Chapter II: MemoriesNoon
She stood there in an elegant position. Her delicate fingers grasped a red crystal orb. The orb had elaborate gold designs that formed a golden wolf and little sun designs. Sparks and mystical fire swirled around inside the orb, giving it an incandescent glow.
Dark flames circled around her. Although the fire around her was burning brightly it, cast shadows on her face. An evil grin formed on her ruby red lips. Her dark red, almost black eyes wore a cold and deadly gleam. Her skin was a soft peach, and her cheeks flushed a rosy pink.
Her long bangs that framed the edge of her face were braided into four thin braids and two of them were pushed back behind her ears. The braids had tiny crystals clipped onto the ends to keep the braids from unraveling. The rest of her hair was pulled into a loose, messy ponytail. Her hair flowed in crimson curls, like flames with flecks of gold, down to her waist, and shone brightly like a glowing ember. A single gold ribbon was tied around the ponytail, leaving the ends flowing down to her feet.
She wore a shirt with a neckline that was just below her collarbone. The sleeves flared out by her elbow and ended at her wrists. At the edges were tiny rubies embedded in the sleeves. The silk black shirt hugged her slim body and the frilly bottom ended where her skirt and shirt met.
Her skirt ended just below her knees and fell loosely at the bottom. It was made up of pure black silk and had what looked like a design of red flames.
Her armor on her shoulder and chest were black with red trimming, and the chest armor had a gold design that looked like a flame.
Tiny red rubies dangled off a black silk ribbon with a gold clasp, which was loosely tied around her neck. She wore dark red boots that were laced all the way up to her knee with black ribbons.
The fire around her grew brighter as a surge of anger and hatred flowed through her heart. Her soul was nothing but a dark hell.
She grinned evilly at the figures that were trapped in her orb. The cries of their helpless souls filled her with pleasure and delight. She swiftly flicked her hand upwards. The figures dissolved leaving glowing gold lights. Flicking her hand downwards, the lights turned into gems that levitated above the crystal orb. She snatched the gems and crushed them in her hand. Her hand dripping with blood, after being cut by the sharp crystals' edge, she brought her hand up to her mouth and licked a drop of blood from her palm.
Hikaru curled up in the cozy red chair that lay in the corner of the study. A large glass window stood before her and glistened in the rising sun. The window was slightly ajar allowing the breeze to enter the room. The dark red drapes that hung along the edges of the window swayed to and fro with the coming wind. Hikaru slid into her seat, pulled a soft pink blanket over her, and stared out into distance. She could already hear her bother, Sotaru, getting ready for his morning kendo practice. Hikaru drifted off into a light sleep.
The sun shone brightly and the branches of the cherry blossom tree danced in the cool summer breeze. Three girls sat on the stone steps of a porch of a red house. The steps of the porch led to a beautiful mahogany door with a brass handle.
The three girls sat close together, smiling for the camera. Fuu sat in an elegant position with her legs crossed and hands folded in her lap. Her dark, forest green dress swayed in the wind and touched the floor. Her round glasses and caramel colored hair framed her delicate face. Her emerald eyes shone brightly with happiness as the tips of her lips curved upwards into a smile. Umi sat next to Fuu and gently pushed her long, smooth sapphire hair behind her shoulders. Umi straightened her navy blue headband and smoothed out her silky blue skirt that flowed down to her ankles. Her mouth opened slightly as she smiled happily. Umi placed her hands behind her and leaned slightly towards Fuu to get into the picture better. Hikaru's eyes shone like rubies and were filled with joy and happiness. She stretched her arms out in a "Y" position, and knelt down behind Umi and Fuu. Her silky, maroon tank-top matched her maroon skirt that ended at her knees. Hikaru pushed her ruby braid in front of her left shoulder. She opened her mouth and smiled happily.
The camera flashed with a blinding white light and the three girls started giggling because Hikaru started twirling around complaining that she saw little rainbow confetti stars. The camera flashed again and caught them all giggling. They all wanted to remember this day. This was the last time they would be able to see each other. They all posed for another picture.
After several pictures, Hikaru scooted onto the railing and kicked her feet back and forth as she looked up at the sky. She then looked back at the ground and her feet stopped kicking. She turned towards Umi.
"Umi, are you really going away?" Hikaru asked
"Yeah, my dad and I are going to America," Umi answered "He got a new job there to work at the New York Stock Exchange."
"What about you Fuu?" Hikaru asked
"Yes, I am going to Italy, on a scholarship," replied Fuu. "I am going to study at a university there."
"I'm really going to miss you guys," Hikaru said "I hope we see each other again!"
"I really hope so too," said Fuu.
"Me too!" added Umi.
"Come on Umi, we have to leave now or we'll be late for the plane," called Umi's father
"Okay, coming dad!" Umi answered.
Umi ran down the steps and rode off in a black Mercedes Benz with her dad.
Fuu and Hikaru waved and shouted good bye to Umi.
A silver BMW drove in the driveway and Fuu's mother opened the door and called to Fuu to come into the car to leave for the airport.
Fuu ran over to the car and waved to Hikaru.
Hikaru shouted a good bye and waved her hand high above her head.
