A/N: Hey everyone it's been awhile. I'm really sorry leaving you guys at a cliffhanger and not updating for awhile but, my grades at school are a little ER. under satisfactory due to slacking off and missing hw. So now, I've been working my butt off to make up the grades. I apologize for the wait. So let me smack myself for a few more times before starting. Oww. okay on with the chappie. This might the last one too.

Chappie 18?: A Talk

Disclaimer: I dunt own MRK BLAH BLAH!! I wish I did though..

Up on the balcony, Clef held Umi's waist as they both watched the sky.

"Umi I.."

Umi turned to face him. she smiled hopefully.

CRRRAAASSHH!!!!

The second time they were interrupted today. Hikaru and Lantis fell down from the tree about 20 feet away from them. Hikaru turned timidly and put on a bubbly smile as two very angry people turned towards them.

". . ."

Now you can see Hikaru and Lantis with several bruises with Ferio and Fuu.

Ferio sighed, "I told you not to spy on them." Fuu dug out some bandages and pinched Hikaru's cheek. "Poor thing."

Clef coughed and began again,

" Umi.. I am really sorry for everything that happened between us, all of our misunderstandings, and our bitter quarrels."

Umi touched his face softly. "I never meant to hide Yuki from you all those years."

Sitting down on the rail, and cuddling up, Umi asked "What did you want to tell me?"

Back at Cephiro..

20 minutes late for breakfast, trying to get used to a taller body, and raging hormones didn't lighten Sutake and Yuki's moods at all.

Both of the were grumpy, WAY too tired and in need of new clothes.

Yuki was wearing a dark blue dress that was slightly too large for her( she had rolled up the sleeves maybe 3 times..) and Sutake was no where to be found.

Outside on the courtyard.

Sutake slid a sword back in it's sheath as a tree fell down behind him.( A/N: Think of Swartz Bruder) If training would keep his mind of a girl, then heck, he would do it until he collapsed.

A few hours later, one busted up Sutake swung at the wooden post. Until a gentle arm went on him holding it down.

Bokura ha sonna no ni mo ooku no koto nado Nozondari ha shite inai yo zutto ( We're not wishing for all that much.)

He looked into Yuki's soft lavender eyes and found the ground awfully interesting to look at.

Haiiro no biru no kage ni kakureta Jitto shiteru mono ha nan daroutte Me mo kosuri nagara mo nozoki kondanda Jibun dattari ano ko ya kimi datta ( Hidden in the shadows of a grey building, I said," Who's that waiting patiently?" I saw it while rubbing my eyes It was me, you and that kid)

"You should go beat up yourself like that you know. Even if you're not used to the body." Yuki said softly.

Kodoku de nani mo mienaku natta n janai Mou nani mo mitaku nakatta n da ( It's not that I couldn't see anything in my solitude. It's that I didn't want to)

Sutake turned away, "Why should you care?!!!? It's MY body and I'll do what I want to do with it!" The look on Yuki's face made his immediately regret his words.

Bokura ha kitto shiawase ni naru tame ni Umarete kita n datte Omou hi ga atte mo ii n da yo ne Hora mimi wo sumaseba kikoete kuru Uchi ni himete inori ni nita sakebi ga (It's okay sometimes to think we were born to be happy. If you listen carefully you can hear it The shout-like prayer hidden inside.)

"Stupid. Baka. Dumbass. Now look what you've done."

A discreet figure watched in the shadows and shook it's head.

"Maybe the spell was all a mistake."

Down at Earth..

Ferio and the group watched as Hikaru whispered excitedly," He's gonna propose right??" Ferio grinned .

"He'd better or I'll give HIM a lecture HE won't forget."

Clef kneeled down and took Umi's hand, and Dug out something from his pocket. A stunning Sapphire ring shone brightly as he opened the box.

He said softly," Reminds me of you.."

The ring shone like a twinkling star in the night; it was a sapphire surrounded by a laurel of ivy with bits of emerald in it.

Clef the looked into Umi's eyes with the most intense look she had ever seen from him and he said,

"Umi, will you marry me?"

Fuu, Ferio, Hikaru, and (A/N: Even Lantis) held their breaths.. This was the final moment.

Fastforward to Cephiro.

Looking around in Clef's study, Yuki wiped her red eyes and stared into the mirror.

She could see herself as a 7-year-old as one happy family ;a complete one.

Turning away for a moment, she looked out the window and sighed.

She looked again, and she saw all the new people she met in Cephiro. Grinning sadly she stared harder and saw the face of someone she wanted to see least right now.

"Idiot."

Climbing up onto the windowsill, bring her knees to her chest and staring out at the countryside, she looked up at the stars twinkling and saw a shooting star.

"I wish."

Unknown to her, Sutake was sitting on one of the highest branches of a tree one knees drawn up to his chest with a arms laid across it; and the other leg hanging freely.

The same shooting star that Yuki saw streaked across the sky. Smiling sadly, he whispered,

"I wish."

A/N: YAY!!!! MWHAHAHAHAH!!! I 've left everyone at a cliffhanger. AGAIn!! ( hides from shooting steak knives) okay okay. I know.. ur all mad at me for not updating. I'm really sorry.

After reading Marmalade Boy, I admit, I was going to end the fic with this chapter , but what would I do with Yuki and Sutake? Browsing around fanfiction, a inspiration came and a idea popped into my head. I didn't know that I had a writer's block for this fic..

I hope to update maybe next week or the week after until then, ja ne! -Yume-damo-shirinai
