Feel The Wind

Disclaimer: It's about time that I wrote this... It's the longest chapter ever! And Musica finally comes in! It's a miracle!

Oh, almst forgot, I don't own Rave Master! Hope you like this story!

"Hey, Elie." Haru poked his head through the tent.

"Sup, Haru." Elie replied. She sounded a little tired...

Elie wore one of those long T shirts, and it fit her so that you couldn't see the pink shorts that she wore underneath.

Haru just stood there and stared at her legs. (No! What are you doing? Wake up!)

Elie noticed him. She covered her face with her hand in a tired fashion to cover her embarassment. She walked over to where Plue was eating his lollopop. (CAVITIES) and took a seat. She could find nothing of interest here, so she tuned the radio.

Haru felt like an idiot. He'd upset Elie. He mentally slapped himself at least seven times, I'd say. Haru didn't bother to change his clothes. He just took of his jacket, set down his sword, and layed down in to the sleeping bag. He didn't look up.

Elie looked away. Griff came out of the little changing room with a blue and white stripped night cap. It was touched with a cresent shaped moon on the top. He had a book in his hand.

"Good night, Sir Plue! I'll be doing a little reading." Griff said.

He flicked on a little lamp in the corner. The main light hanging from the top of the tent turned off. (This tent is the size of a good sized bedroom... Think portable hotel room.)

Elie shifted in her sleeping bag. Haru hadn't noticed her lay down next to him. The radio was off and Plue was asleep. 'Wow, I sure do miss alot...' Haru thought. 'I was so dense to Elie, just now...' He trailed off in his thoughts.

"Elie?" Haru asked.

"Yeah?" It sounded like he had waken her up.

"I'm sorry..." He was quick to aplogise.

"Alright." Haru couldn't tell if that meant that she had forgiven him.

There was a pause. Hours ticked by.

Actually, five seconds. But they could see Griff floating by in the dim light.

"It's cold, Haru."

"It's not that cold, Elie."

Elie got up. And whipped out the book Griff was reading. "My survival guide says that I should get to warmth immidiately" Elie pretended to sound urgent. Maybe Haru would return to his old naive, happy self...

But he just turned slightly, and grumbled, "That's hypothermia, Elie."

"What?" Elie asked.

"Hypo, as in dropping, and thermia, as in heat. It's greek, or latin, alright? HYPOTHERMIA. Dropping body heat, Elie." He was agitated, but more upset than anything. Mad at himself.

"...Oh." Elie gave up and walked over to her sleeping bag. Disapointed.

"But I'm still cold, Haru- chan."

Quiet. Haru chan? What was that? Idiot! More Quiet.

"Then move your sleeping bag closer to mine, is all." Haru said. "Elie chan."

Elie couldn't see his expression in the light. She did what he suggested, though. That was just...

For a while, they were back to back.

"Hey, Haru chan?"

"Yeah, Elie chan?"

"We sound lame..."

"I know."

"Good night, Haru chan."

"Good night, Elie chan."

The next morning, Haru found himself sprawled over something squishy, mushy, slimey... Griff!

"Griff! Sorry, buddy"

Griff was still sleeping. He floated away.

Haru sat up and yawned. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"Hey, Griff, where's Plue and Elie?"

Griff replied dreamily"Miss Elie is taking a shower in the makeshift shower outside. Sir Plue is making breakfast..."

"Thanks Griff. Sorry 'bout that, though..."

Haru grabbed his toothbrush, a towel, and some clothes, and headed for the makeshift bathroom. (DID YOU NOT HEAR GRIFF, HARU? ELIE IS IN THERE!)

If you have any questions, I'll tell you the layout of this little bathroom. It's behind the tent, and looks like a white square tent.

Itself. Inside, there is a makeshift shower and a sink. There is a curtain around the shower, but the top of the tent is open. Any questions?

Haru walked with his things over to the bathroom tent. He stepprd inside. Elie was in the shower. Haru walked over to the sink.

"Elie?" Haru asked.