Hikaru opened one eye to see the sky a pale blue and the sun just a little above the roof tops. It must've been about 8:30 am. The atmosphere in the study was so serene and quiet. Hikaru looked at the floor and thought about the dream. That had happened 2 months ago and still, Hikaru hadn't received a phone call from either of her friends. Hikaru shrugged off the thought; they were probably busy with work and their own affairs. A loud ringing sound broke the silence and Hikaru's thought. Hikaru rose from the chair and swung her feet to the side; slipping her feet into a pair of fluffy white slippers. Hikaru skidded across the finished wooded floor of the study and pulled open the door. Hikaru ran down the hallway, took a glance at the number that appeared on the screen, and answered with a perky "Hiya!"
It was her boyfriend, Shuuichi Minamino, an eighteen year old male with messy, bright, red hair that ended just below his shoulders. He had beautiful, intense, emerald eyes. He tends to be fairly calm, and protective of those he cares about. Shuuichi is an excellent student who is extremely smart, especially in biology.
"Good morning Hikaru" Shuuichi said calmly "Are you feeling better?"
"Yep! I'm feeling much better!" said Hikaru in her usual perky voice. "I just had a slight fever yesterday, but I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" asked Shuuichi
"Yeah! Want to hang out at the park?" replied Hikaru
"Okay, I'll see you in an hour." Said Shuuichi
Hikaru raced to the bathroom upstairs to brush her teeth and take a quick shower. Hikaru walked down the hallway to her room. She pushed open the mirror doors to her closet and shuffled through the clothes. Hikaru changed into her favorite red tank top. It visited the washing machine so much, that it was starting to become too small for Hikaru and showed part of her mid-drift, and she had to pull it down constantly. The shorts from underneath the skirt peaked out from under the skirt at the sides where there were two slits. A black belt with a pouch on the side lay at the top of the black skort.
Hikaru quickly braided her crimson hair and tied it with a maroon scrunchy. Hikaru took one more glance at her reflection in the mirror and slid across the room in her slippers. Hikaru raced down the hallway and slid down the stair railing. She kicked off her slippers and quickly slipped her feet into her sneakers. Then she cheerfully skipped out the door. Hikaru cheerfully skipped down the crowded streets, making turns and crossing streets. She knew the way by heart. Hikaru had lived in Tokyo her whole life and going to the park was no problem for her.
Hikaru's silver ankle bracelet, which was given to her from Shuuichi, jingled as she took each step down the crowded path. Hikaru walked into the park and made her way towards the large fountain in the back of the park that resembled a waterfall. Hikaru sat on the stone wall that lined the edge of the water about 3 feet above the ground. Hikaru kicked her feet back and forth as she waited for Shuuichi.
"Boo!" shouted Shuuichi as he pushed her gently forward
Hikaru jumped and turned around
"Hey!" Hikaru shouted playfully. "Don't scare me like that!" Hikaru giggled.
"Yep, I can definitely tell you're feeling much better," said Shuuichi. "Here"
Shuuichi brought his hand behind his head and pulled out a rose. Shuuichi gently placed it in Hikaru's hair. Hikaru giggled and smiled
Hikaru looked down at the ground. The grass swayed to and fro with the coming breeze. The breeze picked up several cherry blossom petals. The petals danced around Hikaru, each following the one in front like a magical trail of memories.
"What did you say the name of this dish was?" he asked
"Spaghetti!" Umi shouted. "It's my favorite!"
Clef and Ascot both looked at each other and then back at their plates. They both lifted their forks and brought them to their mouths. They were slowly chewing their food, as if testing to see if it was worthy enough for their taste buds.
"Come on already!" Umi shouted at the two of them. "I want to know if you like this dish Fuu and I prepared!"
They finished their food just as fast as Ferio did.
"Wow! Where did you get the recipe for this dish?" Ascot asked
"Oh, it's a recipe from our world" replied Umi.
"Well, it had a very unique and um… different taste to it…especially the sauce" Clef said smirking because he knew Umi and prepared the sauce.
"Hey! I made that sauce! And it's perfectly fine!" Umi shouted
Hikaru giggled at the thought of what Umi would have done if Clef had said he knew that she was the one that made the sauce. Shuuichi looked up and tilted his head to the side, looking at Hikaru.
"What's so funny?" Shuuichi asked, giving her a perplexed look.
"Oh," Hikaru said shaking her head. "Nothing"
A cherry blossom petal fell into the palm of her hand and Hikaru gazed at it as it were a crystal ball and would tell the future.
"Maybe she still doesn't feel well," Shuuichi thought.
"Stay away from my Lantis!" shouted Primera
Hikaru tilted her head to the side and wondered what the little fairy, with long sapphire hair, meant. (A/N: Super deform!! cat ears, tail, and BIG sweat drop!!!!!! =P)
"You should know what I mean!" Primera said
"Um… okay?" Hikaru wasn't sure how to respond to such an odd comment.
All of a sudden, a big fluffy white rabbit-like creature jumped up from behind Primera and clamped its mouth on her dainty wings.
"Mokona!" Presea screamed halfway across the courtyard.
