Tenshi: Hi everybody. Thank you for the reviews. This was suppose to be a
one shot but I changed it to a fic. I see Umi's death in Forever 17 To be
an angel by Anima Mouse. Fuu's death? *Sees Fuu fans charging at author
with all sorts of weapons even pepper shaker? o_O* Well... lets not go into
that.
Hikaru was the most intriguing character. Personally there are hardly anyone who has Hikaru as their favourite character, instead the bold and beautiful Umi and the gentle and wise Fuu were much more popular. I am a Hikaru fan because I'm really like Hikaru in a lot ways... oh and this is a song-fic.
Disclaimer: This is the last time this is appearing coz I keep forgetting to write this but you get the idea. The song, I forgot who I got it from but I don't own it so no sue!! CLAMP OWNS RAYEARTH! Good enough for ya? Enough stuff already. Here are the response to the reviews:
blazingIcEph0enix: Good question! Actually I have an answer to that. Have you heard of internal bleeding? Yep that's what happened, It was internal damage. And if there was real external damage, forensic scientists could still mend the body. (I'm interested in forensic science you see)
Mistress of Darkness: Thank you!! Your truth and Dare fic is really funny, but I don't know almost all the characters. But keep on writing and update soon! Yep, Clef is so KAWAII!!
Geon Nemesis: Thank you! It was such a sweet review!! I really appreciate that you took time to write something so sweet! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Lost
Umi arrived on the dot, in the late afternoon. Her cerulean eyes grew distant as she saw the tombstone coming into view. She hated to be here. She couldn't imagine Hikaru being buried under the cold dark earth in a grimy coffin which was rotting away. But she loved Hikaru. So she was here. The tombstone was really beautiful in a cold metallic emotionless kind of way. An stone angel with her hands in prayer seemed to watch over the grave. Her wings embracing the light and beauty of the world, reflecting it back. The grave had all sorts of flowers at its side, almost as if somehow Hikaru's abundant life force haven't been totally disappeared and was passed on to the flowers who were thriving. A blend of colours swaying to the wind.
She saw Fuu and Ferio huddled together. Poor Fuu. Tiny little droplets slid down her cheeks glistening in the light. Ferio held her tighter. His hand wiping away her tears tenderly, gently. She leaned closer to his chest. Lucky Fuu. She had someone at least. Umi sighed. Long strands of her azure hair swayed gracefully, following the rhythm of the wind. She felt someone's hand lay on her shoulder. She turned around.
"Hey Ascot." he nodded . His grip on her shoulder grew tighter as her willowy frame shook. Her cheek felt damp and cool. His emerald orbs locked with her sapphire ones. "It's okay to cry Umi. I'm here for you."
She nodded then fell into his embrace. 'I do need hugs too...' thought Umi as she laid her head on his shoulder. It felt so good to have someone to lean on to. He combed her silky hair with his fingers, lingering at certain areas while she was crying her heart out leaving wet trails down his shirt.
She noticed lavender hair in the not so far off distance and backed away quickly. "Thanks Ascot. You're really great." But he had seen what she saw and the hurt was clearly reflected in those green eyes. Clef. He felt the familiar pang of pain hit his heart, she wasn't his and she was never going to be...
~Of all the things I believe in I just want to get it over with~
A crowd had already gathered there. Umi walked over to Fuu. They exchanged a feeble smile. Ferio acknowledge her with a curt nod. Caldina held Larfage's hand tightly, trying her best to not cry. Umi's eyes scanned the crowd. Her brothers looked like they usually did, like zombies. There was Tatra, Tarta and Aska her Kendo opponents from other schools. Clef, Ascot and his step-sister Caldina with her fiancé Larfage who came here because they knew Hikaru through Umi. Then there was Presea and Sierra, her roommates. Geo and Zazu joined the crowd. Eagle stood by himself on the far side of the cemetery. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, black... something that only Lantis used to wear all the time. He had a bouquet of scarlet roses with him. Lantis was missing? She felt certain that he wouldn't miss this for the world.
~Tears from behind my eyes But I do not cry Counting the days that past me by~
Umi cleared her throat. She got everyone's attention. She began, her voice trembling as she placed her white tulip on the stone cold grave. "Hi Hikaru. Sorry I haven't really visited you. I love you very much but I hate to see you like this. It pains me every time I have to come here. You were a great friend the best anyone could possibly wish for-" Her voice cracked and more tears streamed down her face. "I'm sure you would be our guardian angel and look over us like you did before- before... before-" she couldn't continue. She was swept into her second embrace that day. Fuu was hugging her so hard that she couldn't breathe. "FUU! She's choking!" a stern voice rang out. Fuu released her grip and gave her a watery smile. Umi smiled back at Fuu and gave a grateful look towards Clef. Fuu placed her white tulip along with Ferio, "We meet again Miss Hikaru. I missed you very much. Life has been very different without you, you know that? I miss your laughter, I miss your smile, I miss your ruby eyes that are always concerned about others. I miss you Hikaru. I'm sorry I never called you by your name before and now I'll never have that chance. Thank you for always being there for us. I wish I could be there for you if you need me. But I can't." Ferio held her closer to his chest, his amber eyes shining with sadness.
