and Hikaru and her daughter. Upon arriving, She and Clef talk but it doesn't go all that well and Yuke (supposed to be Yuki) starts lessons with Clef. Who is unknowingly her father. Ferio confronts Umi and gets the truth from her and he tells everyone about it. And Clef heard snatches of their conversation and went to talk to Umi. The talk ends up with Clef leaving and the unlucky couple sitting alone in the rain with deep regrets.
Chappie 6:Disapperances
Umi began to pack her stuff. There was no point in staying right? She would leave tomorrow As for Yuke. she would stay in Cephiro. For a while.
Yuke walked up the seemingly never-ending stairs for her lesson in magic and history (and other stuff (crap) Knocking then opening the door she walked in. Her teacher looked tried and was still sleeping. Giggling to herself, she ran into a bathroom and got a pail of ice COLD water. Dumping all of its contents on a poor mage. Clef sprang up from his bed.
"Where's the turkey?" he muttered dumbly. Then snapping awake and seeing a Yuke rolling on the floor in laughter, he tried to regain some lost dignity. DONK! A teary-eyed Yuke sprang up from the floor. Clef coughed.
"Are we going to begin or not?"Clef said trying to hide a smile.
"Okay! What are we doing today?"Yuke asked questioningly.
"Swordsmanship or swordswomanship."Clef said. Muttering something, a sword appeared from out of nowhere. "Now go get Sutake or Yuhi. I'm too tired to fight today."
Fading from sight, (one of the tricks he taught her.) She smiled and said. "Gotcha old man!" (A/N: notice anything? Yet?)
" Old man." Clef grumbled. Trying to forget about yesterday he put his staff down to meditate. I will forget about Umi today. he thought. Try as he might, thoughts about her were never far from his mind. He sighed, an air of regret around him again.
Yuke burst in. (A/N: From this point on in the story, I'm going to change her name to Yuki.) She panted and dragged someone in. Sutake stumbled in still holding on tightly to a chair. Everyone around swetdropped. Laughing nervously, he let go of the chair. He got up and dusted himself. Then someone's stomach grumbled. Clef laughed and said, "You two practice fight with swords. I'll be back when I got something to eat." Snapping his fingers, he disappeared.
The two apprentices bowed and began to fence. Parrying and attacking they slowly began to wear out.
Clef appeared in the dining hall. When Presea asked, " What happened to your robes?" And everyone else stared too.
Clef looked at himself from top to bottom and chuckled nervously and snapped his fingers. New robes appeared on him at once. Dusting himself, He heaped his plate full of food and began to much down like a starved animal. (A/N: More like a Saiyan) Oblivious to everyone's stares until Lantis coughed a bit too loudly. Clef snapped up. "What?"
"Why are you so hungry?" Fuu piped up.
" Humm? Oh my appetite? I didn't eat anything for lunch and dinner yesterday so now I'm starved!" Munching down another 4 plates, he got up and snapped his fingers. Then he disappeared from sight.
"Oh good! He's happy again!" Fuu said brightly.
Hikaru and Lantis shook their heads. "No. it's a mask. Didn't you see that Umi wasn't here? He's hiding emotions behind the mask. Painful ones. Something has happened."
Glancing down in the direction where Umi's room was Fuu and Ferio sighed sadly.
Clef materialized into his study where Yuki and Sutake sat on kneeled on the floor both panting hard. Their shirts were ripped and disheveled and their arms bloody. Clef looked at his messy study and sighed, He would have a long task ahead of him.
Grumbling, he said" What did you two do? I didn't ask you to beat the living daylights out of each other! I merely asked you to practice while I went down to eat."
Sutake grinned slightly ignoring his swollen cheek." Well, it took you 3 hours to get back up and we were getting bored. So we tried to make it more of a real fight."
Clef shook his head muttering," My poor study." At least it would get his mind off Umi. Sighing, he got up and said got wash yourselves. I get some clothes for you. Saying something, several clean clothes appeared. Then he turned to his messy study and began to move everything back into place.
After another 2 hours of fighting with sword. Clef carried up a worn out Yuki and Sutake back to their rooms. Dropping them in their beds and summoning their pajamas he left the room, but not before something caught his eyes. A little piece of paper.
It was on Umi's desktop and he just noticed that the room was completely bare with the exception of Yuki's things. He took the tiny paper in his hands and opened it. He gasped.

Dear Clef,
By the time you're reading this, I will be probably gone. I'm leaving Yuki in your care for now while I go sort my head. Anyway, I don't care if you're mad at me still; Aishiteru Clef. Take care of Yuki for me. I'm sorry about not telling her about you earlier. I owe you an explanation though it will not be face to face.
Since you were the master Mage and all, I didn't want to burden you with a child so I went back to Earth. After all, what would a 17-year-old do alone with a child to raise? So I went back and borrowed some money from my parents. I got a job and moved into the countryside. Life was okay, but I still missed you. Then Fuu and Hiakru came and you know the rest. I don't know how long I will be gone but I'll always love you and no one else. Aishiteru again Clef. Sayonara until we meet again...
With love from, Umi
P.S. Enclosed is an envelope with letters for everyone else. Please give it to them. ----~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clef blinked back tears with the full force of his words coming back at him. Now he knew the pain and the sadness. Snapping his hands and going to his bedroom. He laid the envelope down on his pillow and went to his study.
The whole time, his heart broke, shattered and pulverized. Organizing his belongings, something fell out for a book. A flower. A rose. left as a bookmark in a book. A little tag on it read. To the one I love. Clef looked at the book. It was the legend of the magic knights, going back to his bedroom; she flung himself on the bed (after changing of course) and read the letter again.
Tears fell as deep wonder reopened with waves of pain worse than the first. Now her really did feel her regret and her pain and everything they had lost. Then he did something that no one might anticipate. He cried letting go of every bundled up regret, anger, pain, sadness and loneliness over the years. Everything poured out, the walls around his heart crumbled leaving a little boy inside of him, unsure of what to do. He fell onto his pillow. Tomorrow will tell.'Umi, I'm sorry I hurt you.'
Umi looked at the ever- swirling colors. 'No turning back..' She jumped through the portal. "I need to find myself.."She whispered. She landed back on Earth. and immediately went into her car (she put it out in on the parking lot rite??) and drove home.
A/N: I'm sorry! I know, it wasn't that long but my dad's getting mad at me for God knows what and I need to get off! Wah!! I still must write chappie 7! Nooo!!!!!!(Author goes into fits of insanity) (Calms down after a while.) Anyway I really need to go off soo tune itn next time ans excuse the messy spelling!!!!