Presea is a silversmith with golden blond hair pulled back into a high ponytail.
"You threw all of my papers in my office on the floor," Presea shouted at Mokona
Presea stepped on Mokona, squishing Mokona into the ground. Grabbing Mokona's ears, she crossed one over the other and twisting them in a series of knots, Mokona's ears were transformed into a ten pound bow.
Hikaru giggled at the memory. Hikaru smiled at Shuuichi because the puzzled look he wore on his face was so unbearably funny. Hikaru looked back at her hand and stuffed the petal into her pocket. She stood up and smiled
"Come on lets go!" Hikaru said in her usual cheery voice.
As they were walking along the sidewalk around town, Hikaru gently took out the pink petal from her pocket. She gazed at it for a while; she closed her fingers tightly around the petal, but gently, so as not to crush the petal.
Hikaru's eyes widened and grimaced. She slowly opened her hand and saw that there was blood dripping down her wrist from the palm of her hand. Where the petal once lay, there were silky pink strings that were tied tightly around her hand. She tugged at the strings, and tried to loosen them. The strings just became tighter and her hand burned as if it was placed in an oven.
Hikaru balled her hand into a fist and tried to fight the pain. All of a sudden, she saw everything around her turn white. She was standing on an abandoned street and her hand dripped of blood. Hikaru glanced around.
A soft whisper left her lips, "Where am I?"
Hikaru held her hand to stop the bleeding a little and walked up the deserted street. All of a sudden, a car speed down the street, Hikaru screamed. She wanted to move, but her legs felt like logs and she couldn't move a budge. The car swerved to the left, just in time, skidding and screeching to a stop, just inches away from Hikaru. The crowded streets returned around her and everything was back to normal.
"Hikaru!" Shuuichi screamed.
He ran over to her and held her in his arms. Hikaru had a puzzled and clueless expression. She just stood there in surprise.
"What just happened?" Hikaru asked.
"You were walking down the sidewalk staring at that petal, when the wind picked it up and it blew into the street. You ran over to get it, and that's when that car came speeding down the street. Didn't you know what you were doing?" Shuuichi replied.
"Uh, yeah, um, maybe we should just go," Hikaru replied.
"Maybe we should call it a day and you should just go back to your house and take a nap." Kurama said in a worried tone.
"No, its okay, I'm fine," Hikaru replied.
Hikaru looked back at her palm; a trickle of blood fell from it. She balled her hand into a fist to hide the cut from Shuuichi. She wondered why it was still bleeding, if the petal wasn't around her hand and now safely in her pocket.
Hikaru turned her head towards the arcade. She stopped and stared at the glass window. She fell into another daydream.
"Come on Lantis! It's not that hard," Hikaru shouted over the noise from the video game.
"HaHa! I think I got it now!" Eagle shouted.
"Which button do you press to kick, again?" Lantis asked staring at the game console.
Hikaru giggled and replied, "The blue one!"
"What… Eagle! You're wining!" Hikaru exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah! See I told you I was a fast learner!"
"Yeah right!" Lantis shouted
Hikaru giggled.
Hikaru shook her head and caught up to Shuuichi.
"Why am I having these weird daydreams lately?" Hikaru thought and asked herself.
"Come on, I want to show you something," Shuuichi said, interrupting her thought.
Hikaru snapped out of her dreamy state and looked up at Shuuichi.
"Okay, let's go!" Hikaru said.
They passed by various shops, and restaurants, and Hikaru was starting to wonder how long they had been walking and if it was going to take much longer.
"Where are we going?" Hikaru asked after some time had gone by.
"It's a surprise."
"Awe, I want to know though! It seems like we've been walking for hours already!" Hikaru whined
"Not hours, it's just been half and hour"
"Oh, well. Still, that's a long time."
"Almost there."
Hikaru looked down the winding path downhill, and saw the crystal blue waters glistening and sparkling under the sun. Hikaru filled with excitement. She smiled.
"Race you down to the beach!" Hikaru said with her usual perky voice.
"You're on!" Shuuichi replied back, taking off with a head start.
"NO fair!" Hikaru giggled.
Reaching the golden white sand just seconds before Hikaru, Shuuichi won the race.
"You cheated!" Hikaru giggled and smiled.
"No, you just weren't paying attention to the race, so you started after me," Shuuichi said trying to make his voice sound dignified, and keeping himself from laughing.
Hikaru ran towards the water's edge. She looked out into the deep azure waters. They reminded her of Umi. Hikaru missed her friends so much. She missed Cephiro. Shuuichi caught up to Hikaru, stopping just a few feet behind her. He crept slowly up to her, and pushed her gently into the water. Hikaru fell in with a splash and surfaced drenched in ocean water.
Hikaru giggled and splashed water at Shuuichi, who dodged the water easily. Hikaru floated in the water, look up at the sky. The sun was now high above her, taking its place at its thorn, the peak of the sky. Clouds disappeared from sight and the sky was a perfect blue, the kind you only see in paintings. It didn't feel real to Hikaru for some reason. Something wasn't right. She could sense it. Hikaru couldn't help but feel like she was being watched.
