Dynasty sisters

A/N: Hey there, Bunny Fuu-Fuu here ^^ my first proper fic here, and I'm
sorry that I hadn't done anything about it for a while, I've had major
writer's block ^^;;;
Anyway, on with the story...and yes, there are pairings, but later on in the
story. BTW, if I hadn't mentioned this in the summary, the three girls are
sisters
Disclaimer: I don't own MKR; the wonderful CLAMP ladies do...and if they
decide to sell characters, Clef, Ferio, and Eagle are MINE FIRST!!!!
Lol.
Italics= thinking, or if at the start of a chapter, quotes.

"Let the light wash over you, and sweep away the darkness...let sleep be your
friend, and rest your worries on my pillow..."

"Umi, that's not fair!"
"Life's not fair, get used of it"
"But..." Hikaru was trying to argue her point.
"But what? I won fair and square. You know by now that I've always been the
best fencer, right?" Umi was countering. Fuu, on the other hand, hand been
keeping out the argument, her head in a book; face deep in thought. She
raised her eyes to the pair, and said in a quiet yet cool voice, "Hikaru,
you tried hard, but you know that Umi has always had the upper hand. I'm
sorry for taking a side, but it's a true fact". Hikaru sighed in defeat, "I
suppose your right..."
"Damn straight!" Umi agreed, before laughing, and swinging an arm around
Hikaru's shoulder, "Hey, for less experience than me, you done great. Well
done little sister" Fuu nodded, "Yes, well done"
"Oh! That reminds me!" Umi exclaimed, "Remember, we're going to meet Tarta,
Tatra and Caldania on the way to the Hinagashi tournament."
"And Precea." added Fuu, "she said she'd meet us there"
"Right" said Hikaru, "well, let's get ready! We have a lot of travelling
ahead of us" the other two nodded, before starting to bustle around the
house, preparing for the journey. Umi was making food and drinks for the
days ahead, while Fuu packed her potions and remedies up, just in case.
Hikaru was getting the weapons ready, and had made scabbards for both Umi
and herself to put their swords in. Fuu's longbow was in a long slip made
of cotton, and her arrows were sitting next to it in a leather quiver.
Hikaru heaved a yawn, before turning to Fuu sleepily; "I might go take a
nap for a while. I need some sleep"
"Alright" Fuu smiled warmly, "Have a good sleep, dear"
"I will..." she replied, before moving into her small room, her eyes shutting
even before her head hit her pillow.

"Fuu, what are we gonna do with her? She hasn't had proper sleep for over
two months" Umi was concerned about Hikaru and her sleeping pattens since
their last tournament. "I'm not sure Umi...I've tried to give her sleeping
potions, but they never work..." Fuu's warm face was sorrowful as she took
off her glasses and cleaned them with a rag. "I hope...that this 'Clef'
person can help her. She's having a hard time with her studies now as
well." Umi sighed and packed the last of the soft cheese into a cloth,
ready for the day ahead. Fuu was looking out the window, a light smile on
her gloomy face, "It's a warm night tonight, maybe we should leave soon"
"Your probably right...we should pack up the rest of the gear, then wake
Hikaru. At least we can have a sleep on the road"
"I'll go pack her things..." Fuu left the window, and finished packing
Hikaru's clothes. Umi smiled at Fuu, as if a mother was smiling at her
child, "I'm surprised Fuu isn't the oldest of us...she acts far more mature
than me..." and packed the food into the saddlebag that was sitting on the
kitchen table. Without a second thought, she quickly slipped into her room
and got changed. Her riding garb consisted of a baby blue peasant top
tucked into blue riding breeches, and long, thigh-high black leather boots.
Her hair was loose and free, and around her hips a belt. Fuu came out her
own room adorning her own mint green collared shirt, a brown vest with a
silvery-white wing stitched on the breast, emerald green breeches with shin-
high forest green boots, and her hair tied in a green ribbon. Both her
thighs had belts around them, a sheathed dagger and pouches on each. She
smiled that warm smile, before saying, "I'll go wake Hikaru" Umi just
nodded, and lifted her saddlebag, walking to the stables.
"Hikaru, are you awake?" Fuu whispered to her as she shook her shoulder
gently, hearing an audible noise from Hikaru. She smiled with her result,
and laid her riding clothes on her bed, picking up Hikaru's packed
saddlebag and heading out the door. Hikaru rubbed her eyes and yawned a
little; kind of glad she was woken. She slipped on her red breeches, her
candy pink peasant top, knee-high riding boots and platted her fire
coloured hair, tying a yellow ribbon on the end. Looking at herself in the
mirror, she was quite content with herself, and hurried out the door,
picking up sheathed swords and bow, going out to the stables herself.
"Gosh, this is heavy" Fuu lifted her saddle onto her palomino, Windom,
adjusting the stirrups. Umi was already mounted on her white appaloosa,
Celes, as she called him, and was trotting around the yard stretching his
legs. Hikaru was about to mount her chestnut brumby, Rayearth, before he
started to walk, throwing her off balance a little. She scolded him for a
moment, before slipping into her saddle with ease. She had put of her belt
and now had her broadsword in its scabbard sitting on her hip. "Guys, how
are you going with your weapons?" she asked, adjusting hers slightly.
"Perfect, Hikaru-chan" Fuu replied, her bow resting on her back, secured
with a strap that crossed over her chest and her quiver that was held with
a loop over her shoulder. "Great!" came Umi's reply, her rapier sitting on
her own hip. "Lets get going then! We can trot until sunrise and rest a
while near the main road"
"Good idea Umi" smiled Fuu, absently pushing her glasses back onto the
bridge of her nose, before kicking Windom's flanks gently, setting him off
into a trot. Both the other girls followed suit, the three of them setting
out into the warm and star-scattered night...
