I know the chapters are short and not full of a lot of action, but they are important to what is about to come up next. Oh and for all of you who are picky I don't know Magic Knight Rayearth, I just like making Fan Fics with the characters. Enjoy

"So we are really going to split them up?" said the golden haired girl her golden brown eyes looked down at the floor. She didn't like where the conversation was going. She loved and adored the Magic Knight, and spitting them would hurt them so.

            "She chose her path all on her own," said the man with the green hair. He looked out at the play and touched the window. He loved to see her happy. Her happiness meant more to him then anything.

            "We have to stop questioning her," the man with the purple hair stated, "Right now we need her to do this or Cephiro will parish. She knows what she must do; we just need to be there to support her". The group agreed to his words. They all looked away from each other. They were going to destroy the hearts of the Magic Knights.

            Outside the girls fell to the grass. Their breathing was heavy but smiles still appeared on their face. They started talking about life and how long it has been since they had gotten to do this. Now that they were older and working, they had little time for each other. 

Umi turned over to Hikaru and asked, "Hey Hikaru, I have noticed you have been sad lately is everything ok"?

Hikaru's smile left her face as she remembered that horrible not. That message had broken her heart. Hikaru sighed then told her story:

"I was getting prepared to go to work when I saw a note on my bed with this locket. The note was from Lantis. Lantis said that he could no longer love me because of the pain he will cause me. The locket had a picture of him. I am not sure what it means, but I wish I could see him one last time."

Umi and Fuu looked up to the sky. They knew that Hikaru was in love with Lantis. He was someone that she would put her life on the line for. Umi turned to Fuu and asked her what was up with her being gone all the time. Fuu looked for a chance to escape, but also nothing. I guess Cephiro didn't answer her prayer this time. Fuu smiled at the thought then frowned at the question. There was no way she could tell the truth to her friends. It wasn't time. Fuu made an excuse about being with Ferio because she had missed him so much. Umi and Hikaru accepted the answer. They thought it was cute and sweet. The sky was starting to darken it was going to rain. Hikaru knew it was the sadness in her heart that had caused the rain. Even though Cephiro was run by its people, she still controlled a great deal of the world. The people of Cephiro were able to experience different weathers and season because of her heart.

Lafarga was the first to arrive for Emerald. The little girl jumped into his arms. She was always excited to see him. Hikaru watch them walk away. She wanted to be holding a child or holding something very dear to her heart, but alas a locket was only thing that matched for the time being. Hikaru held onto the locket and looked up the sky.

Umi was the first to notice Clef. Umi got up and walked over to him. The rain was her element so she walked with more of a seductive manner and a powerful smile. Clef smiled when he saw her. His cheeks turned a light pink as she got closer.

"Clef there is something I really need to talk to you about," Umi said sadly. She looked around to see if anyone could hear her. She shivered at the thought of someone, a certain someone, seeing her.

"Of course Umi, is everything ok?" Clef asked as he put his arm around her. Umi liked the feeling of his arm. This time it was able to reach her shoulders and not just her back. She really liked the taller Clef.

"But not here, Clef," Umi started, "Somewhere private," Umi and Clef started for the castle whispering secrets into the wind.

Fuu started to get up and head for the castle. She brushed herself off and smiled at Hikaru.

"Are you coming inside, Hikaru?" Fuu asked as she turned and faced her friend.

Hikaru turned her head towards Fuu and proclaimed her desire to feel the rain. Fuu sadly looked at her friend, but let her be. Fuu understood the pain she was going through, a similar pain that she would have to endure soon. Hikaru looked up at the sky. Tears filtered into her eyes, but they never fell. The rain started to sprinkle down to the ground. Each drop felt like a kiss to her. She could not help, but wonder where Lantis was. She wanted to see him one last time. Hikaru still believed it was possible for him to love her and to be with her. She wanted to know more. There was only one thing she wanted more then this knowledge, and that is for the rain to wash away her pain.