~I've been searching deep down in my soul Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old Looks like I'm starting all over again The last year was just pretend and I say~
Each of them (except Eagle) muttered their own special message to the angel who touched their lives in ways they never thought possible. They sat in silence as they recalled their vivd memories of a certain crimson hair maiden whose lively childlike spirit shall be imprinted forever in their minds.
~Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew~
Eagle walked over now, slowly in a trance-like way, fluid and graceful in his movements. His golden brown eyes darkened as he lowered his bouquet of roses above the pile of tulips. He gave a sigh. "Hikaru. God I missed you. I wish you could come back but that's not going to happen. I hope you watch over Lantis though, I'm worried about him. How' re you doing up there? I just really don't know what to say-" he lowered his voice, "with the exception that I love you? And maybe I'm joining you soon." Geo placed an reassuring hand on his shoulder. Eagle smiled sadly. A small tear appeared at the corner of his eye. Geo was taken aback, he had never seen him cry before, not that he didn't show his feelings like Lantis but he has never cried for anyone yet. He tried to resist the urge to hug the blond who looked as fragile s Fuu right now.
~You were the one I love The one thing that I tried to hold on to~
Everyone pretty much left after this. The stone angel had two shiny droplets slide down her cheek, shimmering in the sunlight. Her eyes turned ruby for a fleeting moment. She remembered many pairs of eyes in front of her that day, especially the golden brown ones. She felt disappointed that Lantis didn't turn up. Those amethyst eyes...
~I still get lost in your eyes And it seems like I can't live a day without you Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right~
All angels could return to earth on the day that they had died. Hikaru was no exception. She felt her heart torn to shreds when she set eyes on her brothers. Life was pretty good up there, but it wasn't the same. God took a particular liking to her and gave her Mokona as a sort of guardian to protect her from demons like Alcyone. She missed everyone so much! Especially that someone...
~Goodbye to you Goodbye to everything I thought I knew You were the one I loved The one thing that I tried to hold on to~
The rain started to pour down. She thought to herself,' It seems like God is crying, doesn't it?' A familiar bark interupted her thoughts. "HIKARI!" she cried out loud, so he (I assume Hikari is a MALE pls correct me if I'm wrong) wasn't dead or wandering the streets at all. The animal sniffed the air as if he caught a whiff of a scent. Hikaru spirits sank, she had forgotten that she was an angel now, a ghost, no one could see, hear or feel her presence. Somewhere in the midst of all that rain, she was able to make out a silouhette. As it came into view, she gasped. "Lantis?!" she asked in awe. He was soaking wet and half naked with his black jacket shielding a small package. He stopped abruptly before the tombstone. "Sit." he commanded and the beast obeyed. So that's where Hikari went. He looked as dashing as before, his toned muscles more obvious than ever. His hair was slicked to his face, his clothes sticking to his body. She blushed and found herself lost in those purple eyes again.
~Ohhh yeah It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time I want what's yours and I want what's mine I want you but I'm not giving in this time~
He unwrapped the small package which was still then huddled safely under his arms. A small necklace fell out. It had a mirror as it's center and a outer edge of gold and rubies encircling it. It was so beautiful...He spoke softly but Hikaru just managed to catch those words. "This belonged to my mother. I wanted you to have it. I guess I was too late, but I still want you to have it." He then dug a small hole and buried it in the ground. The necklace materialized on her neck as she stared in amazement. "Thank you... " she whispered softly then she was gone. He was sure he heard Hikaru's voice speaking to him. Then with a start, he realise it was already night, and he had to go for work as a bouncer in a bar. A star twinkled in the night sky, while another streaked across the pitch dark sky. Lighting his path back, it felt like Hikaru. It felt like Hikaru was guiding him back. He turned and left, Hikari at his heels two wet streaks already sliding down his cheek.
~When the stars fall and I lie awake You're my shooting star~
From the sky, Hikaru said goodbye to the person she had missed most, feeling unusally sad. Also the tiny sparkle of emotion when she saw the least talkative, emotionless guy in the world cry over her. The shooting star's light faded away as she landed on a cloud. Heaven's gate gleamed. She was home now.
