A/N: Hey everyone! I'm finally back up and updating! Whew, I thought
that I was going to have another writer's block but lucky for me I found
some inspiration. While I was browsing through CDs, I was listening to the
Ataris and heard 1 song that really fit where this story is headed right
now. So I'll stop blabbing and get on with the fic!
Disclaimer: I don't own Rayearth because if I did I wouldn't be writing this. (Sighhhhhhh..) I also don't own the song Takeoffs and Landings from the Ataris. (Bangs wall) Whyyyy?!?!!?!?
Chappie 21 : Takeoffs and Landings
Umi sat in her chair sighing. How long had they been stuck on Earth now? About 5 months she bet. Umi was amazed at the rate that Clef adapted to everything and learned everything so fast. 'A new world, new people new customs.. It must be really hard for him.' Umi thought. Maybe she shouldn't have been so hard on him. She ducked down, pulled her carry-on bag from under the chair in front of her and took out a CD player. Turning it on and pumping up the volume, she pushed a button and her chair fell back. All she wanted to do was drift into the realm of dreams.
On this coldest of January nights, we'll drive out past the runway And watch the planes go flying by.
Clef looked out the window. Only 45 minutes left until they arrived in New York. Although it was about 4 AM, Clef could see all the bright lights shining in the night and blinking. It really was a beautiful sight. Something you couldn't see everyday. His thoughts drifted to Umi and Yuki. 'I hope Yuki's okay. Umi I hope I'll see you after this. I don't know how much longer I can last in this world.' The sharp pang flooded his senses again. Leaning back, he breathed in and fell asleep.
The runway lights are the deepest blue like the colors of your eyes
So close them tight and kiss me one last time.
If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go??? And would you miss me when you get there? There's no place that I would rather be.
Sutake sighed. The place was too much like a prison. Especially with the masquerade dance coming up. Everywhere he went, there were girls gossiping and giggling whenever they looked at him. It was scary. Looking around for signs of guards or onlookers, he found none and jumped off the wall; his cloak swishing behind him.
Yuki looked up at the man she had just bumped into. He was drunk. His mouth reeked of liquor and his eyes looked strangely glossy. He was a middle-aged man with an ugly face that reminded you of a hag. Yuki winced and tried backing away, but the man grabbed her hand.
" Such a preetttyyy face shhoullddnn't goo to wasste. Howww bout aa kkiss?"
Yuki was left with a choice, she either listen to him or punch him. Even though it would attract attention to her, she chose the latter.
She punched him but she overestimated herself. He wasn't even fazed.
" A feisty one eh? You should geett taaught a l-lesson wrench." He raised his hand. Yuki closed her eyes and waited for the anticipated blow. She never felt it.
There was someone standing in front of her, but she couldn't quite make out the person's face because a hood covered it.
" Are you okay?" The voice sounded familiar.
" Yeah. Uh thanks. Mr.-"
" Shimura." The stranger said and disappeared.
The voice was familiar. but who was it? Shimura. that person definitely wasn't who they said they were. But Yuki stared down the street he had disappeared into. She just fell in love with his voice.
Please don't let me go falling from the sky. This fasten seat belt sign just needs to go out If only you could be, right here by my side. Home wouldn't seem so far from here.
Making sure he was out of sight, Sutake lowered his hood. ' Why the hell did I say Shimura?' He touched his burning face. He was sure it was tomato red right now.
Ferio paced back and forth in his office. He knew he had forgotten something when he trapped Umi and Clef at earth. But what? What was it??
" Damn. I hope this mistake of mine won't kill one of you."
His eyes opened wide at the realization at what he just said. " Six months" he muttered before dialing a number. ' Umi better pick up her phone.' Six months. why hadn't he realized it!?!
Ferio slammed his hand onto his desk. Cradling his head on his hand, he dialed a number.
" Oh Mr. Finn? I've changed my mind. I'm coming to the meeting with my underling. Get me a plane to New York right now." He said with a deadly serious tone.
Time was running out. He had to go fast. Scribbling a note down and hastily signing it, he grabbed a suitcase and ran out the door.
Passports, customs, carry-on, Remember to shut off all of your electronic devices. Fell asleep on Tuesday. woke up Monday afternoon. I slept right through your International Date Line.
Tapping his fingers against the hard marble, Sutake sipped a cup of hot tea. 2 more days until the ball. And he knew just who to ask. All he needed was an answer.
Yuki stumbled into her room breathing hard. Climbing the castle walls in heels was murder. She couldn't get the masked stranger's voice of her mind. It was strangely comforting almost like Sutake's . comforting.
" But no matter how much I need Sutake, I don't know if he needs me. That's what scares me the most. Unrequited love." Yuki whispered.
Down at Earth.
"Flight 206 now landing. Please take all your possessions and belonging with you and have a nice trip. We hope you enjoyed your flight. Thank you."
Clef stepped off the platform and breathed in. Then out. New York was a big place. He walked down the path leading to the check outs and disappeared into the background with the other passengers. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
Meanwhile.
" 3 hours until we reach our destination. New York. Please relax and enjoy the rest of your flight." Umi growled. How many times had she heard that in the last 8( I'm not sure how long it is to fly from Japan to New York) hours?!? A headache was coming and Clef was gonna pay when she found him.
A/N: End of chappie 21! Now let's see.. Should I make clef run into umi or should I make her look for him? R & Rs are appreciated and please let me known what you want to happen next! Umm.. I better go to sleep! ^-^