"Huh! Oh! Haru chan! Good morning." She was actually thinking: Don't you knock?

Haru could see her shadow figure from behind the cutrain.

"Sorry, Elie" Haru fumbled.

"It's okay! Come to brush" Her voice was muffled by the water.

"Oh! Yeah."

"You can. The sink and shower use separate water tanks." Elie said.

"Right." Elie listened to Haru's brushing.

"Hey, Haru! Hand me my towel, would ya?"

"If na ere."

"Huh?"

"If na ere."

"Me no speak Haru. Use English, please."

Haru spit toothpaste into the sink.

"Elie! It's not here."

"Oh. Would you go get it for me, then, Haru? I'm afraid I forgot it?"

"Sure." He had no choice. Elie was giving him the puppy dog eyes while she peeked through the shower curtain.

"Oh, man! I'm going, I'm going! Sheesh!" Haru frantically waved his hands in front of him.

He ran out of the tent to get Elie's towel for her.

"Hey, Griff. What's up" Haru spotted the little blue bug/ rat/ fish /whatever - else - its - been - called.

"Besides you, that is..." Haru mumbled.

You all know Griff floats in his sleep, right?

Haru grabbed Elie's towel and ran back to the other tent out there.

"Sorry to keep you waiting Elie...WWAAAHHH!"

Haru slid on a small puddle of water. He tried to grab onto something, but he grabbed the shower curtain.

Plink. Plink. Plink.

The curtain tore slightly while he tried to steady up.

Plink. Plink. Plink.

It stopped. It didn't fall. But Haru was dangerously close to where Elie's head happened to be peeping from.

So close. Haru thought.

So close. Elie thought.

They stared into each other's eyes. Afraid to move. Afraid to do what kept running through their minds...

"Thanks for the towel, Haru."

She gently took the fluffy white towel from him. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek. He looked away and she closed the curtain all the way. At least, what was left of it, anyway.

"Hey, Plue, What up" Haru asked.

Plue gave a whimper. Haru and Plue were by a propane tank stove out front making breakfast. Plue was still cooking by the time Haru had finished his shower, that Haru figured that he needed a little help.

"Pllluuuu..."

"Hey, Plue, you know that you put candy in the pancakes, right?"

"Hi, guys!"

Elie walked out of the main tent. She wore a blue mini skirt, just like always, but it had school girl pleats in it. She wore a tank top that matched, with the Heart Kruez ( Or Kruez Heart, however, it says its her favorite name brand in the manga, 1. I'm too lazy to go and check, I'm sorry...)

"Hi, there, Elie. I hope you like candy in your pancakes!" Haru laughed at Plue.

Elie gave a smile. They were both still a uncomfortable around each other, because of before.

I wanted... I should have... he must hate me. I feel terrible.

Haru noticed she was uncomfortable.

"Hey, Elie, I'm going to wake up Griff. 'Bout time he got up! You can help yourself to some candy pancakes, if you like." Haru said quickly.

"Sure thing, Haru." Elie looked down at her feet.

Haru walked past her and whispered a quick, "I'm Sorry." into her ear.

Plue scampered behind.

Elie gasped slightly and her eyes widened a little. She felt ashamed.

Elie stood alone. On the propane stove, there was a pan with golden brown pancakes. There were bits of candy broken up and placed inside. Next to the tank, there was a table, and two long benches, like a picnic table. There were hundreds - well, not really - of panckes, piled on plates, all over the table.

"So, that's why he took so long... Hey!" Elie thought to herself,"Where'd all the pancake mix come from?"

Elie's thoughts opf pancakes were interupted by a smooth and deep voice in front of her..

"What's up, Elie? Besides you having your head in the clouds over there."

"Musica!"

Elie ran towards Musica, her arms in the air, ready to capture him in them.

Musica smiled. In fact, he laughed. Elie looked like a chlid. Just as cute, too. His subconcious said. Whoa! Where did that come from?

As Elie ran towards him, her shoe (Which is very adorable and expensive and perfect) caught on a rock. (Oh no! Sorry, I'll stop now!) and she fell into Musica.

He broke her fall... but he was holding her across the waist... her around his neck... in an accidental kiss.

They both stood wide eyed at each other. What the heck just happened? was the only thing going through their minds. Well, not for Musica, that is.

"Griff! Get up already! I mean down! Whatever! Fine. Wake down, or something, but just stop sleeping"

Haru was having a hell of a time getting Griff up.

"I'm not giving up. You'll wake up even if it's the last thing I do!"

And that seemed pretty likely. Griff seems like a light sleeper, cause he floats and all... but as you can see...

Neither dared to move.There were many reasons for this, too.

It was a light kiss, they closed their eyes as it deepened. Elie felt her body heat up - it showed by the deep scarlet blush on her face.

Musica backed off first.

"Oh! Musica... I- I'm so sorry" Elie was a little dumdfounded.

"It's okay, Elie! You, know, Elie, you should fall more often..." Musica added.

They leaned closer.

Elie felt something strange behind her, and turned around suddenly.

The Rave was glowing.

A blue stream of light. It peirced through to her heart from the sword. The Ten Powers sword was leaning up on the main tent.

Elie was shocked. She touched the light with her fingertips, and she felt her heart break.

Musica spoke first. "Elie, the Rave.."

"I know! I don't understand..." she trailed off, unsure of herself.

" Haru fought alot of battles" Musica explained"and so the Rave has kind of become a part of him. His soul. His heart."

"Elie" Musica continued. "...his heart."

Elie didn't know what to do. So afraid. So confused.

This Love - Maroon 5

I was so high I did not recognize

The fire burning in her eyes

The chaos that controlled my mind

Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane

Never to return again

But always in my heart

This love has taken its toll on me

She said goodbye too many times before

And her heart is breaking in front of me

I have no choice, cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite

Keep her coming every night

So hard to keep her satisfied

Kept playing love like it was just a game

Pretending to feel the same

Then turn around and leave again

This love has taken its toll on me

She said goodbye too many times before

And her heart is breaking in front of me

I have no choice, cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things

Repair your broken wings

And make sure everything's alright

(it's alright, it's alright)

My pressure on your hips

Sinking my fingertips

Every into inch of you

Cause I know that's what you want me to do

This love has taken its toll on me

She said goodbye too many times before

Her heart is breaking in front of me

And I have no choice, cause I won't say goodbye anymore

This love has taken its toll on me

She said goodbye too many times before

Her heart is breaking in front of me

And she said goodbye too many times before

This love has taken its toll on me

She said goodbye too many times before

My heart is breaking in front of me

But I have no choice, cause I won't say goodbye anymore

They tried everything to make the light go away. It grew stronger whenever Musica went near it. Elie took the shining Rave Stone out of the sword and held it up to her heart. It stopped to their releif. 'Bout time, too.

"Hey, Musica, thanks! How did you know that it would work?" Elie asked enthusiastically.

"In my training as a Silver Claimer."

But he said nothing else. Elie guessed it was a sensitive topic... and also guessed to leave it alone.

Elie turned around. "Hey, Musica, that... that kiss... I..."

"It's alright, Ell." Musica looked to the sky.

"Musica? Want some breakfast?"

"Of coure!"

They picked the candy out and practiced throwing it into a cup for a while. Elie got mad and nearly shot the picnic table with her tonfa guns. Musica had to stop her God knows how. And Haru watched from the tent. When he walked out to say hi to Musica, only Elie saw the hurt in his eyes. But how would she explain to the both of them? She'd break Musica's heart, but that day, when they first met, he actually noted that she was...maybe...with Haru... he'd understand. But Haru...

Elie bit her lip. And she looked into Musica's eyes... she felt that she would drown in them... and Haru's eyes... she looked back into them... they were frozen.

Wow! That was fun! So much drama! I hope you liked it as much as I did! Tell me what you think!
